Lu Chen calmly distanced himself from Xia Gui, but he was blocked at a teleportation point in Huafang. Even if this place was the world in Xia Gui's paintings, it would not be easy for Xia Gui to leave Huafang if this point was controlled.
.
Xia Gui turned around and glanced at Yan Jiu'an. Seeing the confusion on Yan Jiu'an's face, he felt a little warm in his heart.
Yan Jiuan did not question him like Xu Xuanbao and Lu Chen.
"I completed the painting before August. At that time, I found Yan Jiu'an and discussed the details with him. Just as I discussed with you, I made some adjustments based on his suggestions."
Yan Jiuan nodded slightly: "That's true." After thinking about it, he added: "At this time, there are still two months until I am injured."
When Xu Xuanbao suspected Xia Gui, he was confused for a moment, but he soon realized that it was unlikely.
"But he went north to Yan State, and then went all the way south..."
Xu Xuanbao is not so easily convinced.
Two months... doesn't mean much. If the murderer is really Xia Gui, these two months of buffer time can be used to clear his name. If you think carefully, you can find that if Xia Gui went north
The timing is just right to hurt Lu Chen and then go back to Yan Jiu'an to do something dirty.
Su Wen found that Xia Gui's self-defense and Yan Jiu'an's explanation only deepened the suspicion in Xu Xuanbao and Lu Chen's hearts.
"Hey! Are you confused? How could I do such a thing? What good will it do to me?!"
Seeing the growing vigilance in the eyes of Xu Xuanbao and Lu Chen, Xia Gui became a little anxious.
He didn't expect that things would develop to this point. He obviously didn't do anything, but after hearing what Xu Xuanbao and Lu Chen said, he began to doubt whether he had really done these things.
As a transcendent person in the painter's path, he had no reason to do such a crazy thing.
Moreover, he still has to rely on the success of this flag pavilion mural painting event to complete the ceremony of promotion to Sequence Six. How can he hurt these extraordinary ones who have the opportunity to help him advance?
"Master Xia, I would like to ask, what is the ceremony for your promotion to Sequence Six? Is it convenient to disclose it?"
Su Wen pondered for a moment and finally asked this question.
The promotion ceremony is a core secret for extraordinary people.
If someone with evil intentions learns about the promotion ceremony, they can use the characteristics, requirements and taboos of the ceremony to deduce what abilities the extraordinary person gains during the promotion process, what price he pays, and what strengths and weaknesses he has.
If the person who has mastered the secret is an extraordinary magician, he can even master all the secrets of the promoted person based on this information.
For the extraordinary beings of various university sects, there is no need to worry too much if the enemy grasps their weaknesses. After all, the extraordinary power of their own sect is strong enough to defeat ten groups with one force and resist the enemy's targeted attacks.
However, people like Xia Gui are extraordinary and don't have many defensive methods. Once their weaknesses are discovered, they can be easily targeted.
Therefore, asking Xia Gui to reveal the secret of his promotion ceremony is extremely excessive.
"This... well, it shouldn't be a secret to you!"
Xia Gui gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, I am being promoted at this time. The ceremony is that the painting on the flag pavilion is successfully completed. The winner will leave a poem in my scroll, and the other participants can also write and leave marks, and I can complete it."
Ceremony... Think about it, the success of my promotion is closely related to you, how can I harm you?!"
Xia Gui was unwilling to reveal his secret.
But... if he didn't say anything at this moment, his promotion ceremony would definitely go wrong, and he might even be beaten to death by the three of them. Before the three of them took action, he felt that it was necessary to clarify the misunderstanding.
"...He didn't lie."
Xu Xuanbao hesitated for a moment, but his expression became even more confused.
He had his own means to check the authenticity of what Xia Gui said. At this time, he judged that what Xia Gui said was not a lie, but he fell into even greater confusion.
If the mastermind behind the scenes is not Xia Gui, then who could it be?
"No need to rush..."
Su Wen said cautiously at this time: "Since this person is deliberately trying to destroy the mural painting in the flag pavilion, when he realizes that things are not going as he wants, he will definitely jump out and continue to make trouble, and it will definitely be done very quickly, and he will not let the mural painting in the flag pavilion go smoothly.
Finish."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Especially Xia Gui, he said bitterly: "I won't let him get his way, this guy is deliberately trying to harm me!"
Yan Jiu'an and others felt that Su Wen's words made sense. However, Xia Gui's words did not make them feel too concerned.
They didn't quite agree with Xia Gui's words.
The mastermind behind the scenes is unlikely to embarrass one Xia Gui. It's more like taking the three of them into one pot and causing something bigger.
Otherwise... the mastermind behind the scenes could just directly attack Xia Gui during this period of time. There is no need to make such a big noise.
Dealing with a sequence five painter is much less risky than attacking three literary giants one after another.
However, when everyone is in Xia Gui's painting, he is equivalent to the "God" here. It is very difficult for anyone to cause trouble in the painting.
It is even more difficult to cause trouble outside the screen. Xia Gui is currently under the protection of the wall of culture and is in the process of promotion to Sequence Six. If he wants to break his wall of culture, unless a saint takes action.
Otherwise, Xia Gui would not dare to be so generous and draw thousands of people into the world of his paintings.
"Then wait and see how...the clown behind the scenes will jump out."
Xu Xuanbao suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "No matter what, I will never let this beast go!"
"That's right... This is a serious matter. If you three have no objections, I have to ask His Highness the Grand Sun to come over and inform him."
Lu Chen sighed.
"I also have to discuss it with Ling Yi." Xu Xuanbao said calmly.
"Young Master Ji is also here, so we should inform him of the matter and discuss countermeasures together." Yan Jiu'an also said.
The flag pavilions and wall paintings are all valued by their respective courts. While the princes and nobles will do so in their own names, the courts of the three countries will also formally appoint envoys to participate.
Yan State sent its grandson Yan Shiliu, Jing Chu was the ruling magistrate of the dynasty Yi Xiong Qiong, and Liang Dynasty sent its young minister Ji Fu, all of whom were high-ranking and powerful people. This is enough to prove that the three dynasties had great influence on this matter.
The flag pavilions of the Qing Dynasty paid great attention to the mural paintings.
Seeing that each other had the same purpose, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. Yan Jiu'an said to Xia Gui, "Then I will help you."
"No trouble." Xia Gui smiled bitterly, and quickly pulled the three of them into the huge boat with his thoughts.
When conveying the intentions of the three people, Xia Gui even explained in advance what happened here, including the three people's decisions, encounters, and the suspicion he received without reservation.
"Such a thing happened! How dare the thief be so arrogant, I, Yan Shiliu, cannot spare him!"
Yan Shiliu, Xiong Qiong and Ji Fu knew the inside story about Lu Chen and Xu Xuanbao's injuries. They immediately suspected that the strong men from the other two countries had tampered with them and started investigating. However, at the end of the investigation, they found nothing. It was discovered that the subject under investigation was also injured.
But it was finally at this time that we realized that the three of them had been injured by the same forbidden object, and even by the same murderer.
"Mr. Su!"
After Yan Shiliu expressed his position loudly, his eyes fell on Su Wen, full of enthusiasm: "I have long heard that Mr. Su has unparalleled poetic talent. When I saw him today, his reputation was well-deserved. I really admired him to the point of admiration."
Although Yan Shiliu is the grandson of the Yan Kingdom, he has the demeanor of a ruthless man in every gesture. He did not deliberately create this weird image or pretend to be disguised, but he was so straightforward that he liked to hang out in the market since he was a child. He had a fierce fight with the pig butchers and wine sellers. His extraordinary power was not inherited from the Yanhuang bloodline. Instead, he learned skills from a teacher in the market and awakened a mysterious extraordinary path. It seemed to be the Mohist school, but It is more like the path of the Zajia family. Under the influence of extraordinary power, his character has gone down the rough road forever, which makes the master of ceremonies and officials who teach etiquette in Yanting a big headache.
When he was still young, Yan Shiliu could still obey discipline and restrain himself. However, as he grew older, the old emperor had become senile and the prince supervised the country. As the emperor's grandson, Yan Shiliu's status became more stable and he acted unscrupulously. , no one dared to care, and it ended up like this.
"His Royal Highness Taisun has wrongly won the award. He has unparalleled poetic talent. Su will never dare to claim it. Not to mention the three great masters Xu, Yan and Lu, there are many literary giants in the surrounding painting boats, which are far superior." many."
"It's not good to be too modest. You should learn from that old man Qian Haoran." Shaofu Qing Jifu is a majestic middle-aged man with slightly white temples, giving people a sense of weather. Just mentioning Qian Haoran, he His voice was quite complicated. After a pause, he changed his words and said: "But we can't be as arrogant as him. After all, half of the Gonggun princes in Daliang City want to kill him, and the other half want to crush him. Gray."
"Master Ji's Mansion."
Su Wen nodded slightly and accepted it humbly. He was secretly frightened. He had never heard Qian Haoran mention that his popularity in Daliang City would be so bad!
What on earth did this teacher who got drunk after just half a ounce of wine do in Daliang City?
"Stop gossiping."
Xiong Qiong said calmly: "You can do whatever you plan to do. Since I'm here, I'm a clown. It's fine if I don't jump out and become a monster. If you dare to make trouble, see how I deal with him!"
The position of Ling Yi in Jingchu is equivalent to the head of the three provinces of the Liang Dynasty and the prime minister of Yan. However, his power is far higher than that of the ministers of the three provinces and the left and right prime ministers. After all, the emperor of Jingchu also has the head of the witches. Status, more often the focus is on controlling the extraordinary and controlling hundreds of tribes. The government affairs of the country are all implemented by Ling Yi. Most of the time, Ling Yi's government affairs in Jingchu are easier to handle than the emperor's. .
Now that Xiong Qiong has spoken, everyone is naturally relieved.
This not only means that Xiong Qiong will personally deal with the people behind the scenes, but the extraordinary powerful people he brings will also resolutely protect this event from being destroyed.
At this time, Ye Qiniang also sent out the statements from Xu Xuanbao and Lu Chen.
After a brief sigh of relief, everyone's mood quickly became high.
ps: This chapter is from last night. When I finished writing Chapter 310 and updated it yesterday, I didn’t notice that some black words were returned by the system. I only discovered it during the day today...
