Chapter 207 Lord of Jixia
The land of Qilu, the Mohist stronghold.
When Li Ji and others arrived, the scene was very chaotic. A huge machine white tiger was guarding the stronghold. The farmer's disciples were densely packed and surrounded, but they had no plans to attack for the time being.
The leader was Tian Meng, the leader of the farmhouse Lieshan Hall. He crossed his shoulders as if waiting for something.
The Mo family's reinforcements did not surprise Tian Meng. The news from the front came and Tian Hu could not stop them.
Tian Meng had no intention of starting a fight with the Mo family outside, but instead easily allowed the hundreds of Mo heroes to enter the stronghold and join forces with the Mo family disciples inside.
Qin Wuyang and other young disciples told the stronghold's commanding master the information they had obtained, and he had a look of confusion on his face.
"The commander-in-chief injured a member of the Tian family?"
"According to what the peasant disciples who stopped us said, this is indeed the case. They still have the dragon gauze mask left by the great commander in their hands."
"This is impossible!" Master Ban was very sure. "After the commander-in-chief left Qin, he stayed at the Mohist Guild Hall in Xinzheng. How could he possibly injure a member of the Tian family?"
At this moment, Master Ban looked at Li Ji and asked.
"You say so, Li Ji!"
Li Ji nodded. The time didn't match up. According to the peasant disciple they captured, they learned from his mouth that Zhao Shuang was at the Mo Family Guild Hall when the member of the Tian family was injured.
How could this place of thousands of miles be moved so easily?
"Yes, the commander-in-chief has been at the Mohist Guild Hall during this period. It is impossible for him to go to Qilu Land and hurt the peasants."
Master Ben nodded and his expression softened a lot.
"Since it is a misunderstanding, then just explain it clearly. The Mohist family and the farmer family have always been in conflict with each other, so there is no need to go to war over a misunderstanding."
"Commander, wait a moment."
Li Ji stopped Master Ban who was about to walk out. Her actions made those present a little confused.
"I'm afraid things are not that simple. Tian Meng is not a fool. He sent people to block our reinforcements. After the failure, he did not get angry and attack the Mohist stronghold. Instead, he surrounded and refused to attack. Obviously he had his own considerations and would not take it lightly. Accept our version of events.”
The Mohist disciples present seemed a little stunned when they heard Li Ji's words. They have never seen such a smart side of Li Ji.
Master Ban did not look down upon Li Ji's words, but he still had some worry on his face.
"In this stronghold, there are many drawings of mechanism techniques and parts of mechanism beasts. They must not be leaked out. If the farmers attack, it will be difficult to preserve these things in the chaos."
"Then burn them all!"
Li Ji's determination obviously surprised everyone present.
"Burn them all?"
Master Ban feels a little distressed, there is a lot of his own hard work in this!
Jing Ke looked at Li Ji, why had she changed so much? Li Ji, who used to be so gentle that she would even feel sorry for an injured little rabbit, not only killed several people without changing her expression in the battle with the farmer not long ago, but now she is so decisive.
Who influenced her?
"If it is not burned and left outside, it will not be a good thing for our Mo family."
There was sweat on Master Ben's face. He wiped it away, but he was still a little reluctant.
"Let's talk to the farmers first. Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang, come with me."
"promise!"
Master Ban was not a fool either. He went out to negotiate with the farmers and called the two most skilled disciples in the Mo family stronghold.
"Master Tian Meng!"
Master Ban appeared in front of Tian Meng with a smile and held his hand in front of him. The other party also opened his eyes and returned the greeting without intending to quarrel.
Among the green mountains and trees, autumn is about to end, and winter is coming, with a bit of bone-chilling chill.
Master Ban revealed everything he knew and wanted to prove Zhao Shuang's innocence, but he heard him chuckle and take out the dragon gauze mask.
"You just said that anyone can wear this mask. Very few people in this world have seen the true face of the leader of the Mohist family. Who can prove that the one in the Mohist guild hall is the real person?"
Tian Meng's words left Master Ban at a loss for words, so he continued.
"During the assassination, my Tian family members saw clearly the true face of the assassin. As long as the leader of the Mo family is willing to reveal his true identity, the misunderstanding between the two families will naturally be resolved. I am waiting here to seek justice."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to get this justice."
As soon as he said this, everyone turned around and saw Zhao Shuang coming.
"Great Commander!"
The disciples of the Mo family all went to benefit, and Li Ji, who was in the stronghold, watched this scene from top to bottom, gritting her teeth.
"He was indeed following behind."
Seeing his arrogance, Tian Meng didn't show any courtesy and just asked.
"What do you think of my opinion, Commander-in-Chief?"
"I heard everything you just said. In order to resolve the dispute between the two families, this request does not seem excessive."
"Then you agree?"
Tian Meng didn't expect that the leader of the Mohist family was so easy to talk to, but his next words made Tian Meng very angry.
"I disagree."
"you!"
Zhao Shuang smiled, spread his hands, and asked.
"You said that a member of your Tian family was stabbed, and the murderer was wearing a dragon silk mask. Who can prove it? What's more, even if this is true, how can you implicate my Mo family with just a mask? If any force in the world follows what Hall Master Tian did today and casually takes an object and says it was made by our Mo family, then won’t our Mo family never have peace?"
Tian Meng's expression changed, and his small eyes narrowed. As expected, this leader of the Mo family was difficult to deal with.
"What if I could prove it?"
At this sound, the peasant disciples parted ways, bowed their heads one after another, and held courtesies very respectfully.
"This is the younger brother of the current King of Qi, Tianjia!"
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with a majestic look on his face.
"Why does the young master want to get involved in the Jianghu matter?"
"Because the injured person is a member of my Tian family, and the assassin was also injured by me and escaped!"
"I heard that the Jixia soldiers commanded by the young master are the most elite force in Qi. They can even compete with Luo Wang. There is no doubt about their strength. So was the young master the only one present that night?"
Tian Jia didn't know what Zhao Shuang meant, so he nodded, but Zhao Shuang smiled.
"There are so many people in the world who want to know my true identity, but you are just the master of Jixia, and you can't afford it."
"What did you say!"
Just when Tian Meng thought that the leader of the Moh family had gone crazy, Zhao Shuang stepped forward, flashed, and struck Tian Jia with a palm.
The other party did not avoid it, but extended his palm to face it. The strong internal energy shook the surroundings, and the trees rustled.
The battle between the two did not last long, and it stopped briefly. When he closed his palms, Tian Jia took a step back.
"How brave, how dare you be rude to the young master!"
Tianjia's bodyguard was about to step forward, but he stopped him.
"If it was really me who assassinated me that night, then there's no way the young master could have injured me, let alone anything else?"
Tian Jia saw Zhao Shuang close at hand, and after a while, he smiled.
"What a great leader of the Mo family!"
After saying that, Tian Jiu led the people away, leaving a somewhat bewildered Tian Meng standing there, a little embarrassed. In the end, he still took people away.
