Chapter 798 Respect and Fear
Li Changxiao left the "Haoxiang Restaurant" and walked on the main street. He couldn't help but think of the past transactions. Li Changxiao helped Wang Ruyi correct the chaos of incense, and Wang Ruyi returned him a prosperous Dayu. Both of them did it.
Now, not only the incense and the chaos have disappeared. Most of the cultivators have died one after another. Even if Li Changxiao released his power and flew high in the sky, I am afraid no one would be able to detect it.
He went to the palace and took a look at the current King of Dayu. He was an old man in his seventies or eighties, with white hair, handling government affairs. Li Changxiao stood in front of the imperial study and stared for a long time.
After the Battle of the South China Sea, Wanxian reclaimed the sea. Li Changxiao stayed in Dayu for several more years. He said he was bored and decided to continue running a medical clinic in Dayu. In fact, Wang Ruyi was trying to keep him, so Li Changxiao stayed to keep him company.
During this period, she often came to the Imperial Study to help Wang Ruyi take care of her body. She was still a mortal after all, and even if she had all kinds of experiences and remained beautiful, she would always have problems with her body due to the daily toil and mental strain.
Li Changxiao has become an imperial physician. When he is treating his body, he is inevitably involved in some government affairs. After seeing this, he felt a headache. The little insights he had accumulated from his previous life are far from enough today. So he dare not comment casually. Professional matters need to be handled by professionals. Li Changxiao's fighting skills are already first-class. Even in today's world, it can be said that his level is rare. However, he is far inferior to Wang Ruyi, who has a life span of only a hundred years, in governing the country and the people.
Li Changxiao looked at it for a long time, then left again. A moment after he left, the king raised his head and frowned at the place where Li Changxiao had stood before.
His intuition told him that someone had just stood there for a long time, as if staring at him. He checked the palm-sized mirror, which could retain images for several days.
He took out the sparkler and lit the "projection lamp". The light shone on the mirror, reflecting the past portraits. He frowned and observed, wondering if he had been too busy recently and had hallucinations. Or was someone trying to assassinate him?
Seeing that no figure appeared in the mirror, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to be hallucinating than to have someone standing at the door looking at him without him knowing it. Just as he was about to blow out the "shadow lamp" and continue to handle government affairs.
Suddenly, a pair of black boots came into view. Following closely, a tall man stood at the door. He was dressed in white, with an indescribable temperament and a very handsome face. He had a sword and a bottle of wine on his waist. His clothes were actually a little messy, with loose cuffs and chest, and a few wrinkles.
The King of Dayu was horrified, and his first thought was that someone had sneaked into the palace to assassinate him, so he immediately drew the sword from his waist. But suddenly he paused, staring blankly at the sword in his hand, and vaguely found that it was very similar to the sword of the swordsman in white.
He looked at it carefully. Due to the angle, he could only see the scabbard and the blade of the sword. But the scabbard was exactly the same. The sword in his hand was the "King's Sword" of Dayu, symbolizing the imperial power of Dayu and the key to mobilizing the "King of Mountains and Seas".
At first, some people thought that this sword looked plain and lacked the domineering aura that a "king's sword" should have. But as time went by, once this sword was used, it would cause a bloody storm, so no one dared to underestimate it anymore.
King of Dayu was a disciple of Wang Ruyi. Although he had never heard the master's oral tradition, he actually knew that the "King's Sword" of Dayu was originally just a long sword that was imitated by King Ruyi of Dayu at that time according to his memory in order to commemorate someone.
Because she held the long sword, it later became the King's Sword. The King of Dayu was a man of great talent, and certainly not a stupid person. After discovering that her "King's Sword" was almost exactly the same as the man's personal sword.
He immediately thought of a rumor. A rumor that was both delightful and shocking to him. His master... had come to see him.
This king, who controls the lives and deaths of countless people and gradually becomes intoxicated with power, is usually diligent in handling government affairs and the country is relatively clean, but he is above tens of millions of people and there is no guarantee that there will be no changes.
He was poured with a bucket of cold water. Especially when he saw the person in the painting, staring at him quietly. Those eyes were indescribably calm and deep. He knew that this kind of person could not be restricted by any power.
The imperial power of Dayu was at its peak. His words were decisive. But above the imperial power, there was still someone watching quietly. It was already late at night, and the king of Dayu was sweating all over. The fatigue from handling government affairs just now was completely swept away.
He stared at the portrait until the man left. Then his legs softened and he sat on the ground. He could not help but feel a mixture of respect and fear for this master.
For the first time in his life, he experienced this feeling. Lord Dayu came to his senses, ran out of the imperial study, knelt down with a plop, and said, "Greetings to the Grandmaster."
A faint voice came: "Get up." Then there was a light laugh, and then there was no more movement. The King of Dayu knelt on the ground, struggling all over. It was not until the eunuchs arrived that they helped him up.
The King of Dayu said, "Quick! Call Qingzhi." Not long after, Yuan Qingzhi, the disciple of the emperor, came quickly. The master and the disciple talked tremblingly, and both knew that their master, Li Changxiao, had met the two of them separately.
Yuan Qingzhi knelt down and told the king of Dayu everything in his heart, no matter how ugly or evil it was. The two of them could not sleep all night, and the more they thought about it, the more scared they became.
There is no perfect person in the world. Whether it is the current monarch or Yuan Qingzhi, there are many ugly things in their hearts. That is why the more they reflect on themselves, the more frightened they feel. Especially after seeing Li Changxiao, even though Li Changxiao is easy-going and did not deliberately scare the two of them. But the two of them scared themselves, and they were scared enough.
After that, he wrote a letter of apology for three consecutive days, which was issued in the court and spread throughout the market. As the saying goes, a gentleman is asked about deeds rather than the heart. The deeds of Dayu Guojun and Yuan Qingzhi were not serious. That "letter of apology" felt like nitpicking.
However, the sincere attitude of admitting mistakes made the officials of Dayu more honest. When the officials saw that the king of Dayu was so strict with himself, they tried to restrain their daily behavior.
