Mr. Kezaku

territory. "

Chu Yuyang seemed to understand but half understood, and said, "So that's how it is."

Zhao Xingduan suddenly said, "It's okay to go and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhongting said in surprise, "Prince Duan also wants to..."

"Is Mr. Qi welcome?" Zhao Xingduan asked.

"How come?" Qi Zhongting hurriedly said, "I just heard that Prince Duan always likes to be quiet, so I didn't expect to be interested in this kind of painting feast."

Zhao Xingduan wasn't talking. He really wasn't interested in paintings. There were many fine works in the palace, probably many times better than Qi Zhongting's collection.But Chu Yuyang was going, of course he followed, leaving Chu Yuyang alone, maybe something would happen.

After they had lunch, Qi Zhongting was about to send them back to the yard.On the way, I met three or four young masters walking together.

Those four sons are not dressed in vulgar clothes, they are estimated to have extraordinary literary talents, and their families are relatively rich.

"Young Master Qi." Four people came forward to say hello.

Qi Zhongting didn't want to introduce Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang to them at first, after all, Zhao Xingduan's identity would not be leaked, but everyone had a face-to-face meeting, so it was even more strange not to introduce them.

Qi Zhongting had no choice but to briefly introduce Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang, but he didn't say who Zhao Xingduan was.

Those four people didn't pay much attention to Zhao Xingduan, but they all looked at Chu Yuyang in surprise and joy, and said, "This is the famous Mr. Chu?"

Chu Yuyang felt a headache, so she was really so famous?

Mr. Wang said: "Brother Qi's actions are not kind. I said that Brother Qi didn't see anyone all morning. Where did he go? It turned out that he was with Mr. Chu."

Mr. Yao said: "I am really happy to meet Mr. Chu today. Why don't we go have a drink together?"

Chu Yuyang hurriedly said: "What a coincidence, I just had lunch."

Mr. Liu said, "That's really unfortunate."

Mr. Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly snorted heavily, and said in a very bad tone: "I'm afraid Mr. Chu disdains chatting and drinking with us mediocre people, so he uses such excuses to prevaricate."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was taken aback, and the atmosphere was not very good in an instant, especially Zhao Xingduan's complexion turned dark all of a sudden.

Prince Wang hurriedly said, "Brother Li, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Yao seemed to have the best relationship with Mr. Li, so he hurriedly tugged him twice, and said, "Mr. Chu, don't take offense. Brother Li has this temper. Mr. Chu, take care of him."

Mr. Liu said in a strange tone: "Yes, if you want me to say, brother Li is jealous of Mr. Chu's extraordinary talent, that's why he is like this. We usually make him feel bad, Mr. Chu, don't be offended."

Chu Yuyang waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. People say that jealousy is a person's greatest recognition for another person from the heart. I should be happy that Mr. Li thinks highly of me."

That Mr. Li looked a little unhappy, but he didn't speak any more.

Mr. Yao said with a smile: "Brother Qi, isn't there a painting feast tonight, why don't you take us to see the paintings you have collected? There are too many people at night, and it's dark, so the artistic conception is very good. I'm afraid I can't see clearly."

Qi Zhongting immediately agreed and said, "Alright, I'll take you to have a look first."

He said to Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang: "You two must be tired too, why don't you go back to your room to rest earlier."

That group of people was taken away by Qi Zhongting, so Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang were left alone, and they walked back.

Chu Yuyang didn't take Mr. Li's matter to heart, and was still happy.They went back to the room, and it didn't take long for the snowflakes outside to grow bigger, and a layer of white snow fell on the ground, which looked quite nice.

Chu Yuyang leaned on the window and said, "Duan'er, why don't you come to see the snow?"

Zhao Xingduan sat at the table and took a cup of tea. He had no preference for snow and was not interested.On the contrary, Chu Yuyang was lying on the window, and Zhao Xingduan could just see his back. His slightly slender back was wrapped in a blue gown, and his buttocks looked extraordinarily straight.

Chu Yuyang didn't know that he was being admired by others, and said, "Hey, why did those two people come back? Looking at the paintings so fast? There must be nothing interesting."

As soon as he said that, Zhao Xingduan looked up, and through the open window, he saw Mr. Yao and Mr. Li walking into the courtyard.It seemed that those two people lived not far from them. They walked in hurriedly. Mr. Li was in a hurry to leave, but was held back by Mr. Yao behind him.

Mr. Yao said in a low voice, "Don't go, I have something to ask you."

Chu Yuyang couldn't hear what they said, but could only vaguely see them.He immediately pulled Zhao Xingduan to the window and said, "Duan'er, those two are sneaky, do they have an affair? What are they talking about?"

"Quarrel." Zhao Xingduan said lightly.

"Ah?" Chu Yuyang said, "It turns out that she has a leg."

Mr. Li was held back by Mr. Yao, he seemed very impatient, he shook off his hand and said, "What are you doing?"

"What's the matter with you?" Mr. Yao said, "Why did you walk away after taking a look at the painting, which made everyone really lose face."

Mr. Li sneered and said, "Looking at the paintings? I think this painting appreciation banquet is probably a Hongmen banquet."

"What?" Mr. Yao was taken aback, his expression flustered, and he said, "What are you talking nonsense about again? What kind of Hongmen Banquet?"

"That painting!" Mr. Li suddenly raised his excited voice a little, and immediately realized that he was too excited, so he closed his mouth and did not continue.

Chu Yuyang heard the words "that painting", and asked Zhao Xingduan strangely, "Which painting are they talking about?"

Zhao Xingduan shook his head.

"Painting?" Mr. Yao said strangely: "What's wrong with a painting? Ever since you saw that painting, you have become very nervous. I didn't see anything strange about that painting. The painting is very good. , I don’t know who did it.”

"There's something wrong with that painting." Mr. Li said, "No, we can't keep that painting, or we'll all die!"

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Mr. Yao broke out in a cold sweat from the fright, and said, "What do you mean you can't keep it? Do you really want to destroy the painting?"

Mr. Li ignored him, shook off his hand, and hurried into the house.Mr. Yao wanted to ask him again, but no matter how hard he knocked on the door, there was no response.

Chu Yuyang heard Zhao Xingduan say it again, and said strangely: "This Mr. Li is really strange, what does he mean by what he said? Are you joking or are you crazy?"

Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The afternoon passed quietly, and soon it was getting dark.

Because the painting appreciation banquet was held in the evening, everyone was recuperating in the house in the afternoon.Chu Yuyang took a nap, and when she got up, it was a bit white outside, with snowflakes all over the floor, because no one stepped on it, it looked very neat.

Chu Yuyang was very excited and said, "Quick, Duan'er, let's go out and destroy it, I'm going to step on it first."

For Chu Yuyang's naive approach, Zhao Xingduan did not refute, he took him a cloak, wrapped him up tightly, and went out together.

It was already dark, and it was almost time for the painting feast.Chu Yuyang stepped on the footprints for a while, and then heard the sound of people coming out of the room one after another.In twos and threes, they walked out of the courtyard excitedly and happily.

"Brother Yao, why is Brother Li missing?" a voice asked.

When Chu Yuyang turned her head, she saw the three people she met walking in the corridor together, presumably they were also going to enjoy the painting feast.But there is one missing, that is Mr. Li.

The three of them all saw Chu Yuyang, but because Mr. Li's words were inappropriate before, it was a little awkward for everyone to meet, so they didn't come over to invite them to go together, but greeted from a distance.

Mr. Yao said, "Stay in the house."

"Then isn't he going to look at the paintings?" Wang Gongzi asked.

Mr. Liu may have disliked Mr. Li for a long time, and he said in a weird way: "I don't know what happened to him in the afternoon. After looking at the painting, he ran away and almost gave away the vase placed at the door." Take it down. It's good if he doesn't go now, so as not to make any more troubles."

Mr. Yao said: "You two go first, I'll go find Brother Li, and then I'll go."

The two nodded and left together.

Mr. Yao walked to Mr. Li's door and knocked on the door for a while. There was no response at first, but the door suddenly opened, which startled Mr. Yao.

Mr. Yao said, "Brother Li, let's go to the painting banquet together."

"Okay." Mr. Li seemed to have completely forgotten what happened in the afternoon, nodded his head, his expression was normal, and left with Mr. Yao.

Chu Yuyang watched the whole process, but they stood far away and said, "Should we go too?"

Zhao Xingduan nodded, pulled Chu Yuyang out of the courtyard, and went to the theater building in the backyard together.

The painting appreciation banquet is arranged on the theater building, which is very tall and covered with a layer of snow from a distance, which looks quite beautiful.

The first floor of the opera building is open, a bit like a pavilion, and the second and third floors look like a house, and the painting appreciation banquet is held on the second and third floors.

There were so many people who came to participate, Chu Yuyang was taken aback when he arrived, with such a gesture of rubbing shoulders, he felt that they couldn't fit in the theater building together.

Candles are lit in the theater building, many paintings are hung on the second and third floors, and a few palace lanterns are hung above the head. In order to create an aura, the light is not bright, but it feels very dark, and you can’t see the people around you clearly. s face.

Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan entered the theater building, followed the crowd to the third floor, and found that there were a lot of people upstairs. When they went upstairs, they saw those young masters of Yao and Wang in front, but soon Yes, it was overwhelmed by the crowd.

Zhao Xingduan protected him in his arms so that he would not be scattered by others.

Chu Yuyang held Zhao Xingduan's hand in a big way. Anyway, there are so many people in the dark, no one can see.

Chu Yuyang said: "This is not looking at paintings, it is obviously looking at people's heads, I can't see anything."

Zhao Xingduan glanced sideways at the top of his head, and said nothing in silence.Chu Yuyang felt that Prince Duan was silently despising her height...

Chu Yuyang really couldn't see, but he wasn't interested in painting either.He was actually quite lucky that there were so many people, and he was not afraid of being caught by someone suddenly to ask for advice and appreciate the paintings.

"Master Zhao, Mr. Chu."

Seeing them coming, Qi Zhongting hurried over to greet them.Although there were many people, Qi Zhongting could not neglect Prince Duan.

Zhao Xingduan greeted lightly, and Chu Yuyang immediately saw Keshi wearing a green skirt beside him.

Chu Yuyang asked: "Master Qi, there are so many people, why did you bring your wife out?"

Qi Zhongting smiled and said: "Jie likes painting, so we came to join in the fun."

Chu Yuyang nodded with a smile.

Qi Zhongting said: "There are a lot of people here, I'm afraid Qi's reception is not good enough, please forgive me."

"You are busy with your work." Chu Yuyang waved his hand and said, "You don't need to entertain us."

Qi Zhongting said a few more polite words, and then left with Ke Shi.

Ke Shi didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but Chu Yuyang felt that Ke Shi seemed to be looking at her all the time, and she didn't know if it was an illusion.

Chu Yuyang suddenly turned her head, and sure enough, she saw that Ke Shi was still looking at her.They are already far away, but their eyes are very recognizable.

It was pitch black all around, and Ke Shi's face couldn't be seen clearly, Chu Yuyang suddenly thought of that painting, and couldn't help shivering.

It was crowded, Chu Yuyang soon became impatient, and all he could appreciate were the few palace lanterns, which were quite beautifully made.

Chu Yuyang said: "Duan'er, there are so many people here, two people can't tell if they leave. Why don't we go back, there's nothing to see."

"Alright." Zhao Xingduan nodded.

"Ugh!"

Chu Yuyang was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly someone hit her hard on the back. The force was so great that Chu Yuyang was almost hit, but fortunately, Zhao Xingduan supported her.

At the same time, someone shouted: "Brother Li! Where are you going!"

When Chu Yuyang heard it, it was probably Mr. Yao who was shouting, and the voice could be recognized.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Li took the painting away?"

"What painting?"

When Chu Yuyang heard the sound, she stood on tiptoe and looked back, only to see that a painting was missing on the wall, and it was empty.

When he was looking at the painting, someone had already run out to chase Mr. Li, because it was too dark, he couldn't see who was chasing him.

Ke Junyan couldn't see the slightest surprise on his face, and whispered in Qi Zhongting's ear, "Let's go and have a look."

"Okay." Qi Zhongting immediately pulled him and ran out.

When Chu Yuyang saw it, she said, "Duaner Duaner, let's go and see what's wrong?"

In the afternoon, he heard the conversation between Mr. Li and Mr. Yao. Mr. Li once said that he would destroy the painting, but just now, he snatched the painting away and ran out.

Zhao Xingduan put his arms around his waist, led him to avoid the crowd quickly, and chased in the direction where Mr. Li ran away.

Mr. Li didn't run down the stairs, because the stairs were very narrow and there were so many people there, so it was impossible to escape from there.

His figure ran out from the small door on the third floor. There are four small doors on the third floor, all of which are located in front, back, left, and right, but they do not lead to the downstairs. It is just a cleverly designed corridor surrounded by wooden railings. , you can look into the distance from the roof.

When Chu Yuyang chased him out, he saw that all the chased people were standing on the corridor, looking down while leaning on the railing.

A lot of people chased after him, Qi Zhongting, Ke Junyan, and Mr. Yao, Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu were all there. Everyone looked down, with very strange expressions on their faces.

"Where are people?" Chu Yuyang asked.

Mr. Yao said with a look of shock: "When I chase here, there will be no one...I'm afraid, I jumped down."

The surrounding area of ​​the opera building is empty, and there is no place to hide. If the person who chases here disappears in an instant, the only possibility is to jump down.

Chu Yuyang looked downstairs and felt dizzy. This is a theater house, not an ordinary house, and each floor is very high. I'm afraid there is no possibility of surviving after jumping like this.This is the backside of the opera building, because it is too high to see clearly, the bottom is pitch black, but when you look closely, it is white again, the white snow is spread on the ground, it looks neat, no one has stepped on it.

Zhao Xingduan also took a look, and said: "That man doesn't know martial arts, if he jumps from here, he will definitely not survive."

"This……"

Qi Zhongting said, "I'll send someone down to look for it immediately."

Chu Yuyang stared downstairs for a long time, and when she raised her head, she happened to see Ke Junyan next to her.

Ke Junyan was wearing a green dress and had a pretty face. His eyes were flat, and he looked downstairs. The corners of his mouth were flat, but it gave people the feeling that he was actually smiling, and the expression on his face was very strange.

Chu Yuyang couldn't help being taken aback, Ke Junyan seemed to have noticed his gaze, turned to look at him, and said, "Mr. Chu, what's the matter?"

Chu Yuyang shook her head.Then follow Zhao Xingduan to go downstairs.

After something like this happened, the painting feast must not continue, so everyone had to leave.

But what surprised everyone even more was that Mr. Li jumped from the upstairs, but there was nothing downstairs. There was no Mr. Li's body, and there was not even a single footprint on the white ground.If Mr. Li jumped down and didn't fall to his death, but he got up and left, he should have left footprints.
