Chapter 345: Cooperation. Difficulties
That night, He Fengan was about to rest, but suddenly saw Kong Rui entering through the window, although he was taken aback, he was even more surprised, and hurriedly said: "Brother Su, you are here!"
Kong Rui smiled: "Didn't surprise Brother He!"
He Fengan also smiled: "Where is the virtuous brother, I wish the virtuous brother would come over." ”
Kong Rui said: "The younger brother is planning to live in the city for a while, so I want to consult the eldest brother to see where we live to facilitate our future contact." ”
When He Fengan heard him say this, he was immediately overjoyed, and guessed that Kong Rui might have changed some of his minds, or obtained the permission of the sect to intervene in some things in the world, if so, then he might be of great help to himself, and hurriedly said: "If the virtuous brother likes to be quiet, the Hot Spring Mountain Courtyard located in the western suburbs of the city is a good place to go." That annex was opened by a wealthy merchant from Xiajiang City, and there were many people from Xiajiang City who liked to live there, and there was a hot spring mountain behind it, and many people exercised there every day, hoping not to delay the cultivation of the virtuous brother. ”
He Fengan is also very cunning, he knows that the Hot Spring Mountain Annexes are a place where there are a lot of intelligence brokers, so he directly introduced Kong Rui to live there, and also hoped that Kong Rui could continue to help him do some intelligence work.
Kong Rui naturally didn't mind where he lived, just so that He Fengan could come and find him, so he said: "That's fine, I'll stay tomorrow, and I still have to bother my eldest brother tonight." ”
Of course, He Fengan was very happy, and hurriedly asked, "What news do you need to know about Brother Xian?" ”
Kong Rui also wanted to learn from him the whereabouts of some of the Qi Refiner disciples in the sect, he knew that as long as he found any of them, it would be easy to find Su Yun, so he asked: "I want to know some unfamiliar faces who have just arrived in Jiangyun City recently, if the eldest brother finds anything, please be able to tell the younger brother, the younger brother wants to go and see it first." ”
He Fengan thought that Kong Rui was needed to collect intelligence, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is no problem, if Brother Fool has any news, let Brother Xian know first." ”
Kong Rui thought that if He Feng'an helped, it might be much easier to find Su Yun and them, so he thanked him: "Then thank you, big brother." He Fengan also hurriedly said politely.
He Fengan introduced the progress of Shu Han's side to Kong Rui again, Kong Rui knew that if he wanted to help Su Yun, He Fengan's help would be indispensable in the future, so he learned more about it, and by the way, he also gave them some ideas;
He Fengan is also a very scheming person, in order to let Kong Rui stay here to help him with peace of mind, he thought about how to persuade him to completely change his mind, and said to Kong Rui: "Brother Xian is a master of the world, and he may not really understand the suffering of the people, but we are in the world, but we have seen a lot of such situations. ”
Kong Rui shook his head and said: "The eldest brother's words are wrong, before the younger brother entered the sect, he was also from a poor family, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he still cares about the suffering of ordinary people. ”
He Fengan is a senior intelligence officer, and he is also very experienced in judging the weakness of people's psychology, and when he heard Kong Rui say this, he immediately had confidence in his heart, and said: "The foolish brother thinks that the virtuous brother is from a family, so the hot spring mountain villa introduced to you is also a luxurious inn, but if you go more than ten miles west from there, the virtuous brother will be able to see ordinary farmers and understand the suffering of ordinary people there." ”
Kong Rui came all the way, and he didn't all drive the clouds back and forth, so he naturally knew that the lives of the people were very difficult, so he said: "This little brother does know." ”
He Fengan nodded, and said: "Originally, the vicinity of Jiangyun City was also a rich place, and the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It's just that after this stinger invaded and occupied a large part of the territory of our Great Yan Country, most of the people in the occupied areas were displaced, and due to the increase in taxes in the land under the jurisdiction of our Jiangyun City Imperial Court, the life of the common people was much worse than before. ”
Of course, Kong Rui knew these things, so he had to sigh and said: "The junior brother already knows in the sect that in order to fight against the scheming people, there are also many junior brothers in my sect who have gone out to fight in the mountains and spilled blood. ”
He Fengan was a little moved and said: "If the war is only a matter for the court and the soldiers, then the foolish brother will not persuade the virtuous brother to stay and help me, but the scruffy people are too brutal, and they will slaughter the people of my Great Yan Country at every turn, which is the case in the occupied area; Brother Fool went to the scene later, and that scene still makes my heart beat when I mention it now. ”
Kong Rui himself had slaughtered thousands of Qijiao soldiers, he had naturally seen that kind of scene, it was indeed bloody and cruel, but after all, it was a battlefield, and the soldiers he killed were all soldiers, who let them come to invade the Great Yan Country, it was considered to be innocent, but it was impossible to say that the Qiqian people slaughtered ordinary people, and he didn't dare to tell He Fengan that he had also slaughtered thousands of Qiqian soldiers in World War I, so he had to be silent and pondered.
He Fengan saw that Kong Rui's heart was moved, and hurriedly said: "Brother Fool is a person in the imperial court, and it is natural for him to contribute to the country, but my Great Yan Country has been poor and weak for a long time, and the war resources that the imperial court can mobilize are too few, so it suffers ordinary people; ”
Kong Rui said a little strangely: "Aren't the intelligence departments in charge of Brother He all elites?
He Fengan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xian doesn't know, don't talk about other people, even Brother Fool, my own head is pinned to the belt of my trousers, maybe I will be killed by the people tomorrow." ”
Kong Rui was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why did the eldest brother say this? Could it be that it is difficult to save your own life, eldest brother?"
He Fengan didn't hide it, and said: "It's easy for the people to kill me, but they are worried that the court will change to a more powerful person, and it will be more troublesome for them to deal with it, so they kept the foolish brother's life and didn't take it." If the foolish brother does something extremely unfavorable to them a little, the virtuous brother will never see the foolish brother again. ”
Kong Rui also had some truth when he heard what he said, and he couldn't help but ponder again when he thought that even the safety of the head of the dignified intelligence department was not guaranteed, let alone others.
He Fengan said again: "But don't worry, Brother Xian, although Brother Fool knows these dangers, he still knows what I should do." ”
Kong Rui only noticed that He Feng'an's house was only him and a few retinues and servants, and the Hun family and children were not around, and he also knew that he had indeed made up his mind to fight to the end with the Qianjian; he also knew that He Fengan wanted to keep himself very much, but this time he had not mentioned any intelligence tasks, but talked as much as possible about the suffering of the people, the cruelty of the Yanren and his own powerlessness, and hoped that Kong Rui could do more for the sake of the peace and contentment of the ordinary people of the Great Yan Country.
