Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 179 The Tian Royal Family
Typically, pubs are not open in the morning.

Especially those taverns with a single business, their work and rest hours are mostly close to the kind of life of quietly hiding from the sun.

In the eyes of those who have endless yearning for the world, the word "Ranger" represents a forthright man who is willing to take revenge. Even if some scum occasionally mix in, they are all free people who can go wherever they want. .

However, in fact, it is precisely because there are so many people who have to bend their waists for three buckets of rice that the reputation of not bending their waists for three buckets of rice can be passed down through the ages.

Rangers also have to work hard during the day to pay for drinks at night.

Lu Wei had nothing to do with this kind of days of working silently somewhere during the day and being wild in taverns at night. But the night before leaving Songhai City, his figure appeared in an unknown and shabby tavern:
Under the light of the lights, the repaired wooden door has a quaint feeling of Jianghu. There are only eight tables in the tavern. There are large gaps between the tables and it is not crowded. However, when it is full of people, it becomes chaotic and awkward. There is no place for anyone to stand.

The hall master, who has been corrupted by the superior life, has not been to such a 'delicate and small' place for a long time. He usually prefers to enjoy and is more accustomed to the spacious area.

For example, Xiaoshengxian Village.

The reason why he unexpectedly found this shabby place crowded with about forty people was because Hall Master Lu accidentally saw an acquaintance while wandering around the Songhai Night Market, an acquaintance with a special meaning.

So follow it all the way here.

This acquaintance hangs out in the tavern and seems to be one of the two leaders of the rugged rangers in the tavern.

Tiandu!

A close confidant of Xia Kui Tian Guang, he once took over the work of Hall Master Lu in Handan Danquan and negotiated cooperation with Li Mu, who was still Lord Wu An at the time.

Later, when the farmers sent a large number of people to Zhao Tuntian, it was also the Tiandu who was in charge of all matters, big and small.

On the eve of the war, as the field troops withdrew, he left Zhao State with the large army, and the two never met again.

Before leaving, Tian Du handed over a letter from Tian Guang, which asked Lu Wei to continue to help Li Mu and secretly assassinate Zhao Xiangguo Guo Kai.

The hall master only carried out the first of these two orders, helping Li Mu join Gonggong Hall.However, the second item was actually completed based on the news from Zhao Di.

It’s just that the person who implemented it was not organized by him.

After the fall of Zhao, Guo Kai played an indispensable role in persuading King Zhao to depose Li Mu and give up resistance and choose to surrender. For his merits, he was named Shangqing by the King of Qin who came to Handan City in person.

Unfortunately, Guo Kai, who became Qin Shangqing, was surrounded by "mobs" on his way to Xianyang to take office while transporting his family's treasures and died in a "riot."
All the countless properties he had worked hard to accumulate throughout his life were snatched away by the mob, leaving nothing behind.

I don't know what kind of 'mob' could accurately block the road and kill him under the protection of two hundred Qin soldiers specially arranged by Luo Wang and more than a hundred Jianghu disciples recruited by Guo Kai himself.

Afterwards, the belated reinforcements of the Qin Army cleared away the refugees in a large area around the scene of the crime, but did not recover a penny of money.

To be able to launch such a public assassination on the land of Qin, well-informed people can easily think of the assassination of Qin envoy Gan Luo not long ago.
His thoughts turned back to reality. Lu Wei stood at the door and waved to Tian Du in the center of the crowd. When the latter noticed, he walked out of the tavern and waited in the dark alley.

Tian Du came out quickly, but he was not alone. Another ranger leader who had just hooked up with him in the tavern was also with him:
"Tian Zang, meet Hall Master Lu."

The unfamiliar leader took the initiative to clasp his fists and exchange names, saving Tian Du from introducing kung fu.

Tian Zang, Lu Wei has heard of this name.

After Zhou He faked his death, Tian Guang announced that this person would enter the Six Xian Tomb to "replace" Yutu's elder position among the six elders.

Judging from the reactions of Tian Hu and the Zhu family at that time, they had no objection to Xia Kui's decision, which shows that Tian Zang's strength is at least equal to that of Zhou He, and he is also very trusted by Tian Guang.

"It turns out to be Brother Tian Zang!"

Having a preliminary understanding of Tian Zang in his thoughts, Lu Wei cupped his fists and returned the greeting.

"Why did Hall Master Lu come to Songhai?"

After the exchange of greetings, before Lu Wei could ask a question, Tian Du preemptively asked the question with seriousness in his brows.

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Wei did not answer Tian Du. Instead, he raised his chin. With a burst of arrogance, he changed the subject of the question and returned it to the two Tians:
"Why are brothers Tian Zang and Tian Du in Songhai?"

The atmosphere in the alley immediately became abnormal.
According to the farmer's position, Lu Wei is the head of the Seven Star Pearl Grass Hall, while Tian Du is only the head of the Five Star Pearl Grass Hall, and Tian Zang is probably the same as him.

At best, they are at the level of the Pavilion Master of Lu Qiu Pavilion. Just like Xu Qiu, no matter how much he is trusted by Xia Kui Tian Guang, he is still not as noble as the Pavilion Master.

The two of them were not qualified to question Lu Wei, especially Lu Wei who had accepted Shennong's order.

"Hall Master Lu, this is Xia Kui's secret mission. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

After ten breaths of silence, Tian Zang responded.

He has a strong physique, and his bare arm muscles are three times as wide as Tado's arms.

When answering, Tian Zang raised his hand to block Tian Dou, who had a look of displeasure on his face. His eyes widened and he looked at Hall Master Lu without blinking.

They didn't like the hall master's condescending intentions.

Their status is indeed not as good as Lu Wei, but their surname is Tian!

"Which of the six halls do you belong to?"

With their hands behind their backs, the hall master continued to deliberately provoke the two of them.

"Chi Youtang is a subordinate of Hall Master Tian Hu."

Tian Du said in a cold voice that he had not had a good impression of Lu Wei from the beginning many years ago. The respect he had developed when they got along in the field was now shattered by the hall master's arrogant tone: "The hall master with a foreign surname is just a foreigner."
"It has nothing to do with Hall Master Lu."

After he finished speaking, he paused for three breaths and added this sentence.

If a crony named Tian is placed under the name of Tian Hu, who values ​​kinship relations the most, he will not be subject to additional interference.

"I see." Sensing that the emotions of the two people in front of him were about to change, Lu Wei nodded with half a smile: "Xia Kui sent you to contact the Tian clan and the royal family. If you didn't go to Linzi, why did you come to Songhai~"

"!" Tian Zang and Tian Du's pupils shrank violently at the same time, indicating that Lu Wei guessed correctly, and Tian Guang indeed had other plans.Confirming a certain guess in his mind, the master of the hall turned around, unwilling to talk to the Tians any more, and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Tian Zang and Tian both said in unison. They looked at each other, nodded and rushed towards the leaving figure together, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Xia Kui's secret order, where did you learn it from?"

Feeling the movement behind him, Hall Master Lu turned around calmly and casually waved two palms. The spring cold palms blessed by his deep inner strength struck out. Tian Douzang felt a burst of biting ice in front of him, and then his chest felt tight, and he was hit by the palm. Knocked to the ground
This is a deeper inner strength than the boss of Xia Kui.
"Although the rules in farmers' houses are not as complicated as those in Confucianism, there are no regulations that allow the following offenses to be recorded."

Approaching and looking down at the two people lying on the ground, shivering with cold, Lu Wei hummed:
"This time I spared your lives for the sake of the hero. Next time, even in front of the hero, my hall master will send you to confess to the ancestor Shennong!"

Liangtian is actually of no use. Killing or not killing both has pros and cons. Compared with the possibility of falling out with Tian Guang after killing him, it is better to just teach him a lesson for the time being.

As for saying that Ertian would report to Tian Guang if he found out about Tian Guang's plan, it didn't matter.

The Tian royal family sounds very famous, but in fact it is just a casual move by Tian Guang.

Tian Guang's foundation is the entire farm family, and Lu Wei's foundation is also the entire farm family. They have something in common, so they can inherit their status.

The foundation of the Tian royal family will never be a peasant family.

What's more, Tian Guangke still vividly remembers what the last Mohist tycoon did to the Mohist family after he recruited a member of the Yan Kingdom royal family.

However, this is a hidden danger after all. Lu Wei has worried about this several times, and he still said the same thing:

The royal nobles of the six kings used to think that they could use their reputation to play the role of allies, but now as their power expands, they are getting closer and closer to obstacles.

He can't personally be the executioner to clean up these old people after the army rises in the future. He needs to find someone else to deal with it at the critical moment.

The Qin State, the Yin Yang Family, can help the Hall Master in this regard~

------

On the battlefield of Jicheng, the bloodstains on the city wall changed color to a deep color and were covered with flies.

After several months of siege fighting, the morale of the Yan army was as high as a rainbow. Under the reward of Yan Wang Dan, which can be described as demolishing the palace, the soldiers were brave and fearless of death.

The Qin army achieved very few results, but its commander, Meng Wu, was not impatient at all.

The number of soldiers in Jicheng is limited, and the number of strong soldiers is far less than that of the Qin army camp.

Although the Yan Army's defense is strong now, as long as the losses increase day by day, when the number of defenders in the city decreases to a certain critical point, they will be overwhelmed and the casualties will increase rapidly.

The Qin army can fight in batches. Whether it is rest or fighting that day is determined by the Qin army. However, every soldier of the Yan army must tighten his nerves every day.

No matter how excellent the means of boosting morale is, it falls behind in the face of time.

The King of Qin was very patient with the Yan State, and Meng Wu did not worry about the rear urging him to fight, so he could gradually make progress.

"How long will it take for the new siege equipment to be delivered?"

Mengwu withdrew today's siege team, and after selecting tomorrow's main attack force on the map, he asked his deputy general.

"The public losers have developed a type of mechanical beast specially used for siege, but it is too heavy and it will take ten days to send it for debugging on the battlefield."

The deputy general walked to the left side of the military account and raised his hand to point out the current location of the siege machine beast on the map of the entire Yan Kingdom hanging there.

"Ten days?" Meng Wu closed his eyes and deduced in his mind what the results of these ten days would be, and then slowly opened his eyes: "The public loser's siege equipment will always bring surprises, but I remember that the intelligence showed that Ji Are there also some machine beasts hidden in the city?"

"Yes, there are three white tigers from the Mo family." The deputy general nodded: "One of them was severely injured by us on the battlefield in Zhao. The severe damage has been reported to the public losers. According to their calculations, [-]% of the white tiger will be disabled, so it can fight. There are at most two ends.”

"Since our attack on the city, our army has been prepared to deal with the two white tigers that may appear, but the Yan people are not stupid either. They still keep the white tiger mechanism beast as their trump card."

"When the public loser machine beast is delivered, they will have to play this trump card."

"Once the White Tiger Machine Beast is destroyed, our offensive will no longer have any worries, and we can give the Yan people a more violent blow!"

After listening to the deputy general's report, Meng Wu pondered the strategy and added a few more points to note: "The defense against Jicheng's mechanism beast cannot be calculated based on two heads. Maintain the defense against three complete white tigers. If the three white tigers are not completely destroyed, the defense will be enough." It cannot be taken down.”

"Send more scouts in the three directions of Dai, Liaodong and Qi to prevent these three countries from having ulterior motives."

"In addition, the Mo family has a mechanism beast called Suzaku, which can fly high in the sky. This cannot be ignored."

"We must not let Yan Dan escape from the air!"

"Yes, general, I will order you to go down now." The deputy general did not dare to be careless. It would be better if Yan Dan died during the attack. If he did escape, the King of Qin would be angry, and they, the leading generals, would have to pay a heavy price for it.
Outside the city, the Qin army was impeccable, but inside the city, Yan Dan concentrated on studying the Mo family's mechanism skills, and personally repaired the white tiger that was considered disabled by the public losers.

The appearance of this white tiger was horrific. Its metal body was deformed in many places, its head was nearly smashed, and three toes were missing from one paw.

The most fatal damage was the cracks on its waist caused by the huge boulder. In addition, after running wildly back to Jicheng from Zhao during the retreat, the cracks extended to the entire spine of the white tiger.

Now if there is any big movement, this white tiger may completely fall apart.

The class master commented before leaving: The cost of repairing this white tiger is almost enough to build a new one.

Yan Dan's talent in organ skills is pretty good, but he is definitely not as good as Master Ban. Even Master Ban would have a hard time mastering Bai Hu, and he would have no chance of mastering it.

However, Yan Dan had no illusions that he could completely repair the white tiger. He just wanted the white tiger to be able to move for a short time.

Whether it is an hour, half an hour, or even a stick of incense, as long as it can move, Jicheng's defense strength will be enhanced.

This city will eventually be betrayed, and the safety of countless city guards and people will be exchanged for the success of his fake death and the smooth progress of the Blue Dragon Project.
Since it has to be given up, then its giving up must be more valuable to be cost-effective!Now if we kill more Qin soldiers under the city, the Qin army's march south will be slowed down!

As for the heavy casualties that may cause the Qin State to retaliate against the innocent Yan people, then let's retaliate.
The more severe the revenge, the more the people will hate Qin and miss the Yan State that was not so good in the past.
In this way, even after the country is destroyed, his hope of restoring the country will be greater.
