Since Lu Fusheng was taken in by Lu Li, she has settled down in Yunmeng Mountain.
Because for her, Lu Li gave her hope to live, so deep down she always regarded Lu Li as her savior.
Regardless of martial arts talent or being a minor master, in Lu Fusheng's heart, Lu Li is number one.
After listening, Lu Li shook his head helplessly. This little girl has such good martial arts talent, it can't be wasted.
After all, there are very few people in the entire world who can reach the level of a minor grandmaster.
"I see. I was originally planning to keep you by my side to study swordsmanship, but since that's the case..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fusheng immediately changed the subject and quickly said, "Ah? Then I can! Junior high student can take my place!"
"......"
How come this little girl changes so quickly?
"Alright, then from now on, Junior Three will take your place. You will live in the west wing room from now on."
After receiving Lu Li's affirmative reply, Lu Fusheng's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he walked happily toward the west wing.
............
The next day, Lu Li arrived at Xianyang Palace, but Jian Chen had already set off to return to Ghost Valley.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that the State of Zhao has sent an envoy to the State of Qi, seemingly with the intention of harming the State of Qin."
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, secretly relieved that Lu Li's Black Ice Platform existed; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have even noticed when the enemy attacked his doorstep.
How dare the State of Zhao be so audacious?
Back in the day, the State of Zhao was nearly destroyed by Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi. After decades of being obedient, how dare they now dream of starting a war again?
"Your Majesty, the Mohists have chosen the State of Zhao."
The Mohists have always helped the weak. They once fought against the powerful Zhao state, but after Zhao was defeated by Bai Qi, it became a weak state.
Now the Mohists have also sided with the weak Zhao state to resist the powerful Qin state.
"I see, then it's not surprising."
Lu Li was familiar with the affairs of various schools of thought from a young age, and the name of the Mohist school was especially well-known.
"I want to go to the State of Qi in person and persuade the King of Qi."
Ying Zheng was immediately taken aback, then stood up and said, "Sir, you mustn't, it's too dangerous."
"I will send a messenger instead; you must not take the risk, sir."
But Lu Li shook his head; he wouldn't feel comfortable sending just any envoy.
The person sent by the State of Zhao to persuade the King of Qi was likely a member of the Mohist school.
"No, I will not allow it! I would rather go to war with the six kingdoms than let you take such a risk!"
In Ying Zheng's mind, the State of Qi was like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, and he dared not let Lu Li go there.
Lu Li felt a warmth in his heart. He could tell that Ying Zheng was sincere and genuinely afraid that Lu Li would be in danger.
"Your Majesty is overthinking it. Even the State of Qi would not dare to do anything to me."
Lu Li is a member of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Although the Hundred Schools of Thought are in competition with each other, they are also closely connected. If the ruler of Qi dares to persecute Lu Li, then no one from the Hundred Schools of Thought will serve in Qi in the future.
Furthermore, Lu Li has also deployed many spies in Qi, and he will have Cangwu and the others accompany him on his mission to persuade Qi.
"Cangwu...can he protect the master?"
Ying Zheng knew that Cangwu was a Taoist soldier and was extremely powerful, but he was not very intelligent, which worried Ying Zheng.
"When Jian Chen returns, let him travel with you, sir."
Lu Li shook his head and said, "It's too late. I have to leave tomorrow."
"Then let's take Meng Tian with us. Meng Tian has now also stepped into the eighth level of martial artist."
Ying Zheng wished he could give all the experts around him to Lu Li at once.
"Meng Tian cannot leave Your Majesty, and Meng Tian's strength is not as good as Xiao Lu'er's. Your Majesty can rest assured."
With Cangwu and Xiaoluer, plus Lu Li himself having already reached the seventh level of martial artist, unless the Qi Kingdom mobilizes its army, it would be extremely difficult to keep him.
"Your Majesty, now that you wish to reform the Qin state, you must not start a war. If I can use my persuasive tongue to help the Qin state avoid war, it would be the best outcome for the Qin state."
After Lu Li's repeated insistence, Ying Zheng finally agreed to Lu Li's request.
"Sir, please be careful in everything you do. If it doesn't work out, there's no need to force it. The men of Qin are never afraid of war!"
Lu Li nodded and left Xianyang Palace.
After returning home and packing his belongings, he left Qin with Cangwu, Xiaoluer, and Lu Fusheng, heading towards Qi.
There are two routes to Qi: one is to pass through Han, Wei, and Zhao before reaching Qin.
The other route passes through Han, Wei, and Chu.
"Brother Lu, where are we going?" Little Deer asked.
"Let's go to the State of Zhao!"
Lu Fusheng was immediately taken aback, and then said, "Brother Lu, you mustn't! The Mohists are currently in the State of Zhao. Wouldn't going down the Zhao route be like walking into a trap?"
To everyone's surprise, Lu Li laughed and said, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Lu Li had not forgotten the assassination attempt on him by the Zhao state in alliance with the Mohists a few years ago.
His trip to Qi was also conducted in secret. Since he was passing through Zhao, he decided to collect some interest first.
"Let's go, let's go to the State of Zhao!"
The State of Zhao, Handan.
Lu Li and his group arrived at a tavern. As soon as they stepped inside, the waiter came to greet them.
"Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"
Lu Fusheng stepped forward and said, "Bring your manager out."
Seeing that the group was dressed in fine clothes, the waiter dared not neglect them and quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
