Under the escort of the Qi army, he returned to Qufu.
But he actually doesn’t want to come back!
Because, nowadays, just a few hundred miles away from Qufu is a place controlled by "bandits".
But there is no way!
This is what Qi Gong meant!
Returning to the court again, Duke Lu looked at the ministers of the State of Lu who were saluting him happily.
He lowered his head, expressionless.
"Why is Lu Gong so unhappy?" Jiang Guo, the prince of Qi who was responsible for escorting the king of Lu back to Qufu, asked while sitting in his seat.
Only then did Lu Gong squeeze out a smile: "I just thought that bandits would steal our land and poison the precious species of immortals and gods..."
"When you are worried in your heart, you will inevitably feel sad. Please bear with me, sir!"
When he came back this time, Lu Gong knew that he had actually become a pawn in Qi Gong's hands.
A chess piece used to tell other countries, especially those small countries: If you don't listen to me, then the bandits will chop off your heads!
Therefore, Lu Gong must return to Qufu.
Therefore, Lu Gong must sit in this court!
Therefore, he became an outcast.
In a sense, it is a gift from Duke Qi to the ‘bandits’ in Liu County.
This matter has to start from last month.
The Duke of Qi gathered at the Jing River to form an alliance with the states of Lu, Cao, Ju, Ji, and Xue.
Then, unite the troops of all countries and use the elite divisions of Qi to advance in separate attacks to seize the sand and water at the core of the "bandits".
Then……
He was stopped outside the sand and water.
Those who dared to invade were either trampled to death with a hoof, or tied up with a willow branch and dragged back.
It is said that he was hanged.
As a result, the coalition forces did not dare to advance.
Therefore, we have no choice but to harm the mortals, water tribe, and demon tribe along the way.
Treat these people as 'collaborators' and eradicate them.
Then, the contemporary Qi Gong personally came to the front line from Linzi.
The son of Duke Heng immediately inspected the coalition forces and then met with the kings of various countries in Juguo.
What happens next is a matter of course.
The kings of various countries, especially small countries such as Xue, Cao, Qi, etc., are extremely afraid of "bandits".
In particular, Qi Gong also captured many merchants who wanted to join the bandits.
These people are even more afraid.
He was afraid of ending up like the immortal descendants of Lu.
Therefore, all conditions proposed by Qi Gong are fully accepted.
Then, a funny but cruel thing happened.
After the death of Duke Heng, Qi, which once lost its hegemony, once again gained the allegiance and support of more than a dozen small countries.
The contemporary Duke of Qi is overjoyed.
In addition, the sand and water did not penetrate, and the burning book was reported, but there was no response from the upper realm.
have to!
Qi Gong immediately changed his mind.
He told the kings of various countries and the monks, river princes, and mountain gods who came following Qi Gong's call.
Now……
The immortal kings and emperors of the upper world cannot be contacted.
We can't break into sand and water.
If you go there, you will die.
But the poison of 'bandits' continues day and night.
All mortals are bewitched by them.
Therefore, in order to protect the order of etiquette and law, Qi State decided to shoulder the responsibilities of Zong Bo without hesitation.
Please give all your troops and other matters to the State of Qi for unified command.
Let's build an iron wall along the bandits' controlled area.
Trap them inside!
Don't let them have the opportunity to harm 'good people' again.
In fear, the kings of various countries accepted Qi Gong's proposal because Qi Gong said that if you don't agree, I will return to Linzi and you can do whatever you want here.
In this way, Lu Gong became Qi's pawn.
He was escorted back to Qufu by the prince of Qi State with an army of three hundred.
It’s impossible not to come back!
Gongziguo looked at the well-behaved Lu Gong and smiled softly: "Don't worry, Lu Gong!"
"Although those sand and water bandits are extremely vicious and vicious..."
"However, its people are weak, do not practice Taoism, and do not know supernatural powers. They are just lucky enough to have the protection of a certain immortal!"
"The world of mortals is full of obstacles, how can people in the upper world stay there for a long time?"
"As soon as the Immortal Lord leaves, we can march in..."
"For Lu Gong, for the world, and for the world, get rid of the poison here!"
What else can Lu Gong say?
He could only nod his head: "What the young master said is true!"
Prince Guo of the State of Qi is the son of the Duke of Qi, and one of the most advanced people in the State of Qi.
No, he is a commoner.
Otherwise, the next generation of Qi Gong must be him!
Gongziguo then looked at the descendants of the Immortal Race of the Man Dynasty. With a wave of his hand, he issued an order: "From today on..."
"Private entry and exit at all major city gates in Qufu is strictly prohibited!"
"You must personally lead your retainers and inspect the residences of mortals in the city regularly!"
"But if there are any 'bandits', I will kill them without mercy!"
"Promise!" Everyone stood up and agreed.
It was as if the leader, Duke Lu, had been replaced by the Duke of Gongzi.
actually……
Not much different.
The Qi State was already weak and was staggering even when it defeated the Song State.
However, as news of Sha Shui's 'bandits' spread throughout the world.
The Jin State was unwilling to take action, and the Chu State seemed to be asleep and turned a deaf ear.
Looking south to the small countries in the southeast of Buzhou, we can only rely on Qi.
This caused Qi's already declining luck to have a large bundle of fuel poured into it.
In Linzi Ancestral Temple, there are even traces of the light of humanity flowing again.
Just try harder and work harder.
Now Qi Gong might be able to restore Heng Gong’s hegemony!
Even further!
Through the threat of 'bandits' and the fear of the immortals.
Integrate the entire Southeast.
In this way, Qi's territory, national strength, military strength, and financial resources may surpass other competitors.
if that is the case……
It is not impossible for the Duke of Qi to become the King of Qi.
As the son of the King of Qi, it is natural that he should be ennobled as princes.
Thinking of this, Gongziguo couldn't help but feel his heart surge.
"Although those 'bandits' are stubborn, they are kind to our country of Qi!" He couldn't help but think to himself.
For the current Qi State, the 'bandits' are really the best opponent.
He is strong enough!
Various evidences and clues indicate that the mortals there seem to be sheltered by the power of the upper world.
At least the Golden Immortal is powerful!
It cannot be broken with human power.
He is weak enough!
Most of their mortals do not practice Taoism, Dharma, and supernatural powers, but only have some rudimentary martial arts skills.
Outside the sand and water, a partial army can sweep them away.
That is to say, the Shui Tribe commanded by the self-proclaimed 'River God' Li Shisan is still worthy of a battle.
He could barely compete with Qi's navy outside the sand and water.
It is said that he even won the battle.
but……
It does not matter!
Because Qi State has invited the dragon clan to worship and set off from Linzi.
In this way, all countries must rely on Qi.
The golden age of Henggong is back.
Qi State once again dominates, and there is hope of getting the magic whip again!
Gongziguo licked his tongue.
"When the Immortal Lord leaves..."
"The army of our country can go straight to Shashui!"
"At that time, with this great achievement, all the countries will be convinced, the emperor will give him a crown, and the nine princes will be united!"
………………
Midwinter season.
Li Shisan's figure appeared from an ice floe.
Behind him is Zhang Sanqi, who has taken over his position as He Bo.
Although this new He Bo has obtained the moral golden body, he is not yet familiar with the functions of He Bo.
Therefore, I have been studying with Li Shisan.
A group of aquariums, all in a state of embarrassment and covered with injuries, swam across the ice floe.
They are the water tribe in the Baihe River three thousand miles away.
Last year Li Shisan went to recruit them, but was rejected.
Now, with his tail between his legs, he fled to Shashui and took refuge in him.
Because the allied forces of various countries are spreading out along the vast land and water systems of Lu, Ju, Cao, and Xue.
Spread a big net and surround it with an iron wall.
Each of the immortal descendants and monks sacrificed treasures and displayed their magical powers.
Under the pressure of the river gods and mountain gods, they were washed repeatedly in the direction of the sand and water.
They don't have the guts to fight sand and water.
However, he is very good at suppressing mortals and hunting down monsters and water tribes.
The passing of bandits is like a comb, and the passing of soldiers is like a grate.
Wherever the immortal descendants passed, there were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and white bones were exposed in the wild!
Many merchants who dealt with Liujun were arrested by their families and then killed.
Many people who had been to Liujun were also killed.
Even some people who just had Liujun products at home were arrested.
If you kill someone by mistake, you won’t be spared!
The attitude and terror of the coalition forces made everyone in Liu County tremble.
Fear spreads.
The former legends and threats have become solid facts!
The worries and concerns I had before have become reality.
Under the pressure of the coalition forces, the entire Liu County was united as never before.
The water tribe, demon tribe, and human tribe have all been mobilized.
Everyone took out their own food and inventory.
Refugee camps were built on both sides of the river and at various road points.
It is used to house refugees who have fled from the coalition's advance route.
The Shashui, Shui and Yao tribes also dispatched to various places to meet the fleeing Yao and Shui tribes.
Now, this group of Shui Tribes were brought back by Li Shisan personally.
There are hundreds of aquatic species.
However, this is only one-third of the Baihe Aquatic Tribe.
Everyone else is dead.
Under the offensive of the coalition forces, the Baihe Shui Tribe was defeated without support for even a day.
In just one month, Liu County had an influx of at least 300,000 refugees and more than 20,000 water tribes and thousands of demon tribesmen.
They all fled from Xue, Ju, Ji, and Cao.
At least three times that number of people have died under the knife of the coalition forces.
Thinking of this, Li Shisan said: "Tianzun didn't say anything wrong, he didn't say anything wrong!"
"The immortal race is the common enemy of the human race, the water race, and the demon race!"
Behind him, Xinhe Bo Zhang Sanqi also nodded with lingering fear.
Originally, the people of Liu County had become accustomed to peace and had even forgotten the fear they once had.
What many people are worried about is just what will happen if Lu Gong comes back?
However, this winter, the coalition forces organized by Qi State made everyone understand the fact that Lu Gong was only one of their enemies.
And which one is the weakest!
Our true enemy, our true mortal enemy.
It’s all the immortal descendants!
And the etiquette represented by these people!
Even illiterate farmers know it now.
Once these enemies come to the sand and water.
They will destroy villages, kill women, and plunder everything, just like they are doing outside Liu County now!
The refugees brought fear and hatred.
"There are still five months until Tianzun can leave seclusion..." Li Shisan looked at the frozen river in the distance.
On the river, another group of refugees, escorted by the Liujun militia, slowly walked towards them.
There are thousands of people!
After all, the coalition forces still did not dare to massacre the human race.
At least he didn't dare to do it himself. He would only instruct He Bo and the mountain gods to drive away the water tribe and demon tribe controlled by them and attack mortals.
This gives mortals a little breathing space.
You can escape from the iron heel of the coalition forces.
But their homes and wealth are gone.
"When Tianzun comes out of seclusion, I want to ask..."
"How should we defeat such a terrifying and powerful enemy..." Li Shisan murmured.
This is also a question that everyone in Liu County wants to ask.
Their enemies are too powerful!
So powerful that it makes people despair!
It was just a partial army with hundreds of chariots, and each chariot had a golden elixir monk on it, and each chariot had a treasure that the monks had sacrificed.
Ordinary people, even if they form a formation, use martial arts to fight in formation and fight.
It also breaks when touched!
The Liujun militiamen suffered heavy losses!
Nowadays, we can only organize some activities to respond to refugees outside Shashui.
I don't dare to go out to attack anymore.
Only the Shashui tribe, under the leadership of Li Shisan, can rely on magical powers to quietly sneak into the hinterland of the coalition forces and help the local refugees, Shui tribe, and demon tribe flee to Liu County.
Thanks to this, the allied monks and gods did not dare to be too harsh on Li Shisan.
No one dares to hurt a moral person.
However, it is difficult to achieve anything by relying on Li Shisan alone.
Because, the coalition forces quickly found a way to deal with Li Shisan.
They did not dare to harm Li Shisan directly, for fear of being stained with sin and causing disaster.
But they can trap and hold Li Shisan down.
Li Shisan's cultivation level is too low, and two He Bos can immobilize him together.
Then, the coalition forces can calmly eliminate the Shui Tribe around Li Shisan.
By killing these people, the coalition monks will have no worries.
Now, the reason why the Liujun militia and the Shui tribe can still go out is to help the refugees.
It's not because Liujun still has power.
It's just because the coalition forces are deliberately driving the refugees, the unruly water tribe and demon tribe, who have no food or clothing, towards the sand and water.
They seemed to have planned to spread a large net along the long border of Lu State and surround Liu County inside.
I will starve to death, sleep to death, and suffocate Liu Jun to death!
Now, the merchants in the Central Plains have been cut off.
Only the caravans from Chen, Cai, and Chu continued to enter Shashui.
Facing such an enemy.
All the people in Liu County were at a loss.
The nobleman from the Chu State suggested that he could send an envoy to Yingdu to ask the King of Chu to send troops.
but……
The Council of All Beings rejected this proposal without hesitation.
Tianzun has taught you this a long time ago.
Don't pray to princes.
Because the princes only want princes for generations!
Besides, the King of Chu must be better than the Duke of Qi?
The immortal descendants of Chu State no longer eat humans?
Under these two soul problems, that noble man could only lower his head.
Now, millions of sentient beings in Liu County can only wait.
Waiting for Tianzun to leave the customs.
They have never encountered anything like this.
Don't know what to do?
Some people even want to surrender.
However, such people have proven with facts that surrender is a dead end. They led people out of the sand and water to surrender in front of the coalition forces.
Then……
Was killed directly!
The attitude towards Liujun and the coalition forces is already very clear.
People have to change their species, but the knife has to go too far!
To cut weeds, we need to get rid of the roots!
They don't allow anyone to leave Liu County alive and spread dangerous ideas!
