I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court
Chapter 137 Encouragement from Leonardo da Vinci
Soon, Ning Ning and his party officially set off.
When Ning Ning came, she sneaked in under the name of a dance troupe. She was stopped when she arrived in the capital, and Shang Wenqi took her into the city on a fast horse.
Now, she could ride in the royal carriage and leave the city comfortably.
The driver was still the familiar driver Xiao Meng.
These days, Xiao Meng has been doing almost all the work in and out of Kyoto. Xiao Meng is a nice person. He smiles innocently at everyone he meets and looks harmless.
But last time on the way back from Furong Garden, a wild boar escaped from the market. Many big men tried to catch it with ropes but were thrown away. Ning Ning saw with her own eyes that Xiao Meng whipped the wild boar with a horsewhip until it was stunned.
You can imagine how amazing his arm strength is.
So Ning Ning never dared to underestimate him again.
No, it should be said that in this ancient time when the military power was off the charts, anyone who could serve as a death warrior was not weak, not to mention the carefully selected Qingyun Left Cavalry.
Don't be fooled by their honest appearance.
Of course, the happiest person in this team is Zhou Mingyu. After all, he has been learning sketching with Ning Ning for a while, from the initial shaping to the relationship between light and dark, and the mastery of the space of points, lines and surfaces. Now he has begun to draw still lifes, such as fruits, animals and so on.
Soon we reach the outline of the character.
To sum it up, it is the critical stage of learning. This is why Shang Wenqi brought Zhou Mingyu along as well, mainly because he didn't want him to give up painting halfway.
It was not until later that Ning Ning found out that Zhou Mingyu was in charge of a special branch of the Qingyun Left Cavalry, Tingsong Pavilion.
As the name suggests, the true meaning of Tingsong Pavilion lies in listening, which is the intelligence agency of Qingyun Zuoqi.
However, it can be seen from previous cooperation that Tingsongge's technology is just average.
Come to think of it, in ancient times there was no sky eye, no surveillance, no radar scanning, everything was based on hearsay, or secret investigation.
However, the authenticity of the information obtained in this way is definitely less than that, and it will be further distorted when it is passed on to others through calligraphy and painting.
For example, if someone with poor drawing skills were to draw the appearance of this wanted criminal, the result would definitely be very different and the efficiency of handling the case would be greatly reduced.
This is also the reason why Shang Wenqi spent a lot of money to let Zhou Mingyu learn it after seeing Ning Ning's sketching.
It can only be said that Shang Wenqi is worthy of being the commander-in-chief. His desire to optimize the team at this moment is indeed incomparable to ordinary people.
But Ning Ning had already taken over a gold shop from him, so naturally he would not be passive and lazy.
In modern times, even if a national treasure-level master came to teach sketching, it is impossible for him to charge a gold shop as tuition, let alone someone like her who changed her career late, which would simply create a record high in tuition fees.
Of course, she didn't dare tell anyone for fear of being reported as a shady shop.
And just like that, the pleasant journey to Minzhou in the west began.
Except for Ning Ning who rode in a carriage, Shang Wenqi and the others all rode fast horses. Even Xiaohai's brother Zhou Mingyu rode a big horse. Others had to pay attention to the road conditions when riding horses, but he simply tied the reins to the window frame of Ning Ning's carriage.
Anyway, the carriage was moving slowly and the horse would move slowly while being pulled by the carriage, so he could free his hands to paint seriously.
Of course, Zhou Mingyu was obsessed with painting not only because he appreciated the craft, but also because Ning Ning told him a story about a painter.
Once upon a time, there was a young painter who was very ordinary in his painting. In order to improve his skills, he kept painting eggs. He painted eggs every day, without fail. Until one day, he painted the eggs so well that it was difficult to tell the real from the fake. Then he became a great painter known to everyone in the world.
His name is Beethoven…uh, no, Leonardo da Vinci.
Zhou Mingyu was suspicious, thinking that he had never heard of this master's name.
Ning Ning replied calmly: "That is a legend from the Western Regions, similar to the celebrity stories here, it is not alive in the present."
Zhou Mingyu realized it, and from then on he painted eggs every day without fail.
Seeing how diligent this student was, Ning Ning had a feeling that his painting skills would soon surpass hers.
Their team still took the same route that Ning Ning had taken before. They still had to pass through Henan Prefecture and Fengxiang Prefecture, but in order to avoid bandits, they took a detour through Qizhou and went down to Xingyuan Prefecture.
There is no need for that this time. Just take the official road straight to Qizhou, then go down to Qinzhou, and then you can reach Minzhou.
It would take 15 days by fast horse to reach the destination by the official road, but it would take 20 days by slow carriage. The last time they walked for more than a month before reaching Kyoto, it was really a difficult journey when they thought about it.
The road from Kyoto to Henan Prefecture is still very lively, with a constant stream of people walking on the road.
However, everyone was very discerning. When they saw Qingyun riding these ten fine horses, they knew that he must be rich or noble, so they all gave way.
During these two days they traveled during the day and stayed at post stations or nearby inns at night. Their lives were very comfortable.
Just as they were about to reach Henan Prefecture, Shang Wenqi suddenly stopped the team.
Ning Ning was eating ice cream in the carriage. When she heard Shang Wenqi call for a stop, she was so scared that she immediately threw the ice cream into the storage room. Then she opened the curtain with a panicked look on her face: "What's going on?"
Shang Wenqi didn't answer her, but walked quickly to the back of the carriage.
Ning Ning couldn't help but lean half of her body outside to observe what was happening.
Shang Wenqi was seen walking towards the end of the team with big strides.
Speaking of this, we have to mention that traveling long distances in ancient times was a very risky thing, so lone rangers or weak ordinary people would choose to follow behind some large carts or large groups. One reason was that following a large group would give them courage, and the other was that the villains on the road would not dare to attack these people, so danger could be avoided to a certain extent.
Although Shang Wenqi and his entourage did not wear court robes, everyone carried a sword, and their horses were shiny, smooth, fat and strong. It was obvious that they were martial artists, and the sense of security was overwhelming.
Therefore, during these two days, many people followed me.
Shang Wenqi and his men didn't mind giving convenience to the common people, so they didn't drive them away along the way.
But now Shang Wenqi suddenly walked towards those people, and Ning Ning couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Is there something wrong with these people?
Just as Ning Ning opened her eyes wide to look, Shang Wenqi's hand suddenly grabbed from the crowd and pulled out a slender figure.
Originally Zhou Mingyu and his companions were already on guard around the carriage. When they saw the person Shang Wenqi had captured, they paused for a moment, then their faces changed drastically and they immediately rushed over.
“???” Ning Ning looked at the eight people running towards that direction at the same time in confusion.
Just now I was being treated like a star by everyone, and the next moment, all these guys ran away?
What's going on?
Ning Ning was speechless and planned to get off the car to look outside, then she found that Xiao Meng was still in the carriage.
Ning Ning was immediately touched: "Xiao Meng, you are indeed reliable."
