Because he suspected that the Qin State was going to attack the farmers, Tian Guang did not dare to appear in his usual clothes. Before entering the Qin State, he specially asked his friends from the Jianghu who knew how to disguise themselves to change his appearance for him.
Since Tian Guang is the hero of the farm family, he has a certain understanding of farming matters and farmers' behavior.
In addition, he has changed his appearance and plays the role of a vegetable farmer very vividly. Even a real vegetable farmer may not be able to spot the flaws.
The spies who were all over the city gates, streets and cities of Xianyang City simply could not connect an ordinary vegetable farmer with a famous knight-errant who was in charge of a farm with 100,000 disciples. Such a vegetable farmer was too ordinary and too ordinary.
Tian Guang successfully entered Xianyang City, and did not go to the farm's stronghold in Xianyang as before. After selling out all the food, he stayed in a low-end inn for a day.
Early the next morning, he hid directly under the carriage buying fresh vegetables at Xiong Qi's mansion, and sneaked into Xiong Qi's mansion without anyone noticing.
After this operation, if Cheng Qiao knew about it, I am afraid he would not like Tian Guang because of his different stance.
Under the control of the dragnet, Tian Guang still found a flaw. His experience in the world of martial arts is truly remarkable, and his thinking is truly thorough.
You must know that not only are Luowang's spies stationed at the city gates, streets, and markets, but also at farmers' strongholds and all strongholds Luowang knows, and there are also people among Xiong Qi's children and servants who are bribed by Luowang.
Although the farmer's stronghold in Xianyang City is not known to Luo Wen everywhere, he still has a good grasp of it. If Tian Guang goes to Luo Wen's stronghold to settle down, there is a high probability that he will run into a stronghold controlled by secret agents.
The so-called spies do not refer to people hiding in the dark, but to people disguised as various identities or who are originally various identities.
It is extremely difficult to identify these spies, because the actors are in the minority and are flexible personnel. Most of the spies can be considered part-time jobs, using their identities and professional characteristics to earn extra money.
Most of the spies are peripheral members of the Luowang intelligence network, and only a few are formal members. The peripheral members usually receive meager remuneration to keep in touch. If they want to get rich, they have to report the clues their superiors want.
Once useful clues are reported, getting rich overnight is no longer a dream, just like winning a big lottery ticket in modern times.
In the entire underground intelligence network, there are far more peripheral members than formal members. The former have meager revenge but a large number, while the latter have a slightly smaller number but high rewards. They are all big spenders of money.
The Tianluo Diwang organization, Diwang burns more money than Tianluo. Intelligence organizations have been big money burners since ancient times. Countries of less than a certain size simply cannot afford the cost of running an intelligence organization.
The most brilliant thing about Tian Guang's operation was that he did not meet the servants responsible for purchasing in Xiong Qi's mansion, otherwise he would be exposed at this last level.
Although the sons of noble families are often very loyal and difficult to bribe, as long as they are given enough chips, there will always be those who cannot control their inner greed.
I am afraid that few farmers can do this operation without anyone noticing. In fact, no one except Tian Guang can do it.
People who can become heroes have a few tricks up their sleeves and are not so easy to catch.
The official evaluation of Tian Guang's character in the Qin Dynasty was that he was heroic and loyal, wise and courageous, deeply aware of righteousness, willing to sacrifice himself for others, and worthy of his name.
…
Tian Guang sneaked into Xiong Qi's mansion and hid in Xiong Qi's front study, waiting patiently for Xiong Qi's return from the Yamen.
Xiong Qi came back very late today because he had a social engagement to attend. Tian Guang waited from morning until late at night and never left in the middle. He was extremely patient.
After everyone left, Tian Guang released his restrained aura to say hello to Xiong Qi, lest Xiong Qi was suddenly frightened.
Wearing a loose crimson uniform, with a short beard, elegant eyebrows, and a majestic demeanor, Xiong Qi sat with his back to the bookshelf, his posture as tall as a gun, and he was meditating with a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.
Suddenly noticing a familiar aura, Xiong Qi put down the bamboo slips and said in a deep voice: "How long have you been here?"
Whoosh, Tian Guang jumped down from the beam, appeared in front of the table in an instant, bowed his hands in a polite manner: "I'll meet you, Young Master, in less than a day."
It took less than a day, so it took a long time.
Xiong Qi, who was mentally prepared, would naturally not be frightened. He raised his head slightly and saw that Tian Guang was not even wearing the Nine-Star Bead Grass, and was completely dressed like a commoner in Guizhou. He knew that something big must have happened, otherwise he would not have died.
in this way.
"No need to be polite, sit down." Xiong Qidan smiled and raised his hand to invite.
Hearing this, Tian Guang knelt down on the cushion in front of the table and said with a serious face: "A big event happened in the farmhouse recently. The leader of Siyue Hall, Mr. Xian, was killed. It was probably caused by the Qin State's snare."
"The whole thing is like this. I hope the young master can help me clarify my doubts and see if the Qin State is going to take action against the farmers."
Hearing that the farmer seemed to be targeted by the Qin State, Xiong Qi felt some concern in his heart, but his expression remained calm and calm: "Speak."
Therefore, Tian Guang told the story of the matter in detail, including the discussion process of the farmer's high-level meeting, his own speculations, conclusions, etc. In short, everything was down to detail.
Among them, the secret code left by the leader of Siyue Hall, Xian Lao, is the most important. If it were not for the secret code, it would be difficult for the farmers to associate the matter with the Qin State and Luo Sheng.
The traces at the scene and the corpses left behind are secondary and can only be used as supporting evidence and cannot play a decisive role.
After Xiong Qi heard what Tian Guang said, he frowned in deep thought. Tian Guang waited quietly without saying another word.
After half a cup of tea, Xiong Qi relaxed his brows and said solemnly: "In my opinion, Qin State has no intention of specifically targeting farmers."
"I haven't heard a whisper. If the Qin State really wants to target the peasant family, even if it's kept secret, with my official position and the deep-rooted illusion of the Chu family, it's impossible not to notice a whisper."
"No matter how secretive the Qin State is, there will always be officials to enforce it. Which government office does not have officials from the Chu faction?"
"Young master, you mean that Luo Sheng acted alone and has nothing to do with the Qin State as a whole?"
"But what is their purpose in doing this?"
"Do you really want to avenge Wu'an Jun Bai Qi?"
When Tian Guang heard this, his already bright dual-modes became brighter and he felt a lot more relaxed. Although the trap was difficult to deal with, it was still better than facing the entire Qin State.
Facing the Qin State, the six countries were a little unable to hold on, let alone a mere peasant family. They were absolutely vulnerable to an egg hitting a rock!
"Although Qin has rehabilitated Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, the possibility of avenging him is very small."
"Bai Qi's final death was driven by many forces, but the most important reason was that King Qin Zhaoxiang did not want to protect him and had a murderous intention, otherwise no one would be able to kill him."
"If the elder of the Sixth Hall of Nongjia had faced Bai Qi in his prime, whose hard skills had not been weakened by special poisons, let alone killing Bai Qi, he might not have been able to escape intact..."
"Unless Yonghou is a fanatical admirer of Bai Qi, he should not create enemies for Qin before Qin's great cause has officially begun."
"The attitude towards farmers also means the attitude towards other schools of thought in a sense, which can easily cause a chain of negative reactions."
After Tian Guang heard this, he considered it carefully, believed Xiong Qi's judgment, and was not dissatisfied with the farmer being belittled.
Regarding Bai Qi's terror, Tian Guang learned something about it from the older generation of hall masters. Even though Bai Qi was extremely weakened, the leader of the Sixth Hall of the Nong Family used Dize Twenty-Four to win after a hard fight.
Bai Qi, who was at his peak, was able to achieve Taoism by killing, and his extremely terrifying murderous intent could materialize. People with weak minds and wills would be destroyed even if they were not dead by the impact of that terrifying murderous intent.
He also found a new way to temper his body with murderous energy, and achieved great success. Coupled with even more terrifying killing techniques, swift speed, and weird body skills, there was no weakness in his body at all.
He is not only the world's leading general, but also the world's most powerful man. Although he can't understand what Bai Qi has done, he has to admit that this man is an outstanding person.
"So it's probably Luo Wang who acted alone, but what's the reason?"
"I remember that the farmer didn't seem to have offended that aloof Yonghou, right?"
Xiong Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, and was also confused. For a moment, he couldn't think of why the net was targeting farmers. There was no reason. Why didn't it target other schools of thought, but focused on farmers?
Huh?
Wait a moment!
Is it possible that the net is not targeting the farmers, but the leader of Siyue Hall, or a few members of the farmers?
In fact, the purpose of the net is really only two people, Xian Zong, the leader of Siyue Hall, and Yu Tu, the leader of Gonggong Hall. But now that Yu Tu is staying at the base camp of Gonggong Hall in Daze Mountain, Liujian Slave cannot take action, so he can only do it first.
To control the other principals of the Iron Blood Alliance of Qi.
"Tell me more about the Master of Siyue Hall, starting from his life."
Tian Guang was not an idiot. He vaguely sensed some of Xiong Qi's intentions and immediately told the story of Xian Zong's life.
When Tian Guang mentioned that Xian Zong was responsible for handling matters related to the Iron-Blood Alliance of Chu State on behalf of the farmers and was one of the leaders of the Iron-Blooded Alliance of Chu State, Xiong Qi's eyes lit up and he immediately spoke up.
"stop!"
"Master, have you figured it out?"
Xiong Qi smiled confidently and said: "Although I am not completely sure, I should be close to ten."
"Please give me some advice, Master." Tian Guang bowed his hands and said.
"It's not about giving me advice. You just don't have as many channels of information as I do. If you knew this information, you would be able to figure it out quickly."
"Some time ago, Luo Wang took over the Iron Blood Alliance of the Qin State. From now on, all the nobles only have the right to share, not management rights."
When Tian Guang heard this, he suddenly realized that this was indeed an appropriate reason to take action, but then a new doubt arose.
"Sir, with the intelligence capabilities of farmers, it stands to reason that this kind of matter should not be ignored..."
This is indeed the truth. The Iron Blood Alliance is not isolated. It has connections with the powerful, the various schools of thought, and the powerful forces in the world.
"The Lu family, the Wang family, and the Meng family all supported him. Coupled with that man's power, all the Chu forces in the Iron Blood Alliance had to compromise, let alone other small and medium-sized nobles."
"Except for the people from various powerful families who brought it back, other people took over control of the network. No news can be transmitted within the Iron Blood Alliance."
"This matter is not a glorious thing for the powerful people, so naturally it will not be publicized everywhere."
"I didn't expect Luo Wang's appetite to be so big, otherwise I would have informed you."
Xiong Qi's face looked helpless. He actually didn't want to give up the Iron Blood Alliance.
He doesn't care much about money or anything like that. What's important is that the Iron Blood Alliance is often used to do some shady things. But in the face of the alliance of the four families, the Chu faction of the Iron Blood Alliance has to give in, even if he wants to be strong.
If you get up, others will not agree.
This is the disadvantage of Xiong Qi not becoming the Lord of Changping and the Prime Minister of Qin.
Even with the support of Queen Mother Huayang and Mrs. Qing, she only had the vague power of the leader of the Chu faction, which was qualitatively different from the actual leader of the Chu faction, and could not command the heroes at all.
"This has nothing to do with the young master. The young master of Qin really has the style of Qin, with the same ambition as a wolf."
"It seems that the masters of the Gonggong Hall have also been targeted by the net. Fortunately, I handled it carefully and asked the masters of each hall to guard their posts in Daze Mountain."
"For the present plan, we should expose Luo Wang's ambition to the Iron Blood Alliance of the Six Nations, destroy Luo Wang's plan, and make it fall short."
"The network has expanded rapidly in the past few years. If we let it swallow up the Iron Blood Alliance, we don't know how big the threat will be..."
Hearing this, Xiong Qi subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to agree, but he took the words back and shook his head after thinking carefully.
"No, the trap has set its sights on the Iron Blood Alliance. We will definitely not give up until we achieve our goal."
"Revelation can only stop it for a while at best. Once the limelight is over, the net will definitely continue to attack. If it can be prevented for a while, can it be prevented for a lifetime?"
"Even if the farmers can defend it, and the Iron Blood Alliance of Chu State can defend it, what about the other forces?"
"It is still difficult to stop the expansion of Luo Wang. Luo Wang is backed by the Qin State. Unless the Qin State suffers a major setback, the pace of expansion cannot be stopped. It is just a matter of speed."
Tian Guang slightly thought about it and said, "What do you mean, Master?"
"Since that person took control of the net, the power of the net has not only grown rapidly, but has also become impenetrable. This may be a good opportunity to send someone to penetrate the net."
"For an organization like Luowen, we should have our own people, otherwise we will be too passive."
"Even if we want to expose the conspiracy of the snare, we have to wait until our people take this opportunity to sneak into the snare and then expose it."
Xiong Qi actually doesn't care too much about the survival of the Six Nations Iron Blood Alliance. Those forces can't be used by them anyway. Since the net can't stop it in the end, why bother making wedding dresses for others?
It's better to take the opportunity to gain some benefits for yourself and plant some of your own eyes and ears into the deadly weapon of the snare. There may be unexpected benefits for future actions...
Regarding Cheng Qiao, Xiong Qi has also developed some tastes over the years.
When we usually meet, the other person seems to respect me and is polite, but in fact it's all superficial. He doesn't usually interact with his relatives at all, nor does he interact with most of his relatives from the Chu family.
This kind of alienation is quite unreasonable. We are all relatively close relatives. In the past, the position of the prince and the throne had not yet been determined. The Chu and Han families were indeed rivals, but it was still like this after that, which was a bit abnormal.
From this, it can be determined that the other party does not have a favorable impression of the Chu forces.
It's really unsettling that a deadly weapon like a snare is in the opponent's hands and no one of our own is targeted...
"Since the young master thinks so, let's give it a try and ask the young master for instructions on how to act."
"Pretending to be ignorant of the purpose of the snare, the farmers continued to maintain a posture of alertness and secretly ordered our people to cooperate with the snare to infiltrate the Iron Blood Alliance, but we cannot let it succeed easily, and the bargaining chips must be sufficient."
"In addition, we can notify the forces in the Iron Blood Alliance that are close to us and that we trust, so that they can also cooperate appropriately with the infiltration of the snare."
"Most other forces should not inform you. The more people who know, the easier it is to expose flaws."
"The people who infiltrate the snare must be carefully selected, not too many. Everyone must be carefully selected."
"When our people gain a firm foothold in the snare, we can expose the snare's conspiracy."
"When the time comes, you should contact all the forces, investigate in secret, and then take action at the same time."
"In this way, we will definitely be able to clear away the hidden secrets in the Iron-Blooded Alliance and defeat the snare in one fell swoop!"
Xiong Qi's eyes flashed, a sinister look appeared on his face, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and his tone was confident and decisive.
"Young master, what a good plan!"
"Luowen usually selects and review the candidates very strictly, but it's different if Luowen actively infiltrates."
"The highest result of infiltration is to turn all the people above and below into our own, so that all our people in the Iron Blood Alliance can take advantage of it."
"It shouldn't take long for our personnel to get a firm foothold. It can be as short as half a year or as long as one year."
"Even if Luo Wang secretly controls the Iron Blood Alliance during this period, he won't be able to gain much benefit. When all forces are united to kill all Luo Wang's secret agents, Luo Wang will lose everything."
"The long-running financial resources were suddenly cut off. The manpower and material resources sent by ourselves and the manpower and material resources obtained from the Iron-Blooded Alliance will suffer heavy losses. It should be enough to make that person heartbroken."
Tian Guang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
"Yes, that's exactly what it is. When you achieve your goal, you will make that person extremely happy and miserable at the same time!"
"The specific implementation of this matter will be left to you. If you need help, just come to me."
Xiong Qi's eyes were soft and he looked at Tian Guang with a smile, looking like a teachable child.
However, neither Tian Guang nor Xiong Qi knew that Cheng Qiao had already achieved good results in infiltrating the farmers. When Xiong Qi didn't know about the secret code, Cheng Qiao knew about it.
From this, we brainstormed various aspects of Xiong Qi's reactions and made corresponding response plans. If verified, they can be implemented directly or with slight adjustments.
If it is verified, the long-running plan to draw blood from the Iron-Blooded Alliance will be immediately abandoned and turned into a one-shot deal to lure away the Iron-Blooded Alliance's manpower, take away the money and materials on the Iron-Blooded Alliance's books, and create a wave of sudden wealth!
Although the ultimate income of a sudden wealth stream is certainly not as high as a long-term stream of blood, you will still make a lot of money. It is just a matter of making more or less.
Coupled with Zhao Gao's plan to target undercover agents, it is not certain who will be extremely happy or miserable in the future...
"Okay, I must try my best." Tian Guang said with a serious face and firm eyes.
"Okay, it's getting late. It's not too late to discuss more details tomorrow."
"You've been here for so long, and you haven't eaten enough water yet. It's time to eat something."
"I'll arrange for someone to bring some food over, and we'll have a few drinks."
Tian Guang felt warm in his heart. Although it would not be a big deal if he skipped two meals with his cultivation level, it would definitely not be as comfortable as eating two meals. It was rare for a nobleman like the Young Master to think of it.
Given his relationship with the young master, there was no need to be polite.
"I will obey the master's instructions in everything I do."
"Okay, wait a moment."
After saying that, Xiong Qi exerted force on his waist, abdomen and legs, stood up gracefully from the soft cushion, and walked slowly and gracefully out of the study room.
