After the two people met, the middle-aged scribe smiled and motioned for the visitor to sit down.
The visitor did not sit down, but waved his sleeves and said something.
Then the middle-aged scribe also spoke a few words.
Unfortunately, I couldn't hear it clearly because I was too far away.
After the two communicated for a while, it was obvious that the person who came was very angry.
On the other hand, the middle-aged scribe always smiled.
The communication between the two people was obviously not smooth. After arguing for a long time, the person who came in snorted and turned around to leave.
Before leaving, he looked here again and looked at Ye Ming.
After practicing for so long, Wu Hou can now hold the fennel beans with chopsticks very steadily and eat them, which makes him feel a little proud.
After Ye Ming saw the visitor disappearing into the water, he stood up with a smile and called Mr. Wu to go to the middle-aged scribe's place.
When the middle-aged scribe saw them arriving, he smiled and extended his hand, asking them to sit down.
"I'm in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. May I ask your surnames?"
Ye Ming smiled and introduced himself and Mr. Wu.
The man who called himself Jiang Yingquan laughed and said:
"It turns out it's Brother Shanyuan and Brother Wu. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you."
Ye Ming said: "Your Excellency's attitude towards us was not very good before. Why is there such a huge contrast after just one day?"
"Hahaha~~~ Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. Yesterday you two suddenly appeared. I thought you were the reinforcements invited by my brother, so I was a little negligent. I hope you will forgive me."
Jiang Yingquan explained with a smile.
Then, he said to the two of them:
"By the way, how about I tell you two a story?"
Ye Ming smiled slightly and said:
"not good."
Jiang Yingquan:......
The words he had planned were suddenly interrupted, leaving him at a loss for what to say.
Ye Ming said directly:
"Just tell me how you and your brother got into this mess."
“Ahem, it’s actually not a complicated matter.
To put it simply, my brother and I were both qualified to inherit the realm of Sea and Lake Water Lord.
Later, the two of them broke up, he became Suicune, and I left. "
"So, you have accumulated enough strength now to come back and seize the throne?"
"That's right. I did come back to seize the throne."
"Then what do you want to do by letting people capture all the talented water tribes?"
"These are my brother's reserve forces, so they naturally need to be attacked."
"Then how sure are you now that you will succeed in seizing the throne?"
“On the surface, it’s already 50%.
The premise is that the involvement of Brother Shanyuan is not considered. "
Jiang Yingquan said with a smile and asked:
"Brother Shanyuan won't be involved in Shuifu's private affairs, right?"
"Can I watch the show on the side?"
"This is not a glorious thing. Brother Shanyuan still wants to watch. Isn't it inappropriate?"
"It's okay, I'll bring some paint, apply it, and it'll be shiny."
"Haha~~Brother Shanyuan is such a wonderful person."
Jiang Yingquan laughed a few times and then said,
"My brother and I agreed that in three days, when the people in the city pray for spring rain, we will make a bet.
He bets that the Taoist priest who prays for rain will win, and I bet that the monk who prays for rain will win.
At that time, the winner will become the king of the sea and the lake, and the loser will leave from now on. "
"This is a good idea, but your brother has the power of Sui Lord. Can you compare with him?"
"Since I dare to come back, I am sure of it."
"By the way, do you think that if you were Suicune, you would be more suitable than your brother?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yingquan smiled confidently:
"That's natural. He is slow and pedantic in doing things, and he is very pedantic about many things. He has a lot of worries.
To put it simply, he is a complete mediocre official, most incompetent. It would be a waste to hand him the position of Suicune! "
"So, you don't have any shortcomings in this area?"
"That's natural, I am the most suitable person to be Sui Lord.
I don’t have any of the problems I mentioned just now, and when it comes to management and execution capabilities, I can surpass him. "
Regarding these, Jiang Yingquan was very confident, with a very calm smile on his face.
Ye Ming smiled and exchanged a few more words with him, then stood up and said:
"Three days later, the two of us will definitely observe this Suicune-changing battle in person."
When Jiang Yingquan heard this, he frowned slightly, then relaxed:
"Since Brother Shanyuan is willing, then please do it."
Ye Ming smiled and left with Mr. Wu.
After getting far away from there, Mr. Wu said:
"Does Mr. Shanyuan really want to participate?"
Ye Ming smiled and pointed to the lake ahead:
"No rush, let's see what the other person says first."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu looked towards the water.
I found that the water surface suddenly fogged up, and the surrounding boats disappeared in the fog, except for a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, a man in a wide robe and long sleeves was sitting, looking over from a distance, obviously inviting them to come over.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Sir, we are invited to come over!"
"How does this go?"
Mr. Wu asked, pointing to the water. He didn't know magic.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Just walk over."
With that said, he took a step forward and stepped towards the water.
Just as he was about to step on the water, a carp suddenly appeared in the water and held his feet to prevent him from sinking.
The other foot fell, and another carp appeared, holding the sole of the foot.
Ye Ming walked very casually, as usual.
Every step you take, there must be a carp supporting your feet.
When Mr. Wu saw this, he felt quite amazing, but he still didn't dare to move forward for a while.
Wu Hou didn't have so many scruples. Seeing that Ye Ming could walk, he jumped forward excitedly.
Sure enough, as soon as I stepped on it, the carp was held up in the water and stood very stable.
Shu Shaojun also followed, but he had no weight and could float directly on the water without any assistance.
Mr. Wu no longer hesitated and stepped forward.
Feeling the carp holding its feet, Mr. Wu couldn't help but marvel at such a magical method.
After trying to walk a few steps, Mr. Wu experienced the joy of walking in a different way. Mr. Wu also strode forward to keep up with Ye Ming's pace.
Looking left and right, there was not a single ship visible in the mist.
Looking back at the shore, I don't know when the shore became deserted, which was very strange.
The two of them walked all the way to the lake center pavilion, stepped up to the second floor, and faced the man in a wide robe and long sleeves.
When the man saw the two of them, he bowed his hands and invited them to sit down.
The man reported his family name, and it was Jiang Yingmin, the king of water in Jiehai Lake.
After the two parties greeted each other, Jiang Yingmin pointed to the lake in the distance and said:
“These eight hundred miles of bounded seas and lakes contain countless aquatic species inside and support countless states and towns outside. They are the basis for the survival of countless people.
Therefore, everything related to it is a major event, and if someone in his position makes a mistake, it may have a great impact on the surrounding areas.
Managing such a territory is indeed a great authority, but it is also a great test.
I often think about things related to people's livelihood here. I can't say I reflect on myself every day, but I can at least do it every month.
Since taking over, I dare not take credit, but it can be said that there are no mistakes or omissions..."
After talking a lot, Jiang Yingmin looked at the two of them:
"I don't know what my brother said to you two. In short, this is my explanation."
"What Suicune said is of no use to us. I'm just passing by."
Ye Ming spread his hands to show his innocence.
“Brother Shanyuan can say whatever he wants, but since he appears in our dispute, it’s difficult to really stay out of it.
Both our brothers and you yourself know this very well. "
Jiang Yingmin said and continued,
"Brother Shanyuan, do you know how our brothers got into this situation?"
"I don't know, I don't want to hear it."
"Well, as long as Brother Shanyuan is willing to listen, I haven't told anyone these things for a long time."
"I can make a rough guess about this kind of thing, so there's no need to listen."
"Since Brother Shanyuan asked me to explain in detail, I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obey."
Then, regardless of whether Ye Ming listened or not, Jiang Yingmin started talking to himself.
To put it simply, he also recognized that his brother was more suitable to be Suicune than himself.
But his younger brother has evil intentions and is eager for success.
When Old Shuijun asked them to manage their own land, he secretly dug out the earth's veins to nourish the farmland in order to achieve short-term results.
That year, the farmland did have a bumper harvest.
But due to the leakage of earth energy, the area quickly became barren, and it is still extremely poor to this day.
Not only this, but later he was asked to manage a river and earn incense.
In order to get incense, he secretly cultivated monsters to harm people, and then went out to catch the monsters in a big way, in order to deceive believers into getting incense...
Jiang Yingmin said a lot about similar things.
In short, his brother is capable, but he does things regardless of the consequences and is eager for quick success. He only cares about power and not people's livelihood.
It was also because of this that the old Sui Lord finally decided to pass the position of Sui Lord to him.
After saying this, Jiang Yingmin said again:
"This time he dares to seize the throne, so he must have great support. Although I also have some confidence, because of the...
In short, I still hope that Brother Shanyuan will not stand by and help me once.
If you can help me get through this difficult time, Jiang would be grateful! "
"You think you have no chance of winning? Where did you lose?"
“…This time he not only came back by himself, but also came back with his eldest son, second son and son-in-law.
His eldest son was very powerful and became the king of a river. Although he would ensure good weather in the area, he required the people on both sides of the river to pay tribute to a pair of boys and girls as sacrifices every year, otherwise disaster would occur.
The second son also occupied a lake, pinned the original Sui Lord under a rocky mountain, occupied the Sui Lord's daughter, and seized her water mansion, just like a local emperor.
His son-in-law is a water tribe bully who turned into a spirit from a nine-headed insect monster. He has a very bad reputation, but he has great abilities.
In addition to these two, there are also a large number of water tribe soldiers, enough to attack Jiehai Lake.
This is what I already know. I don’t know how many hidden cards it has. "
After hearing what Jiang Yingmin said, Mr. Wu couldn't help but ask:
"Since your brother's family is full of evildoers, why doesn't Chun Jiang care?"
“It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I can’t control it.
First of all, our brothers are actually the same generation as Chunjiang Jiangshen in terms of seniority. It is not easy for him to reprimand him casually.
Secondly, among the aquatic tribe, there are quite a few people who secretly stir things up.
That is to say, Sui Lords from all over the world always favor the human race because they need the power of will.
Except for Sui Lord, the other water tribes don't have much favorable impressions of the human race.
Also, these things have actually been a long-standing problem in aquariums.
As long as we don't harm people on a large scale and occasionally die, no one will be held accountable.
Even on Jiang Shen's side, there is a quota that allows mortals to die accidentally every year.
As long as it doesn't exceed too much, there's basically nothing to worry about. "
After listening to Jiang Yingmin's explanation, Mr. Wu felt a little shocked, and a feeling of a broken worldview was forming.
It turns out that there are so many twists and turns not only in the secular world, but also among gods and humans...
After explaining this, Jiang Yingmin looked at Ye Ming again and said:
"I still say the same thing, I hope Brother Shanyuan can help me.
I can't say how well I can do in the future. At the very least, I can guarantee that there will be no major disasters in my jurisdiction and surrounding counties, and no water tribe will harm mortals with impunity. "
Hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"What Suicune said makes sense, and helping you seems like a good choice.
However, I still think it is more suitable for me to simply watch a movie.
Of course, if it's a bad play, I don't mind changing it myself. "
Jiang Yingmin was a little disappointed to receive such an answer from Ye Ming, but he still handed over his hand to express his gratitude.
Afterwards, after the exchange between the two parties was completed, Jiang Yingmin waved his hand and summoned a bottomless ship:
"We can take this to get back to the shore."
Having experienced the previous carp-carp incident, Mr. Wu was only curious about this bottomless boat, not afraid.
Take this boat all the way back to the shore.
As soon as we reached the shore, we saw the bottomless boat disappearing, and the fog on the lake also disappeared.
The pavilion in the center of the lake disappeared, and the lake was once again a scene of thousands of sailboats racing across the lake, with an endless stream of people coming and going.
One cannot help but wonder whether the experience just now was a dream.
