The morning sunlight came in through the window, Chi Wan opened his eyes, and heard sand and stone greeting in his ear, "Morning Xiao Chi, where are we going today?"

"Go to the place where the canal was dug. If you meet Fang Xun, say hello to her."

Unexpectedly, Sha Shi put forward his own idea, "Can we go to the next city? I heard that grapes are grown there, and grapes are picked there to make wine. The wine in the south is supplied from there. Yeah, so I'm still curious."

By this time, Chi Wang hadn't noticed anything unusual, "Let's take a look at the canal first. It's not easy to dig under the ground around here. It won't take much time to go around a little bit."

Sha Shi insisted on his own opinion, "Go, go! Just take a look, I like eating grapes the most."

Chi Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why do I feel that you don't want me to see the canal?"

Sha Shi said with a dry smile, "How is that possible? You can go if you want, and I can't stop you."

In the company of more than three years, Sand and Stone rarely interfered with his choice. Chi Wang felt that this matter was a bit interesting, and he was determined to go to the canal to check it out.

Around noon, Chi Wang arrived at the place where Fang Xun was. As soon as the eldest princess saw her friend coming, she immediately welcomed Chi Wang warmly with joy, welcomed Chi Wang as the guest of honor, and invited him to eat the fresh grapes that were rushed over this morning.

Chi Wang refused very firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, forget about grapes, I have never been used to this taste."

Fang Xun asked strangely: "Really? The land here is fertile and sunny, and the grapes produced are sour and sweet. I didn't expect you not to like it."

While Fang Xun was speaking, Sha Shi also added in a low voice, "Grapes are my favorite, I really want to try them... especially sour grapes, I like that taste."

As soon as he heard sour grapes, Chi Wan's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and he drank his tea expressionlessly without saying a word.

"That's really a pity." Fang Xun sighed, "Both the Emperor Shihuang and Yuchi Guoshi liked the grapes here. It is said that whenever Xiyanguan offered grapes, the First Emperor would never forget to give a copy to the Guoshi, and passed on the grapes here. He has a good name of harmony between the monarch and his subjects for a lifetime."

Chi Wang: "..."

He really wanted to tell Fang Xun that Imperial Master Yuchi never liked sour grapes. After Mu Beixi found out about this, he gave him grapes every year with great enthusiasm. All of them were sour. Nothing sweet.

Return the harmony between the monarch and his ministers?He had always suspected that Mu Beixi had a grudge against him.

After Fang Xun entertained Chi Wang, he went out and continued to stare at the canal. Chi Wang went to see the scene and checked the situation as he wished. He saw that all matters, big and small, were handled thoroughly. It seems that the decision to build the canal was not a temporary idea , I have been fully prepared for a long time, and I don't even need to add anything, so I feel very comforted in my heart, knowing that the repair of the canal this time can basically be completed.

The lively eldest princess didn't know Chi Wang's comforting mood. She pointed to a nearby tomb and introduced: "When digging the canal two days ago, a tomb more than 700 years ago was dug out. It is said that there is The funeral objects, and the portrait of Yuchi Guoshi back then."

Chi Wang's expression was a little subtle, "...well, is that right?"

"The portraits from that era have almost been lost so far, and I don't know if this one is true or not...Well, at the current speed, it will be dug up almost at night. If this is the case, I will take Doctor Koike around first. Check back in a few hours."

Chi Wang has lived for so long, what else has he not seen?At this time, his emotions and anger were not visible, even in such a situation, he was still very stable, and his expression did not show any abnormality, "If this is the case, I will trouble the eldest princess."

Fang Xun laughed loudly, "No trouble, why are you being polite to me? Come, this way please."

The two went to a nearby orchard while chatting and laughing. They strolled until the evening before returning to the canal.

When they came back, the laborers had followed Fang Xun's orders.The tomb door of the main tomb has been dug, and everything is going well, just waiting for Fang Xun to come back and take a look inside. Fang Xun is very happy, but what makes her even more happy is that there is an uninvited old man standing by the canal. friend.

There is still a distance, and the eye-catching figure of that person can already be seen.Fang Xun waved his hands from a distance, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Naughty... ah, Master Zi'an, you are here too!"

Until this time, Chi Wang finally realized something was wrong.

If it was just an abnormality in the sand and gravel in the morning, it wouldn't make him alert, but at this moment, without any reason, the sudden appearance of Pen'er here finally made him feel uncomfortable.

After they approached on horseback, Zi'an, who was full of travel and dust, put his hands together, and made a monk salute to the two of them, "Princess, Master Chi."

Fang Xun went up laughing and chatting with Zi'an, Chi Wan felt more and more uneasy, and shifted his gaze to the dug grave.

He shouldn't have any portraits handed down... For many years, every few tens or hundreds of years, I can hear someone bringing out his own picture scroll from the ancient tomb. When Chi Wang heard the news, he still thought I would take a look out of curiosity, and then I saw more and knew that it was all a lie, so I didn't care anymore.

After Zian appeared, he only said hello to Chi Wang, and the two of them didn't talk anymore, and they didn't know whether it was because the eldest princess was too chatty, or because Zian was avoiding him deliberately.

Fang Xun didn't realize that there was something wrong between the two of them, so he stopped talking, "Let's reminisce about the past, let's continue in the evening, and now, while the sun is still in the sky, let's rob a tomb."

Monks shouldn't be involved in foreign affairs, but Zi'an didn't expect to ask, "Princess, can I accompany you in?"

Brother Fang Xun patted him on the shoulder, "No problem, I already regarded you as a good brother in my heart when I was teaching in Tianshan, come, come, Doctor Xiaochi is also here, there are benefits for everyone to share, hey hey-hey."

Chi Wang glanced at Zian, but neither of them explained anything.

They entered the tomb, and the worker opened the door of the main tomb. Chi Wang glanced at Zi'an beside him. He only concentrated on looking at the tomb door in front of him, without looking at Chi Wang, as if he was restraining something.

Chi Wang knew that it was useless to be nervous at this time, the most important thing was to make a calm judgment, and keep calm until the last moment when the dust settled.

The door of the tomb opened slowly, Fang Xun said: "I have opened the door to vent my breath before, right?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed that there are no organs inside, but we have not touched any funeral objects, princess, please."

The burial of the main tomb was placed on several boxes inlaid with precious stones. The eldest princess put on gloves and went directly to open other people's burial objects without any taboo.

When Fang Xun was tossing, Chi Wang just stood still, and Zi'an next to him looked indifferent, holding a candle lamp in his hand intently, illuminating their surroundings.

"Hey, these gold utensils are heavy and ugly, are they worth much? I don't understand why I carry this with me..."

Fang Xun grabbed an official name tag that was buried with the owner of the tomb, and looked puzzled, "This person is called Wang... What is Wang? I don't know the word, let me see what it is... Well, he is a little instructor, Bei Mu In the early years, he was in charge of teaching local soldiers to practice martial arts at Xiyan Pass."

Chi Wang has excellent eyesight, and when he saw the name of the military officer surnamed Wang, he felt very familiar.After thinking for a while, he remembered this person. This person used to be Zhuanghou's deputy general, and after Zhuanghou's forces were wiped out, he became loyal to Mu Beixi.Mu Beixi accepted his surrender, but he didn't believe him either. In order to prevent him from colluding with Zhuang Hou's old troops in Jiangbei and causing further troubles, he was sent to the outside of Xiyan Pass and given a small position far away, which was regarded as dismissing him .

At that time, Chi Wang did not leave any portraits handed down to the world, except for one. He searched for it for a long time and did not know where it was... Some small details that he hadn't noticed 700 years ago suddenly appeared in his head, one after another.

Chi Wang's heart sank, he frowned, his eyes followed Fang Xun's every move.

Fang Xun muttered, "I just want to find a painting, why isn't it in any of these boxes?"

She rummaged through all the boxes in disappointment, and suddenly turned her eyes to look at the tomb owner's coffin.

The eldest princess has a big heart like a fight, she is really not afraid of ghosts and snakes, and she doesn't ask for help, she just went to open the coffin rashly, she knows martial arts, so she lifted the coffin lid like playing, and directly opened the coffin for others.

Her fierce demeanor obviously shocked everyone. After putting the coffin lid aside, the fearless eldest princess snatched a painting box from the owner of the tomb who had turned into a skeleton.

"This is it, right?" Fang Xun's eyes lit up, and he pulled back the rotten brocade belt on the box, and there was indeed a scroll lying quietly inside.

No one had time to stop her, she acted in a hurry, but her hands and feet were extremely agile, and she completed this series of movements in the blink of an eye.

But when she was about to take out the painting scroll, Zian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped and said, "That painting box is wrong, put it down!"

However it was too late.

A mist formed in Fang Xun's eyes, and within a few breaths, she could no longer see clearly what was in front of her. Before she could panic, she found that her body was also beginning to lose control.

She couldn't hold the painting box. In fact, her legs also began to lose feeling. She could only open her eyes in shock, seeing her body limply falling to the ground uncontrollably.

The painting box fell from Fang Xun's hand to the ground, and the scroll rolled out and spread out on the ground.

The picture scroll slowly unfolded on the ground revealed its true face, as if it had revealed a secret that had been buried in a long time.

The painter's painting skills are superb, and he clearly recorded the face of the person in the painting. There was a faint worried expression between his brows, but it carried a very pitiful style. The person in the painting was sitting on a huge marching map , a heavy dress with only the upper collar slightly unbuttoned, revealing a fair neck and a little part of the shoulders, the appearance is very attractive.

There are great mountains and rivers on the map, but there are beauties on it. This portrait, hidden in the deep meaning of beauties sitting on mountains and rivers, was presented to him after 700 years.

Zian took a deep breath. This is indeed a painting that is wearing all the clothes on the body, but it is still confusing and makes people forget to breathe.But when he saw the seal under the painting, his face darkened instantly.

He looked at the only other person in the tomb who was still conscious.

Chi Wang has fallen to the ground, he can no longer control his body, but he is still stubborn and unwilling to give up, his lips and tongue are too stiff to speak, so he can only silently follow the fainted people standing on the ground with his eyes, but Zian was completely unaffected.

Zi'an's response was to walk to Chi Wang's side and hug his gradually weakened body.

The author has something to say:

Fang Xun: The obscene monk.

Sandstone: The obscene monk!

Chi Wang: Prostitution...you can't be promiscuous in this place, take me out, please.
