Zhang Han walked quickly to the desk, first looked down at the box, and then glanced around meaningfully.

Bai Tu and Zhong Limei followed closely and walked in, but Bai Tu was still a little worried and sneakily glanced at every corner of the camp to confirm whether Shu Lu had completely left.

Zhang Han glanced back at Bai Tu, who looked sneaky, and asked with a slight smile:

"Colonel Bai seems to be looking for someone?"

"No, no!" Bai Tu was startled, sweating on his forehead and hurriedly explained, "It's just that the Yinghuo Stone is of great importance, and I'm afraid of making mistakes for my humble position. I'm a bit too sensitive."

"Really...how are Colonel Bai preparing for the escort?" Zhang Han didn't bother with Bai Tu, and immediately turned to the topic and asked.

"This..." Bai Tu was stuck, not knowing how to respond.

How could he be prepared?

He didn't have any elite soldiers under his command, and he didn't dare to escort him, so what could he be prepared for?

If you need soldiers, you can just drag them away on the spot!

But Zhang Han's intention is obviously that he should be solely responsible for the escort operation... How can he do this!

After muttering for a long time, he finally thought of a prevaricating answer, "Shouldn't the Yinghuo Stone wait until General Wang Li arrives with his army, and then be personally escorted to Xianyang by the armor-piercing soldiers of Hundred Battles?"

"It's not convenient to act privately in a humble position..."

Zhang Han glanced at Bai Tu, who had his head lowered, and replied with a smile, "Colonel Bai is cautious, but His Majesty Yinghuo Zhishi is pressing hard. We should share your worries for you."

"The Yinghuo Stone must be sent to Xianyang as soon as possible, so you need to send a team to escort the Yinghuo Stone to the Hundred Battle Armor-Piercing Soldiers and hand it over to them for transportation."

"Ah..." Bai Tu was speechless.

This request is reasonable and reasonable. The most important thing is that facing the leader of the Shadow Guard, he has no right to say no.

At this time, Zhong Limei actually spoke to relieve Bai Tu. Of course, this was not his purpose:

"General, at the end of this matter, I am willing to serve as a vanguard officer and personally escort the Stone of Enlightenment!"

Zhong Limei made this request not to gain credit or to be conspicuous, but simply because he could not trust Bai Tu.

To this useless person, if you give him the task of escorting the Stone of Enlightenment, doesn't that mean you're giving something away?

Seeing that everyone in the farm family is eyeing the Yinghuo Stone, as well as the rebellious elements of the Mo family, Bai Tu alone is definitely unreliable.

Zhong Limei is a standard imperial soldier who puts military orders first. If Bai Tu can't be relied on, then he will definitely be obliged to do so.

Originally, Gu Xun sent him here for this very purpose.

Of course, he was actually a little surprised as to why the Shadow Guard didn't directly take over the entire escort mission.

With the strength of the Shadow Guards, it would not be a troublesome thing to directly send the Stone of Enchantment back to Xianyang... Why does it have to be the captain of Baitu to carry out the task?

However, as a soldier, he usually puts aside his excess curiosity when it comes to his superior's orders.

Zhang Han turned around and looked at Zhong Limei, "Zhong Xiaowei is willing to take the initiative to take over this task?"

"It is my duty to be the last general!" Zhong Limei replied with a fist in his arms.

"Well, he is indeed a loyal minister and good general of the empire. He is worthy of the personal training and promotion of the Imperial Master." Zhang Han praised him a few words, and then asked, "The fall of the Yinghuo Stone must have caused a lot of turmoil.

Attention of the forces, have you discovered anything recently?"

Zhong Limei immediately replied, "Yes! The general did meet a few rebels at the end of the day."

"Yes, yes!" Bai Tu nodded frantically. "There are rebels. Those people are very rampant. They not only obstruct the low-level military affairs, but also try to directly attack the imperial army!"

He was too embarrassed to talk about the fact that he was almost killed and was so scared that he pissed himself and ran away.

Zhong Limei didn't bother to expose his shortcomings... He just wanted to finish the things here and leave. Staying with this kind of imperial worm made his blood pressure soar all the time, and he wanted to kill him himself.

Zhang Han basically ignored Bai Tu and looked at Zhong Limei with interest:

"Tell me, who are there?"

Zhong Limei cupped his fists and replied, "Back to the general, there are four of us in total."

"Two of them are Mohist rebels, Gao Jianli and Big Iron Hammer, and one is holding Xueji, who should be Xiaoyaozi, the head of the Taoist sect."

"The last one is holding a spear, has red hair, is wearing armor, and looks like a member of the army. The general guesses that he may be Long Qie from the Tenglong Legion of Chu State."

"The Mohist Taoists, the remnants of the Chu State...the people are quite together, and the speed is not slow, hum!" Zhang Han nodded slightly, smiled inexplicably, and then asked, "Have you fought against them?"

"Yes, the general was incompetent and failed to capture the traitors, allowing them to escape."

Zhang Han couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Is it something you can catch when these four people come together?

That's something you can't escape!

"It seems that they have no intention of killing you..." Zhang Han stopped his smile and said thoughtfully.

Zhong Limei didn't have the nerve to refute. There was indeed a huge disparity in combat power between the two sides. The only thing that kept him safe was that they didn't intend to fight him to the death.

Zhang Han continued, "However, most of these people coming to Dongjun are related to the Yinghuo Stone. In addition, the farmers who are constantly gathering disciples... this mission has not even started, and there are already too many people on it!"

"Zhong Limei, as a pioneer escort officer, do you know the dangers involved?"

"Where military affairs are concerned, the general will not hesitate to die!" Zhong Limei responded decisively without any thought of retreating.

………………

Dazeshan, Farmer Lieshan Hall.

Tian Meng had already been buried in a coffin, and he only had to wait for seven days before mourning.

Outside the mourning hall, long poles were erected on both sides of the road, all carrying a pure white funeral procession. The disciples of Lieshan Hall, wearing hemp and mourning, formed two long lines to guard in front of the mourning hall.

There is a coffin in the mourning hall, and Tian Meng's body is lying in it. There are wreaths of elegiac couplets, pure white curtains, and the most indispensable big 'mourn' in the hall.

The layout of the entire mourning hall seems to be very suitable for a big man like Tian Meng. It is simple and uncomplicated. The only awkward thing is that the mourning hall is a somewhat old wooden house.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It looks very similar to the place where Tian Meng was killed before. I don’t know how poor Lieshan Hall is... maybe it’s because of people’s aesthetic preferences.

Outside the mourning hall, Tian Hu led a group of people and walked toward the mourning hall aggressively.

After Tian Meng died yesterday, Tian Zhong helped Tian Hu yell a few times, and initially gathered the hearts of the people in Lieshan Hall in the name of revenge.

But this is obviously not enough. At most, it only allows him to occupy a small section. Today, he has to grasp the more important righteousness in his hands - that is, to get the permission of Tian Meng's heir, and he will really mobilize Lieshan Hall.

Although his eldest brother had just died, Tian Hu walked with a vigorous and energetic pace.

Of course, it's not that he really didn't feel anything about Tian Meng's death, it's just that his personality was like this, and he was used to being arrogant and domineering.

Behind Tian Meng were his loyal followers whom he had just gained yesterday - Tian Zhong, the leader of Gonggong Hall, and Hu Yao, a five-star bead grass-level backbone master affiliated with Chi You Hall.

Of course, this is not his real name, it is more like a nickname, but because he has been called this all year round, it has replaced his real name over time.

And the reason why he got such a title is because... he is extremely talented.

He was over eight feet tall, slightly shorter than Dianqing. Standing taller than Tian Hu and his group, he had a whole big head. He also had a ferocious face, with a long beard and hairy hair, a round face, broad cheeks, sharp teeth, and a sharp mouth on his forehead.

There is also a faint "king" wrinkle, the upper body is naked, and there is a palm-width heart-protecting hair on the chest. The palms are wide and fat, the fingertips are slender, and the lower body is simply wrapped in a tiger skin skirt of the same style as Brother Monkey.

, the feet are wearing a pair of shoes that are similar to insoles with a simpler structure than straw sandals, and the soles of the feet are as different as the palms of ordinary people.

In short, the whole person is like a tiger that has become a spirit, so it is not surprising that he is called a tiger monster.

According to legend, he was born weird and was abandoned by his parents at birth. He was raised by tigers in the mountains. When he became an adult, he had the strength of a liger.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the bloodline looks pretty pure.

The reason why Tian Hu recruited him was probably because he felt that he would be more compatible with him.

In fact, what Tian Hu planned to recruit before was the heartbroken bone monster that was rampant in the Taihang Mountains. Unfortunately, Wei Zhuang beat him to it, so he had to fall back and replace him with another monster.

However, in terms of strength, this tiger demon is definitely not inferior to the bone demon, but it is completely opposite to the opponent's weak and boneless style. He takes a fierce and domineering path, pursuing the most intense, extreme and ferocious.

attack.

Of course, looking at his burly body, you can tell that he has practiced some external skills, but his level is average and he cannot reach the level of invulnerability like the ceremony.

After the group of people approached the mourning hall in a hurry, Tian Hu thought for a while and left most of them outside, including the tiger demon, and only took Tian Zhong into the mourning hall.

In any case, this is his eldest brother's mourning hall. It's outrageous to bring so many people in at once. There is no use for these people going in anyway, so they might as well stay outside.

When the two entered the mourning hall, the first thing they saw was a fine mahogany coffin. In front of the coffin were placed incense burner offerings, and behind the coffin was an offering table with Tian Meng's coffin.

Kneeling at the foot of the hall was a young girl dressed in plain clothes and wearing a wooden hairpin.

That is Tian Meng's only heir, Tian Yan, the eldest daughter of Lieshan Hall, the farmer's family, and the person who theoretically inherits Lieshan Hall.

A farm family is not a family, and there are no rules passed down by blood. However, Tian Meng is in his prime and has not yet groomed a successor. The only qualified person in Lieshan Hall is Tian Yan, Tian Meng's daughter.

The most important thing is that the Nongjia has lost its real leader, Xiakui, for so long that all the Nongjia’s six halls have become the hall master’s ‘private soldiers’ to varying degrees, and Hejia Tianxia is almost the same.

Without Xiakui to take charge of the situation, Lieshan Hall would really have no choice but to pass the succession to Tian Yan.

But this is only in theory. In fact, although there is no hero, there are others who want to help the orphan girl take charge of the situation.

Tian Hu and Tian Zhong were not in a hurry to talk to Tian Yan. They first offered incense and worship to Tian Meng. Tian Hu also made a series of oaths, vowing to avenge his eldest brother.

Logically speaking, when someone came to offer incense and offer condolences, Tian Yan, as a relative of the deceased, should express his gratitude, but she always lowered her head and said nothing, and knelt there silently.

By the way, the clothes she wore were not serious mourning clothes, but ordinary linen clothes, the clothes she wore every day.
