Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1617 Become a hero
  "Do you think he will show up this time?"

On the water bank, Sheng Qi stared down at the little fat man, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

"Yes." Zhu Jia nodded.

"What... is he here for?" Sheng Qi's eager tone was unknowingly mixed with a hint of hesitation.

He hopes to see his brother again, but he is afraid of seeing him...or that he is afraid of the other person taking the initiative to appear in front of him.

The Zhu family seemed to have guessed Sheng Qi’s inner conflicting thoughts. A hint of understanding flashed in his big round eyes, and then he replied:
  "I think that after anyone has experienced those tragic events, there will only be one thing left in their heart..."

"revenge!"

When Zhu Jia said these two words, the mask also switched to the red "anger", his tone was exciting and fiery, and at the same time, he clenched his hands into fists.

"revenge……"

After hearing these two words, Shengqi's pupils suddenly dilated, and he muttered again in a daze, looking very dazed.

His brother wants revenge, and Shengqi understands it very well, because for him, besides finding his brother, the most obsessed thing in his heart is to find someone to take revenge.

But the real reason why Shengqi reacted so strongly was that he didn't know who his brother wanted to take revenge on.

Is it the farmer, the woman, or... is it him?
  At this time, the Zhu family switched back to the 'Sorrow' side and asked meaningfully, "Have you ever thought about the fact that you haven't heard from him for so many years, and there is another possibility..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

There was no need for the Zhu family to tell what this other possibility was. Shengqi himself categorically denied it.

Needless to say, he also knows what the other possibility is - a person is looking for another person but there is no news. There are only two possibilities. Either the other person is in a special situation and it is really difficult to get any news out, or the other person is deliberately hiding it. His whereabouts are hiding from those who are looking for him.

For Shengqi, if it is the latter possibility, it means that the truth of all the chaos in the past may be the last thing he wants to see.

If this is the case, it means that all his years of hard support and hard pursuit have turned into a joke.

The Zhu family also knew what Sheng Qi was thinking, and sighed sadly, but still had to say:
  "But judging from what I know now, it is very likely that he was not imprisoned in the net, but became a murder weapon in the net like you."

"Even... deeper than my brother!"

"I don't believe it!" Sheng Qi responded in a muffled voice, clenching his hands unconsciously, and the metal wine bottle squeaked as he squeezed it.

Zhu Jia turned his head to look at the water, shook his head helplessly and said, "I know this is hard to believe, and I don't want it to be true, but you must be mentally prepared."

"Hate is enough to completely change a person!"

After Shengqi hesitated again and again, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Who does he want to take revenge on?"

The Zhu family spread their hands and replied in a dilemma, "Who can say for sure?"

"Maybe it's you, maybe it's me, or maybe it's the whole farm family."

When Sheng Qi heard this answer, his eyes swept across the wide lake without a trace, his hand still clenched the wine bottle unconsciously, and after a long while he asked quietly:
  "Why did Luo Wang suddenly attack the farmer?"

"When a hunter targets his prey, do you think he needs a reason?" Zhu Jia switched to his 'angry' side and replied seriously.

Then he continued, "The Mohists, Confucians, farmers... are all prey in this big net. In the final analysis, the current empire can no longer accommodate us. As the net of the empire's sharp blade, nothing is unusual."

"It's just that judging from the series of things that happened in Xianyang in the past few days, the farmer's house...may have just become an excuse to use the trap to deal with others!"

"I don't know how big Luo Sheng's appetite is." Upon hearing this, Shengqi guessed that it was probably involved in the power struggle within the empire. He was not interested in these, so he asked instead:
  "You came to me to deal with him?"

"Of course not." The Zhu family switched to the 'happy' side, looking naive, and replied with a smile, "I know what he means to you."

"I'm looking for you just because I want you to help me."

"help you with what?"

"Hehe... help me become a hero!" Zhu Jia pinched his beard and replied with a smile.

As the leader of the Shennong Hall, the first hall of the farm today, the Zhu family looks very harmless and even cute because of their short and round figure.

It is precisely because of such a deceptive appearance that the Zhu family is very popular in the world, and this is why they have been able to grow Shennongtang to the point where it ranks first among the six farmhouses.

However, his ambition is never smaller than anyone else, which is completely contrary to his appearance.

This is also the reason why although Shengqi owes him a life-saving favor, their relationship with him is far from being a close friend.

For Shengqi, the scandal that year was a conspiracy against him, and the most likely person to be the mastermind of that conspiracy was the dead leader of Lieshan Hall, Tian Meng.

But...the suspicion of the Zhu family, the leader of Shennong Hall, is not small.

After all, he was the leader of the Feitian faction of the farm family back then. If nothing happened to him, the Zhu family would never be able to succeed in their lifetime!

………………

Lieshan Hall, Tian Meng mourning hall.

Facing the two elders who asked him for advice on how to place the general, Tian Yan didn't say anything after all. He just looked at Tian Meng's coffin quietly.

Judging from what she meant...she seemed to have no idea at all, she just wanted to guard Tian Meng's funeral and bury him first.

The deceased was the most important person, so it should be said that it was reasonable and reasonable for her to take care of Tian Meng's affairs first, and no one could find fault with her.

But the problem is that today's farmers don't have so much time to wait for her to handle Tian Meng's funeral.

As soon as Shennong's order was issued and Tian Meng died, the battle for the hero among the peasants quickly intensified from the initial stage to the level of the finals. Perhaps the final result can be decided in just a few days.

When Tian Meng comes to the ground, the new hero Kui will probably be selected!

Under such circumstances, how could Tian Hu have the time to wait for Tian Yan to slowly torment him? He must immediately get the full support of Tian Yan and Lieshan Hall!
  "Ayan, you have to help me!" Tian Hu patted his chest and said to his eldest niece emotionally.

Tian Yan's mood still seemed to have no fluctuation, and he asked calmly:
  "What do you need from me?"

"Help me become the hero!" Tian Hu immediately answered.

"Huh..." Tian Yan sighed, shook his head slightly and said, "Tian Yan is just a little girl and never asks about the affairs in the hall."

"Besides, I am still in mourning..."

Tian Hu didn't wait for Tian Yan to finish talking, and interrupted her angrily with his hand, then pointed at her and shouted:
  "shut up!"

"Ayan, don't forget your identity!"
