Chapter 490
The three prefectures are full of flowers, and the eight rivers flow around the city. It is said that Chang'an City, with 36 flower willow alleys and 72 orchestral buildings, is the most prosperous capital in Nanzhanbuzhou.

On the bank of the Jing River outside Chang'an City, there lived two sages, one was a fisherman named Zhang Shao, and the other was a woodcutter named Li Ding.Both of them were literate and hyphenated characters. Although they did not take the imperial examination, they both had the talent of Jinshi.

On this day, the two entered the same tavern after selling fish and firewood respectively in the Chang'an city market, and got very drunk.

"Boss, I want to take another bottle of wine." Zhang Shao and Li Ding said together.

The boss shook his head, and asked the waiter to give them a bottle of wine each, and at the same time make another note in the account book.

"The more you drink, the poorer you get, and the poorer you get, the more you drink. It's really hopeless!"

The two left the tavern with a bottle of wine given by Xiao Er.

They walked back slowly along the banks of the Jing River.

"Brother Li, I think that those who compete for fame and fortune will lose their bodies and die for fame and fortune; those who accept the favor of the imperial court are like sleeping with a tiger in their arms or walking away with a snake in their arms. .” Zhang slightly said.

"Brother Zhang is right." Li Ding said, "It's just that your beautiful water is not as good as mine!"

"Huh?" Zhang slightly looked over.

His eyes sharpened, as if he was saying: Do you want to fight?

Li Ding did not show any weakness, his expression was startled, his eyes looked back, his eyes were piercing, as if he was responding: let's fight!
Zhang thought for a while, and then said: "Your mountain is not as beautiful as my water. There is a poem "Butterfly Love Flower" as evidence: the misty waves are thousands of miles away, and the boat is small, quietly leaning on the solitary canopy, and the voice of Xi Shi surrounds you. Cleaning your heart and mind, fame and fortune, idle climbing Polygonum Spike and reed grass. Count the sand gulls and enjoy the road, the willow bank and the reed bay, and the wife laughs together. I sleep peacefully in the wind and waves, without glory, humiliation, and trouble."

Without hesitation, Li Ding continued: "Your water is not as beautiful as mine. There is also a poem "Butterfly Love Flower" as proof, which says: A section of Yunlin is full of pine flowers..."

The two were quite talented, reciting poems and reciting lyrics, and they confronted each other for seven rounds in a row, neither winning nor losing.

Finally, they reached the fork in the road, and the two bowed to say goodbye.

"Brother Li, take care on the way! Go up the mountain and watch the tiger carefully, if you meet a tiger, you will lose an old friend on the street tomorrow!" Zhang Shao didn't push Li Ding down before, feeling a little upset in his heart, and his words were a little unpleasant.

"You are lazy, a good friend can die for you, why are you cursing me instead?" Li Ding scolded immediately, "If I meet a tiger and get murdered, you will surely be drowned in the waves!"

Zhang slightly calmed down: "I will never cross the river in my life."

Li Ding sneered and said, "Unpredictable things happen in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune. Why are you so sure?"

Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li, even though you say that, your business of cutting firewood in the mountains is not predictable, but my fishing business is predictable, and you will definitely not encounter any danger."

Li Dingdao: "It's extremely dangerous for you to make a living on the water, how can you expect it?"

Zhang hesitated for a while, but stopped talking.

"You don't know how to brag, do you?" Li Ding made a violent move.

If it was normal, with Zhang Shao's wisdom, naturally he would not be provoked.But now he is full of old wine, it is when his intelligence is low, once the alcohol smell rises, he can't control himself.

"You don't know that in Chang'an City, on Ximen Street, there is a man who sells divination. I give him a golden carp every day, and he will teach me a lesson. Follow the direction he pointed out, always Come back with a full load, and there will be no storms. Today I went to buy hexagrams, and he told me to cast the net in the east of Jinghe Bay, and cast fishing in Xi’an. I will definitely get a lot of money. Tomorrow, I will go to the city to sell the fish for money, and then talk to my brother .”

After speaking triumphantly, Zhang Shaobian bid farewell to Li Ding.

Zhang Shao didn't expect that his slip of the tongue after drinking would lead to a tragedy, which not only caused him to lose a good deal, but also caused a dragon king to lose his life.

Talking on the road, there are people in the grass.

There is a Yaksha patrolling the water in the Jinghe Water Mansion, who is taking a nap in the water plants on the bank at the moment. Hearing these words, he hurried back to the Jinghe Crystal Palace and reported the matter to the Dragon King, saying: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster! !"

"What's the proper way to be flustered? If you have something to say, tell me in detail!" Jinghe Dragon King was practicing with his eyes closed, and when he saw Yasha's appearance, he felt a little hesitant.

Yasha had no choice but to start from the beginning: "When I patrolled the river, I heard a fisherman and a woodcutter talking on Ximen Street in Chang'an City. When they parted, they spoke fiercely and cursed each other. The fisherman said: On Ximen Street, there is a divination man who is the most accurate in his calculations. He gives him a golden carp every day, and he will teach him a lesson and teach him to fish hundreds of times. Fight? The water tribe is withered, and the water mansion is desolate, and there are no servants jumping over the waves to show the majesty of the king."

After hearing what Yasha said, the Dragon King of Jinghe couldn't calm down immediately, and became angry secretly.

He hastily raised his sword, and was about to go to Chang'an City to kill the fortune teller.

"Your Majesty, calm down." The sons and grandsons of the dragon, the officials and the crabs, the soldiers of the shad army, the mandarin mandarin fish, and the carp tazai flashed by. Clouds and tigers follow the wind, and when the king goes, there must be clouds and rain to help him. I am afraid that the people of Chang'an will be shocked. At that time, the Jade Emperor will blame him. The king's magic power is unpredictable, and he can change in no way. All he needs to do is to become a scholar and arrive in the city of Chang'an , visit, if there is such a capable person, it will not be too late to kill; if there is no such person, but there is no need to go to war, just a small punishment and a big punishment."

The Dragon King obeyed the advice, discarded the sword, and did not spread the clouds to spread the rain. He came out of the river and landed on the bank. Using his magic power, he transformed into a white-clothed gentleman.

He is handsome and majestic, with jade-colored robes.

The Dragon King of Jinghe pulled away Yunbu and went straight to the Ximen Avenue in Chang'an City.

I saw a group of people, crowded and noisy, and some of them talked loudly: "The one who belongs to the dragon is born, and the one who belongs to the tiger is opposite..."

Hearing the words, the Dragon King knew that this was the place where he sold divinations, so he immediately stepped forward and separated the crowd. Where ordinary people could resist his strength, they were immediately separated one by one, and some impatient ones started to scold. But seeing his extraordinary appearance and the demeanor of a white dragon fish suit, he immediately dared not speak, and voluntarily backed down.

The Dragon King of Jinghe separated the crowd and looked inside.

I saw a rather spacious storefront, full of beautiful flowers, the walls were decorated with pearls and jade, spices were burned in the cauldron, and exquisite scrolls were hung on both sides.In the middle is a gentleman with a strange appearance and a beautiful appearance.

"It turned out to be him!" Jinghe Dragon King was taken aback.

Who is this gentleman?

It turned out to be Yuan Shoucheng, the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, Mr. Taizheng, Qintian Supervisor of the current dynasty!

Yuan Shoucheng is well-known in the great powers, and he is the most skilled in Chang'an. Even the Dragon King of Jinghe has heard of his reputation.

Yuan Shoucheng sat behind the table and closed his eyes intently.

At this time, he seemed to feel the eyes of the Dragon King, and suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the Dragon King.

"The honored guest is coming, please forgive me for being too far away to welcome you."
