Chapter 192: Undercurrents are surging
When he was about to walk to the foot of the mountain, Kong Rui found that many people were muttering and walking back, looking very dissatisfied. He swept his eyes and saw that these people seemed to be rich, but they were all embarrassed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop a middle-aged man and asked him, "This big brother, what happened on this mountain, why are everyone walking back?"
The man glanced at Kong Rui, saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, and thought that he also went there to watch the maple leaves like him, so he said to Kong Rui: "This scheming person doesn't know what crazy he suddenly had, we were just watching the maple leaves on the mountain, and they drove them back for some reason." Little brother, you're also going to enjoy the leaves?"
Kong Rui said: "The younger brother just came from other places, and I heard that the maple leaves of Dongling Mountain are the most beautiful at this time, so I came to enjoy it." ”
The man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my brother will be disappointed this time, so let's go back." ”
Kong Rui knew that he could only go back first, and when he found time to investigate, he pretended to be disappointed and said, "It's really unlucky, I have to wait another year to see this beautiful scenery." Then he immediately said to the man: "Big brother, why don't you tell the younger brother about what is fun in the mountains, and I can tell others when I go back." ”
The middle-aged man thought that Kong Rui, like him, was also a gentleman, so he immediately introduced Kong Rui to him.
It turns out that every year to this season, the maple leaves on the Dongling Mountain have attracted a large number of tourists to watch, ordinary people may go back and forth on the same day, and many rich people are willing to live in the mountains for a few more days, the best place to live is in the middle of the mountain Lingxi Zen Temple.
This Lingxi Zen Monastery is built along the mountain, covers an area of a wide area, quite some vacant rooms for tourists to stay; more attractive is a stream next to this Zen Monastery, this creek flows all year round, although the northern land is extremely cold in winter, this creek is not frozen, this is not the most magical, it is said that people often drink this stream water can strengthen the body, prolong life, so everyone calls it Lingxi.
For ordinary tourists, the best thing is to use this stream water to make tea, the taste is excellent, the Zen monastery chose an open area next to the stream to build a pavilion, next to the pavilion dug a deep well, it is said that the well water is also very sweet, whether it is to make tea or brew is the best choice, and the scenery near this pavilion is also very charming, so this pavilion is the favorite place for these rich people to stay.
While listening to the man's introduction, Kong Rui also asked about something he was interested in, and after entering the city, Kong Rui and the man said goodbye and separated.
After entering the capital city, Kong Rui's sky had already darkened, and seeing that this place was not far from the Yuelai Inn, he thought that it would be better to talk to Liang Fang, and then see if there was any other unexpected news, thinking of this, Kong Rui turned to the Yuelai Inn.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Kong Rui, he hurriedly asked a steward to come over to replace him, and personally greeted Kong Rui and said, "Please come inside the guest officer." He took Kong Rui into the small building where Liang Fang lived. This time, Liang Yong did not leave, but participated in the discussion together.
After Liang Fang introduced Kong Rui and Liang Yong, he asked Kong Rui, "Brother Lin is here again, do you find anything?"
"Brother Liang looked down on his brother, and his brother felt that he had nothing to do, so he wanted to walk around. I'm here to learn more about Dongling Mountain outside the East City of Suidu with Brother Liang. Kong Rui seemed to be unintentional.
Liang Fang was secretly a little disappointed in his heart, but he soon thought: In fact, this Lin brother should indeed have no clue, if it weren't for He Fengan to tell him, wouldn't he be like a headless fly?
Seeing that Liang Fang seemed to be a little distracted, Kong Rui asked, "What did Brother Liang think of?"
Only then did Liang Fang react and said to Kong Rui: "Brother Lin, forgive me, I just received news that Ninggang will come to Suidu." ”
"Brother Liang forgive me, who is this Ninggang?" Kong Rui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked him.
Liang Fang thought about it, they Heihu Mountain was on the border of the Northern Land, and they basically didn't know the situation in the Great Yan Country, and it was normal for them not to know who Ning Gang was, so he said: "Ning Gang is the highest commander of the army of the Yan Country in the Great Yan Country. His coming to Suidu was a big deal in itself. ”
After listening to Liang Fang's explanation, Kong Rui understood the reason why many unknown masters came to Suidu during this time, but this is nothing, you must know the purpose of his coming here, so he asked Liang Fang: "What does Brother Liang think about this?"
"There must be some things to discuss with Mei Chaojian when Ninggang comes here, and our purpose is to find out what they are discussing. Liang Fangdao.
Although Kong Rui had no experience in intelligence gathering, he still knew that it was difficult to get information from this kind of person, so he said to Liang Fang: "This task is not simple, what is Brother Liang's plan?"
"Not yet. Liang Fang also shook his head and said.
"Brother Liang, do you know what kind of hobbies this Ninggang has?" Kong Rui saw that Liang Fang didn't have a clue, and asked him again.
Liang conveniently told Kong Rui all the information he had obtained from He Fengan about Meichao's supervisor Ninggang.
As soon as Kong Rui heard this, he immediately remembered what Duan Zhi had told him that the stinger should also be a good tea ceremony, but he didn't tell Liang Fang, got up and left.
As soon as he returned to the Zhiyi Inn, Kong Rui felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, as if there was a fight inside.
The guests in this Zhiyi inn are generally not rich or expensive, and there are some masters in the inn, who generally dare not make trouble here, but this time there are no people from the town, and many people don't seem to be afraid and run away, but talk about it there.
Seeing this, Kong Rui felt strange, so he also stood aside and quietly watched what was happening inside.
This Zhiyi inn is also a garden set of gardens, and there are some private rooms and private rooms distributed in the garden, and fights are coming from the courtyard inside.
Kong Rui looked inside, and saw that there were only a few people who looked like a town guarding the door of the courtyard, and a few people were also guarding some high places, but they did not participate in the fight inside, Kong Rui was confused, and he didn't dare to release his divine sense to investigate, so he had to wait and watch like everyone else.
After only half a cup of tea, the fighting inside had ended, and a few people came out of the courtyard, just carrying a few packages in their hands.
Looking at the people who came out, Kong Rui couldn't help but be taken aback: these were all some demon cultivators, and they were all wearing their standard clothes. It seems that these demon cultivators are searching for someone in this inn, and these people who live in the inn seem to be commonplace.
Seeing this situation, Kong Rui couldn't help but be secretly worried, so he stopped looking at it, pretended to be afraid, and quietly walked to his room unprepared.
The service in this inn is also very good, there are guys on duty at the stairs of each floor in case the guests are summoned, Kong Rui immediately called a guy to his room, the guy knew that as long as there was a guest call, there would be a tip, and he followed Kong Rui into his room happily.
Kong Rui took out another piece of broken silver and shook it at the guy, and asked the guy, "Who were fighting just now?"
"It seems that there are some scheming people who are arresting some spies, but we don't know what the specifics are. Seeing the money's eyes, the man hurriedly replied.
"Does this happen all the time? I've seen a lot of people who aren't very scared. Kong Rui asked again.
"Nowadays, the world is more chaotic, and this kind of thing happens from time to time, and everyone is not surprised. The guy sighed as well.
"After all, this is the capital of Sui, where else can we mess around?" Kong Rui wondered.
"Under normal circumstances, it is not chaotic, but some spies engage in some assassination and intelligence activities, and the scope of this situation is generally small, so not many people know about it; The guy explained.
Kong Rui couldn't help but be speechless for a while, so he asked the guy again: "Is that courtyard inhabited by the people of the Great Yan Kingdom or the people of the Rus Kingdom?"
"It seems that there are people from the Great Yan Kingdom and people from the Rus Country, as for who the spy is, it is unknown. The guy shook his head.
As soon as Kong Rui's mind turned, he asked his buddy: "In autumn, what are the interesting attractions near this capital? ”
The guy immediately danced with his eyebrows, and introduced Kong Rui inexhaustibly, and Kong Rui memorized it by heart, so he gave the broken silver to the guy and sent him away.
