Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

"If Tian Meng is not lying, then your leader Tian Guang is probably dead."

"As far as I know, he previously summoned the top leaders of your six branches of the Farmer's Clan, urging you to defect to the Qin state. Tian Meng probably didn't want this to happen, since he had already submitted to Qin's net. If you also defected to Qin, he would have a hard time finding a place to stay there. Therefore, he had Tian Hu incite conflict between Qin and the Farmer's Clan..."

"And naturally, Tian Hu's actions could not be kept secret from Tian Guang."

"Faced with Tian Guang as an obstacle, Tian Meng only has one choice..."

Xu Qing continued recounting the information he had previously gleaned from Tian Meng's mind, regardless of whether the Zhu family and others believed his claims.

Chapter 299 Commanding the Farmers!

What choice should Tian Meng make?

They want farmhouses to exist, but they don't want them to live too well.

Therefore, naturally, the only option was to manipulate Tian Hu to attack the Qin government, thereby inciting conflict between the peasants and the Qin state. However, this action would bring destruction to the peasants.

That's why all these things have happened today.

Combining Tian Meng's previous words and actions, everything makes sense.

However, there is still a crucial issue in this process.

That was the whereabouts of the chivalrous leader Tian Guang.

With the appearance of the Shennong Decree, the farming community is in turmoil. Furthermore, the Qin army is stationed in Siji Town and may march towards Daze Mountain at any time. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xia Kui to be completely unaware and do nothing.

The fact that they are unable to do anything and have not shown up can only mean one thing.

That means something has happened to the leader of the knights.

Upon realizing this, the surviving members of the farming family all looked very grim.

"The leader of the heroes..." Big Iron Hammer murmured to himself.

He owed Tian Guang many favors. After he fled Yan State in a panic, it was Tian Guang who took him in and later, despite opposition, appointed him as the head of Kuiwei Hall.

Now that he has learned that someone who has done him so much kindness may have gotten into trouble, Big Hammer is feeling quite sad.

A somber atmosphere spread among the farmers.

Then, their gazes all fell on Tian Meng and Tian Hu on the ground.

Without a doubt, if the leader of the bandits were to perish, it would definitely be related to these two brothers.

"Tian Meng!"

On Zhu Jia's face, the expression quickly changed, from initial sadness to anger.

He flashed and appeared in front of Tian Meng.

Then, his short body shook Tian Meng's burly frame. "Wake up right now!"

After being jolted awake by the Zhu family, Tian Meng did indeed wake up, but he didn't feel very well after waking up.

Not only was his body completely limp, but his internal energy, which he had cultivated for many years, seemed to have vanished completely. His head was throbbing with pain, as if someone had been stirring something in his head with an iron pestle.

The former is Xu Qing's sealing technique, while the latter is a side effect of Xu Qing reading his memories.

He's already lucky that he didn't become an idiot like the former Korean Red Owl.

"The Zhu family!"

Upon waking up, Tian Meng, despite his various negative states, quickly came to his senses and looked at the Zhu family in front of him with a resentful expression.

He had always looked down on the Zhu family.

Even though the Zhu family had previously displayed sword techniques they had never shown before, Tian Meng did not take them seriously.

In Tian Meng's view, there is only one winner today, and that is him, Tian Meng.

As it turned out, the Zhu family stood before him as victors, while he suffered a complete defeat.

I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled!

"Tian Meng, what happened to Xia Kui?"

Even though their previous words had vaguely revealed some information, such as that Xia Kui couldn't come, the Zhu family still wanted to hear what Tian Meng had to say for themselves.

"A chivalrous leader?" Tian Meng sneered. "Even now, do you still consider someone like that to be a chivalrous leader?"

"The leader of the Xia clan is the common leader of our peasant family, why would I not acknowledge him?" Zhu Jia retorted to Tian Meng's words.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll tell you!" Meeting the Zhu family's gaze, Tian Meng knew his chances were slim and decided to stop pretending. "Tian Guang is dead!"

A smug smile reappeared on his lips.

"I killed him!"

Thus, the matter of the Shennong Decree has finally been resolved.

Xu Qing had previously learned the truth from Tian Meng's memories, but the effect of hearing Tian Guang's death from him was completely different from hearing it from Tian Meng.

Even though Tian Meng didn't say much, the Zhu family and others were able to deduce more from this information.

If the leader of the heroes was killed by Tian Meng, then the Shennong Token could only have been issued by Tian Meng.

This also explains why the leader of the Xia clan did not appear, but instead Tian Meng appeared with the body of the Luo Wang organization.

"why?"

The Zhu family remained silent for a long time before finally managing to ask Tian Meng these three words.

"Why? Didn't I already tell you the answer?"

Tian Meng didn't deny it; he simply said it.

The feelings of the Zhu family and others became complicated once again.

They didn't know whether they should believe Tian Meng's words, because if what Tian Meng said was true, then Xia Kui was the one who pushed the peasant family into an abyss of no return.

If he hadn't ordered Tian Meng to assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin, Tian Meng wouldn't have betrayed the peasant family, and this calamity wouldn't have happened.

No, even if Tian Meng did not betray the peasant family.

If he had actually assassinated King Ying Zheng of Qin, the Qin state would certainly not have let the peasant family off the hook once it learned of it.

This is a deadly predicament brought about by the chivalrous leader.

But why would the leader of the knights do this?

He had previously encouraged them to seek refuge with the Qin state.

Upon realizing this, the Zhu family understood.

The mysterious masked man who turned the tide might know something, which is why he specifically mentioned the leader's... "last wish" in his earlier words!

Regardless of whether Tian Meng's words were true or false, they had not personally experienced those inside stories.

But there were some things they had heard the leader of the knights say.

Therefore, Zhu Jia immediately retorted, "Even at this point, do you still want to slander the Heroic Leader?"

"Tian Meng, you are truly despicable!"

"Previously, when Qin recruited us, Xia Kui told us to join Qin and serve Qin."

"On the contrary, it was you who deliberately sabotaged this matter, which is why my family has fallen into such a predicament."

"You even murdered the leader of the bandits! You truly deserve to die!"

Zhu Jia's words were spoken in a loud voice, and after they reached everyone's ears, everyone realized what he meant.

Yes! How could a chivalrous leader harm farmers?

This must all be slander by Tian Meng.

Tian Meng is the sinner.

The survivors looked at Tian Meng with eyes full of resentment.

Putting aside everything else, just consider that Tian Meng killed Xia Kui, and his crime deserves to be punished!

"Brother, if we are willing to follow the leader's last wish, can you avert this calamity?"

Situ Wanli looked at Xu Qing with a complicated expression and asked.

He was quick-witted and remembered what Xu Qing had said earlier: whether or not he could save the farmers depended on whether they were willing to accept the chivalrous leader's last wish.

Since the leader's dying wish was for them to side with the Qin state, how would Xu Qing resolve these troubles if they were willing to accept it?

The Qin army is stationed abroad.

There are even more assassins from the Luo Wang organization within.

Although these assassins from the Luo Wang organization have been defeated, this does not mean that the calamity of the Farmers is over.

At most, they just had a little more time to talk temporarily.

Situ Wanli's words were equally loud.

He once again drew everyone's attention back to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing did not hide anything and said truthfully, "As long as you are willing to follow the last wish of the chivalrous leader, I can help you resolve the conflict with the Qin Kingdom."

"The Qin army will not march on your peasant homes!"

"Why are you so confident?" Zhu Jia couldn't help but ask Xu Qing after hearing this.

"Just because I brought the King of Qin's edict!" Xu Qing said calmly, uttering another earth-shattering statement.

Is the person before me related to the King of Qin?

Does that mean that the person in front of us is also someone with ill intentions, plotting against the farmers?

They had no choice but to think that way.

The reason is that, because of Tian Meng, the farmers suffered extremely heavy casualties today.

But then, some people felt relieved.

Even if the person in front of them is related to the King of Qin, they still have to be indebted to that person.

If it weren't for this person, all of them would have perished here.

Afterwards, Tian Meng will lead his men to advocate the peasant school, and the vast peasant school will fall into Tian Meng's hands.
