Early December, Qufu.

Lu Gong finally came back.

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.
