The people who followed him seemed to know what the young man was going to do. Some people had already left, and the remaining people stood behind the young man.
These people all stood facing Xie Yunxiao, creating an inexplicable pressure.
There was a sharp light hidden in Xie Yunxiao's eyes, and the meaning of these people was already obvious.
"Since you want to target me, let me see what you will do next!" Xie Yunxiao thought of this, then looked at Lingyun and the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, tell your story quickly, You see, there are really a lot of people interested in Wangdi’s story today!”
Quite a few, naturally not many. At present, in the inn, except for Xie Yunxiao and the people opposite, the rest of the people seemed to be waiting to watch the show.
Obviously, listening to the story was secondary. They could see that the young man was targeting Xie Yunxiao.
Wherever there are people, there will naturally be people watching.
It seems more interesting to watch the excitement than to listen to the story.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The old man seemed a little excited. He had not told Wangdi's story for many years, but he had told Wangdi's story for decades, and he still remembers every plot of the story clearly.
He sat down in the storyteller's seat, and a long-lost feeling came over him. At this moment, he seemed to have become much younger, and he sat upright, exuding an inexplicable aura.
Xie Yunxiao looked at it, but there was not much expression on his face.
Once the old man started, he never stopped, he was eloquent, and he also knew where to set up suspense and where to arouse people's attention.
At this moment, everyone in the inn listened with great interest.
Xie Yunxiao thought to himself, isn't it true that everyone is not interested in Wangdi's story? Now it seems that is not the case.
But the story about Emperor Wang from the old man's mouth is different from what Xie Yunxiao saw and heard.
The old man's story involves the feelings of family and country, and the polite and virtuous corporal is more touching than the talented and beautiful.
Emperor Wang is the king of Shu. He has always been courteous to virtuous people and is loved by the people.
Once upon a time, the land of Shu was hit by floods, and Emperor Wang tried his best but could not solve the problem. At this time, a man named Turtle Ling appeared who knew how to control floods, so Emperor Wang appointed him as prime minister.
Turtle Ling led the civil and military ministers of Shu to dig rivers and divert water to the East China Sea. After a period of time, the floods were successfully controlled.
Emperor Wang saw that Turtle Ling had outstanding abilities and great achievements, so he gave him the position of king.
In the beginning, Turtle Ling worked hard day and night, building water conservancy projects, and cultivating fields. Under his governance, the Shu Kingdom prospered and people prospered.
But as time went by, Turtle Ling began to neglect government affairs and only cared about having fun, singing and dancing to promote peace. As a result, the Kingdom of Shu became worse and worse day by day.
Emperor Wang, who had been hiding in the Western Mountains, was very sad to learn about Turtle Ling's actions, so he came to the capital of Shu to see Turtle Ling.
But Turtle Ling closed the city gate tightly, and Emperor Wang couldn't even enter the city.
Emperor Wang felt very sad. After he returned to Xishan, he turned into a cuckoo and came to the palace of the King of Shu. He kept shouting: "The people are more valuable than the king!" The people are more important than the king...
Moreover, when he screamed, blood flowed from his mouth.
When the turtle spirit heard the cry of the cuckoo bird transformed into Emperor Wang, he suddenly woke up and became a wise king.
And after he knew that the cuckoo bird was transformed by Emperor Wang, he was very sad.
The story basically ends here.
Xie Yunxiao listened. He wanted to go to the land of dreams and ask Emperor Wang if this was the case with his old man.
However, the cuckoo cried blood, and Emperor Wang was trapped there in the dreamland.
Xie Yunxiao felt that although the content of this story was slightly biased, the cuckoo's cry of blood was the key.
And what turned Emperor Wang into a cuckoo was the dream flower.
How did the people of Shu know that Emperor Wang had turned into a cuckoo?
"The truth of things in this world has always been the most uncertain. I don't want to investigate the truth or falsehood. It can be seen that Emperor Wang is indeed a wise king. In ancient times, the human race had three emperors and five emperors. Although he is not a human emperor, he is not in the category of three emperors and five emperors. Within, but his achievements and abilities cannot be denied!" Xie Yunxiao thought in his mind.
"Is this the story of Emperor Wang?" The young man looked at the old man on the stage with disdain in his eyes.
The old man nodded, "Yes, this is the story of Emperor Wang!"
"That's just nonsense!" The young man snorted coldly.
"Really? What do you think?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
The young man sneered, "Isn't it nonsense that Emperor Wang turned into a cuckoo? When he was a human, he couldn't enter the royal city, but now that he has turned into a cuckoo, he can fly in?"
"How he entered the city, I don't care for the moment, but it should be possible to turn into a cuckoo!" Xie Yunxiao said calmly.
The young man snorted coldly and said: "This nonsense story has no logic, but you listened to it with great interest. I admire you!"
"The most important thing about the story is that it is moving. In my opinion, Corporal Wangdi Lixian is willing to give up his position as king for the sake of the people of Shu. I am afraid no one can do this kind of demeanor and broadmindedness nowadays!" Xie Yun Xiao said.
"So, you think Marquis Wenxin's story is not touching enough?" the young man said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "I do have this idea. Listening to the story of Marquis Wenxin, is there anything else besides praising his great achievements?"
"You don't agree with Marquis Wenxin's achievements?" The young man's eyes suddenly became brighter.
Xie Yunxiao said: "His achievements are there, how can I disagree, but do you agree with what is said in the story?"
When the young man heard this, a cold smile appeared on his face.
At this time, there was a noise, and several soldiers in armor walked in.
The leader was a young man in his twenties or eighties. He released a sharp iron-blooded aura and his cultivation was at the peak of the Seventh Realm.
"Who are you?" the leader said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. You are Meng Haotian, the commander of Shuzhong County!"
When the young man heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "I don't even dare to tell you my name, but you are making trouble here. Come on, take it down!"
At this time, the young man sitting next to Xie Yunxiao had retreated to Meng Haotian's side.
Everyone surrounded Xie Yunxiao.
But Xie Yunxiao seemed to have an invisible charm that made the people surrounding him afraid to act rashly for a while.
Meng Haotian looked at Lingyun and the old man and said, "Didn't I tell you before? Don't tell the story of Emperor Wang again!"
"But this guest official wants to listen, and after paying him back, the common people will talk about it!" The old man did not show any fear at this time.
As for Lingyun, she stood aside and said nothing.
Meng Haotian's eyes finally fell on Xie Yunxiao, and there was a solemn look in his tiger eyes.
Because he could see why his soldiers didn't take action.
"No matter who you are, you must give an explanation today!" Meng Haotian said.
Xie Yunxiao asked: "What do you mean?"
Seeing that his men were motionless, Meng Haotian took action personally. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Xie Yunxiao.
Xie Yunxiao turned his body slightly to get out of his way. At the same time, he leaned forward slightly and bumped into his chest.
Meng Haotian groaned and stepped back a few steps.
He paused slightly, drew out his saber, and slashed at Xie Yunxiao.
Xie Yunxiao stretched out his right hand, clamped the severed long knife, and exerted slight force, only to see Meng Haotian step away again.
Then, before Meng Haotian could take action again, Xie Yunxiao had disappeared.
Meng Haotian and others were stunned at first, and then their eyes showed solemnity.
"Sir, there is some trouble!" said the young man next to him.
Meng Haotian nodded, and then looked at the old man again, "You must listen to the greetings. If we are not the ones here today, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The old man didn't speak, just stood aside quietly.
Meng Haotian led the people away, and after a while, the inn recovered.
Around the time of You, Xue Ju came out of the county government office and met Xie Yunxiao in a tavern.
"The county magistrate Yao Yi of Sichuan County is really a wonderful person. After I went to the Yamen, the county magistrate Meng Haotian didn't see him, but he chatted with Yao Yi for a while!" Xue Ju said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "It seems that Master Xue gained a lot from this trip!"
"Indeed, there are quite a few. Then Yao Yi should not be Yu Buwei's person!" Xue Ju said.
Xie Yunxiao asked: "Why did Mr. Xue make such a judgment?"
"After I entered the county government office, he arranged a banquet to welcome the wind and wash away the dust. At the banquet, I tentatively stated my intention, and Yao Yi said something about Yu Buwei, vaguely complaining! "Xue Ju said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Master Xue won't just make judgments based on these, right?"
"Of course, I made some insinuations and discovered that there is still some grudge between him and Yu Buwei!" Xue Ju said.
"What grudge?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
"Yao Yi had a brother who once worked under Yu Buwei, but later died!" Xue Ju said.
"It seems that the cause of death of Yao Yi's brother is a little strange!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Xue Ju nodded, "Yes!"
"If there is a grudge, Yao Yi cannot be Yu Buwei's person, and Yu Buwei's person can only be County Lieutenant Meng Haotian!" Xie Yunxiao said.
"Judging from the current situation, this should be the case!" Xue Ju's expression became solemn.
Meng Haotian holds an army of 20,000 in his hands, and he is most likely Yu Buwei's man.
This is what neither Xue Ju nor Xie Yunxiao want to see, but it happens to be the case.
"Now we have to find a way to seize military power from Meng Haotian!" Xue Ju said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Did Yao Yi give you the advice?"
"Of course not. This is what I think. Why, is it possible that your husband doesn't think so?" Xue Ju said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "I think our focus now can be on finding Yu Buwei. As for military power, as long as we capture Yu Buwei, Oumian will naturally be easily solved!"
"That seems to be the case, then just listen to sir!" Xue Ju said.
Yu Buwei is just an ordinary person. To be honest, if Xie Yunxiao hadn't been following him this time in Shuzhong, Xue Ju would definitely be in pain.
But now, this troublesome matter was left to Xie Yunxiao, and he just followed Xie Yunxiao's suggestions.
When Xie Yunxiao returned to Sihai Inn, the shopkeeper suddenly became trembling with fear when he saw Xie Yunxiao.
