Chapter 206: Finding out
Zhao Xiuying hurriedly asked on the side: "Brother Lin, is there a guy who is not tall, but very strong?"
How did Kong Rui know who she was talking about? Most of the demon cultivators he had seen were like this, but he also nodded at her and said, "There is such one." β
Zhao Xiuying immediately clapped her hands and said quickly: "Second Brother Zhang, Brother Lin has avenged you." β
Zhang Yuanzhi and Kong Rui were very happy to see her, and they didn't say anything.
In the afternoon, Kong Rui left a note in the room, opened the door wide, and quietly walked towards the valley mouth, he knew that his work here should be all done, and he had not left any clues for the Qianjian, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't practice here, and he had been worried that the Qijiu Spirit Master would find him, Kong Rui still wanted to stay here for a while.
The leaders on the city tower knew that this young man had great powers, and he actually brought them so many supplies at one time, and he also caught two spies of the Devil by the way. As soon as these people saw Kong Rui, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Kong Rui just said that he wanted to leave the city, and someone immediately opened the city gate for him and sent him out of the city.
Zhao Erzheng and Captain Li and others were discussing the matter of the two scheming agents of Yuan Ping, the two scheming people were also very backbone, and they did not disclose any information, Captain Li tried his best to pry open their mouths, and they were at a loss, so they had to discuss with Zhao Er first, Zhao Er and they always knew that it was difficult to pry open the mouth of this stinger, and they didn't know what method to use, Zhao Er suddenly thought of Kong Rui, and he didn't know if Kong Rui, a cultivator, could give them some advice, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Kong Rui to come.
What Zhao Er and the others never expected was that they saw that the person sent to invite Kong Rui hurriedly ran back, but they didn't see Kong Rui's figure, there was only a note in the person's hand, Yang Liqing hurriedly took the note over and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Lin is gone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back this time." β
When Zhao Er heard this, he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What did the note say?"
Captain Li hurriedly snatched the note from Yang Liqing's hand, and after reading it, he said, "Alas, Brother Lin said that he has intervened in the earthly world too much, which is contrary to the purpose of the sect, so I have to find a place to think about it." Let's not worry, he will be fine. β
Zhao Er was sorry for a while, his heart was like numbness, and when he was upset, he roared angrily: "Give those two spy spies to your brothers, and let them clean up those two bastards!"
Everyone looked at each other, but everyone knew that they couldn't get any valuable clues from these two squires anyway, so they left it to Zhao Er to arrange it.
Kong Rui left the Mine Valley, but instead of heading towards Qingshui Town, he went all the way north. While walking, Kong Rui was also thinking about the many dangers and gains in the past six months of his exile, the most meaningful thing was that he was still able to worship his parents, Su Yun's father and Lin Wen, and he could also guard the tomb for them for a few days, which was a wish in his heart. When he thought of this, he was also a lot more relieved in his heart, and now that he had completed the things entrusted by Chen Daniu, he needed to find a secluded place and cultivate well.
At night, Kong Rui still kept walking forward, and suddenly heard the buzzing sound from the communication array disk, Kong Rui looked at it, but it was Zhang Yuanzhi who had just matched the magic array disk for him, Kong Rui opened it and took a look, it turned out that Zhang Yuanzhi knew that he left so quietly, and he was melancholy, so he hurriedly sent a message to him, and it was also the words of blessing from everyone in the mining valley, Kong Rui's heart warmed, and he quickly replied and continued on the road.
Kong Rui's feet were extremely fast, and he had already walked out of the mountains at dawn, and when he arrived at a small town outside, Kong Rui went around the town and didn't find anything abnormal, so he asked the direction of Tucheng County and continued to walk.
Within a day, Kong Rui arrived in Tucheng County and went directly into the city to find an inn to live in.
It turned out that Kong Rui still wanted to know what happened to the Black Tiger Mountain armed forces led by Chen Daniu, although he also wanted to ask Mr. Zhang this question at that time, but Mr. Zhang stayed in Kongjia Town for a long time, and I believe that he would not say bad things about the Black Tiger Mountain armed forces, as for Zhang Yuanzhi, it is even more impossible, especially Zhang Yuanzhi said that he would flee first regardless of the safety of those businessmen, which made Kong Rui somewhat suspicious; and this Tucheng is closer to Heihu Mountain, Kong Rui naturally thought of coming to Tucheng to investigate first, of course, he knows that this Tucheng is the border after all, and it is the county seat, there may be a lot of Qiqian garrisons, and he should be carefulγ
When he arrived at the inn, Kong Rui asked the shopkeeper to bring the food to the room, so he could ask the guy about the specific situation in the room.
When Kong Rui saw the guy come in and put the food away, he first took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, and asked the guy: "Man, there are some things for you, if you come back well, this is yours." β
When the guy in this small border town saw this broken silver, he immediately opened his eyebrows, and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, you ask, the little one must know everything, and he must have said everything." β
"I heard that there is something strange near the county seat of Tucheng, saying that it happens every ten years or so, I don't know what it is?" Kong Rui asked.
"The guest officer is talking about the Black Tiger Mountain, there is such a strange thing, saying that every ten years, a large number of poisonous insects and beasts in the mountain will die, and no one knows what the reason is. The man looked at the silver and said.
"Black Tiger Mountain, is that place fun?" Kong Rui pretended not to know, and asked him again.
"Guest officials usually don't mention the three words Black Tiger Mountain, if they are heard by the official family, you will be convicted of rebellion. The guy hurriedly whispered.
"Why is that?" Kong Rui was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"There used to be a group of strongmen in this Black Tiger Mountain, who were specifically against the official family, and they were especially ruthless to the Qiqian people, so now the official family is unwilling to hear the three words Black Tiger Mountain. The man lowered his voice.
"Isn't there that strange thing happening in the Black Tiger Mountain? aren't these strong men afraid?" Kong Rui asked again.
"This is strange to say, it is said that the strange thing should have happened this year, but I have never heard of it happening, and that gang of strongmen is mainly locals, and they naturally know about it, so they have long hid. "Dude.
"I see, by the way, man, this kind of people are generally called handmaidens here, why do you call them strongmen?" Kong Rui nodded and asked again.
"It seems that the guest officers still know us very well here, and it is generally not good or bad to call them handmaidens, but I like to call them strongmen, because they only deal with the official family and the scheming people, but it is not bad for us. The guy explained with a smile.
"Then shouldn't there be a lot of soldiers and horses here?" Kong Rui felt a lot more relieved, so he asked again.
"I don't know when this year, this group of strongmen suddenly disappeared, and there were a lot fewer soldiers and horses during this time, and I don't know where they went. "Dude.
Kong Rui asked a few more random questions and sent him away.
After listening to the guy's words, Kong Rui knew that he had to help Chen Daniu with this favor, so he immediately finished eating and rested for a night. Early the next morning, Kong Rui bought some things, put them in a storage bag, and went to Heihu Mountain, intending to cross the river from there to Lianghai Town, Boba County.
It's late autumn now, and the climate in the Northland is already very cold, and many places have begun to freeze.
When Kong Rui arrived in the Black Tiger Mountain, he saw that snowflakes had begun to fall in some places, and there was already snow on the top of the mountain, and the mountains in the Black Tiger Mountain were steep, and the road was narrow and difficult to walk, of course, these were not a problem for him, and he soon arrived at the edge of the Longjiang River.
Seeing that the water of the Longjiang River roared and raged in this mountain, flowing endlessly, and the water surface was turbulent and unstoppable, Kong Rui couldn't help but sigh very emotionally in his heart, this Chen Daniu really didn't know how he had persevered in this environment for so long; even if he wanted to cross the river, the river was so turbulent, how could they ordinary people easily pass it?
After walking for another twenty or thirty miles, Kong Rui saw a relatively gentle river, and there were small patches of flat land on both sides, so he thought that this might be where Chen Daniu and his family crossed the river, and he was worried that there was a secret sentry of the scheming people nearby, and seeing that it was getting late, he decided to rest on the spot and fly across the river until late at night.
