Soon, the two came to the garden and walked into a pavilion. Ying Shou smiled and said, "King Khan, this is Hu Dong, the kingdom of King Khan."

"According to the logic, here today, I am a guest, and I should not turn my back on the guest, but obey the master's arrangement."

"But now King Khan has let me live in Bihaiyuan. Here, I should be regarded as half of the master. Now that King Khan comes to Bihaiyuan and listens to my arrangement, it shouldn't be regarded as turning against guests, right?"

Min Shan looked at Ying Shou, then at Sima Xun who was following Ying Shou every step of the way, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and forced himself to be calm: "Not counting...not counting..."

Ying Shou smiled and said, "In that case, please sit down, King Khan!"

After the words fell, Ying Shou made a gesture of invitation.

Min Shan sat down on the stone bench beside him. Ying Shou just came to the side and sat down too.

"General, order me to go down and bring up some food and wine. It's rare for me to sit at the same table with King Khan, let's have another banquet today!"

After sitting down, Ying Shou turned his head and gave instructions to Sima Xun who was beside him.

"promise!"

Sima Xun clasped his hands and turned around, leaving straight away.

Ying Shou and Min Shan were the only ones left at the scene. For a while, Min Shan's atmosphere became even more awkward.

He wanted to watch Ying Shou, but he didn't seem to dare to look more, with a cautious attitude.

Ying Shou also sat quietly, but looked up and down Min Shan, as if waiting for Min Shan to speak first.

Being stared at by Ying Shou like this, Min Shan felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if there were thousands of ants crawling on his body, that inexplicable feeling made people very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, Emperor Qin, General Sima found me two days ago and said that His Majesty Qin Huang had summoned me so that I could come and see you when I have time. See you today, I don't know what His Majesty Qin Huang is talking about?"

After being stared at by Ying Shou for a long time, Min Shan finally couldn't help it, and asked Ying Shou with a very unnatural smile on his face.

Ying Shou was taken aback for a moment, and the few words that Min Shan said echoed in his heart.

Next!Summoned!Goodbye!

Ying Shou was speechless. Can a king say such words?Even if you say it, it should be about others, how can you say it about yourself?

"Sima Xun, you are so courageous!"

Just at this time, Sima Xun had given the emperor's order and was walking back, when Ying Shou immediately scolded him.

"His Majesty……"

Sima Xun trembled all over, just as he walked into the pavilion, he knelt down on one knee and shouted hastily.

In front of Ying Shou, Min Shan also shuddered, and looked at Ying Shou with inexplicable fear, not understanding why Ying Shou was so moody, and suddenly turned on Sima Xun.

"Qin Huang, this is..."

Min Shan couldn't help but asked cautiously.

"Sima Xun, I ask you, when did I summon King Khan? And when did I say that King Khan came to visit me!"

"You are so courageous. What is King Khan's identity? How can he meet others? Even if I am the Emperor of Qin, King Khan is also the king of Donghu. How can there be any reason to summon and pay respects?"

Ying Shou shouted coldly.

As soon as this remark came out, Min Shan was immediately dumbfounded.

He also wondered why Ying Shou suddenly became angry. It turned out that it was because of this. For a while, he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to describe it.

Sima Xun was also stunned, looked at Min Shan, smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the last general never said that His Majesty summoned King Khan and asked King Khan to come and see him!"

Ying Shou raised his eyebrows, and said, "Really, what is the so-called meeting with King Khan?"

Seeing this, Min Shan quickly took up the topic, saying: "Qin Huang, don't misunderstand, this matter has nothing to do with General Sima, I just don't understand the etiquette of the Central Plains, and said something wrong!"

"I heard that in the Central Plains, people come and go with each other, and they call it a visit, and see you. Others call it a summons, so I misunderstood it!"

"General Sima has never said that Emperor Qin is here to meet you. He just said that Emperor Qin has a request. If I have time, please let me know. I hope to meet Emperor Qin!"

During the conversation, Min Shan conveyed Sima Xun's original words almost exactly.

"Is that the case?"

Ying Shou pretended not to believe it, looked at Sima Xun, and asked coldly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true!"

"Your Majesty has repeatedly warned the last general that King Khan is also a king. How can everyone trample on his dignity when he is born as a king. The last general dare not insult King Khan, so it is impossible to speak nonsense!"

Sima Xun cupped his hands and said hastily.

"So that's the case, since this is the case, then get up!"

Ying Shou nodded, and lightly raised his hand to make Sima Xun stand up.

"I said King Khan... I am polite in the Central Plains. There is no distinction between high and low in etiquette. A person with courtesy is a noble person."

"However, it doesn't matter whether you are polite or rude, sometimes, the status is high or low, and there must be a general, don't you think so?"

Turning his head, Ying Shou looked at Min Shan with a kind tone.

"What Emperor Qin said is true, it makes sense!"

Min Shan nodded repeatedly. Although he couldn't understand what Ying Shou said, he still nodded in agreement.

I have always only heard about the state of etiquette in the Central Plains, and I have never heard that there are divisions in this etiquette. Therefore, it is normal for Min Shan to be confused for a while.

"Hey, King Khan, you still don't understand what I mean! This so-called courtesy is a kind of mutual acceptance. However, as an emperor, how can you accept it?"

"A king is a king, and the whole world is under the king's feet. How can you claim to be under you when you are born a king?"

"If even the king is subordinate, what are the rest of the world?"

"You have to understand, king, you will always be on top, and it is impossible to be below!"

"In addition, only when the king summons others, only when others pay homage to the king, no king has ever been summoned by others, and no king has ever been summoned to meet others!"

"Even if this person is also a king, there is a huge difference in strength between kings and kings, but there is no distinction between high and low status!"

"Therefore, in front of me, you cannot claim to be my subordinate, and I will not claim to be my subordinate either!"

"I can obey the King Khan's invitation, but I will never obey the King Khan's summons. I will visit the King Khan, but I will never pay homage to the King Khan. This is the ceremony, the gift of the king, does the King Khan understand?"

Ying Shou smiled wryly, and for some reason, he taught Min Shan the way of being king.

Maybe it's because of the pity of this person, or maybe it's because of some other reasons.

Chapter 1240 A Sword

"Thank you, Emperor Qin, for your tireless teaching. I...no... Min Shan... I thank you. I just don’t know, what is the matter that Emperor Qin invited me here today?"

Min Shan got up, bowed his hands again, and behaved very politely.

"It's about etiquette, not teaching!"

Ying Shou shook his head, and couldn't help but sympathize with Min Shan.

It is really pitiful to have the identity of a king without the life of a king.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, to be born as a king is to be superior in itself, why is it pitiful?

Min Shan himself was incompetent and cowardly, and that was only his problem, and had nothing to do with his original identity.

But in fact, virtue does not match and is often pitiful.

The so-called virtue here is not only a person's virtue, but also represents a person's strength, which brings prestige.

That's what it means to be respected.

First of all, you have to have enough strength to have the most prestige.Only enough prestige can control enough status.

A person who has no strength and no prestige has to bear enough status. This is like a person who has no godhead but has to bear the pressure of God, living like a puppet.Sooner or later, he will only be crushed by the general trend of the world.

If this kind of people can't be called pitiful, who else in the world is more pitiful than them?

Min Shan is the poor puppet who has no godhood but has to bear the glory and pressure of God, has no prestige but has to bear the responsibility of the king.

In the face of such a puppet, it is useless to say more.

With a sigh, Ying Shou didn't intend to continue teaching.

He didn't teach others how to be a king. On the contrary, what he wanted was to take the other party's throne.

The reason why they met for the first time was because they were both in the same position.

The so-called high places are unbearably cold, Ying Shou knows very well how much pressure he has to bear in this position.

There are very few people in this world who can sit on an equal footing.After finally meeting one, it is inevitable that I feel a little sorry for the other's misery.

After regretting, what should I still do, what else to do.

"That's right, it's about etiquette, not teaching!"

Min Shan nodded quickly and followed Ying Shou's words.He has no opinion at all, basically he accepts whatever Ying Shou says.

"King Khan, is this sword handy for King Khan?"

Ying Shou shook his head, he had no intention of continuing to discuss etiquette, but turned his attention to the long sword in Min Shan's hand, changed the subject, and said with a smile.

"This sword..."

When he mentioned the sword, Min Shan's eyes lit up immediately, and he seemed to be in high spirits.

In the last moment, the expression in his eyes was still cautious, not daring to act recklessly.

But when he looked at the sword in his hand again, there was an inexplicable sharpness in his eyes.

This sharpness is not too strong, but even so, it still makes people yearn for it.

It seems that as long as this fierceness is still there, no one in the world can stop it.

If you want to say when Min Shan is like a king, maybe at this moment, he has the aura and look that a king should have.

"Qin Huang, this sword is the most precious gift that this king has learned in this life. I came here today not only to visit Qin Huang, but also to thank the gift of the sword that day!"

"I will keep this love in my heart. If one day, Emperor Qin needs me, just look at me, I will spare no effort to repay the gift of the sword that day!"

Min Shan stared at the sword in his hand, speaking plausibly.

"Qiang..."

With a clear sound, he suddenly pulled out the long sword three inches, looking at the shiny silver sword, his eyes were sharper than ever.

"Okay... okay... It seems that this sword is deeply loved by King Khan... So, I am relieved!"

Ying Shou nodded, looking at Min Shan at this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

How could he fail to see that what Min Shan wanted was never a knife or a sword, but the dignity a person should have.

He loves this sword so much, in fact, what he loves is never the sword itself, but the dignity that this sword brings to him.It was the sword that proved him, let him know that he was still a man, alive.

Sometimes, a person needs to prove that he is alive.

This kind of proof does not mean that you can breathe, talk, or walk.It is the right to choose independently.A person who doesn't even have the right to choose independently can only be regarded as a puppet at best, a walking dead puppet, it can't prove that he is still alive.

And this sword just proved Min Shan himself.

"Qinhuang, this king once said that the sword is with the people, but the sword destroys the people. This sword is my life from the day I get it. Of course, this king loves it!"

Min Shan withdrew his long sword and looked at Ying Shou with a slightly fiery look in his eyes.

"Hehe, these words came from King Khan's mouth, which makes me feel that King Khan is not a king, but more like a swordsman and a general!"

Ying Shou shook his head and smiled, gaining a deeper understanding of Min Shan.

"If possible, this king would rather be a swordsman or a general than carry thousands of miles of mountains and rivers on his back."

"It's a pity that there are some things that are destined to have no chance to choose from birth!"

Min Shan sighed, unknowingly, he had relaxed his mind and body, and was no longer on guard against Ying Shou.

"So, in the eyes of King Khan, this world has never been an honor, but a burden!"

Ying Shou laughed.

"Well, it's a pity that it's still the same sentence. Some things, after all, you have no choice. There are too many people involved. Even if you go forward with a heavy load, you can only grit your teeth and bear it!"

Min Shan nodded, and when he mentioned this matter, his expression was sad.
