Chapter 84: Fighting painting is worse than fighting wine (1)(1/2)
Zhou Rusheng returned to a small courtyard, and in the courtyard was Lotus and Zhan Xu.
However, Zhou Rusheng now had no idea that he had been involved in the battle between Zhan Xu and Xie Tiannan.
Zhan Xu didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and there was a map on the table, and he was looking at it carefully; as for the lotus, he sat upright, like a child who was in the private school to teach.
"Are you back?"
Zhan Xu said hello symbolically.
"Do you know I will definitely come back?" Zhou Rusheng now felt that he was really dangerous. It was much more dangerous than before when he assassinated his father and ate the gods' music. He now just felt that he was a fool, and he was caught in two clever minds.
Among the most powerful people.
"Well, if you want to survive, you must be honest with Xie Tiannan. This is your only choice. I won't ask you where Xie Tiannan is, because I bet you don't know. Even you can't even tell the direction clearly.
"Zhan Xu said that, and looked up at Zhou Rusheng.
"When I came back, weren't there any way?"
Zhan Xu smiled, then continued to lower his head and look at the map on the table.
Zhou Rusheng pursed his lips, frowned, looked at him, and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say.
He claimed to be smart since childhood, but compared with the strangers and Xie Tiannan in front of him, he was simply not worth mentioning, just like a fool or a smart person.
"Do you have some complaints in your heart, complaining about Xie Tiannandou and me, why did you get involved?"
Zhou Rusheng no longer resisted. In front of the two of them, he had no secrets and could only nod his head honestly.
"Because neither of us is sure to defeat each other, we need you to be the middleman. If we have enough strength, who is willing to use our brains?" Zhan Xu suddenly stopped, looked at the map and said, "This is Xuzhou Prefecture, Xuzhou City, Xuzhou Prefecture
The layout is really interesting. Look at this inn, it looks like it is in the center of the city, but through the river that runs through the city, you can run out of the city within a quarter of an hour. Moreover, I heard that the river was actually sealed by the government.
If so, it will give some people with ulterior motives a chance. As long as they are in the inn in this city, they will be able to move forward and retreat freely."
Zhan Xu suddenly interrupted and talked about the layout and structure of the city.
Zhou Rusheng glanced at the inn that Zhan Xu pointed to and shook his head. He really couldn't see anything.
If Xie Tiannan saw this scene, he would be shocked, because the inn that Zhan Xu referred to was his place to stay, and Wang Yanqing's place to stay temporarily.
Zhan Xu put away the map and glanced at Zhou Rusheng who wanted to speak but stopped, but Zhou Rusheng glanced at Lotus.
Zhan Xu understood that Zhou Rusheng's business was that in their business, the best way to protect a person was to keep him away from this business.
"Lianhua, go find the guy who caught you and ask him to go out to get some food and come back. You can cook dishes and make soup for your husband." Zhan Xu thought of a reason casually and sent Lianhua away.
He was not afraid of the lotus running away. After all, there were Li Fusheng watching him, and some experts who had confirmed his identity as Xiangliu clan were guarding him!
After the Lotus left, Zhou Rusheng completely told what he had seen and heard just now.
Zhan Xu frowned, took a deep breath and said, "Wu Daozi's painting?"
"Wu Daozi was a painting saint of our human race a hundred years ago. He was good at painting Buddhism, ghosts, gods, landscapes, figures, etc. He himself was a believer in both Buddhism and Taoism, so he had a very high level of paintings about Buddhism and Taoism. Landscapes and figure paintings were drawn by people.
It is also a unique one, but due to the war and his paintings became famous, it caused a scramble. Not many of them remained, which led to the rising prices of his paintings now. There was even a saying of "Wu Bancheng" back then, that is,
One of his paintings is worth half a city.”
"You seem to be very familiar with this Wu Daozi?" Zhan Xu asked immediately alertly. Since Chang Yangshan appeared, he had read a lot of books and learned a lot of knowledge about the human race, but he could still read about paintings.
Not much.
"My father..." Zhou Rusheng lowered his head when he mentioned these two words, and seemed a little uncomfortable.
Zhan Xu also knew about how Zhou Rusheng gained Xie Tiannan's trust, and Zhou Rusheng's condition was normal.
"I forgot that your father is a minister and a Jinshi, so he is naturally familiar with these things. Let's continue to talk about Wu Daozi." Zhan Xu's doubts in his heart were also dispelled. He looked at Zhou Rusheng and patted him.
The shoulders are considered comfort.
"The paintings of Wu Daozi have not been preserved. I did hear before that Xie Tiannan likes to collect calligraphy and paintings of literati. He seems to have many paintings of famous masters. This time he told me that he was betrayed and stole the recipe and paintings.
, and also placed the recipe in the painting and placed it in the auction house. Although he caught the traitor, he couldn't get it back without a serious reason. First, he didn't want to make a big fuss, after all, our identity in this industry is not suitable
Exposed. The second is that when Wu Daozi's painting appeared, it was very popular. If he wanted to get it back, he had to go through the auction. Moreover, many great figures from the Holy Dynasty also came, and their goal was also this painting.
”
Zhan Xu took a deep breath, and he couldn't find any mistakes in this sentence.
Moreover, it is normal for Xie Tiannan to tell himself this news. If this recipe falls into the hands of others, it is very likely to fall into the hands of the Holy Dynasty. If this recipe is available, the old senior Wu Mengfan will most likely have developed the ability to restrain the gods and fairies.
Pills. At that time, not only will their business be divided into pieces by others, but the entire industry may be subverted.
Anyway, Xie Tiannan knows the formula himself. If he gets the formula himself, the industry will at least be there.
Moreover, this incident has been a big deal, so it is indeed no problem to tell him about it. At least, he will also help him deal with Zhong Ling and others who want this painting. I have to say that Xie Tiannan is very calculating!
After thinking about it for a while, there was no problem with this matter, he began to think about how to deal with the current situation.
He and Xie Tiannan are indeed in a competitive relationship, but now for the sake of this industry, they can only deal with Zhong Ling together at this time.
If Zhan Xu knew that the whole thing was fake, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.
He has deceived people for the rest of his life, whether on the battlefield or in the way of employed people, and it can be said that he has never lost anyone. His long-term victory in IQ has made him slightly relax his vigilance this time.
"Okay, if you have any trouble these days, go and ask about the painting. Remember, it was dinner when you came back, and your wife made it." Although Zhan Xu changed his skin, he still acted in his usual style.
Grab the things that others cherish the most and threaten the threat of both kindness and power.
Zhou Rusheng could actually hear that the mysterious man in front of him was mentioning him, but he had no choice but to whisper: "Okay, thank you."
After saying that, he went to find Lotus.
...
Two days passed in a flash, and the paintings originally scheduled to be held at the entrance of Xie Tiannan Inn were not carried out.
Zhong Ling appeared, but he waited downstairs for a morning but still didn't see anyone. Just as he was about to leave, Wang Yanqing slowly walked downstairs.
He changed into a clean outfit, his face was shaved, his hair was tied behind his head, a ribbon was tied around his waist, and a knife was hung. This outfit was not very luxurious, but he used to seeing it before.
With Wang Yanqing's down-and-out appearance, this outfit is eye-catching.
If you wear a hat, it will be the perfect dress for a gangster, and it was Wang Yanqing's favorite outfit back then.
Zhong Ling glanced at Wang Yanqing and frowned.
He was wearing a green brocade robe and a high crown, gentle and polite.
And Wang Yanqing is full of the ecstasy and carefree.
When the two of them stood there, the difference between scholars and wanderers in the world, which seemed out of place, and they also disliked each other.
Even Wang Yanqing had a grass from where he got it from, and looked at Zhong Ling with a provocative face.
"You're the only one who calls me Zhong Ling? The foundation is good, but there is still room for improvement. If you want to go further, you can kneel down and kowtow. I'll teach you in the future!"
Everyone was upset and suddenly became a little excited.
It has been a long time since they saw such a hot scene, and they were merciless as soon as they met.
This is never the case for artists to compete, only street gangsters will do so.
Zhong Ling's face suddenly turned pale, as if the thousand-year-old frost condensed on her face, and the air around her suddenly became cold.
"Fighting paintings is not a bickering. If you have the ability to draw the real one, if you lose, kneel down and call him dad!" Zhong Ling said with a cold face and gritted her teeth. Zhong Ling has always been gentle and elegant. Now he can say such words.
He was really angry.
Even Bai Qiaoer, who was standing behind him, was startled and grabbed the corner of Zhong Ling's clothes tightly.
Bai Qiaoer was indeed not afraid of heaven or earth, but since she fell in love with Zhong Ling, she became timid after seeing the cruelty of the blood demon battlefield.
Seeing that Zhong Ling did not avoid any of it, everyone was ready to watch a good show.
But what they didn't expect was that Wang Yanqing actually looked at Zhong Ling with a strange look on his face and scolded angrily: "Do you understand the rules? The time we reserved has passed. I'm drunk and I'm just woken up now.
Rules, our paintings should be postponed!"
Wang Yanqing yawned. It was obviously because he overslept, but he was right to say this, as if Zhong Ling had made a mistake.
Everyone looked at Wang Yanqing in amazement. They had never seen such a righteous but shameless person.
Even Zhong Ling was so angry that she trembled all over by this, pointing at Wang Yanqing and said, "You..."
Wang Yanqing's eyes tilted upwards and said directly: "What do I say? I'll go backwards. Moreover, single-player paintings are boring, let's bet."
"Okay, then what bet do you want!" Zhong Ling, who had been calm before, asked impulsively now.
"It's very simple. Tonight, the painting of Wu Daozi's painting is about to be auctioned. If I lose later, I will give you this painting! If you lose, you will have to give me that painting!"
Wang Yanqing's words caused an uproar.
He said this, completely without taking other people involved in the auction seriously and directly announced the ownership of Wu Daozi's paintings.
"Are you sure you can get that painting?" Zhong Ling looked up and down Wang Yanqing and asked with suspicion.
He really couldn't help it. He had heard of this guy, who was so poor that he would always have to mortgage his knife when he was outside the city. Just such people still had silver to auction?
"The auction requires silver." Zhong Ling's words were also what countless onlookers wanted to say.
"Then please care about me. As long as you beat me, I can give you the painting. You care about how I got it." Wang Yanqing's words were as righteous as ever. The knife on his waist clanged and looked at him squintly
