Chapter 80: The Upper and Lower Kingdoms of Lu

Everyone entered the city of Qufu, and saw that the people in the past saw Lu Ziming's return to the city, and they all stepped forward to talk to Lu Ziming, such as "the son has returned", "I have seen the son", "the son is going to enter the palace to meet my king" Words like this came from the mouths of ordinary people, and Lu Ziming also responded one by one, with a happy expression and no strange feeling, thinking that Lu Ziming and the people in the city are like this on weekdays, if it is not for the current prince of Wu Guo, Lu Ziming is only afraid that he will stop the unicorn and talk to the people. When everyone saw this, they were all surprised, and they didn't want Lu Ziming, as the prince of Lu Guo, to get along with the people so easily, and the people of Lu were also fearless in the face of the prince of Lu Guo. I saw Bo Xiang immediately whispered to Wu Yong, "I don't want the prince of Lu Guo to hesitate to do this, but it is insulting to my clan."

Wu Yong saw Lu Ziming's way of getting along with the people, and he didn't know whether it was okay or not, but Wu Yong knew that Qufu was the hometown of Confucius, and he heard that the way of Confucianism was the golden mean of benevolence. And what Wu Yong thinks in his heart is also the idea of most people on this trip, of course, the young man Bai Qi is not among them.

I saw that the people of Qufu saw Bai Qi riding on the silver wolf, and most of them let out exclamations, and the people in the city looked at Baishan with a shocked look, and couldn't help but signal to the people that Baishan was not a vicious beast, and his expression was also quite happy

The color of pleasure is that Bai Qi knows that the people are not malicious. Lu Ziming saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and saw that the silver wolf boy looked calm, but he was different from everyone, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Bai Qi in his heart, Wu Guoshizi and others all showed indifference, thinking that they didn't take the way of the Lu people as a matter of course, and Lu Ziming had no sense of blame in his heart. Although it is a world of great contention today, what the Lu country seeks is only to ensure the stability of one party, and Confucianism pursues the golden mean, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Lu people. Therefore, the country of Lu is weak, but no Lu people want to change this status quo.

Before everyone walked to the Lu Palace, everyone jumped off the unicorn, but Bai Qi was no exception, Bai Qi knew that into the Lu Palace, Bai Shan could not go along, so he jumped off the wolf's back, whispered a few times in Bai Shan's ear, followed behind everyone, Lu Ziming saw this, and did not say much, and walked in everyone's way, leading the prince of Wu Guo into the Lu Palace.

In the Debang Hall of Lu Palace, Lu Wang Lu General heard that the prince of Wu and his entourage had entered the palace, and immediately led the prince of the country to pay tribute, and the courtiers such as Zuo Qiu Ming and the doctor went to greet him.

Wu Yong walked in the Lu Palace, and saw that there were very few palaces in the Lu Kingdom, and there was no majestic palace of the king, so the palace was inferior to the mansion of his own prince, and the national strength of the country was indeed far from the upper kingdom in the secret way, and Wu Yong had a contempt for the Lu State for a while.

Follow Lu Ziming to the front of the Debang Palace used by the Lu Dynasty, I don't want King Lu to be waiting outside the palace with a group of Lu ministers, Wu Yong saw that King Lu was actually leading the courtiers to greet him, and his heart was also extremely useful, Wu Yong immediately bowed to King Lu and said, "I don't want to have King Laolu to greet him", everyone saw Wu Yong like this, so they also bowed down to King Lu.

Everyone is also the first time to see King Lu Lu general, I don't want King Lu is already quite twilight, I saw King Lu see Wu Yong like this, but also to Wu Yong and said, "The prince is polite, my Lu country is already attached to Wu at the moment, the prince is here, and the widow wants to welcome him in person" King Lu said, and all the courtiers of Lu State behind him bowed down to Wu Yong and said, "I have seen the prince of Wu State"

Although Lu is a vassal of Wu at the moment, it is beyond Wu Yong's expectation that King Lu personally greeted him, and he didn't want the monarchs and ministers of Lu to respect the prince of Wu so much, and everyone couldn't help but feel excited when they saw this, and everyone was proud of Wu at this moment.

Wu Yong saw that the monarchs and ministers of the Lu State were like this, and secretly said that the Lu State and the king respected the Confucian way, and the Lu State was indeed extremely important to the etiquette, so he didn't think much about it, and said to the King of Lu, "King Lu, I don't want to enter the palace to talk"

When King Lu heard this, he said, "It should be so," and immediately invited everyone into the temple.

After everyone followed the monarchs and ministers of Lu into the Debang Palace, King Lu immediately ordered the chamberlain to move the seat for Wu Yong, and after asking Wu Yong to sit down, King Lu sat down on the main hall and said to Wu Yong, "I want to know that the king of Qi has passed down the decree in the next life, and tomorrow the 300,000 troops of the Qi country will be drawn from Linzi to attack my Lu country, and I don't know when the prince will lead the troops to garrison my Yingcheng."

The city of Yingcheng of Lu is connected with Qi, and if Qi wants to capture Qufu, Yingcheng is the only way for the army of Qi to pass. Wu Yong heard the words of the king of Lu, and knew in his heart that the Qi country was coming, Wu Yong as early as the time of Gusu, he made an understanding of the cities of the Lu country, and knew that it took five days for the Qi army to go to Yingdi from the land of Linzi, and it only took two days to go to Yingcheng from the land of Qufu to Yingcheng, so Wu Yong was not in a hurry to go to Yingcheng to garrison at the moment, and said to King Lu at the moment, "Yongzi knows about this, our army is stationed in Yingcheng, King Lu does not need to be anxious, I don't know how much Lu troops are in power" Wu Yong said this, but asked how many soldiers and horses Lu would send to participate in the war.

I saw that General Lu heard Wu Yong's words, quite bitter, and did not say anything to answer for a while, and the minister Zigong saw this, so he said to Wu Yong, "Don't hide it from the son, my Lu country is weak, and now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and this battle still depends on the army of Wu State" Zigong's words are quite for the matter of garrisoning Yingcheng, and Lu State did not have the intention of sending troops.

When Wu Yong heard Zigong's words, he suddenly felt angry in his heart, and he didn't want Qi to attack Lu, but Lu had no intention of sending troops, but it was ridiculous, so he didn't say anything more.

Zigong saw that Wu Yong was already showing an unswerving color, and immediately sighed, and then said, "I still hope that the prince of the world will fight my Lu country, if it is not for the weakness of my Lu country, why do I need to turn to Wu country, but the ministers also know that they are ashamed of Wu country by doing this, and they will make the prince unhappy, and the ministers are terrified, if the prince leads his troops back to Gusu, my Lu country will not have a heart of resentment."

Wu Yong heard Zigong's words, saw that Zigong's appearance was sincere and not like a fake, he didn't want Lu Guo's national strength to be so unbearable, this time to help Lu Guo was an opportunity for Wu Yong to make contributions, Wu Yong would not lead the troops back, but he wanted Wu Yong to agree, and Wu Yong was unwilling in his heart.

Seeing this, Bo Xiang said to Zigong, "My Wu army will not return, but if Lu does not send troops to resist the Qi army, how can the prince explain to my Wu soldiers" Wu Yong heard Bo Xiang's words, and his heart was quite approving, so he also looked at Zigong.

Zigong heard Bo Xiang's words, and saw Wu Yong looking at him, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, Zigong's words were just sure that Wu Yong would not lead the troops back, and he didn't want the prince of Wu to be so angry, only to see Zigong's expression flashed a trace of shame, and said to Bo Xiang, "I don't know who is under the feet" Bo Xiang saw Zigong quite ashamed.

Zigong heard Boxiang's words, so he said, "I don't want to be the son of Dazai, but the prime minister is rude, Shaolang's words are quite embarrassing, so my Lu country will send 5,000 troops and the army of Wu to garrison Yingcheng, I don't know what the prince thinks "Although Zigong has never seen Boxiang, but how I don't know the person who often accompanies the son of Wu Guo, it must be Dazai's eldest son Boxiang."

I saw that Bo Xiang heard Zigong's words, and it seemed to be extremely useful, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of joy in his heart.

Wu Yong heard Zigong's words, and knew that there were only more than 10,000 troops available in Lu State, and it was not easy to send 5,000 troops, and there was no other way at the moment, so he said, "In this way, it depends on Xiangguo's words"

Zigong heard Wu Yong's words, and his heart suddenly became overjoyed, and Lu Wang Lu General couldn't help but be secretly happy at this moment, so he got up and said to Wu Yong, "The son of the world is righteous, and the widow has thanked the son of the world for my Lu people."

And Sun Bing, who was following behind Wu Yong, saw this, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he didn't want the son and Shang Jun to be the same mother, but their hearts were very different. Although the country of Lu is weak, it also has five cities, how can there be more than 10,000 soldiers to fight. However, Wu Yong agreed to Lu Guo's request, and Sun Bing was not allowed to question it.

Wu Yong then asked the king of Lu about the information he had found about the state of Qi, but saw that Wu Yong and the monarchs and ministers of the state of Lu had a very happy conversation, Wu Yong's intention was quite out of the palace of Lu after he led the army to the land of Yingcheng, and the monarchs and ministers of the state of Lu heard the words, and they made a great gift to Wu Yong. King Lu ordered Lu Ziming to lead 5,000 soldiers of the Lu State to accompany him.

Sun Bing and the three followed behind Wu Yong, and they didn't say a word during the period, but Sun Bing and Sun Jia saw that the son of the world was like this, and they were helpless in their hearts, and they didn't want Wu Yong to be so gullible and flattering.
