Seeing the Zhu family's shoulders shaking slightly, an imperceptible glint flashed in Situ Wanli's eyes.
"Brother Zhu, did something happen?" Situ Wanli asked pretending to be worried.
"Brother Situ, let's go back quickly, there may be something wrong with our plan!" the Zhu family said anxiously.
Situ Wanli didn't say much, and followed the Zhu family's footsteps back the way they came. When the two returned to the canyon, they saw a large number of headless corpses. Looking at the corpses on the ground, the Zhu family's eyes were filled with blood. , the makeup on his face is constantly changing. Situ Wanli's face also became extremely ugly.
"How could our plan be exposed? Where is Xia Kui?" Situ Wanli asked with an ugly face.
The Zhu family did not answer, but said gloomily
"Brother Situ, we must leave Wei immediately. The exposure of the plan means that the Qin army has already targeted our farm. If we stay for one more day, the chance of being exposed will increase!"
"But Xiakui." Situ Wanli didn't finish his words.
"Xia Kui has deep cultivation and strong strength. This is where Xia Kui discovered him. Xia Kui should have a way out." The Zhu family said.
Situ Wanli thought for a while and then left with the Zhu family. On the way, both the Zhu family and Situ Wanli looked unhappy. On the way down the mountain, the trees on the roadside shook slightly.
"Who!?" The Zhu family and Situ Wanli immediately became alert.
Then a bloody hand stretched out from the grass, and a farmer's disciple covered in blood crawled out of the grass. When he saw the Zhu family and Situ Wanli, tears immediately flowed from his eyes.
"Hall Master! Hall Master Situ!" The peasant disciple shouted hoarsely.
Situ Wanli and the Zhu family immediately stepped forward to help the peasant disciple. Both the Zhu family and Situ Wanli had the impression that this disciple was Chen Qi, the core disciple of Shennong Hall.
"Chen Qi, why do you look like this?" the Zhu family asked hurriedly.
"Hall Master, we were ambushed by the Qin army. Basically all three thousand disciples and the hero were killed by the Qin army's arrows." Chen Qi said with heavy breaths.
"What!? Xia Kui is dead!?" Zhu Jia and Situ Wanli immediately asked in shock.
"I saw with my own eyes that Master Xia Kui died under the rain of arrows from the Qin army! Dozens of feather arrows penetrated Master Xia Kui! Before he died, Master Xia Kui said" When he said this, Chen Qi realized Looking at the Zhu family and Situ Wanli in front of them, they immediately shut up.
"What did Xia Kui say?" Zhu Jia asked quickly.
Situ Wanli looked at Chen Qi's appearance, then at the anxious Zhu family, and then asked
"Chen Qi, all the disciples died under the Qin army's arrows, how did you survive?"
After hearing Situ Wanli's words, the Zhu family thought of the headless corpses scattered all over the canyon, and immediately looked at Chen Qi in front of them with cold eyes.
"Replying to Hall Master Situ, under the rain of arrows from the Qin army, a dozen of my disciples and I survived by hiding in some blind spots by luck. Later, when the Qin army evacuated with the body of Lord Xia Kui and our survivors, Because of the narrow road, I lost my footing and fell down the mountain. Fortunately, I caught a piece of vine and survived. Qin Jun saw me falling down the mountain and thought I was destined to fall to death, so he didn't send anyone to search. I survived. Come down." Chen Qi explained.
"Brother Situ, Chen Qi is my core disciple of Shennong Hall, there is no need to doubt him." Zhu Jia shook his head and said.
"I'm not doubting Brother Chen Qi, I just find it a bit unbelievable. Qin Jun is more obsessed with prisoners and heads than I am with gambling tables. I really didn't expect Brother Chen to survive like this. I was rude just now, Brother Chen!" Situ Wan Li apologized to Chen Qi.
"It's okay, Hall Master Situ." Chen Qi said.
"Chen Qi, what did Xia Kui say before he died? You must tell me the truth!" Zhu asked impatiently. He had to pay attention to what Tian Guang said before he died. The Xiakui of the peasant family are all recommended by the previous generation of Xiaqi, and must be approved by more than half of the current six hall leaders. If Tian Guang dies like this, the farm family will definitely be in chaos, and the whereabouts of Xia Kui's token, the Shennong Order, are still unknown.
Chen Qi looked at Situ Wanli and the Zhu family, a little hesitation flashed in his eyes and finally said it.
"Before Xia Kui died, he shouted loudly that it was the Hall Master and Hall Master Situ who killed him."
After hearing Chen Qi's words, Situ Wanli and Zhu Jia's pupils suddenly shrank. Their eyes were filled with caution. Zhu Jia asked.
"Chen Qi, are you sure this is what you said?"
"I'm sure I heard it correctly. All the surviving disciples heard this sentence. At that time, everyone in the whole valley heard it when Xia Kui had used up his internal strength!" Chen Qi said confidently.
The Zhu family's expressions were uncertain, and the colorful makeup on their faces kept changing without stopping for a moment. Situ Wanli looked at the Zhu family whose expression was difficult to distinguish, and immediately used his inner strength to slap Chen Qi on the head. Chen Qi looked at Situ Wanli in disbelief, and finally closed his eyes and lost his breath.
"Brother Situ, what are you doing!?" The Zhu family stood up and looked at Situ Wanli cautiously and asked.
"Brother Zhu, don't be nervous. I did this for the sake of both of us. Although I don't know the reason why Xia Kui said this before he died. But if this sentence is spread back to the farmer's family, what will happen to you and me? It goes without saying." Situ Wanli said while looking at the Zhu family.
After hearing what Situ Wanli said, the Zhu family also put on a blue mask of sadness. There was nothing wrong with what Situ Wanli said. If these words were spread back to the farmer's family, the two of them would face Tian Meng. The Tian clan led by Tian Hu launched a complete attack, and because of these words, the two of them may be labeled as traitors. Then the disciples may not listen to them anymore. By then, the two of them will really die. Burial place.
Seeing the Zhu family hesitate, Situ Wanli continued:
"Brother Zhu is not unaware of the current situation in the farmhouse. Only the two of you and I can resist Tian's attack. Tian Meng's goal has always been to be the leader of heroes, but the Shennong Hall, the largest and the richest among the six halls, The Siyue Hall is in the hands of the two of us, so Tian Meng has long wanted to get rid of us, so the news of Xiakui’s death must not be spread back!”
"Brother Situ, what do you mean!?" The Zhu family looked at Situ Wanli in surprise.
"That's right, if we want to survive, we must hide the news of Xiakui's death and not tell anyone. At least we can't tell it before the new leaders of Kuei Hall and Gonggong Hall are elected, and we must think Find a way to find the Shennong Order. The two prerequisites for becoming a hero are the recommendation of the previous generation of heroes or the holder of the Shennong Order. Brother Zhu, do you understand what I mean?" Situ Wanli said, stroking his beard.
The Zhu family saw that the facial makeup on Situ Wanli's face changed again. Situ Wanli's words were very clear. He wanted to overthrow the entire farm family with him. Although the Zhu family was shocked by Situ Wanli's idea, this was indeed their only way to save their lives now.
"It's very risky to do this," Zhu said gloomily.
"This is not difficult to do. The surviving disciples were all captured by the Qin army. These people will either be killed or sent to build tombs. It will be difficult for them to come back alive. If Brother Zhu is still not worried, we can move The means will shut them up forever." Situ Wanli said.
The Zhu family looked at Situ Wanli without saying anything. As one of the five major sects among hundreds of families, the Nong family would not have been able to develop to such a large scale if they had not had any relationship with the courts of various countries. The farmer's Qianlong Hall helps the farmer win over the world's powerful officials, among whom the powerful officials of the Qin State are naturally indispensable. If they want, there will be someone in the Qin State who can sell this face.
"As for the Shennong Order, if my guess is correct, it should be on the body of Xia Kui now. I know two captains in the Qin Army this time, and I can ask them to take a look." Situ Wanli said .
"Brother Situ, are you serious about what you said!?" The Zhu family looked at Situ Wanli with some excitement. Tian Meng is not the only one who is keeping an eye on the position of the hero. The Zhu family also wants to become the hero of the farm family. As long as there is the Shennong Order, when the new masters of Kuei Hall and Gonggong Hall come out, as long as one of the hall masters has a foreign surname, relying on the Shennong Order, even if he is not a Tian surname, he can be regarded as a hero.
"Of course it's true." Situ Wanli said.
"Okay. But..." The Zhu family looked at Situ Wanli who was thinking about what to say next.
"Brother Zhu, I know what you want to say. What I, Situ Wanli, like is the gambling table. For me, gambling is the most important thing in life. I am not interested in these powers. I just hope that I can feel at ease from now on. Stay at Siyue Casino and live a comfortable life, and you don't have to worry about being plotted by others anymore." Situ Wanli said with a smile.
The Zhu family was a little embarrassed when they saw Situ Wanli confirming their thoughts, but after hearing Situ Wanli's words, the Zhu family's eyes rose with anticipation.
Seeing the desire for power in the Zhu family's eyes, Situ Wanli knew that his mission was accomplished. Then the two buried Chen Qi's body and left the mountain.
At this time, Wei Guo was in the court.
Wei Wangzeng looked at Lian Po kneeling below, his eyes filled with anger.
"Mr. Despite any decree or order urging the attack, Lian Po was still defeated, and Wei was no longer able to resist.
Lian Po lowered his head and said nothing. It was true that he was defeated, and he was not disturbed by any factors other than the battlefield, so he was convinced of his defeat. Seeing Lian Po's attitude of letting his king punish him, King Zeng of Wei became even more angry.
"Someone will push Lian Po out and kill him!" Wei Wangzeng roared angrily.
In normal times, Wei Wangzeng would never dare to kill Lian Po, but Lian Po took the initiative to ask for help. He was paying homage to Lian Po, and now Lian Po was defeated. In addition to the military order signed by Lian Po before, no one in the world would be able to kill Lian Po if he killed him. There is something to be said.
"Father, no! Now the Qin army is approaching Daliang City. If Lord Xinping is killed now, who can lead people to defend Daliang!" The young master pretended to stand up and plead for Lian Po.
"Hmph~" A minister snorted coldly and said, "Now the two armies of the Qin army are attacking together. In the south is the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Ben, and in the north are Feng Quji and Dun's weak 60,000-strong army. According to military reports, now Feng Quji is attacking Ji has captured Huangchi, and Wang Ben is approaching Lianggou. The head of the Jing family of Chu has led his troops back to Chu. How can we defend the remaining troops! If we follow the old minister's original deployment, we can hold back the Qin army until Dianke and Dianke arrive. After the Qin State negotiated peace, the most they could do was cede territory, but now the entire Wei State is under the sword of the Qin army, can they still let go?"
This man who claimed to be an old minister was a former general of Wei State. Since Lian Po entered Wei, he had replaced him twice, so he had already had opinions on Lian Po.
Hearing these words, the whole court became lively, and some people who supported surrender and peace negotiations came forward to support severe punishment of Lian Po and Qin's peace negotiations. Although severely punishing Lian Po was not directly related to Qin's peace talks, although Lian Po was very careful when he was a general, he still offended many people because of his pride. These people did not want to miss this opportunity to severely punish Lian Po.
Seeing the surrender faction and the peace faction standing up, the war faction immediately stood up to intercede for Lian Po and refuted the views of those who surrendered and advocated peace. For a while, the entire Wei court was in a commotion. The fierce quarrel made Wei Wangzeng upset. Just when he was about to order these people to shut up, the waiter outside the door suddenly shouted
"The envoy of the State of Yan, Ju Wu, please see me!"
Everyone stopped when they heard the waiter's words, their eyes filled with confusion. Wei Wangzeng also looked at the waiter outside the door in confusion. He didn't understand why the Yan envoy came to Wei at this time. Ju Wu was known to King Zeng of Wei, and Ju Wu was also a world-famous wise man, known as the wise man of Yan.
In the Qin army's camp, Zi You was playing with the Shennong Order in his hand. Wang Ben was writing a military report on the side. Wang Ben's face was still pale, but it was a little more bloody than before. He relied on his thoughts these days. Wang Ben's illness has improved a lot with the sir's medicine.
Li Xin was talking to the side about the encirclement and suppression of the farmers.
"It's really sad that a generation of peasant heroes died so mysteriously," Ziyou said with emotion.
"By the way, sir, when are the captured Wei soldiers going to take a look?" Li Xin reminded.
Hearing Li Xin talk about Wei Wuzu, Ziyou suddenly remembered the ceremony. In the past few days, he had only been focusing on dealing with Xiaoyaozi and Tian Guang's affairs, and he actually forgot about the ceremony.
"How are they doing? No one came to rob the camp, right?" Ziyou asked.
"Following your instructions, I just kept them under guard. As for robbing the camp, I don't think anyone has dared to come to the Qin Army camp to rob people!" Li Xin said helplessly. He really thought about who would come to the Qin Army camp. Do you really think that his army of hundreds of thousands of people are dead when they rob people in the camp?
"That's good." Ziyou said.
After Ziyou gave Li Xin a few instructions, Li Xin looked at Ziyou with confusion.
"You will understand then." Ziyou said with a smile.
"promise!"
Li Xin went down to arrange Ziyou's affairs without thinking too much.
At the same time, Feng Quji and Dunruo, who were attacking Huangchi, suddenly received a message, which made the two stunned and fell into deep thought.
