Jiang Wang did not meet the emperor because the emperor had his back turned to him.

There is a huge and hollow crystal pillar in the hall, and outside it is a transparent relief that cannot be seen unless you look carefully. It is inscribed with the mountains and rivers of the world. There is living water in it, with luxuriant aquatic plants and various kinds of swimming fish and shuttles.

This is not just a fish tank with a unique shape, it is said to be connected to the Zihe River.

The emperor then folded his hands and watched the fish without saying a word.

Huo Yanshan quietly exited the hall and guarded the door silently.

Jiang Wang walked into the palace and saluted Emperor Qi who did not look back: "Jiang Wang, a common man, pays homage to the Emperor."

silence.

The silence lasted for a long time.

Jiang Wang continued what he had done while standing outside waiting - using Rumeng Ling to simulate the scene of fighting against Master Ye Da. He had a broad mind, and this move was simply to sharpen his combat power, find out the deficiencies, and break through himself.

Thinking of revenge.

Just when the exercise here got intense, the emperor spoke: "I didn't let you wait before, but now you can't see me at any time. Do you know why?"

Jiang Wang said honestly: "I waited for two hours last time."

Jiang Wang added: "Then I waited all night."

The Emperor said: "My country is busy with affairs, so don't talk about irrelevant things."

"Uh." Jiang Wang said, "Because His Majesty is busy with state affairs, I need to wait."

"There is no place for you in Qi State." the emperor said.

Jiang Wangdao: "If I don't sit down, I'll just walk."

"Where do you think this is, you can go wherever you want?"

"I regard this place as my second hometown and come back often to visit."

"Stop using meaningless names to impress yourself. There are first and second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth. It doesn't matter. The whole world is your hometown."

"Although the world is big, there are only two hometowns." Jiang Wang said in a sincere voice: "Maplewood City is the hometown where I was born. I can't choose. There are people there that I can never see again. Qi State is the path I chose.

It’s a place where we struggle, grow, gain and lose. Here are my eternal friends and people I will always respect.”

There was no emotion or anger in the emperor's voice. He raised his finger and pointed at the crystal pillar. There was a rainbow fish in the middle. It was frightened. It suddenly flew away from its string like an arrow and penetrated into the water plants. It instantly changed color and became confused with the water plants... only

Leave a blister in place.

The Emperor said: "You are like this fish now. You are slippery and change color very quickly. You are not realistic at all."

Jiang Wang's expression remained unchanged and he said respectfully: "This water column is like your world."

"My world is so small?"

"Connected to the Zi River, far to the East China Sea, and running through the Yangtze River!"

"You do these homework all day long?"

"I just keep the emperor's words in mind and read more. In addition to practicing, I just read."

"During cultivation, do you see and read "The Biography of Cheng Chen"?"

Jiang Wang didn't seem to understand the sarcasm at all, with an honest look on his face: "I read "Shi Dao Cuts the Sea", "Shimen Military Strategy", "General Theory of Five Punishments", "Eternal Law", "Potential Theory", "Chaocang Wu"

》……”

"It's incredible, you have learned a lot and you already know how to apply for a book."

"I don't dare. I always wander in the sea of ​​books and only get a drop."

"Are you so busy?"

"The world is too vast, and Jiang Wang is too small. I have to study hard and practice hard to avoid being abandoned by the world."

Qi Tianzi's words were as sharp as a knife: "You are so busy, where did you get the time to become prosperous in the Mu Kingdom?"

"It's not like it's prosperous...it's just that my adopted brother got married. I stayed there for a few days, fought against the grassland heroes, and went to the border wilderness to leave a monument." Jiang Wang's

His voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke: "By the way, I made a real point..."

Emperor Qi said: "I heard that Emperor Mu promised you ten thousand households?"

At this moment, Jiang Wang's hair was all heavy and heavy.

This question is not easy to answer. If you advance, you will offend Emperor Qi, if you retreat, you will offend Emperor Mu.

Thousands of immortal thoughts flashed crazily in his mind, and finally he said calmly: "It shows that His Majesty's vision is recognized even by Emperor Mu."

The emperor stretched out his dragon sleeves and turned around. Although the height difference between the two of them was not far apart, at this moment, they seemed to be leaning over the sky and looking down at the world!

"Glib talk! I'm tired of hearing it. Weigh the pros and cons, I won't offend you, just be that roly-poly! What's the difference between you and Bowang Hou now?"

Jiang Wang thought to himself, that's better than having you find an excuse to use the imperial staff, right?

But he only said: "Bo Wanghou has served the country for generations and has far-reaching wisdom. He is in Qiancheng, Daqi. If I can be half as smart as him, I will burn high incense."

The emperor's eyes fell on him, light and airy, but like mountains and seas: "You took my book with you before, are you here to return it now?"

"Not yet." Jiang Wang said decisively: "I have already gone through the set that Your Majesty gave me and made too many notes... But I can buy Your Majesty a new hardcover set from the Tiandu Collection."

"Historical Swordsman Cuts the Sea" contains thousands of words. If it were really collected by Tiandu, the price would be astonishing.

The emperor raised his voice slightly: "You are rich now. Why don't you come here to show off to me?"

"Your Majesty, you should know that my pocket is empty! Just to avoid disappointing you, I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy books and give them as gifts!"

"Where are the books?"

"Ah?" Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment: "Do you really want it?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly said: "The common people will immediately borrow money to buy books and give them to the emperor!"

"What a lousy real person you are, your hands are empty and your wallet is empty!" the emperor said coldly: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Can't you look at the elders?"

The emperor said "ha": "How dare you ask me back."

Jiang Wang took a few steps back warily, bowed and said, "I'm sorry to you, common man."

The emperor originally didn't want to take action, but now he couldn't help but kick him over: "Where can you hide?"

It's not that Jiang Wang didn't want to dodge this kick, but that he really couldn't dodge it.

He obviously saw the boots, and he obviously didn't look very fast, but he just couldn't react. The newly-achieved Yuanshen seemed to be demented, and he only became active after he turned over in the temple.

In order to avoid being beaten twice, Jiang Wang hurriedly dug into his heart and said loudly: "I really came to see the Emperor, and I also wanted the Emperor to see me! I came to the Eastern Kingdom only because of the Emperor's trust and protection.

If I have a chance, I will have the Jiang Wang that I am today——"

Emperor Qi raised his hand to interrupt his incitement: "I don't only give opportunities to you, I always give them to everyone in the world. It's just that there are not many people who can live up to the expectations, so you risked your life to seize it. What I reward is your merit, never

Your people. You have made great achievements many times, but you have fully repaid them with all your glory. You have escaped from the champion's sword on your own. I will let you go if I say I will, but will you eat the emperor's words? You owe nothing to the Eastern Kingdom, so say less.

Boring nonsense!”

Jiang Wang said sincerely: "Your Majesty can say this, but ordinary people will not think so. Jiang Wang was born in a small country, wandered for many years, and read a lot of history books, often reading new ones. He knows that the word 'fairness' is not taken for granted.' Fairness.

'The environment cannot appear naturally. It itself requires a large amount of social resources to maintain. It cannot be determined without a wise king and a holy lord, and it cannot be balanced without an upward country.

"The fact that I can grow up in a fair environment, and be able to get what I pay for is the kindness given to me by the State of Qi. Therefore, I will never hesitate to die when I go into battle to kill the enemy and gain merit for the country.

"Jiang Wang is a person who is not sensitive and wise, reckless and impulsive, entangled with himself, and often willful. If the emperor did not tolerate me, how could the world be able to stand upright? If the emperor did not trust me, how would the world know my name?

"When I said goodbye, I was determined to die in retribution. I could no longer endure Zhuang Gao's envy for one more day, nor could I burden the country with my life and make enemies all over the world, so I left India and went to the west. I will repay this hatred in February!

"After that, I traveled six thousand miles into the wilderness, entered the cave, and slayed the demon... During these important moments in life, I often think of the Emperor.

"I think the Emperor treats me with great sincerity, and I also regard the Emperor as my elder, so I look at the Emperor——

"I hope that the young man who used to bare his clothes to show his wounds has truly grown into the strong man in His Majesty's heart!"

Jiang Wang spoke sincerely, while Emperor Qi listened with a blank expression.

The loud roar that filled the hall finally dispersed and echoed.

The emperor then said: "Is the purple cloth still there?"

The first time Emperor Qi met Jiang Wang was in Donghua Pavilion. At that time, Chong Xuansheng took Jiang Wang there and "naked his clothes." Emperor Qi did not speak to him during the whole process, and only looked at the scars all over his body.

Announced——

"Give me a purple robe to cover the body of a strong man."

At that time, Jiang Wang only replied - "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Asking this question today shows that both the former monarch and his ministers remember the first meeting that year.

Jiang Wang raised his hands and replied with a slightly aggrieved tone: "I have always taken good care of that purple dress and set aside a special room to burn incense. Last time, Manager Han sealed the door and sealed it for me. He said that nothing in the house could be taken away...

…”

The emperor said: "The seal is good, because I asked him to seal it. You are still complaining, I didn't realize that you have this talent before!"

Jiang Wang is really aggrieved now. He is not allowed to answer questions? Then don't ask.
To be continued...
