Chapter 370: On Heroes

After lunch, Jiang Lang and the other two were invited to the garden again and surrounded by scholars. Jiang Lang's true identity was revealed during the meal. The scholars knew that he was the legendary general who had broken the army of thorns, and they were all curious about him. After all, such people were generally high-ranking, and that would be the young general who looked so kind in front of him.

Looking at the scholars with expectant faces on their faces, Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh slightly. He had never thought about being a hero. His original idea was to live in this troubled world. After having Zi Ling and the little guy, he thought about his family to live well. What ethnic plots, righteousness, etc. were just excuses to write high-sounding excuses. What he wanted was just to live quietly.

When Jiang Lang saw these scholars, he couldn't help but think that it was the same when he was in an orphanage. He listened to the old Red Army talking about his glorious years and remembering the glorious era in the words of the old Red Army.

But now after changing, the original listener has now become a hero.

"Is the thorn man very bad?"

Suddenly a scholar asked this.

"bad?"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "The so-called fastness depends on the angle from which point of view. Watshu hit me, the Ming Dynasty and killed my people. For the people of the Ming Dynasty, that is indeed bad, but if we look at another angle, in the eyes of Watshu, they are real heroes. Just as in your eyes, I made great contributions to the fight against Watshu this time, but in the eyes of Watshu, I am an unforgivable demon!"

"How could Brother Wang be a demon!"

Murong Yan stared at Jiang Lang with big eyes and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Wang is a hero!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and smiled, "Miss Murong, I am not a hero. The real hero is the soldiers. I just hide behind and tell them how to fight. But the people who are really bleeding and sweating on the battlefield are still them. So in terms of heroes, they are, and I am not!"

"Brother Wang is really good at joking!"

Murong Yan smiled and said, "If Brother Wang gives advice behind his back, they might be able to win?"

Jiang Lang shook his head, looked at Murong Yan with a naive face, and said, "But if there were no soldiers fighting desperately, even if I was Zhuge Liang's reincarnation, I still had no way to deal with the thousands of troops of the thorns. The general cannot do without soldiers, and the soldiers cannot do without generals!"

"What Mr. Wang said is very reasonable!"

Lord Mi, who was standing by, also spoke at this time: "One month ago, we fought with Wasai. Although we won a great victory, many soldiers also put their lives on the grassland of Wasai. In terms of heroes, they are the real heroes."

This sentence won the echo of many scholars, and then a scholar suddenly said, "I found that the two adults were just strange. Others took credit for themselves. How could you think you would retreat everything outside? Some people would definitely say this...!"

"shut up!"

Song Wenxuan suddenly said, "How can you say these words!"

"Nothing happens!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and smiled, "Now everyone is talking freely. There is no need to care about these things. As a parent official, you cannot uphold the way of guarding the people than guarding the river. Instead, you must open your mind and listen more to the people's words. You cannot just listen well instead of listening badly."

Song Wenxuan blushed and quickly bowed, "Thank you Lord Wang for your teachings."

Jiang Lang nodded, then looked at the scholar. The person who spoke was really Xie Shusheng, and then smiled and said, "Do you mean that some people think I am hypocritical, right?"|

Xie Shusheng hesitated for a while before saying, "It may be like this in the eyes of some people."

"Ha ha……!"

Jiang Lang laughed and said, "There are a hundred people, and there are a hundred kinds of thoughts. If I care about the thoughts of the whole world, wouldn't I be very tired? This person is not easy for a lifetime. If he cares too much about other people's opinions, he will eventually lose his true self. You must know that this person is living for himself, not for others. As long as he thinks it is right, do it, and don't care about other people's opinions!"

"The premise is that you cannot break the law!"

Lord Mi joked at this time, "You can't violate the law and discipline if you like!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

Jiang Lang smiled and added: "Mr. Mi can be the Minister of Justice, and is proficient in the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If you violate the law and discipline, then Master Mi will not show mercy!"

Jiang Lang's words caused laughter in the audience, and amid this laughter, the distance between everyone was unknowingly narrowed.

During the chat, someone suddenly asked, "Brother Wang, have you seen Yesen when you go to the battlefield? I heard that Yesen can eat people, right?"

"Can you eat people first?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but be stunned, and then he immediately realized that this might be what parents used to scare children, so he smiled and said, "What you said is good at cannibalizing people. Is it the parents used to scare these disobedient children?"

The scholar couldn't help but blush and said, "This is not the case, but I heard that these thorns are all barbaric countries, and their Grand Tutor is bloody and eats human flesh!"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said, "This is actually not true at all. Now some people don't know about Wats, so they have this idea. In fact, Wats are like our Ming Dynasty. They are a country. They have their own culture and customs. They are not generally considered barbaric countries. As for the one you are talking about, Yesen, who can eat people, I actually know them, they are actually an uncle!"

"Uncle?"

The people present couldn't help but be stunned. He was an uncle at first? This is the first time I heard such remarks.

"Not bad, I'm an uncle!"

Jiang Lang smiled, picked up the tea on the table, and after talking for so long, he was a little thirsty. After moistening his throat, he said again: "In fact, Yexian is not what you imagined. To put it bluntly, he is just a person. He occupies a high position, so he has ambitions and can be regarded as a hero, but once he loses these, he is just an ordinary person!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Lang gestured to Lord Mi and then said, "Now Lord Mi and I can be regarded as officials of the court. However, when we retire and return home in the future, we will be just an ordinary person. If we don't talk about it, then those children will definitely think that we are talking to two old men!"

In Jiang Lang's mind, two shadows appeared at the same time. The first one was Yingzong who was under house arrest in Nannei. He used to be the emperor who was high-ranking, but now he has no change in his clothes and food. There is only one concubine by his side. In comparison, he is not even as good as ordinary people now. After all, ordinary people still have freedom, but now he lacks freedom. The magnificent Nannei is just a cage decorated very beautifully.

As for the second person, Yesen, who was also under house arrest after the defeat. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was a high-ranking national teacher in the past, and his status in Wasai was definitely not lower than that in Tutuo Buhua. However, that was just the past. After the defeat, he had no power now. Although the Ming Dynasty did not deprive him of the right to survive, he is now just an ordinary person.

The success of the king and the defeat of the enemy is always a truth.

In this way, the conversation with the book lasted for half an afternoon without realizing it. Seeing that the sky was really gone, Jiang Lang and others said goodbye. Although Murong Yan tried to keep him, Jiang Lang insisted on leaving.

On the way home, Zi Ling couldn't help but tease Jiang Lang a few words, saying that Murong Yan looked at Jiang Lang's expression and looked at her dream lover. Jiang Lang couldn't help but smile slightly and was a matter of it.

At the same time, the three of them also agreed to go to Sun Yuanbiao's town to collect evidence tomorrow. Song Wenxuan knew more about this than anyone else.

After rushing back to his home, Song Yuanba immediately came up and said anxiously: "How is the matter?"

"What's going on?"

Song Wenxuan pretended to be confused, but he had already made up his mind.

Seeing Song Wenxuan pretending to be confused, Song Yuanba couldn't help but hurriedly said: "That's right, that man is really a high-ranking official in the court!"

Song Wenxuan nodded, then sighed and said, "Brother Song, to be honest, I am very grateful to you. If you hadn't given me silver and asked me to go to Beijing for the exam, I would not be today. However, I would have to do it now!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and shouted, "Catch me someone!"

Several yamen handlers immediately betrayed Song Yuanba. Song Yuanba also said anxiously: "What are you doing?"

Song Wenxuan bounced slightly and said, "I really can't afford to offend that person. I can only blame you Brother Song. If you want to blame him, you will blame your unscrupulous son. If he hadn't provoked others, how could this be possible now?"

Song Yuanba understood at this time and said angrily: "Song Wenxuan, you ungrateful villain!"

"Pull it down!"
