Li Shabai's words gave Xu Zhiqiong a new definition of the breadth and depth of his best friends.
Who is this best friend?
Could it be Hong Juncheng?
Xu Zhiqiong's heart tightened, but after thinking for a moment, he rejected his speculation.
First of all, as the first spring painting master in history, Li Shabai's orientation is obviously normal, and it is unlikely that he and Hong Juncheng will sleep in the same bed.
Secondly, he and Hong Juncheng have completely different positions. Just from Li Shabai's dislike of Qian Chengguo, we can see that it is impossible for the two to marry Jinlan.
This close friend is someone else.
"Can you reveal the name of this dear friend?"
"Name..." Li Shabai blinked and said, "Two days ago, when I met her, I wanted to ask about this. I really forgot what her name was.
But after so many lingering moments between the sheets, if you can’t even remember your name, wouldn’t you become that heartless person?”
We just met two days ago...
"Is this close friend a woman?" Xu Zhiqiong asked tentatively.
This is the General Shengwei of that year, Liang Zhenrui.
Li Shabai replied firmly: "When she admitted that she was a girl, I decided that she was a woman, no matter how the world viewed her."
Li Shabai shook his head: "When we first met, he was still in the mortal world."
He seemed to see the handsome and bright general of the past again, riding a war horse, carrying a long gun, and fighting in front of the formation with the soldiers. The sound of hoofbeats, shouts, and the sound of war drums lingered in his ears.
Is it the Canrou Constellation?
Li Shabai was still trying to remember, and the flying ink beads continued to outline a magnificent picture on the wall.
This incident attracted Xu Zhiqiong's attention.
How could Xu Zhiqiong think of the name Liang Zhenrui?
Quanxiang!
This person should be Canrou Xingxu.
Liang Zhenrui's facial features are a little blurry, which means that Li Shabai's memory is also a little blurry.
Li Shabai and Can Rouxing met on the battlefield.
Li Shabai shook his head and said: "There are some things that I can't remember, just like I forgot her name.
There are some things that I can remember, but I can't tell you about them."
Li Shabai was still muttering to himself: "It is true that someone called me Painting General. That person is..."
From this point of view, Canrouxing's time away from the mortal world was not long, at least not longer than Li Shabai's life.
"Painter Li, when you met that close friend, was she already a star official?"
According to some historical records, the history of eunuchs can be traced back to the beginning of the creation of the world. This is obviously a fallacy.
From the name alone, Xu Zhiqiong first thought of Li Shabai.
From the conversation just now, it turned out that Li Shabai had indeed been on the battlefield.
This close friend is obviously not Hong Juncheng.
Li Shabai rubbed his forehead, waved his hands and said, "Stop talking about my best friend."
"Painting general?"
Rui!
This word touched Li Shabai's heart again.
The Battle of Quanxiang!
Leung Chun-sui!
These three words flashed in Li Shabai's mind, and more memories were touched.
Li Shabai still shook his head: "Canrou Xingxiu calls me a beast."
A huge scroll slowly unfolded from the corner and gradually covered the entire wall of the studio.
Li Shabai's cheek twitched.
As a result, Liang Jixiong insisted that there was no "fourth brother".
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "This close friend of the painter has given me a lot of help in Qiancheng Kingdom. I just want to know more about her."
What is the reason and why does Li Shabai avoid talking about this past?
He doesn't want others to know that he was a general in the previous dynasty?
This is not in line with Li Shabai's temperament.
General Shengwei!
"It's not him, it's not him..." Li Shabai shook his head frequently, and a scroll appeared on the north wall.
"Master Li, there are no six ears here. Xu just wants to know one thing. Is there a painting general in the Daqian army?"
He had seen this state before in Liang Zhenjie.
Li Shabai was in a good mood today. He ordered two cups of tea and pushed one cup to Xu Zhiqiong: "Why do you want to ask about this dear friend? Is it just for tea art?"
If Huazhou is replaced by Quanxiang, and the third key word is matched, this history is almost exactly the same as the record in "The Record of Nu Zu".
Will it be a battle in Quanxiang?
Xu Zhiqiong said a name: "Is his name Liang Zhenrui?"
When Liang Yuyao was struck by the orifice-sealing technique, Li Shabai failed several times to resolve it. Canrou Xingxu came to help Liang Yuyao and opened her heart orifice, saving her life.
Is it Ye Ansheng?
Ye Ansheng interfered with Li Shabai's memory, but Li Shabai's cultivation was too high and he soon noticed it and recovered his memory.
Li Shabai directly admitted: "I am the painter. I am a craftsman who paints. At that time, the world called me a painter."
On the west and east walls of the studio, in the center of the painting is a frail man, standing alone in the cold wind.
"Is he the king of Qian Kingdom?"
Li Shabai nodded and said: "There was a fierce battle in Quanxiang, a fierce battle between Daxuan and Daqian. Daxuan had a strong general, known as General Shengwei. His name was..."
Li Shabai shook his head and said: "Liang Zhenrui calls me his fateful enemy."
If there was really a battle in Quanxiang, it would prove that during the period when Daxuan and Daqian were fighting for hegemony, Canrou Xingxiu had not yet left the mortal world.
Rui is Leung Chun-sui.
Li Shabai rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said two words: "King Rui!"
Li Shabai didn't want to hide his identity as a former general, he really couldn't remember it.
But under Xu Zhiqing's tortuous exploration, Li Shabai seemed to have revealed the original fierce battle again.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Is that person Liang Zhenrui?"
Xu Zhiqiong was a little worried. If he was hit by Li Shabai's ink, it would cause unimaginable harm.
Xu Zhiqiong noticed that something was wrong with Li Shabai's situation.
"I can't remember the exact year. He and I met on the battlefield. We were in a life-or-death situation.
As for how the fight was resolved, I can’t remember clearly, and I don’t even remember why I went to the battlefield.”
Just now we talked about meeting on the battlefield, and scenes on the battlefield kept flashing before Li Shabai's eyes.
Xu Zhiqiong didn't believe it, so he pestered Liang Jixiong and went through all the elders until he found the first generation of Shengwei elders.
"When did the painter meet this close friend?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "So Quanxiang is Huazhou?"
It's just that he is reluctant to mention this battle.
beasts...
There is only one person who has mastered the special tea art, whose gender is controversial, and who has close contacts with Li Shabai.
Among the thousands of troops on the east wall, a sturdy general with dark skin, wearing heavy armor, holding a long sword, riding a war horse, stood in the center of the army, with a flag behind him that read " The two words "Shengwei".
Liang Zhenrui defeated the king of Qian State three times in Huazhou in a row. He was an invincible presence on the battlefield, but he was defeated by a painting general.
"Is it Canrou Xingxiu?"
Some memories were brought back.
On the east wall of the studio, opposite to the man, there are many banners and thousands of troops.
Xu Zhiqiong pursed his lips, and looking at Li Shabai's expression as he tried to remember, he confirmed his previous speculation.
Xu Zhiqiong looked around and gradually saw the scene of the Battle of Quanxiang.
At first, Xu Zhiqiong was sure that Hong Juncheng had a domineering and extremely high level of cultivation. The first thing he suspected was that an elder had escaped from Canglong Palace and jokingly called him "Fourth Brother".
Xu Zhiqiong confirmed the identity of this person!
"His name is Rui, right?"
Xu Zhiqiong knew that Li Shabai and Canrou Xingxiu had a close relationship, but he never expected that they had been brothers and lovers.
"It's him..." Li Shabai suddenly raised his head, "Confucian star."
On Liang Zhenrui's left and right, there was a general with a handsome face, one holding a long sword and the other holding a spear.
These two generals are the Hussars General and the Chariot General, which are exactly the same as the descriptions in "The Record of Nuzu"!
"They called me Painter? Not them..."
Painter!
He remembered General Shengwei's other identity.
Li Shabai suddenly raised his head and said: "The water in Quanxiang is very slippery."
This was expected by Xu Zhiqiong. With Li Shabai's character, he would never reveal the secrets of his best friend to others.
"Painting General!" Li Shabai repeated again.
This comes from what Liang Jixiong said.
What have you done to the Canrou Constellation?
Judging from this sentence alone, one thing is certain, Canrou Xingxu and Liang Zhenrui are definitely not the same person.
Li Shabai was an open-minded person. He had always supported He Fang in becoming emperor, and even made a ten-year agreement with Emperor Changle. These things were done openly and he never thought of hiding them.
He didn't want to mention Canrou Xingxue again, so Xu Zhiqiong took the opportunity to change the topic: "Has the painter ever heard of Quanxiang?"
Li Shabai murmured to himself: "Hussar, chariot..."
If Li Shabai refused to answer the question directly, he could only test it in a roundabout way.
Someone has interfered with his memory.
And Canrou Xingxiu is the ancestor of the eunuch, which proves that the history of the eunuch itself is not that long.
These two words, like a switch, completely detonated Li Shabai's memory.
This first-generation Shengwei elder was trapped in a tight siege during the Battle of Huazhou, and eventually died of exhaustion of energy. He was Liang Zhenrui.
One must be very careful when talking to Li Shabai. No one can force him to talk about things he doesn't want to mention.
Even though they had slept together in the same bed, Li Shabai still couldn't remember the name of Canrou Xingxu.
Li Shabai still shook his head: "Qianjun calls me the savior humerus."
A breeze blew, and Li Shabai's hair floated.
The flying ink beads moved quickly on the scroll and soon formed a picture scroll.
"Painter Li, would you like to talk about your past with this close friend?"
A vague figure, wearing a long gown, stood in the sand with his hands folded, seemingly watching the battle with cold eyes.
Rui and exhaustion, two keywords matching each other.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled.
The ink in the inkstone turned into little ink beads, flying into the air little by little, hovering in the studio.
Xu Zhiqiong respected Li Shabai's character very much and always felt that he should not be so scumbag.
Xu Zhiqiong blinked, there was a misunderstanding here: "It's not the craftsman who painted, but the general who painted."
With his cultivation and strength, it was a matter of course that he served as a general in the previous dynasty, so this was not worth hiding.
The exhaustion of Qi is almost consistent with the exhaustion recorded in the Nu Zulu.
"Painter Li, if you can't remember it, there's no need to think about it."
These two words touched Li Shabai's heart.
Perhaps Canrouxing's status at the time was too high, which affected Li Shabai's memory and deliberately erased his name.
Confucian star!
The ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism!
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a long time.
"You can't be called a Confucian star yet, he is still in the mortal world." Li Shabai still whispered to himself, and Xu Zhiqiong became more and more astonished.
Suddenly, Li Shabai slowly raised his head, with a smile on his face, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Marquis Yun, are we considered close friends?"
