Xuanhua Hall.

"This picture was painted five years ago when I was traveling in the mountains and rivers of our Qian country for several months. The painting fully shows the prosperity of our Qian country. Every time I see this painting, I can feel the majesty of our Qian country's mountains and rivers. image."

"Although it is prosperous, it still cannot describe the prosperity of our country."

"My lords, if you feel that there is something wrong with this work, please give me some advice, or if any of you have paintings like this, you can bring them to appreciate with everyone present."

The middle-aged man looked around and looked at the Liguo civil servants present and said loudly, confidently.

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, all the Liguo civil servants showed hesitation, kept silent, and lowered their heads involuntarily. No one dared to answer.

Li Jingyao waited for a long time and found that no one dared to stand up. She turned to look at Xu Zhao, the grand scholar on the left, hoping that he could dampen the spirit of the Qianguo envoy.

But Xu Zhao found that when Li Jingyao looked at him, he also had a troubled look on his face, and quietly shook his head at Li Jingyao.

Seeing this scene, Li Jingyao couldn't help but feel a little angry. She glared at all the civil servants with hatred, and then looked at the painting in the middle-aged man's hand again.

"The paintings you made are indeed extraordinary, but no matter how vast the mountains and rivers of the Qian Kingdom are, they cannot compare to the thousands of miles away from my country."

Li Jingyao pointed at the painting, raised her head and said.

She had already heard the meaning of what the middle-aged man had just said. Now that the matter had come to this, she could only forcefully refute it in order to gain some face for Li Guo.

"That's natural, but please don't misunderstand, Your Highness. I just want to discuss paintings with the literary talents of your country, not to compare which of the two countries is more powerful."

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not fall into the trap of Li Jingyao's words.

Hearing the middle-aged man's rebuttal, Li Jingyao frowned and was speechless for a moment.

"Your Excellency just said that this painting was made by you five years ago?"

At this moment, Li Wuji, who had been drinking alone with his head down, suddenly spoke.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, all the civil servants of Li Kingdom raised their heads and looked at Li Wuji expectantly, hoping to save their lost face.

Li Jingyao also looked at Li Wuji curiously, guessing what Li Wuji would do next.

"That's right. What does this young master have to say?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he raised his head and looked at Li Wuji, and asked loudly.

In fact, what he wanted to see most was for Li Wuji to talk to him, because Li Wuji's appearance completely stole the limelight of the mission, leaving everyone in the cold and on pins and needles.

"I don't have much insight."

"I just feel that Your Excellency has traveled thousands of miles to come to the capital to show off a painting he made five years ago. It can be seen that in these five years, Your Excellency has passed the peak of his accomplishments and there are no more paintings that are worth showing off."

"It has its own form but has lost its charm."

Li Wuji smiled, casually glanced at the painting in the middle-aged man's hand, and said slowly, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.

"you!..."

After hearing Li Wuji's words, the middle-aged man's face instantly became extremely embarrassed, and his face turned red with anger.

When Li Guo's civil servants heard this, they all secretly applauded in their hearts and their faces were filled with excitement. Although Li Wuji did not focus on the painting, these words had completely suppressed the middle-aged man's arrogance. They earned some face.

"This young master, my disciple has just said that he just wants to discuss paintings with everyone here and has no other intention. Why should the young master be so aggressive? Make sarcastic remarks?"

"A person with no official position can come in and out here at will and make such nonsense. Is this the way to treat guests in Liguo?"

At this time, the old man who was the leader of the Qian Kingdom mission finally spoke and looked at Li Wuji with a majestic look on his face, showing dissatisfaction.

After hearing what the old man said, the civil servants of Li Kingdom were stunned for a moment, and they all secretly looked at Tai Qing Li Jingyao, not knowing how to respond.

Li Jingyao frowned and was about to speak, but heard that Li Wuji on the side had already taken the lead.

"It turns out that he is your disciple. I see that you are extraordinary and have a noble demeanor. I wonder what rank you held in the Qian Dynasty? Who is more accomplished than your proud disciple?"

Li Wuji smiled, hugged his fists towards the old man, and asked slowly.

Although he seemed to be polite and considerate, what he just said was completely provoking the old man.

After hearing Li Wuji's words, the old man frowned visibly and his face darkened.

"Sir, I was so happy to see you just now that I forgot to introduce you to you. The person I just spoke to is none other than Shen Qingshan, the head of the Qianguo envoy and the deputy envoy of Wenshu Monastery of Qianguo."

"Wenshu Monastery is the national court of the Qian Kingdom. It is no different from the cabinet of our dynasty. It is the most literary representative place of the Qian Kingdom. There are two envoys, one deputy and one deputy. Senior Shen is the deputy envoy and has a second-rank official position. Even in the literary world of the world, It’s also quite famous.”

Li Jingyao smiled, pointed at the old man, and slowly explained to Li Wuji.

Although her subsequent words praised Shen Qingshan very highly, the first words she spoke had already stepped on Shen Qingshan's feet, making everyone in the Qianguo envoy blush after hearing this.

"Oh, second grade, I thought you must at least be a prince, otherwise how can you show your sincerity to surrender to my country?"

Li Wuji showed a look of sudden realization and said with some disappointment.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Qianguo mission, even the Liguo civil servants on the side were frightened.

But Li Jingyao's eyes lit up and she almost laughed.

Shen Qingshan's face became more and more ugly, but before he could speak, he saw Li Wuji suddenly stood up and walked directly in front of the indignant disciple. He put his hands behind his back and began to look at the painting with an indifferent expression. .

"What advice do you have, Master?!"

The middle-aged man looked at Li Wuji and asked in a deep voice, almost hearing the sound of gnashing of teeth.

"Aren't you comparing paintings? Let's compare them."

"Your Highness, I wonder if you can prepare a scroll with pen and ink."

Li Wuji glanced at the middle-aged man with contempt, then turned to Li Jingyao, cupped his hands, and asked respectfully.

"good!"

"Come here! I will serve you with pen and ink!"

When Li Jingyao heard this, she immediately beamed and said loudly outside the hall.

Not long after he finished speaking, someone came in carrying pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and scrolls, and also carried a huge desk.

After everything was ready, Li Wuji waved his hand, motioning for the middle-aged man to give up his seat, sat directly on the ground, picked up the brush, and began to paint freely on the scroll!

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji who was serious about it, and was full of expectations. He didn't know what Li Wuji was going to do, because he didn't know that Li Wuji understood painting.

The reason why Li Wuji came with the guqin today was actually to use Li Wuji's exquisite piano music to frighten the Qian Kingdom envoys. However, they did not expect that the envoys would start comparing paintings with each other.

However, seeing Li Wuji gradually becoming more serious, Li Jingyao gradually relaxed and looked forward to what kind of painting Li Wuji could create.

Everyone in the hall also became curious. They all raised their heads and looked at the scroll in front of Li Wuji. Some were secretly looking forward to it, and some were secretly praying.

As time went by, Li Wuji's painting was coming to an end, but the face of the closest disciple of Shen Qingshan became increasingly ugly, and finally he was almost stunned.

"ok!"

After burning the incense, Li Wuji shouted, rolled up his sleeves with satisfaction, put down his brush, stood up slowly, and looked proudly at the middle-aged man standing aside.

"How does it compare with what you did?"

Li Wuji pointed at his painting, asked lightly with a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man was pale and speechless, looking straight at the painting on the desk, no longer as arrogant as before.

The people sitting on both sides stood up without knowing why, slowly approached the table, looked at the painting, and then everyone's eyes widened in surprise!

"Young Master Wuji is truly an astonishing literary talent! It's hard to find him in the world!"

"I'm afraid it would be difficult for God to reproduce this kind of painting even if he came down to earth!"

Amidst a burst of exclamation, Li Jingyao stood up quickly and quickly came closer. After seeing the painting, she opened her mouth in disbelief. She was no longer just happy, but showed excitement on her face.

Looking at Shen Qingshan again, he froze on the spot as soon as he stood up. Even the courage to step forward to argue had completely dissipated, and various emotions flashed across his face in an instant.

There is shock, doubt, shame, and reluctance.
