Painter

Between himself and Li Yuan, Bai Qian couldn't guess who hurt who.Just looking at it, I realized that the target of Feng Yan and the group of men in black seemed to be not just one of them.

A man in black untied a gourd from his waist, pulled out the gag, and poured the liquid inside on the table.The clear water slowly flowed along the grain of the wood, and soon spread into a large area.The man in black tensed his index finger, and drew a frame on the table after getting wet, enclosing the entire water stain inside.

Lifting the fingertips lightly, the original clear water disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by a ball of cotton cloth stretched out in place.It is thick but without patterns, it is pitch black, and the corners go over the edge of the table and hang down.

Before and after is just a sentence or two.The man in black spread the cotton cloth on the ground, carried all the swords up, and wrapped them up together.The leader of the man in black called out respectfully "Lord Si Qi" to the man with phoenix eyes, and stood aside with his hands down, waiting for instructions.

Si Qi nodded, and immediately someone carried the huge package out.At the same time, Li Yuan was gagged, tied up roughly and dragged away without even having time to scream.

After Li Yuan was taken away, Si Qi walked around the room calmly, looked him up and down, and sat down.Bai Qian was pressed against the wall, Si Qi waved his hand and said, "Let him go."

The man in black let go of his hands and took a few steps back, his whole body tensed, in a state of complete defense.With a smile on the corner of Si Qi's mouth, with a leisurely look, he greeted Bai Qian to sit down opposite him, as if he was going to have a long talk.

Si Qi tapped the table with his fingertips, and said, "I won't let them tie you up. In return, you have to answer my questions truthfully."

I can't figure out their details, and I don't know their purpose.The opponent has a large number of people, but he is in the worst period.No matter how you look at it, this is not a time when you have the right to say "no".Bai Qian is not a reckless stunned young man, he understands the necessity of compromise.

Si Qi thought for a while and added: "But you can't talk nonsense, or I will punish you." His tone was soft, as if discussing with others, but his eyes were cold and distant, with no emotion.Bai Qian didn't answer.Si Qidao: "I take it as your acquiescence. First of all, who are you?"

Bai Qian raised his eyes to look at him, and replied cautiously: "Ning Baiqian."

Si Qi shook his head: "I didn't ask what your name is, where are you from?"

Bai Qian lowered his eyes and replied, "I don't remember——who are you?"

Si Qi seemed to have heard some joke, the corner of his mouth chuckled, and his soft tone seemed to be tolerant: "You asked about me instead! It's okay, we will work together for a long time in the future, and I will tell you sooner or later. Qi, work under Lord Ming to earn a living."

Southern Guigu, one of the five great families, has the most extensive territory.The lord of the city, Ming Lian, was good at painting cars and houses, which are characterized by grandeur.

Li Yuan would occasionally mention a few words about the situation of the five major families.Bai Qian was slightly startled, not long ago Li Yuan suggested that he choose a family as a barrier to seek safety.Didn't expect to run into one of them so soon.

Still thinking, Si Qi interrupted Bai Qian and asked, "It's your turn, where are you from?"

Bai Qian couldn't tell him that it was the Mingyuan Community to the west of the CBD, and he was not familiar with the geography of this world, so he could only say, "I really don't remember. It was here when I woke up, Li...was captured by you." The man said that he picked me up at the foot of Mount Qiaoze—what did you catch him for?"

Si Qi stared at Bai Qian, watching his expression change: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to ask."

really!There is another matter, which is aimed at Li Yuan himself.Looking at the actions of those men in black, it must have something to do with those swords.Just a "village" dagger, axe, sickle, what secrets will there be?

Bai Qian couldn't figure it out, so he changed the subject and asked, "What do you mean by working together?"

Si Qi seemed to be getting impatient, but there was still a vague smile on the corner of his mouth: "I am asking you. Don't avoid the next question, answer me truthfully—these things in your bag, and your artificial leg, Who made it?"

His purpose was on his prosthetic limb, Bai Qian had already guessed it, but he just didn't understand it.It stands to reason that the traffic in this world is blocked, and information should not spread so fast.Under the exception, there must be some specific reason.After thinking about it, after I got here, the only person I came into contact with was Li Yuan.The news could only come out through Li Yuan, or he provided it to Si Qi on his own initiative, or he had been targeted by Si Qi long ago, and he happened to bump in during the period.

However, no matter what, Li Yuan is no longer the villager that Bai Qian always thought he was, but Liang Shan is moderately curious and greedy.Bai Qian felt more and more that Li Yuan's identity was a mystery and he couldn't figure it out.

Si Qi waited for a while, and his expression became cold: "Among today's painters, I have never heard of anyone who is good at painting these tricks. It's a pity that such a master should hide from the world."

Bai Qian collected his thoughts, put Li Yuan's matter aside for the time being, and replied to Si Qi: "I don't know. If you can help me find out my ancestral home and find my relatives, there may be clues."

Lightly throwing the question back to Si Qi, Bai Qian's face was sincere, but his heart was beating like a drum, jumping wildly with "bang bang".

Si Qi stood up in an instant, walked up to Bai Qian, stared condescendingly into Bai Qian's eyes: "I told you, answer truthfully!"

The previous indifference and kindness disappeared, and Bai Qian shuddered when he stared at him viciously.Not knowing what his expression looked like, Bai Qian was really scared at that moment, and stressed in a panic: "What I said is true."

Si Qi took two steps back, waved his finger at Bai Qian and said, "Then I'll wrong you to stay with me first—tied him to the bed!"

Si Qi's order was somewhat inexplicable, and Bai Qian didn't realize it until Si Qi rolled up his trousers with his own hands.Struggling still, his limbs were tightly pressed, Si Qi looked at Bai Qian's leg for a long time before taking off his prosthetic limb.

There is nothing scarier than having a prosthetic limb taken away. After Bai Qian lost his legs in the explosion, he became paranoid about it.Before the hiss could break out, his mouth was tightly gagged.Bai Qian's eyes widened, his eye sockets were red, and his canthus were about to burst.

Si Qi took off his prosthetic limb and didn't hand it over to his subordinates. He took Bai Qian's bag and kept it by himself: "I just kept it for you temporarily, and I will return it to you when I see the painter."

Bai Qian was still struggling, like a struggling beast, with a low and muffled roar from his throat.Si Qi was a little impatient, frowned and threatened: "If you continue to do this, I will directly dismantle them and study them myself!"

The threat didn't calm Bai Qian down, on the contrary, it made him even more irritable.In this era, there is no silicone, no titanium alloy, no air pressure device, no energy storage foot plate.Bai Qian didn't know if those bullshit painters could draw these super-era things, and he didn't know how he would walk after the pair of prosthetics were disassembled.

Si Qi's brows became deeper and deeper, a man in black took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle, and put it under Bai Qian's nose to stand still.Bai Qian only felt a faint scent of flowers mixed with the coolness of mint coming to his nostrils. After a while, he felt weak all over, and his mind began to slacken, unable to toss about.

However, his consciousness was very clear, Bai Qian knew that someone would resist him and push him into a carriage.The rich aroma of medicine mixed with the sweetness of incense surrounds the cabin.Si Qi said from the side: "Cooperate, we work together for Master Ming, that is colleagues, I will naturally not embarrass you. When you think of that painter, I will return this artificial leg to you."

Bai Qian couldn't speak, his mind wandered a few times, and he couldn't hold back.Si Qi was not a kind person, even if he joined Minglian's sect, he would not necessarily become their "insider".At best, when using oneself, the attitude is more tactful and more relaxed.

Anxious emotions were stuffed in my heart, unable to vent.Bai Qian's sense of crisis was getting stronger and stronger, wishing he could escape immediately and be far away from Gui Gusi.

It was already dawn, the carriage staggered, and stopped suddenly in the middle of the journey.Bai Qian heard a sound of horseshoes coming to an abrupt stop in front of him, and then the horse kicked and circled in place, snorting.A clear girl rang out: "Is Guigu Siqi in this car?"

Si Qi lifted the curtain on the car, poked his head out for a look, seemed a little surprised, but quickly withdrew his expression and said, "That's right. Miss Mu, don't come here without any problems. This early in the morning, we are going to go up the mountain to get the marsh. wood?"

Bai Qian could hear it clearly in the car, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.The Mu family at the foot of Qiao Ze Mountain was the one Li Yuan mentioned most often.Because Li Yuan lived in Fanxi, he knew the most about this family.The Mu family is now the most favored by the emperor, but because of the lack of a strong family head, it is not prosperous.This person, about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a red dress, should be Mu Yueguan, the second daughter of the Mu family, one of the few painters who can draw soldiers and armor.

Mu Yueguan was obviously not as calm and natural as Si Qi, beautiful and angry, pointing at Si Qi with a whip in his hand: "What are you sneaking into our Fanxi for?"

Si Qi pretended to be surprised: "Why did Miss Mu say that? I passed the pass and entered through the city gate. How could I be sneaking?"

"Impossible! There is no report of your entry and exit at the pass! If I didn't receive a secret letter, how would I know that you are already in my Fanxi City! You clearly sneaked in! Tell me, what did you do in my Fanxi! "

Si Qi still wanted to argue, but the whip pierced the air, the sound of tearing approached rapidly, and it hit the roof of the car.The horse pulling the cart was frightened, and after throwing its head back and neighing, it spread its legs and ran around.Bai Qian was bumped and rolled onto the car floor, his eyes turned black when he hit it, but his heart became agitated.

Miss Mu and Si Qi are clearly at odds, such a chaotic situation is beneficial to him!

Si Qi's face turned pale, his back was pressed against the wall of the car, and he supported the soft couch with both hands, trying to maintain his balance.Bai Qian's prosthetic limb was wrapped up and placed by Si Qi's hand, and it also fell off during the collision.

The carriage turned sharply again, Bai Qian was thrown to the other side, and the corner of his forehead just hit the package.Not caring much, Bai Qian grabbed the package and hugged it tightly in his arms, crawling with difficulty with one free hand.Seeing that Bai Qian had won, Si Qi leaned out to stop him.

Mu Yueguan's voice from outside the car sounded again, with a slight smack at the end of the sentence: "Huh! I will teach you how to use Mu Yueguan's horsewhip in advance! Go back and tell old man Ming that there is no need to come to the October meeting to show yourself! This year The winner must come from our Mu family!"

Before the words fell, the carriage shook, and it was Mu Yueguan's whip that fell on the roof again.While breathing, the carriage suddenly burst open, shattering into many pieces with a harsh "cracking" sound.Bai Qian only felt that his body was empty, and fell with the sawdust.

Li Yuan said that painters are divided into three classes, with painting clothes being the lowest class, which can barely maintain food and clothing; painting soldiers armor is the best, who pay attention to using "qi" to control paintings, and there are very few such painters; the remaining part is painting utensils , which includes cars, houses, etc., is the most complicated, but it is also the most closely related to daily life.But this kind of painter needs Sawaki as the medium to complete the painting.However, Zemu is so precious that most people can't get it, so there are very few finished products.

But once the carts and house paintings are formed, they are extremely strong and cannot be damaged by ordinary weapons.

There is no doubt that Si Qi's carriage was also made by the painter, but it was torn apart under Mu Yueguan's whip.Not only Bai Qian, but even Si Qi himself was shocked, rolled on the spot and retreated to a safe range, staring at Mu Yueguan's whip, speechless.

Bai Qian was busy protecting the package in front of his chest, and because of his limited mobility, he could only roll down along the broken car floor.Seeing that the distance between the raised sharp wood in front of him was getting closer and closer, Bai Qian instinctively closed his eyes.

But the body suddenly stopped the falling trend, only paused in the blink of an eye, Bai Qian felt being picked up.Opening his eyes, he saw a strange man holding his waist and retreating rapidly.

Splinters of wood were still shooting around.The man turned around and bowed his waist, Bai Qian felt the person holding him move slightly, followed by the sound of splintered wood hitting his back.

Bai Qian raised his head, only seeing the man's sharp jaw and expressionless side face.
