When he arrived at the counter, Fan Yongjie rushed to pay the bill for Kong Rui, of course Kong Rui couldn't let him pay for himself, and it was inconvenient to fight, so he hurriedly took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper: "Don't look for it, the rest will be used as a reward." Naturally, the shopkeeper was full of thanks.

Fan Yongjie saw Kong Rui's generosity, and he didn't know what he thought.

When the shopkeeper saw the two of them walk out of the door, he quickly put away his smile and glanced at a guy next to him, who immediately understood and went out to follow Kong Ruihe and Fan Yongjie.

It turned out that Kong Rui was suspected of him by the shopkeeper soon after he moved in, and he saw that Kong Rui only went out on time for less than an hour every day in those days, and changed his face every time he went out, and then stayed in the room and didn't eat often, so he became curious about him, and immediately arranged for someone to follow him.

The person in charge of following him saw that Kong Rui went to a teahouse every time and left quickly, and then saw Duan Zhi leave there after a while, but that person knew Duan Zhi's identity and soon came back to report to the shopkeeper;

There are already many people in this capital, Kong Rui is the most lively time on the street every time he goes out, and the people who follow him are also extremely good at this, he has been followed several times, Kong Rui didn't notice it at all, this time it was the same, and the two of them went all the way back to Fan's house.

Entering Fan's house, Kong Rui saw that the decoration in Fan Dingtao's home was only relatively ordinary, not as extravagant and luxurious as he had heard about it in the past few days, but thinking of Fan Fu's suspicion of himself a few days ago, he was still a little wary, and followed Fan Yongjie into the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, Kong Rui saw a tall old man sitting upright in the main seat, and Fan Fu was sitting in the lower hand; as soon as the old man saw Kong Rui and Fan Yongjie coming in, he got up and said, "This must be Lin Rui's immortal disciple." ”

Fan Yongjie also hurriedly introduced Kong Rui: "This is my father." Only then did he salute Fan Dingtao and said, "Dad, this is the Lin Rui brother that I often mentioned to you as a child." ”

Kong Rui also stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Shibo." ”

Fan Dingtao knew his identity as a cultivator, and he didn't dare to rely on the old and sell the old, so he hurriedly said to Kong Rui: "Immortal disciples don't have to be polite. ”

"Shibo doesn't have to call me an immortal, just call me by my name. Kong Rui said politely.

Fan Dingtao knew that some cultivators' faces did not age so quickly with the passage of time, and he didn't know how old this Kong Rui was, so he had to say, "Since you and Yongjie are brothers, how about the old man call you a virtuous nephew?"

"As it should be. Kong Rui naturally had no questions, so he replied to him.

Fan Dingtao had never dealt with cultivators before, but he had heard that these people were omnipotent in heaven and earth, and now the person in front of him was also a cultivator, but he was still very polite, although he was still wary, but he had a little more affection for Kong Rui, so he hurriedly invited Kong Rui to sit down, and arranged tea, and then spoke: "Listen to Yongjie, the virtuous nephew saved him twice in Qingshui Town, and the old man thanked him again." ”

"Shi Bo is polite, I just saw those demon cultivators attacking ordinary people for no reason, but all decent cultivators will help. Kong Rui said.

Although Fan Dingtao traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, it was the first time he heard of the term "demon cultivators", so he asked Kong Rui: "So how did the virtuous nephew know that they were demon cultivators?" He himself knew that these people should be some scheming people, but he wanted to see what Kong Rui thought of these people.

"I've dealt with them a bit before, and I know that they're just killing machines that have been cultivated by the Evil Army. Kong Rui said lightly.

Fan Dingtao knew that there were some cultivators in the army, who could soar through the clouds and fog, come and go like the wind, and had strong martial arts and ruthless hearts, it turned out that these people were the demon cultivators in Kong Rui's mouth, and it was fortunate to think that his son could come back alive when he met these people, and he was a little less wary of Kong Rui at the moment.

Fan Dingtao asked Kong Rui again: "Since Lin Xian's nephew was able to kill these demon cultivators, he must also be a master cultivator from the big sect, I don't know where the virtuous nephew came from?" In fact, where did he know about these cultivation sects, he just wanted to see Kong Rui's reaction.

Sure enough, Kong Rui knew that he couldn't tell his sect, so he had to say: "I'm just a casual person who travels around, and it just so happens that I'm in the area of the mine valley these days. ”

Fan Dingtao was such a shrewd person, he naturally saw that Kong Rui was reluctant to say, and they were not good at asking questions, so he changed his words and asked Kong Rui: "The virtuous nephew has been in the area of the mine valley recently, I don't know what he thinks of the situation there?"

Kong Rui knew that it was best to tell the truth at this time, and there was no need to dodge, so he said to the three of them: "Zhao Er in this mining valley is currently difficult to be attacked by the Monkey people for a while, and I think the Monkey people are helpless against him; Now the Monkey is aware of this. I don't know what other major events happened to the Qianjian, which caused them to draw troops from the vicinity of the mine valley, but the Qianqian people were unwilling to give up the blockade of Zhao Er and the others, so they set such a trap, pretending to loosen the control there, attracting merchants who wanted to do pig iron business, but they themselves robbed and killed the merchants who went to that area in the name of the people in the mining valley, so that these merchants did not dare to do business with the people in the mining valley, which also played the role of blockading the mining valley. ”

Fan Dingtao and the others saw Kong Rui's words, and they really had extraordinary opinions, but they were still worried that he was here to deal with them, so they pretended not to understand very well, but they didn't want to care about these things, and said: "Alas, this military affairs are not something I can wait to discuss, and it is a great luck that Xiao'er was able to escape with his life this time." I just wanted to seize an opportunity to make money and ended up like this, and I really don't know what will happen in the future. ”

"The withdrawal of troops from that area this time will definitely be long-term, and the blockade will not be as tight as before. If Shibo wants to do business there, there are naturally many opportunities. Kong Rui persuaded him.

Fan Dingtao listened to Kong Rui's words, which made sense, but later said that he still felt that there was some problem when he asked him to go there to do business, so he still pretended not to care about military and political affairs and said: "Where can we manage where the people are stationed in the army? ”

Kong Ruijian couldn't figure out Fan Dingtao's attitude, and it was not easy to talk about this aspect of the matter, so he also nodded and said: "Indeed, as long as the world is peaceful." ”

"Did you see that Zhao Er in the area of the mine valley a few days ago?" Fan Dingtao suddenly asked Kong Rui again.

"I've had a few encounters with him. Kong Rui was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said.

"The old man learned that Zhao Er had not been attacked by the Monkey people for ten years after occupying the mine valley, so he must have been a powerful person. Fan Dingtao said with emotion.

Kong Rui didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Zhao Er, so he also followed his words: "Yes, he must have something outstanding, otherwise it would be impossible to persist until now." ”

"Since the virtuous nephew has some dealings with him, then the virtuous nephew should know what he needs most in the mining valley, right?" asked Fan Dingtao.

"Naturally, it's salt and cloth. This was exactly what Kong Rui meant, and he said immediately. He was about to ask Fan Dingtao if he had any ideas to do salt business with Zhao Er, but suddenly thought that Fan Fu should also tell Fan Dingtao about his suspicions, so he didn't ask any more at the moment, and raised his hand to cover up the teacup.

Fan Dingtao's eyes were sharp, and he naturally noticed Kong Rui's abnormality, so he said to Kong Rui: "The virtuous nephew will stay for a few more days when he arrives at the house this time, and we will also do our best to be a landlord." After speaking, without waiting for Kong Rui's reply, he said to Fan Yongjie: "Yongjie, you take Lin Xian's nephew to the guest room first, and the two of you just have to talk more, and come out for dinner together in a while." ”

When Fan Yongjie heard this, he stood up and said to Kong Rui: "Brother Lin, please come here." ”

Kong Rui also said goodbye to Fan Dingtao and followed Fan Yongjie.
