Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 97 Tian Meng is missing
"When I am about to take a long breath, my heart is low and I care about my heart; the sounds and colors of the Qiang are entertaining, and the observers are so excited that they forget to return."

Dong Huang, who is wrapped in a black robe, is like an eternal statue. His figure is extremely huge against the starry sky behind him:

"Moon God, you're late."

"Yes." The Moon God stopped far away on the star road formed by Yin and Yang magic, with his left hand on his chest in the shape of a seal: "After I fought with her, I met that special star in Jicheng. He has learned the five virtues."

"Once the Five Virtues are in place and you are branded as the Yin Yang Family, you will no longer be able to escape."

The star map behind Donghuang lit up, and the stars in the sky were shining like the Milky Way falling into the mortal world, like a dream.The Moon God knew that the master of the Yin Yang family was deducing the starry sky.

Her astrological law can only trace the trajectory of one star now, but Lord Donghuang can connect all the stars together and overlook the fate of all lives.

"Now is not the time to bring Dongjun back." The two long golden ornaments hanging from the chest of Donghuang's black robe swayed gently, and his tone remained calm and clear: "In the Ministry of Fire, the commander-in-chief can return." Your seat is here, you, go down first."

"Yes." Moon God turned around and left calmly.

When she walked out of the ancient bronze door again, she half turned around again and looked at the ghosts and gods whose faces could not be seen clearly at the door. Under the gauze, in the purple pupils, a strange light flashed: Even His Excellency Donghuang could not count that Is it the pure inner Qi of the Five Virtues?
Daze Mountain, Gonggongtang headquarters, Lu Wei waited in his room for Lu Qing, who had returned from Shennongtang.

"General Manager, I just met with the Zhu Family Hall Master. He has something important to discuss with you."

Sitting and watching Lu Qing's smooth tea-making movements, Lu Wei nodded slightly and took the tea cup: "When did the Zhu family come back?"

"Yesterday, after he came back, he went to Lieshan Hall first. When he learned that you hadn't arrived yet this morning, he invited me to discuss some cooperation with Wei."

"He went to Lieshan Hall first after he came back?" Lu Wei played with the hot tea cup, and did not feel any burning sensation under the effect of the ice palm skillfully: "When did Master Tian Meng come back?"

"Master Tian Meng hasn't come back yet." Lu Qing shook his head.

He was keenly aware that both the Zhu Family Hall Master and the General Manager had a different attitude when they heard about Lieshan Hall Tianmeng Hall Master. There might be a secret hidden in it, but this was something he could not involve himself in:

"Tian Hu Hall Master Tian Hu returned to Daze Mountain two hours earlier than the Chief Supervisor. According to the surveillance of the disciples, after he came back, he also went to Lieshan Hall in a menacing manner."

"Yes." Lu Wei knew this news in advance: "Uncle Qing, thank you for your hard work. How many hall masters in Daze Mountain are back now?"

"There are only Hall Masters Zhu and Tian Hu. However, according to Hall Master Zhu, Hall Master Situ has some trivial matters in Wei State and will not be able to return until about two or three months later."

"It seems that the mission given to Situ Wanli by Xia Kui is quite troublesome."

Lu Wei was chatting with Lu Qing when suddenly a disciple came to report: "Liu Ji, the manager of Shennong Hall, came to visit."

The two people chatting looked at each other and smiled, not too surprised.

Lu Qing could get a report from his disciples about Tian Hu's return, and naturally the Shennong Hall could also get a report about Lu Wei's return.

"It's a little slower than I expected." Lu Wei stood up holding the Jade Soul Sword: "It seems that it took more time to find Manager Liu in the casino."

"Manager, do you want to arrange a banquet tonight?"

Before he went out, Uncle Qing suddenly asked.

"No, I will definitely come back later."

"Understood." Lu Qing nodded. On the surface, he was asking about trivial matters such as 'whether to arrange a banquet', but in fact, he was asking whether to send a disciple to help the manager escape at the appropriate time.

Just like the Tian family's banquet at the end of the year before last.
"Brother from the Zhu family called me here in such a hurry, but I just sat down in the Gonggong Hall~"

Walking alone into a side courtyard of the Shennongtang headquarters, the Zhu family was the only one holding his chin with both hands, wearing a blue mask of sadness.

"Hey, brother Lu Wei is here." Short winter melon's mask of sadness turned into a mask of joy in an instant: "I know you are tired, so I went to the lake to catch a few big fish myself. The fish soup will be sent to you later~"

With a flick of Zhu's short fingers, the door closed automatically. Before the sound of closing the door, his face turned blue and sad: "Oh, Brother Lu Wei, something big happened to the farmhouse!"

"Lieshan Hall?"

"It's Lieshan Hall!" The Zhu family lowered their voices unconsciously: "Tian Meng is missing!"

Bent down and sitting cross-legged opposite the Zhu family, Manager Lu firmly concealed his true thoughts after hearing the news, only showing a slight frown:

"Missing?"

"Last year, Tian Meng and I received a mission to go to the Chu Kingdom. Brother Lu Wei, please know."

The Zhu family put their hands behind their backs and paced back and forth in the room with a sigh. After seeing Lu Wei nodding, he said: "Although we went to the Chu country together, brother, I went to Shouchun, and Tian Meng went to the old Wuyue land. .”

"So you separated halfway, but what's the meaning of missing?"

Lu Wei recalled his time in Shouchun last year and estimated the speed at which the Zhu family rushed from Daze Mountain to Shouchun. He found no problem with the Zhu family.

"Don't worry, just listen to me and tell me slowly." Zhu's mask turned yellow and then red, showing the myriad of emotions in his heart:
"Boss Xia Kui rarely sends his cronies to give orders to our hall master. Since he did it this time, we hall masters will naturally follow suit."

"Among the five hall masters, Tian Meng and I are the only ones who go to the same country. Although the final destinations are different, we can still travel together in Qi State."

"On the way, I found that Tian Meng was a little weird. Out of brotherly love, I cared about him, but Tian Meng seemed to have changed. He didn't even maintain the surface politeness. He took Lieshan Hall disciples alone during a break. I'm leaving."

Zhu Jia then said that the mask on his face was changing, but after all, he only had four faces of "emotion, anger, sorrow, and joy", and he couldn't make complex expressions:
"I think there is something wrong with Tian Meng, but at that time, a friend from Chu State came to ask for help. I also thought that it would be a long time in the future, so I let him go."

"Later, brother, my mission in Shouchun was completed very smoothly. There was a powerful person who had a good relationship with me and helped me a lot."

Having said this, he touched the beard of his mask and turned to look at Lu Wei: "On my trip to Shouchun, I realized that brother Lu Wei has done something big and actually has a relationship with the Xiang family."

"It's not a big deal that I made acquaintance while performing the mission of Xiakui." Lu Wei responded seriously and asked about the Zhu family: "From the tone of the Zhu family, this big dignitary of the Chu State who helped you carry out the mission is not from the Xiang family. , but his status is higher than that of the Xiang family?"

"Hehe, I know you are smart, brother Lu Wei, but don't ask too much about this matter, and it's best not to think too much about it." Zhu Jia raised his hand and patted his forehead, shook his head, and turned around: "No, I want to hide it, brother." you."

"This was arranged directly by Xiakui. Although I accepted the help of that great noble, I don't know who he is, and I haven't even met him in person."

"Of course Lu will listen to Brother Zhu's teachings." Lu Wei narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I won't ask about this anymore, but what does this have to do with Tian Meng?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we're getting to the point."

The Zhu family continued to pace: "After I completed the mission, I wanted to go to Wei Guo Situ's place to visit, but before I left, Tian Meng suddenly came over and said that Xia Kuai had an order and asked me to go back to Daze Mountain with him first. .”

"Then, he actually took out the Xia Kui warrant. I checked it carefully and found that there was no problem, so I followed him to Daze Mountain."

"By the way, I also want to observe the abnormality he had before~"

"But who would have thought that on the first night we set out, Tian Meng suddenly disappeared, leaving only a dozen disciples of Lieshan Hall."

"Furthermore, the key point is that according to those disciples, the last time I saw him was at midnight. Tian Meng said he had something important to discuss with me and went to my room!"

"But I didn't see him at all!"

The Zhu family spoke in a high and thin tone at the end, as if they had been greatly wronged.

"However, brother Lu Wei, you also know that staying away all night is actually not a strange thing for us and other knights in the world."

"After I learned about the situation at that time, I sent my disciples to go out to search for it, while I waited on the spot. I thought Tian Meng might have discovered something unusual, so I followed it without having time to explain."

"But for three whole days, there was no news from Tian Meng!"

Zhu Jia's tone was low: "It's like the world has evaporated!"

"After returning to Daze Mountain, I immediately went to Lieshan Hall, but the disciples of Lieshan Hall have not contacted Tian Meng since he left Qi."

"It's been almost a year now."

"The last time I saw him was a month ago."

"This is indeed strange." Lu Wei raised his hand and kowtowed to the side of his forehead: "But why is Brother Zhu so worried?"

"Tian Meng is missing. It's impossible to suspect Brother Zhu of doing something just because of what he said before he disappeared."

"Brother, the key is here!" The Zhu family returned to their seats and sat cross-legged: "When Tian Meng took his disciples to Shouchun to find me, he told those disciples that I sent him a message to ask him to come and help!"

"This" the head manager stopped banging his head: "Tian Meng disappeared on his own initiative to frame you?"

"Someone is trying to use Tian Meng to frame me!" The Zhu family mask turned into anger: "I was careless. Only he and I know about the letter from the hero Tian Meng brought!"

"Didn't you confirm that the letter belongs to Xia Kui?" After Lu Wei finished saying this, he silently added the unsaid sentence in his heart: Unless this frame-up was arranged by Xia Kui Tian Guang.
"I was sure at first!" Zhu's mask collapsed: "But after combining this information, I am not sure anymore."

"This method is very clumsy." Lu Wei touched his chin and glanced up: "But the point is, what is the purpose of the person who designed this method?"

"Brother, do you believe what I said?" Zhu Jia jumped forward and lay on the table.

"Of course" Lu Wei nodded: "At this point in time, there are still so many loopholes left, this is obviously a frame-up."

"Yes, but... alas." The Zhu family squatted back to their original positions: "Ordinary disciples are not as knowledgeable as us. Most of them don't even know the words. Once the matter spreads, they won't think so!"

"Especially Tian Meng's younger brother, Tian Hu!"

"I'm not afraid of him, but there are too many weird things about being wronged for nothing."

"Brother Zhu, don't worry. If it involves the survival of the master of my farm, it will definitely be handled by Xiakui himself."

Lu Wei calmly spread his hands and said, "Brother Zhu won't doubt Xia Kui, right?"

"Boss Xia Kui is fair and impartial, I naturally trust him~" The Zhu family raised their heads and looked at Lu Wei. Even with the mask blocking it, the manager could feel that he did not trust Tian Guang as much as he said.

After all, if what the Zhu family said was true, the first person he would doubt would be Tian Guang.

Only Xiakui has the ability to drive Tian Meng like this.

But the question is here, as Lu Wei just asked, what is Tian Guang's purpose in doing this?
Moreover, this Tian Meng and Lu Wei knew that he was fake. Would the fake Tian Meng cooperate with Tian Guang?

Even if they cooperate, Luo Wang's eyes are still watching.
So assuming that the trap was designed, what was it for?

You finally got Tian Meng's face, just to provoke him so bluntly?
Or maybe there are other forces that want to get involved in the farmhouse?
No, Lu Wei looked at the worried Zhu family and thought about what Tian Guang had said to him last year. He concluded that this matter must have been done by this gentleman!
As for the purpose, of course it is not for the Zhu family, the purpose is still for the Luowang organization
The Zhu family poured out their complaints to Lu Wei, which was inevitably intended to win support.

In the evening, he stayed for the dinner as it happened. In addition to the two of them, there was also Liu Ji at the banquet.

According to Lu Qing, this young 'gangster' has a high reputation among the grassroots disciples. This is mainly because he can play with everyone, and he often loses money at the gambling table, and he can still laugh and laugh. I thought so.

The Zhu family also cared about ordinary disciples and often went to the fields to work with them, but it was impossible for him to play with them.

The steward asked himself that he couldn't do it either. He could teach his disciples how to practice swords before, but now he would definitely rather watch the snow girl dance, or teach Xiao Yan'er how to read and dance swords.For disciples who are not worthy enough, it is faster to directly use money to win people's hearts.

Liu Ji is now the general manager, and he can still laugh and laugh as he did when he was a low-level disciple. At the lowest level, he is not enterprising, and at the highest level, he is informal. In the end, how the world will evaluate him still depends on what achievements he can achieve~

Lu Wei believed that after Tian Guang's accident, he would definitely seize the position of the leader of heroes. People like Liu Ji were already rare talents among farmers and could be used.When the Zhu family gets older, his value will be even higher.

This dinner was not held in a dignified hall like Tian's banquet, but on the roof of Gonggong Hall.

The three of them held bowls of fish soup, looked at the night sky, and chatted about trivial farm matters, with a lot of Jianghu atmosphere.
