The capital of Qi State is Linzi.

The wide streets are crowded with people, and products from all over the world are traded in the noisy markets.

Various scenes show the prosperity of Linzi city.

Although Qi State was severely damaged by the coalition of princes organized by Wei State eight years ago, Linzi, as its capital, is still so prosperous.

Just as tourists and merchants from all over Qi State and even the whole world were pouring into the world-famous Linzi City in front of them, the atmosphere in the palaces of Qi State in the city seemed so solemn.

Above the aisle, a guard named Qigong stood holding a halberd.

The blade of the halberd flashed with a killing chill, and the eyes were filled with a warning light. These elites in the Qi army did not dare to slack off at all.

Outside the main hall, the Qi courtiers were waiting silently.

The figure showed nervousness, the face showed worry, and everyone's eyes were looking at the closed palace door in front of them from time to time.

At this moment, the reason why the Qi Palace is so heavily guarded is because of one person, a person who has been in charge of the Qi Palace for nearly twenty years.

This person is none other than Qi Gong Tian Wu.

"Cough cough cough..."

Severe coughs kept ringing in the hall, and Qi Gong Tian Wu's originally strong body had now become extremely thin.

When the doctor in charge of diagnosis and treatment slowly released his right hand that was like a dry branch, a young man standing silently next to Tian Wu immediately looked at him with worry on his face.

"Sir, father-in-law, he..."

The doctor looked at the young man, then at Qi Huan Gong Tian Wu, who was lying on the couch, and shook his head helplessly.

"If this disease is treated early, there is still a glimmer of hope. Now that the disease has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, it may be difficult to cure it with medicine or stone."

"well……"

After this long sigh full of helplessness, the doctor left the hall with slow steps.

He waited until the doctor's figure disappeared before slowly retracting his gaze. The young man closed his eyes slightly, and his slightly thin eyelids were trembling rapidly at this moment.

"Yinqi, Yinqi, Yinqi..."

This call from Tian Wu interrupted the excitement in the young man's heart.

He came to his father-in-law's side almost without hesitation, and gently held the dead branch in his palm with his big, vibrant hands.

"Father, Yin Qi is here."

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

Looking at his son standing in front of him at this moment, perhaps knowing that he didn't have much time left, Tian Wu, who was usually stern in front of his son, showed a smile at this moment.

"Is the father-in-law leaving?"

"No, father-in-law."

Almost at the moment when the words fell, the tears that had been accumulated in his eyes immediately burst out.

Looking at his son who was crying beside him and almost burst into tears, the smile on Tian Wu's face became more kind.

Another right hand that was also like a dead branch gently touched his son. Tian Wu said with a bit of regret in his words: "No one should be blamed for all this. If you want to blame it, just blame the father-in-law."

.”

"If my father-in-law hadn't listened to the advice of the miracle doctor Bian Que, I probably wouldn't be in this situation today."

This emotion seemed to touch a certain chord in Tian Wu's heart, and the past memories appeared in front of him like a tide.

In this Warring States Period, a time of internal turmoil and fighting between nations, countless amazing people emerged and many wonderful stories happened.

As the third monarch of Tian Qi, Tian Wu's life can be said to be full of ups and downs and exciting.

Tian Wu's father, Tian He, was the ninth grandson of Chen Wan, the young master who fled from Chen State to Qi State.

Through the efforts of the previous four generations and nearly a hundred years, the Tian family finally reached the final step of taking control of the Qi court.

In 391 BC, Tian He exiled Qi Kang Gong Jiang Dai to an island in the East China Sea; five years later, in 386 BC, Tian He was canonized as a prince by King Zhou An, and Tian Qi officially replaced Jiang Qi.

After completing Tian's mission of replacing Qi, Tian He passed away after only three years in power, and the position of Qi Jun was inherited by his eldest son Tian Yan.

As Tian Yan's younger brother, Tian Wu originally had no chance to ascend to the throne of Qi Jun when Tian Yan himself had heirs.

However, his desire for the throne still made him take action. He first killed his brother in 375 BC, and then killed his brother's son Tian Xi in the same year.

At this point, Tian Wu, who had worked hard to plan everything, was finally able to inherit the throne and become the monarch of Qi, a great country in the world.

Tian Wu has been in office for nearly twenty years. If he could use four words to evaluate his foreign wars, it would be repeated defeats.

In 373 BC, which was the third year after Tian Wu succeeded to the throne, Lu and Wei jointly attacked Qi.

In this battle, the State of Lu invaded Yangguan of Qi State, and the State of Wei captured Boling. Seeing this, the State of Yan in the north also raised troops to go south, and defeated the Qi army at Linhu.

In 372 BC, Wei State, a country whose strength was far inferior to that of Qi State, also sent troops to attack Qi State. In this battle, Qi State lost Xue Ling.

In 370 BC, the State of Zhao sent troops to attack the State of Qi. In this battle, the Zhao army captured the city of Zhen of Qi State.

In just a few years, Qi's prestige was declining due to repeated defeats. And the loss to Wei, the protector of Wei, made the world full of doubts about the combat power of the Qi army.

Later, if it weren't for the civil strife that broke out in the Yue Kingdom and Qi State taking the opportunity to seize a large area of ​​land, people in the world would probably despise Qi State even more.

However, this was not the end of Qi's defeat. The most devastating defeat for Qi was the war eight years ago.

At first, Qi had the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the situation, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that Wei and Qin were competing in Hexi and had no time to look eastward to capture more cities in Wei.

What Qi's monarchs and ministers did not expect was that Wei was able to organize a coalition of princes while launching an offensive against Qin.

Under the multi-pronged attack of the coalition forces, Qi Gong Tian Wu had to recognize the reality and ceded a large area of ​​land to the coalition countries in order to obtain a truce.

The failure of this battle not only severely damaged the national power of Qi, but also was a thorn in the hearts of all Qi people including Tian Wu.

Of course, after nearly two decades in office, Tian Wu was not without merit.

Under his order, Jixia Academy was established.

Although the Wei State attaches great importance to talents, the momentum of Jixia Academy is destined to be unable to compare with that of another time and space, but there are still a number of outstanding talents in it.

Recalling his past forty years, which included both successes and failures, there was a trace of bitterness on Tian Wu's face on the bed.

The next moment, his eyes slowly looked at the son in front of him again, his eyes full of regret and expectation.

"Yin Qi, my father-in-law may not be able to survive. The important task of wiping away the national humiliation and prospering Qi can only be left to you."

Having said this, Tian Wu's hand subconsciously tightened a little, "If you complete the great cause of Guangdong Qi in the future, don't forget to tell your father-in-law."

"Don't forget!"
