Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1661 Meeting
  After listening to Gai Nie's analysis, Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and frowned, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, Xiao Gao and the others suddenly lost contact, and it is very likely that they have something to do with this person..."

Wei Zhuang Gai Nie lowered his eyes and said nothing, probably supporting Xiaoyaozi's judgment.

At this time, the three people's eyes suddenly turned to the other side - a figure appeared in the three people's sight.

Han Xin walked over with two dark circles under his eyes and a look of sleepiness on his face. He was still carrying a small baggage and a horizontal sword.

He always gives people the feeling of a passerby passing by soy sauce, but he always appears in some key places where people cannot ignore him, which is very curious.

Just like now, the location of this cave is obviously very hidden. Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were able to find it because they contacted the people from the Tenglong Legion, but Han Xin found it inexplicably.

Not to mention the reactions of Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi, Wei Zhuang squinted his eyes and immediately recognized Han Xin's identity.

He was a little surprised to see Han Xin here.

Wei Zhuang originally thought that Gu Xun would not send additional people to Dongjun. After all, the situation was sensitive, but he did not expect that he would take the risk and make extra preparations.

However, his reaction seemed to be the same as that of Gai Nie Xiaoyaozi - doubtful, probing, and wary.

This was the first time for Gai Nie to meet Han Xin, but Xiaoyaozi had mentioned this strange intruder to him before.

Maybe it was because Han Xin's personal characteristics were too strong. Even though Gai Nie had never seen him before, he immediately thought of the weirdo of unknown origin mentioned by Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi was the only person present who had contact with Han Xin, so naturally he spoke first:

"Why are you here, Your Excellency?"

Han Xin's voice was still flat and decadent, and he simply replied, "Send a message, news that the three of you should be interested in."

Wei Zhuang glanced at him sideways and took over the topic in a cold voice, "Speak!"

Han Xin turned his head and glanced at Wei Zhuang, and gave him a smile that looked almost like crying, probably saying... hello?
  "Mr. Gao Jianli of the Mo family and Mr. Big Hammer were both invited to have a drink by the farmer's Hall Master Tian Hu."

"The farmer's wine seemed a bit strong, and both of them drank it."

"How do you know?" Xiaoyaozi asked with a frown.

"I like to collect as much information as possible. It's just a habit." Han Xin shrugged and replied calmly.

"Is this... another favor?" Xiaoyaozi asked again.

Han Xin showed a stiff smile, "Of course not, I just happened to come over, so I wanted to tell you by the way."

"What are you doing here?" Wei Zhuang asked.

"Visiting a friend." Han Xin shrugged again and replied matter-of-factly, "I heard that Zhong Limi escaped death. I came to see how he was doing."

Han Xin provided important information and came to visit a friend. Xiaoyaozi did not want to cross-examine too much. After looking at each other and Gai Niewizhuang, he led Han Xin towards the cave.

Not long after they entered, Xiaoyaozi came out with Long Qie.

When friends want to talk to each other, it's not good for them to stand around and watch.

It just so happened that they had to quickly discuss the rescue of Gao Jianli and Big Hammer. They had been delayed all night and could not let the situation worsen.

"I heard that it has been confirmed that Mr. Gao and the others are in danger?" Long Qie hurriedly talked about business as soon as he came out of the cave.

Gai Nie responded in a deep voice, "We still don't know the specific situation. We have to go to Chi You Hall to make a judgment."

Judging from the information given by Han Xin, Tian Hu must have chosen something wrong in his mind and chose to attack the Mo family.

But Gai Nie's words also showed that he and Gao Jianli had the same idea at the beginning. They did not want to take action at the beginning, but still wanted to handle the dispute as peacefully as possible.

"Hmph!" Wei Zhuang sneered and reminded lightly, "I'm afraid the people in Chi Youtang don't want to see you... and me right now."

"Even if they meet, given the current situation, it is impossible for you to persuade Tian Hu to change his mind."

"Strength is the most powerful word now!"

Wei Zhuang has always wanted to cut the knot quickly and use more efficient means to deal with the farmers.

Even now that he has discovered that the help they may receive from East County is considerable, he still prefers this simpler approach.

Although it may not bring the best results, at least it will not lead to the worst possibility... and it also saves worry, trouble and effort, which can be regarded as a guaranteed profit without losing money.

To be more specific, Wei Zhuang's idea is to kill, kill, kill!

Luo Wang wants one of his own to take the position of the hero?
  Then they would take action first and directly support an obedient puppet to take over.

Not sure if the new farmer Xia Kui will support the Qinglong Plan?
  Then support a superior who absolutely supports the Qinglong Plan!

It's so simple, convenient and effective. Isn't it much better than playing house with these idiots like the farmer?
  But if he says so, if he actually does it...no one will support him.

First of all, this is not in line with the Mohist style of doing things, and Wei Zhuang himself is just a mercenary hired with money.

Secondly, the steps are relatively simple, and the actual operation is not low.

In Guigu Zongheng's view, the strength of the top management of the farm family is indeed not worth mentioning. Even with the protection of many disciples, it is not difficult for them to take someone's life.

The real difficulty comes after killing someone.

The peasant family is one of the hundreds of families, and it is the largest gang in the world. You can't force them to surrender and become your puppets just by clearing out a few high-level officials.

Since Tian Meng's death and the conflict between the farmers and the family worsened sharply, the Sixth Hall began to frantically recall disciples.

Today, the Dazeshan generation has at least 50,000 farm disciples, and the average number in each class is almost over 10,000.

If Mo Ming, a senior member of the farm family, is assassinated and these tens of thousands of disciples go crazy, Guigu Zongheng will not be of any use!

Gai Nie responded directly, "This trip to Dongjun is to settle the disputes between farmers. Even if it is to save people, taking action is the last resort. If you can't do it, don't do it."

"Besides, in Daze Mountain, the farmers are the hosts and we are the guests. It is not easy to become the guests."

"The one hundred thousand disciples of the peasant family must be careful!"

"There is no leader, and a hundred thousand people are just a mob." Wei Zhuang curled his lips disdainfully.

Ten people without a leader are still ten people, but a hundred thousand people without a leader are worse than a hundred thousand pigs.

"Capturing the thief and capturing the king is the key to capturing Tian Hu. Many problems will no longer be a problem."

Gai Nie was not deceived by his junior brother, and retorted in a deep voice, "Originally it was just the Sixth Hall of the Farmer Family, but now the Mo Family has begun to be involved, plus the Shadow Secret Guards and the incoming imperial army."

"The chaos in the farmhouse is like a mess, getting more and more complicated... Maybe this is what some people want to see."

"What we want is to break the situation, not enter it!"

Even if there are 100,000 pigs, just a few of them can't solve it. Being too aggressive may be self-defeating.

Wei Zhuang frowned and replied, "This is already a dead end!"

When facing a dead end, you have to do some hard work!

However, Gai Nie still remained calm and asked meaningfully, "Who is this deadly situation carefully woven by the net?"

"Just the farmers? Or all the prey that steps into the net?"

The answer to the question is not difficult to think of. The snare never leaves anyone a way to survive and devours all living beings.

The general trend is now on the other side of the net, so... we can't be anxious yet.

It's not that Gai Nie disagrees with Wei Zhuang's idea at all, he just thinks it's unnecessary.

Wei Zhuang can clearly see how much extra help he has in Dongjun, and Ge Nie can actually see it almost the same. Because of this, he felt that there was still hope of breaking the situation and was unwilling to take drastic measures.

Wei Zhuang curled his lips and stopped arguing with Gai Nie.

………………

In the deepest part of the cave, everyone left, leaving space for friends Han Xin and Zhong Limei to chat alone.

Zhong Limei sat paralyzed against the mountain wall. When he saw Han Xin approaching, he showed a wry smile:
  "I don't feel weird seeing you now."

"It seems the injury made your brain work better."

"Stop mocking me now and tell me what's going on?" Zhong Limei sighed helplessly.

"If something happened to me and you didn't save me personally, why did you find a group of rebels to come?"

It hurts Zhong Limei to owe him a life-saving favor.

Long Qie had previously tried to persuade him to 'abandon darkness and embrace the light', but after a heated exchange of words between the two, neither could convince the other.

Long Qie felt that the empire did not regard the people as human beings now. If Zhong Limei really had a conscience, he should join them in resisting tyranny.

But Zhong Limei felt that Long Qie and the others were just using the name of righteousness to start another war and realize their daydream of restoring the country.

It should be said that both of their views are not wrong.

Nowadays, the empire is indeed becoming more cruel and tyrannical, and they are indeed rekindling the war.

Who is right and who is wrong...it can only be said that time will give the simplest answer.

Of course, Zhong Limei's attitude is very decisive and he doesn't care about the so-called right or wrong. He only sticks to himself.

It was this life-saving grace that made him lose a lot of confidence in speaking.

Han Xin spread his hands and replied calmly, "Now they are not rebels to you, but potential partners."

Zhongli frowned, "Are you kidding me? There's no way I can cooperate with the rebels... I will find another way to repay you for saving my life."

"Zhong Limei, you have to remember that in Dongjun and Daze Mountain, you and I have only one enemy - the snare!"

"Other than that, they are all our partners or potential partners." Han Xin responded calmly and firmly.

"Luo Wang... how could it be... why did they become our enemies?" Zhong Limei was completely confused and asked with a puzzled face, "I know that Luo Wang and the Imperial Master are not willing to deal with it, and I also know that Luo Wang seems to exist. Some questions, but why..."

According to Han Xin, the goal of the two of them coming to Dongjun was not the Yinghuo Stone, but to deal with the snare.

We are all considered colleagues after all, so why are we suddenly at odds with each other?

Han Xin replied briefly, "The crisis among the farmers in Dongjun was basically caused by Luo Wang, and their target was not the farmers, but the eldest son Fusu."

"Your Highness... Ugh!" Zhong Limei got excited, touched the wound again, and couldn't help but let out a suppressed cry of pain.

Seeing this, Han Xin joked, "Such a serious injury can't make you more stable."

"... Let's get down to business!" Zhong Limei muttered angrily.

"According to what you said, the net is targeting His Royal Highness, the eldest son. Doesn't that mean..."

"That's right." Han Xin nodded, "It's just what you think, it's to compete for that... supreme power."

"Zhong Limei, you should understand that there are many factions within the empire, and you and I have long been branded as the eldest son's faction."

Zhong Limei nodded calmly.

Of course he knew this and didn't resist it.

He is a decent man, but not pedantic.

People are always used to forming gangs, which is normal. He felt that there was nothing wrong with joining the eldest son's faction. After all, he was the most likely to inherit the throne.

He just needs to ensure that he is indeed loyal to the empire.

"So... Luo Wang and His Highness are hostile?"

"Of course, otherwise why would the Imperial Master be at odds with the CRRC Governor?" Han Xin replied with a shrug.

"But..." Zhong Limei asked hesitantly, "What should we do?"

"For the Stone of Fire, the farmers have openly attacked the imperial soldiers and regarded the imperial laws as nothing. They only wait for General Wang Li's army to arrive, and the entire Daze Mountain area will be wiped out."

"How...how can we stop the snare?"

"In this regard, there is no need to worry about your injury." Han Xin gave a stiff smile, "You just need to follow the development of the situation step by step."

"Ah... I hate being fooled." Zhong Limei rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Han Xin shrugged, "But you are worse than a fool now."

"Be patient, this situation in East County is very troublesome, we have to do it step by step."

"There is another important thing for you."

"What else? What's the matter?"

"I think that General Long Qie of Chu State should have tried to persuade...or recruit you, right?"

"That's right...what's wrong?" Zhong Limei asked.

"Perhaps...you can try to adjust your attitude and consider his invitation?"

Zhong Limei frowned, "What do you mean?"

Although Han Xin has no loyalty to the empire, he is a smart man, so he will never try to go against the wishes of the imperial master, let alone speak for the remnants of the Chu Kingdom.

and so……

Zhong Limei murmured in his heart.

………………

A moment and a half later, Han Xin walked out of the cave, with that calm expression on his face.

Wei Zhuang and the four of them were waiting outside the cave, as if waiting for him to come out.

In fact, I was just waiting for him to come out.

If Han Xin doesn't leave, they don't feel safe leaving here, even if they don't all leave.

Looking at the four people standing in a square shape like door gods, Han Xin smiled and said first, "I have another message for you."

"The Zhu family has taken the Yinghuo Stone to the Tomb of the Six Sages of Emperor Yan, preparing to accept the appointment of the six elders and become the new leader of heroes."

"Ha!" Wei Zhuang sneered and said jokingly, "It seems that we won't be able to see Master Tian Hu in Chi You Hall."

Gai Nie's eyes flashed, probably thinking about what to do next.

After saying this, Han Xin directly raised his hands and clasped his fists, saying goodbye, "I have something else to do, so I won't bother you."
