Elder Liu, who looked surprised, also went up to have a look. He also shook his head heavily and said the same conclusion as Elder Li. Long Yin sighed and comforted him, "Wuchen, don't worry. The world is so big and there are so many capable people. There must be a way for you to recover. This is not only related to your life, but also to your Yeh family and even our Tenryū Province. I won't allow you to go on like this. "
His words were really seasoned. The thick-skinned people of the upper echelons were really admirable. Ye Wuchen sneered secretly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Did you come here just to visit Wuchen?"
"I came here for another matter, a very important matter." Long Yin's face became serious.
"Your Majesty, please say it." Ye Wuchen smiled and waited for him to continue. He already knew what Long Yin wanted to say next.
"When you came back, did you hear about the treasure left by Emperor Taizu of our Tenryū Province?" Long Yin frowned and stared into his eyes.
"Oh?" Ye Wuchen was stunned when he heard that. His face was full of confusion.
Long Yin, Lin Kuang, and Lin Zhan all looked at him coldly, but they didn't see any panic or falsehood in Ye Wuchen's expression. At that moment, Long Yin asked again, "Then do you remember the rusted iron sword you took from the treasury back then?"
"Of course I remember. Why does Your Majesty ask about this?"
"Is that sword still with you now?" Long Yin's breathing was obviously heavier. Ye Wei and Ye Nu were also surprised. They didn't know the inside story before.
Ye Wuchen shook his head and said calmly, "Of course it's not with me. Why would I keep a rusty, ordinary iron sword with me?"
Long Yin suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's not with you? Then why did you choose the most inconspicuous iron sword out of so many treasures? "
"It's very simple." Ye Wuchen smiled and said casually, "Just as Your Majesty said, there are all kinds of rare treasures in the treasury. Anyone who can enter the treasury is priceless. However, it just so happened that a rusty ordinary iron sword was placed together with so many treasures. It was impossible for people not to pay attention to it. As the saying goes, there must be a reason for something abnormal. At that time, my curiosity was aroused, and I impulsively chose that iron sword. However, after observing it for a few days, I didn't find anything special about it. After feeling disappointed, I had no choice but to discard it. URL "
"Discard?" Long Yin's body stiffened. He tried to remain calm and asked, "Where did you throw it?"
Ye Wuchen shrugged and said, "It's just an inconspicuous iron sword. How could I possibly remember where I lost it? Your Majesty, is there really a mystery behind it? "
Long Yin's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice, "Elder Li, you were the one who took him to the treasury. Tell him."
"Yes." Elder Li stepped forward and said, "That iron sword was left behind by Emperor Taizu. He had strictly ordered his descendants to never discard or destroy it unless the day of the destruction of the country came. The successive Emperors of Tenryū Province have obeyed this order and have always hidden it in the heavily guarded treasury. However, out of curiosity, they had carefully studied the sword without destroying it, but they didn't find anything strange. Over time, they thought that this was the sword used by Emperor Taizu on the battlefield before he established Tenryū Province. It could be said that it was the sword that founded the country. If it was discarded or damaged, it would be a sign of the destruction of the country. "
"However, just ten months ago, the tomb of Emperor Taizu was invaded by a group of mysterious villains. All the guards were killed on the spot, and no one survived. When we arrived, Emperor Taizu's tomb had already been ransacked. Not only were the countless treasures buried with him looted, but even the coffin in which Emperor Taizu was buried had disappeared. "
"After this happened, the Emperor was furious and investigated this matter on a large scale. However, the methods of that group of villains were so high that they didn't leave any clues. They searched for a whole month without finding anything. However, at this time, a shocking rumor suddenly spread throughout the Tianchen Continent. According to the rumor, someone found a mysterious posthumous edict in the sleeve of the dragon robe that the Tai Zu Emperor of the Sky Dragon Country wore when he was buried. The posthumous edict said that before the Tai Zu Emperor established the Sky Dragon Country, he plundered the world and accumulated a shocking amount of wealth. After Emperor Taizu established the country, in order to prevent his descendants from being greedy for comfort and neglecting the affairs of the country, he hid this huge amount of wealth in a mysterious place in the Tianchen Continent. He asked people to make a special iron sword and sealed the map in the sword. He also told his descendants not to discard the sword. It must not be destroyed unless the country is in danger. Even if the country is destroyed, as long as they get this wealth, they can make a comeback. "
"The rumor spread like wildfire in the Tianchen Continent in just a month. Almost everyone knew about it. Because of this, many thieves with unique skills and greed sneaked into the Imperial Palace in the past year. Although they were all killed, they still caused a lot of trouble. And the iron sword mentioned in the posthumous edict is the one you took back then! "After saying that, Elder Li glanced at Ye Wuchen and retreated behind Long Yin.
Hearing this, Ye Wuchen nodded slowly, "So that's how it is. It really is an amazing rumor. Did the Emperor come to take back this sword? "
"Yes. This rumor can explain the instructions left by my ancestor to the iron sword. It can be seen that this rumor is not false. If our Tenryū Province can get this wealth, whether it is the army, agriculture, or labor, we will have great progress in a short time. At that time, we will not be afraid of the Great Wind Nation. "Long Yin said with a serious face.
"The Emperor is right, but that iron sword is not with me anymore. If I knew this sword was so precious, I would not have abandoned it." Ye Wuchen shook his head regretfully.
"Nonsense, you must be greedy for the huge wealth left by Emperor Taizu and hid the sword!" Lin Zhan stood up and pointed at him angrily.
Ye Wei and Ye Nu's faces suddenly changed, and they looked at each other angrily. Long Yin didn't say anything. He quietly looked at Ye Wuchen to see how he would react. Ye Wuchen looked at Lin Zhan and said calmly, "General Lin, although you are an elder, I have to teach you more. I haven't seen you for three years, but you still haven't made any progress. When I was talking to the Emperor, you suddenly interrupted. This is a crime of disrespect to the Emperor. Without any evidence, you slandered me. This is a crime of recklessness and ignorance. Wuchen is already paralyzed, so it is useless to have a treasure. Not only will it bring no benefits, but it will also attract the attention of the world and cause countless disasters. You still dare to say such a simple thing. This is — — stupid! "
When Lin Zhan spoke, he already began to regret in his heart. In the past, no matter when he had a verbal confrontation with Ye Wuchen, he was always asking for humiliation. At this time, although Ye Wuchen's body was disabled, his tongue was not disabled. As expected, as soon as he spoke, Ye Wuchen calmly said that there was nothing good about it. Moreover, every word was reasonable, so he couldn't refute it. At that moment, his shame turned into anger, and he sneered, "I, Lin Zhan, am indeed a good-for-nothing, but I don't need a little trash like you who can't even stand to lecture me."
Ye Wei's expression suddenly changed. Ye Nu was even more furious. He clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds. In his rage, he was about to punch Lin Zhan. However, Ye Wuchen laughed out loud, "Well said, you are indeed Lin Zhan. In the whole world, perhaps only you, Lin Zhan, can say such words. I heard that you were conferred the title of General of the South. May I ask, how many enemies have you killed in your middle age? As far as I know, not even one. More than 20 years ago, during the war between my Tenryū Province and the Dafeng Nation, you, Lin Zhan, happened to be unwell and didn't even dare to go to the battlefield. As for whether it was merely a coincidence that he was ill, that was something worth pondering. Although I, Ye Wuchen, am not talented, I have cut off the arms of the Dafeng Nation's royal family in one day, and killed tens of thousands of soldiers. May I ask, how do I compare to you, Lin Zhan? Why don't I have the right to teach you a lesson? Lin Zhan, General Lin, to say something that you may not want to hear, you, who have lived until your middle age without any achievements, are the real waste. If it wasn't for the Lin family behind you, with your ability, even if you were reduced to a beggar on the street, I'm afraid that no one would be willing to give you charity … "
"Shut up!" Long Yin angrily interrupted Ye Wuchen's words, "You are so noisy in front of me, do you have any respect for me?!"
Lin Zhan's face turned pale after hearing Ye Wuchen's vicious words. His whole body trembled with anger, and he wanted to shout loudly in his heart.
Ye Wuchen turned his gaze to Long Yin, narrowed his eyes, and asked calmly, "Your Majesty, since you don't want to see us quarrel, why didn't you say anything when Lin Zhan spoke, but when Wuchen spoke, you scolded him? Aren't you afraid of making people's hearts go cold with such shallow favoritism? "
Once Ye Wuchen's words came out, the atmosphere immediately changed. No one thought that Ye Wuchen would say such disrespectful words. Ye Nu's brows slightly wrinkled, and he lightly shouted, "Chen'Er, don't be presumptuous."
Just as he finished speaking, Ye Wei gently pulled on the corner of his clothes, and then shook his head slightly at him. Ye Nu understood and didn't say anything else. Ye Wuchen wasn't an impulsive person, and his thoughts were very meticulous. There must be a reason for him to say such disrespectful words.
Lin Zhan, who had just suffered a bellyful of anger, couldn't help but feel refreshed. He thought that this brat's arrogance was boundless, to actually say such words in front of the emperor.
As expected, Long Yin's expression became unsightly, but it immediately eased up a bit, "Wuchen, what do you mean by that?"
"The meaning in my words is very clear. Your Majesty shouldn't be a stupid person. Speaking of which, Wuchen hadn't returned home for three years. He originally thought that Your Majesty specially came to visit him, and he was a bit moved. He didn't expect that Your Majesty came to question and ask for an iron sword. Now that Your Majesty failed to ask for it, Your Majesty, can you leave now? "
Ye Wuchen still spoke calmly, but everyone's expression changed again and again. Even Elder Li's and Elder Liu's faces were visibly moved. No one would expect that Ye Wuchen, who had just returned home, would ridicule the emperor like this, and at this time, he even asked him to leave. In HAO3
