Chapter 294 Flying Sand and Stone
Lord Bao suddenly visited the palace of Yanting. Zhao Xi, the king of Yanting, was really surprised. He quickly let all the visitors into the hall and sat down. After that, the servant offered tea. Zhao Xi ordered him to hold a banquet below to entertain Lord Bao. Lord Bao waved his hand, "Your Majesty, I'm not here for dinner this time, but to see you. I'm just talking to you. I'll leave in a minute?"
"So anxious, why is Lord Bao so anxious? Why don't you let me entertain you when you come to my house today? This doesn't make sense. In case someone asks and speaks ill of me, I can't afford it!"
"Hahaha, my lord, you filtered it. I didn't mean that. I came to see the prince just to communicate our feelings and talk. By the way, my lord, you should also know that I left the capital half a year ago and went to Cangzhou to investigate the case. In the past six months, I heard that the prince opened the mansion to me. There are also a lot of big and small things that have helped a lot. In fact, I really apologized this time, which actually shocked the prince!"
The four knights couldn't understand what Lord Bao was saying, and Zhao Xi couldn't figure out what he was talking about. What did Lord Bao say? When did I manage your Kaifeng Mansion? I don't dare to care. What's going on? After coming back from the outside, I was very tired, and then came to talk nonsense. Zhao Xi had some nonsense there. Bao Shirong saw it and said in his heart that it worked. The more you couldn't understand, the more my purpose was achieved. If you understand it, it would be bad. Bao Shirong continued, "So, prince, today This tea can't be drunk for nothing. I have to get something from you when I leave!"
Zhao Xile said, "Lord Bao, you are really joking. What do you want? Except for human life, you can choose anything in my house!"
"Okay, I just heard that the prince is painting in the back garden. I want this painting from the prince!"
"But this painting is not finished yet?"
"Ha, it doesn't matter. The rest of the paintings are completed by the old man. How about painting with the prince?"
Zhao Xi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since Lord Bao has such elegance, I will give the unfinished painting to Lord Bao!" After saying a few polite words, a strong wind suddenly blew. The wind in the blue sky and day, I didn't know how to come, blew the window...
But in an instant, it stopped, the wind was calm, and everything returned to normal. Zhao Xi frowned, "What is this? Why did the wind suddenly blow? It's so strange!"
Then, someone went down to get the painting. Everyone continued to chat in the room. Zhao Xi asked, "Lord Bao, you have been in the wind and rain in the past six months. It's really my Qingtian Boyuzhu. If it weren't for you, these rebellions are really hidden so deep that you can't be found at all, let alone Are you going to catch them all?"
Lord Bao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your words are heavy. This is what Weichen should do. Even if there is danger ahead, I will move forward and will never take a step back!"
Everyone was chatting, and the man who took the painting came in in a panic, "Your Majesty, Lord Bao, that painting..."
Zhao Xi was stunned, "What's wrong with that painting? It's hesitant. What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
"Yes, that painting disappeared!"
People are very surprised, they say, how is that possible? I was painting in the back garden just now, that is, it happened in an instant. How can the painting be gone? No one could figure it out. Zhao Xi was also very angry and slapped the table. "Who is so bold that he took my painting and sent it back quickly. That's all. If not, I will definitely plead him guilty!"
Zhao Xi was angry, and the princess's wife was still very calm. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't think this is a big deal. Is this painting? Sometimes the prince feels uncomfortable and satisfied with painting, so he throws away the painting. Maybe some people think that this painting is only half of it, but it is regarded as a painting that is not well drawn. , as a result, it was lost, and it's not impossible!"
"Well, what the lady said is reasonable. Come on, find all the people guarding the back garden here. I want to ask questions!"
After a while, the people guarding the back garden came over, and they were all frightened. Although Zhao Xi was usually very easy-going, after all, this is his house. Can he rely on others to eat without worrying at all? So they were all trembling and uneasy. They didn't know whether it was good or bad. Zhao Xi stood in the yard, and Lord Bao and other knights also came out. Looking behind, they also kept observing everyone and observing the words and colors to see if there was any special situation! Lord Bao was also puzzled. It was nothing more than an unfinished painting. Why are there still people who are very interested in this, or my move frightening snakes, or unintentional actions have some unexpected effects? I haven't thought about it. It's great. It will make the truth come out as soon as possible! Lord Bao was happy, and the others also had their own ideas, but no one spoke and looked at how Zhao Xi ended...
After Zhao Xi came to the yard, he looked at everyone and walked back and forth several times. Everyone lowered his head. Zhao Xi's face was a little unnatural. "You were all in the back garden just now. Did you all see me painting in the back garden?"
These people replied in a low voice, "Yes, we all saw the prince draw peony pictures there!"
"Okay, just admit it. Just now, due to a guest's visit, I stopped painting, put the painting in place and did not move it. Why did this painting disappear now? Don't be afraid. Tell me what you have seen and heard, or who took away the painting and hand it over quickly. I don't blame it. If you can't find any clues, if you can't hand over the paintings, you all look good!"
Look at these people, and I look at you. One of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Zhao Xi looked at him. He was a black-faced man. He knew him. He turned out to be the housekeeper of the house, a small housekeeper, who was in charge of the back garden. Zhao Xi looked at him and said, "What's going on?"
"Prince Qibing, at that time, you were painting attentively in the back garden. We were waiting beside us and did not dare to disturb the prince. Later, you and the princess's wife went to welcome the guests. We still waited in the back garden. After about half an hour, a gust of wind suddenly blew. We didn't know why the wind blew away. We quickly blindfolded our eyes. Suddenly, I remembered that the prince still had an unfinished painting and quickly ran towards the painting to protect the painting, but what I saw did shake by, but it was very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When I opened my eyes and came to the painting, That painting is no longer there, and the wind has stopped. It's really strange!"
