Chapter 425
Ye Xingyuan entered Nanxunzhou without being welcomed by the King of Shu, but he did not suffer any difficulties. He knew that his contributions had been recognized by the King of Shu, and the plan was being carried out step by step.
Of course, what he gave was not a real wooden ox and a flowing horse. This thing was created by Wuhou and could not be imitated by later generations, and Ye Xingyuan did not understand its principle at all.
However, similar things were actually not without them in ancient times. Especially since the rumors that there were organic beasts in the Mohist school, they could fly to the sky and hide in the earth. The magical effect was definitely not inferior to the Wuhou wooden ox and flowing horse.
When Ye Xingyuan was looking at Zi Yan, he pretended to be a descendant of the Mo family, but in the end he did not come up with a real mechanism beast, but just relying on the machinery of later generations to bluff people.
However, there are similar transportation tools in Ziyanzi's Art of War. Ye Xingyuan can read it roughly and know that it is the end. However, this kind of thing can only be used for mountain transportation, and its scope of application is not wide. In fact, Ye Xingyuan has no chance to use it.
Therefore, Ye Xingyuan borrowed flowers and offered them to the King of Shu, and gained trust through this.
"The King of Shu really won't kill you?" Ouyang Ziyu entered Nanxunzhou with curiosity on his face.
Ouyang Ziyu saw Ye Xingyuan's great power at the school that day, and was so impressed that she was overwhelmed by her. She also shyly apologized for the misunderstanding at the time. She said that Ye Xingyuan has always been a good person and was misunderstood by herself.
Ye Xingyuan didn't care, but Ouyang Ziyu heard that Ye Xingyuan was going to Nanxunzhou to die, and felt that he was a great hero who was willing to die with him. He said that he would go with him no matter what, and had a big fight with his senior brother who was with him.
The Shushan Sect has a close connection with the royal mansion. Miss Ouyang Ziyu doesn't know that her senior brother understands very well. Although Ye Xingyuan is also an amazing person, he is not going to offend the Shu royal mansion for him. The senior brother is unsure and hopes to go back and ask the teacher to make plans later.
Ouyang Ziyu refused and expressed that she wanted to live and die with Ye Xingyuan. She left her senior brother behind and found Ye Xingyuan halfway and went to Nanxunzhou with him.
Ye Xingyuan was ridiculous and terrified. He had his own plans to go to Nanxunzhou, of course he was not going to die. However, it was rare for the young lady to have this intention. Anyway, there was a sixth-grade sword immortal thug around him, so many things were easier to deal with, so there was no tough rejection.
The two entered Nanxunzhou together, but Ouyang Ziyu found that the people from the Shu Palace did not shout for fighting and killing, and were even a little restrained and polite. She couldn't help but feel strange and asked Ye Xingyuan.
Ye Xingyuan said carelessly: "I entrusted Changshi Mou to speak to King Shu, saying that I wanted to serve King Shu, and even offered a wooden ox and horse. I think the King of Shu thinks this thing is more important than his son, so of course I don't want to kill me."
Ouyang Ziyu was shocked and said, "What is more important than a son? What a treasure this is? How can you give it to others casually?"
Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "In fact, it's not a great thing. But for the King of Shu, he can use this to send troops to the Central Plains. His ambition and judgment are of course different from ordinary people."
Although he only met a few times, Ye Xingyuan had a very accurate grasp of the character of the King of Shu.
Because of the ambiguous attitude of the King of Shu, his subordinates certainly did not dare to be too rude to Ye Xingyuan. Although the prince also had his own basic foundation, his father was too strong and he did not have much ability himself, so no one was really loyal to him, and there was no dead soldiers coming to ask for trouble for Ye Xingyuan.
However, even so, the King of Shu did not rush to summon Ye Xingyuan. Instead, he was entertained by him in the palace, whether intentional or unintentional, but the room he gave was the room where Ye Xingyuan lived when he was pseudonym "Ye Lan".
Ye Xingyuan knew that the King of Shu must have someone rush to make a "wooden ox and flowing horse" these days to determine whether this thing is real. The drawing was originally real, and Ye Xingyuan did not lie to him, so he didn't need to worry, he just needed to wait patiently.
On the fifth day of this, at noon on the sixth day, Mou Changshi came to worship and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Ye, the prince summoned him. This time it is related to life and death. Please respect yourself."
Although Ye Xingyuan killed the prince in front of him, Mou Changshi actually did not feel too deeply disgusted with Ye Xingyuan.
After all, he also knew that the prince had the way to die. But Mou Changshi's loyalty was only dedicated to the King of Shu, so he didn't care so much about others.
Now that the King of Shu has not blamed Ye Xingyuan for his past, of course there is no need for him to hold a grudge and even give him a kind reminder.
Ye Xingyuan bowed and said, "Thank you, the senior official, please pay attention."
Even if it is an interview and a big test today, if the King of Shu sees any flaws from Ye Xingyuan, he will kill him without hesitation. If he trusts Ye Xingyuan, he will regard him as his confidant.
This includes the contribution of the wooden ox and the flowing horse, and the King of Shu’s expectations for Ye Xingyuan’s talent.
As for Mou Changshi's selfishness, of course, he thinks that the alive Ye Xingyuan is much more interesting than the dead Ye Xingyuan.
Ye Xingyuan followed Mou Changshi and walked through the garden. He saw Qiantong Pavilion from afar. When he remembered the experiences in it, he felt like he was a different life. The master Kayanba, who was involved in the creation of good fortune, now he didn't know where he was reincarnated. As for the things he saw in Qiantong Pavilion, they disappeared.
Even the friendship with the little princess is now impossible to talk about.
He took away his distracting thoughts, focused his attention, and stepped into the study of King Shu.
The King of Shu was wearing plain clothes, sitting on the Grand Master's chair, closing his eyes to rest. Several of his confidant staff were staring at Ye Xingyuan, with jealousy and suspicion flashing in his eyes, all of which were all there.
Ye Xingyuan caught a glimpse of a half-person-high wooden debris on one side of the study. He was confident that he would not be humble or arrogant when he stepped forward and saluted the King of Shu: "The lower-ranking official Ye Xingyuan, I have seen the prince."
The King of Shu opened his eyes at this time, his eyes were bright, and he snorted coldly: "Today is Ye Xingyuan, and that day is Ye Lan. I don't know which Ye Xingyuan is true and which is false?"
It’s okay to have a son’s business, but Ye Xingyuan changed his name and sneaked into the royal palace and stole the blood letter, which made a mess. The King of Shu could not let go of this deception.
Ye Xingyuan smiled indifferently, "The ancient saints have changed so much, so what's wrong with changing their names? As long as the subordinates follow the prince, what's the point of whether Ye Xingyuan or Ye Lan?"
After seeing him for a while, the King of Shu laughed and stood up, deliberately trying to appear generous and tolerant. He grabbed Ye Xingyuan's arm intimately and said loudly: "I hope for Mr. Ye, as if I had been drought for a long time. Now that Mr. Ye has been able to take action, I pinch it like a fish in water, and my wish is fulfilled."
Ye Xingyuan has never been used to this way of showing good deeds. He calmly pulled his hand back and coughed, "The prince is in a wrong way, and the subordinate is flattered. However, if the prince feels that he can win the world with a wooden ox and a horse, he will win the world, which is not bad.
The prince knows that now a place in Shu has reached a critical survival and death. If you are not careful, you will be in a situation where you will never be able to turn into powder!"
Of course, this is a routine. Any strategist who comes to vote must first exaggerate the difficulties and then propose solutions. This makes the lord feel that this person is so powerful and obeys the rules from then on.
If you say that everything is going well now, it will be great if you develop like this. So what's the use of a newcomer?
Although the staff of the King of Shu were not talented, they also knew the ways of the world. He was dissatisfied when he heard Ye Xingyuan say this. Someone jumped out and said, "Mr. Ye, the last time you changed your name, you were deceived by the prince. Now that you came here again, it was an alarmist statement. Who can trust you?"
Ye Xingyuan saw that his face was charred and his sharp mouth and monkey cheeks were asked disdainfully: "Who is yours?"
The King of Shu hurriedly introduced to him, "This is a famous scholar in Shu, with ten theories of Yang Bowen," he said.
Ye Xingyuan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
Yang Boyue was furious, "How dare you underestimate the famous scholars in the world at such a young age?"
Ye Xingyuan sneered and said, "Although the Xiaguan is younger than you, he has also traveled across the country and read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. I wonder if Mr. Yang has ever left Shu?"
Yang Boyue was speechless. He joined the Shu Palace since childhood and gave advice, but never traveled far away.
Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "The frog in the well is nothing more than. He didn't know how big the world is, and he dared to speak loudly. Now anyone with a discerning eye knows the danger in Shu, but you don't know, how dare you talk nonsense?"
Yang Boyue retreated in shame. His friend Xi Pingzhi stood up and scolded: "Mr. Ye is such a bad word. You said that Shu is in danger, but you are just picking up people's wisdom and saying some old clichés. Who doesn't know the situation in Shu? "
Ye Xingyuan looked down on his face and said, "Who are you? Is it the worm in my stomach? How do you know what I want to say?"
The King of Shu laughed secretly and said, "This is Mr. Xi Ping, who can understand the changes in appearance and color, or can you understand the words of Mr. Ye."
Ye Xingyuan had heard of this person and couldn't help but laugh and said, "I said who is it? It turns out that it is you, the flatterer. Of course, when Mr. Lian Cheng, a great scholar in Shu, returned home, you would intercept him on the road and ask for advice. Seeing Mr. Lian's expression change, he would know that he could get into the umbrella, fan, and orange.
This allusion is widely circulated, and it seems that you still feel complacent? But this is completely a villain's ability. A gentleman is open and honest. No matter who he sees, he has a right way to rely on. Why do you need to observe your words and expressions? What are your real talents and knowledge? I don't want to be with you!"
Xi Pingzhi was ashamed and dared not speak anymore. The King of Shu's aides saw Ye Xingyuan's sharp words and did not dare to provoke them anymore. Ye Xingyuan then spoke: "Prince, the crisis in Shu is not deliberately exaggerated, it is really true."
The King of Shu was stunned. He heard him speak sincerely and asked: "Although the court has paid attention to our Shu, the wooden ox and horse offered by Lord Ye can attack and defend. Even if there is a crisis, at least one side can be controlled. I don't know what the danger is. Please give me advice."
Ye Xingyuan nodded calmly and said, "The prince only knows one thing but not the other. The court is actually beyond the reach. As long as the prince does not leave Shu, even if his majesty is not aware of it, he will never risk sending troops to attack."
Even if the army is famous, it is not worth the effort to attack Shuzhong. Now there are wars everywhere. Emperor Longping and the cabinet are all in their attitudes that they can not fight without war.
If the King of Shu sends troops and leaves Shu, it must be taken down, which is related to the country. But when he is in Shu, Emperor Longping can only turn a blind eye no matter how unhappy he is.
