Chapter 2070 Responsibility is Karma
The black dragon didn't like being touched by strangers, so it swam away along the city wall.
Like a living thing.
"Wow!" the child exclaimed, his eyes full of admiration, "Is it alive?"
"of course."
The woman took the opportunity to teach her son: "I told you, this city is blessed by the dragon!"
He Lingchuan put the child back on the ground, and the woman asked her son, "What should you say?"
The boy was very polite and said "thank you" loudly to He Lingchuan before following his mother into the city.
He Lingchuan hadn't walked more than ten steps when he heard his cheers again, because the sky above the South Gate Square suddenly burst into fireworks of red, green, blue and yellow, coating the heavy city with colorful colors.
Citizens and guests gathered to watch.
Yes, He Lingchuan suddenly remembered that tonight is Panlong City’s semiannual fireworks display.
In addition to fireworks, there are also temple fairs, archery guessing, food and more to enjoy, and residents from nearby towns will also come to join in the fun.
The scene before me is bustling and the crowd is bustling.
He Lingchuan let out a sigh of relief.
What he just said to Sun Fuling came from his heart.
In reality, he is already the Lord of Flashing Gold and the Emperor of the World, bringing order and peace back to this land that has been torn apart for thousands of years.
This alone is an unprecedented achievement.
Just talking about his current achievements, how many heroes and heroes dream of achieving the pinnacle of success and the end of their struggle?
He Chunhua was satisfied after conquering one country, and from then on he governed the country happily.
He Yue should also be satisfied and happily serve as his crown prince from now on.
If He Lingchuan did not make any more progress, he could just keep the position of King Cangyan and still enjoy unlimited glory and have a place in this vast world.
He has become a powerful leader of hundreds of millions of people and is no longer the down-and-out teenager who was forced to travel across the ocean to avoid Bega's pursuit.
But He Lingchuan is a human, not a god. After experiencing so many years and so many thrilling battles and adventures, he would also feel tired and exhausted. He had thought about stopping and taking a good rest for a few years.
With his achievements, what's wrong?
But once he returned to Panlong City and felt the bustling atmosphere of the city as a citizen rather than an emperor, he knew that it was far from time for him to relax.
When Cangyan was just established, people were generally poor.
The people of the Golden Plains had trouble even getting enough food and clothing, and they had also experienced a subversive turmoil like the Dragon God War.
Their lives are far less prosperous than those in Panlong City.
Their smiles were not as bright as those of the soldiers and civilians in Panlong City.
Cangyan was the empire conquered by He Lingchuan and also by the people of Shanjin.
He Lingchuan planned and planned, and they shed blood and sacrificed their lives without hesitation, because they believed that He Lingchuan could bring a better future to this land.
This is a silent promise and a wordless contract between the two.
He Lingchuan chose them, and they also chose He Lingchuan.
This promise and this responsibility weigh on He Lingchuan, heavier than a mountain, so heavy that no one might have the courage to bear it.
Responsibility itself is the karma that he cannot escape from.
That's why he told Master Sun that she and Panlong City were the lights of his heart.
The warmth he feels from them and the strength he draws from them are the source of motivation for him to make courageous progress and move forward fearlessly in reality!
He looked at the scene in front of him and murmured to himself: "The road ahead is still long."
And he will continue to move forward with determination.
But first, he had to find Zhong Shengguang to see if there was any room for improvement in the relationship between Panlong City and Lingshan.
……
Zhong Shengguang is not at his usual office location.
He Lingchuan asked his personal guards and found out that Commander Zhong had gone to the attic on the third floor of the office.
This is Zhong Shengguang's temporary resting place. Sometimes he would work until late and would not go home, but spend the night in the attic.
When He Lingchuan walked into the attic, Zhong Shengguang was standing by the window, watching the fireworks in South Gate Square.
This location is great and you can have a panoramic view of the square.
Bang bang bang, fireworks exploded.
"Master Zhong."
"You're here." Seeing He Lingchuan come in, Zhong Shengguang put down the white porcelain bowl in his hand.
At the same time, He Lingchuan also smelled the strong aroma of sesame.
It turns out he was hiding here to have a snack.
"Xiang Mei Zhai's red bean paste and sesame dumplings?" He could also add, "Add tangerine peel."
A useless little bit of cold knowledge:
Zhong Shengguang likes sweets.
He did not reveal his preferences easily, and not many officials in Panlong City knew that he liked sweets.
Zhong Shengguang smiled and asked, "How do you know?"
Xiang Mei Zhai is a new restaurant, which has only been open for three months. Many of the dishes here were brought over by Bao Shuguoxin.
"Master Sun also loves to eat this." He Lingchuan is very familiar with the taste. "If I make her angry, I will buy this to apologize to her."
Zhong Shengguang laughed: "Then try the hawthorn milk cake from Dongyuan on Zhuanxiang Street next time."
"Dongyuan?" He Lingchuan was startled. "I've never heard of it."
"It was newly opened ten days ago. At that time you were still in the south and hadn't returned to Panlong City."
"Okay, let's try it in a few days." He Lingchuan brought up another topic, "When I came in, it seemed like an envoy from some country had left?"
"Songxiang City. They are also looking for us to form an alliance." Zhong Shengguang pressed his neck and there was a crackling sound. "It not only represents itself, but also represents the three small countries and two forces in the south."
"They themselves are a small alliance, and now they want to connect with Panlong City as a whole."
He Lingchuan thought for a moment and said, "Songxiang City and other places have a common enemy, the Kao Kingdom."
To be honest, this small alliance in Songcheng always reminds him of the former coalition in the Shining Gold Plains, the one led by the Situ family.
"But their location is very good, right on the second trade route we are about to develop." Zhong Shengguang asked He Lingchuan, "Do you know about this plan?"
"I just heard about it."
"Well, you just came back too." Zhong Shengguang briefly explained what happened, and then said, "Songxiang City and others want to form an alliance with Panlong City and sent generous gifts, also hoping to use the situation to deter the Kao Kingdom. If the two sides go to war again in the future, they also hope for help from their allies."
"Then it depends on their sincerity."
When He Lingchuan said this, both of them laughed.
Zhong Shengguang personally closed the doors and windows, and then placed a magic power tester in the room to make sure there were no magic powers or abnormal creatures left. Then he walked to He Lingchuan and whispered, "One more thing: the Mingdeng lamp was successfully refined."
He Lingchuan was shocked.
He hadn't heard of this term for a long time, and in the entire Panlong Wasteland, there were probably no more than seven or eight people who knew what a "bright lantern" was.
Zhong Shengguang once said that the bright lantern was the key for Panlong City and General Hong to fight against Mitian.
Its successful refining is certainly great news. After all, if it was refined badly, He Lingchuan would not know where to get another one.
But, does this also mean that—
"Will the confrontation between General Hong and Mitian come earlier?"
