With the cooperation of Qi, Qin and other warring states, the princes originally wanted to unite in Luoyi to overthrow the rule of Zhou and remove their title of co-lord of the world.

However, when we actually took action, we realized it was too late.

First, the princes from various countries who accepted Ji Bian's canonization changed their flags and banners to honor the Emperor of Zhou.

He raised his sword and attacked his original suzerain country in the name of injustice, causing endless internal chaos and leaving no time for others to take care of him.

But when they freed up their troops and rushed to Luoyi, they found that Zhou State had become much stronger in just half a year.

The passes around Luoyang were so tightly guarded that they were unable to conquer them in a short time.

At the same time, the God of Protector whom he had trained at home was so suppressed by the King of Ji of Zhou that he could not even lift his head.

What they didn't know was that while Ji Bian, the king of Zhou, was offering sacrifices to the God of Ji, he was

Lingqing also secretly refined the power of rules he possessed into a "co-owner" authority and gave it to Ji Wangshen.

This authority is like the "Lord of the Spiritual Kingdom", able to control everything in the country that respects it as the master.

In this way, when the princes took the initiative to pay homage to the Zhou Kingdom and recognized it as the co-lord.

He had already put everything he had into Ji Bian's hands.

And the Protector God they cultivated will also be controlled by Ji Wang God.

It's just that the Zhou Kingdom has been weak for a long time, and even with this power, it still cannot fully exert its capabilities.

Therefore, Ji Bian could only use it to compete with the coalition forces of various countries, but could not make them turn against the protector gods of various countries.

"Grandpa, although the passes are not impregnable, they are guarded by the city guard beasts and soldiers.

It is enough to make it impossible for the coalition forces of various countries to easily attack Luoyi."

In the palace of the Zhou royal family, Ji Yan, wearing a helmet and armor, stood in the main hall and reported to Ji Bian.

More than half a year has passed since Lingqing and Ji Yan discussed dividing the feudal lords.

During this period of time, Ji Bian had already quietly brought all the passes around Luoyi under Zhou's control.

And run it like an iron barrel.

"That's good."

Ji Bian nodded calmly.

At this time, his complexion was rosy and his face was radiant, and he did not look like a rotting wood at all.

He raised his head and looked at the hall above his head, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in his eyes.

"The longer we persist, the greater our hope will be for the Kingdom of Zhou."

As a young man, he had experienced life and death, and had seen through the inferiority and wealth. He originally wanted to remain anonymous and become an ordinary Chinese citizen.

Unexpectedly, his brother died too early and left no heirs.

Therefore, he was brought back and became the king of Zhou.

At first he tried hard to cure the problem, but gradually he realized that no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.

Later I simply gave up.

But two years ago, a vassal state of Zhu, the size of a sesame seed, came to ask for a seal.

But it was as if a huge boulder had been thrown into his stagnant water, causing ripples to rise and fall.

Now, a channel of living water has been dug out for him.

His ambition, which had been buried for decades, was rekindled.

'However, the hope of reviving the Zhou Kingdom must still be placed on Yan'er.'

He lowered his head, looked at Ji Yan who was becoming more and more provocative, and said.

"Yan'er, from now on you will be in charge of all the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Kingdom, and try to delay as much time as possible.

At this time, many of the feudal kingdoms were conquering the east and west, constantly encroaching on the territories of each country and strengthening themselves.

When the princes outside can no longer bear it, it is time for us to fight back."

"Bang!!!"

Ji Yan suddenly performed a military salute, and the iron armor on his body hit each other, making a loud noise.

Then he responded loudly: "Here!"

When the princes' expedition to Zhou was blocked, many small independent countries emerged in the country.

Taking advantage of the Zhou emperor's excuse to attack his subordinates, he began to attack cities and territories wantonly.

Just like when the major vassal states encroached on the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.

Now these small countries that were entrusted by Ji Bian are also constantly encroaching on the original countries to strengthen themselves.

When will countries begin to withdraw their troops when they cannot bear the pressure at home?

That means they have completely lost this sovereignty war.

The princes and kings also understood this truth.

But as the saying goes: once you make great progress, then it will fade away, and after three times it will be exhausted.

When they were unable to enter Luoyi immediately and overthrow the Zhou Dynasty, they were already passive.

For a moment, the allied forces of the princes were in a dilemma, and the war situation became deadlocked.

In the Kingdom of Wei, an old man over fifty years old sitting on a carriage couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, why do you sigh?"

asked the young man driving next to him.

"Master is naturally sighing at this world of feuding princes. I don't know how long it will last."

The disciple walking beside the carriage also sighed softly.

"Alas, with the passing of imperial edicts one after another from Emperor Zhou, dozens of countries were added to the territory of Wei overnight."

"The territory of Wei State is quite good. I heard earlier that Chu State suddenly split into more than a hundred countries."

"Suddenly, it can be said that most of the energy of all countries has been involved in internal friction."

"Yes, if this were not the case, I am afraid that the coalition forces of various countries would have..."

One of the disciples suddenly felt something was wrong mid-sentence and quickly kept silent.

And the entire team suddenly fell silent.

The Zhou royal family was the co-owner of the world, and it was within their power to enfeoff all the kingdoms, so there was nothing wrong with it.

But at this time, he directly bypassed his own vassal and conferred the title of vassal on his vassal. This was an act that violated etiquette and law.

These vassals leapfrogged their hierarchy to accept the enfeoffment from the King of Zhou, and in turn attacked their own master's house, which was also against etiquette and law.

However, the princes and kings were disobedient to the Zhou Dynasty first, and now they have even joined forces to attack the Zhou Dynasty, which can be described as treason and unethical.

All three parties have thrown aside etiquette, law, benevolence and righteousness, discarding them like worn-out shoes.

Is it true that today’s world is in a state of irremediable destruction of etiquette and music?

Thinking about it, not only did they feel confused, but where was the way forward?

After a moment of silence, the disciple driving the car asked.

"Master, what should we do?"

"Transfer to the capital of Lingguo."

Facing the confusion of his disciples, the Master looked up at the sky and said quietly.

"This game of chess cannot be played now."

Although the disciples didn't know what Daozi's words meant and why they wanted to go to Lingguo.

But since the Master has told you so, then just do it.

The motorcade then changed direction and headed towards Lingguo.

In the State of Chu, a man who once slept with his harp under the sycamore tree was playing the harp in a pavilion.

The servants coming and going around are constantly packing up some equipment for the long journey. When passing by the pavilion, they will subconsciously slow down and walk softly.

A maid was carefully walking through a portal holding a piece of lacquerware, when she suddenly saw the master's friend appearing in front of her.

Just as he was about to salute, he saw him wave his hand casually, turned around and entered the door.

After a while, the music in the courtyard stopped, and the owner came out together with him.

After getting into the car, he said softly: "Let's go!"

"Pa~"

The driver cracked his whip, and the neatly packed convoy slowly headed north.
