At the calligraphy and painting stall on Xiaoluohe Street, Su Chen and Nangong Bing'er were crowded among the crowd of Daji people watching.
Nangong Bing'er was very surprised when she saw the ink painting "Happy Meeting" painted by the stall owner, and she also liked it quite a lot.
This person's calligraphy and painting is a masterpiece. He must be a famous artist at this level.
“This man’s paintings and lyrics are top-notch!
I want to buy a painting and calligraphy from him and give it to my mother!
If I sneak out to visit the temple fair this time, she will definitely be angry and punish me by copying ten volumes of military books!
However, my mother always likes poetry and music. I brought such a poem back to her at the temple fair. She must have liked it after reading it, so she became angry and did not punish me for copying the military book! "
Nangong Bing'er looked expectantly and said to Su Chen, "Little brother, help me think of a way how to buy his calligraphy and paintings!"
There are too many people who want to buy the calligraphy and paintings of this stall owner. They are surrounded by people, rushing to buy them with silver, but she can't buy them at all.
Besides, this stall owner has sold out the last painting and calligraphy, and wants to close the stall to spend the twelfth lunar month festival with his wife, so he doesn’t plan to sell any more!
Su Chen looked at this elegant middle-aged man wearing a mask, watching him write calligraphy and painting, and always felt a little familiar.
It's not that I've seen the person before, but I feel like I've heard the person's name before.
Su Chen was thinking, and a picture flashed through his mind. A few days ago, he was drinking in a restaurant, and he heard a drinker say,
{The Southern Tang Kingdom, one of the princes of Daji, had its capital city conquered and its country was destroyed!
Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, escaped from the capital and disappeared without a trace! ...Alas, the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty has lost another vassal state! }
Su Chen's heart couldn't help but move.
Li Yu, the vassal king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was one of the ninety-eight vassal kings in the Daji Immortal Dynasty. It is said that he was extremely advanced in painting and poetry. "!
Among the princes and kings, no one can compare with his paintings and poems.
And among the Danqing sect, no one can compare with him in cultivation level of the Emperor sect.
Looking at the pictures and lyrics drawn by this person, just one stroke at a time is a masterpiece. Every word and sentence is full of sadness and desolation, full of sadness after experiencing the sorrow of the world.
Could it be that this stall owner is Li Yu, the vassal king who escaped from the vassal states of the Southern Tang Dynasty and disappeared mysteriously? !
"If you want to buy his paintings and calligraphy, it's not impossible!"
Su Chen pondered for a moment,
He whispered in Nangong Bing'er's ear: "This person is a great master of painting and calligraphy. Since he is selling paintings and calligraphy, it must be because of financial constraints.
He closed the stall early and went back to accompany his wife. He must be extremely caring for his family.
We might as well follow him to his home.
As long as you are willing to pay a high price for a calligraphy and painting, he will definitely consider it. "
"Eh! That's right~!"
Nangong Bing'er's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, let's follow him to his residence! There is no need to compete with the onlookers present to bid for this person's paintings and calligraphy... Let's go, let's follow him!"
...
Near Xiaoluo River.
There is a very elegant three-story attic. This building faces the street and overlooks the entire bustling Xiaoluo River.
In this land where every inch of land is at a premium, this small attic is a sky-high price.
On the small pavilion.
The red silk tent woven with dark gold threads and tortoise shell nails are hung on the entire wall; emeralds are inlaid in every window pane, and red silk gauze is pasted on the windows.
A richly dressed lady was leaning on the dressing table, her red lips were pressed with a thin piece of red paper, and she was lightly applying rouge.
Her eyes were slightly red, all caused by crying every day.
She is none other than Queen Xiao Zhou, the wife of Li Yu, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty,
Li Yu took her and a group of guards to escape from the capital, and fled all the way to Luoyi, the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty.
Next to the Xiaoluo River, a small attic was purchased with a lot of money as a place to live.
They did not dare to go to other vassal states. The other vassal kings might hand them over or kill them.
The Great Ji Immortal Emperor is the leader of the imperial sects of the Middle-earth Divine State and the head of the princes.
Luoyi Imperial City is also the only place that can shelter and protect them.
suddenly,
A light breeze blew through the window.
Behind the curtain, I saw a dark double figure, holding a fish intestine spiritual sword, staring at her with cold eyes, "Are you the wife of Li Yu, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the little empress Zhou?"
"You, who are you~?"
When Xiao Zhou saw the shadow and the fierce soldiers, her face suddenly changed color, and she leaned on the dressing table in fear, "What do you want to do when you sneak into the small pavilion!"
“Ma’am, please be respectful!
I, Gaine, am an assassin, not a flower picker!
What are you doing in such a panic?
It caused unnecessary misunderstandings and ruined my reputation as an assassin! "
The black-clothed assassin Gaine stood behind the screen, glanced at Empress Zhou, and snorted coldly: "I won't kill you, I only came to kill your husband Li Yu... However, since you are here, then Li Yu will definitely not be able to go far!"
He glanced out the window, looking out onto the street.
I saw a middle-aged man carrying something in his hand, heading towards the small attic.
"The real owner is back!"
The assassin in black, Gaine, quickly disappeared behind the screen.
...
"Madam~, I'm back!"
An elegant middle-aged man with a mask opened the door and entered the small attic and returned home.
He took off his mask, revealing a pale and elegant thin face.
He was also holding a bunch of fresh spiritual fish bought from the market in his hand, preparing to cook a braised carp meal in the evening to celebrate the twelfth lunar month with his wife.
"Husband, I have wronged you!
As a noble king of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Daji, you are pampered and above ten thousand people...!
You shouldn't have sold calligraphy and painting on the street just to earn three to five hundred silver! "
Xiao Zhouhou's pink face was pale at this time, and she hurriedly rushed up to meet him. She held his hand with great distress, and her eyes were full of tears.
Li Yu smiled and shook his head, comforting Little Empress Zhou and said, "Oh~, I am not a talented person among the princes and kings, and I have no ambition to compete in the world of Daji.
All my life, I just like to dance, write, and practice ink painting and poetry!
My level of cultivation in Danqing Ci Fu is even higher than that of Dimen.
But I am in the prince's house, and I can't help myself.
Nowadays, it doesn’t matter if you don’t become the princes and kings of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you can also be ordinary people!
I sold a few paintings and calligraphy on the streets of Luoyi, and I made thousands of taels of silver in one day, which was enough for you and me to spend in Luoyi! "
Although his current life is not as good as that of the princes and kings of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he does not have a kingdom with a fertile land of thousands of miles, a palace of three thousand, a treasury of tens of millions of silver, and countless rare treasures.
However, with his current cultivation as a master of painting and poetry, he can still make a lot of money every day.
I bought a luxurious little loft in Luoyi and settled down with Xiao Zhou for the rest of my life. The expenses were enough, so I didn't have to live too hard.
But,
Li Yu soon discovered that there was something wrong with Xiao Zhouhou's face. There was still some panic and fear in her tearful eyes. It was obvious that she had just been frightened.
Someone broke in?
Li Yu was immediately alert, and quickly glanced at the window of the small building behind him, and saw the wind blowing through the curtains, revealing an extremely dim shadow, hiding in the darkness behind the screen.
He understood instantly!
assassin!
Assassin again!
They chased and killed them all the way from the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Imperial City of Luoyi! In the imperial capital of Daji, they still dare to commit murder!
Li Yu's happy expression disappeared immediately, his face was extremely miserable, and he said in a hateful voice:
"I am no longer the king of the princes of the Emperor's clan in Daji. I gave up my feudal kingdom and fled to Luoyi to become an ordinary commoner.
Why are you still hanging on?
Assassins came one after another, chasing me all the way. Do they have to kill me? ! "
On the way to escape, all his guards from the Southern Tang Dynasty were killed, and almost all the belongings he brought with him to escape were lost. Now only he and Xiao Zhouhou are left, struggling to support themselves.
"Li Jun!
The princes of the imperial clan have always lived and died together with the country!
How can the princes of the Daji Emperor's clan, whose country has been destroyed, still survive alone! ...You don’t have any awareness at all. No wonder your country was destroyed by the King of Song Dynasty.
As long as you live, there is a possibility of restoring the country. Even if the roots are not removed, the spring breeze will bring new growth!
I will also let you die clearly.
The king of the princes and the king of Song Dynasty offered fifty thousand taels of black silver and invited assassins from all over the world to buy your life!
It’s useless for you to run away to the ends of the earth! ...Even if he fled to Luoyi and became an ordinary citizen, he still could not escape death.
You should be lucky that you met me this time, Assassin Gaine!
I will only kill you, not Queen Zhou! "
Behind the screen, the black-clothed assassin Gaine slowly drew out the fish-gut spirit sword and said lightly with a hint of ridicule.
"Boom!"
suddenly.
There was a knock on the door in the small attic.
The door, which was ajar, was pushed open with a creak.
The assassin in black was about to take action, but when he saw someone coming to the door, he was startled and couldn't help but hold back.
Li Yu silently glanced at the assassin behind the screen.
Then he looked back at the door of the small attic.
But they saw a handsome boy, about fifteen years old, and a girl with gorgeous clothes, standing outside the door of the small attic.
"This sir, ma'am!"
Su Chen walked into the small pavilion, raised his hands and said politely: "This lady bids five hundred taels of black silver, and wants you to bring a painting and calligraphy!"
The assassin in black, Gaine, hid behind the screen, calmed down and narrowed his sharp eyes.
These two boys and girls are in the way.
It's just that he has a habit of only assassinating people for whom he has a heavy bounty, and he kills as many people as he takes for the money, without touching other people - there is no money to take, so he doesn't want to do free killings.
