Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 77
The numbness in his body continued to spread. Tian Meng stopped and looked at the men in black who were surrounding him. He could only pull out his sword in a hurry, his expression serious.

"Everyone, I am in Lieshan Hall, Tian Meng, the master of this place."

"I don't know, but is there any misunderstanding?"

Tian Meng calculated his physical condition. He knew that since the other party had set up such an ambush, it would be difficult to negotiate this matter, so he could only delay it as long as possible.

As long as Tian Hu, the younger brother of Lieshan Hall, discovers something abnormal, he can come to save him!

But how could the people who were ambush not know this?The three men in black said nothing. After confirming the identity of the target, they flew towards him with their swords raised in a 'pin' shape.

Faced with the tacit cooperation of the assassins, Tian Meng gritted his teeth and moved his sword horizontally to block the assassination of the two people below. When facing the assassination of the third person, his body forcibly overcame the paralysis and bent back, using his extremely powerful sword energy. With a violent explosion, he forced back the two enemies in front of him. He turned his sword and tried to cut the man in black above him in two!

Zheng, the man in black above him took out a short dagger in his left hand at some point. While blocking the attack of the extremely powerful sword, his body turned around out of thin air with the help of the power of the two blades, and came directly behind Tian Meng.

Stab, the man in black didn't hesitate at all with the long sword in his right hand, and pierced the target through the belly from behind.

Wow, Tian Meng was so angry that he couldn't help spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

However, the attack of the killer team had not stopped at this time. When the other two men in black saw that the leader had succeeded, they put their swords behind their backs. The internal force in the palm of their other hand exploded, and they swatted at the target one from the left and the other from the right.

The leader of the shadow men tacitly pulled out the sword from Tian Meng's body, bringing out a trace of blood, and then he stepped away lightly with one step.

boom!The arrogant Tian Da Hall Master was hit on the left and right sides of the chest at the same time. His body was directly knocked away and hit a tree trunk on the side of the road. With a loud bang, a large amount of blood poured out.

In just two rounds, the Lieshan Hall Master lost his ability to resist.

He was still young, and his strength had not yet reached its peak. Coupled with the sudden incident, his originally invulnerable and foolproof physique suddenly failed today, making him unprepared and confused.

He watched helplessly as the three men in black approached him with swords raised. Tian Meng was able to bend and stretch. He understood that he could no longer wait for his brother Tian Hu, and now he must work hard to survive!

With a deliberately frightened expression on his face, Tian Meng's voice trembled:

"Seniors, I am the leader of Lieshan Hall of the farm family and the next heir to Xiakui. If you let me go today, Lieshan Hall, Chi You Hall and even the entire farm family can be used by you."

After confirming that the prey had been caught in the net, the man in black became more playful.

"Really?" The leader of the three sneered: "If I kill you, we can still have these~"

With that said, he took off his clothes in front of Tian Meng who couldn't resist.

The first is the mask. The face under the mask is extremely unfamiliar. It is not someone Tian Meng knows.

Then came the night clothes. Under the night clothes, it turned out to be exactly the same as Tian Meng's peasant clothes. Except for the seven-star pearl grass on the chest, even Tian Meng couldn't tell the difference.

"You" Tian Meng's eyes widened, and a terrible idea took shape in his mind.

"Yes, it's just as you thought~" Looking at the expression of the prey, the leader of the man in black took out a thin human skin mask from his back, put it on his face in front of Tian Meng, and pressed it gently. Soon, as if looking into a mirror, another 'Tian Meng' took shape in front of Tian Meng.
"Ah!" Tian Meng was forced to scream. The moment the leader of the man in black put his mask on, his two men: one grabbed Tian Meng's seven-star bead grass, and the other stepped on Tian Meng's grass. With a fierce hand, he forced him to let go of the sword hilt and snatched the Jueli Sword.

"Yeah~ Well done!" He moved his wrist, put on the Seven-Star Pearl Grass, and inserted the Jueli Sword into his waist. There were no flaws in the fake 'Tian Meng'!
"From today onwards, I am the master of Lieshan Hall, Tian Meng!" His triumphant tone was even imitated perfectly. 'Tian Meng' squinted at the bloody master lying on the ground and said coldly:
"Get rid of him, take the head to the back and make a mask, just in case!"

As he spoke, Tian Meng turned around and walked toward Lieshan Hall with his head held high.

As for Sanada Takeshi, he could only watch as the sharp blade sliced ​​across his neck.
In the original time and space, when Tian Meng encountered this crisis, it was the Jing Salamander he married who took action and killed the enemy to escape the disaster.
But now, Jing Salamander has been abducted by Lu Wei and turned into Lu Ni.

Therefore, he can only die
Tian Hu, the leader of Chi You Hall, paced back and forth in the main hall of Lieshan Hall: The eldest brother sent a message from his disciples in the morning, asking him to come over at the end of Xu Shi in the evening to discuss important matters, but it is already Hai Shi, and the eldest brother himself has not come back yet.

He was inexplicably panicked, but he didn't know where the panic came from: Daze Mountain is where the farm's headquarters is located, and all the elites of the Six Halls are in this mountainous area, which is very safe.

"No, I'll go out and have a look!"

After he couldn't wait any longer, Tian Hu held the Tiger Soul Sword and was about to go out when the door of the hall was pushed open.

"Brother!" Tian Hu looked at the visitor and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still some emptiness in his heart. He took the initiative to suppress it: "Is Tian Mi done?"

"Yes." Tian Meng clasped his hands behind his back, walked past his brother, sat down on the main seat, and put his hand on his forehead.

"Brother?" Tian Hu wanted to take a step closer, but Tian Meng raised his hand to stop him: "Brother Hu, I feel a little unwell today. You should go back first."

"Oh." Looking at that familiar face, Tian Hu nodded carelessly: "Then you should pay more attention to your body."

He still had some doubts in his heart, but the other party was his eldest brother, so he left Lieshan Hall without asking any more questions.

"Big brother, it's a little strange today."

------

The sudden change in Lieshan Hall happened under the shadow, but Daze Mountain was still peaceful on the whole.

Early the next morning, Lu Wei went out of the camp alone and found Lu Chen. Under his leadership, he conducted an in-depth inspection of the Gonggongtang defense, and the manager affirmed his ability.

After further interrogation, I learned that Lu Chen also loved to read the art of war. The ranger who once gave the Lu family and his son the internal skills and mental skills also left behind a copy of "Military Military Minutes", which he knew by heart, which made Lu Wei think a lot. .

Ju Guo took another general who emerged from his subordinates and introduced him to the Yan brothers. The three of them had different personalities, but they had many common topics in the way of using troops.Communicate with each other and both can make progress.

The steward informed them in advance that each of them would receive a team of 50 people after the new year, which made the three of them very excited.

After leaving the three-person cabin in a good mood, Lu Wei immediately went to Lu Mu's residence, only to find that Lu Qing was also there: the two were discussing the mechanism workshop.

When they saw the manager arriving, they hurriedly stood up. Lu Wei pressed his palm down, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and his expression was full of interest:

“How about location selection?”

"Follow Uncle Qing's recommendation and plan to build it on Bailu Rock." Lu Mu replied seriously.

“There are dense trees near Bailu Rock, so it’s very well hidden.”

"And if you want to enter it from the front, you will definitely pass through the main road in front of the Gonggongtang headquarters. If you choose to go around the back, you must go in the direction of Siyuetang and cross Shuangjiang Ridge."

Lu Qing smiled and added information.

“The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it’s really a good place.”

Lu Wei remembered the white dew rock terrain in his mind, nodded affirmatively, and then looked at Lu Qing: "The mechanism workshop must be established as soon as possible. Uncle Qing will organize the disciples in the hall to ensure the quality of the project."

"This matter is not difficult. Let's get a few key tasks up and running first, so that the workshop can quickly restore its external production capacity." Lu Qing thought about the plan: "After the prototype is determined, we can then repair the vacancies. In this way, we can divide the construction into key points and reduce the pressure on the disciples in the hall. Not big."

"As long as Uncle Qing has a plan." Lu Wei thought for a while and then specifically warned: "During the construction period of the workshop, give the disciples more salary. Although the construction time must be fast, we must not overly squeeze the hearts of the people at the bottom."

"Don't worry, manager." Lu Qing's eyes flickered and he nodded. He understood the voice of Lu Wei's words:
When there is appropriate oppression, let the middle and lower management take the blame, and when extending favors, it must be in the name of the adult himself.
On the third day after returning to Daze Mountain, Lu Wei received two invitations.The first letter was sent by Kuei Hall in an official name, inviting the general manager to attend the succession ceremony of the new hall leader at noon on December 29th.

According to normal rules, this invitation should be handled by Zhou He, but the senior officials of each farm hall now know that the power of Gonggong Hall is controlled by General Manager Lu Weilu, and people in the world do not stick to trivial matters, so the invitation was simply sent to him directly.

Even now, the chief manager is not humble. When Zhou He went fishing with him, he had already stated that he no longer wanted to meddle in the church's affairs. Lu Wei believed that he should not disobey the elders' requests, otherwise it would be rude.

Tian Mi's succession is equivalent to officially announcing the formation of the pattern of "six farmhouses, half of them returning to the fields". This is naturally not good news for the manager, but he is not without the ability to resist with his wings stiffened:

Currently, in the Lieshan Hall, Chiyou Hall, and Kuei Hall, except for the three hall masters who can lead one party, there are absolutely no other available people.

Tian Meng must do any planning or action personally.Even if there are others like Tian Hu and Tian Mi, he can't expect these two people to have brains.
Therefore, Tian's power seemed to be strong, but he was unable to truly and effectively bring out the power of the Three Halls.

What's more, the Tian family has three surnames, and the surname also has three tangs!

In the process of expanding to Chu, the Zhu family's Shennongtang received strong support from Lord Changping of Qin, and its strength grew rapidly.

Situ Wanli, a gambler, took aim at the strength of Shennongtang, and for a short period of time firmly bet on the Zhu family. Presumably, he also noticed that the Tian family was bloated.

As long as it was not a losing situation, Situ Wanli's position on his foreign surname was still quite firm.

The strength of Gonggongtang was originally at the bottom among the other halls, so in the past few years, any Tian Zhong could rise quickly and gain power.

However, since Lu Wei took over as general manager, he has attracted many talents into the hall. Based on this year's development rate, in a few years, Gonggong Hall will have a great chance of becoming the first of the six halls, even without the help of external help!

The second invitation was a little more troublesome than the first: it was a private letter jointly sent by Tian Meng, Tian Hu, and Tian Mi, inviting Lu Wei to a banquet on the evening of December 28th.

Arrange a private invitation the night before the official invitation, which is self-evident.

As for the reputation, it was the heads of the Tian clan who wanted to help him, the general manager of Gonggong, come back from Yandi all the way to pick up the wind and wash away the dust.

Although the Hongmen Banquet allusion has not happened yet, in Lu Wei's eyes, this invitation clearly means that.

However, this banquet will not have any essential impact on the manager. In the above-board banquet, Lu Wei's life safety is basically guaranteed, and his attitude towards confronting the Tian family will not be affected by a banquet. Change happens.

So it seems like it would be less troublesome not to.

But as soon as he received the invitation, Lu Wei immediately informed the disciple who delivered the letter: Wei Ding will be at the banquet on time.

The reason for doing this is because the chief manager knows that only he knows his attitude. In the eyes of the other five halls, he is still the newcomer who has never been involved in the dispute over farm rights.

The person named Tian thinks he can be won over, and the person named outside thinks he is a natural ally.

Although Lu Wei's personal plan is to unite with Shennong Hall and Siyue Hall in the future, if he just talks about cooperation without showing value, the two old foxes Zhu Jia and Situ Wanli may not be willing to 'respect' him.

But if I take the initiative to get closer to Mr. Tian, ​​then the third invitation that has not yet been sent is not far away~

When the time comes, they will be the ones who propose cooperation!

Manager Lu can just sit down and raise the price~

------

Even if they hold the same sword, different people will have huge differences in the characteristics of the sword energy when they use it.

Tian Meng drove away all the disciples and quietly meditated on the powerful swordsmanship alone. He needed to integrate himself into his identity as soon as possible.

In a farmhouse, it is very dangerous to lurk with such an identity. You must be careful in your words and deeds in all matters.

Otherwise, if you are careless and exposed, you will definitely die without a burial place.

However, along with the risks, there are also higher benefits.

As long as he can secure his identity as 'Tian Meng', even if he was just a newcomer to become the Killer-level Luowang before, now, he is probably on his way to the Tianzi-level promotion order~

In a few years, I will not only be a high-level killer, but I will be able to sit on an equal footing with Luowang's top executives and be a collaborator rather than a subordinate!

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Tian Meng's face.

"Big brother!"

Suddenly, a frizzy shout came from behind, interrupting his lustful thoughts. He knew that the person coming was his younger brother, Tian Hu, just by hearing without looking back.

In the farmhouse, this person is the only one who dares to approach him without reporting.

"What's the matter?" Tian Meng asked seriously, suppressing his impatience as much as possible.

Looking at his brother who had his back turned, Tian Hu didn't care. His voice was rough and loud: "The boy from Gonggongtang has agreed to attend the meeting. Let me tell you."

"Yeah, I understand." Tian Meng's reaction was flat.

There is no exchange of information among the killers at the lower levels of the network. He has been lurking near Daze Mountain these years, concentrating on how to replace Tian Meng, and he only has some basic impressions of other farmers.

Therefore, in the eyes of 'Tian Meng', Manager Lu is just a subordinate within the farm family who wants to be subdued. He has no idea that three murder-level snares in his organization have fallen into his hands.

If Lu Wei himself knew about this, he would definitely have objections: he only killed two, and the third one was killed by Zhuang Jia!

"Brother, you." The smile on Tian Hu's face slowly solidified, and he frowned: "Brother, are you in a bad mood recently?"

The two are brothers, so Tian Hu asked very directly.

"Brother Tiger", Tian Meng took his time and chose one of the words he had thought of in advance: "I'm about to achieve a breakthrough in my skills recently, and I feel restless, so I'm trying to suppress my emotions."

"Really!" Tian Hu was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help laughing twice. After laughing, he felt a little presumptuous and couldn't help but lower his voice: "Brother, practice hard and I won't disturb you anymore!"

After saying that, he walked out of the backyard of Lieshan Hall with striding steps like the wind.

On the last step of leaving, he turned around and glanced at the back of his eldest brother, with an extremely rare expression of deep thought for a few seconds.
He, who had always relied on instinct rather than brain, noticed a slight strangeness about his elder brother.
Arriving at the front yard of Lieshan Hall, Tian Hu frowned and his face was full of gloom. As he walked, he suddenly grabbed a lone gatekeeper disciple, picked up the other disciple's neck with one hand, and lifted him up: "My eldest brother, is there anything unusual about him recently?"

Tian Hu's expression was ferocious, and his eyes were as wild as a real tiger's. The disciple caught by him encountered unexpected disasters, and was extremely frightened:
"The second or second is in charge, the first is in charge of him"

"What's wrong with him!" He retracted his arm so that he and the disciple were almost face to face: "Say quickly!"

"The headmaster has been talking a lot less since he came back from Kuei Hall that night."

"Kui Kai Hall!" He threw the disciple in his hand to the ground with all his strength. Tian Hu's long hair was stirred up by the internal force and fluttered wantonly in the air. A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He took out a piece of gold from his arms with his left hand and threw it to the paralyzed person. Disciples on the ground: "Don't talk to me about this matter. Don't talk to the master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Hu walked towards Kuikai Hall with a gloomy face.
