Chapter 40 Look at this portrait somewhat like before
Shen Munan narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the painting in Gu Yunyao's hand.
Her painting is very small, about the size of a book. The person in the painting is riding a horse, wearing a golden armor, holding a ghost-headed sword in his hand, with red silk tied to the handle, fluttering in the wind.
This person looks like...a round head and a big face, thick hair like a brush, a pair of wide-open eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth, and a steel-pin beard with distinct roots.
Not only that, he also has a thick waist, short legs, and surprisingly small feet.
Shen Munan's breath caught in his throat: "This is...the God of War?"
Gu Yunyao couldn't help laughing: This is your Zhang Fei and Mr. Zhang.
"Yes, Your Majesty, look, isn't it majestic? I deliberately drew it smaller so that you can carry it with you.
The God of War is invincible and has a tall and strong body. If you pray to him every day, you will definitely be strong and healthy."
Shen Munan's throat rolled up, and he squeezed out a short laugh from his chest.
Ah.
Gu Yunyao blinked: "Your Majesty, is it okay?"
Shen Munan closed his eyes slightly, not wanting to see her sly smile, and waved his hand, asking Chunni to send her out of the house and bring the horse back to take care of her.
Gu Yunyao happily resigned and exchanged a red wine bottle for the King of Qin to raise a horse for her, which was not a loss.
Shen Munan held the painting between his fingertips. Is this it? Still carrying it with him?
Qiu Feng came over to take a look, took a few glances, and pursed her lips.
Shen Munan glanced at him: "Laugh if you want."
"Pfft..." Qiu Feng laughed out loud and pointed at the feet of the person in the painting, "Your Majesty, it's so funny. The feet are so small and the toes of the boots are so small. It's so funny..."
Shen Munan's eyes were cold: "What do you think of the statue of the God of War she painted?"
Qiu Feng wiped away tears from laughter: "Back to my lord, this painting is very different from yours. When I was at the border, I saw the statues of the God of War hung by the common people. Although they are not particularly similar to yours, they are not so outrageous. .”
He turned his eyes and saw the red wine bottle on the table, and his eyes lit up: "But this bottle is pretty good."
Shen Munan put the portrait aside angrily: "What should I say?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. Mingzhen Pavilion just sold a few colorful glazed bottles two days ago, each priced at five thousand taels. According to my opinion, this bottle is an amber multi-colored bottle, so it is worth it..."
Qiu Feng paused: "Five thousand three hundred taels."
Three hundred taels... That day at Wangtianlou, he advanced three hundred taels and it hasn't been paid back to him yet!
Shen Munan didn't understand his hint at all, and stroked the bottle with his fingertips: "Go and call the little prince."
"……yes."
The rain had stopped by this time.
Gu Yunyao followed Chunni out of the palace, and when she glanced at him unintentionally, she saw a figure passing through the Moon Gate and heading towards the front hall.
Looks so familiar.
Chunni asked: "Miss Gu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Gu Yunyao looked away.
She only knows a few people in total, and almost no one can come here. Who could it be?
Outside the palace gate, Chunni took the little red horse and said, "Don't worry, Miss, there are several grooms in the palace, all of whom are good at raising and training horses. The fodder is also carefully prepared, and they will not treat your horse badly."
Gu Yunyao was very satisfied: "Chunni Great Guard, you have worked hard."
"Miss Gu, just call me Chunni."
Gu Yunyao: "??Autumn Wind Great Guard..."
Chunni's face was slightly hot: "Qiu Feng and I are both the prince's personal guards."
Gu Yunyao suddenly realized that after making trouble for a long time, this "big guard" was not a special title, but was added by Qiu Feng himself.
She laughed twice, said goodbye and left.
There were not many people on the street and the air was fresh. Gu Yunyao took a deep breath and walked back slowly.
Halfway through, I smelled a faint aroma. I looked up and walked to Hongxiu Tianxiang Tower again.
Hearing that the spices here were expensive and there were many varieties, Gu Yunyao remembered that the Duke’s wife bought a lot of spices that day to remove the odor from Lu Chuanlin’s body.
Thinking of Lu Chuanlin, Gu Yunyao had a headache again. The marriage had to be canceled quickly.
Walking all the way to Wangtian Tower, the young man came up to us and asked, "Miss Gu, are you here to ask for news?"
"Do you still remember me?"
"It's natural. All the distinguished guests who have been here will remember it," the young waiter said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, the shopkeeper has gone out, and your news is in the hands of the shopkeeper."
"good."
"Then you come with me, rest here for a while, and I will serve you tea."
Gu Yunyao sat down by the window and slowly sipped tea. This place was similar to a rest area, which was quite comfortable.
While drinking tea, she looked out and accidentally glanced at the street corner. She saw a man wearing a hat and cloak, with a sword looming at his waist.
A flash of lightning flashed in her mind, that night, the man in black was going to fight her to kill Yu Qingbai!
However, in just a moment, the man disappeared very quickly.
Gu Yunyao's heart skipped a beat. This person actually appeared again. Who was he?
While she was thinking, someone called her from behind: "Miss Gu?"
Gu Yunyao came back to her senses and saw the shopkeeper looking at her with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, let me ask, is there any news?"
"Yes, I wanted to send someone to deliver a letter to my house, but I was afraid of the inconvenience, so I'm waiting for the lady to come."
Gu Yunyao nodded: "The shopkeeper is thoughtful."
"Please wait."
The shopkeeper took out a small cloth bag and handed it to her with both hands: "This is all the information about Taoist Lingxu."
"Thank you very much." Gu Yunyao took it, "The shopkeeper helped me this time. If I have business in the future, I will definitely bother you again."
"Miss Gu is welcome to visit us at any time."
Gu Yunyao didn't stay any longer, put away the small cloth bag and returned to the general's mansion.
The shopkeeper watched her go away and return to the second floor.
I just went to the palace to deliver a message and received a new mission.
He opened a portrait, which was repainted in the palace just now.
The man in the painting is wearing armor, holding a ghost-headed sword in his hand, with a black head and black face, a leopard head with ringed eyes, and a pair of black steel beards, like needles and iron wires.
The master asked him to check the identity and origin of this person.
Seeing that this man is powerful and a military commander, he is supposed to know all the famous military commanders, but this one...why is he so unfamiliar?
Gu Yunyao returned to the General's Mansion with the information about the Lingxu Taoist.
Yang was still playing with her umbrella in the yard and was very happy to see her back.
Gu Yunyao entered the room and was about to take out the information and take a closer look when Granny Tian came again.
He sent people to keep an eye on her all the time. When they knew she had returned home, they came looking for her without waiting for a moment.
"Second Miss, Second Madam has something to ask you, please."
"If she wants to ask me something, just let her come. I don't have time to see her," Gu Yunyao refused.
"Second Miss, I would like to ask you..."
"Do you want to ask, or does she want to ask?" Gu Yunyao interrupted her, "She wants to ask, let her do it. If you want to ask, just don't say anything. I am not in the mood to answer questions from an old slave like you."
Grandma Tian was so angry that her face was livid: "Second Miss, you took away Miss Third Miss's horse. Is there something wrong with that? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Give me an explanation? What explanation?"
Gu Yunyao was confused: "Who saw this young lady taking her away?"
