Liu Chan jumped out and suddenly opened his arms.

Cao Shuang, who had gained a little more confidence because of the start of the catapult, suddenly felt the ground shaking violently under his feet.

His face changed drastically and he exclaimed, "The earth dragon flips over!"

Xiahou Xuan was even more knocked off his horse and thrown to the ground by the sudden change under him.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the ground cracking, rocks and soil flying out and forming a wall of earth in the air.

The huge rocks were blocked by the earth wall and fell to the ground one after another.

"God!"

"God, spare my life!"

More and more soldiers knelt on the ground.

The huge crowds of people, mixed with the chaotic neighing of horses, made the area look chaotic and absurd.

Zhuge Liang stood blankly on the Green Goblin skateboard, looking at Liu Chan's back.

He began to doubt whether Liu Chan in front of him had been possessed by another spirit.

Such unpredictable strength is truly beyond the control of mortals! "Father, what should we do next?"

A voice suddenly woke him up.

Zhuge Liang looked and saw Liu Chan floating in front of him.

Behind him was a chaotic scene with people and horses falling to the ground.

Zhuge Liang was silent for two seconds, then suddenly asked, "Can we kill the mad horse?"

"Of course!" Liu Chan smiled confidently.

As soon as he thought of it, all the people were disarmed.

Various weapons were suspended in the air and, under Liu Chan's command, stabbed into the mad horses.

"Surrender and you won't be killed!" Zhuge Liang shouted.

As the crazy horses died one after another, the surroundings gradually became quiet.

"Then what?" Liu Chan asked again.

Zhuge Liang felt quite emotional when he saw all kinds of weapons, armor, rocks, and soil scattered in the air.

Possessing such extraordinary power, he still asks for his opinion on everything as before...

It was Adou for sure! "Put the things away," he said with a smile.

Liu Chan activated his superpowers, and all the swords, spears, halberds, bows, crossbows and other objects in the air flew back, fell to the ground with a crash, and piled up like a small hill.

Zhuge Liang turned around and looked.

Xiahou Xuan fell to the ground, his white robe stained with blood, and he was already dead.

Cao Shuang was being forced to kneel on the ground by several people.

Seeing him looking, one of them hurriedly said, "General, this guy tried to escape, but we caught him!"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, his face solemn, and said loudly: "Cao disregarded the constitution, abused power at will, acted perversely, and forcibly stole the Han Dynasty. This is truly despised by the world!"

"My lord is the orthodox of the Han Dynasty, favored by heaven and blessed by the gods, so he has the power he has today..."

"Are you willing to abandon darkness and surrender to my Lord?" he asked loudly.

"I am willing to make amends for my crime!" a clever general said hastily.

"Support the Han Dynasty!" someone else shouted.

soon.

The voices of "supporting the Han Dynasty" gathered together, reverberating throughout the city like thunder! Zhuge Liang raised his head slightly, his eyes red, as if in a dream.

Liu Chan held his head high and chest puffed out, standing with his hands behind his back.

He was in high spirits and felt that the world was under his control.

Looking at Liu Chan's appearance, Zhuge Liang gradually came back to his senses.

He exhaled slowly and a smile appeared on his face.

He wondered whether he should take Liu Chan on a few more trips.

After a tour of all the major cities, I believe that I will be able to unify the world without having to mobilize a single soldier!

…

A few days later.

In the Space-Time Tavern.

Liu Chan was holding a bottle of Coke in his hand and bragging loudly to others.

Sitting on his left was Zhu Youjian.

The two have very different personalities, but they get along surprisingly well.

Although there were occasional arguments and even confrontations, they were always able to drink and chat happily soon.

Sitting with the two are Batman Bruce and Aquaman Arthur.

Spider Peter and his good friend Harry also sat at the adjacent table, facing the group and chatting happily with them.

Everyone found it very interesting to listen to Liu Chan telling how he led Zhuge Liang through city after city and recovered the lost territories without much effort.

Unlike others who were just watching the fun, Zhu Youjian's expression was quite envious.

He had many civil and military officials under his command, many of whom were talented, but he had not yet found anyone who could be compared with Zhuge Liang.

"It's a pity that Zhuge Liang is not my prime minister, otherwise I could be a hands-off boss like this guy." Zhu Youjian thought to himself.

Bruce noticed his expression, guessed what he was thinking, and a smile appeared on his face.

He had been in the pub for some time and had become familiar with most of the customers.

He was no longer as ignorant as he had been before about these ancient emperors from the mysterious East.

In fact, he had studied the history of his own world and learned that some of the history of the East, which had a brilliant civilization, was very similar to what these guests had experienced.

Combining the information he learned with his observations of the guests, he had some understanding of their personalities.

As a king who lost his country, Liu Chan loved pleasure and abused his power. That’s why he was evaluated as “if he appoints virtuous ministers, he will be a reasonable king; if he confuses eunuchs, he will be a king of darkness and corruption.”

Zhu Youjian was completely different.

He has a strong personality, does not trust others and has a strong desire for power.

If a wise minister like Zhuge Liang were under his command, he would probably not be able to display his talents at all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Aquaman Arthur beside him, and felt that the King of Atlantis had some similarities with Liu Chan.

Arthur was very interested in Liu Chan's experience and kept praising him, which made Liu Chan even more excited.

But after a few words, Arthur revealed his intentions.

"How can I find a good helper like Zhuge Liang?" he asked.

Dealing with the kingdom's affairs every day made him overwhelmed.

Even though most of the time he was just listening to people talking as a routine, it still annoyed him.

If he had that much time, he would have wanted to go out and fight someone.

If he could find a wise minister like Zhuge Liang to assist him, wouldn't he be free? "Of course, you have to be able to judge people!" Liu Chan said shamelessly, "When I first met Zhuge Liang, I felt that he was extraordinary..."

Zhu Youjian said, "When we first met, Brother Liu was probably still breastfeeding, right?"

Liu Chan was choked and coughed dryly: "But that doesn't stop me from trusting him."

Arthur blinked, suddenly realizing that he seemed to have made a mistake.

It seems that Mr. Wolong, who has been frequently talked about by many people these days, was not discovered by this guy!

Seeing the two of them talking to each other, with a hint of anger in their words, Arthur looked at Bruce for help.

He was barely good at fighting, but he was not good at calming people down.

Bruce smiled and suddenly said, "As a monarch whose word is law, have you ever thought that one day the people will no longer listen to you?"

Zhu Youjian and Liu Chan immediately stopped arguing.

"Isn't it our duty to be loyal to the emperor and serve our country?" Liu Chan asked.

"Childish!" Zhu Youjian sneered, "Everyone has selfish desires. Do you think Cao Mengde wanted to seize the Han Dynasty as soon as he was born? Or is Sima Yi born to be a rebel?"

Liu Chan opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but suddenly he remembered the advice Zhuge Liang had given him, and swallowed the words back.

This is what Zhuge Liang has always taught him.

After arriving at the tavern, he heard Li Shimin's famous saying, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

When he was chatting with Zhuge Liang yesterday, he said this, which shocked the prime minister greatly.

However, he claimed that he just expressed his feelings, but the other party did not believe him, which made him very depressed.

Zhu Youjian glanced at him in surprise, then turned to Bruce and said, "That's right!"

Since entering the tavern, he has stabilized the political situation and obtained guns to equip the new army.

After negotiating cooperation with several guests from the modern dimension, factories were built in Daming, and the railways under construction shocked the people.

Government decrees such as reducing taxes and fees have made the people grateful.

As the territory expanded, some officials were promoted and also regarded him as a wise ruler.

As for those officials and nobles who received extraordinary gifts from him, they worshipped him like a god! As the Ming Dynasty prospered, his status in the hearts of the people grew day by day.

He has a lot to say about Bruce's question.

But Bruce has been thinking about this issue for a long time.

He then asked, “What is a good day?”

"Of course, we need clothes to cover our bodies, food to fill our stomachs, and a roof over our heads!" Liu Chan said.

Peter shook his head: "In our world, there are very few people who don't have enough food to eat. Even homeless people can get free food...but not many people think they are living a good life!"

"After having enough food and clothing, people always have higher needs!" Harry concluded.

"That's the idiom that goes, 'It's hard to make a good ditch,'" said Arthur.

Bruce nodded in agreement and corrected him by saying, "It's hard to satisfy your greed."

He has seen many people who have nothing to do after eating and cause trouble.

These people have all kinds of reasons for committing crimes, and sometimes he even wants to kill them!

This is why he raised this question.

Ever since he gained extraordinary powers in the tavern, he has tried to change the way he does things.

He tried to use a stronger force to transform Gotham City into a crime-free paradise.

But it’s all hard to execute.

No matter how many criminals he took down, there were always new ones popping up.

He realized the root of the problem, but it made it even more difficult for him.

Listening to what they said, Liu Chan seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhu Youjian chuckled and said, "You guys are making things too complicated."

Several people looked at him.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhu Youjian was secretly proud.

He said: "Good days are nothing more than people's expectation for a better life. Isn't it enough to let them keep hope in their hearts?"

"For example, a beggar on the street, all he wants is a bite of hot food..."

"Soldiers are eager to be granted land and titles, so give them a wider world to fight in..."

He opened his arms and said excitedly, "With the resources of the tavern, our future cannot be limited to a city or a country, or even a small earth. The vast starry sky can accommodate everyone's ambitions!"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Peter and Harry looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

They originally looked down on this king of a fallen country, but unexpectedly the other party's words gave them a wake-up call.

Originally, they had been struggling with how to expand their "business" and earn more space-time coins, but they were also worried that they would be too eye-catching and cause trouble.

Now thinking about it, it was clear that they were too cautious.

The guests who arrived much later than them were getting stronger and stronger, but their strength had stagnated for a long time, so much so that Peter had to draw blood for money every day, which was really embarrassing.

The two nodded and decided to do something big! "That makes sense!" Liu Chan clapped his hands and sighed.

He felt that the road ahead was becoming clearer.

"Okay!" Arthur said excitedly.

He decided to include "Into the Stars" in Atlantis' national policy when he returned, so that those guys wouldn't always have nothing to do and cause trouble for him.

Bruce thought.

In fact, he had heard this a few days ago.

That time, Zhu Yuanzhang was using similar words to guide Zhu Youjian, and he happened to hear it.

He thought it made sense at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not appropriate.

Not everyone yearns for the starry sky.

He doesn't want to be a dictator.

What's more, the crux of the problem is not here.

"But everyone's ambitions are different," Bruce said calmly, "Some people want to live a peaceful life, while others' happiness is built on the suffering of others. How do we deal with this?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "If he longs for peaceful days, then give him a stable environment."

"As for those guys who enjoy hurting others, are they worthy of enjoying the prosperity of the world?"

Listening to Zhu Youjian's murderous words, Liu Chan nodded heavily.

Bruce frowned but didn't say anything.

He knew that this was a difference in philosophy.

Arthur is rough on the outside but delicate on the inside, and he can see through Batman's mentality.

He patted Bruce on the shoulder and said, "King and hero are two different professions."

Seeing Bruce's look, he smiled and said, "A hero only needs to satisfy his inner sense of justice, abide by the bottom line of the law, not disrupt order, and avoid his own ambitions from expanding and getting out of control."

"But the king is different," he said, "He represents the interests of the people, or the interests of the vast majority of people!"

"Law and order are the authority of the king, not shackles!"

"Its only constraint is the interests of the people!"

"This is also the most powerful sword in the hands of a king. If you don't dare to use it to break the law and order, you are not a qualified king!"

Liu Chan clapped his hands heavily.

He felt that this guy was absolutely right.

He talked a lot, all the same principles that Zhuge Liang had taught him.

Peter scratched his hair and asked, "So a king can't be destined to be a hero?"

"Of course not," Aquaman blinked, "I am the king of Atlantis and also the superhero Aquaman!"

Peter looked a little confused.

Bruce stared at him. "What you mean is that a king puts the interests of the people first, and a hero puts a sense of justice first."

"Yes." Arthur smiled.

His mother taught him these words.

It took him a long time to understand the reason, but it was not easy to put it into action.

Even though he spoke so eloquently, he was still limited in his actions when it came to actually implementing it.

Because there is another meaning to these words.

A true king is not afraid of being insulted and moves forward with heavy burdens!

Heroes stand on the moral high ground, set limits for themselves, and look ahead and behind!

But does such a hero really deserve his reputation?

Bruce understood.

His eyes flickered and he was hesitant.

Behind him, a man in a red robe who appeared out of nowhere was staring at them in a daze.
