Although Xiao Buyi wanted to help Shi Dana find his biological father, after searching for him for a few days, he found that the complexity of things was beyond his imagination.

With Xiao Buyi's current power in Dongdu, it would be no problem to find someone, even if he found an ant. However, after several days of searching, there was no news.

The man in the portrait looks ordinary and ordinary, and is the kind that cannot be found in the crowd. However, his eyes are bright and his manners are graceful, making people feel that he is not an ordinary person.

The painters Xiao Buyi invited in Dongdu were naturally outstanding, but he could see this portrait that he felt ashamed. Although they could depict the shape of the portrait, they still could not depict the charm of the portrait.

Xiao Buyi is now looking at the painting drawn by Shi Danai's father, frowning, deducing the origin of this person. Now he can barely confirm that this person has a noble identity and aloof personality. This is really a strange feeling. The painters are discussing that the strokes of this person are unconventional and elegant, but he first feels the character of the person who paints.

Perhaps this is like a mountain, or perhaps it is because his perspective is indeed different from the painter.

What did such a arrogant person do when he went to the Tie Khan Kingdom? At that time, Emperor Wen was there, and Yang Guang had not ascended the throne. This man floated away after the spring breeze in the Western Regions, but he ended up having a son who had a strong martial arts and a cowardly personality. This person should be very literary...

As he was pondering, footsteps came from outside the hall. Xiao Buyi turned his head and looked over. Seeing Shi Danai and Lu Laosan had turned around. Just seeing the faces of the two, Xiao Buyi knew that things were still unpredictable and comforted him: "Lady, isn't that Fu Pingju suitable?"

Many people with the surname Fu from Dongdu have the same surname. In the past few days, Xiao Buyi has found three Fu Pingjus, but the first two are both of them are not right. This time, Lu Laosan took Shi Dana to find the third person.

Lu Laosan smiled bitterly and said, "That man has never left Henan in his life. How can he go to the Western Regions?"

Xiao Buyi was frustrated when he saw Shi Dana and smiled and said, "Danna, don't be anxious. The hard work will last forever. As long as you persist, there will definitely be a result."

Although Shi Danai was depressed, he was grateful, "General Xiao. I know you are busy with official duties, but you are so hardworking for me. Daina doesn't know how to repay you." He has spoken a lot in the past few days, and although he still has a cowardly personality, his words have become much smoother.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "The person who does good deeds is already at ease, so why should he repay him?" He turned his head and looked out of the hall. When he saw Liao Kai, the general, walked in, followed by someone, and said, "What are the gains of Liao Dajiang?" Xiao Buyi had already met Liao Kai when he first entered the Eastern Capital. At that time, Liao Kai was the general, and Xiao Buyi was the Grand servant Shaoqing. The two invented the woodblock printing together with Yu Shinan, and they had a good relationship. Later, Xiao Buyi rose to prominence. After several times of entering and leaving the Eastern Capital, he had fewer contacts with Liao Kai, but his friendship was still there. Relatively speaking, Xiao Buyi's origin determined his approachableness. Although he had close contact with the court officials, he had a more intimate attitude towards these middle and lower classes, both craftsmen and soldiers.

Liao Kai was as plain and steady as ever, and pointed at a person behind him and said, "General Xiao, this is the person you need. This person is the young supervisor Yan Lide, who is good at craftsmanship, has many ingenuity and is skilled in seal script..." It turned out that Xiao Buyi not only found people and soldiers to divide the line. Even if the source of this painting is within his considerations, according to his ideas, the people who can make this painting are definitely not an unknown person. Therefore, he asked Liao Kai to help him find someone with superb painting skills to find another way.

The man behind Liao Kai was quite demeanor and was middle-aged. When he heard Liao Kai's introduction, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Liao is really too much. I'm a mess but not very good at everything. If you want to be honest, you're far from you."

In the fifth magistrates of the Nine Temples of the Great Sui Dynasty, the skills introduced by Liao Kai are certainly not separated from the job of being the chief supervisor. Xiao Buyi heard that Yan Lide was the young supervisor and knew that he was the subordinate of the great craftsman Liao Kai, and smiled and said, "It is not difficult to ask Liao Dajiang to do things, but it is not easy to ask him to lie. If he can get his praise, he must have real talent and knowledge."

As soon as he said that, Liao Kai and Yan Lide were quite comfortable. Liao Kai smiled and said, "Lide may be the place next to me, but when it comes to painting, you can't be humble anymore, right?"

Yan Lide smiled slightly, looking quite conceited.

Liao Kai introduced: "General Xiao has a profound knowledge of morality and has learned from his father in painting. He wants to be a master of the palace supervisor Yan and his master to be both civil and military, and to be well-educated and educated. If you are a master of virtue, you may be able to see the clues from this painting. In fact, not only morality is established, but his younger brother has superb skills. But I think it is enough to have morality right now."

Xiao Buyi didn't know which Yan Lide's father was, so he took Yan Lide to the table first. Most people who wanted to be proud had the capital to be proud. Yan Lide was originally conceited, but his eyes fell on the portrait and suddenly he was stunned. He exclaimed again and reached out to touch the painting, but his hand stopped again in the air.

Xiao Buyi had long lost interest in portraits, but only paid attention to Yan Lide's expression. He found that his expression was excited, confused, surprised and admired, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Liao Kai coughed lightly, "Li De, I wonder what you think of this painting?"

Yan Lide finally came to his senses, "General Xiao, this is a master."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "What else?"

Yan Lide blushed and said, "Drawings emphasize the use of brushes, and ink. When using brushes, the light force will be floating, and when using heavy force will be bulls..."

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly and thought to me what the purpose of telling me about these things. What I asked for was not the exquisiteness of the painting, but he wanted to know the painter, but he was used to listening, but he did not interrupt. Liao Kai saw Xiao Buyi's thoughts and coughing, "Li De, General Xiao is busy with affairs, so we sometimes have to talk short. Besides, General Xiao only wants to know who the painter is."

Yan Lide hesitated for a moment, "Actually, what I said was not nonsense. Ordinary painters only seek to draw figures, and strive to draw people and objects in a vivid way. They think they have reached the highest level, but they do not know that masters paint, not based on figures, but mainly use the meaning as a general. If a painter draws a portrait, it is at most similar. But if a master draws it, it should be able to draw the ambitions, temperament and character in his heart, which is the best. The master craftsman, like architecture, when ordinary people arrive in Dongdu, they only know that Dongdu is magnificent. It makes people suddenly rise to awe, but few people know that the great craftsman Yuwen Kai used the concept of unity between man and nature, and lure the Luo River to penetrate the capital. To imitate the heavenly Han, cross the bridge south, and use the law to drive the cow. But if you understand the unique craftsman Yuwen's ingenuity, you can naturally see a deeper truth."

When Liao Kai heard him use Yuwen Kai as an example, he finally nodded, "Are you saying that this painting contains extremely clever principles?"

Yan Lide stared at the painting and said, "I only know that the person in the portrait contains extremely long ambitions. This is difficult to explain, but it is the feeling in my heart. This person's painting can actually communicate with me in this way, which is really beyond my reach." Xiao Buyi nodded secretly, thinking that Yan Lide was not aimless, and he also had this strange feeling.

Liao Kai asked directly, "Well, Lide, know who can draw such a portrait?"

Yan Lide smiled bitterly, "At least I can't draw it."

Liao Kai shook his head and thought to himself that you had been talking for a long time, but it turned out to be nonsense. Yan Lide suddenly thought of something, "Although I can't draw it, as far as I know, at least two people can draw it."

Xiao Buyi finally felt energetic, "Which two?"

"One is my father." Yan Lide hesitated.

Xiao Buyi looked at Yan Lide and Shi Danai, thinking that he would not know how to look at the face. But he also felt that the two of them had absolutely no blood relationship. He looked at Liao Kai again. Liao Kai understood Xiao Buyi's meaning and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yan passed away a few years ago. When he led people to pursue Hu Sizheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and later on his way back... he fell ill and died, which is really regrettable."

Yan Lide also showed a sad expression on his face, but he said softly: "As far as I know, there is one more person who can draw this painting. He is the Chaosan doctor Zhan Ziqian, but Lord Zhan died of illness ten years ago. Later generations have left Dongdu, and no one knows the news until now."

Xiao Buyi was slightly disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "But I'll ask more, is the person in this painting like Lord Zhan Ziqian?" He didn't ask Yan's father, knowing that if he was like Yan's father, there would be no need to say so much. Yan Lide and Liao Kai shook their heads together and said, "Absolutely not!"

"Thank you for your hard work, two sirs." Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly.

After seeing Yan Lide away and Liao Kai, Xiao Buyi was not discouraged and patted Shi Dana on the shoulder and said, "Danna, don't worry, take your time."

Shi Dana was moved and didn't say anything, but just nodded heavily.

Just as he was putting away the portrait, Lao Wu had already walked in quickly and whispered: "General Xiao, the person you asked me to follow me to find the place to stay."

Xiao Buyi knew that he was talking about Wen Yuzhou. Although he was curious about why he went to Dongdu, he still felt that the relationship between the two could not be beaten. Wen Yuzhou should have nothing to him, "What did he do recently?"

"He has always lived in Ping'an Inn in Tongyuan Market. He goes out early and returns late, and often walks around Li's mansion." Lao Wu replied.

"Which Li's Mansion?" Xiao Buyi asked with a frown.

"Li Yuan's family's underworld."

"Does he know the people of the Li family?" Xiao Buyi murmured to himself, thinking about whether the Yuwen family had any grudges with the Li family. It was because Wen Yuzhou wandered around the Li Mansion? However, Li Yuan stayed in the Dongdu family, so how could he have anything to do with Wen Yuzhou. Lao Wu's eyes were on the portrait at this time, and suddenly there was a strange look on his face. Xiao Buyi glanced at Lao Wu's expression with a strange expression, and asked in confusion, "Lao Wu, what's wrong? Do you know this person in the portrait?"

Lao Wu shook his head, "I don't know each other, Lao San said he wanted to find someone, and I have never seen this painting. But... Is there a saying I don't know if it should be said or not?"

Xiao Buyi was in a state of energy, "You said."

Lao Wu stared at the painting and pointed at the man's face, "Look, this man's head looks to the left, and then his right ear is revealed."

Lu Laosan smiled, "Lao Wu, you are confused about following you. Isn't this nonsense?"

Xiao Buyi looked at the man's right ear, suddenly reached out and stroked it gently, and said in a deep voice: "There seems to be a slight scar at the base of the right ear in the portrait?" Although he saw this, he still didn't understand Lao Wu's intention. He thought that this man's paintings were like a god, and he seemed to have a very understanding of himself, even a scar would be drawn.

Lao Wu nodded and said, "Boss Xiao really looked carefully, but if it was an ordinary person, it was a scar, I saw that it was a huge difference. I think it was a disguise when painting this person!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was amused at first, then shocked, but more often they didn't believe it. Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "Disguise, the person on the painting disguise?" Lao Wu's statement was really shocking, and it was no wonder Xiao Buyi was also surprised. However, when she thought that Lao Wu was a big disguise expert, Xiao Buyi believed it a little.

Lao Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I just said my feelings. It may not be right. Disguise is actually divided into many types. For example, Wen Yuzhou's type is the most crude type. It just uses the gray bottom of the pot to blacken the face. A little bit more elegant means using flour, mud glue, etc. to change the shape of the face. However, this disguise will be exposed after washing, and even more brilliant is to use a thin skin of a rare animal to make a mask. As long as it is worn on the face, it will change someone immediately. However, this kind of mask is quite difficult to make, and even if it is worn on the face, it will usually be at the meshing place.

Leave some traces, but not noticeable, are obviously the ear roots, so often the meshing point is chosen here, which will form such scars. Because I have studied this aspect, I first saw this person’s right ear and felt that it was not a scar, but a disguise. Besides, the charm of this person and the mediocre face are too different. Then I thought that it might be disguise. If this person is really disguised, then you really can’t follow the map to follow the map, but this person painted this way and left such a stroke. It’s really strange.”

"Nothing strange." Shi Dana suddenly roared.

Xiao Buyi and Lu Laosan were both a little fascinated when they heard this. Unexpectedly, Shi Dana suddenly shouted, looking heartbroken. Xiao Buyi thought of something, and his face changed slightly. Lao Wu was a little surprised, "Do you know why?"

"I only know that he is heartless and righteous! My mother has been thinking about him for more than 20 years, but he has not even let my mother see his face! I hate him!" Shi Danai clenched his fists, and tears flowed out. He turned around and rushed out like a beast in the ground. Although he was cowardly and dull, he was not stupid. He couldn't find him in the east these days, and he heard Lao Wu's analysis. He knew it was very reasonable. He thought that if he hadn't changed his surname, how could he have gained nothing? When he thought that he hadn't seen this father for more than 20 years, he could see his heartlessness.

The mother was so righteous that she never forgot about this unfaithful person and asked him to come to Zhongyuan to find him. But she never thought that this person was not only fake, but also fake. Her mother was deceived by her father until she died. How could she not let him be distraught? He rushed out frantically. He heard a cry outside the door, but someone was knocked to the ground by Shi Danai. The fifth brother was busy with other things and did not know the hidden truth, so he couldn't help but wonder. Xiao Buyi secretly called out terrible, thinking that he was attracted by the portrait for a while, and forgot this point, "Three brothers, go out with him, don't let him do stupid things."

Lu Laosan responded and followed him out in a hurry.

Xiao Buyi was worried and wanted to go and see it, but Huang Sheren from the palace walked in from outside the door, patted the dust on his body, and grinned, "General Xiao... what's going on?"

When Xiao Buyi saw Huang Sheren, he had to stop, "It's nothing, a friend encountered something sad."

"A big man, I don't know the right way." Huang Sheren shook his head, suddenly realized something, and smiled and said, "But it is normal for a man to lose his composure when he is sad."

"I wonder what Brother Huang is here?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Huang Sheren was moved and thought that it was ordinary for a poor and humble friend to call him brothers. Xiao Buyi had several ups and downs. Now, thousands of people in Dongdu admire him, and even called him the eldest brother. With these words alone, it was worth it to give him life.

"The King of Yue is invited."

Xiao Buyi had no choice but to think that Lu Lao San was steady in his work. Shi Danai's situation would probably be fine if he vented, "Then I will go with Brother Huang."

The two left the general's mansion and rode their horses and bridles towards the inner city. When Huang Sheren saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered: "Buddha, Huangfu Wuyi has been in full swing recently. I'm afraid it will be bad for you. You must be more careful."

Xiao Buyi was a little moved, "Thank you for your care, Brother Huang, I don't know what King Yue is asking me for?" He responded casually, but he was still thinking about Shi Dana's father's identity. When he was looking for his father for Shi Dana, he never dreamed that his father's identity was so mysterious. Today, he felt that he felt a lot of fog when he listened to Lao Wuyi's analysis.

Huang Sheren said mysteriously: "Buyi, there is someone coming to Kyoto today, I'm afraid you don't know yet."

Xiao Buyi was stunned, "Who is it?"

Huang Sheren lowered his voice, "It's Wang Shichong, the governor of Jiangdu County."

Xiao Buyi frowned and was secretly awe-inspired. He had actually set up a spy in Dongdu for a long time. He would always know anything big or small. He thought that Wang Shichong would definitely lead Huainan soldiers. Why did Wang Shichong come? He didn't know anything? According to his latest news, Wang Shichong's army was far away from Dongdu, and this news was really unexpected.

"Wang Shichong is here. This... if he comes, he will definitely make a big fuss, right?"

Huang Sheren shook his head and said, "I guessed it wrong now. Wang Shichong asked the army to set off to the East Capital. However, he took a few subordinates and light cavalry to disguise himself in the East Capital. Now, except for King Yue and Huangfu Wuyi, many people do not know about it. It is normal that you don't know about it, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Buyi's smile remained unabated, but he secretly cursed the old fox Wang Shichong. Obviously, this guy was taking advantage of the advantage when he ran to Dongdu. When Li Mi's army attacked Dongdu, he did not see this old boy so enthusiastic. When Li Mi's army retreated, he came quickly, of course because he was afraid that Xiao Buyi would cultivate and consolidate his power, so he could not get it in the river, and Dongdu was not good. He had been thinking about it over the years and wasted all the money. How could he not be in a hurry?

"I saw Wang Shichong and Huangfu Wuyi when I left the palace today." Huang Sheren said with some worries: "Brother Xiao, you must be careful, although you should not have the intention to harm others. You can not have the intention to guard against others!"

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Thank you, Brother Huang, for the reminder."

The two of them had already entered the inner city through secret words. Huang Sheren took Xiao Buyi to Longguang Hall and went to the hall to return the order. After a moment of kung fu, he was summoned into the hall.

Xiao Buyi slowly walked into the Longguang Hall and saw that most of the ministers were there, King Yue was high above, Huangfu Wuyi sat swayingly, with a man with a blond hair and blue eyes, and a smile on his face. It was Wang Shichong!

Xiao Buyi's face was shocked. Without waiting for his words, Wang Shichong had already stood up suddenly and stepped forward. He grabbed Xiao Buyi's hand and said loudly: "General Xiao, after being separated for many days, I am so relieved that you are more beautiful than before. I hope to see that you are better than before. I hope to be together early and late, and I only hope to be able to meet General Xiao again. Today I will get what I wish, which is really touching."

When he said this, tears actually flowed down. Xiao Buyi could only cooperate and said, "Actually, I miss Wang Junzhu very much, but how about letting me see King Yue first?"

Wang Shichong slapped his head and said, "Look, I'm so excited that I lost my etiquette. Please punish the King of Yue."

The King of Yue showed a happy smile for the first time and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wang is a man of temperament, how could I blame me? Now that Wang is here, I am Wuyou." Feeling that Huangfu Wuyi's face was a little gloomy, King Yue hurriedly added: "With General Huangfu is in charge of the Dongdu, General Xiao is a talented person, Wang Junzhu leads troops, and the three swords merge, Dongdu is Wuyou."

He, the King of Yue, was really cowardly and did not dare to offend any important minister. He could only hope that the Buddha would bless these people to work together to take Yang Guang back. Li Yuan stole the bell in secret, but he was more like sending the bell in secret.

Wang Shichong waved his hand and said, "The King of Yue praised me too much. I think I am just a vulgar bastard. How dare I compare with General Huangfu and General Xiao?"

When Xiao Buyi heard the word "Battle" and couldn't help but sigh that Wang Shichong was thick-skinned and over the wall of the Eastern Capital, which made people feel ashamed. He looked at Wang Shichong carefully and thought to himself that he was also from the Western Regions. If he had the chance, he could let him see the painting.

Huangfu Wuyi smiled a little on his face and said, "Mr. Wang, don't want to be too humble. I think the Supreme King Lu Mingyue is in trouble with the Central Plains. General Xiao returned in vain. Now the Prince Wang has actually killed the Supreme King Lu Mingyue. He has made great contributions and will not let General Xiao!"
