You rascal, stop right there!

At this moment, Bai Wan was like a pissed-off scoundrel, angrily saying:

"Tomorrow I'll draw you a pair of frog eyes so you can see all kinds of insects..."

He gritted his teeth and threw the pillow over, knocking Chen Xingyi out of the tent.

Ling Shumo skillfully got out of bed to pick it up, gently dusted it off and brought it back.

"This is a tent pillow. If it breaks, you have to pay for it."

Bai Wan said angrily: "I don't have any money, you have to pay!"

"Okay, I'll compensate you. Do you want to smash it again?" Ling Shumo smiled faintly.

Bai Wan raised his eyebrows and said with a fake smile: "Then let me bite it again?"

He really doesn't want to suffer any loss at all.

"You—"

Knowing that the man was joking, Ling Shumo had no choice but to rub his shoulders to comfort him.

So, Bai Wan leaned over to pick up the pillow and put it away. After examining it carefully, he said to himself:

"The patterns are complex and colorful, with dragons and phoenixes, so it must belong to the Xuanli royal family. Has the coalition forces already looted the palace?"

"You're the only one in this world who would notice something like this..."

Ling Shumo pulled it into his arms and sighed again and again.

During the few days that Bai Wan was recuperating, Xuanli had already been flattened by the joint forces of the two countries.

The Xuanli clan was completely purged, and tens of thousands of people died from the plague, almost wiping out the clan.

The tragedy of their country's demise was more than ten times greater than their victory.

All the gold, silver, jewelry, and brocade items were seized and distributed and sent back to Lingyu and Daqing.

Cause and effect, reincarnation, everything is just like the big win back then.

Bai Wan gazed out at the dust outside the tent, her tone slightly melancholy, "I thought I would be very happy to know that Xuanli's country had fallen..."

The small powder booklet at hand was filled with pictures of the miserable conditions of the refugees in the charity cemetery at that time when Xuanli was there.

Witnessed it with my own eyes, and was powerless to do anything…

Ling Shumo hugged him and slowly lowered his head: "The hatred of losing our country will never end, but we are human beings after all!"

As a human being, you will not be completely without any emotions or touch.

If one sees life and death without being moved, he is a stone.

Having said that, Ling Shumo handed him the half dice with a red dot.

You can guess what happened at a glance...

In this life, we may meet briefly and never see each other again.

Bai Wan looked at the half dice and smiled in a daze.

"Why do people fight wars..."

Yes--

why……

Afterwards, Bai Wan insisted on drinking wine but was stopped by Ling Shumo and had water instead.

Spending a night painting freely is like closing a door.

Ling Shumo just watched and didn't stop him.

When he stopped painting "Feast, Hunting, and War", he heard Bai Wan whisper in his ear:

“I’ve painted everything in the world, but suddenly I don’t know what I want to paint anymore?”

Later, she fell asleep in Ling Shumo's arms.

Like a curled-up cotton hedgehog...

Ling Shumo kissed his forehead and rubbed it slowly: "It's not that you don't know, but you think too much..."

……

From the pier where three rivers meet, you can return home by following the river.

General Pan Ying prepared a small boat for them. It was an official ship of Yanzhou and was convenient and fast.

Luo Wenqi and others followed the boatman onto the boat and learned that the necessary medicine and food had been prepared.

After everyone was on board, Bai Wan was stopped.

"Han Huasheng, Emperor Qing has decreed that you have rendered great service to the state and shall be given the title of the greatest Huasheng in the world."

The young eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict said.

The world's number one painting saint?

What's so rare about such false reputation?

It’s better to give him ten thousand taels of gold!

Bai Wan smiled disdainfully and was about to lift his clothes to get on the boat.

The young eunuch continued to be stopped and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty's intention is to have you lead the other artists in painting 'Tasting Beauty', adding another chapter to the story of the victory over the Xuanli Kingdom."

"What does it mean to taste beautiful pictures?" Bai Wan asked sideways.

"Well..."

The young eunuch raised his eyebrows.

After Xuanli destroyed the country, some of the original royal family women were presented to Ling Dayu's army, and some were taken back to Daqing.

Everything that the winning woman had suffered back then, history has come back again.

Emperor Qing Song Yuanshan knew that Han Miaoran was famous and wanted him to paint a picture to humiliate Empress Xuanli, so that the cruel testimony could be recorded in history.

Painters all over the world now admire Han Miaoran very much, and it is right so.

Bai Wan followed his gaze.

Not far from the boat, there were many women who had been abused, and next to them was a painter writing furiously.

Among them, the one wearing a long dress with golden piping is the queen of the new emperor Xuanli.

"No painting!"

He simply refused.

The young eunuch didn't expect to be rejected so easily.

"Han Huasheng, don't you want to be the world's number one painting saint?! Are you going to disobey my order?!"

Bai Wan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Does it mean that if Xuan Li did something like a beast, we should do the same thing?"

This is a matter of course, but many people do not agree with it.

"If Han Huasheng doesn't agree, then this ship won't be able to return to Daqing!"

The young eunuch pinched his throat and coughed twice in an artificial manner.

Luo Wenqi went over and kicked the young eunuch several times.

"Hey, what's up with you? Xiaobai clearly quit his painting job a long time ago and helped so many captives return home, but he still refuses to paint unless it's in accordance with the imperial decree?!"

"You... you dare to insult a palace eunuch! Someone, arrest him!"

The young eunuch felt that he could die of suffocation, and that Chen Xingyi and Guo Yuanmin next to him were no match for him.

Swah——

One piece fell down.

Bai Wan slashed at him fiercely: "Han, stay here and let them go."

Then he took the initiative to walk down to the deck.

"Hey, Xiaobai, what are you talking about!" Luo Wenqi shouted.

"Boss!!!"

After a long while, Bai Wan finally said calmly and solemnly: "Is it true that as long as they paint 'Tasting Beauty', they can return home safely?!"

He turned around dejectedly, cursing:

"Stupid boatman, why don't you start the boat?"

The man at the bow was caught off guard and hurriedly took the helm, causing the boat to slide several meters.

Only then did he realize that there was a person in green standing behind him.

The simplest blue clothes are full of elegance and grace.

"Ling must stay too!"
