"The leader is really willing to let us go?" Gong Shufeng said in surprise.
"Hurry up and pack your things." Gongshu Jin smiled, "She also asked me to bring you a message. You have helped them a lot these days, thank you for your hard work. Unfortunately, she has nothing on hand to repay. I hope to thank you again in the future.”
"It's good to be able to leave. There's nothing to thank you for." Gong Shufeng suddenly felt embarrassed, "After all, she saved our lives, and the things I did can be considered repayment. But how was this timing decided? Listen. There are a lot of people saying they want to leave. The leader can't wait until I'm healed before organizing an evacuation, right? Forget it, this isn't a problem I should be concerned about. Are your bags ready? Once the location is determined later, we will Go directly to the east, it is best to avoid the refugees, so as not to be targeted by the local aristocratic families again."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly dropped.
Because Gong Shufeng noticed that even though he had been talking for so long, his brother didn't say a word. Even the other party's expression didn't change much, there was always a slight smile and a little bit of reluctance in his eyes.
An incredible thought came to mind. .
"Gongshu Jin, you"
"Brother is leaving alone." Gong Shujin stretched out his hand to straighten his brother's collar, "I want to stay and help them."
Gongshu Feng was stunned.
But strangely, he seemed to have expected the answer.
Even he himself didn't understand the reason.
After being stunned for a long time, Gong Shufeng slowly said, "Why?"
"Because they need help."
"What are you talking about!" He grabbed his brother's hand. "There are so many people in the world who need help, beggars, refugees, disabled people, and poor people. Why don't you help them? Can you help them?"
The moment he said it, Gong Shufeng regretted it, "No, I mean."
"So it's not too late to start now." Gongshujin was not angry, but calmly interrupted, "Brother, do you still remember the purpose of Gongshujia. The art of mechanism is a gift given to oneself by humans, and the only purpose of its birth is It is to benefit everyone in the world.”
This sentence was made into a banner and hung in the family hall, so that any new disciple could see it at a glance.
In fact, Gongshujia has indeed invented many mechanisms that benefit the world, such as prosthetics that can replace joints, hood-type magic tools that enhance the five senses, spiritual sealing stakes that purify the earth, and so on.
"Of course I remember." Gong Shufeng argued, "That's why Gong Shufeng cooperates with Qixing, and your abilities should be used in more useful ways!"
"But everything we have experienced is inseparable from Qixing." Gongshu Jin shook his head, "Do you know what I saw when I went with the reconnaissance team recently? The local gangsters burned down villages and created unmanned belts. The purpose is to make it difficult for the relocated refugees to find food to eat, so they are forced to become slaves. If anyone dares to resist, they will be executed as rebels. I have also seen it with my own eyes. Even if the resisters have surrendered, they will not let the other party live. , and the reason is just for fun. It stands to reason that the government cannot be unaware of what is happening around Huiyang City, but I have never seen the government send troops to stop it. "
He opened his brother's hand, "So I have to believe that what that person said is true. The local Privy Council not only knows everything, but is also one of the planners."
This was the first time he talked to Gong Shufeng about what he had seen these days.
Gong Shufeng couldn't say a single word of argument.
A few years earlier, he could still have pushed the problem to the local government and the Privy Council, but now Qixing has officially taken power, and Wu Bairen is the local magistrate sent by Qixing. It can be said that these bloody tragedies are worth every penny. It can all be remembered on Qixing Privy Council.
"I have a very fulfilling life these days," Gong Shujin said, "because I see that my machine skills have really benefited those in need. I provide sufficient gas tanks for the air rifles, and I also use static skills when they need to retreat. The musical notes were concealed. I also used strings and willow wood to make a simple mechanical crossbow, which was far more effective in actual combat than shovels and wooden clubs. I even personally rescued two people, a boy and a girl, who were older than me. smaller”
In other words, the younger brother has already demonstrated his abilities, and even took the initiative to help these people without being coerced
It’s me who has been kept in the dark all this time!
Gong Shufeng opened his mouth several times, wanting to interrupt him.
But in the end, he could only respond in silence.
Because that familiar look appeared in front of him again.
This time, it was the other party who got the answer first.
And once Gong Shujin firmly believes that his conclusion is correct, it will be difficult for him to change the other person's mind.
"Let's go, brother, go to Jinxia and have a look." Gongshu Jin finally patted him on the shoulder, "I really want to know what it will be like for a person who can write so many books to ignite hope for everyone. .”
Gong Shufeng was silent for a long time, "What will we do next?" "
"Honestly, I don't know. But I'm sure of one thing."
"What?"
Gong Shujin glanced at his brother one last time, turned around and walked out of the cave.
"It will be up to you to decide what happens next."
"Have you said goodbye?"
After walking out of the rest area, Gongsun Fang was leaning on the wall of the corridor and squinting at him.
"Well, he will leave," Gong Shujin nodded, "because he knows he can't convince me."
"Actually, you can go with him."
"No, it's better this way, both for him and me."
"Why?" Gongsun Fang asked puzzled.
Gongshu Jin smiled and did not answer. In fact, both brothers can feel that as disciples valued by the family, they are both brothers and competitors. Although they don't think that such competition will affect their relationship, no one can really be sure that they can face it calmly before it happens.
There is no need for human hearts to be needlessly tested if there is an opportunity to avoid them.
For them both, this is an opportunity.
"Forget it, it's up to you." Gongsun Fang didn't bother to ask any more, "From today on, you are an official member of us. Come to the auditorium with me. If it weren't for your arrival, we might have to go to the auditorium again." Hide for a while.”
The so-called opportunity does not come from the enemy's laxity, but from a gap created by the rebels on their own initiative.
Gongsunfang plans to launch a large-scale operation around Huangting Mountain to attract the attention of all the surrounding aristocratic families. Once the latter decides to eliminate the rebels first, the number of enemies hunting refugees on the Liushen border will be greatly reduced. At that time, even if the escort team does not need many people, it will be able to send a large number of migrants to the border area.
But this does not mean that Gongsunfang intends to sacrifice himself.
Not only did she want to attract the enemy, she also planned to take advantage of the terrain to eliminate the opponent in the mountainous area.
If this battle is successful, it will not only greatly dampen the arrogance of the family, but also reduce the risk of escape for future refugees once and for all.
"You are serious." Gongshu Jin cupped his hands and replied, "I will do my best."
