Chapter 127 Redemption
And Hei Mudan, who watched the painting leave, was full of reluctance. She hadn't seen enough, hadn't looked at it carefully, so she just took it away.
The charcoal pencil was not easy to use, and it was black with one hand. Niu Youdao went to the small room to wash his hands, and when he came out, he saw that the black peony was still in a daze, so he couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you really like this painting."
He reckoned that he should also like it. Now that he saw Black Peony's reaction, he felt more at ease.
Hei Mudan looked at him with an extremely gentle look, and said the same words, "Master Dao, are you really giving it to me?"
Niu Youdao: "The painting is about you, who else will I give it to if I don't give it to you? To Old Xiong or for me to keep it?"
Without saying a word, Hei Mudan walked to the side and unsealed the wine sent by the buddy, poured a glass of wine, held it with both hands, and said everything without saying a word.
Niu Youdao raised his glass and asked seriously: "If this painting is not given to you, but sold to you, would you buy one hundred thousand gold coins?"
Hei Mudan was stunned for a moment, nodded, then shook his head and said, "I can't afford one hundred thousand gold coins. If I have money, I will definitely buy it."
Yuan Fang curled his lips, thinking that Black Peony was sycophanting. This painting is good-looking, but who would spend 100,000 gold coins to buy this thing? It’s almost as good as a sick mind. He might think about it for 10 gold coins, but 100,000 gold coins is impossible!
Speaking of this, Hei Mudan seemed to understand what Niu Youdao said earlier about 'what does it mean to make money', and asked in doubt, "Master Dao, do you want to make money by painting?"
"Make money by painting?" Niu Youdao laughed dumbly.
If Huahua can change the minds of monkeys and old bears, if Huahua can make the Song family give up their hatred, if Huahua can solve all troubles, he doesn't mind.
However, this thing can only make people who have never seen it fresh for a while. Things to watch are things to watch after all. When facing benefits, a painting may not be as attractive as a bowl of rice. Shaking his head and laughing: "I don't perform art!"
As soon as the inn clerk went out, he quickly came to the lobby of the inn, and went directly into the counter, "Shopkeeper, take a look."
"What?" The shopkeeper was puzzled, and stared at the picture scroll he had spread out. After seeing the contents clearly, he was stunned for a moment, "Is this Black Peony?"
I can recognize who is painting at a glance. The key is that the painting is too realistic, and it is completely different from the ink painting that shows the hazy artistic conception.
"That's right." The guy nodded.
The shopkeeper took the painting in his hands, his eyes lit up, he looked at it and wondered, "What kind of painting is this? Where did it come from?"
"The guest in Room Yizi painted Black Peony. I saw it with my own eyes when I brought the wine in. I took a piece of charcoal as a brush and scribbled it on the paper..." The clerk explained what he saw in detail, explaining that the guest asked him to frame it. After speaking, he tried to ask, "Do you want to show this new thing to the back?"
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, he carefully rolled up the scroll, and ordered: "There is no rush to frame it, you just watch here, and I will see the manager."
"Okay!" The guy nodded.
The shopkeeper took the painting and quickly left the counter, and walked quickly to the castle behind the inn...
In the garden, Huang Engui and his younger brother Cui Yuan wandered around, looking around, looking for targets.
There should be the room number registered by the target at the counter, but the two dare not ask, and they will not tell them if they ask the counter, so they can only search slowly.
After searching for a long time, there was no clue, and it was impossible for the two of them to knock on the door one at a time. If they really did that, they would be followed by Yaoyue Inn immediately.
The target must be going out, and the two were about to wait at the door of the inn, when Cui Yuan suddenly touched Huang Enping's arm.
Huang Enping looked in the direction he indicated, and through the gap between the trees, the two saw Lei Zongkang coming out of a room on the opposite upper floor, and opened the door to enter the next room.
"Go, go find him." Huang Enping, who had written down the room, greeted in a low voice.
Cui Yuan stopped him, "Senior brother, it's not right to come to the door directly, isn't the uncle not to let you startle the snake?"
Huang Enping stared at the room and said: "Since they hugged the man's thigh, they didn't even have the least politeness. They didn't even knock on the door. The owner should not be in the room, so I just asked him to confirm the news."
Cui Yuan nodded, agreeing with his point of view.
The two then left the garden, went up to the opposite building, looked around, and approached the door of the room where Lei Zongkang disappeared.
As he slowly approached, Huang Enping suddenly opened the door and entered while no one was paying attention. Cui Yuan followed and quickly entered and closed the door.
Inside the house, Lei Zongkang was standing in front of the window facing the window, his thoughts drifted, he was a little worried about Black Peony's decision, the Daoist's behavior in the city today did not look like a knowledgeable person, how could he seem to have any background?
Last night, he asked for two more rooms. He, Duan Hu, and Wu Sanliang were three together, and there was one person alone. He lived in one room by himself, and it would not be appropriate to share a room with Hei Mudan, a lonely man and a widow. He was in the room of Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang just now, and he talked about this matter with them. After getting to know each other, they also felt that the Daoist didn't seem like someone with any background, but they still decided to believe in Black Peony. We have been together for so many years, we know each other well, and I believe that Black Peony will not do anything to harm them.
Lei Zongkang's original intention was to persuade Wu Sanliang and Duan Hu to join him in persuading Black Mudan. It is too late to regret some things now, but it will be too late to regret when they are caught in it. As a result, the attitude of the two made him a little disappointed.
For so many years, it is impossible for a few people to agree on everything, and there are times when they disagree on a certain issue. Generally, the minority obeys the majority. Since Wu Sanliang and Duan Hu had such an attitude, it was difficult for him to say anything more.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Black Peony, but he thinks everyone's decision is a bit too reckless and hasty.
There was a sudden sound of opening the door from behind, Lei Zongkang thought it was Duan Hu and others, but when he looked back, he was stunned.
Before he could speak, Huang Enping made a silent gesture to him, kept a certain safe distance from him, and expressed that he had no malicious intentions. At the same time, he lowered his voice and declared: "Lei Zongkang, don't worry, we won't mess around in Yaoyue Inn."
Lei Zongkang said in surprise, "Master Huang and Master Cui came here suddenly, what advice do you have?"
Huang Enping: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you something, ask you something."
Although the other party showed Qiu's innocent attitude, Lei Zongkang still didn't dare to approach, and said suspiciously: "Master Huang, it's okay to say."
Huang Enping: "I heard that you have found someone to recommend you as a guarantee?"
When it came to this, Lei Zongkang couldn't help but smile wryly, "It's a bit of a misunderstanding, it's not what it looks like outside, he didn't promise any recommendation or guarantee."
Huang Enping immediately asked, "What's that man's name?"
Lei Zongkang didn't know why he cared about this, it seemed like nothing to talk about, so he replied: "Xuanyuan Dao!"
"Xuanyuan Dao... Dao..." Huang Enping muttered, and looked at Cui Ping with deep meaning in his eyes, and asked again: "Do you know where and what sect you come from?"
Lei Zongkang shook his head: "I don't know! Master Huang, I'm not lying to you. He didn't reveal anything about his background. No one on our side can figure it out."
After exchanging glances with Cui Ping again, Huang Enping walked slowly to the chair and sat down, sighing slowly, "I think you guys are really impatient, and dare to oppose our Liuxianzong."
Lei Zongkang was surprised, "Master Huang, why did you say that? When have we not been respectful to your Liuxianzong, and have we ever been against you?"
Huang Enping: "Are you really ignorant of that person's background, or are you pretending not to know?"
Lei Zongkang sensed something in the other party's words, "I really don't know, does Huang Ye have any advice?"
"This person is not Xuanyuan Dao at all. Xuanyuan Dao is a pseudonym. His real name is Niu Youdao. His real identity is the abandoned disciple of the Shang Qingzong of the Yan Kingdom. He killed the grandson of Lord Tingwei of the Yan Kingdom..." Huang Enping briefly explained the disadvantages of Niu Youdao.
Lei Zongkang was terrified when he heard that, no wonder he thought that Daoist was a little abnormal, if what the other party said was true, then he was really against Liuxianzong, Liuxianzong was not something they could afford, he hurriedly said: "We really don't know about this matter, we have nothing to do with him..." He emphasized the fact that he just promised to follow, and finally stated repeatedly, "Don't worry, Huang Ye, I will immediately greet Hei Mudan and others when I turn around, and immediately break away from him. We will never dare to go against Liuxianzong! "
Huang Enping sneered, "Being involved in this matter, let you go forward and retreat as soon as you say you want? It's really urgent to go to the doctor, and you don't even think about how big a deal it is to kill the envoy of the Yan Kingdom. Can the Yan Kingdom let him go? Even the king of Yongping County, Shang Chaozong, was afraid of avoiding him and abandoned him. Fortunately, you are still rushing forward. You really are not afraid of death!"
Lei Zongkang felt like breaking out in a cold sweat, "Master Huang..."
Huang Enping raised his hand to interrupt, "Since I have found the door, since I can sit down and talk to you about this matter, I am not here to find fault. You and I have no grievances, not to mention that you have just met him and have not done anything for him. I don't have to make things difficult for you, but this matter can be over after you say it."
Lei Zongkang hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Master Huang, I still hope to give some advice."
Huang Enping said calmly: "You know the rules of Zhaixing City. The guests staying at the Yueyue Inn, we don't want to move around, and we don't want to make people slip away. Do you understand?"
Lei Zongkang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he understood that he wanted to let this side help to keep an eye on him. He nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang. I will immediately notify a few of my accomplices to help Liu Xianzong to keep an eye on him and make amends!"
Huang Enping waved his hand: "Hei Mudan would actually agree to such a thing, and I don't know what kind of drug that guy gave Hei Mudan. This beast is very cunning, and it can be seen that he has escaped from pursuit many times. I don't want any more accidents. You just need to know about this. Don't let Hei Mudan and the others know about it for now. The more people know, the easier it is to be discovered. Don't worry. luck."
