"It turned out to be Father-in-law Xu, I have seen Father-in-law Xu, I don't know where my joy comes from?" Shen Yan took two steps to meet him slightly, and stopped when he was almost two meters away from Xu Sanyuan, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly.

"Lord Shen, this is a test of our family." Hearing Shen Yan's words, the corners of Xu Sanyuan's mouth smiled slightly.

"Lord Shen, Huaibei County's elimination of the White Lotus Sect has won such a great feat, isn't this a great joy."

"Father-in-law Xu has won the award, this is my business, how can I talk about any happy event." An indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"How did Gonggong Xu leave the palace and get here? I don't know if I can use my place, if so, just ask. Shen Yan was full of curiosity about Xu Sanyuan's sudden appearance here, Xu Sanyuan would not leave the palace under normal circumstances, if he left the palace, there were only two situations: first, the emperor left the palace, and Xu Sanyuan was his entourage; The second is that Xu Sanyuan shoulders a certain mission. Shen Yan couldn't tell which situation it was from Xu Sanyuan's expression.

"Lord Shen really can speak." Hearing Shen Yan's words, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth.

"Lord Shen, our family is here by the emperor's order."

"Wechen took the order." Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, a touch of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, how could the emperor give himself a decree at this time, although he had notified the emperor of his whereabouts in advance, but the emperor would not come to give him a decree at this time.

"Lord Shen doesn't have to accept the order, our family came to inform Lord Shen by the emperor's order, the emperor originally planned to personally take the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to welcome Lord Shen's victorious return in the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, but some ministers in the court suggested that the emperor should not set this precedent, otherwise it will make the world feel that Lord Shen's credit is too great, thus causing a bad negative impact on the world, the emperor wanted to ignore it, but later Lord Qiu also suggested to the emperor, saying that if the emperor wants to reflect the recognition of Lord Shen's merits, he does not have to go out of the city to greet him in person, All you need to do is send a minister. When Xu Sanyuan said this, there was a look in his eyes that could not be checked, and he indifferently inquired about Shen Yan's expression, and seemed to observe the change in Shen Yan's expression after hearing this will.

"How can Weichen be virtuous, he actually let the emperor go out of the city to greet him, this is a capital crime, Weichen is ashamed to be ashamed, fortunately, there are loyal ministers in the court who put forward the right advice to the emperor, and the emperor is also very wise, accepted this correct suggestion, otherwise, Weichen will have no place to be proud of the world." Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, a touch of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, since ancient times, there have indeed been many examples of the emperor going out of the city to welcome the triumphant return, but Shen Yan never thought that this situation would appear on his body, fortunately, someone jumped out to stop it, otherwise he would really attract attention.

Shen Yan doesn't want anyone to pay too much attention to him now, what he needs now is to be low-key, not to become the target of public criticism, so as not to catch fire. If the emperor went out of the city to greet him in recognition of his merits, he could only trap himself in the sea of fire and become the target of others' attacks, which was not the result he wanted.

Of course, Shen Yan did think or look forward to the emperor going out of the city to greet him in his heart, what a scenery this is, in addition to the huge merits he has made, it also shows his position in the emperor's mind, if he has no place in the emperor's heart, even if he has made great contributions, if he has no status in the emperor's heart, the emperor will not think of going out of the city to greet him, unless he has reached the realm of high merit and shocking the master, it is obvious that he has not reached this point at all.

Compared with this idea in his heart, Shen Yan is considering being more pragmatic, although the emperor going out of the city to greet him can bring him greater influence and status, but it will also attract more attacks and provocations, with his current strength, what Shen Yan needs to do is to silently develop his own strength, and give the Northwest Zhao family a fatal blow at a critical time, so as not to make the Northwest Zhao family aware of their threat to him in the process, otherwise, whether the Northwest Zhao family chooses to leave or continue to assassinate themselves, this is the worst result.

Therefore, after Shen Yan heard Xu Sanyuan's words, there was both excitement and a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and at the same time, there was a hint of indifference.

"The emperor asked our family to pay special attention to how Shen Yan would react when he heard the news that he did not go out of the city to greet him, so as to judge Shen Yan's attitude towards this matter, the emperor was worried that Shen Yan would be disappointed because of this, in fact, Shen Yan's eyes did have a trace of loss, but this loss was not obvious, it can be seen that although Shen Yan is not very old, his mentality is becoming more and more sophisticated, it seems that the emperor's worries are superfluous." Seeing Shen Yan's expression, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, and he nodded slightly, thinking silently in his heart.

"Lord Shen is young and very sensible, no wonder he has won the emperor's respect and trust." Putting away the emotion in his heart, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, glanced at Shen Yan lightly, and said slowly.

"Although the emperor did not come to the Ten Mile Pavilion to welcome Lord Shen's triumphant return, he ordered Lord Qiu to come to the Ten Mile Pavilion to greet Lord Shen with Lord Qiu as the leader, supplemented by the other five ministries, and this honor is also very small."

"Wechen is scared." Shen Yan raised his head and noticed Xu Sanyuan's hintive look at himself from Xu Sanyuan's eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, a look of emotion appeared on his face, and he said loudly.

Shen Yan saw from Xu Sanyuan's expression that the emperor was still worried that he would be a little disappointed in this matter, some people might think that the emperor was cautious, but Shen Yan didn't think so, Shen Yan felt that this was the emperor's mentality of caring about himself, after all, he was young and growing up too fast, if his mentality was distorted, it would affect his future development, fortunately, his response was not bad, and it was obvious from Xu Sanyuan's expression that he had dealt with it very well.

"Father-in-law Xu, after returning to Jinling, when you are free, let's cross the time to drink tea." Shen Yan showed an indifferent smile.

"Lord Shen, let's tell you one more thing, I hope you are mentally prepared in advance." Seeing Shen Yan with an indifferent smile on his face, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, and a sly smile appeared in his eyes, which seemed to have a hint of elegance and a hint of expectation.
