Crossing the Sword

Two rows of guards marched in and stood on both sides of the corridor. Their movements were neat and skillful, obviously after countless drills. At this time, a middle-aged man in black clothes slowly walked in, his face somewhat gloomy and arrogant.

Ye Shisan looked at him with disdain. No one knew how powerful this Black Emperor was, but he put on airs very well.

When everyone present saw him like this, they all knelt down and praised him respectfully: "Long live His Majesty the Black Emperor. Long live, long live!" Their attitude once again confirmed the identity of the visitor, and Ye Shisan also hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"How dare you!" When one of the Black Emperor's personal guards saw that Ye Shisan did not kneel, he immediately shouted, "You don't kneel when you see the Black Emperor. Do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor?" As he said that, he was about to step forward to arrest him, but was stopped by the Black Emperor with a wave of his hand.

The Black Emperor looked at Ye Shisan with interest, and then a smile appeared on his gloomy face and he said, "This should be Mr. Ye from Shennong Country, right?"

Ye Shisan said: "That's me."

The Black Emperor nodded and said, "Mr. Ye is an important official of the Shennong Kingdom. When you come to Sanmiao, you can only perform diplomatic etiquette. How can the etiquette of the Sanmiao monarch and ministers be used on you? Haha, there is no need to be polite. Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After everyone stood up, the Black Emperor asked Ye Shisan again, "I have always admired Emperor Yan. I wonder if he is in good health now?"

Ye Shisan said: "Emperor Yan is in good health, thank you Black Emperor for your concern."

The Black Emperor praised Ling Fei again, and then said to everyone present: "I still have government affairs to deal with, so I won't disturb your interest. Everyone continue, get up and go back to the palace." Ye Shisan wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of person this Black Emperor is, but now he has no chance, so he can't help but feel a little regretful. However, he thought about how he had a long talk with Ju Mang all night, and spent several months with Yan Emperor, but he still couldn't see through them. He thought that even if the Black Emperor stayed, he would hardly gain anything, so he felt relieved.

After the Black Emperor left, everyone started to eat and drink. The man who had looked at Ye Shisan coldly snorted and said, "A yellow-haired boy dared to come to Sanmiao Country to cheat under the banner of Emperor Yan. He is so bold!" His voice was neither loud nor soft, and everyone present heard it clearly.

Ye Shisan didn't remember when he had offended this person. He turned to Ling Fei and asked, "General Ling, who is this brother?"

Ling Fei was also a little unhappy about the man's lack of respect, but it was not easy to scold him in person. He smiled bitterly and explained to Ye Shisan: "That is the largest gambling house in Shangdang. The owner, Xu Zuo, who makes a lot of money every day, is also very good at martial arts. I made friends with him because I saw that he had a lot of insights into martial arts, but I didn't expect that he had such poor cultivation. Please forgive me, Mr. Ye."

When Ye Shisan heard the name of Susano, he immediately had the intention to kill, but he knew that the time and place were not suitable for killing, so he immediately suppressed the intention to kill. He turned to Ling Fei and said, "Since General Ling is not very satisfied with him, I will teach him a lesson, I believe General Ling will not be offended, right?"

Ling Fei listened, showing an expression of watching a good show, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I just want to watch the fun."

Ye Shisan stood up and said, "I have heard what this gentleman said just now. It seems that you are very dissatisfied with me and doubt my identity, right?"

Susano thought Ye Shisan was going to ignore him, and was about to provoke him again when he heard Ye Shisan standing up and asking. He glanced at Ye Shisan coldly and said, "So what?"

Ye Shisan continued calmly, "His Majesty the Black Emperor has just confirmed my identity, and you still say this. Then I would like to ask, are you implying that your vision is much higher than His Majesty the Black Emperor's?" He secretly thought to himself: It seems that I really have a talent for gossiping, hehe...

"I didn't!" Susano immediately denied it, but in his heart he wanted to kill Ye Shisan on the spot. The Black Emperor was the one who paid the most attention to the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects among the six monarchs. If his words just now and Ye Shisan's words were heard by the Black Emperor, he would definitely suffer the consequences. He stared at Ye Shisan with murderous eyes again and said angrily: "You are slandering me!"

Ye Shisan's attitude was very calm. He gave him an infuriating smile and said, "Don't be too angry. It's easy to say the wrong thing when you're angry. I'm a magnanimous man. As long as you take back what you just said and apologize to me, I won't pursue the matter any further."

Xue Jia and Ling Fei beside him laughed inwardly, the latter thinking: "I didn't expect that Mr. Ye actually has such a cunning side. It seems that Susano is going to be unlucky today."

Susano also calmed down and said carefully: "I'm sorry, I can't apologize to a bad boy like you! If you have the ability, you can say it back." Although this sentence was not very polite, Ye Shisan did not find any flaws that could be used to make use of it.

Ye Shisan shook his head and sat down, saying, "Forget it. If a dog bites me, should I bite it back?"

Susano slammed the table and stood up and said, "Ye Shisan, you are the dog!"

Ye Shisan said helplessly: "I am an important official of Shennong Kingdom. In Sanmiao, I naturally represent Shennong Kingdom and Emperor Yan. If you scold me like this, it is probably equivalent to insulting Emperor Yan. At the same time, I am as famous as Emperor Yan..." He stopped talking here, and Xue Ling and the other two were amazed. This Ye Shisan's tongue is really powerful. If he continues, it will not be surprising that Susano will be executed along with his entire clan.

Seeing that Susano stopped talking, Ye Shisan naturally refused to let him go and continued to ask, "I wonder what your name is and where you made your fortune?"

Susano looked at Ye Shisan warily and said in a cold voice: "My name is Susano, and I opened a gambling house in Youdu City. What do you want?"

Ye Shisan continued to smile and said, "Today is General Ling's celebration banquet, so let's stop making trouble. How about we add some spice to the party? The loser has to apologize in public."

"Let's bet. Am I afraid of you? Tell me, how do we bet?"

Ye Shisan held up three fingers and said, "I will do three moves in sequence. If you can imitate them, you win. Otherwise, you have to apologize. How do you do it?"

"Okay, I'll admit defeat!"

"Okay, first move." Ye Shisan put his hands on the table and tapped his fingers irregularly. He was actually imitating the action of typing on a keyboard, and the words he wanted to type were "Susano is SB!"
