Chapter 35 Tian Guang’s Plan
Time turns and it’s August.
It's midsummer, and even the country of Yan, which is famous for its cold snow, is getting hot at this time.
News came from the south a few days ago that Lu Shanlu Mu and the remaining half of the Chu State's caravan have crossed the Wei border and entered the Zhao State. I think they will be able to come back in a while.
Lu Mu said in the letter that he had just started to learn the art of mechanism. Although he could not create a mechanism beast that could be used for farming, he could still try to transform farm tools.
Lu Wei couldn't wait for their return, he had to leave for the meeting at Daze Mountain immediately.
The affairs of Lu Qiuge will be left to Yu Ye and the two of them, so there won't be any big problems.
In Jicheng, King Yan enjoys himself in the palace all day long, and Lord Yan Chun enjoys himself outside the palace all day long... Maybe he also goes to the palace to enjoy himself occasionally...
After Prince Dan entered the Qin Dynasty, he didn't know when he would be able to come back. In the eyes of many powerful people, he might not be able to come back.
Originally, in order to gain the support of the people and really wanted the Yan Kingdom to become stronger, Prince Dan still had restraints on these nobles.
Nowadays, this restraint is gone, and unscrupulous acts of robbing people of their wealth and wealth occur almost every day.
As a peasant family's sphere of influence, Lu Qiuge was ridiculed by the powerful as a group of "mud-legged people", but the "mud-legged people" still had a certain deterrent effect.
Therefore, since the beginning of the year, the number of civilians who have been robbed of their wealth and have chosen to join farm families has increased a lot.
The most noteworthy thing is that as a representative of the farmers in Jicheng City, Lu Qiuge's recent tendency to move closer to Yanchunjun's mansion has caused trouble for these powerful people.
To be precise, under Lu Wei's instructions, Lu Qiuge was indeed in contact with Yan Chunjun's mansion, but the person in contact was not Yan Chunjun himself, but the housekeeper who had hosted the banquet before!
After the last banquet, after careful investigation, it turned out that things were exactly as Lu Wei expected: there was a struggle for power and profit in Lord Yanchun's house!
As an old butler who has served Yan Chunjun for more than ten years, he was squeezed out of his second-in-command position within a year by a killer, Jueying. This made the butler full of jealousy.
This jealousy cannot be directed at Yan Chunjun, and Jueying becomes the point of bearing hatred.
However, he could not do the things that Jueying could do. On the contrary, he was responsible for the trivial matters of entertaining those powerful people, but Jueying was able to handle them with ease.
As a result, the butler's position has become increasingly embarrassing, and he has even become Jueying's deputy recently...
All matters in the house are always given by Yan Chunjun to Jueying first, and then Jueying gives orders to him...
As time went by, the housekeeper became red-eyed and urgently needed to make meritorious deeds to regain Yan Chunjun's favor.
But what can he, an old man, do?
Lu Wei accurately grasped this point and proposed cooperation with the steward during the second banquet: the disciples of Lu Qiu Pavilion can be used by the steward to a certain extent.
To this, the anxious housekeeper decisively agreed:
The reason why Jueying was able to be reused by Lord Yan Chun was because he was highly skilled in martial arts and had a group of desperadoes under his command who dared to do any evil thing.
This person from the Jianghu should be dealt with by the people from the Jianghu!
Although Lu Wei will not sacrifice his reputation to rob families, the advantage of having farmers spread all over the city and even the country is something that Jueying Wan cannot match.
Accurate intelligence is sometimes more important than a perfect action.
The farm family also needs a steward to protect its own development in the name of Yan Chunjun. The two parties hit it off and the cooperation was officially concluded!
In order to deal with Jueying, the housekeeper felt that he was really willing: not only did he voluntarily "lower his status" and treat those idiots as equals, but he also quietly sacrificed part of the interests of the Yanchun Lord's Mansion to help Lu Qiuge expand its power.
For example, during the recent recruitment of guards in the mansion, he calmly accepted a group of peasant disciples into the mansion...
Before Jueying fell out of favor, with the housekeeper around, Yu Ye's faithful execution of his instructions, and Gao Jianli's voluntary and enthusiastic help, Lu Wei safely rode out of the city and headed straight for the Yanqi border.
But he had not been riding for long when a shout from behind stopped him:
"Little brother, little brother!"
A middle-aged uncle, riding a mixed-haired horse, approached him, waving his hand.
"Who is your Excellency?"
The other person has bright eyes, rough skin, and thick finger joints. The most special thing is his knight-errant aura that makes people instantly like him at a glance. He must not be an unknown person.
Out of caution, Lu Wei did not secretly use his internal power to test the strength of the opponent's internal power. It would be bad if he was discovered.
"I am the knight of Yan Kingdom, Tian Guang."
Tian Guang raised his thick eyebrows, with a heroic smile on his face: "Tian Guang has always liked making friends, and meeting my little brother today is fate."
"I think my little brother also wants to move in the direction of Qi. How about we walk a part of the way together?"
"..." The guard in my heart suddenly relaxed when I heard this name, but I was still very nervous:
Tian Guang, this name is familiar to him!
Farmer Xiakui, the organizer of the Qinglong Project in the Yan Kingdom!
However, logically speaking, he should not know what this name represents, and since Tian Guang also came from Jicheng, it is impossible for him not to know who he is.
Thinking about it this way, Tian Guang’s idea of not revealing his identity to find himself becomes clear~
"I see that Brother Tian Guang has extraordinary momentum. Since I am willing to go with you, Lu Wei is naturally willing!"
Since the other person wants to act, then you should act with him.
Who allowed me to further expand my ambition after conquering Lu Qiu Pavilion? Although I haven’t yet secured the position of the leader of Gonggong Hall, I already want to covet your position as the leader~
"Haha, little brother, you are so happy!"
Tian Guang drove his horse side by side with Lu Wei. He stared at the three-star pearl grass on Lu Wei's chest and asked curiously:
"Brother Lu is from a farm family?"
"Exactly, I am a disciple of Gonggong Hall. I wonder which family brother Tian Guang is a hero?"
"Tian is just a knight-errant, not a hero."
When Tian Guang nodded, he changed the topic at will, and changed the conversation between the two to various scenery in the Yan Kingdom. Both of them had hidden thoughts, but they were both knowledgeable people. After chatting for a while, they were happy.
.
Tian Guang actually arrived in Jicheng half a month ago. Since then, he has been investigating the situation in Luqiuge and accurately grasped the details of how the Lu brothers came to power.
Tian Guang will not comment on the opponent's methods, but it is a fact that Luqiu Pavilion is not in chaos, and the number of farm disciples in Jicheng continues to expand.
Seeing this, Tian Guang felt that there was no need for him to take action, so he just let them continue to toss according to their own ideas.
As the leader of the farm family, he always only understands the changes in the farm family and never interferes unless there are special circumstances.
Even if the most serious issue within the farm family is now: the competition between the Tian surname and the foreign surname, he cannot express his position clearly.
Tian Guang's surname is Tian, and he is also related to Tian Meng and Tian Hu. It stands to reason that it is in the interests of the family that he should help the Tian family to gain power.
But, on the other hand, he is even more of a peasant hero!
The entire farm family is his subordinate. Tian surname, foreign surname, no matter which side suffers losses, his own interests also suffer losses.
Even if it is not to strengthen the farm family, but only to protect his own power from being affected, Tian Guang cannot blindly favor the Tian brothers.
Therefore, he quietly and carefully divided the forces in each hall:
Let Shennong Hall develop to the Chu State, Gonggong Hall to develop to the Yan State, and Siyue Hall to develop to the Wei State.
In the mainland of Qi, only Lieshan Hall, Chiyou Hall and Kuei Hall of the Tian brothers remained.
Each of the three foreign surnames occupies a territory in the country. There are Menghu and Chen Sheng in the local fields. If the Wu Kuang brothers rub against each other, there will be no big problems.
Chapter completed!
