As a result, the officers and soldiers who were raiding the house came that night. Although they did not catch anyone, they plundered all the furniture, property, finished and semi-finished weapons, raw materials and tools in the home and the workshop, and then put seals on the doors of the weapons workshop and the house. When the weapons masters who were hiding outside observed this situation, they realized that what the two Chu people said was not false, so they scattered.
.
After staying in the Chu State Envoy's Mansion for more than ten days, Lu Jing's injuries healed a lot. Jing Yun persuaded Lu Jing to go to Chu State again. Lu Jing was grateful, but because he had an agreement with the King of Qi, he still refused Jing Yun.
Lu Jing and Sylvia moved out of the Chu State Envoy's Mansion, took a carriage to a remote village outside Qufu, and rented a house to live there. He planned to go to the King of Qi after his injury was healed. As for the hatred of being "killed" and house search, he must be repaid in the future!
During the practice of practicing, Lu Jing had a surprise: he found that he could no longer move his internal energy in the meridians without having to stand upside down, so he often practiced the reverse operation of true qi while practicing internal energy. This original skill gradually became proficient, which was also a major unexpected gain after his death.
Four months later, Lu Jing's two internal forces, Jin Bing, reached the level 6 of "martial artsman", and his injuries were basically cured. He and Sylvia pretended to be businessmen, spent 200 gold coins to buy a batch of silk, and drove a carriage to the northeast Qi State.
In the carriage, the blonde girl said to Lu Jing: "During the time you have recovered from the injury, I have intentionally learned about the situation in and around Qi. In general, I don't think the situation in Qi cannot be too optimistic!"
Lu Jing hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly."
Silvia explained: "In the 20 years since the old empress dowager in Qi, she and the entire Qi court seemed to have been hypnotized. She was very mentally retarded and believed that as long as Qi did not actively participate in the war, its friendship with other countries would continue, so she had a neutral attitude towards all wars. Although they watched the Tana eradicate other countries one by one, they still thought that Tana eradicate would not have ambitions for Qi. In addition to this old woman who was too stupid and too timid, she would only deceive herself and not dare to open her eyes to face reality, Tana's money offensive and lobbyists also played a great role."
Lu Jing sighed and thought to himself: "Isn't this the case in Lu State?"
The blonde girl continued: "Under the guidance of "benevolence, harmony, and no struggle", the Qi army was not well prepared and the training was abandoned. Most of the veterans and generals who had experienced the tempering of previous wars died and retreated. When the old empress dowager died and the new Qi king first came to power, the Qi army's combat power was not much better than the broiler Lu army."
"After the Ting Kingdom destroyed the Yan State in the northern part of Qi five years ago, most of the elite main forces of the Ting Kingdom left, but the Ting Kingdom troops stationed in the original Yan State still had 50,000. Once they went south, they could go straight to Lu or Qi State. Although this force was only a second-rate unit in the Ting Kingdom, its combat effectiveness was still far greater than that of the Qi army and the Lu army. The King of Qi is now obviously hostile to the Ting Kingdom, and the Ting Kingdom could not be unaware of this. Once the Ting Army in the northern part went south to attack Qi, the Qi State would immediately face the danger of destruction!"
Although Lu Jing knew that the blonde girl was telling the truth, she always had hope. He said: "I also know some of the situations in Qi State. Although the Qi army was very incompetent, after the new Qi King came to power, he vigorously strengthened his military equipment, removed many mediocre generals, and promoted a group of new officers. Although it was not long, the Qi army's combat power could always be improved by intensive training in the past six months. Moreover, with our radar, the combat power of the Qi army should be of great help. It's a pity that our laser gun was destroyed!"
Sylvia still disagrees with Lu Jing's optimism, but she no longer argues. She nodded and said, "No matter what, as a soldier, I am my mission to participate in the cause of justice, no matter how life, death, success or failure!"
Lu Jing thought to himself: "You are just driving a transport ship, not a soldier who directly participates in the battle, so you lack a sense of murderous aura. But if you are really a female warrior full of murderous aura, you are not as beautiful and cute as you are now."
When they arrived at the border of Luqi, they found that there were many Lu teams stationed on the border, and some soldiers were carrying out border inspections that did not exist in the past. They passed the inspection smoothly as merchants. Later, they learned from the passers-by that the silk they brought was not military supplies, so they were able to pass. If the car was carrying items that could be used for war, such as weapons, food, horses, vehicles, etc., it would not be easy to pass the border smoothly. Of course, if that was true, bribery had always been an effective way to deal with Lu's officers and soldiers.
After crossing the border between Luqi, Sylvia said worriedly: "Border inspections can show that Lu is wary of Qi. I think the Taming Kingdom has long been vigilant against Qi. I wonder if it will launch an attack on it on its own initiative."
Lu Jing was also worried and said, "Let's go to see King Qi quickly and do something within his ability."
They sold the silk they carried to a very low price of only 80% of the purchase price to several merchants they met on the road, then rushed to Linzi with a light car, and arrived at the museum near the Qi Palace in two days. After putting down their luggage, they immediately went to the Qi Palace's guide hall and reported it to the name, saying that they were the person the King of Qi wanted to meet very much.
The receptionist wrote Lu Jing's request on a white wooden sign, handed it in, and asked him to go back to the hall to wait. The two of them were afraid of missing the summons, so they waited in the hall and did not dare to go out at the same time. They only practiced their skills and chatted all day long.
It was not until the fifth day that someone suddenly came to find them. When the visitor saw Lu Jing, he said, "It's Mr. Lu. The king has been waiting for the master for several months. Now please go to the palace to see the king immediately." It turned out that the man was the guard who was on duty by the King of Qi when Lu Jing met the King of Qi several months ago. Half an hour ago, the King of Qi had just returned to the palace. When he saw the white wooden sign that Lu Jing was asking for a visit, he immediately sent the guard who knew Lu Jing to pick him up.
The Qi Palace covers a large area, with majestic and gorgeous palaces, showing the glorious history of this country as the richest country in Zhongzhou. The guard took Lu Jing for a quarter of an hour, walked through several corridors, arrived in a garden, and then stopped in front of a house. There were more than a dozen armored guards with knives standing guard in front of the house.
The guard said at the door: "Young Master Lu is here." The door was opened soon, and a guard was also the one who opened the door. A familiar voice came from behind the guard: "Come in quickly."
Lu Jing walked in alone, walked around the screen, and saw that there was a person standing in the room, which was King Qi. He looked much darker than a few months ago and was a little thinner. There were also several people who looked like civil and military officials, sitting or standing, looking at the door. A huge map of Zhongzhou hung on the wall opposite the door.
