Gongshu Feng was stunned.
He subconsciously felt that this sentence was wrong, but he couldn't think of any rebuttal.
The key point is, shouldn't the Privy Council be the superior substitute of the court? Under the governance of the alchemists, the six countries will be reunited as one, the mobilization of large resources will be more convenient, and people's lives will naturally improve.
She is a wild woman among the people. Could it be that she has been deceived
"Do you know who gets the lion's share of the money from buying and selling these people? It's Master Wu Bairen."
The butler's voice suddenly entered Gong Shufeng's mind.
"Well!"
The stinging pain interrupted all his thoughts.
"You just woke up and your body is still weak. Take a good rest." The woman patted his shoulder, "You can see your brother in the evening."
Gong Shufeng closed his eyes weakly. In this half-dream and half-awake state, he seemed to have returned to the Gongshu Mansion where he only needed to focus on the art of mechanism.
"Brother Gongshu"
"Brother, are you awake?"
"elder brother?"
When Gong Shufeng was shaken awake again, a familiar figure came into view, it was Gong Shujin.
When he saw the other party, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "Are you okay?"
"You blocked that shot for me, I just scratched my skin a little." Gong Shujin sat down next to him, "Thank you, brother."
"It's just a coincidence." Gong Shufeng waved his hand. Now he could completely recall the scene at that time. The opponent's attack was indeed a deadly move, and he did not intend to let anyone go. It's just that he stood in a more conspicuous position, so he became the servant's first target. He hugged his brother into his arms, but it was just a subconscious action.
At that time, in his mind, completing the tasks entrusted to him by his family was still his top priority. As long as one of the two brothers survived, hope would not be completely shattered.
Thinking about it now, the hope at that time was really a joke.
What saved them was not his status as a disciple of Gongshu, nor his status as a Qi-sensing person.
They were able to survive all because the "rebels" as the officials called them happened to appear in that suburb.
When he woke up this time, Gongshu Feng finally saw clearly the environment he was in. It was undoubtedly a cave, but the air was not stuffy. There was still a vague sound of rushing in the distance, which was probably underground running water. There were nearly a hundred simple wooden beds placed in the cave, and there were fewer people than he expected, only twenty at most.
There are many people who take care of patients like women. Most of them are women. They all wear white coats and their faces are wrapped in white cloth, which looks like a uniform.
"You should eat something first. I'll make you some rice porridge." Gong Shujin picked up a clay pot and placed it beside the bed. "After eating, the leader here wants to talk to us."
"Leader?" Gongshu Feng was startled, "He's from the rebel army."
Halfway through, he raised his hand to cover his mouth.
The younger brother nodded slightly, "The fact that you are a Qi-sensing person has been exposed."
"Because of the injury?"
"good."
Gong Shufeng smiled bitterly. Indeed, he was stabbed from behind with a spear. Although it did not hit his heart directly, a slot was still opened in his chest. Only those who sense Qi can survive such serious injuries. This news is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them. The value of a Qi sensor who does not belong to the Privy Council is obviously much greater than that of ordinary refugees.
"I understand." At this point, he had no choice but to accept it. "These people will definitely make conditions later. No matter how harsh they are, I will find a way to send you away."
"elder brother"
Just as Gong Shujin was about to speak, he was interrupted directly, "I can't leave, do you understand? Since you haven't been exposed, they won't take it too seriously. So it's the best choice for me to stay and for you to leave. For the sake of those who sense Qi, they will most likely not embarrass me."
Even for those who sense Qi, such injuries cannot be healed within ten days and a half, and rushing forward will only drag the other party down.
The strange thing was that Gong Shujin didn't nod immediately or shake his head, but just looked at his brother quietly. Gong Shufeng has seen this situation before. When he was researching the mechanism, the other party figured out the answer one step ahead of him.
After a long while, the younger brother said, "Anyway, let's talk to each other first, okay?"
"" Gong Shufeng could only nod, "I understand."
Half an hour later, the two men were waiting for the rebel leader in the cave.
"Don't we need to go there?"
"You couldn't move, so the other party came here specially." Gong Shujin whispered.
When he saw the other party's appearance, Gong Shufeng's eyes widened. He recognized this person at the moment he was stabbed by the spear. Wasn't it the person who held the flag high and rushed to the front, tearing a gap in the enemy's encirclement
That's right, the leader who opposes the government is a woman in her early twenties.
"My name is Gongsun Fang," the other party, accompanied by several guards, walked up to the brothers, "You are Wei Jin's eldest brother, Wei Feng, right?"
This is exactly the pseudonym they prepared. After all, Gongshu's surname is too special, and once he says it, it means revealing his true identity, and the surname Wei is very common in the Gyeonggi area.
"Exactly" Gong Shufeng struggled to get up, "Thank you for saving us, your great kindness"
"No need to be polite, you need to rest, there is no need to get up." The leader pressed it down with one hand. Although the force was gentle, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds. He had no ability to resist at all.
"Do you want to go to Jinxia City?"
"Yes." Gongshu Feng bit his lip and spoke out the words he had prepared. "I heard that outsiders are not minded there, and if you can sense anger, you can make a good living."
"It's a good choice." Gongsun Fang smiled brightly, and his upturned red and phoenix eyes actually gave him a sense of incomparability, "Jinxia City is definitely a good place, in fact, even if it is any city in Shenzhou , can be considered a good place to stay.”
She paused and then changed the topic, "Unfortunately, you can't go to the east for the time being."
Sure enough, Gong Shufeng had already expected this answer. The rebels would not save him for no reason, but would probably "persuade" him to join the group. "Why?"
"The Privy Council has recently stepped up its search efforts, and has also joined forces with dozens of Zhuangzi to form an interception network near the Liushen border." Gongsun Fang said calmly, "Who are they looking for? The answer is obvious, so I have to tell you. Sorry, it was our actions that affected your plans."
This answer was completely beyond Gong Shufeng's expectations, so much so that he couldn't answer it for a while.
"But this doesn't mean you can't reach Jinxia. In fact, we are arranging a new transfer, and we will be able to transport nearly 500 people at once." Gongsun Fang continued, "So you don't need to be anxious, just rest and recover. With your physical condition, you will be able to get out of bed and walk in a few days. When the time is right, I will safely send you across the Liushen border."
What on earth is she talking about
Gong Shufeng could no longer understand the meaning of the other party's words.
Arrange a transfer? Sent across the border safely
What are these "rebels" as the officials call them? What are they planning
