The fifth lady against the sky

Chapter 269 The Secret of Water Painting (2)
Seeing that Lan Ling had something to say, Feng Muxie asked, "Sister Lan, is the whereabouts of Wan Shuihua?"

Lan Ling nodded, took out a scroll from the box at the back, handed it to Feng Muxie and said, "Here, this is the Wanshui painting, but I'm not sure if it's the Wanshui painting you're looking for."

Feng Muxie opened the scroll, spread the painting on the table, observed carefully, and said, "Sister Lan, I have never seen what Wanshui painting looks like. However, this painting looks yellowish, it should be It has been a few years, and the left side of the painting is also inscribed with Wanshui painting. There is only one seal here, which is a strange pattern. Sister Lan, I should take it back and ask others. By the way, how did Sister Lan get this painting? .”

Lan Ling smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I'm from Night City, and you know that Night City is as rich as a country, and has all kinds of rare treasures. According to the elders of Night City, this painting is This is a city lord of Dark Night City who saved an old man back then, but the old man was poisoned by a poison that was difficult to cure. Before he died, he gave this painting to the then Lord of Dark Night City. At that time, he thought it was just an ordinary landscape painting and kept it It's in the warehouse. I sent a letter back last night, only to be found out and delivered overnight."

Feng Muxie didn't expect that Lan Ling was from the Dark Night City, and could command the elders of the Dark Night City. It seemed that Sister Lan's status in the Dark Night City was definitely not low.He laughed and said, "No wonder Sister Lan dare not be interested in so many treasures. No one in this world knows that the wealth of Dark Night City is enough to subvert a country. Knowing that Sister Lan has such a strong background, my sister is also at ease."

The two chatted for a while, and at noon, Feng Muxie and Lan Ling had dinner together and returned to the restaurant with Wan Shuihua.Lan Ling continued to walk north and back to Beihan, Feng Muxie set off to go south to Qilian Mountain, and the two parted.

Feng Muxie returned to the restaurant and quickly called an emergency meeting.

Feng Ruoli took a copper gong dug from no one knew where, beat it around the yard, and shouted: "Little aunt, the old man wants to give a lecture, and we gather in the living room at the time of half a cup of tea. Ling Chi executed."

"Xie'er, what's the matter, that little bastard Xiaoli is yelling in the yard." Xiahou Qianxiao walked in first and asked.

"Aiyou, Brother Xiao, you're the only one who talks too much, won't you know in a while?"

Then other people came over one after another.

Xiahou Qianmo's eagle eyes smiled, and said: "Xie'er, is there a treasure map?"

Feng Muxie gave Xiahou Qianmo an appreciative look, and praised without hesitation: "Brother Mo also knows me."

Xiahou Qianmo was consummated, her eagle eyes were narrowed into crescent moons, and she obediently sat on one side, waiting for her daughter-in-law to speak.

Feng Muxie looked around and saw that everyone was here, those who should have come, and those who should not have come, cleared her throat, and said solemnly: "Okay, everyone is here, The meeting begins. Xiaoli, present it."

Standing behind Feng Muxie, Feng Ruoli said respectfully, "Yes, little aunt." Then, holding the box in both hands, she walked up to the handsome men.

Feng Muxie signaled Feng Ruoli to open the box, Feng Ruoli opened the box carefully, and took out the painting scroll inside.

Feng Muxie continued: "The painting in Xiaoli's hand probably looks like the Wanshui painting with the treasure map hidden, but I'm not sure. Now, everyone, let's identify it. Whoever can identify whether it is the real Wanshui painting?" Water painting, one or two silver rewards."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, would you mind giving me a tael of silver?
Xiahou Qianxiao smiled and said: "Xie'er, are you a tael of silver? Who doesn't know that you are a little rich woman now, and you only give out a tael of silver. You are really stingy!"

Feng Muxie gave Xiahou Qianxiao a blank look, and said righteously: "Brother Xiao, what do you know, the most important thing is to participate, people with noble character don't care about how much money is rewarded."

Xiahou Qianxiao touched his nose boredly, which meant that he was not of a noble character.

Feng Muxie opened the scroll and presented the painting in front of everyone.It is very likely that there is a treasure map hidden in this painting. Even if it is not for the small silver reward, each of them carefully observes this painting.

There are landscapes painted on the screen, and the three characters Wanshui Hua are inscribed on the right side. There is only a simple seal, and the rest is nothing special.Beitang Yexing also checked to see if there was a vacuum inside the scroll.

After a long time, everyone shook their heads and went back to their chairs. Only Young Master Xuan was carefully observing the seal.

Seeing Young Master Xuan's serious look, Beitang Yexing asked doubtfully, "Ah Xuan, did you discover something?"

Xuan Shao nodded when he heard the words, and said: "It should be true. I have seen a winter plum winter snow picture of the last monarch of the prosperous dynasty, Emperor Yun. The handwriting and painting style on that picture are similar to this painting. Very similar, the key is this seal, which has three strange characters on it, but these characters are indeed exclusive to the Shengshi Dynasty. They were invented by the ancestors of the Shengshi Dynasty, because the territory of the Shengshi Dynasty became larger and larger later. The residents of other tribes also became the subjects of the prosperous dynasty. At that time, the monarch of the prosperous dynasty invented the current characters in order to rule the people better. It is not surprising that Emperor Yun used these three characters, which were originally his ancestors The text that has been used."

At this moment, Feng Muxie concluded that this is the real map of Wanshui, but she doesn't know where the treasure map is hidden in the painting of Wanshui. Could it be that the landscape on it is the place where the treasure is hidden? That would be too unreliable , but at least know that this is a real Wanshui painting, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan is knowledgeable and talented, Xie'er admires it, and Xiao Li appreciates it."

Reluctantly, Feng Ruoli took out a tael of silver from her purse and threw it to Xuan Shao.Young Master Xuan generously stuffed this tael of silver into his bosom, not for anything else but because it was her reward.

On the second day, everyone embarked on a journey to continue their journey south.

The blue sky, in late autumn, is spotless and crystal clear.The narrow path twists and turns, and the number of yellow leaves falling on the side of the road, the beautiful and quiet picture is interpreted as a picture of fallen leaves in late autumn.

Several carriages were driving leisurely on the path, and the sound of the horseshoes kicking along with the sound of the wheels rolling over was clearly visible.Beitang Yexing's bodyguards were all hidden in the dark, only Qingfeng and seven or eight bodyguards followed on horseback, in order to lower the prime minister's vigilance and lure him into the bait.
