Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1660 The dispute continues
  Looking at the corpse on the ground, Gai Nie didn't even bother to go over to check and directly concluded:

"He's not a real zodiac."

Wei Zhuang looked at his senior brother and said flatly, "The strength shown in the two fights is completely different."

"The golden cicada escaped from its shell..." Gai Nie made his final judgment.

"He runs very fast." Wei Zhuang sneered and said sarcastically, "Let's see what conspiracy he plans to come up with next."

Since the person was lost, Gai Nie was too lazy to say anything. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Bai Tu, "Let's go. With him, we can go and join Xiao Gao and the others first."

………………

The next day, it was dawn.

After a relatively peaceful night, the dispute between farmers once again became the most lively event in Daze Mountain.

After a night of rest and planning, the Zhu family, who had escaped from the Yinghuo Stone, was about to begin the final step of his succession to the throne.

According to the rules of the farm, the disciples who have completed Shennong's order must go to the Six Xian Tomb of Emperor Yan, where the farm's holy land is handed over the task under the witness of the Xia Kui and the six elders who live in seclusion in the Six Xian Tomb.

If there are promised rewards for the tasks in the Shennong Order, they will be distributed at this time.

The Shennong Order this time has rewards - the rewards are very special.

Now that there is no Xia Kui in the farmhouse, all procedures must be handed over to the six elders. The Zhu family must go to the Six Sages Tomb of Emperor Yan in person to accept the testimony of the six elders before they can truly inherit the position of Xia Kui.

This is also the most dangerous part of the battle for the hero.

There are thousands of ways to snatch the Stone of Fire, including plunder, conspiracy, mantis stalking cicadas, etc... In this link, everyone will be plotted by others, but they can also plot against others.

But in the second half, the situation was completely different.

If the Zhu family wants to go to the Tomb of the Six Immortals of Emperor Yan, they must take a well-known path.

In other words, he must passively accept his opponent's conspiracy and take beatings throughout the process.

The danger is self-evident.

Of course, just because the farmhouse is the busiest now does not mean that other people in Daze Mountain are not taking action.

Farmers are not the only ones who are busy.

………………

Daze Mountain, a hiding place for villagers.

After a night's rest, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang came here with Bai Tu and met up with Xiaoyaozi and Long Qie.

As for Gao Jianli and Big Iron Hammer, there is still no specific information.

Long Qie's men went around Lieshan Hall to inquire about information, but only got the information that the two had left long ago.

After that, they continued to inquire, and after several twists and turns, they finally found out where Gao Jianli and his two brothers were going next - they went to Chi You Hall.

Finally, some specious situations were discovered in Chi Youtang. It was suspected that Tian Hu and others had a conflict with Gao Jianli and the others, but the specific situation could not be confirmed, and the specific whereabouts of Gao Jianli and the others could not be found.

Without a clear goal, Long Qie did not dare to act rashly, and finally Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang arrived.

This is obviously a good thing, at least they can allocate manpower to do it themselves.

But before this matter, it is more important to first interrogate Bai Tu, an imperial officer.

Moreover, Long Qie not only wanted to interrogate Bai Tu, but also planned to make Bai Tu reveal the secret dealings between him and Luo Wang in front of Zhong Limei.

First, he wanted to use this to show Zhong Limei the corruption and evil within the empire, so as to shake his loyalty to the empire.

Secondly, it was also to further ensure the accuracy of the intelligence. After all, Zhong Limei was also an imperial officer and knew the situation in the army better than they did, so it was easier to judge whether Bai Tu was lying.

As for whether Zhong Limei is willing to cooperate... Long Qie thinks it should be fine.

After all, Bai Tu was a pure imperial beetle, and he was also within the attack range of loyal ministers and good generals like Zhong Limei.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the seriously injured Zhong Limei recovered.

Fortunately, Zhong Limei, who was able to basically think about how to drink Meng Po soup yesterday, really recovered after a short night's rest, returned to the earth, and woke up.

It can only be said that the physical fitness of people who practice martial arts is somewhat special.

Gai Nie Weizhuang did not interfere in this interrogation.

The two of them stayed up all night with Bai Tu. They already knew everything they needed to know, and there was no need to join in the fun.

Long Qie dragged Bai Tu into the cave alone, his face covered with wounds from the sword that had just healed, and Bai Tu, who was shivering and frightened.

When they passed by the villagers, they almost didn't recognize that the man who was crouched and didn't dare to show his head was the imperial officer who wanted to kill them all before.

Under the curious and relieved eyes of everyone, Long Qie led Bai Tu into the deepest part of the cave.

At this moment, the little girl was helping Zhong Limei to do it.

Long Qie dragged Bai Tu forward and pushed him forward, making him stagger.

After Bai Tu rolled around on the ground twice, he huddled up and lay on the ground...or rather pouted on the ground. He continued to hold his head and tremble, and his teeth could not stop chattering.

Although he tried his best not to show his face, his clothes alone were enough for Zhong Limei to recognize him.

"Baitu?"

Zhong Limei's eyes quickly turned to Long Qie, "How did you catch... um, how did you catch him?"

Because the movement was a bit large and touched the injury, Zhong Limei even took a breath of air in the middle of the pain. The little girl next to him was so frightened that he quickly came over to help him, for fear that he would behave recklessly again.

Long Qie didn't answer Zhong Limei's question. He kicked Bai Tu's protruding butt and yelled:

"Tell him, why are you here? And all the things you did with Luo Wang, tell him clearly one by one!"

Bai Tu obviously has no loyalty and integrity at all, especially when he knows that it is impossible for the trap to save him.

He actually has a savior - General Wang Li.

He also has some connections with Wang Li, and if the other party is present, he may be willing to help him.

But it is a pity that Wang Libie said that he appeared in this cave, and no one else has gone to Daze Mountain yet.

Now, the only option for him is to confess and be lenient.

The only problem is...he doesn't really have anything to confess.

When Long Qie asked, Bai Tu immediately began to kneel and kowtow with a skillful posture, begging loudly for mercy:

"Sir, please spare your life, please spare your life!"

"I really don't know anything about the snare!"

"Luo Wang..." Zhong Limei frowned, and he probably understood what was going on - it was probably Luo Wang who helped this idiot rise to power.

However, there was no wave on his face, and he was waiting to see how the situation developed.

When Long Qie heard Bai Tu's plea for mercy, he snorted coldly and asked:

"You don't know? You don't know why Luowang's Tianzi killer wants to kill you and silence you?"    Tianzi killer... Zhong Limei's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that Luo Wang's plan to support Bai Tu's rise to power is not trivial, and he even dispatched the Tianzi killer.

By the way, in that case, the leak of the escort route is...

Zhong Limei, who guessed who betrayed the empire's interests, had a flash of annoyance in his eyes, but remained silent.

Bai Tu, who was questioned, raised his head and mumbled speechlessly, "I...this..."

When the words came to his lips, he was still a little hesitant.

He was truly afraid of Luo Wang, a killer organization buried deep in the shadows.

Even though he had confessed everything he needed to say to Ganie and the others in a panic last night, he still subconsciously wanted to escape at this moment.

"Say!" Seeing his submissive look, Long Qie glared at him and shouted again.

This murderous drink frightened Bai Tu so much that his whole body trembled. His fragile psychological defense immediately collapsed, and he poured out all the information he knew like beans:
  "Several adults, it's clear to me that I am really just a small character, and that big shot is like a snare. I really don't know anything about him."

"I just... just secretly helped Luo Wang convey some information in East County."

"They have been asking me...to tell people in the farmhouse secretly. I am under their coercion. I dare not resist the trap."

"Who?" Long Qie heard this and asked hurriedly, "Who did Luo Wang ask you to tip off to?"

"Yes...it's the master of Gonggong Hall." Bai Tu said the answer tremblingly, which also allowed Long Qie to truly confirm the specific identity of Luo Wang's insider at the farmhouse.

Tian Zhong!

"If there is anything else, tell me!" Long Qie, who had revealed the news, struck while the iron was hot and continued to press.

But Bai Tu really didn’t know much, and at this time he could only think of some options to deal with Long Qie:
  "And...and...and..."

………………

Outside the cave, Gai Nieweizhuang and Xiaoyaozi were communicating.

"So, it can now be confirmed that Tian Zhong, the leader of Gonggong Hall, is the entrance through which the net penetrates into the farmhouse."

After listening to Gai Nie's concise introduction to the content of Bai Tu's revelation, Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard thoughtfully and nodded.

"Yes, but it may not be entirely true." Gai Nie simply filled in the loopholes in Xiaoyaozi's words.

Tian Zhong can now confirm that it is a hole in the farmhouse, but no one has stipulated that there is only one hole in the farmhouse, and the suspicion of other people still cannot be completely ruled out.

Xiaoyaozi nodded, understanding what Gai Nie meant.

"Perhaps he can be used as an opportunity to resolve the dispute between farmers?" Xiaoyaozi glanced at Gai Nie Weizhuang and made a suggestion.

Xiaoyaozi believes that the existence of a clear traitor may serve as a warning and temporarily alleviate the intensified conflicts within the farm family.

Wei Zhuang sneered, probably not agreeing with this, "The key to solving the crisis of the farm family never lies within the farm family...or it does not lie purely within the farm family."

He changed his mind later because he realized that if this key opportunity lies with a double agent, then the other party can barely be regarded as a farmer.

At this time, Gai Nie reminded, "Don't forget that there is another key."

Xiaoyaozi frowned, "Mr. Gai is saying...Tian Meng?"

"Speaking of which, you two should have had close contact with Tian Meng's body. Did you find any clues?"

"He died on a very special sword." Wei Zhuang replied in a deep voice with a flash of deep thought in his eyes.

"The special sword...is it a steel sword?" Xiaoyaozi asked, stroking his beard.

Gai Nie nodded and answered in a somewhat strange way, "The fatal injury on Tian Meng's body should undoubtedly come from the sword Shulu."

This kind of non-pure direct answer was a bit awkward, but Xiaoyaozi didn't care. He automatically assigned the title of murderer to Shurou in his heart, and continued his analysis:

"With Tian Meng's strength, even if you two want to kill him, it may not be that easy. The murderer can kill him at close range with one sword. Considering his identity... he is very special!"

"It should be someone Tian Meng knows very well and trusts very much."

Even if a master of martial arts is not on alert, his body will automatically guard against threatening creatures around him.

With Tian Meng's strength, if he wanted to kill him with one blow, even if it was a surprise attack, he would have to be relaxed and at ease enough.

"Shu Luo is dressed like a Qin soldier, obviously not good enough to get close to Tian Meng." Gai Nie added.

"Hiding the sun, Quexie, and this newly emerged Attribute..." Wei Zhuang said pointedly, "As the first-class Tianzi of Luowang, all three of them have covered up their true appearance. "

"Killers cover up their appearance, either to avoid disaster, or... their faces have other value."

Low-level killers may need to pay attention to hiding their identities to avoid retaliation or being silenced, but the Luowang Tianzi killer obviously does not have this need.

The only possible reason why they hide their identity is the second reason.

"Although the golden cicada has escaped from his shell, he may have another identity in the farmhouse." Wei Zhuang calmly stated his inference.

"Well..." Xiaoyaozi lowered his eyebrows and said after thinking for a while, "Now that Tian Meng is dead, the conflicts within the farm family have been intensified to the greatest extent."

"If Zulu is indeed hidden inside the farmhouse, then his purpose should have been achieved, and he is still lurking in the farmhouse... Does he still have unfinished business?"

"The Stone of Fire!" Wei Zhuang squinted his eyes and raised a possibility.

This is also the only possibility he can think of at the moment.

The internal strife in the farmhouse has become chaotic, and the only thing left to decide is whose family the flower of the Yinghuo Stone will be.

It seems that the only thing worthy of Luo Sheng's continued planning is this extraterrestrial stone that stirs up the storm.

"If it's for the Yinghuo Stone...does he want to be a hero? Or does he want to support someone to become a hero?"

"Zhu family, or Tian Hu?" Xiaoyaozi asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Wei Zhuang reminded, "In fact, every hall master of the Sixth Hall of the Nongjia, or even everyone, has the potential to become the new hero leader."

There is no limit in the Shennong Order, as long as they are farm disciples.

The reason why the default is Zhu Jiatian fighting for the title of hero is just because the two of them are the strongest.

"Based on the intelligence, Situ Wanli of Siyue Hall and Tian Mi of Kuei Hall cannot be ruled out as having other motives." Xiaoyaozi Fuxu analyzed, "However, their strength is not enough to kill Tian Meng."

"Identity can be hidden, and so can strength." Wei Zhuang replied lightly, "Everything may be part of Luo Yu's plan, so Tian Zhong cannot rule out suspicion."

Judging from logic, since Bai Tu can know that he is providing information to Tian Zhong, then Tian Zhong cannot be a traitor.

The risk of him being exposed would be too great.

But we can’t rule out the possibility of others playing matryoshka thinking tricks with you.

"In this case, the farmer will have a master of concealment who may be in the light but is hidden in the dark."

"All farm disciples, including those who have met us, may be genus." Gai Nie made the final conclusion in a deep voice.

I have to say that at first glance, this kind of thing sounds quite scary.
