The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 554

"Save me? Why did you save me? What is your purpose?" Guo Zhen was not delighted by this answer. Instead, he was puzzled and even suspicious.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Zhang Jin smiled slightly.

Why save Guo Zhen?Of course, it was because Shen Lian wanted to present the main plot, so that the other party would not be caught in this conspiracy. He was both investigating the truth and hunting down.

If it wasn't forced by the situation, he believed that Shen Lian would not be foolish enough to take the initiative to get involved. The other party knows the truth of protecting oneself.

In the movie where Shen Lian and Ling Yunkai were ordered to kill Beizhai, Shen Lian's psychology changed several times.

The first change was to accept a task in the Yamen. He was curious about Beizhai's identity, so he followed him, but he didn't want to save him.

The second change was when I saw the other party at Beizhai's residence, and found out that it was the girl who borrowed an umbrella to support me that day. I couldn't bear it, but I still didn't want to save her.

The third change was when he saw that Ling Yunkai wanted to insult Beizhai, he couldn't bear to add disdain, so he stepped forward to stop Ling Yunkai, hoping that Beizhai's death would be easier.

The fourth change is that after Ling Yunkai was stopped by him, he felt angry and wanted to slander him on the book of impermanence.He was afraid that the other party's conspiracy would succeed, so he fought to destroy the book of impermanence.

The fifth change was that he subdued Ling Yunkai, but the other party moved out of Wei Zhongxian, and was escaped by the other party after a moment of hesitation.Facing the violent Ling Yunkai, he accidentally killed someone in a moment of desperation.

Shen Lian rescued Beizhai by accident, rather than planning to wade into this muddy water from the beginning.After all these years in Jinyiwei, he has long known that following orders and not making troubles is the way to save his life.

Shen Lian is not some kind of knight-errant who is eager for justice, but just an ordinary person who has been in Jinyiwei and only wants to live a peaceful life in this late Ming Dynasty.

"Shengzao seven-level pagoda?" Guo Zhen sneered disdainfully, "Since your Excellency doesn't want to say it, I won't force it. I'll pretend I haven't seen you today, and I'll leave!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhang Jin shouted at his back: "Eunuch Guo must think about it when he goes back. It's a matter of life and death, but you can't get away with it!"

Guo Zhen turned his head and glared at him, then glanced at the eunuch who was approaching, and said viciously: "If anyone goes back and chews his tongue, he should find a hole and bury himself!"

Several eunuchs quickly lowered their heads, silent like cicadas!

Zhang Jin watched Guo Zhen leave, and he also left Beihai Yuyuan.He didn't need to guess what the other party would choose. No one would think that he lost his life in vain.

After meeting with Guo Zhen in the afternoon, Zhang Jin went back to the yamen to be taken off work, and invited the general and small banners under him to have a sumptuous dinner together. .

After returning home, Zhang Jin put away his pretended drunkenness, took a bath with boiling water to remove all the smell of alcohol from his body, then changed into a black outfit and rushed to Jinyiwei's office.

On the willow shoots on the moon, there are few stars.

A group of patrolling guards had just passed by the document library of the Jinyiwei, when a black shadow flew in from outside the wall without a sound.

Zhang Jin lightly landed on the wall and looked around at the scene.Due to time constraints, he did not conduct a detailed investigation of the copy library, but relying on his own ability, he still found the warehouse of the copy library without much effort.

He came to the door of the warehouse, used the tools he had prepared to pry open the door with his lockpicking proficiency, followed the location of the movie plot in his memory to the left side of the file shelf, and found the "Treasure Ship Supervision Minutes" ".

"It's really easy to get things at hand."

Zhang Jin flipped through it casually, and sure enough, he saw the evidence recorded on it, then put away the "Treasure Ship Supervision Minutes", turned and left the warehouse.

This time he came and went very smoothly, and he didn't have the unlucky encounter with Zhang Zhang like Shen Lian.Even if he meets the other party, he can solve it without any effort.

After returning home from the archives, Zhang Jin stuffed the "Treasure Ship Supervision Minutes" under his pillow.He didn't intend to hide it, after all, it would be safer to hide it by his side.

On the next day, Zhang Jin went to Dian Mao Xun Street in Jinyiwei Qianhu as usual in the morning. In the afternoon, he changed his clothes and went to the pavilion on the back mountain of Yong'an Temple to fulfill the agreement with Miaoxuan.

The time agreed by the two was at the beginning of Weimo Shenchu, that is, around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Jin came to the gazebo on the back mountain of Yong'an Temple, dressed in white clothes as before. Today's weather is cloudy and windy, and there is little sunshine, so it feels cool to rest under the pavilion in the forest in the mountain.

With nothing to do, he sat in the gazebo and entertained himself while playing the flute while waiting for Miaoxuan to arrive.

In a courtyard in the capital, Miaoxuan was packing up the tools for painting in the room. After packing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he was about to go out, but he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and a heroic figure walked in.

"Master Ding?" Miaoxuan looked at the visitor with some surprise.

Ding Baiying's eyes shifted from her face to the bag in her hand: "Where is Miss Beizhai going?"

Miaoxuan explained: "I am going to the pavilion on the mountain behind Yong'an Temple, and I made an appointment with a friend to make a painting for him there."

"Oh." Ding Baiying nodded.

"Master Ding is looking for me for something?" Miaoxuan asked.

Ding Baiying said: "Duke Ming asked you to send a letter to Guo Zhen in the name of Beizhai, inviting him to have a banquet at the Jinling Tower in Mingshifang tonight."

"Tonight? Tonight is the Ghost Festival!" Miaoxuan said in surprise.

"Yes, it's the Ghost Festival tonight." Ding Baiying didn't explain anything, but emphasized it.

Miaoxuan is quite smart after all, knowing not to ask what should not be asked, so he nodded: "I know, I will do it."

"That's good." After Ding Baiying finished speaking, she turned around and left, but when she stepped out of the threshold, she paused for a while, her face turned away and she hesitated to speak, and in the end she left without saying anything.

Miaoxuan stood on the spot with the bundle in his hands and pondered for a while, then shook his head, and followed him out.

Half an hour later, Miaoxuan, who came belatedly, came to the back mountain of Yong'an Temple with his luggage, and before he got close to the gazebo, he heard a melodious and melodious flute sound from a distance.

She got closer and closer, and through the gaps between the bamboo forest and flowers, she could vaguely see the white clothes sitting sideways in the pavilion, holding a hole flute, just like the first time she saw it two or three days ago.

Let's play a song.

"It's nice! It's a song I've never heard before. It's mellow and lingering, as if two people in love are talking to each other. What's its name?" Miaoxuan asked while standing outside the pavilion with a bundle in her arms.

"A beautiful myth." Zhang Jin laughed.

"A beautiful myth? What kind of story is it telling, can you tell me about it?" Miaoxuan asked with great interest.

"It's a love story about a general of the Qin Dynasty and a foreign princess. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you while you're painting." Zhang Jin said.

Miaoxuan put the burden on the wooden table in the pavilion, smiled happily: "Okay, I like listening to stories the most."

As she said that, she quickly unpacked the package, took out all the pens, inks, papers, inkstones, and paints inside, placed them on the table one by one, and then began to grind the seasoning.

It took a stick of incense before everything was ready. Miaoxuan chose an angle for Zhang Jin to sit down against the pillar of the gazebo, and began to observe and conceive the layout of the painting.

Usually, she seldom draws this type of paintings, but she can't help but want to paint as a souvenir because of the feeling of that song.

Zhang Jin didn't urge him, instead, he sometimes looked at Miaoxuan, sometimes at the clear water surface of the river and stream outside the pavilion, the green mountains and green waters, the beauty of the gazebo, and the fresh air, it was so pleasant!
After Miaoxuan conceived the layout, he began to paint with a brush, and said at the same time: "I have a small request, can Brother Zhang play the song from that day again?"

"No problem." Zhang Jin smiled.After finishing speaking, he raised the flute in his hand and began to play the song "Love is as light as you".

Listening to the melodious and melodious flute music, Miaoxuan quickly entered the state of painting, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and the tip of the pen fell on the paper to gently outline the outline of the whole painting.

A piece of music was played very quickly, Zhang Jin glanced at Miaoxuan who was concentrating on painting, twirled the hole flute a few times in his hand, and began to play it on his own.

He hadn't had a good time before. To be honest, in the real world, there was rarely a place for him to play flute music casually. Even if he was out of tune, no one would hear it, and no matter how loud he would be, no one would complain.

Zhang Jin intends to take this opportunity to have a good time. Anyway, he is idle now, like the original scenery of his hometown, the dawn of a hero, and the elegance of a thousand years. Played it again.

After not practicing for a long time, there are naturally many flaws, but anyway, the only audience can't tell whether it is out of tune, which makes Zhang Jin more relaxed and more comfortable in playing, and he is more proficient in controlling fingering and breathing, and the music he plays is even more beautiful!

After blowing, his mouth became a little dry, and when he was about to stop to drink, Zhang Jin realized that Miaoxuan, who was painting at the side, seemed to be fascinated by listening. A brush was hanging on the painting, and the ink dripped a few ink stains on the paper. But she didn't realize it.

"Ahem! Miss Beizhai? You're back to your senses!" Zhang Jin coughed lightly, lifted the flute and shook it in front of her eyes.

"Ah? It's over!" Miaoxuan suddenly came back to his senses, and his originally distracted eyes immediately focused on him, with a bit of surprise, "These songs are unheard of, and you wrote them all yourself?"

"It doesn't matter who wrote it, you can't possibly know Miss Beizhai anyway." Zhang Jin smiled.

Miaoxuan felt a little lost, and said regretfully: "It seems that he is an expert outside the world, so it's a pity that we can't meet each other. It's a good thing to live in seclusion in the mountains and fields in such a world, and it's a good thing to spend your love on the mountains and rivers, so as to save yourself from being persecuted by the eunuchs."

She suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she couldn't help looking at Zhang Jin nervously.

Zhang Jin changed the subject and said, "Is your painting finished?"

"It's still a bit short. It's basically finished. I was distracted just now, and the picture was damaged by ink stains. Forget it, I'll make a new painting after I go back." Miaoxuan looked down at his painting, and licked his lips. lips, seeming annoyed and helpless at his distraction.

The two rested for a while, drank tea and chatted.

Zhang Jin told Miaoxuan the mythical story of Meng Yi and Yu Shu, but changed the modern background of the story to the Song Dynasty.

After listening to the story, Miaoxuan's red eyes were very emotional and she wanted to cry. She took a deep breath and said with emotion: "I didn't expect there to be such a story about unofficial history. I really envy General Mengyi and Princess Yushu. The time spanning thousands of years has not erased their love for each other!"

"It's not unofficial history, it should be just a story."

"Unofficial history is still a story. It doesn't matter which is true or which is false. What matters is the emotion expressed in the story. Nothing can be more true than emotion." Miaoxuan shook his head.

After the break, Miaoxuan continued to perfect the painting. Except for the vacant ink stains, she drew out the rest of the painting with pen and ink. A pair of ink paintings of landscapes, pavilions, white clothes and flute were presented on the paper bit by bit.

Zhang Jin stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that the composition is really beautiful, and the artistic conception of the ink landscape painting is profound. Although the villain representing himself in the painting only looks sideways, but with the scenery of the picture, it gives people the image of the most handsome guy in the world Feel!
"Brother Zhang, what do you think of my painting?" Miaoxuan asked after putting down his pen.

Zhang Jin expressed his praise, and also pointed out the shortcomings: "Okay, very good! Only the side profile and side face are not enough to reflect one-tenth of the demeanor of a handsome man like me."

"..." Miaoxuan froze for a moment when he heard the words, then lowered his eyebrows and tilted his head, pursed his lips and smiled secretly.

After a while, she said: "After I go back, I will re-transcribe and draw on new paper, and then re-draw the areas damaged by the ink stains in the middle. After completing the whole painting, I will hand it over to Brother Zhang."

"Okay, let's meet here again in a few days." Zhang Jin said.

"Well, that's for sure."

Listening to music, painting, and chatting, the time soon came to the evening.

As the sun sets, the afterglow slantly sprinkles on the shadows of leaves among the bamboos, and also casts a layer of shiny orange on the river and stream outside the pavilion.

Miaoxuan still remembered the task Ding Baiying gave her before going out, so she packed up the paintings and tools, and prepared to go back to deliver a letter to Guo Zhen.

"It's getting late, and we're going back to the capital together." Zhang Jin reached out and picked up the other party's bag of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. It was natural for him to reach out for things when he spoke, which is a normal male gentleman's behavior in future generations.

However, in Miaoxuan's view, it surprised her a little. The two of them had only met on both sides, and they were not even friends. Not the slightest bit of unruly heart.

Zhang Jin didn't notice anything wrong, because his mind had already been put on the matter of going to Jinling Tower at night.

Although Guo Zhen would definitely spare his life, he was really not sure if the other party would take a gamble.If the other party bet that the king and Lu Wenzhao would not kill him to silence him, and still went to Jinling Tower, then he must still save the other party's life.

Zhang Jin and Miaoxuan returned to the capital together. They bid farewell near Dongzhimen and went home separately.

Changing back into the flying fish suit, Zhang Jin first went to the yamen to sign, then went home and changed into casual clothes, and then stepped into the lobby of Jinling Building in Mingshifang before the last ray of afterglow disappeared before dark.

As soon as he entered the Jinling Tower, Zhang Jin was keenly aware of several eyes sweeping over him. He pretended to be nonchalant and sat down at an empty table, looked around, and raised his hand towards the person who was leaning against The shop assistant with no eyesight at the counter beckoned: "Little Er, why are you in a daze, why don't you come over to greet me!"

Naturally, the waiter is not the real waiter, but Ding Baiying's men in disguise. In order to kill Guo Zhen and make trouble, they have already quietly taken down the shop.

Not only are the shop guys tricking, even the customers are pretended by them.

In the entire Jinling Building, Zhang Jin is the only outsider!
