The State of Zhu, also known as the State of Zou, was originally a vassal state of the State of Lu.

Later, at the request of Duke Huan of Qi, the Emperor of Zhou conferred the title of Viscount on Zhu. Zhu Jun was then called Zhu Zi and ranked among the princes.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was also very popular.

In the land of Qilu, it is a powerful country second only to Qi and Lu.

However, it was gradually defeated in the war with Lu State, and was even destroyed by Lu State for a time.

Fortunately, there was no such thing as Juesi, and the descendants of later generations established the country again.

Up to now, the Zhu State has long been in decline, with political corruption and disloyal people.

Therefore, after hearing the conditions of Lingguo, the people of Zhuguo rushed to Lingguo with their families in tow.

In a desolate land not far from Lingguo, a man was walking on the land carrying large and small bags.

Next to him was a woman holding a baby in her arms and leading a boy of about ten years old.

"Hey, where are we going?"

The boy looked up and asked his mother.

"Go to Lingguo. I heard that the king there is wise and recruits children like you to teach you knowledge for free."

The woman held the swaddling clothes on her chest, lowered her head and smiled tenderly at the boy...

"By then our ferns will also be able to learn knowledge."

"Yes, let's give it a try when the time comes. I heard that even women can become officers if they pass the test."

The man tightened his backpack and smiled.

"Learning? Is it the one taught by Mr. Shang?"

Fern asked again doubtfully.

"Yes, we can all learn when the time comes," the man replied.

At this time, the three of them had just turned a mound, and the boy pointed ahead and shouted.

"Hey, this is Jie, and Mr. Shang."

The man took a look and saw a motorcade not far away.

One of the children is Ren Jie, who often plays with his own fern.

Jie also heard Fern's cry, turned around and said to his father, and the motorcade stopped and waited for them.

Jie Geng trotted over, and Fern also broke free from his mother's hand and came over.

Not to mention that the two children were chattering to themselves.

The man and his wife came to the carriage, first saluted the owner, and then said hello to Mr. Shang.

The owner's surname is Ren and Bi, and he is one of the three elders in their village.

Before he left the village, he heard that he was visiting relatives, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

At this time he looked at the man and asked.

"Miao, are you going to Lingguo too?"

"yes!"

The man named Miao said honestly.

"That's fine, let's go together."

Ren Bi invited directly without any concealment.

No one in the village dares to say that they have abandoned the country, so they need to cover up when leaving.

But since we met him on the road, we naturally know it well.

And in today's wilderness, where there are many wild beasts and wolves running rampant, even a few prime men can gain more strength.

"Thank you, Mr. Ren."

Although the Ren family is the third oldest in the family, the younger brother of his family got along very well with the introduction of the Ren family, so Miao did not refuse.

The Ren family is afraid of danger when they bring a team of people. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous for him to bring his wife and children?

But as long as he can survive in his homeland, he is unwilling to leave his hometown.

What's more, there is hope that one can change one's own children to go back to their own old ways.

As long as you can send your children there, you will have the possibility of becoming a scholar.

Now the two families gathered together and continued towards Lingguo.

Then I met a lot of fellow villagers and we got together.

The journey was uneventful, but unexpectedly, when we were about to reach Lingguo, we encountered a pack of wolves.

Miao stuffed his wife, son and infant child under the car.

Then he picked up a wooden stick and stood together with a group of young men, fearlessly confronting the wolves.

At the critical moment, Mr. Shang, who had a long beard reaching to his chest, calmly faced the danger and commanded.

"Push all the cars outside and let the old and the weak stand in the middle.

Valley deviation

Zhuang, you take Miao, Sha, and Loach to guard the left side, and I take the people to guard the right side.

This is not far from the border of Lingguo, let's move over slowly.

I have heard that there are people in Lingguo who are dedicated to taking care of people like us.

If we can meet them we will be safe."

"Here!"

After receiving the order, Ren Bi and others immediately had a backbone.

I was even more excited when I heard that someone from Lingguo was responding.

There were only a few cars, and the old and the weak were tightly surrounded in the middle and they moved forward slowly. Miao, Zhuang and others were guarding the outside with wooden sticks.

If there is any disturbance, stop and stay close to the car, and then move towards the border of Lingguo little by little.

Ouch

There was a sudden howl from the wolf pack, and the entire wolf pack suddenly changed, forming a circle to surround the convoy, and then slowly reduced the area.

"Mr. Shang, what should we do now?"

The motorcade had no choice but to stop, and Ren Bi couldn't help but ask.

"Stick where you are and then light a bonfire to get more smoke.

Now I can only hope to attract the spirit country to pick me up."

Mr. Shang looked at the wolves getting closer and closer and said decisively.

唳

At this moment, an eagle roar suddenly came from the air, causing a commotion among the wolves.

"what is that?"

Fern, who was held in her mother's arms, suddenly pointed at the sky and shouted.

"Everyone please stop being distracted."

After Mr. Shang reminded everyone, he looked into the air.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw a huge golden eagle swooping down from the sky.

At the same time, another loud shout came from my ears.

"The beast is looking for death!"

Riding on the golden eagle was a big man holding a jade sword and wearing jade armor.

As the golden eagle flew past the wolves, the jade sword flew in the hands of the big man.

Along with the miserable screams of the wolves, wolf blood spurted out all over the ground.

After a while, the group of more than a hundred wild wolves was killed by him.

Immediately, Mr. Shang saw the big man raise his hand and the huge golden eagle turned into a stream of light and flew into his hand.

"Thank you brave man."

Mr. Shang straightened his clothes and bowed to the big man in thanks.

"Sir, there is no need to be polite. My name is Lingqi, and I am a flying knight of the Ling Kingdom.

I came here to greet you on the orders of the king."

Cao Xu recruited forty men who were proficient in fighting techniques such as the Twelve Spirit Beast Art and were also strong in martial arts.

Each person gets a horse talisman and a golden eagle talisman to form a cavalry.

It's called Feiyangqi.

Not only can they use golden eagles to fly in the air as an air force, but they can also use Italian horses as light cavalry to charge into battle and kill the enemy.

Now they are being sent out by Lingqing to help people like Mr. Shang, Ren Bi, Miao and others who want to move to Ling Country.

"Thank you! Thank you Lingjun!"

After hearing this, Mr. Shang thanked him.

Miao and others were also very happy. They didn't expect that they, just ordinary people, would be attracted by Lord Ling to personally send someone to greet them.

"No need to be polite, just come with me."

Lingqi lifted him up, swung his ten-foot-long jade sword, released an eight-foot-tall white horse, strung the reins and walked forward to clear the way for everyone.

"Recently, the wild animals around the Lingguo border have been cleared away. This group probably came out of the mountains.

It’s my fault, the Lingguo, that all of you who are tired are frightened.”

"If so, this place still belongs to the Zhu Kingdom. This is Zhu Gong's fault, not Lingjun's fault."

The Zhu State was originally a viscounty state, and the king should have been called Zhuzi.

However, since the collapse of rituals and music in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Zhu simply regarded himself as a principality.

The people should call him Zhu Gong.

Now this group of people headed to Ling Kingdom under the leadership of Ling Qi.
