"Hey, I came a little late and kept Xia Kui waiting for a long time."
Zhu Jia stepped forward, holding his fists and apologizing with a smile on his face.
"You're welcome, Hall Master Zhu came on time." Ayan nodded slightly in response and exchanged simple greetings.
"Hey, I've met Xiakui."
The two bosses greeted each other, and Liu Jicai smiled and gave Ayan a fist salute, and received the same nod in response.
"Xia Kui called me here urgently, is there something important?" After finishing the nonsense, the Zhu family asked straight to the point without going around in circles.
When Ayan heard this, he was not polite and asked, "Hasn't Hall Master Zhu always wanted to know the whereabouts of Hall Master Chen Sheng and Director Wu Kuang of Kuei Hall?"
The eyes under the Zhu family mask froze, and then he replied with a smile, "Xia Kui is willing to tell me, Lao Zhu?"
"I kept hiding Hall Master Zhu before because of the safety of Hall Master Chen Sheng and Manager Wu Kuang. I hope you will forgive me." A Yan first explained his concealment.
The Zhu family immediately responded cheerfully, "Easy to say, easy to say, I understand."
Whether he really understands or not, he can only say he understands.
Ayan didn't care, and briefly stated how she sold Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang to Luo Wang, and how Zhao Gao sold him to Lishan Mountain to build the imperial mausoleum.
The Zhu family was calm throughout the whole process, as if they didn't care at all that their ally was betrayed.
Liu Ji was quite unhappy, his eyes widened, and he wanted to say something several times.
However, under the Zhu family's signal, he finally restrained himself.
After Ayan finished speaking, the Zhu family asked calmly, "I wonder what Xiakui's purpose was in selling Chen Sheng and the others?"
Ayan replied calmly, "Before I took over as the leader of heroes, Hall Master Chen Sheng once asked me to find the missing former leader of heroes, Tian Guang. What I did was precisely to fulfill this request."
"Tian Guang Xiakui..." The Zhu family mask changed and cut into yellow 'le' noodles, "So, Tian Guang Xiakui is in the hands of the snare?"
"Um!?"
Liu Ji, who was confused by Ayan's answer, was even more dizzy when he heard his boss's guess, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Ayan was very calm and said, "The Master of the Zhu family is indeed a wise man from my farm family. His thinking is quick and he guessed it right at once."
"As far as I know, the person who is most likely to know the whereabouts of Tian Guang Xiakui is Luo Wen, and he is probably near Lishan Mountain."
"So, you sell Chen Sheng and the others to Luo Wen, and then Zhao Gao sends them to Lishan to trace the traces of Tian Guang Xiakui..." Zhu Jia twisted the beard on his mask and made a conclusion about the whole plan.
Conclusion, but questions also arise.
This question even occurred to Liu Ji, whose CPU was spinning rapidly and smoking.
"No, how can you guarantee that Zhao Gao will send Hall Master Chen Sheng and others to Lishan Mountain instead of directly killing them on the spot or imprisoning them somewhere else?"
Ayan replied very bachelorly, "I can't guarantee it."
"Ah!?" Liu Ji's face twitched, "Then...then isn't this gambling with the lives of Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others? It's still a bet with little chance of winning..."
"I won't mess with the lives of farm brothers, especially the lives of a hall master and a general manager, but this matter does require risks." Ayan explained for himself, "Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others want an answer.
They must bear this risk - if possible, of course I am willing to bear it on their behalf, after all, this is also my promise."
"But it's a pity that I have no choice, so the risk can only be borne by Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others."
The Zhu family raised their hands to comfort Liu Ji who was still wanting to speak, and asked personally, "I can understand Xia Kui's risky move, but I really can't think of any reason why Zhao Gao would deliberately kill Chen Sheng if there were no external factors to intervene.
Brother, are they going to lock up the Imperial Tomb of Lishan Mountain where they might come into contact with Tian Guang Xiakui?"
Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang fell into the trap. Zhao Gao might directly kill him, or he might temporarily imprison him for follow-up.
As the hall master and general manager of Kuei Hall, their value is not low, and there is a high probability that they will not be killed directly.
Therefore, if you gamble between killing or not killing, the probability of survival is still very high. "Tian Yan" is willing to gamble, which seems reasonable to the Zhu family.
But where people are imprisoned is completely out of control.
Ayan also knew this, so she had already made a series of plans to guide Zhao Gao to finally do this.
First of all, Tian Guang is no longer in the hands of the snare, but under the control of Liusha.
At that time, Gu Xun considered that he might be very valuable, so he specially asked people to arrest him, and he was still hidden enough.
But at the beginning, Tian Guang, who Gu Xun thought was useful, kept him under wraps... but was forgotten by Gu Xun.
It wasn't that he didn't remember such a person at all, but Gu Xun found that he wouldn't be able to use Tian Guang for a long time, so he put it aside.
At this point, the peasant hero Kui Tian Guang mysteriously disappeared and disappeared for more than ten years.
Zhao Gao has always been curious about Tian Guang's whereabouts, and has already suspected Liusha - Zhao Gao has no evidence, but it seems that there is no other force besides Liusha who can do this and keep it a secret.
Some time before the Battle of Daze Mountain, Gu Xun felt that the time was right and it was time to play the card Tian Guang had hidden for many years.
Then his good daughter gave him the whole job.
Gu Xun simply gave up his original plan and made extremely conservative arrangements for the farm affairs, leaving the rest to Ayan and the others.
Ayan's first step was to move Tian Guang to Lishan Mountain to hide, and deliberately left some clues for the snare.
At that time, the farmhouse was already in a state of turmoil. It was normal for Liusha to try to use Xia Kui Tian Guang as an opportunity to break into the farmhouse, and Zhao Gao had no reason to doubt it.
In addition, Ayan, a second-year-old boy, was personally responsible for the plot, and the clues were hidden very secretly. Normally, there would be no flaws in the whole process.
Zhao Gao wants to find out something is wrong, unless he knows that Quexie is a spy...or relies on his sixth sense?
In short, there is no reliable possibility.
Just as Ayan judged, Zhao Gao took the bait and began to pay attention to the situation on Lishan Mountain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, he also maintained the greatest degree of restraint.
As the power of Liusha continued to shrink, Zhao Gao acted more and more radically and boldly, but he still did not dare to openly and openly stroke Gu Xun's tiger beard, especially near Xianyang.
Although he was deeply trusted by Ying Zheng, the more he became like this, the more he knew that he could not cause trouble for Gu Xun under Ying Zheng's nose - he knew very well that what he did was not on the table, and once it happened,
After being exposed, Ying Zheng was the first to spare him.
Ying Zheng only favored Zhao Gao, not fell in love with Zhao Gao, and did not have that much tolerance for him.
So he was very careful and restrained in Lishan's actions.
As a result, there has been little gain - Ayan has also made some preparations to hinder him. Zhao Gaozhen cannot find Tian Guang in a short time.
Then the chaos broke out in the peasant family, the Battle of Daze Mountain broke out, and the situation in the peasant family settled down.
The final result was not the most favorable to Zhao Gao, but it was not bad either. At least the new peasant hero was Luo Wang's "one of his own".
However, a new problem arises from this - the former hero Tian Guang has become a hidden danger.
Although a former hero who has been missing for more than ten years - even if he had a high prestige before his disappearance, compared with the current hero who led the peasant family to defeat the powerful enemy of the empire and has monopolized power, who is more popular among the peasant disciples?
It's hard to say.
From an objective evaluation, the new hero leader Tian Yan is more popular among the grassroots disciples, while the old hero leader Tian Guang is more convinced by the middle and senior leaders in the sixth farm of the farm.
Considering the results, even if Tian Guang reappears in the world, it is unlikely that the rule of the new hero Tian Yan will be shaken, but it is not impossible.
If the probability is not zero, then it is possible, not to mention that the possibility is not particularly low.
Although for Zhao Gao, 'Tian Yan' is somewhat irritating, but no matter how irritating he is, he is still one of his own.
He certainly cannot accept that the rule of his own people on the farm family is affected.
So now he is even more eager to get Tian Guang.
Whether to kill or to stay can be discussed later, but the person must not be left in the hands of quicksand, otherwise it will be a bomb buried inside the farmhouse that may explode at any time.
Then, Ayan sent Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang to Zhao Gao, and also used the pretext of retrieving Tian Guang to catch them.
Theoretically, 'Tian Yan' didn't know that Luo Wang had found clues to Tian Guang's whereabouts.
At this critical moment, it seemed a coincidence that she was related to Tian Guang, but Zhao Gao still had no doubts.
Because during the whole period of the Peasant Rebellion, Ayan rarely mentioned his former hero Tian Guang. Others mentioned it, and she echoed it with a few words.
The reason why Chen Sheng and the others were tricked about Tian Guang was because Chen Sheng had been asking her to get Tian Guang back.
All in all, it was all done by others. She, Tian Yan, was pure and innocent and didn't know anything.
In the end, as Ayan expected, Zhao Gao sent Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang to Lishan to build the imperial mausoleum.
Of course, the construction of the imperial mausoleum was fake, and Zhao Gao mainly wanted to use them as a test.
Testing Tian Guang who is hiding in Lishan Mountain, testing Tian Guang in the quicksand of Lishan Mountain is also a test...'Tian Yan' - although everything is reasonable and reasonable, it does not prevent him from doing one-hand testing.
Ayan didn't care at all.
In her plan, Tian Guang was not important at all, and she would not let Liusha get involved in the future. Even if Zhao Gao tried to test him, he would not be able to find out anything.
All she wants is to let Luo Sheng and Zhao Gao personally deliver Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang to the Lishan Imperial Tomb - of course, there will be other operations later.
But she definitely couldn't tell the Zhu family this, she had to find another reason to deceive him.
It's not difficult at all. You don't have to tell any lies, you just need to hide a few... key details.
"It is not a coincidence that Zhao Gao imprisons people to do hard labor in the Imperial Tomb of Lishan Mountain, but to test me." Ayan explained lightly, "He was wary of me and worried that I had other intentions, so he used indirect channels to
Reveal Tian Guang Xiakui's whereabouts to me to test my reaction."
"He thought I didn't know, but I noticed something was wrong early."
"A test?" The Zhu family asked, "If it's a test, is Tian Guang Xiakui really in Lishan?"
"I have confirmed the information and it is accurate. Tian Guang Xiakui is in Lishan...at least he has been there before, and it hasn't been too long." Ayan answered simply without giving any more details.
The Zhu family did not inquire about the source of Ayan's intelligence, but only focused on the key points:
"Then what does Xiakui plan to do next?"
"This is exactly why I'm looking for you, Master of the Zhu Family Hall, today."
It's easy to talk to smart people. Ayan pursed his lips and smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't care about Tian Guang Xiakui's whereabouts, and I don't care."
"What did you say..." Liu Ji suddenly became anxious when he heard this.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by the Zhu family.
A Yan also pretended that Liu Ji did not exist and continued, "Recovering Tian Guang Xiakui is meaningless to today's farmers... I know what you are thinking. His return is not meaningless, at least it is not good for me.
of."
At this point, Ayan sneered, and then changed the topic, "There are only three of us here, so I think we can just open up and talk frankly."
"Recovering Tian Guang is indeed not a good thing for me. On the contrary, it may be a good thing for you in the future."
Tian Guang's return may shake Ayan's rule over the Nongjia. Once he successfully takes back part of the control of Nongjia's Sixth Hall from Ayan, it will be a good thing for the Zhu family.
The Zhu family still didn't rush to speak, and watched Ayan quietly as he continued to speak.
"But for the farmers, for the current farmers, Tian Guang Xiakui's return will definitely be of no benefit!"
"You should also know this."
Once Tian Guang returns, unless he is determined to retire and no longer care about the affairs of the world and the peasant family, otherwise the peasant family, which has just stabilized, will inevitably split again.
It's hard to say to what extent the split will be, but... it's not a good thing.
"The Little Saint's Manor, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has perished, and the mirage of the 'Sea City', which took the empire ten years of manpower and material resources to build, has gone out to sea... Everything shows that the situation in the empire is quickly heading towards chaos."
"Do you think, Hall Master Zhu, that at this time, the farm family will fall into internal fighting again?"
Facing Ayan's last question, the Zhu family was silent for a moment before slowly answering:
"Since Xiakui said that we should talk openly and honestly, I won't be lying."
"For the overall interests of the farm family, it is really not appropriate for Tian Guang Xiakui to come back at this time, but..."
Just as the Zhu family was about to turn around, Ayan interrupted him directly:
"I understand Hall Master Zhu's thoughts and concerns. In fact, I don't intend to prevent anyone from finding Tian Guang Xiakui. I just... won't put too much energy into this matter."
"If Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others can find Tian Guang Xiakui, I will be happy to see it happen, but if they fail to find the former Xiakui in time, then I can't wait for them."
"In time..." The Zhu family immediately grasped the key point and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Because the plan has changed." Ayan replied calmly, "Originally, I just followed the agreement with Hall Master Chen Sheng and sent them to Lishan, a place where it is possible to find the former Xiagui. As for whether they can find the person, it all depends on them.
Thanks to the hard work of both of you.”
"But now, we have another option, or...an opportunity."
"Oh?" Zhu's brows under the mask jumped, and he immediately became interested.
A Yanze continued, "Hall Master Zhu should be aware of the recent developments in the empire. The northern border is about to be attacked by nomadic tribes, the war in Lingnan is about to restart, and there are many major projects under construction."
"The empire's manpower is already stretched thin. For this reason, the imperial court plans to transfer some of the prisoners who built the Lishan Imperial Tomb to other places."
