Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1591 Trip to East County
  "You should have heard the news about Shennong's reappearance." Wei Zhuang looked sideways at Master Ban and said slowly.

Master Ben quickly stroked his beard with his palm, frowned and nodded:

"know."

"The reappearance of the Shennong Order is also regarded by us as a destabilizing factor, but there is currently no further news."

Wei Zhuang withdrew his gaze, moved his fingers gently on the guardrail, and continued in a deep voice:
  "Ying Zheng has ordered that part of the Yinghuo Stone - the part with the inscriptions on it - be transported to Xianyang as quickly as possible."

"And this order encountered an unexpected resistance - the Shennong Order."

"'There are one hundred thousand disciples in the six halls of the farm, and the one who gets the fragment of the Yinghuo Stone first will be the successor as the leader of the heroes' - this is what appears in the Shennong Order of Dongjun."

"How come the Shennong Order is also involved with the Yinghuo Stone!?" Thief Zhi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but screamed.

"It seems that there is an invisible big hand pushing the development of the situation." Gai Nie calmly gave his opinion.

This situation is obviously not a coincidence, and someone must be causing trouble.

"Hiss..." Master Ben pinched his beard, gasped, and said with a troubled expression, "The primary problem now is not the person behind the scenes, but the situation of the farmers!"

"Can such an outrageous reward order be issued?" Big Hammer scratched his head and couldn't help but question.

Before, he didn't understand how the Nong family could issue the Shennong Order without the Xia Kui. Now the orders in the Shen Nong Order were even more ridiculous, and it was directly used to decide the Nong family's Xia Kui.

Is this legal?

Wei Zhuang sneered and said:

"Compliance... This is the first time I've heard someone associate the word farmhouse with rules."

The peasant family is the most chaotic group among the hundreds of scholars, with a hundred thousand disciples, farmers and merchants, a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

For farmers, you can’t say that rules don’t exist, but they do have a low sense of existence.

Unlike the Mohists, whose rules are clear and strictly enforced, the rules of the peasant family depend entirely on the attitude of the upper class.

In other words, in the absence of Xiakui, the rules are entirely up to the leader of the Sixth Hall.

Gai Nie shook his head and sighed:

"When the Shennong Order appears and is connected with the position of the Heroic Leader, the next move of the Nongjia Sixth Hall is already certain."

"Even if you are the leader of the Sixth Hall, you must go all out to fulfill the requirements of the Shennong Order, whether you are willing or unable to do so."

The Shennong Order is a token of the hero in the minds of the peasant disciples, and it has a very important symbolic meaning. In addition, the position of the hero has been vacant for many years, and the peasant disciples themselves are also eager for the emergence of a new hero.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is compliant or not, as long as someone completes the goals set out in the Shennong Order, he or she can naturally succeed him as the hero.

Even if the leader of the Sixth Hall can see that this is a sinkhole, can he resist the temptation of being the hero?

To put it another way, some smart people among them saw through the conspiracy and resisted the temptation, but they could only control themselves and could not ensure that other hall leaders could also resist.

So what if the position of hero falls to the enemy?
  Whether it's for ambition or self-preservation, in this game, they have to take the initiative to jump in, whether they want to or not.

"Tsk tsk..." Thief Zhi couldn't help but stroke his chin and smacked his lips when he heard this, "In such a sensitive period, the peasants still take the initiative to tease the empire's tiger beard... I'm afraid there will be a big fuss!"

"Old man, that's what I'm worried about!"

Master Ban answered with a grimace, "No, the trip to Dongjun is imminent. We really can't delay it for a moment. We must arrange for manpower to set off immediately to find a way to mediate the conflict between the six farmhouses and resolve this crisis."

Otherwise, before the Qinglong Project has even begun, I’m afraid the farmers will kill themselves first!

Of course, the generous Master Ben did not say this.

Hearing this, Wei Zhuang smiled.

Mediation?

Even if you conjure up Tian Guang on the spot and you can't reconcile the conflicts between the six farmhouses, why are you, the Mo family?
  Did your previous giant also disappear?
  Gai Nie remained silent. He could hear the sarcasm in his junior brother's smile, and... he thought so too.

The essence of the crisis comes from the power dispute within the farmer's family. This kind of conflict cannot be solved even by asking their biological father.

If we want to truly resolve this crisis, we must go beyond the farm structure and start from multiple parties and work together.

However, Gai Nie did not express his opinion - he generally did not talk much about the internal affairs of the Mo family.

The people in the Mo family probably knew why Wei Zhuang was laughing, but they all ignored it tacitly.

They are now able to basically react to only the valid information disclosed by Wei Zhuang, and directly ignore the invalid information.

Robber Zhi was the first to raise his hand and said:
  "Let me go, I'm faster!"

Gao Jianli directly rejected Taizhi's proposal, "Haste makes waste."

"Although this matter is urgent, there is no point in pursuing speed."

"The farmers' attitude towards us is now ambiguous. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve this matter peacefully. We must consider the worst-case scenario."

"Xiao Gao, what do you mean?" Master Ban asked.

"Hmm..." Gao Jianli pondered for a while before replying, "I'll go in person and bring a big hammer with me. Axue and Bandit Zhi will stay behind at Sanghai in case of any eventuality."

"I'll go too, I'm afraid it's just the two of you..." the snow girl suggested upon hearing this.

"No!" Gao Jianli objected, "Sanghai must leave a certain amount of strength, and only Taizhi can't do it."

This is the embarrassment of dividing troops. It can easily lead to two weak parties.

"The Xiang family may be able to provide some help in this matter."

At this time, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng also came to the stronghold and interjected.

Gao Jianli and others had already noticed their arrival. Only Master Ban was a little surprised. He cupped his hands in greeting and said:
  "General Xiang, and Mr. Fan, I didn't know you were coming, so you were far away from us."

"Master Ban, you're welcome." Xiang Liang returned the salute, and then continued the previous topic, "If it's a matter over there in Dongjun, we can also provide some assistance."

"What do you two mean?" Master Ban asked, stroking his beard.

Fan Zeng explained, "Long Qie has already led the remnants of the Tenglong Legion to the west, preparing to recruit the old Chu troops on the way to strengthen the team."

"Although the original destination is not Dongjun, if the Mo family needs it, we can inform him to change his route to Dongjun."

"Facing a force with a large number of people like the Farmers, I believe a regular army can provide you with a lot of help."

"This is really a big help!" Master Ban couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and thanked him repeatedly, "It's so troublesome for you!"

Xiang Liang smiled and replied, "Master Ban, you are too polite, so there is no need to say thank you."

"The Mo family and the Xiang family are both part of the anti-Qin alliance, so it is natural for them to help each other. Besides, the Mo family has also helped us a lot these days."

"I will inform Long Qie about this. He should go to Dongjun first to wait for your round with Commander Gao. The team will probably be later."

"Well... Thank you, General Xiang." Gao Jianli nodded and thanked, then looked at Master Ban and asked, "Mr. Renzong Xiaoyaozi, do we also want to inform him?"

"Of course!" Master Ben nodded, "I will tell him personally and see what he thinks." Within a few words, another visitor came to the stronghold.

"It seems that the rescue operation went well. Brother Tuozhi and Shopkeeper Ding have suffered."

"There are a lot of trivial matters in the village, so I hope you'll forgive me for being late."

Zhang Liang's clear and gentle voice rang in everyone's ears.

Thief Zhi was the first to respond. He playfully twirled the yellow hair on his forehead and said, "Zifang, you are my good friend, but I didn't see you immediately after I escaped. It's so boring!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang smiled and cupped his hands towards Robber Zhi, "Brother Robber Zhi said, Zifang apologizes here."

"Zifang is here just in time, I have to tell you about this matter." Master Ban waved eleven words to Zhang Liang at this time.

Zhang Liang turned his eyes and immediately guessed what Master Ban was going to say:
  "But... what happened to the farmers in Dong County?"

"Zifang, you are really good at predicting things, that's it." Probably because he was used to Zhang Liang's resourcefulness, Master Ban was not too surprised and nodded calmly and replied.

"You also know about the Shennong Order, Zifang, right?"

Zhang Lian nodded and replied, "I just received the news."

"The emergence of the Shennong Order is bound to rapidly aggravate the internal conflicts in the Sixth Hall of the Farmers, and at the same time allow them to directly provoke the empire."

"By then, the situation may be out of control."

"Yes, old man, I have a headache."

"Xiao Gao plans to take the big hammer to Dongjun to try to solve the matter. General Long Qie and his Tenglong Legion from the Xiang clan will also provide help."

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Master Ban asked.

"As for suggestions... I do have one." Zhang Liang pursed his lips and smiled, then turned his eyes to Gai Nie and Weizhuang, "In my opinion, if the farm matter is to be resolved smoothly, I am afraid that Zong and Heng will have to take action personally. "

Obviously, Zhang Liang also knew very well that with the Mo family's style of conduct, it would be difficult to truly break the situation in Dongjun.

In comparison, only the disciples of Guigu, who are the best at maneuvering, can find a breakthrough in the chaotic Dongjun chaos and successfully resolve the matter.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liusha does not want the farmer's family to completely collapse under the trap's calculations, and needs to destroy Zhao Gao's series of plans.

In this matter, due to the sensitive relationship between Fusu and the farmer, it was not convenient for Liusha to intervene directly.

And to be honest, Liusha's main focus is not on this aspect now. Gu Xun and even the support from Beidi have been reduced, and the farmers are even less bothered with this trivial matter.

Just take advantage of the Mo family.

Of course, the main person being used is not anyone from the Mohist family, but Gai Nie, who is relatively close to the Mohist family.

As for Wei Zhuang... he is now a mercenary. Zhang Liangzheng'er spent real money to hire him, so he should work as he should.

However, Zhang Liang's straightforward words seemed to look down on the Mohists, so he added two more sentences:
  "I believe everyone should understand that the affairs of the farmer's family are not simple, and there is a conspiracy behind it."

"Judging from the information I know so far, when you go to Daze Mountain in East County, you will face far more than just farmers, there will also be shadow guards, snares, and even the imperial army!"

"The empire has decided to launch troops against farmers!?"

Master Ban and others were shocked when they heard this.

If the situation has developed to this point, then the difficulties they will face in East County will be multiplied many times.

Zhang Liang shook his head, "At present, there is no conclusion yet."

"However, the Armor-Piercing Soldiers, one of the three ace armies of the empire, have already set off under the leadership of General Wang Lide and are heading towards Dongjun Yidai."

"I'm afraid the empire has this idea."

Originally, the farmer's family with one hundred thousand disciples was an eyesore to Ying Zheng, but now the Yinghuo Stone incident has occurred on their territory, coupled with the farmer's slogan that the general and prime minister Wang Houning have a lot of talent.

Any normal emperor would inevitably doubt the farmer's role in this matter.

For a domineering emperor like Ying Zheng, this was enough for him to sentence the peasant family to death.

There is no need to prove whether the peasant family really has any rebellious actions or thoughts. The imperial power is supreme, and if you are guilty, you are guilty.

"This... hiss, the trouble is even bigger!" The pain on Master Ban's face suddenly became more obvious.

Zhang Liang continued, "In such a chaotic and complicated situation, it would be difficult for Commander Gao and General Long Qie to cover everything."

"The goals of General Long Qie and the Tenglong Legion are too large and their identities are sensitive. They should not act too openly on the bright side. And Commander Gao must confront the peasants, expose himself, and get too involved in the situation."

"One cannot act frequently, and the other must take the initiative to enter the situation. It is easy for the mastermind behind the scenes to take the initiative and lead the way."

"In this case, there must be another force that stays away from the chaotic situation and carefully looks for opportunities to break the situation."

"As for this candidate, I think the only two Guigu disciples are Brother Wei Zhuang and Mr. Gai."

When Zhang Liang said this, everyone in the Mo family also looked at Gui Gu Zongheng and Gui Gu Zongheng.

Although there are many idealists in the Mohist school, when it comes to specific things, they are often the purest doers.

So they didn't care that Zhang Liang didn't believe in their abilities.

Everything is focused on completing the goal.

However, this also depends on the opinions of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

If the two of them are willing to take this trip for the Mo family, it is of course a good thing, but if they don't want to, the Mo family can't force them.

After all, he is not a member of the Mo family, and Wei Zhuang is a quicksand person.

Wei Zhuang didn't speak, just looked sideways at his senior brother.

There was no need for anyone from the Mo family to tell him that he would definitely go to Dongjun—this matter had been decided many days ago.

As for Gai Nie's attitude - Gai Nie is naturally obligated.

"Even if Zifang doesn't tell me, I still want to go to Dongjun in person."

He didn't think that the people of the Mo family alone could solve the crisis in the farmhouse, and he was prepared to go into battle personally from the beginning.

Gai Nie actually didn't like Nongjia Liutang, or he was biased.

Because the Sixth Hall of the Nongjia has been really bad these years, with constant internal fighting and a state of disunity.

But what Gai Nie hates is mainly the senior members of the farm family, including the leader of the Sixth Hall, and their behavior of fighting for power among themselves, and these have nothing to do with the ordinary disciples of the farm family.

Genie didn't like the peasant family, but he didn't want the peasant family to be destroyed by the empire.

After all, farmers can play a very important role in fighting against Qin or in maintaining people's livelihood.
