Hua Kai came to Jicheng and saw the crisis in Jicheng. He quickly killed two low-level monsters because another low-level monster exploded and was slightly injured. Then he used [Five Elements Mountain] to assist Jicheng people in the foundation-building stage and finally drove away the two intermediate monsters. Only then did the crisis in Jicheng resolve. Hua Kai then learned that the King of Yan had been out for three months and no one knew where the King of Yan had gone.
Hua Kai guessed that this must be related to Zhao Dan. Zhao Dan was afraid of Qin Zheng, but he could give up the entire Zhao State no matter what, so there must be some secret. The relationship between Zhao and Yan has always been good. This time the King of Yan could abandon the entire Yan State and leave with the King of Zhao. There must be a reason that made them let go of everything.
"This year, the number of wild beasts in Yan State has increased suddenly, and the number of wild beasts is several times more than before. Two intermediate monsters that were rarely seen in previous years appeared in Jicheng. Yan State's Tuhe City, Wuyang City, Lingzhi City, and Guzhu City were all attacked by monsters..." The Prime Minister of Yan State saw Hua Kai drive away all the monsters in Jicheng, and all the wild beasts in Jicheng were being cleared out bit by bit. The city guards guarded all the gaps, and came to Hua Kai and said.
"Because of the Central Plains War, the population has dropped sharply and wild beasts are rampant. Huaxia is also not peaceful. The seven major urban areas have been attacked by monsters. Xiacheng has repelled five intermediate monsters, and I can't stay in Yan State for a long time.
I will go to Tuhe City and Wuyang City to clear all the monsters. Lingzhi City and Guzhu City will have to be dealt with by yourselves!" Hua Kai saw that the other party asked him to clear all the monsters in the big cities in the country, and he interrupted him directly.
Even if they are allies, there is no reason for Hua Kai to help deal with all the monsters. Even if the Jindan realm faces the monsters' self-explosion, they will be injured or even die.
Seeing this, the prime minister of Yan State had no choice but to nod his head. It would cost human lives to eliminate wild beasts, especially demon beasts. Any demon beast's self-detonation could cause huge casualties.
It took Hua Kai two days to go to Yan State. He is now more and more skilled in killing demon beasts. If he catches a chance to kill a primary demon beast, he can kill it directly. However, he has to be extremely careful in a head-on battle with an intermediate demon beast. There are very few opportunities to kill an intermediate demon beast. If he is not careful, he will die.
After returning from Yan State, Hua Kai only stayed in Huacheng for one day. He learned that the situation in various cities was relatively stable. He came to Xiacheng again. After helping Xiacheng eliminate wild beasts for a day, he went to Qi State.
This is the first time Hua Kai has returned to Qi State in seven years. This time he came back is completely different from before. He used to be in Qin State to survive, but this time he has become a Jindan realm strongman. What he wants in Qi State is momentum!
The situation in Qi was much more serious than that in Yan. Hua Kai went south and saw that many counties were attacked by wild beasts. The whole city was no longer filled with the familiar cheerful sounds, but only the scattered roars of wild beasts.
When wild beasts attacked a city, they would eat all the food here, and then move on to the next target, leaving behind mostly some weak and injured wild beasts.
When they arrived at Le'an City, Le'an City, as the county seat, was full of fighting sounds. Hua Kai saw two primary monsters wreaking havoc in Le'an City, and there were only a few innate realms in Le'an City. They could not stop the monsters' attack. Seeing the monsters killing the inner city, they could only prepare to let some of their core members withdraw, but which city could they enter in the winter!
Hua Kai quickly attacked and killed a primary antelope monster, which was much more useful than the other lizard. Hua Kai put the antelope monster into his personal space, and then slowly approached another monster. The monster felt Hua Kai's strong willpower and turned to flee far away.
Le'an City has a population of about 100,000, which is considered a relatively large city in Qi State. When everyone saw the two powerful monsters die and flee in an instant, they thought that Linzi City sent the foundation-building realm to rescue them. When they saw Hua Kai appear alone, some people recognized him, because Hua Kai was the head portrait on the face value of the one-gold denomination of the Hua currency, the ruler of Huaxia State.
Hua Kai entered Anle City and quickly killed some wild beasts. Seeing that several innate realms had stabilized the inner city, he did not stop and continued to move south. He arrived outside Linzi City at 5 pm in the afternoon.
Outside Linzi City, there were groups of wild beasts gathering everywhere, and there were traces of battles everywhere on the city walls, and collapsed houses everywhere in the outer city. This shows that the battle experienced by Linzi City this year must have also experienced a major war.
More than a dozen monsters were quietly waiting ten miles outside Linzi City. Among them, only one intermediate monster posed a small threat to Linzi City. Hua Kai saw this and started a fight with many monsters outside Linzi City. As long as these monsters were driven away, it would only be more than a month before the beginning of spring, and Linzi City would be defended.
The monsters didn't know how to cooperate, so Hua Kai tried his best to kill the primary monsters. The defenders and many ordinary people in Linzi City saw Hua Kai fighting the monsters alone.
Hua Kai had a chance to sneak attack and kill the primary monsters, but he took out the [Five Elements Mountain] and used the power of absolute will to attack the opponent. The monsters chose to escape when they saw Hua Kai's strong strength. Hua Kai spent a lot of energy and true energy to drive away all the monsters.
Flying over Linzi City, many people watched him and all kinds of discussions appeared. Someone in the crowd introduced Hua Kai, and everyone knew that this was the former son of Qi, the current family saint, the master of Huaxia, and the pride of Qi people.
Under the gaze of everyone, Hua Kai came to the Jixia Academy. He saw a young master in Confucian clothes. The Hua family remembered that he had been a registered disciple of the teacher.
"Meet the Hua Saint, the King of Huaxia! The Zeng Shen Saint has been waiting in the academy for a long time." The Confucian master looked at Hua Kai and said politely.
"Lead the way!" Hua Kai is now a king and a person of status, with the same status as Zeng Shen, and he represents the entire Huaxia country wherever he goes.
Jixia Academy is still the same as it was seven years ago, except that the qualifications of the students nowadays are much lower than before. There are more and more children from noble families wearing silk and satin in the academy, and the number of people seems to be much larger than before.
When he arrived outside the teacher's palace, Hua Kai saw that every house and tree here had not changed since he left last time. Hua Kai knew that the teacher didn't care about these things, and his mind and experience were all used in academic research.
"Student greets the teacher!" Hua Kai saluted Zeng Shen outside the palace. He said this in accordance with the Confucian tradition of Ziqian.
"Come in!" Zeng Shen said lightly.
Hua Kai pushed open the door and walked along the familiar road to the teacher's study. Hua Kai saw that the teacher was writing slowly. His movements were fast, but every word he wrote was very simple, with a hint of perseverance in his righteousness.
He stopped writing and picked up the big characters he had written, motioning Hua Kai to come over: "How do you think I wrote this character?"
Hua Kai looked at the big "和" character written by the teacher, and guessed why the teacher invited him to Qi.
"The teacher's writing is powerful, and the characters are straight and upright, and there is a righteous spirit in them." Hua Kai replied.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you! How is the situation of the wild beasts in Huaxia this year? How many cities have been destroyed?" Zeng Shen said, putting down the brush and asking Hua Kai.
"Everything is fine in Huaxia City! No city has been destroyed. Linzi City seems to have a lot of battles this year, I don't know how much loss it has!" Hua Kai said.
"There are tens of thousands of students in Jixia Academy in Linzi City, and it is not so easy for wild beasts to attack. This year, Linzi City lost less than 10,000 civilians. The key is that the six countries and five counties affiliated with Qi State suffered heavy losses this year.
All cities in Pengcheng State, Jinan State, and Xiapi County were basically breached, and even the county city could not be defended. Although I went to support in time, more than half of the people in the three counties died." said the sage Zeng Shen.
Hua Kai did not expect that Qi State would suffer such heavy losses. Pengcheng, Jinan, and Xiapi counties were also considered to have a good population in Qi State. The three counties had at least 500,000 people. If the loss was too great, Qi State would have to spend energy on building the county cities. If the three counties were not stabilized and were finally completely occupied by wild beasts, the situation in Qi State would get worse and worse.
Sage Zeng Shen sent a word "peace" to Hua Kai, and his intention was obvious. He hoped that Hua Kai would not provoke a war. Now the most important thing in the world is to eliminate wild beasts. After the beginning of spring this year, all countries must clean up all areas in the country and then encourage the people to kill wild beasts as much as possible.
"All the countries in the Central Plains have had a hard time this year. 300,000 people in Handan were destroyed, but only 80,000 people were rescued. Nearly ten people in the Qin State died in the foundation-building stage. Many cities in Zhou State, Han State and other places were destroyed this year. I believe everyone has seen the importance of eliminating wild beasts.
But... Qin Zheng may be out of the pass soon. The King of Zhao and the King of Yan are missing. Some people may not want peace." Hua Kai said.
Sage Zeng Shen was silent for a while. As the strongest man in the world, Qin Zheng's heart to unify the world will not disappear. I don't know what will happen to Qin after he recovers from his injury. Seeing that Qin is about to lose control of the newly occupied territory, Qin Zheng's recovery from his injury has suddenly shifted the situation to Qin. This is what the strongest man in the world does.
"Even if Qin Zheng's injury is fully recovered, the most important thing for Qin is to restore its own strength. The reason is that the population has dropped sharply due to war, and the number of wild beasts is much more than before. Qin spends a lot of effort just to resist the attack of wild beasts every year.
If Qin forcibly launches a war again when a large number of cities have been breached this year, the people in the country will never want to see it. All countries in the world will also rise up to attack Qin, and peace will be the mainstream in the next five years." Zeng Shen Saint said.
The biggest difference between Hua Kai and Zeng Shen Saint is that Zeng Shen Saint considers problems from the perspective of cause and effect, emotion, and cycle, which makes him look far ahead. Hua Kai only wants to see everything he sees, and uses the information he knows now to analyze the possible impact on the future, which makes the results they get different.
"Teacher, Qin Zheng will never give up the pace of unification, even if it is a little slower. Qin State adopts a military merit system, and the people are more belligerent than ordinary people.
It's just that Qin Zheng may not dare to kill again in the battle with the Jindan realm. He can't clear all the monsters in the world by himself!" Hua Kai said.
After listening to this, Zeng Shen nodded. As a Confucian saint, his biggest problem was that he gave too little consideration to human nature!
