Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

For some people, the meaning is understandable.

Many people believe that what happened at Kuiwei Hall was due to Chen Sheng's utterly despicable act of trying to possess Tian Mi, which led to all the turmoil.

But in Xu Qing's words, it was a tragedy.

Xu Qing, have you noticed anything?

After receiving the letter, Situ Wanli immediately began to ponder it.

After the tragedy at Kuiwei Hall, he instinctively sensed something was wrong because he was familiar with Chen Sheng and knew his character; Chen Sheng would never do such a thing.

The Zhu family practiced the art of "a thousand faces for a thousand people" and also possessed the method of "three hearts and two minds," giving them an extraordinary ability to understand people's hearts.

Ordinary people only thought that Chen Sheng's outwardly generous appearance was a disguise, and that he was actually despicable at heart. But the Zhu family knew that this was Chen Sheng's true nature.

In addition, Chen Sheng had always claimed innocence after he was captured.

With this suspicion in mind, Zhu Jia secretly intervened and helped Chen Sheng escape death and flee the farm.

After that, he secretly investigated the truth of what happened back then.

Unfortunately, although he was the head of Shennong Hall, the matter occurred within Kuiwei Hall. Even he couldn't interfere too much in the internal affairs of Kuiwei Hall, and many details were beyond his investigation.

Therefore, this matter could only remain a knot in his heart, buried deep within him.

Now, Mr. Xu Qing, who lives outside the rural community, suddenly sent him such a letter.

This inevitably caused the Zhu family to have some concerns.

Without a doubt, the great swordsman and Xu Qing had a close relationship. This was no secret. The events in Yan Kingdom were widely known in the martial arts world. It was a case of a martial artist directly attacking and killing a king of a kingdom, and then calmly escaping from the encirclement and attack of the Yan Kingdom army.

For many people, they simply don't know who Sword Maniac Xu Qing is.

As for this matter, the Zhu family, who had personally dealt with Xu Qing, were naturally well aware of it; they knew very well what kind of person Xu Qing was.

Although very young, he is exceptionally talented and shrouded in an air of mystery.

His sword-making skills were unparalleled in the world.

The chivalrous leader valued the other party highly and had been trying to bring him into the farmhouse.

The Zhu family was certainly aware of the current turmoil at Kuiwei Hall.

Xia Kui favored Da Tiechui, while the Tian brothers, Tian Meng and Tian Hu, supported Tian Mi.

Either of these two sides could become the leader of the knights.

Now, Xu Qing, who is valued by the leader of the chivalrous sect and lives outside the farming community, suddenly had Situ Wanli send him such a letter. Is this done at the behest of the leader of the chivalrous sect?

In any case, upon seeing the words "a true man" in the letter, Zhu Jia understood Xu Qing's thoughts, and he was naturally happy to support Da Tiechui becoming the head of the Kuiwei Hall.

Just as he knew Chen Sheng's character.

He could also tell that Tian Mi was not as innocent as she appeared on the surface.

This woman's scheming is far more profound than I imagined.

Her becoming the head of the Kuiwei Hall is definitely not a good thing.

After the Zhu family made up their minds, a turbulent situation arose within the peasant family.

Under Situ Wanli's guidance, Big Iron Hammer quickly gained immense prestige within the Kuiwei Hall.

The great swordsman was a master who had made a name for himself throughout the land.

After joining the Kuiwei Hall, he completed many challenging tasks and established a considerable reputation within the hall. However, because he had only been in the hall for a short time, his foundation was not yet very solid.

However, under Situ Wanli's money-spraying tactics, this lack of foundation was quickly made up for.

After all, it's a means of taking advantage of people.

The greatswordsmen truly brought them many benefits.

The lower-level disciples benefited, and having eaten their fill, they naturally remembered the benefits of the great swordsmen.

In comparison, Tian Mi is a woman and can't bring them any benefits, so why should they support her as the head of the hall?

Some people hesitated to support Tian Mi before, simply because they felt sorry for her.

But now, they've come to their senses.

Even if the other person is beautiful, what good is pitying them?

It neither brings them any benefit nor allows them to have any fun.

Tian Mi, as one of the parties involved, quickly noticed the shift in the direction of Kuiwei Hall.

"How could this be?"

Why would those people support a brute?

Inside the Lieshan Hall, Tian Mi found Tian Meng and expressed her confusion to him.

"It's Situ Wanli!"

Tian Meng's expression was cold and not very pleasant as he explained the specific reasons.

For Tian Mi, becoming the head of the Kuiwei Hall was also beneficial.

She could be his help; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to support Tian Mi. Was he just after her good looks?

He also knew about Xia Kui's support for Da Tiechui, and he naturally rebuked Xia Kui for his unwiseness. After all, Da Tiechui was just an outsider, while Tian Mi was a member of the Tian clan.

But he only dared to think about it in his heart; openly, he naturally couldn't question the leader of the knights.

In any case, the Farmer's Clan is a very fair sect. When selecting a hall master, the most important thing is to consider the wishes of the disciples in the hall. The inclination of the chivalrous leader can only be used as a reference.

"Why did Situ Wanli help Big Iron Hammer?" Tian Mi asked, puzzled after learning the reason.

"I also want to know about this matter." Tian Meng's voice was icy. After Situ Wanli became the head of the Four Mountains Hall, he also showed goodwill towards him. On the surface, Situ Wanli seemed to be very pragmatic and willing to form an alliance with him. But now it seems that this person has other intentions.

"That's quite a generous gesture!"

Thinking of what he had learned from his investigation, Tian Meng sneered.

Situ Wanli spent a lot of money to bribe many disciples of the Kuiwei Hall to garner votes for Da Tiechui.

This is no small sum of money.

Is that big iron hammer Situ Wanli's own brother or son?

It's worth the effort.

"However, becoming the head of the Kuiwei Hall isn't just about having money; you also need seniority!"

After explaining the situation to Tian Mi, Tian Meng then spoke to her.

Big Iron Hammer's qualifications are clearly not stable enough. Although he has Situ Wanli's support, Situ Wanli himself is only a newly promoted hall master.

As for Tian Meng, he was a veteran hall master and still had a lot of influence in the peasant family.

Chapter 204 Sending Yan Dan to Qin!

While it's true that one is obligated to accept gifts, it would be far too hasty to promote a brute like Big Hammer to the position of hall master.

After accepting the "benefits" from Tian Mi, Tian Meng immediately stepped forward as the head of Lieshan Hall and began to explain: "Da Tiechui has only been in the Farmer's Clan for a short time. His previous promotion was already exceptional. Now he wants to take the lead of a hall in one step? He is still too inexperienced and needs more time to mature before he can succeed."

Before he could finish speaking, Tian Hu chimed in, and the two brothers took turns speaking, turning their attention entirely to Tian Mi: "Although Miss Mi is a girl, she grew up in a farming family. Every blade of grass and every tree in Kuiwei Hall is in her heart. In terms of familiarity, no one can match her. When choosing a hall master, the farming family should prioritize someone who knows the background well, so that they can manage the disciples in the hall well."

If Da Tiechui had only Situ Wanli supporting him, the situation might have truly reversed under the combined pressure from the Tian brothers. But at this critical moment, the Zhu family stepped forward.

In terms of experience as a farmer, he was no less experienced than Tian Meng; in terms of reputation, his philanthropy was renowned throughout the six halls, and he was a universally recognized person of high moral character and prestige.

"You are all mistaken!" Zhu Jia's voice was clear and resounding. "How can one judge whether someone is qualified to be a hall master by seniority? The world is in chaos now. Even the ancient state of Han, with its centuries-old heritage, has fallen. If the Farmer's Clan wants to survive in this chaotic world, the only way is to know how to use people wisely. The Great Swordsman was personally recruited into the Farmer's Clan by the Heroic Leader, who intended for him to shoulder heavy responsibilities. He has recently completed several difficult missions, and his abilities are clear to everyone. Moreover, all the lower-level disciples of the Kuiwei Hall are loyal to him. Do you really want to prevent him from taking the position just because a few higher-level disciples are dissatisfied?"

At this point, Zhu Jia glanced at the Tian brothers, his words laced with sarcasm: "The Farmer's School belongs to thousands of disciples, not to a few individuals!"

Although these words were not explicitly stated, they struck at the heart of the Tian clan. Every disciple in the hall knew that the Tian clan had already taken control of the Lieshan and Chiyou halls, and now they wanted to push Tian Mi to take charge of the Kuiwei hall, clearly intending to monopolize the power of the peasant family.

Zhu Jia's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly bringing the hidden conflicts within the farming community to the forefront.

The conflict between the Tian family and the disciples from other families suddenly intensified. Fortunately, the number of disciples from other families was already greater, and with the Zhu family and Situ Wanli making public statements, the situation quickly turned in favor of Da Tiechui.

In contrast, Tian Mi, apart from being slightly more senior, has neither strength nor courage. The sympathy she used to gain by relying on her weak appearance has become a fatal flaw in this chaotic time of choosing a leader. What the peasants want is a leader who can handle things, not a weak woman who needs protection.

Situ Wanli and Zhu Jia stood behind Da Tiechui one after the other, which can be said to have made up for Da Tiechui's last shortcoming.

His only weakness was his shallow foundation and few supporters.

But now, with the support of two more branch leaders, it means that he has many people standing behind him.

Another point is that he is a person from a different family.

Those non-family members from farming families who disliked the Tian clan were all Da Tiechui's supporters.

Although there is another Gonggongtang in the middle, it has not made a statement.

But the opinion of Gonggongtang is no longer important.

The important thing is that the current sledgehammer has already overpowered Tian Mi.

Of course, even if Big Iron Hammer has the advantage, it doesn't mean he can directly become the head of Kuiwei Hall.

This matter still needs to be decided by the leader of the knights.

Meanwhile, turmoil is brewing again in the countryside, while the chivalrous leader Tian Guang is enjoying a life of luxury in the Yan Kingdom.

Because he saved King Xi of Yan, he finally managed to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Yan state and enjoy wealth and honor.

However, Tian Guang did not forget that he had a mission to fulfill.

Therefore, he enjoyed this wealth and honor with a critical mindset, inwardly criticizing the extravagant lifestyle of the Yan royal family.

At the same time, he won the trust of King Xi of Yan through his wisdom and strategy.

That day, Tian Guang took the initiative to ask King Xi of Yan about the general situation of the world: "Qin has destroyed Han, and the world order has changed dramatically. What does Your Majesty think Yan should do?"

King Xi of Yan paused abruptly, his expression complex: "The fall of Han is a great loss to me, but as you know, Yan is no longer what it was during King Zhao's reign. Its national strength is weak, and what can it do against the powerful Qin?"

"No, there are still some things that can be done!" Tian Guang said solemnly, as if he were genuinely offering advice and suggestions to Prince Yan.

"Does Mr. Tian Guang mean to suggest uniting with the other countries to form an alliance?" King Xi of Yan frowned. After the fall of Han, the idea of ​​an alliance had been mentioned in the court.

However, King Xi of Yan did not hold much hope for the alliance.

In previous alliances, although the State of Yan was separated from the State of Qin by the vast State of Zhao and did not directly border Qin, it still chose to participate.
