After he left Yan, he went to Jin again and wanted to discuss countermeasures with the King of Jin. However, Jin was now surrounded by enemies from both sides. None of the counselors had any countermeasures. Some even ran away. Most of those who did not escape also persuaded the King of Jin to surrender.

Alright.

But the King of Jin is unwilling to surrender. All of his soldiers are loyal and brave. If the enemy comes, they will fight to the death!

In order to help King Jin gain strength, he went to the territory of the Giants again and spent a lot of time talking before finally convincing the King of Giants to help.

But the Giant King will not really let the Giants participate in the war. His thoughts are the same as those of the Witch Clan and the Monster Clan. He does not care about the life and death of mortals. He just wants to protect the Jin Kingdom so that he can live in peace.

Three days later, Kong Ru learned all the totems of the giants, including some powerful totems that they had never taught others before. With these totems, Jin should be able to compete with Chu and Yan.

After handing the totem to the King of Jin, Confucius set out for Qin. In Qin, he still had an old friend who he didn't know if he could meet.

Sure enough, he was worrying too much. He was a monk, so how could he not meet him? Xu Xinyi was now the master of the Qin State. When Confucius met the King of Qin, he was by the side.

After the King of Qin knew that there was a story between the two people, he became very fond of Confucius.

"Young man, I am very optimistic about you. You might as well join our Qin Kingdom. I would like to make you the prime minister."

Xu Xinyi also thought the same way. He had always felt regretful about not being able to bring Confucius to Qin before, but now that this person has come to visit him on his own initiative, it is not too much to strive for it.

But Confucius shook his head and refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I still want to walk more."

He has been walking for more than ten years, but it seems that this road will never end and he doesn't want to stop.

"Is it because of the kids?"

Xu Xinyi asked.

"this……"

Confucius never thought about why he never stopped. He saw countless scenery and met ignorant people. He never tired of doing this kind of thing, but he never thought about the reason.

"Maybe you were right..."

Living well like a human being is the reason why he became a traveler.

King Qin vaguely remembered that Xu Xinyi had told him about this young man, so he didn't want to make things difficult for him and just let him go.

Qin's support is the monks. Now the King of Qin and the leaders of the monks are here, so we can chat together. Regarding the upcoming war, Qin is united and determined to fight to the end.

The cultivators are especially determined. Facing the demons, they don't want to take a step back.

But their power is too weak now. Since a long time ago, the spiritual energy in this world has become thinner and thinner, making it more and more difficult for ascetics to practice. The witches, giants, demons, and demons are not as dependent on spiritual energy as the ascetics are.

Big, so I can still have some strength now, and ascetics rely entirely on spiritual energy for cultivation, which has led to fewer and fewer ascetics. Now even a half-hearted person like Xu Xinyi has become a leader.

Qin is now in a desperate situation.

"I said I would repay you. This time, let me go to the State of Lu to see if I can find a solution."

It has been ten years since he left. Lu State was the last place he wanted to go, but this time, he had to go back.

Compared with other countries, although Lu is the strongest, it is also the most chaotic.

The capital city was lifeless, and only the demon servants could be seen walking around in the streets with arrogance. Most people did not dare to breathe.

Kong Ru found a small inn and wanted to take a rest and have something to eat, but he saw that there was only the old shopkeeper in the inn, not even a waiter.

The shopkeeper looks quite old, and he didn't expect to go out to do business.

"Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat here?"

The old shopkeeper looked sad and walked over to him and said:

"Sir, we haven't been open for a long time. There are only a few eggs and some noodles in the kitchen. If you are hungry, I will give you a bowl of noodles without charging you."

"Thank you, shopkeeper, but I can't spare you a cent of this money. Please hurry up. I've been walking for too long and I'm a little hungry."

Kong Ru said with a smile. Influenced by him, the old shopkeeper also managed to show a smile.

The old shopkeeper was not a professional cook, so the noodles tasted average, but Kong Ru was already hungry after being gone for so long, so he didn't pay much attention to it and ate it happily.

After eating a bowl of noodles and wiping his lips, Kong Ru started chatting with the old shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, why is the business here so bad? I see that other shops outside are also so lifeless."

The old shopkeeper looked bitter, pulled up a chair and sat next to Confucius, and began to complain to him:

"Sir, you are not from the Lu country. Oh, please leave quickly. This Lu country is not a good place. The monarch wants to go to war with the Qin country. For this reason, they captured many people and sacrificed them to the demons. Look at it.

Maybe I saw a child outside? I'm afraid all the children in Kyoto have been captured and given away.

The demons ate them, even the older children were no exception. My family originally had a grandson, but the demon servants captured him and wanted to give it to the demons. The son and daughter-in-law were unwilling, so they killed him.

How can I survive if I am left alone as a dying old man?"

As he said this, the old shopkeeper couldn't bear it anymore and cried.

The State of Lu left many sad memories to Kong Ru. The words of the old shopkeeper made these memories come to mind again, and Kong Ru couldn't help but start to shed tears.

"This damn demon!"

Kong Ru cursed angrily, which frightened the old shopkeeper so much that he didn't even bother to cry and quickly stopped Kong Ru.

"You can't say this! If others hear it, you'll be dead!"

Seeing that the old shopkeeper was afraid, Kong Ru quickly shut up and stopped talking about it.

After staying in this inn for one night, Confucius went to King Lu's palace the next day. He bypassed the many guards and went directly to King Lu.

The people outside were in dire straits, but King Lu would enjoy it. When Confucius saw him, he was having fun in bed with several concubines.

"You are cruel, cruel, and shameless. Are you worthy of being a king?"

Kong Ru's voice startled King Lu. King Lu turned around and saw a stranger standing there with a murderous look. He was frightened at that time.

He didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he quickly climbed to the foot of the bed, panicked and pulled the two concubines closest to him, letting the two weak women stand in front of him, while he hid behind him and shouted outwards.

shouted:

"There are assassins! Protect us! Protect us quickly!"

The two concubines were also frightened, and the panic on their faces was extremely pitiful. They were naked and could only barely cover some of the spring light with their hands, and they hid behind King Lu in fear.

Kong Ru didn't want to pay attention to them anymore. With King Lu looking like this, what else could he have to talk to him about.

"Scum like you will reap the consequences sooner or later."

He turned around and pushed open the palace door, jumped up to the roof and fled out. The palace maids, eunuchs and guards who heard the sound could not catch up with him.
