Four hundred and twentieth chapters send you a ride
"Master!"
The Confucian leader who dominated the land of Qilu was captured by a mere Qi soldier. He was captured before Gongduzi could restrain himself, and several Confucian disciples behind him were indignant.
His whole body shone brightly, he moved with steps, blocked Gongduzi, and glared angrily at the armored soldiers approaching him. If he wanted to capture the Confucian disciple, there must be at least a reason.
Otherwise, all the Confucian scholars in Qilu would not agree.
Several people were in front, and the rest of the Confucian disciples also realized that no matter what, they must give an explanation to the Confucian disciples, otherwise, if they refuse to accept it, the matter will become a big problem, and Qi will not benefit.
"You are wanton. The Prime Minister has ordered that anyone who dares to act differently will be killed without mercy!"
When the general who was ordered to attack the Mohist disciples at Jixia Academy saw this, he became furious. He drew out the long sword at his side, shouted from the left and right, and pointed his powerful crossbows at the Confucian disciples.
He naturally knows the status of Confucianism in Qilu, and the Prime Minister must also know it. However, he still issued such a policy. It is obvious that in the Prime Minister's heart, there are certain things that surpass Confucian disciples.
Even if something goes wrong, there is still the Prime Minister standing in front of him, so he has no fear and issues military orders. If these Confucian disciples are still ignorant, he will directly attack and kill them with arrows to let them know who is in charge of the Qilu land.
"Everyone, stand down!"
Gongduzi said lightly without arguing or saying anything. When things got to this point, compared with the friendship between Qi and Qin, the Confucianists in this area would not be able to get on the stage. If the trouble got bigger, the Confucians would not be able to get any good.
Compared to Confucianism, Qin was more important to Qi.
"Master!"
Even though Gong Duzi spoke, there were still Confucian disciples beside him who were dissatisfied, with extremely anxious expressions, and quite a bit of disbelief. Could it be that the leader was just waiting for death, or was there something secret that they didn't know.
"Have you all forgotten Confucian etiquette?"
"Back off!"
Feeling that the Confucian disciple beside him did not listen to his orders, Gongduzi raised his eyebrows and was quite unhappy. He raised his voice a little, shouted something, moved his steps again, walked to the armored soldier, and stretched out his hands.
This time, all the Confucian disciples lowered their heads and did not respond. Although they still looked unwilling, but the leader was like this, they had no choice but to obey. It was expected that the Qi State officials would not dare to do anything to the Confucianists.
When the other hundreds of people not far away saw this, they all had strange expressions on their faces. What on earth had happened, so that the Mohist family was robbed and the Confucian family was also in disaster.
Will such disasters affect them? Or, something happened in Qilu that they don't know about. In any case, hundreds of schools have different thoughts, watching the disappearance of the Mohists and the capture of the Confucians.
Half an hour later!
All the people of the hundreds of schools in Jixia Academy were cleaned up. Except for the disciples of Confucianism and Mohism who were punished, the other hundreds of schools went in and out on their own. However, the general who carried out the task looked frowning.
Looking at the few Mohist disciples at the exit, it was obviously not consistent with the number of Mohist disciples learned from hundreds of families, so soldiers were sent to search the entire Jixia Academy, waiting for a response.
"Report, General!"
Soldiers who had explored the secrets of Jixia Academy returned one by one. Although the entire Jixia Academy was large, it only had a radius of two or three miles. There were already soldiers surrounding it, so it was impossible for the Mohists to disappear out of thin air.
"Has there been any trace of anyone from the Mo family?"
The general felt impatient and asked directly.
"This..., the villain searched everywhere, but never found any disciples of the Mo family in the academy!"
The soldier responded nervously, feeling uneasy.
"So, you want to reply to me that the group of Mohist disciples flew out directly from Jixia Academy?"
"Let me tell you, the Prime Minister personally confessed this matter. If this general is punished, none of you will be able to eat anything good. You are a bunch of trash. If you don't look for them again, see if they are hiding in a corner of the academy.
!”
The general's expression became more and more ugly. The Prime Minister was in charge of the affairs of the country and had all the power. He gave orders, and if he did them well, he would be rewarded heavily. If he did not do well, he would lose his official position. Hearing the words of the soldiers, he cursed angrily and kicked him.
on that person.
"General, although I didn't find any trace of the Mohist family in the academy, I did find a tunnel in front of the west wall. Judging from the soil quality, it seems to have been newly dug."
"It has been rumored that the Mo family is good at mechanism arts, but it is uncertain. They had no hope of getting out, so they directly used the mechanism beast to dig a tunnel and escaped from the tunnel. The villain wanted to go in for a look, but was afraid that they would ambush them, so he came first.
Report!"
Another soldier who was searching did find something. He knelt down on the ground and stood on the ground. Feeling the shape of his companion beside him, his heart suddenly jumped and he quickly told the clues he had found without any hesitation.
"A newly dug tunnel!"
"Where is it? Lead the way quickly!"
Sure enough, when the general heard this, his expression was startled, but there was a possibility. The Mo family's mechanism beasts had been famous in all Xia for a long time, and Jixia Academy had been surrounded by heavy troops. Unless they could fly into the sky and escape to the earth.
Flying into the sky seems to be impossible now.
If you were to escape, there was a newly dug tunnel, which might have been left by someone from the Mo family. With a thought in your heart, you immediately kicked the man again and urged.
"yes!"
The soldier quickly stood up and trotted ahead to lead the way.
Behind them is a large group of elite soldiers in armor, with crossbows and arrows on their bows, ready to fight at any time. If the group of Mohist disciples are still in the tunnel, they will die. If they escape, they can be pursued.

"Hahaha, Your Excellency Daowu Zhenjun, although this world of heaven and earth appeared in Linzi not long ago, its reputation has been spread for a long time, and many nobles and nobles like this place very much."
Three days later, in the elegant room on the third floor of the Heaven and Earth, Zhou Qing was sitting at the top, with Yan Lingji in a gorgeous red robe following behind him. On the right side of the lower chamber, the Prime Minister of Qi Hou Sheng himself, on one side, there was also the Heaven and Earth.
Top-notch dancers serve you.
The mellow wine was poured, and the soft nephrite was next to it. In the hall, there were three graceful dancers with their sleeves flying. Although there were no silk and bamboo orchestras to entertain, it was enough to entertain the audience.
Hou Sheng raised the glass with both hands, looked at Zhou Qing who was looking up, and spoke loudly, praising this place. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be quite sincere. Those who didn't know the inside story thought that Hou Sheng liked this place quite a lot.
For Zhou Qing, after listening to his words, he just disappeared with the wind. The heaven and the earth stood in Linzi. Most of the quotas submitted every month went into Hou Sheng's pocket, each time no less than a thousand gold.
So, how can you not like heaven and earth?
"The appearance of heaven and earth is just random. Xuanqing was born in the Taoist Heavenly Sect. Although he is detached from the world, since he has entered the world, he naturally wants to enjoy the ultimate pleasures in the world and experience everything in the world of mortals."
"Does the Prime Minister think so?"
Holding the wine bottle, he nodded and took a sip. He held a delicate snack with a white palm at the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and swallowed it in his mouth. Then he put down the wine bottle in his hand and asked about it.
"This is a wonderful statement."
"Hou Sheng is delighted. For more than ten years, Hou Sheng has been in charge of the state affairs of Qi State. Under the pressure of political affairs, there is little relief. There is such a wonderful thing about joyful things. Spending a day alone is quite enjoyable."
Hou Sheng echoed, with a smile on his face. He put one hand around the enchanting figure of the top dancer beside him. The tentacles were smooth and pleasant. He nodded and looked at Zhou Qing, full of contentment and happiness.
"For decades, the political affairs of the State of Qi have been stable and the country is peaceful. This is all due to the efforts of the prime minister. He is worthy of being the pillar of the country that the King of Qi relies on."
"Compared to the Prime Minister, Xuan Qing is far inferior. He has learned all the Taoist principles, but is not good at many complicated political affairs. Therefore, I would like to resign as king and travel to the Xia Dynasty to see the splendor of the country."
"I have been through the Chu State, the Wei State, and now the Qi State. It is a pity that without those so-called knights and swordsmen, Xuanqing would be extremely happy."
In the private room, they were chatting casually, drinking with each other, and the loud voices were endless. Looking at the person next to him who was gradually enveloped by the fire charm spread intentionally or unintentionally by Yan Lingji, he said with deep meaning.
The existence of the latter is an excellent help for the Qin State. Decades ago, during the Battle of Changping, the Qin State and the Zhao State faced each other until the last year of the three years of the war.
Qin's country was short of food and grass, and Zhao's country was also short of food and grass. Originally, King Zhaoxiang thought that the battle at Changping would be a futile one, and he never thought of responding to Fan Ju's plan, which was blocking Zhao's trip to seek help from the rich Qi country.
.
The plan fell through. The King of Qi and Tian Shuang had promised to supply grain and grass to Zhao, but they changed their minds the next day and categorically rejected it. The key to this was the power to win without the aid of Qi, coupled with the indispensable use of force.
Countermeasures.
That year, the Battle of Changping came to an end, completely defeating the Zhao State, the only country among the Six Shandong Kingdoms that could rival Qin in military terms. Although the Qin State was in political chaos afterwards, the Six Shandong Kingdoms were even more unbearable.
"Haha, Lord Daowu, don't worry. Since you are in Qi State, you will definitely not let external forces interfere with your pleasure of traveling."
"Three days ago, Hou Sheng had sent troops to kill all the Mohists in Jixia Academy, and also issued a document to arrest all Mohist disciples in Qi State."
"That's not the case. After Hou Sheng's exploration, it seems that Confucianism has also been involved in things that harm the friendship between Qin and Qi. Therefore, they also sent troops to imprison Confucian Gongduzi and his entourage to await your disposal."
"For more than a hundred years, Confucianism has had a great reputation in the Qi State. Zhao Zhen of Zhao State visited Xiaoshengxian Manor many days ago, and there was an incident of intrusion on you three days ago. Although Xiaoshengxian Manor did it directly, the suspicion is not small!
"
Hou Sheng Lao Cheng Mou Guo, how could he not hear the hidden meaning of Zhou Qing's words? He stretched out one hand from the waist and abdomen of the dancing girl beside him, cupped his hands in a salute, laughed loudly, and told all the results of the past three days.
For doing this, the Mohists must pay a price, and since the Confucians are suspected, they can't get away cleanly. Although the Confucians are powerful, it is not the Confucians' turn to call the shots in Qi State.
"Xuan Qing is assured of the Prime Minister's actions. However, the only ones who attacked and killed me that day were the Sword Master Cao Qiudao, the Mohist giant, Zhao Guo Zhao Zhen and others. There were no Confucian people."
"Perhaps Confucianism is related to this matter, but there is no direct evidence. Qin's law of continuous sitting is not in line with Qi's law. Moreover, the Confucian Duke Duzi is a famous figure in hundreds of schools. If there is any mistake, it will damage the reputation of Qi."
After hearing Hou Sheng's words, Zhou Qing nodded with a smile on his face and returned the favor. He knew what had happened in the past three days. It seemed that Hou Sheng was really interested in Qin.
However, the risk of offending the Confucian and Mohist schools of hundreds of schools at once is not small. At this moment, there is nothing wrong with the later victory. When he mentioned the fate of the Confucian people, Zhou Qing waved his hands, and the meaning was revealed.
"This..., how does Lord Daowu think we should deal with the Confucian people?"
In an instant, Hou Sheng felt warm in his heart. No matter what the other party meant, even if he did not fear Confucianism within the Qi State, the Confucianists' catastrophic devastation to the Qi State would still be a huge trouble.
Listening to the other party's intention, it seemed that he did not want to punish Confucianism severely. Feeling this, Hou Sheng's eyes flashed with inspiration and he asked about it.
"Pass my message to that Gongduzi: The great master of the Mohist family has passed away. In the near future, the Taoist Tianzong Xuanqingzi will go to Xiaoshengxian Village in person to see the Confucian leader Gongduzi on his last journey and meet with his teacher Meng Ke."
"Prime Minister, do you think this is appropriate?"
