Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 67
The Spring Festival is full of joy.

Without the potential threat of the Black Sand Gang, Huan Chang can finally relax.

Not only Huanchang, but also the people of Pingyang City cheered.

Ever since Kong Wenzhao killed the city lord and seized Pingyang City by means of thunder, he began to take drastic actions.

In Pingyang, almost all the bandits were swept away.

Not only that, but Kong Wenzhao also promulgated the city lord's decree, treating the common people lightly and poorly, and treating the internal armament rectification.

For the people, they only care about security and taxation, and now that these two things are satisfactory, the people are naturally cheering.

In the courtyard, on the big bluestone, there is wine and meat.

"A Chang, do you really want to leave?"

Huan Chang's right hand holding the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and then nodded heavily.

Yang Feng looked a little depressed, but he didn't say much.

"Come on, we two brothers have a drink."

The two toasted and drank, and were very drunk amidst the roar of firecrackers.

In the early morning of the next day, Huan Chang led the black donkey, took all his belongings, and prepared to head north.

"Tap Tap!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes, and it was Kong Wenzhao who led a group of cavalry and caught up with Huanchang.

The knights are tall and fierce, well armored, and they are elite teachers at first glance.

"A Chang, why didn't you say goodbye to me when you were about to leave?"

Kong Wenzhao's eyes were full of blame.

Huan Chang hastily stepped forward to salute, and said, "Your Excellency is busy with business, so I dare not bother you too much."

For Kong Wenzhao, Huan Chang always wanted to keep him at a respectful distance, not daring to get too close to him.

In any case, Kong Wenzhao is a subordinate of the sect, and he has a strong personality.

Huan Chang worried that if he had too much contact with Kong Wenzhao, his faith would be shaken, so he kept his distance from him.

"I've seen adults!"

Yang Feng was not as casual as Huan Chang, he hurried forward to salute respectfully, not daring to neglect in the slightest.

Kong Wenzhao waved his hand to signal Yang Feng not to be too polite, then jumped off the horse and walked to Huan Chang's side.

"Achang, can I take a step to talk?"

Huan Chang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Just after the Spring Festival, the weather is still very cold, the branches in the dense forest have become bare, and the leaves have long since fallen.

Even so, the densely packed trees can still block the howling northwest wind.

Kong Wenzhao found a piece of dry grass, sat cross-legged on the ground regardless of his appearance, and then motioned Huan Chang to sit beside him.

"A Chang, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Kong Wenzhao looked straight at Huan Chang and broke the calm first.

Huan Chang was a little dazed at first, and then said: "Your Excellency is wise and powerful, willing to make decisions for the people, willing to do practical things, and is a good city lord."

Kong Wenzhao's eyes showed displeasure, and he said, "Ah Chang should know, that's not what I want to hear."

Huan Chang was silent.

In fact, in Huan Chang's view, Kong Wenzhao is elegant and full of scheming, and he does things vigorously and resolutely.

For so many years, the city lord of Pingyang has always been very beautiful, and Kong Wenzhao is almost at an absolute disadvantage.

But overnight, the situation in the entire Pingyang City was reversed.

Until now, Huan Chang didn't know why the once prestigious city lord of Pingyang was easily killed.

As immovable as a mountain, as moving as a thunderbolt, Kong Wenzhao was an extremely terrifying person.

Huan Chang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "In any case, if you think about the common people, you are a good city lord."

"And relying on the talents of great people, the prosperity of Pingyang City will be just around the corner."

Kong Wenzhao stared at Huan Chang, the beard on his chin swayed slightly, and suddenly asked: "During this time, Ah Chang, have you ever seen the living conditions of the people under the jurisdiction of Lu State on the border of Pingyang City?"

Huan Chang nodded.

Kong Wenzhao asked again: "Compared to those common people, how do the people under my Pingyang City live?"

"Under the rule of Pingyang City, the people live and work in peace and contentment. Now that the adults are in charge of Pingyang City, the lives of the people will get better and better."

Kong Wenzhao's eyes were bright and he asked, "Since this is the case, is Ah Chang willing to make more people's lives better?"

When Huan Chang heard this, his expression changed slightly.

He lowered his head, and said: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I don't have much knowledge. It is already very good to be able to take care of myself. How can I care about others?"

Kong Wenzhao shook his head and said, "Ah Chang is talented, how could I not know?"

"Maybe you are still a little immature now, but if you go through hard work, you will surely skyrocket to [-] miles in the future."

"If Ah Chang is willing to help me, the sphere of influence in Pingyang City will expand more than ten times in the future."

"In this way, more and more people will be able to accommodate them, and they will all be grateful to Ah Chang."

Kong Wenzhao's eyes were burning with the flame of ambition.

Huan Chang suddenly felt terrified, he knew that the Pingyang City Lord in front of him would never be reconciled to become just a City Lord.

He wanted to capture more cities.

Taking a deep breath, Huan Chang forcibly held back the horror in his heart.

"To be successful is to help the world, and to be poor is to be alone."

"I'm dull and embarrassing, I'm afraid I will disappoint you. But I have a word in my belly, I don't know if I should say it or not."

A look of disappointment flashed in Kong Wenzhao's eyes, and he said, "Ah Chang has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Huan Chang stared at Kong Wenzhao and said: "When the flames of war come together, corpses will be scattered all over the field, and people will die. I hope you think twice."

Kong Wenzhao's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Crash!"

The westerly wind howled, even though there were many trees in the forest, it still couldn't block all the cold wind outside.

Huan Chang, dressed in fluttering white clothes, looked at Kong Wenzhao, but there was no trace of fear on his face.

"I'm just a scholar. If there is something inappropriate in my words, I hope my lord will not take offense."

"Now that the sun is rising, it is the best time for a long journey. Farewell!"

Huan Chang clasped his fists at Kong Wenzhao, turned around and left without further words.

When Huan Chang's figure gradually disappeared, a figure appeared behind Kong Wenzhao. It was the black-clothed swordsman next to the city lord.

"My lord, this son is so ignorant, do you need to get rid of him?"

Kong Wenzhao took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "This person has a complicated background, it's best not to provoke him."

The black-clothed swordsman asked puzzledly: "This man is just a boy, why do adults value him so much?"

Kong Wenzhao stared at the direction Huan Chang left, but did not answer the black-clothed swordsman's question.

It is impossible for every person who has made great achievements to be dazzling at the beginning. They are either late bloomers, or they are not attracted.

Kong Wenzhao was very good at seeing people, even though Huan Chang was still a little immature, he could still feel that this person was extraordinary.

At this time, Huan Chang was like a potential dragon hidden in a deep pool, ready to go.

One day, he will swim across the sea and stir up the world.

"I hope that one day, we will not become enemies."

　After the first volume, Ah Chang is about to leave the country of Lu and see the magnificent mainland of Kyushu.

　　Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Chapter 2 will be released early, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
