Today, half of the city has gathered at this place.
This place is far away from the City Prince's Mansion - in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shan Hai reported all their situations when he came back. However, it would take seven days and seven nights at least to describe all the events that he could remember.
However, after he sorted those events in chronological order and according to their importance, it only took him three days to explain the important things clearly.
During those life-and-death moments, he told the truth truthfully, but in an understatement. Even so, Dai Luan's parents still showed unusual concern. They were very worried about her, and the more they were like this, the more difficult it was for Dai Luan to breathe.
The City Prince's Mansion is dangerous - they know it better than anyone else.
This is said to be an art exhibition, but in fact it is no different from a martial arts competition. However, there is no need to build an arena and engage in a big fight. You only need to display the paintings of the two people and let everyone vote. In March, the air is sweet, and people from all over the world come from all over the world.
Different levels of occupation
People from all walks of life have come here, ranging from officials and dignitaries to farmers planting rice. They have learned about today's news since the Chinese New Year. When she made an agreement with Lord Ruyue, Dai Luan wrote a letter to her family, and then
Kisaragi-kun also visited
Once, these things had been prepared for a long time. In order to prevent suspicious canvassing behavior, this exhibition was publicized to everyone, and everyone could sign up to see it. However, not everyone was lucky enough to come.
——The whole city is crowded into one place, isn't it going to be chaotic? To be fair, neither Ruyue Jun nor Cheng You know who is involved, and they are not allowed to enter the city gate for a month. They can only bring them with them on the day
The beauty picture was there. Neither of them had any objections.
There was originally a long stage for judging, but the people were worried that someone would bribe them privately, so they all clamored not to do it, so it was canceled and it was purely dependent on the public to vote. No matter you are a businessman or a craftsman, or from a poor family
Young boys or daughters of rich families, they all had to crowd together, one person, one vote. To this, the two of them did not raise any objection.
As the master of the princess, Shanhai should have been sitting on the judging table, but now he was under the high platform with everyone and could get a front position. Shi Wuqi took the initiative to go on patrol with the guards. After all,
Who knows what will happen at this time. If those guys who have been secretly plotting evil seize the opportunity, it will be hard to say.
The warm sun was in the sky, and noisy people were sitting on chairs, chattering away. Dai Luan, who was sitting high above, also felt bored. She was on pins and needles, twisting around like an earthworm in the sun. Her parents were also a little unable to sit still.
Lived.
Kisaragi-kun was a whole hour late.
Shan Hai glanced behind him. There were at least five thousand people present. After the singing, there would be four hours to escape, let alone the appreciation which would take an hour. By now, everyone should be counted.
, but Lord Ruyue hasn’t seen his shadow yet.
Cheng You still looks the same, at least his appearance has not changed at all. I don’t know how many years this old monster has lived. Standing on the stage, he looked calm and confident, but at this moment, he was also a little anxious. Some people commented
, Could it be that Lord Ruyue got scared and escaped before the battle? This statement was not taken seriously, especially Cheng You, who was a competitor, sneered at it.
The two pictures of beauties were hung on a prepared black wooden board, both covered with a layer of white cloth. All they had to do was pull out the two nails on them. They were not allowed to touch their paintings a day ago, so they hung them here.
The board is heavily guarded. However, no one has seen what the painting looks like. Only they know it.
Shan Hai raised his head to look at the sun, then turned to look at Miss Qi next to him. She was the only one who had been sitting here, motionless. She looked like a dummy no matter how she looked, but no one cared. She was still the same, receiving no treatment.
Abandoned command. The soul-returning fragrance is still on him. The master and the disciple are quite worried. What if something happens?
People who covet this thing are afraid of causing trouble. But he himself is no longer in such a hurry. He is very clear-headed and tells them that he will take Miss Qi back to Xuanshuang Town before using it. Firstly, he hopes that she can find it better.
Memories belonging to the past allow you to familiarize yourself with the environment faster; secondly... it allows the impermanence of the Six Paths to come back later to cause trouble.
Just like those studies in the Shadow Pavilion, spells that go against common sense will not cause trouble when they are first born. Only when this spell is activated, the master will send someone to come to the door.
Shi Wuqi's consideration is quite thorough, not to mention that he is willing to accompany Aluan to Dailuan City first, which is touching enough - after all, it is not easy for this kind of person to consider others first. Such deep feelings are worth it.
Acura.
It is now two quarters noon, and there is still no movement from Lord Ruyue.
Dai Luan sat uneasy and looked at Shan Hai frequently, but as a master, there was nothing he could do. Shan Hai heard the sound of cracking melon seeds in his ears, and he was very close. He turned his head and saw Shi Wu Qi's face, and was startled. He didn't know.
When he was sitting in Miss Qi's seat, she was standing aside. He frowned and asked symbolically:
"What did you find?"
"No, it's very safe." He ate another melon seed, "It has three layers inside and three layers outside. Even flies can't get in."
"Be careful. The enemy is lurking on your side."
"With the presence of the Six Paths of Impermanence, they would not dare to cause trouble in broad daylight."
"...But when will she come?"
"I don't know if you ask me." Shi Wuqi shrugged, "Just now, the city lord sent someone to check the guest room. I said, let us clean up such a remote room, it turns out that there are distinguished guests."
"Say less."
"I know, I know. Ah, by the way, give me your hand."
"What?"
Shan Hai didn't know why, so he stretched out his hand. Shi Wuqi closed his fist, released it, sprinkled a handful of melon seed peels, clapped his hands and walked away. This made Shan Hai restrain himself for a long time and did not smash them there and walked away.
On the back, it increases the trouble of sweeping away the underground people.
The sun is getting more and more scorching. It is the hottest in the middle of the year, not to mention that people are still in the lingering fear of winter, and they are not dressed lightly. Especially Dai Luan, who was dressed up and dressed in red as soon as she came back.
Green, wearing heavy jewelry that weighed several stones. Cheng You looked impatient. He turned around, saluted the three people above him, and said:
"Lord City Lord... look, is time a bit tight now? Cheng's time is quite ample, but he is just working hard for the people waiting here. The fields at home and the goods in the store are all idle.
It’s up to people. If we keep waiting like this, I’m afraid everyone will have a hard time.”
Dai Luan's father was a little embarrassed. The wife of the city lord was already weak and could not withstand such exertion. Dai Luan held up her face and rolled her eyes to the sky. When Cheng You saw the familiar princess, he did not
It means too much that he has lived for such a long time, so he may have been very early
He knew her identity before. Even so, he didn't raise any objection to the art exhibition held in Dailuan City. It seemed that he was very confident. As for Shi Wuqi... he thought it was the first time he saw him as You.
At this time, my gaze stopped for a while on the gauze on my eyes.
"In that case, let's lift the curtain." Dai Luan was a little angry, "Anyway, voting is everyone's business. It doesn't matter whether the person involved is here or not."
Her mother scolded her for being so disrespectful to her second master, but the city lord couldn't do anything about it. If we had to wait until dark and the votes were counted, everyone might as well stay here. At this time, Shi Wuqi suddenly ran from the side and arrived.
He whispered something in his ear, and he looked surprised. When he left, Dai Luan tugged at the hem of Wu Qi's clothes as if he was angry, and he smiled.
Cheng You was quite concerned about what he said.
A Luan heard it - Lord Ruyue was not in the room. They searched and found it everywhere. She didn't know where she went, and even Shi Wuqi couldn't detect her trace. Maybe she found the nearby spiritual vein and left.
Both Wu Qi and Dai Luan paid attention to Cheng You's face, and it seemed that he really didn't know anything about it.
"Kisaragi-kun has left."
The city lord suddenly announced without any worries, which surprised everyone. Could it be that he really had stage fright? They started talking about it again, and for a while, the guest seat was noisy like a honeycomb. Cheng You's face was so bad that he really looked like he had eaten it alive.
It seems that he is indeed unaware of it. Also, he has no reason to do anything. This kind of person, on the contrary, attaches great importance to fairness at this time. In this way, his potential victory can be considered valuable.
The people below started shouting, and the city lord slapped the chopping board, and the sound was as loud as a bell. Shi Wuqi immediately realized that Dai Luan's father was also a martial artist. He was a little surprised, because he didn't know how to do it when he first saw him.
They felt that he had any martial arts skills. In this way, the city prince's palace might be safer than they thought. People immediately became quiet and remained silent at the majesty of the lord of the city.
But he was also very decisive. He called his servants and asked them to remove Chengyou's cloth first. Dai Luan found that Chengyou was a little absent-minded and seemed to be still concerned about Ruyue Jun's absence. But when the people went to twist his painting
When he was picking up the nails, he moved his eyes away and showed a confident smile.
She knew this smile, and it made her very uneasy.
The servant was stunned the moment he took off the white cloth. He blocked the picture of the beauty so that others could not see anything. The people below poked their heads in and shouted at him to get out of the way. He staggered back a step, surprised.
He stretched out his fingers and said tremblingly:
"Yes, it's alive!"
Lifelike and lifelike, it probably refers to this kind of painter.
That is a stunning and beautiful woman, I am afraid she is not a fairy sister who has descended from the earth. Everyone thinks so, including Shanhai. But he feels vaguely strange - long hair and red lips, dressed up as a woman, it is the same. But
He just thought the painting was beautiful, and the people in it seemed alive, smiling at him and waving to him.
People turned from silence to whispers. Shanhai heard some different opinions: some said it was a blue dress, some said it was a white skirt; some said her red lips were slightly open and her smile was as bright as a flower, some said her expression was as cold and indifferent as snow. Even
Someone got into an argument and almost got into a fight. If the guards hadn't stopped them, they would have had a fight. Cheng You smiled coldly, as if he was sure of victory. This made Shan Hai feel deceitful, and even Dai Luan's eyes were confused.
Very weird.
"There is something wrong with the painting." Shi Wuqi stood behind him again at some point, "No...there is actually nothing wrong with the painting. The problem is the paint. Everyone can see the most beautiful woman in their own eyes."
"Indeed, I noticed it too." Shan Hai asked, "What did you see?"
"I thought it was Qi's portrait at first glance, and I was stunned for a while. But I soon discovered that... the painter was good, and the content was actually very ordinary, but it exuded an aura that was enough to charm people. Most likely, it was some kind of medicinal powder added to the paint. I
I once heard that women in the land of fireworks bought some kind of butterfly demon scale powder at a high price, mixed it with rouge, and used it to attract customers with every move."
"He still did something. But I don't know what the beauty picture of Lord Ruyue is like..."
Shi Wuqi couldn't answer. They stared at the other painting covered with white cloth and took a deep breath.
"Isn't this cheating?"
"It's hard to say..." Shanhai rubbed his temples, "After all, they are both painters and poison masters. Maybe Ruyue-kun also used the same method. Isn't this fair?"
Whether Kisaragi-kun is present or not does not affect everyone's choice. Originally there was a link where the two painters made introductions, but now it seems more fair to omit this step. Anyway, people are not blind, of course they have their own
Intend.
There are two kinds of wood chips in each person's hand. They are cork soaked in potion and can be bent without leaving traces. One is dotted with cinnabar, and the other is dotted with azurite, which respectively means love for Chengyou and Lord Ruyue.
Appreciation. They also prepared these props
Okay, no one can imitate or do anything about it. No matter what your status is, everyone, even the city lord, only represents one vote. This arrangement actually makes Cheng You feel at ease. On the day he received him, he also said,
I'm afraid what privileges those dignitaries have.
At this time, although he didn't think he was really 100% sure, his expression seemed relaxed. Dai Luan really hated him like this, and urged her father to hurry up and let people open Ruyue Jun's painting. The noisy voices of the crowd were lowered.
After a while, they were also quite concerned about what kind of beauty the female painter who was once rumored to be famous could create.
Thousands of expectant eyes were focused on the cloth. Cheng You pursed his lips slightly and clenched his fists.
