Royal Master Painter

Chapter 273
When the fourth pattern was hung up, the viewers didn't have much reaction.

Xuanguo worshiped Confucianism and demoted Mohism, and Mohist craftsmen were regarded as the lowest level of enlightenment, so the utensils they made were far less valuable than calligraphy and painting.

Jiang Li was also surprised that this pattern was a composition he worked so hard to complete, and it was received coldly.

Although the patterns are precious, in Daxuan City, the number of truly enlightened craftsmen is not more than that of Tenglong Mansion.

"This drawing is the only humanoid drawing I have drawn. It is called Xing Tian. It is a thousand feet tall and powerful. Its body structure is completely compared to the most perfect fighting state."

Xing Tian is one of the rare gods of war in Shan Hai Jing who can dominate a side in human form. Jiang Greed explained it for a long time, but still no one bid.

Jiang Greed wasn't angry at all, after all, he should have collected enough money, and he didn't care whether the painting could be sold or not.

But just when Jiang Lu was about to put away the painting, someone finally made an offer.

"Since no one bids, it happens that I am interested in this pattern, [-] gold."

In the last row of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, someone waved at Jiang Li, indicating that it was his offer.

This man is not very old, his eyes are like crescent moons, and the corners of his mouth are raised. He often has a smile on his face that makes people feel like a spring breeze. He is playing with a small clay figurine in his hands, and there are some mud spots on his fair face.

The people present, even Peng Dory, a second-rank military general, did not know the identity of this person.

But Chen Chen and Zhang Tang were clearly aware of this, and their hearts tightened after seeing this young man. There was no news from the prison office that such a dangerous person had come to Daxuan City.

"Cao Li? Why is he here?"

"It should be not long after I came here," Chen Cao'an said.

"Cao Li?"

"Cao Shen's son?"

There was a lot of discussion for a while. When Tianshe Mansion fought for the Daxuan Kingdom, the most powerful resistance they encountered came from the Cao family.

Of the hundred kingdoms in the original chaotic era, only Wei, supported by the Cao family, and Xuan Guo, supported by the generals, remained.

Jiang Liting and Cao Mingshan became the most prominent generals in the world at that time, and it was also at that time that they had the reputation of "the hero of the world is none other than Jiang Cao".

It was only under the joint pressure of several governments that the Cao family decided to join Daxuan, and Cao Lili was a descendant of Cao Mingshan.

The reunion between Jiang Greed and Cao Yong made everyone feel uneasy. Not to mention the talents of the two people, the power they represent alone is enough to stir up the world. Now that the two are gathered in Daxuan City, the future will naturally not be the same. Calm down.

I have also heard about Cao's use of Jiang Li. It is said that the pottery craftsman was enlightened. This pattern is not very useful for Jiang Li to keep for himself, so it is better to sell it to him for [-] gold.

"Thirty thousand gold, this pattern..."

"Wait a minute, I'm also interested in this pattern," said Chen Cao'an, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Chen Cao'an was not a craftsman, not even an enlightened person, so Jiang Li couldn't think of the use of Chen Cao'an's design.

"The pattern doesn't seem to be of much use to your Excellency," Jiang Greed asked curiously.

"Isn't the appreciation fair going to the highest bidder? It doesn't seem to matter what I do for it," Chen Caoan said with a smile.

"Okay, then please continue"

It is a good thing that someone bids for the auction. After all, who would dislike a lot of money, let alone a person like Jiang Li who is greedy for money and lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death.

But soon Jiang Li realized something was wrong. Although this pattern is precious, no matter whether it is a carpenter or a stonemason, it can create a god of war after taking pictures, but fifty thousand gold is already as high as the sky, but these two people are not to be outdone. Said 20.

"Mr. Lu, does this Cao Li have any enmity with Chen Cao'an?"

Jiang Greed was a little puzzled, even if he had a deep hatred, he shouldn't spend so much money just to let go.

"It should be impossible, Cao Li has been in Qianji City all the time, this is his first time in the imperial capital, how could he offend Chen Cao'an.

Although this Chen Cao'an is not an enlightened person, but he is so wise and close to demons that he can make no mistakes. Even the emperor calls him Mr. Xiao, so there must be some inside story that others don't know about."

"40…"

The two chased after each other, and the shouting did not stop until 40. All the people in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion went blank, and they didn't know what was going on.

The pattern that no one cared about was robbed of 40 gold, which is much more expensive than the image of the fairy toad.

40 gold is a huge wealth for any family, but Chen Cao'an, who was born in a poor family, has no psychological burden, and Cao Yong also does not change his expression.

"45…"

"55"

This price has far exceeded the original value of the pattern, even Zhang Tang reminded him in a low voice.

"The ten-year salary and expenses of the Five Marquis Administration are less than 55 yuan. Is a drawing worth it?"

"This pattern can fall into the hands of anyone, except Cao Li," Chen Cao'an said.

"Although the Cao family is an enlightened pottery maker, with this pattern, there will be an extra monster with strong fighting power, but it is not worth so much money."

Chen Cao'an did not answer, but continued to bid.

"The Cao family is a thousand-year-old family with countless personal belongings, but even His Majesty can't afford so much money in a short time, Mr. Xiao can't shout anymore," Zhang Tang reminded.

Chen Cao'an frowned slightly and stopped bidding, but at this time the price had reached 60 gold.

For the pattern that could be won for 60 gold, now it cost [-] gold, Cao Lili was not angry, and smiled at Chen Cao'an very politely.

"Assigned"

Even the painter Jiang Greed thought it was a bit of a joke, until Cao Lili put a 60 gold ticket in front of him, which can be cashed at any time in Daxuan Bank.

"Painter Jiang, then this drawing will belong to me."

"Please…."

Chen Cao'an watched Cao Li leave the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Mr. Xiao, are you sure that Cao Yong will definitely buy this pattern?" Zhang Tang thought that Chen Cao'an was trying to plot against Cao Yong.

"I just want to confirm one thing. It seems that the rumors are true." Chen Cao'an's brows were a little worried, "It's not a problem to put this pattern in anyone's hands, but in his hands, I'm afraid there will be troubles."

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone was cold.

"What I am most afraid of is future troubles. Since it is future troubles, it is not too late to act now."

Chen Cao'an knew what Chen Chen wanted to do. Normally, he would persuade him, but now he chose to acquiesce.

In this appraisement meeting, Daxuan's civil and military officials witnessed with their own eyes how a painter in the Xuanling Realm made millions of dollars overnight. This is a huge wealth that many aristocratic families may not be able to accumulate in ten years!
"Master Lu, I seem to know how to collect money now." Jiang Li was also a little proud of himself.

"Famous teachers produce outstanding apprentices, and a painting sold for 60 gold. The last person in the Xuanling Realm who did this happened to be your master," Lu Tanwei said.

"Master Lu?"

""The Picture of Soap Eagle on the Lonely Mountain" is a painting of spirits. At that time, Tongbao Pavilion offered 40 gold, which is 20 gold lower than yours."

What Lu Tanwei didn't say was that after Lu Daoxuan made the picture of the isolated mountain soap eagle, he did not start writing for a whole year of cultivation.

Jiang Greed took out [-] gold, and then came to Zhang Tang.

"Master Zhang, this is the remaining ransom."

Zhang Tang was also polite, and collected the hundred thousand gold tickets after inspection.

"Painter Jiang is really amazing, those people will be released tomorrow."
