The next day, Liu Xiaoran sent a little eunuch to invite Shen Ye into the palace.

Shen Ye gave the little eunuch a few hundred taels of silver, and the little eunuch took good care of him along the way, talked with Shen Ye with good words, and went very comfortably.

Then the little eunuch took Shen Ye to Qingwan Lake and said, "Second Master Shen, you can do it yourself." ”

Shen Ye nodded, standing on the stone bridge and looking at the willows on the lake shore opposite the stone bridge, but unfortunately the willows had no leaves, only smooth branches remained.

Under the willow tree sat an old man, who looked as thin as wood, dressed in an old gray robe, old but looking very clean and neat.

He holds a willow branch in his right hand and writes on the stone, and in his left hand he holds the long sleeves of his old robe, and his eyes linger on the stone slab, giving off brilliance from time to time.

Shen Ye was deeply curious, so he stepped over, looked down at the words on the slate, although the words were written with water, there were pen edges everywhere between the lines, like a sharp knife, deep into the slate.

It will take a long time before it will be wiped out by the sun.

The word on the stone slab is a heavenly character, this word is the heavenly son of heaven on the top of the Heavenly Nian Sect, Shen Ye is familiar with this word, so he clenched the Nine Fence Sword on his back.

The old man turned his head to look at Shen Ye, who was standing aside, and smiled, "How is my handwriting?"

At this moment, Shen Ye saw the old man's face clearly, his face was dark red, his expression was radiant, his eyes were bright, although his white hair was not old at all, and his deep eyes kept wandering on Shen Ye's face.

Shen Ye felt from his smile that he was not hostile to him now, so he slowly put down the hand holding the hilt of the sword behind him and said, "Although I don't know how to read, this word is too murderous, and it looks less beautiful." ”

"It's not my best word. The old man continued to laugh, "It seems that you still recognize this word." ”

"What's your best word for?"

"Not really. The old man continued to laugh and shake his head.

Of course, he will not easily write his best words, unless it is a critical moment, and a talisman master writing his best words is equivalent to exposing himself.

Shen Ye guessed suspiciously about the best words he had written, and after a while, asked, "Why did you capture Tasna?"

The old man, slowly got up and stretched a lazy waist, hammered his back to the bridge, looked at the fish in the water and said: "We are all fish in the lake, we can't help ourselves, we can't do without that side of the water, His Majesty the Emperor said, if you let go of Tasna, he will forgive you, but all this is your outstanding performance in the gate of heaven." ”

Shen Ye then smiled and said, "He forgave me?

"Look at those fish, they're going to die if the water dries up. ”

Shen Ye stared at the fish swimming in the clear water, watching them kiss the lotus root and wagging their tails.

The old man picked up the willow branch and wrote a water character on the bridge, and the transparent round characters were as big as a bowl, and slowly pressed them down into the lake.

Suddenly, there was a crisp "pop!" The water splashed three feet high, falling into the water like a stone, and the little red fish under the lotus branch was knocked out and lay on the tip of the splash.

However, the tip of the splash was the water character, and the fish was constantly beating in the transparent water character and its gills were constantly wriggling.

The fish bounced for a while before losing its breath before falling into the water and floating on the surface of the lake.

Shen Ye kept looking at it, this was the old man hinting to Shen Ye that if he didn't listen to His Majesty the Emperor, he would die a tragic death like a fish dehydrated, and it was under his talisman.

"I hope this water word wasn't written for you. The old man looked at Shen Ye and said, "I hope you can see clearly, you are just that fish." ”

"Even if I were the fish, I would have a sea to hide in. ”

"But you are destined to be in this lake, destined to emerge, because your father is Shen Hao, and your elder brother is Shen Lang, the sect leader of the Nian Sect. ”

Shen Ye smiled lightly, disdainful of him, and looked down at the fish in the water.

"Haha........." A laugh broke the silence, "You two are here." ”

Shen Ye and the old man looked at each other, and saw that Liu Yuyuan was wearing a golden dragon robe, but his current swaggering posture did not match this solemn costume.

This also made Shen Ye's mind relax a lot.

"You two are here. This sentence fell heavily in Shen Ye's heart, and Shen Ye laughed secretly in his heart, he understood that the old man and he were arranged here by His Majesty the Emperor, and the old man was his lobbyist to persuade himself to join His Majesty the Emperor.

Liu Yuyuan, Liu Xiaoran, Yan Lianyun and others walked over together, and Shen Ye and the old man bowed and saluted, and they saw them one by one.

Shen Ye said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Liu Yuyuan patted Shen Ye on the shoulder and said, "Shen Ye, you can be the head of our Moon Dragon Country, you are the only one who has not been admitted to the Heavenly Gate for thousands of years. ”

"Your Majesty lifts. ”

"To be honest, I have a heart for cultivation, and I used to use the excuse that I was just an ordinary person, but now your appearance has taken away this excuse, telling me how to be lazy, I can only say that I am old. ”

"Your Majesty said that the dragon body is precious. ”

Liu Yuyuan laughed heartily, walked by the lake, and then looked up at Tiandao: "This Qingwan Lake has just been built, and I feel that there must be a beautiful scenery in this palace, so I built this lake, and I always feel that this lake is too small to see the lake in Tianmen." ”

"Is my palace smaller, or is my world smaller?"

When Shen Ye heard this, he interrogated himself, thought about it, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if there is a sea in your heart, it is the sea, and if you have a mountain in your heart, it will be a mountain." ”

The few people who followed behind were surprised, these people were all civil and military officials who had more or less ink in their stomachs, and when they heard it carefully, they were saying that His Majesty the Emperor was narrow-minded.

Liu Xiaoran, who was following behind, pinched a handful of sweat and hurriedly said: "Brother Shen is really high-minded, the imperial brother's heart for the world has been discovered by you." ”

Liu Yuyuan flicked his sleeves, stepped forward, and said with a look of anger: "After our army goes north to devour the Northern Wilderness, I will kill a piece of Ximang armor when the time comes, do you still need to keep these mountains and rivers in my heart at that time?"

"Your Majesty. Shen Ye continued, "Have you ever thought that without the sparsely populated and frozen land of the people of the Northern Wilderness, our army will not be able to attack the Northern Wilderness for a while and a half, and will only let the soldiers freeze to death there." ”

"What do you mean!" Liu Yuyuan was furious, "You don't support me? My Moon Dragon is so powerful, I'm afraid he's a bird! Shen Ye, you are just an outer disciple who sees the Heavenly Gate, today I came to see you to give you face, but you are pointing fingers at me, what are you, Dugu Jiubu His old man said, I don't care about these things when I see the disciples of Tianmen!"

Liu Xiaoran hurriedly pulled the corner of Shen Ye's clothes and signaled him not to say any more, if he continued to talk about it, Shen Ye would indeed be killed.

If it were someone else, Liu Yuyuan had killed Shen Ye with one knife earlier, and now he would not kill Shen Ye just because he had given Shen Hao three generations to avoid death and eight generations to be officials.

Now it seems that Shen Ye is not so obedient, thinking of Nian Zong's matter, Shen Ye intervened, and his plan will fail, thinking of this, Liu Yuyuan is even more angry.

Flicked his sleeves and strode forward, Liu Xiaoran chased after him and said a few words for Shen Ye.

Several other entourages admired in their hearts that Shen Ye dared to say these words to His Majesty.
