Situ Wanli's words made Tian Hu, who had been standing on the steps with his back to everyone and his arms folded, turn around.
Looking at his niece who was slowly walking in behind Situ Wanli, Tian Hu asked:
"Ayan, why did it take so long?"
"Tian Yan is weak, please bear with me." Tian Yan gave a casual answer.
Tian Hu didn't care and asked, "Where is Lao Jin?"
He and the little fat man went to hunt down the Zhu family, but now only the little fat man came back with Tian Yan.
After hearing this question, Tian Yan glanced vaguely at Tian Mi, who looked a little abnormal at this time, with a smile on his lips, and simply replied:
"Mr. Jin still has some aftermath matters to deal with. He will be there soon."
Regarding Tian Yan's lie, Tian Mi's eyes were a little dodgeful, but she did not remind Tian Hu, just like she did not remind him about Wu Kuang after she rushed over to have a round with Tian Hu.
Wu Kuang is different from Sheng Qi. The latter was completely identified as a peasant criminal back then. This case was actually carried out by Tian Hu's eldest brother Tian Meng.
Even if Tian Hu knew there was a problem, out of interest and to protect his elder brother's face, he would unconditionally choose the former between Tian Mi and Sheng Qi.
But Wu Kuang is not the sinner, he is the victim.
Even Tian Hu couldn't just say that the murderer and the victim colluded together to target Tian Mi inexplicably.
Therefore, once Tian Mi is exposed, the identity of the sinner will be instantly transferred to her.
Of course, for his own benefit and the benefit of the Tian family, Tian Hu could not really support Wu Kuang Shengqi's revenge against Tian Mi.
But he will probably take this opportunity to destroy Tian Mi, and then completely take Kuei Hall into his own hands.
The enemy of your enemy can still be your enemy.
For Tian Hu, the best choice is to get rid of Tian Mi. After all, this woman has not been close to him over the years.
Now that we have a reasonable excuse, wouldn't it be better to get rid of her and replace her with someone who is truly reliable?
As for Wu Kuang and Sheng Qi... Tian Hu could only express deep regret. Anyway, he would not spit out the meat in his mouth.
Tian Mi knew very well that Tian Hu was not a safe and reliable ally for her, so she did not dare to expose her fragile status.
Besides, the task given to her by Luo Wang was not to help Tian Hu become a hero, so even if this guy lacked information and was cheated, she didn't care.
Tian Yan noticed Tian Mi's mentality and lied without any scruples.
She didn't even worry about being exposed.
What lie did she say?
She was not there when Wu Kuang revealed his identity, so how could she know?
Ah Ci was present, but he was stupid and naive and didn't understand anything at all. The only insider was Tian Mi, but she refused to say anything.
It was me who met Mr. Jin later, and he told me that he had to deal with the aftermath, so he responded accordingly.
If there were any mistakes, it was because he had been misled by Mr. Jin, and the entire responsibility lies with Tian Mi who failed to report the information.
Tian Hu knew nothing about the thoughts of these two women. He didn't know anything and he laughed immediately after hearing this answer:
"So, the fat boy succeeded?"
"Is Lao Jin now behind that guy from Shan Zhu's family?"
Tian Yan did not give a clear answer to these two questions. He just glanced at Ah Ci, who was chasing butterflies behind him.
Her non-statement was easily understood by Tian Hu as acquiescence, and she immediately became even happier.
But no matter how happy he was, he never forgot the most important thing.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, give me the stone." Tian Hu waved to Tian Zhongyi who was standing aside.
Tian Zhong was about to put down the box containing the Stone of Fire, but Tian Yan interrupted at this moment:
"After taking over as the leader of Xiaqi, will you show mercy to Shennongtang?"
Tian Hu's first reaction after hearing this was to be stunned.
What kind of weird question is this? Are you kidding me?
Immediately, he replied sharply without hesitation, "How could I let those remnants of Shennongtang go by?"
"If this is the case..." Tian Yan lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "I'm afraid you are not suitable to succeed the hero."
Hearing this, Tian Zhong and Tian Mi all looked surprised.
Tian Hu seemed not to hear clearly. He took a moment to realize what his niece said, and immediately shouted angrily:
"Ayan, do you know what you are talking about!"
"I can't do it, how can you do it!?"
Tian Yan remained silent, but Situ Wanli, who was originally standing with Tian Hu and others, turned around and changed to stand with Tian Yan, facing Tian Hu and others.
At the same time, he said with a smile:
"With the strength of Lieshan Hall, the eldest lady does have this qualification."
Tian Hu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that this old Situ was indeed unreliable, but in front of the statue of the ancestor Shennong, he could not take action without saying anything. He could only suppress his anger and asked with a sneer:
"Brother Situ... what do you mean?"
"Haha..." Situ Wanli smiled and responded, "If the first master is still alive and Lieshan Hall leads the farmhouse and the sixth hall, wouldn't the second master support it?"
Tian Hu turned aside and replied in a low voice, "Of course I support my eldest brother, but I don't support this girl in her movie!"
"Isn't it ridiculous to let her be the hero for such a reason?"
Tian Zhong said in a strange tone, "The eldest lady has chosen to jump out to compete for the title of hero at this time, which is a bit puzzling."
Tian Mi was more straightforward and said bluntly, not in the mood to talk nonsense, "I can't accept this reason."
Situ Wanli immediately continued to support Tian Yan, "Not necessarily."
"As the head of Lieshan Hall, it is not unreasonable for the eldest lady to inherit the will of the head of the family, and she can also continue to maintain the tradition of fierce tigers in the fields."
Tian Hu's eyes became increasingly evil.
Tian You Menghu's reputation is widely spread among farmers, but most people don't like to be ranked second, even if the first is their eldest brother.
I don't even like Tian Hu's reckless and flamboyant character.
I have been suppressed by my eldest brother for so many years, and now I finally come forward, but you tell me that you still want to continue?
Before the death of the eldest brother, I was the second child. After the death of the eldest brother, I am still the second child. Then the death of the eldest brother was not in vain!

At the same time, inside the cave.
Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang held the torches prepared in advance and walked through the deep and long mountain roads.
The ventilation of this cave seems to be pretty good, and there is no obvious peculiar smell inside.
The two walked side by side, chatting as they walked:
"This has always been a forbidden area for farm disciples. I remember when we were young, we would secretly come here to explore after practicing martial arts."
"But the hall master found out that we had disturbed the elders' Qing Dynasty and punished us by kneeling down for a whole night."
After hearing this, Wu Kuang couldn't help but have a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and said with a little emotion, "Yeah, I couldn't hold it in the middle of the night, and you knelt for four more hours for me, and even my knees were completely swollen.
Already."
The two of them are brothers who grew up together since childhood. They are not real brothers, but more like real brothers.
It can be seen from this that... a thousand pieces of friendship is indeed not worth as much as four taels of breasts.
Sheng Qi was obviously very happy after hearing Wu Kuang's response, but he acted indifferently and said casually:
"Hey, do you remember such a small thing..."
However, he did not continue to recall the past brotherhood between himself and Wu Kuang, and changed the subject:
"I didn't expect that after so many years, this place still looks like it did before, ancient and mysterious..."
"However, this time we entered the Tomb of the Six Sages as abandoned peasants."
Wu Kuang couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then said:
"The six elders are all former hall masters. Each of them is proficient in the martial arts of each hall. After entering the forbidden area, they will inherit the essence of the farmers' cultivation for thousands of years and further improve their martial arts."
"That's why this place has become a forbidden area for farm disciples."
"Ha!" Sheng Qixi laughed and told a joke, "Now that we are no longer farm disciples, maybe we are not subject to restrictions."
Wu Kuang was indeed amused when he heard Sheng Qi's sudden humor.
It wasn't because of the other person's joke, but because of the fact that Shengqi told a joke.
It has to be said that after finding his brother and getting rid of the knot that had been holding him back for so many years, Shengqi's character became more earthly.
After he finished laughing, Wu Kuang gave an equally teasing reply, "I just don't know, if I'm discovered this time, will the penalty be kneeling down?"
In fact, both of them knew that this time it would definitely not be a child's play like kneeling down.
It is a forbidden area for peasant disciples, but it is a dead place for people outside the peasant family.
No one can tell what kind of treatment they will receive now, and it will most likely not be good.
This is both a joke and a reminder.
Sheng Qi heard Wu Kuang's worries, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't worry, if you can't hold on, I'll hold on for you until the end!"
"I have enjoyed death row much longer than you have."
Hearing Sheng Qi's comfort, Wu Kuang smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
Shengqi grinned, "Haha, don't talk such nonsense between brothers!"
"Let's go!"
At this time, the two of them had almost passed through the long and narrow corridor. The exit of the passage and the huge space outside the exit loomed in their sight.
………………
Outside the cave, under the statue of Emperor Yan.
Facing Situ Wanli's challenge, Tian Hu asked with a smile:
"Brother Situ, are you telling the truth?"
Tian Hu was questioning whether Situ Wanli was determined to stand with Tian Yan.
Situ Wanli coughed lightly and expressed his attitude and position without hesitation, "I gave up the Zhu family for the sake of Miss Lieshan Hall."
As a gambler, you should never hesitate when placing your bets.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Tian Zhong came out to smooth things over:
"The matter is so important that differences of opinion are inevitable."
"How about this. Let's hold the Flame Emperor Jue again and make a fair decision, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony."
Tian Hu had no objection to this proposal and directly followed through on it:
"Okay, let's do it."
"Let's vote directly this time, and we can avoid all the red tape."
Even though Situ Wanli defected, his side still had the advantage with three votes, and Tian Hu would certainly not refuse.
This is also the reason why Tian Zhong said that Tian Yan's competition for the top hero at this time is a bit inexplicable.
Even if you win over Situ Wanli, you only have the power of two people. What can you do if you jump back at this time?
You can't really break up with your second uncle and start filming on the spot with others under the statue of the ancestor of Emperor Yan, right?
Isn't this just fooling around?
Tian Hu's voice continued, "Tell me, who do you support?"
Tian Zhong was the first to express his loyalty, "Of course it's you, the second boss."
Tian Mi also expressed her stance, "I am very loyal to the second boss."
Situ Wanli glanced at Tian Yan and raised his fist towards Tian Hu, "Second Master, I'm sorry. I still vote for the eldest lady."
Tian Hu was very unhappy about the fact that someone dared to challenge him, but now was not the time to get angry. Tian Hu just wanted to confirm the position of the hero as soon as possible. He said impatiently:
"Now it's three versus two, Ayan, you lose."
Tian Yan said calmly, "With all due respect, one of the three votes supporting the second uncle is problematic."
As soon as these words came out, Tian Zhong and Tian Mixin both mentioned it.
The one with the problem that Tian Yan said couldn't be Tian Hu, it could only be the two of them.
The key is that the two of them do have a problem, they just don't know who Tian Yan is talking about.
Tian Hu didn't understand at all, so he glared and asked, "What's wrong with the tickets?"
Is it possible that the position of Tian Zhongtian Mi as the hall leader is fake?
Tian Yanwei explained, "The reason why Liutang fell apart and the reason why Lieshan Hall suffered tragic changes is, in the final analysis, because the empire is stirring up trouble and intensifying conflicts behind the scenes."
"And one of the current hall masters is a traitor who colludes with the empire!"
"How can a hall master with double intentions be qualified to vote in the Flame Emperor Jue?"
Tian Hu frowned, his eyes quickly swept over Tian Zhong and Tian Mi on both sides of him, and then asked solemnly:
"Who? Where's the evidence?"
Tian Hu did not object to Tian Yan's statement that the traitor hall leader's vote was invalid.
Tian Hu is a relatively traditional Jianghu person and has a low tolerance for betrayal. He can still tolerate someone like Situ Wanli who rebelled during internal struggles in the farm family.
But he couldn't stand it anymore for the two devils who really betrayed the farmers' interests.
Tian Yan waved and called Ah Ci, who was chasing butterflies from behind:
"Aci!"
"Sister!" Upon hearing Tian Yan's call, Ah Ci immediately came over with a playful smile.
"Tell sister, where is the person who went with you to chase that chubby uncle who could change his face now?" Tian Yan asked directly without talking nonsense.
When Tian Yan asked this, Ah Ci couldn't help but shudder. On the one hand, it was because of Wu Kuang's face-breaking operation before, and on the other hand, it was also because he was locked there and couldn't move for a long time.
Then he danced and gestured and replied, "That person's face can be torn off, how scary it is!"
"Lao Jin..." Tian Hu murmured thoughtfully, and then looked at Tian Zhong with sharp eyes.
The so-called "tearing off one's face", when he heard it, he knew that he was wearing a human skin mask.
So why did Mr. Jin wear a human skin mask to disguise his identity?
He is the director of Gonggongtang, so naturally he has to ask Tian Zhong this question.
Sensing Tian Hu's gaze, the pressure in Tian Zhong's heart suddenly increased.
He didn't expect that Tian Yan's target was him, and he didn't expect that it was Mr. Jin who had the problem.
That guy actually wore a mask... This is no longer important. What's important is why did that guy expose himself last night?
Where have they gone?
Just as Tian Zhong was frantically thinking about how to explain himself, Tian Yan's questions continued:
"Besides this? What else did that man do?"
"Oh..." Azhi licked his fingers and thought for a moment, then pointed at Tian Mi, "After that strange man tore off his face, this aunt was particularly scared."
"Hehe, she is even more timid than Azhi. She was so scared that she wanted to run away."
