Kong Rui had been thinking about asking Yang Liqing about Black Tiger Mountain and Chen Da Niu, and seeing that Zhao Er and they had finished talking about business, he opened his mouth to ask Yang Liqing: "Brother Yang, yesterday you mentioned Black Tiger Mountain and Chen Da Niu, I want to know if this Black Tiger Mountain is the mountain range upstream of Kongjia Town, Tucheng County?"

"Yes, it's the mountains. Yang Liqing nodded and replied.

"Brother Yang, is that Chen Daniu you mentioned a native of Kongjia Town, twenty-seven or eighteen years old?" Kong Rui asked again.

"Yes, it is this person, how did Brother Lin find out?" Yang Liqing felt strange and hurriedly asked.

"To tell you the truth, I am from Kongjia Town, and I grew up there since I was a child. Kong Rui didn't hide this, so he told him the truth.

Zhao Er knew a little bit and didn't feel anything, so Yang Liqing nodded and said, "I see, Brother Lin is also from here." Then Yang Liqing introduced Chen Daniu and their situation to Kong Rui.

It turned out that since the fall of the northern land to the hands of the Monkeys, Chen Orion and others were unwilling to endure the oppression of the Monkeys, and also organized into small resistance organizations to fight against the Monkeys, although they were brutally suppressed by the Monkeys, but these resistance organizations still survived and gradually merged into several large forces.

Chen Lihu was elected as the leader by everyone because of his strong ability to survive in the wild, and because he was familiar with the terrain and repeatedly helped others out of difficulties. Three years ago, Chen Orion was killed in a battle against the Yakini soldiers, and by this time, his son Chen Daniu had already risen to prominence and had the support of the majority of the people, so he was elected as the successor leader to lead everyone to continue the fight against the Rebels.

Because Chen Daniu had a grudge against the people who killed his father, he was firm in his mind and wanted to deal with them, and the people hated them to the core, but the area around Kongjia Town was originally at the junction of the three kingdoms, and as soon as Chen Daniu saw that things were tense, he led his troops across the river into the country of Rus, avoiding the pursuit of the people. The Rus State has a strong army, and the Monkey people are already mired in the quagmire of war with the Great Yan State, but they dare not easily provoke the Rus State, so they do not dare to cross the border to pursue the forces of the Great Yan State that have fled into the territory of the Rus State.

And Chen Daniu took the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the local government of the Rus' country, gradually established some small bases in the Rus' country, and established a lot of contacts with the people there, but the Rus' court turned a blind eye to this, and occasionally secretly supported them, Chen Daniu and others were able to maintain their strength until now.

Zhao Er and the others naturally knew Chen Daniu's way of survival, and the people in the mining valley also wanted to establish contact with Chen Daniu and the Rus country, so they sent Lao Xie, the best liaison in the mining valley, to contact Chen Daniu, the contact between the two sides had already been established, but they didn't expect Lao Xie to disappear for no reason because there was a mole in the mining valley, and the contact between the two sides was temporarily interrupted, Zhao Er was also thinking about how to establish contact with Chen Daniu again, and he didn't want to make a fuss but soon came to attack the mining valley.

As soon as Kong Rui heard about Chen Orion, he naturally knew that it was Uncle Chen, who was in Kongjia Town when he was a child, so he said to Zhao Er and the others: "Second Brother Zhao, this Chen Da Niu was my playmate when I was a child, if necessary, I can go for a trip, and also take a look at the situation in my hometown by the way." ”

"That's great, we really need to establish a relationship with Chen Daniu. Zhao Er nodded.

Yang Liqing said: "Now that the Monkey people are suddenly attacking our Mine Valley, there must be soldiers and horses attacking Chen Daniu, or at least there are soldiers and horses blocking them. So I think Chen Daniu and they may have withdrawn to the territory of Rus now, and Brother Lin can't find them even if they go there. I think there is a long-term plan for this matter. Everyone thought about it, so they had to put this aside in advance.

Kong Rui thought of those spars again, so he said to Zhao Er and the others: "Second Brother Zhao, my master has already sent a batch of energy spars to Suidu. At the moment, this ban plate is still in effect, and presumably the stingers will not dare to attack us again in a short time, so it is better for me to go to Suidu in the next few days and get those spars in my hands. ”

When Zhao Er and the others heard this, this arrangement was also very good, so they asked, "Does Brother Lin need someone to help?"

Kong Rui smiled and said, "Thank you Second Brother Zhao, I think I should be able to handle it." ”

Everyone knew Kong Rui's ability, and he really didn't need a helper, so he had to agree to him.

Kong Rui continued: "Then without further ado, I plan to leave tonight. "It's good for everyone to think about it, taking advantage of the chaos when the scheming people just retreated, they just happened to mix through the checkpoints everywhere.

Yang Liqing and Zhao Er chatted for a while and then got up to say goodbye and left; Kong Rui asked Zhao Xiuying to help get some incense, candles, and paper money, and went to the graves of his parents and Lin Wen to pay respects, and then went to the location of the main mine to worship Su Qingyun, and then went back to the room to wait for dark. In this place, Kong Rui could not practice, and he did not want to walk around in the mine valley, so he had to sit in his room and do nothing.

After a while, there was a soft knock on the door of Kong Rui's room, but it was Zhao Xiuying who came to find Kong Rui. Kong Rui opened the door and saw that Zhao Xiuying had changed her outfit, really wearing a green gauze shirt from her daughter's family, her hair was draped back, and she was gently tied up with a golden ribbon.

Kong Rui was stunned for a moment, but quickly invited Zhao Xiuying into the room, and said, "Is there something wrong with Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Xiuying walked in and said to Kong Rui: "There's nothing to do, just come and talk to Brother Kong." ”

Except for Su Yun, Kong Rui had never been in the same room with other girls, and now when he saw Zhao Xiuying like this, he was a little overwhelmed, and his speech was a little sluggish, so he hurriedly poured tea for Zhao Xiuying.

Seeing that he was a little restrained, Zhao Xiuying couldn't help but laugh, and asked: "Brother Kong, I heard my second brother say that there was another person who left the mine valley with you back then, where is she now?"

As soon as he heard her ask Su Yun, Kong Rui immediately let go of a lot and said, "You mean Sister Su Yun, she is now cultivating in our sect." ”

Zhao Xiuying was also carefully observing Kong Rui, and when he saw that he mentioned Su Yun, he immediately had a happy look, and directly called out "Sister Su Yun", revealing an indescribable sweetness, Zhao Xiuying's heart was half cold, and asked Kong Rui again: "Then do you often meet?"

"yes, we can see each other every day if we want to. Kong Rui smiled happily.

Zhao Xiuying's mind sank completely, but she still asked faintly: "Miss Su, is she beautiful?"

Kong Rui is purely a fool in terms of children's affection, where can he guess Zhao Xiuying's thoughts, so he said: "Sister Yun is like a fairy, very beautiful." ”

As soon as she heard this, Zhao Xiuying suddenly let go, and she didn't pretend to be a daughter, and said, "When will Brother Kong bring his sister-in-law to the mine valley and let us meet too?"

Kong Rui became embarrassed, his face was swollen and red, and he hurriedly said, "No...... No...... We are not married yet. ”

Zhao Xiuying couldn't help laughing when she saw Kong Rui suddenly embarrassed. The two chatted casually about some things in the mine valley, and Zhao Xiuying said goodbye and left. After a while, Zhao Er knocked on the door again and came in, and said to Kong Rui: "Brother Kong, I saw my sister-in-law here just now, didn't I?"

"Yes, Second Brother Zhao, Miss Zhao did come just now. Kong Rui knew that he was asking knowingly, so he nodded and answered him.

"It's also the first time I've seen my sister-in-law wearing my daughter's clothes, what does Brother Kong think of my sister-in-law?" Zhao Er looked at Kong Rui and asked solemnly.

"I think Miss Zhao is very good!" Kong Rui was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Kong hasn't gotten married yet, is he?" Zhao Er asked.

"Yes, it's just that we all have to listen to the teacher's arrangement. Kong Rui reacted and hurriedly replied.

"Is it possible for Brother Kong to stay in our mine valley for a long time?" Zhao Er thought about it and asked again.

"No, my return to the mine valley this time has already brought great danger here, and I must not stay here for a long time. Kong Rui knew his identity and immediately refused.
