Daqin: Be the King of Han at the Beginning

"Is there something unexpected...?"

Although Concubine Yan concealed it well, with his eyesight, it was not difficult to detect that flashing expression.

But at this time, Gu Lian interrupted his doubts.

"Third brother, look, does the master I drew look like him?"

Red Lotus looked at Han Li with hope in her eyes, as if she wanted him to praise her.

"Uh, this painting... it's really just tolerable."

Han Li squeezed his chin lightly, looked at the painting on the stone table at the moment, and commented.

I saw a dignified and virtuous figure being drawn on the paper-like silk cloth in front of me. Although it didn't draw too much essence, it was indeed quite similar to Concubine Yan who was beside her.

It can be seen at a glance that the painting is Concubine Yan.

It's just a comparison with the real person in front of him, and it's still a little bit worse, and it lacks a bit of charm and beauty.

"This is something I drew with great difficulty, and the master said it was okay. Third brother, you only said it was just barely enough..."

Being judged by Han Li like this, Red Lotus couldn't help but pouted and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Have you ever seen a painting that is better than mine?"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

As soon as her words came out, Han Li couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment.

A subtle look flashed in Concubine Yan's eyes, and she glanced at Han Li unnaturally.

Because she can be sure that this king has indeed seen a better painting than Princess Red Lotus, and it should even be painted by this guy himself...!

Chapter [-] Uncover the window paper, and the military salaries disappear!

Han Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about Red Lotus' complaining with a little dissatisfaction.

Because he suddenly remembered that the photo album of Concubine Yan that he had drawn not long ago contained a lot of wonderful brushstrokes.

It's just that although this Concubine Yan's photo album is not a subtle thing, it's just some wonderful brushwork with excellent painting skills, but I can't say why there is such a thing.

He touched his nose and said, "I've never seen a better painting than yours, but your painting is obviously missing some of the temperament and charm of Lady Feiyan."

"Do you think it's a little better after changing a few strokes like this?"

As Han Li said, he picked up the red lotus brush that he put aside, and added a few strokes on top of the paper-like silk. However, a few simple strokes added two more charms to the painting of Concubine Yan. .

Although he is not very proficient in painting skills, but after seeing those wonderful brushstrokes, with his Wan Dao Sen Luo's ability to embrace all things, he can easily find out which part of the painting of Red Lotus is lacking in comparison. Something, a little to make up.

Although it was only a little bit more charismatic, it also surprised Red Lotus, and looked at him with some admiration.

"Wow, third brother, I didn't expect your painting skills to be so superb!"

Seeing this painting as well, Concubine Yan's eyes flashed a hint of embarrassment, and she is almost certain now.

A few hours ago, when I learned that Princess Red Lotus went to the palace but was stopped by the Imperial Army, I took the opportunity to sneak into the king’s palace. I happened to see many wonderful brushstrokes, which must be drawn by this guy!

Although it looks a little rough, the painting technique is obviously almost the same.

This made Concubine Yan a little embarrassed, but the look she looked at Han Li couldn't help but be a little more complicated.

"This guy, could it be true to himself..."

Han Li was naturally aware of Concubine Yan's more obvious and somewhat unnatural expression.

After being puzzled, he contacted Miaobi Danqing in front of him, and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his heart, resulting in a strange guess.

"Could it be that Concubine Yan guessed that she might have gone out while she was not in the Han Palace, and took the opportunity to sneak into her own bedroom, trying to find the secrets related to Canglong Qisu..."

He naturally knew that there was nothing related to Canglong Qisu in his bedroom, and there was only a stack of danqing that was just drawn by lottery not long ago.

I have to say, this was a clever misunderstanding.

However, this misunderstanding caused Han Li to feel a little pain in the ass.

Although it doesn't seem like a bad thing...

On the contrary, a layer of window paper is missing, and more snacks are tacitly acknowledged.

It's just that, the mysterious image of his dignified King Han in Concubine Yan's heart is about to change.

So much so that Han Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry for the look of admiration for Red Lotus.

In fact, it was exactly as he had guessed.

At this time, Concubine Yan's feeling of his original mysterious fear in his heart was indeed a little less because of this, but it also lost a little bit of caution and inauthenticity.

And more, it is a touch of complexity...

Because, although if her guess is true, then as long as she becomes Princess Han, she should have a very good chance to extract some secrets of Canglong Qisu.

But Concubine Yan was unwilling to do so.

She has no interest in doing anything other than such a cheap method that costs so much.

There is still a faint trace of it, she just realized it herself, and she doesn't want to resist this guy's deceit...

Although tiny, it's clearly not a good sign.

......

Han Li didn't know about Concubine Yan's complicated emotions.

After he promised Red Lotus to come and teach me how to draw more when he was free, he stayed for a while before returning to his palace of the King of Han.

Early the next morning, the news of the military salaries accident spread to the palace as expected.

"Your Majesty! Anping Jun and Longquan Jun reported that the [-] gold soldiers they escorted were robbed by ghost soldiers in the rain when they traveled to the Broken Soul Valley, which is dozens of miles away in Xinzheng! The [-] taels The gold actually disappeared out of thin air under the watchful eyes of the two thousand escorting soldiers!"

In the early morning, a commander of the Imperial Guard quickly ran into the hall and knelt down towards Han Li.

"what?!"

As soon as the news came out, several ministers in the hall, including Zhang Kaidi, were shocked and looked at the commander of the forbidden army in disbelief.

Ji Wuye, who was standing on the right, had a smug smile on his face, "Hmph, the news of this general is finally here!"

Then he glanced at Han Li, wanting to wait for his face to turn ugly...

Chapter [-] Who is the prey, do you understand!

As a result, Ji Wuye was shocked to find that the expression on Han Li's face did not change much, but sat there quietly with a playful look in his eyes.

He ignored the whispers of many ministers in the hall.

On the contrary, the old Huanhai horse has changed his face, and his beard is trembling.

"This child Han Li's qi-raising skills are so good? Even the loss of a hundred thousand taels of gold has not changed at all!"

Ji Wuye frowned and glanced at Bai Yifei. He couldn't help standing out at the moment, and bowed his hands to Han Li and said: "Your Majesty, the [-] taels of gold army pay is very important. If it is really lost, I am afraid that the treasury has already If there is not enough money to allocate military salaries again, then the frontier army will inevitably be in chaos."

"My minister urges you to put Anping-Jun and Longquan-Jun into prison temporarily, and send someone to strictly investigate the authenticity of the ghost soldiers borrowing the way!"

As soon as Ji Wuye's words came out, many of the ministers who were whispering in the hall suddenly became even more shocked, and they became completely confused.

There is not enough money in the treasury to be able to allocate military salaries again? !

On the other hand, Zhang Kaidi's face turned even paler as he looked at Han Li.

Obviously, Ji Wuye deliberately told this matter, this is to coerce many ministers in the court, to put pressure on the king, and let him want to delay the time, it must be resolved as soon as possible!

It is not difficult to imagine that in this battle, if Han Li fails, he will have to rely on Ji Wuye's nightfall.

Then it is very likely that according to the king's intentions, he has recently eliminated most of the prime ministers in Xinzheng who had joined the forces of the General's Mansion, as the victim that Ji Wuye asked for!

He was appointed as the chief officer to thoroughly investigate the case in a short period of time. If he couldn't finish it, he would resign, or even... his life would be at risk!

Just when Ji Wuye was complacent and worried, he suddenly saw that Han Li finally spoke with a vague expression on his face.

"Oh? Could it be that General Ji also thinks that there may be something strange about this ghost soldier's borrowing?"

Han Li looked at Ji Wuye with a sigh of relief, and asked with a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth.

"this...!"

Seeing Han Li's expression that seemed to be hiding something, Ji Wuye couldn't help but startled, and even Bai Yifei frowned in secret.

What the hell is this Han Li kid doing? !

Shouldn't he stare at himself with gnashing teeth, guess what he did, after a struggling search, and finally compromise with himself?

Ji Wuye kept asking himself anxiously in his heart, and then cupped his hands with calm eyes: "Reporting to the king, the ghost soldier is a bit strange after all. A hoax."

"If the king can send someone to find out whether this is a scam in a short period of time and find the evidence, then he will be able to recover the military salary of [-] taels of gold!"

When talking about the words "short time" and "find evidence", Ji Wuye deliberately increased his tone.

Obviously, he was clearly telling Han Li that it was his hands and feet, but how could he handle him?

Unless Han Li can find evidence in a short period of time, otherwise, he can only ask for help!

If you want to directly use the king's power to oppress people, use the strength of the general's mansion to hold a heavy army, and the fish will die and the net will be broken, and there will be Qin Chu and tigers and wolves outside, which will not benefit anyone!

Han Li naturally heard the meaning of Ji Wuye's words.

This made the teasing at the corner of his mouth even more.

"General Ji's words are indeed true, and the few people also think that this ghost soldier's way of saying it is extremely strange, and it happened that I knew a thing called water to eliminate gold. The ghost soldiers described by the two when they came back said it through the way..."

"It's quite in line!"

Han Li looked at Ji Wuye word by word and said, the teasing color in his eyes became more intense.

As soon as the three words of water and gold came out in his words, Ji Wuye's face changed suddenly, and he slowly clenched his fists in shock, and there was already a very bad premonition.

Even Bai Yifei, who had always been calm, blinked and looked at Han Li.

"Could it be...!"

Soon, this is coming.

"What's even more coincidental is that the confidantes around the widow just happened to see two figures outside the palace yesterday with strange whereabouts, heading towards the suburbs outside Xinzheng City, followed by a group of people escorting a lot of wooden boxes. "

Han Li's eyes flashed with a smile as he looked at Ji Wuye.

As if he had just noticed it, he frowned and said, "Now it seems that it is someone who is young and has the audacity to relinquish the [-] taels of gold army salaries in advance, and that group of people escorted them. Maybe it's military pay!"

As soon as his words came out, Ji Wuye's complexion suddenly changed greatly, as if struck by lightning, Han Mao stood upright on the spot.

There is only one thought left in my mind, and it's a trick!
