Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 346 Anyang Jun

Shangqiu is the capital of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the capital of the Xia and Shang dynasties that have been destroyed.

The city walls here are tall, and the city covers a vast area. It is a very rare ancient city in Kyushu, and there are many ruins of ancient dynasties.

Huan Chang came to Shangqiu on Xiaohei, and was also impressed by the magnificent ancient capital with its simple charm.

"This Shangqiu really deserves to be the ancient capital of the three dynasties. Just this aura makes people feel awe-inspiring."

Huan Chang stood outside the city for a long time, then adjusted his mood and walked towards the city.

Although the State of Song was a small country, both in terms of land area and population, Shangqiu was bustling with people, and its prosperity was even higher than that of Qufu, the State of Lu.

Huan Chang shuttled through the streets, watching the endless stream of people, listening to the cries of hawkers, suddenly felt that this kind of life was more real.

Huan Chang walked the streets for a long time before he found an inn to stay in, and then spent several days learning about the capital city of Shangqiu.

After half a month, Huan Chang was roughly familiar with Shangqiu.

"My life experience should be related to the Song Dynasty's clan, but how can I get close to the Song Dynasty's clan?"

Huan often has some troubles.

Shujiange has been away from Song State for 300 years. Even though Song State has gradually weakened or even been invaded by other vassal states in these years, Shujiange has never stood up to help.

Huan Chang didn't know whether, 300 years later, his identity as the heir of Shujiange would be able to receive a grand reception in Song Dynasty.

"Jiang Xiaobai is very close to Li Jian. As soon as Ah Niu got the inheritance from Piaoxue Peak, Zhao, Wei, and Han couldn't wait to win him over."

"I just don't know that after so many years, does the Song Dynasty clan still remember Shujian Pavilion?"

Huan Chang had a struggling look on his face, but he was hesitating whether to reveal his identity.

However, after thinking for a long time, Huan Chang finally felt that there might be some unknown secrets between Shujian Pavilion and the current Song Dynasty clan.

Before figuring out these secrets, Huan Chang decided not to reveal his identity.

Fortunately, there were not many warriors in the Song Dynasty, and information was not shared between temples and rivers and lakes. Even if Huan Chang had made a great name in the rivers and lakes, he might not be remembered by the princes.

After all, the vassal states are all dominating one side, and they rarely care about warriors below the realm of transformation.

And just as Huan Chang wandered around the rivers and lakes and rarely got news about the princes from the warriors, the princes and officials rarely talked about the rivers and lakes.

Sometimes, it is even a taboo to talk about Jianghu affairs in the temple.

Of course, people like Fang Li, Ji Bo, Zhongqiu, and Han Shaoyun are not quacks.

"If I don't reveal my identity, it may not be easy for me to get close to Song Dynasty's clan to investigate my background."

Decided not to reveal his identity, but Huan Chang felt a bit difficult.

The State of Song is not the State of Qi. The monarch of the State of Qi is thirsty for talents, and he will spare no effort to recruit no matter whether he is a scribe or a warrior.

Ke Huanchang traveled for so many days in Song State, only to find that Song State is very conservative and rejects warriors. It is not easy for warriors to become an official in Song State.

Even if he could become an official, it would be difficult for him to be valued by the powerful clan of Song Dynasty, let alone meet the king of Song Dynasty.

"What on earth should I do?"

Huan Chang frowned, and walked aimlessly around the city, thinking about how to get close to the Song Dynasty's clan and investigate the origin of his life experience.

Huan Chang also wanted to know what happened between Shujiange and Song State back then, which caused Song Xianggong's lineage to be almost wiped out, and even the founder of Shujiange was seriously injured and dying.

Just when Huan Chang was frowning, two middle-aged scribes passed by.

"Brother Qi, you and I have been in Shangqiu for more than two months, and we don't have much belongings left. If we still can't find an errand, I'm afraid we won't even have enough money to travel home."

"If it really doesn't work, we should be teachers first, so that we can continue to seek a future while teaching students."

These two middle-aged scribes were dressed in rather old clothes, and they didn't look like the children of a big family.

Huan Chang heard the words of this scribe, and he could guess that the two of them did not get along well in Shangqiu.

"Brother Tan, although I haven't found a way to become an official during this time, I also learned that Lord Anyang is recruiting talents. With what you and I have learned, I will be reused if I go to Lord Anyang."

"Even if you are a gentleman and guest of Anyang, it is better than being a teacher."

The other scribe said in a low voice, with a blazing light in his eyes.

"I have also heard about Mr. Anyang's name, but it is rumored that only those famous scribes and noble children will be received by Mr. Anyang."

"You and I don't come from good backgrounds, and we don't have much reputation. If we go to join Lord Anyang like this, Lord Anyang may not be able to value us."

"Brother Tan's words are wrong. In the past, Mr. Anyang really only treated those famous scribes and noble children favorably, but as far as I know, as long as anyone with a skill is good, he will be treated favorably by Mr. Anyang."

"Although you and I don't have the talents to master the world, we have also read a lot of poetry and books. I don't expect that if you go to Mr. Anyang, you won't be a bright pearl."

Hearing the words, the scribe Tan could not help showing a hesitant look on his face, but he finally nodded when he thought of his current situation.

Huan Chang watched the two leave, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Mr. Anyang's name, Huan Chang, has also been heard.

This person is Song Gong's younger brother, plus he likes to recruit talents and support his followers, so he can be regarded as a very important figure in Song State.

As for Song Gong, he was the king of Song.

In countries like Qi, Chu, Zhao, Qin, and Wei, the monarch has long been called the king, but because the country of Song is weak, the monarch is still only a duke.

In fact, the Song State 300 years ago was ruled by Song Xianggong. At that time, the Song State was also very powerful and qualified to be king.

However, Duke Wen of Jin, who was the most powerful at that time, did not become king, and Duke Xiang of Song could only have the title of duke naturally. When Song State weakened later, he lost the qualification to be king.

"Anyang Jun Song Xian, as the younger brother of the Song Kingdom, can be considered a high-ranking person. If I go to join this person, I may get the news I want to know."

Huan Chang rubbed his chin, already thinking about it.

He first ordered some scribe's clothes, and then returned to the inn to foster Xiao Hei there, but he changed out of the usual samurai uniform and put on a blue shirt representing the status of a scribe.

Afterwards, Huan Chang hung Zhan Lu on his waist, and after finding out a good place, he rushed towards the mansion of Lord Anyang.

When Huan Chang came to Anyang Jun's mansion, he saw a big vermilion iron gate erected at the door, and there were unusually handsome unicorn stone statues on both sides, which were carved lifelike.

In addition, there were two armored guards standing at the door with sharp knives in their hands, with sharp eyes.

"stop!"

As soon as Huan Chang came to the door, he was stopped by the two guards, who looked at Huan Chang with a condescending attitude.
