Through Time Chapter 450

“Since the King of Wei has invited me, the King will not resist.”

Zhao Lang returned with a smile.

The drinks were readily available and soon, the two were seated opposite each other.

It was only Wei Bao on the side who looked dumbfounded, how could he not have imagined that the two men who should obviously be fighting with swords were having a drink and a laugh?

And this King of Zhao, you are too big-hearted, right?

Seeing that the two men had completely ignored themselves, Wei Bao’s heart moved slightly and he slowly felt his way outside, trying to find help.

Even if his elder brother appreciated the King of Zhao, he didn’t want the lives of the two men to be pinched in someone else’s hands like that.

Only when he reached the door, he saw two young men standing in the doorway, looking at him coldly.

Wei Bao instantly revealed an extremely embarrassed smile and said that

“I’ll go and get some wine and vegetables.”

How could Xiao Liu fall for such a trick and was about to refuse, when he heard Zhao Lang’s voice coming from inside.

“Then I’ll be grateful to Mr. Wei.”

Only then did Xiao Liu move aside.

Wei Bao froze for a moment and was about to leave when he heard his elder brother, Wei Wang Gui, also say

“Ah Bao, bring my collection of good wine here too.”

Wei Bao answered in some confusion, then went all the way out to the junction, and to the left was the outer edge of the courtyard, where all the guards were.

To the right was the courtyard where his elder brother kept the good wine.

After some hesitation, Wei Bao chose to listen to his elder brother and walked over to the right.

His elder brother had always had a good eye and was extremely reliable. Since he had given him a special explanation, he naturally had his deepest meaning.

Soon, Wei Bao returned to the room with the good wine and delivered it to the two men who were talking to each other.

“Many thanks.”

As he put the wine down, Zhao Lang smiled and said thanks.

Rather, it caused Wei Bao to freeze.

At that time, he had also poured wine for Xiang Liang, but the other party had not paid any attention to him.

“Earlier, I heard King Wei say that the world of the Great Qin is the real world, this king would like to hear more about it.”

Hearing Zhao Lang’s question, the King of Wei, Blame, pondered slightly before returning that

“Although the Great Qin tyrant was brutal, but now that the world is unified, it is only by gathering the world’s manpower, material and financial resources that we can start a great cause.”

“Look, King of Zhao, this straight road, the Great Wall, the aqueducts and so on, they are all beneficial to the people, if not for the unification of the world, how can this be done?”

Listening to the words of King Kou of Wei, Zhao Lang was slightly stunned.

This understanding of the other side was a bit profound.

Indeed, only a unified and large country could concentrate its strength to do great things.

He certainly understands this, but these things come from the insights of a previous life.

The king of Wei, Gui, could actually see so far ahead… a talent.

Zhao Lang then asked.

“Since the King of Wei has such an idea, why…”

The King of Wei, Gui, naturally understood what Zhao Lang meant, and a bitter smile appeared on his face as

“This… The great matter of family revival, my king cannot be exempted from it.”

Zhao Lang instantly understood.

Seeing through was seeing through, but one still had to face the reality of life.

So with a smile, he asked.

“I have heard that the King of Wei blames benevolence and righteousness, and if one day, let the King of Wei choose between the people and his own great work.”

“I wonder how the King of Wei would choose?”

A hint of hesitation appeared in the eyes of King Blame of Wei before he said that

“This king… I don’t know.”

Zhao Lang, however, saw something different in the other party’s hesitation.

“Also, how can we say what will happen in the future.”

“It’s getting late now, so this king will take his leave.”

“I hope, in the future, I will still be able to drink and chat with the King of Wei.”

After saying that, Zhao Lang got up extremely dryly and said goodbye, he could still rush tomorrow.

After Zhao Lang returned the way he came.

Only then did Wei Bao say.

“Big brother, this King Zhao is too…”

Wei Bao didn’t even know what to say for a moment.

At least he was a royal family of a country, but this way of Zhao Lang’s doing was just like that of a wanderer.

Wei Wang Guiao, however, said with a smile

“The King of Zhao is a wonderful man.”

Wei Bao said with a frown.

“What about Xiang’s side? Xiang’s strength is now several times stronger than the King of Zhao.”

The King of Wei said, shaking his head slightly.

“Although the Xiang clan is strong, they act in a domineering manner, and I heard that they are not submissive to the King of Chu.”

“Even though they can suppress it for a while, it will not last.”

“Alas, it’s just that we are weak, so let’s watch…”

The voice of Wei Wangguo soon dissipated into the night.

Early the next morning.

Zhao Lang then led his men out of the city, heading in the direction of the Eastern Gum County, only there was one more person in the group.

A few days later, at the entrance of the county town of Liaodong County.

A few Qin soldiers were checking for passing pedestrian travellers, and after letting a pedestrian go, one of the soldiers frowned and said.

“Why are there so many people coming from outside these two days?”

“And none of them are even close to each other.”

Another sergeant, after checking his identity, returned and

“You still don’t know? The head of the Confucian family is in our county these days.”

The sergeant froze for a moment and said that

“What’s the head of Confucianism?”

The other sergeant scoffed and

“Don’t you even know who the head of Confucianism is? That’s the head of the world’s scholars!”

“I’ll put it to you this way, it’s a bit more powerful than even our general!”

Hearing this, the sergeant who originally had little idea instantly understood and said with a bit of envy that

“That’s pretty impressive.”

Their general was very powerful.

The two were chatting when a dusty procession appeared at the gates of the city and several people went up to check their identity as usual.

“Zhao Lang… Ji Wushuang… Chen Ping…”

“All right, go in.”

When these people had gone in, a few sergeants continued where they left off, saying that

“I heard that this head of the Confucian family has come to accept disciples this time, and the arrangement is very big.”

“The disciple of the head of the Confucian family, is that even bigger than the son of our general?”

“That’s a must! Let me tell you…”

Zhao Lang, who had only just rushed back, listened to the sergeants’ conversation and cried a little.

Of course, this time it was possible to be sure of one thing.

The head of the Confucian family was now in the middle of the county!

No matter what, he must hook up with the other side this time!

“Brother Chen Ping, it’s been a hard day’s work these days, so we’d better go back to the manor and rest, and then go look for the head of the Confucian family tomorrow to see if we can meet.”

Zhao Lang had also gotten acquainted with Chen Ping these days.

Calling him brother and brother to draw some closer relations.

After all, he had already gotten the other party to Liaodong, so there was no way he would let him leave.

Chen Ping smiled and returned at this time.

“Everything is at the disposal of Gongzi Lang.”

Soon the group returned to Zhao Lang’s stately home on the spot.

Only when they entered, a servant came over and reported that

“My lord, someone has sent a message over to say that your teacher has arrived.”

“Teacher?”

Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up as he heard it and said that

“The teacher has arrived in Liaodong?!”

Zhao Lang quickly figured out that the other party must have also heard the news, of the head of the Confucian family, and followed him over.

“Where is the teacher?”

It had been a long time since he had seen the other party himself.

The servant quickly gave the address.

Zhao Lang said to the servant that

“Slave, you settle everyone down, I’m going to see the teacher.”

Looking at Chen Ping, who was slightly alone at one side, Zhao Lang invited to

“Brother Chen Ping, if you don’t mind, why don’t you come with me?”

The other party was also a Confucian scholar and had good talent.

The teacher should like it and get closer by the way.

Chen Ping readily agreed.

“That’s exactly what I want to do.”

Inside a stately home in Liaodong County.

Kongjia was conferring with several great scholars.

“Confucian head, this time to meet the court, many Confucian students have already come to the city, when is the time set?”

A Confucian asked.

Many Confucian students had already gathered in the city, but the date for the ceremony had not yet been set.

Kong A said in an extremely bland manner.

“There is no hurry, this time it is the matter of the old man announcing the initiation of disciples, so naturally we must be more cautious.”

Of course, he wouldn’t say that it was because Zhao Lang hadn’t returned yet.

The main reason was that he himself had not anticipated that he had rushed to Liaodong, but Zhao Lang had actually gone away.

The Confucian scholars though did not know what setting or not setting the time had to do with prudence.

But they did not say any more.

After all, when it comes to debates, their Confucian heads are also one of the best.

Soon, several people were talking about other things that

“Confucian head, nowadays the world is in an unstable situation, should we Confucian students attach ourselves to one side?”

“When the future, we can also be like the Legalists and rule the country with Confucianism.”

The example of the Legalists attaching themselves to the Great Qin, thus directly making Legalism a prominent school, was too memorable.

But Kongjia shook his head slightly and said that

“The disciples of Confucianism can decide for themselves, and we do not interfere.”

As the head of the Confucian family, Kong Jia was not going to let the Confucian family attach itself directly to one side, and it was impossible to avoid the Confucian disciples no matter who won anyway.

Although it would not be possible to do what the Legalists did and have a dominant family in the official government of the Great Qin.

But it is the existence and continuation of Confucianism that is most important to it.

What is more, although the First Emperor now claimed to be ill, he did not see him either.

But just by the fact that the other party dared to let himself come to Liaodong, Kong Jia guessed that the other party should not be seriously ill.

Then this world, too, would not be in great chaos, unless, of course, the First Emperor wanted the world to be in great chaos.

Kong Jia also had some suspicions in his heart, but he just could not be sure.

The other Confucian scholars were a little regretful, but they also knew that this was the safest way to go.

At that very moment, a servant came in and said.

“Master, there is a Confucian student called Zhao Lang outside the door asking for an audience.”

“Long’er?”

Kongjia’s eyes lit up and he quickly said to the other Confucian students that

“The day to observe the ceremony is set for three days later, so go and tell the others.”

Since Zhao Lang had already returned, the sooner these things were done, the better, naturally!

The Confucian student was dumbfounded, didn’t you just say that we should be more cautious?

But it was good to settle down, so the Confucians said no more and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

There were still some procedures to be followed for the ceremony.

Only then did Kong A say to the servants that

“Bring him to see me in the study.”

Now that the world was in turmoil, it was time to tell Zhao Lang his true identity.

In this way, it would also give Zhao Lang a talisman, after all, no matter which side of the power it was.

No one would want to offend the entire Confucian family.

Inside the study, Kong Jia at this time slightly straightened his clothes, today was the day to announce his identity, he was still a bit inexplicably excited.

Mainly because he couldn’t help but reveal a smile when he thought of Zhao Lang’s possible reaction later on.

After all, in Zhao Lang’s eyes, he was just a gentleman who taught in the countryside.

Now he had suddenly become the head of Confucianism, and even if Kongjia was proficient in Confucianism, he would hardly be immune to such a situation.

“Hmph, even if Long’s son is gifted, this time I have to surprise him properly so that he will know that no matter what time of day it is, he should never look down upon others.”

This is teaching by example.

That is how true education should be.

Kong A thought with some self-congratulation.

At this moment, outside the door, Zhao Lang had followed the servant into the manor.

He didn’t wonder why his teacher could live in such a nice manor, as he had said before.

Teacher also had friends in Liaodong.

He just thought about whether he should now tell his teacher about his status as the head of a farming and medical family.

After all, the world was now in turmoil, and I was afraid that it would not be safe for his teacher, a small Confucian student.

It would be better to stay honestly in his own manor.

In that case, one’s identity would definitely not be able to be concealed either.

The farm was now full of farmers and healers, and anyone who wasn’t a fool would be able to see the problem.

But one’s identity as the King of Zhao could be left out for now.

The main thing was that I was afraid of scaring the teacher.

What’s more, in the early days of the war, one had to carry the identity of the Qin army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lang quickly said to Chen Ping, who was standing by, that

“Brother Chen Ping, the conversation between me and my teacher later on may be slightly…”

Zhao Lang mulled it over and continued.

“A bit exciting, don’t take offense.”

Zhao Long didn’t intend to hide his identity from the other party anymore, after all, if he wanted to take the other party in, he didn’t have some identity strength.

The other party wouldn’t care about you.

Chen Ping froze for a moment as he listened, he couldn’t imagine how exciting a conversation between just a pair of teacher’s disciples could be.

Of course he still smiled and nodded, he and Zhao Lang were still getting along very well these days, there was no need to get upset over such trivial matters.

Soon, the two followed the servant to the study.

“Master, the Confucian scholar Zhao Lang has arrived.”

The servant knocked on the door and reported to.

Master?

Zhao Lang was slightly stunned for a moment, sensing that something was not right, this stately home belonged to the teacher?

Just as Zhao Lang was wondering, a familiar voice rang out and

“Come in.”

Zhao Lang couldn’t think much about it at this time, anyway, no matter what was going on, just ask the teacher directly.

Pushing the door in, Zhao Lang then finally saw the familiar figure of

“The student has met the teacher.”

Kong A saw Zhao Lang also said with a bit of emotion.

“Long time no see, Lang’er.”

Both of them asked about each other’s recent condition with concern, but they did not notice Chen Ping on the side, who was looking at Kong A with a slight daze.

While Chen Ping looked at the old man in front of him, another figure emerged in his mind.

It was when he was still quite young, poor but fortunately he met a rich wife later on and then travelled around to study.

During that time he was fortunate enough to have met the head of the Confucian family and heard the other man lecture, which was extremely memorable to him.

But for some reason, the teacher of Gongzi Lang before him was somewhat similar to the other.

But it was impossible to think about it.

Let’s say that before, the first time Gongzi Lang had met him, he had said that he wanted him to introduce the head of the Confucian family to him.

After the two had become acquainted, Zhao Long also mentioned his teacher, who was just a countryside pedagogue.

So, in any case, it was unlikely that the two had anything to do with each other.

One can only sigh and say that there is nothing strange in the world.

It is amazing that there are people who look so much alike.

At this time, Zhao Lang also introduced to the teacher that

“Teacher, this is Chen Ping, a close friend of the student whom I met on the road, also a Confucian student.”

Confucius A smiled and nodded his head, and said, seemingly with reference

“Just in time, at this time, I do need a witness as well.”

“Long’er, today my teacher has something to tell you.”

“I had no choice but to hide something from you before.”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang froze for a moment, and then said with a smile.

“Teacher, the student also happens to have some things he wants to tell you, I hope you won’t be blamed.”

“Of course, you speak first.”

Kong A knew this nature of his own student that refused to suffer, but this time, there was no way he would let the other party find his way back to the field, and without hesitation, he said with a smile.

“Good, the teacher wants to tell, in fact, the teacher is now the head of Confucianism.”

Bang.

At these words, there was a muffled bang from the side.

Chen Ping, who was sitting on the ground, had only one thought in his mind.

This conversation, did it turn out to be so exciting?
