Liu Chang had made up his mind anyway. He would not admit any connection with this great Guan Zhong even to death. He, Liu Chang, could not afford to disgrace this person!

As for Liu Jiao, after hearing what happened outside the city today, he couldn't help but sigh.

Pengcheng was the capital of Chu State during Xiang Yu's time, and it is also the capital of Chu State today.

The Chu State is no longer the large and powerful Chu State it once was, but the Chu people still seem to be the same stubborn Chu people as before.

Neither the Qin nor the Han Dynasties could eradicate their cultural characteristics. When the costumes of various countries were all developing in the same direction, the Chu people still wore the distinctive Chu clothes, tall Chu crowns, and Liu Chang's

Shiren Ji Bu is a typical example, he often wears Chu clothes to show others.

In the Han Dynasty, wearing Chu clothes to show off to others felt somewhat like a "remnant of the previous dynasty". However, Liu Chang thought about it again, and it seemed that Ji Bu was really a remnant of the previous dynasty! He was captured and surrendered!

The words of Chu State, clothing, poetry, and sacrificial habits are all very different from those in the Central Plains, and Chu people are proud of this. Liu Bang didn't say much about it, because although Liu Bang's ancestors were aristocrats of Wei State, he himself

I was born and raised in Chu, and this has been the case for several generations.

Although there are three Chu households, the Qin must be destroyed by Chu. These three households are probably the three Chu people, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, and Han Xin... They can also be Chen Sheng, Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu. Of course, if you calculate carefully, those under Liu Chang and Xiang Yu

Most of the ruthless people are from Chu State.

Liu Chang had an inexplicable affinity with the Chu country. He liked the unrestrained Chu people very much. Chu people were mostly ostentatious. When they went out, they always drove their cars and ran as fast as they could while he was in the car.

Singing wantonly, behaving dissolutely, free and uninhibited.

These "barbarians" of the Chu State were still very cultured. They rode in carriages and sang songs, and they could make up and sing at the same time.

On the second day after arriving in the Chu State, Liu Dacheng, a Confucian scholar, had already changed into Chu clothes, and with a tall Chu crown, he drove wildly outside the city. Along the way, he often met some outstanding people here in the Chu State.

A large number of princes were ennobled, and these second-generation princes were completely Chu people.

When they saw Liu Chang running away, they couldn't help but be aroused in their hearts and hurriedly chased this strange Chu man.

They started a competition outside the city. You chased me. Lu Lu, who was driving the car, kept waving his whip. Liu Chang shouted and the carriage galloped. That is to say, the terrain here is flat and there are few people, so it can withstand it.

In such a competition, it was a pity that when they were stopped by the pavilion chief, Liu Chang failed to win the championship and only finished third.

The young man who won the championship was very happy, even if the pavilion chief was questioning his retainers, he didn't care.

The young man said something loudly. Liu Chang was stunned for a moment and asked: "What did you say?"

The young man immediately changed his tone and said, "Aren't you from Chu?"

"I'm from Chu, from Chang'an."

"Oh... Hahaha, the people in Chang'an don't drive well either."

Liu Chang was angry, "I found this car temporarily, and the driver is not good at it. I have another driver. If he were here, he would definitely beat you. I am not familiar with the terrain here either...

"

"Then we can change cars. You use my car and my people, and we can compete again?"

"No, if you have the guts, come to Chang'an and compete with me!"

"You're such a tough talker!"

Several people got out of the car and got together. Only then did everyone have a new understanding of the height of this fake Chu native from Chang'an. Isn't this person too tall?

The noble young master looked at Liu Chang curiously and asked, "I don't know your name?"

"My surname is Xiang, just call me Xiang Sheng!"

The young man was stunned and frowned, "My last name is also Xiang, why don't I recognize you?"

"Your last name is also Xiang?"

"Yes, our last name was Xiang! But now, our last name is Liu!"

Chang Liu didn't even know that this surname was still a common surname in the Chu State. They found an open place and sat down directly without setting up any seats. They were asked to bring wine and meat. They were very generous and said, "My name is

Liu She, formerly called Xiang She...this one is Liu Yuan...used to be called Xiang She..."

Liu Chang nodded, "My name is Liu Chang, and I used to be called Xiang Chang."

"Ah? Who is your father?"

Liu She asked curiously, but Liu Chang asked: "Who is your father?"

Liu She said proudly: "My father was granted the title of Marquis of Tao'an of the Han Dynasty, and his name was Tao Xiang... This man's father was granted the title of Marquis of Ping Gaoyang, and his name was Tao..." He lowered his voice and said: "The Overlord knows

Right? He’s his father’s brother!”

"Our fathers and ancestors all served with Emperor Gao in battle and were given the surname Liu!"

The other people also proudly talked about their fathers and ancestors, each of whom was a prince of the Han Dynasty and a member of the Overlord's clan.

"You haven't said who your father is yet?"

"My father conferred the title of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, with the name Taobang!"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent.

Several people looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then they came to their senses and hurriedly jumped up to pay their respects.

"Is it Prince Tang?"

"Sit down, everyone, sit down!"

Liu Chang waved his hand nonchalantly and asked them all to sit down.

"I see that you are all brave men. Why don't you want to make great achievements, but why do you just enjoy driving here all day long?"

"Your Majesty..."

Liu She said helplessly: "We do want to make contributions, but... there is no war in Chu State, and the Northern Army doesn't want us, so we can't go to Wu State to serve as soldiers, right?"

"Are you willing to follow me? I will send troops to the Western Regions soon, and we are in need of men!"

The eyes of these people lit up, and they immediately said: "If the king does not dislike it, I am willing to follow the king to kill the enemy!"

"Hahaha, okay, but I told you in advance that I won't let you be the commander-in-chief. You must prepare your own war horses and weapons!"

"good!"

It can be said that Liu Chang and these princes had similar personalities. They sat together and had a good meal, chatting about national affairs. They talked happily. When the conversation got interesting, several people started singing, which made Liu Chang also interested.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying~~"

"I have powerful soldiers to conquer all directions~~"

Liu Chang also got to know a lot of the princes of Chu State, and agreed with them to attack the Xiongnu together and share the meat with them.

The King of Chu was still discussing knowledge with Liu An and had no intention of letting them leave. Liu Chang was even more so. He drove with these local people all day long. Lu Lu helplessly reminded Liu Chang that he still wanted to go.

South Vietnam.

The King of Chu repeatedly requested that An stay with him and take him away when Liu Chang came back.

"Father Zhong, my trip this time... is to take them to see the world, let them see the battlefield for themselves, and see what kind of enemy they are facing."

"Let's do this. When I come back, I will let An stay with you. You can let him stay as long as you want!"

Liu Jiao's eyes lit up and he asked: "Seriously?"

"Seriously! Father Zhong, let's do this. You will build Chidao for me in Chu State to connect the north and the south. As a reward, this Zhuzi will stay here!"

Liu Jiao laughed and cursed: "Shu Zi! You are selling your son!"

Liu Jiao was very partial to An and loved his talents. These days, he treated him as his own grandson. He showed him his entire collection of books and even asked the talented people in his family to read them.

They all came to debate with Liu An just to let Liu An learn more knowledge. This kind of preference even made Liu Jiao's own grandson feel sour after seeing it.

When a group of people left Chu State and headed to Wu State, Liu Xiang said bitterly: "An...how did you do it?"

"In the temple, my eldest mother doted on you so much. Here, my eldest father also dotes on you so much..."

"I love studying, how about you join me?"

Liu Xiang and Liu Qi looked at each other, then shook their heads, "Then let's forget it."

They have great ambitions, and they must resolutely follow in the footsteps of their father-in-law and become semi-literate (Zhangyu) in a down-to-earth manner.

However, Liu Qi still put down his harsh words, "We will arrive in Wu Kingdom soon. My father loves me the most! I will have to show off very hard then!"

The terrain of Chu State is flat and it is still within the scope of the Central Plains, while Wu State... has more water routes than land routes. Liu Chang had to get on the boat several times before he could continue to move forward. These three little guys are not afraid of water.

, running around, Zhao Shi finally hugged them, for fear that they would fall.

Lu Lu frowned, "Your Majesty... you have to make plans for South Vietnam."

During these days, Liu Chang's relationship with Zhao Mei and Zhao Shi became closer and closer. Lu Lu knew that the king was affectionate, so he was worried that his affection would affect his judgment. He would never show mercy to the South Vietnamese country. Nanyue

The country must be the South Vietnamese country of the Han Dynasty.

In terms of personal relationships, Lu Lu also did not admit that the Zhao family of Nanyue had any relationship with his king. The king's grandmother was his eldest aunt, not from the Zhao family!

When he met his father, Liu Qi realized that he was wrong. He was really wrong. He should not have returned to Wu in the first place.

Liu Heng has also not been to Chang'an for a long time. However, it is not because of physical reasons, but because he has a lot of things to do here. The older Liu Heng is, the more kind his face is. At this moment, Liu Heng

, he completely lacked the demeanor of his cold brother before. His face was filled with a smile and warmth that made people want to get close to him.

When Liu An saw his fourth uncle, his eyes lit up.
