Chapter 795 Farewell

"Is the leader really willing to let us go?" Gongshu Feng was a little surprised.

"Pack your things quickly." Gongshu Jin smiled, "She also asked me to tell you a message. You have helped them a lot these days. You have worked hard. Unfortunately, she has nothing to repay her for the time being. She can only hope to thank her in the future."

"Ah... It's good to be able to leave. What's there to thank her for?" Gongshu Feng suddenly felt embarrassed. "After all, she saved our lives, and what I did can be regarded as a reward. But how was this timing decided? I heard that many people are going to leave. The leader can't wait until I recover from my injuries before organizing the evacuation, right? Forget it, this is not a problem I should care about. Is your bag ready? Once the location is determined, we will go directly to the east. It is best to avoid the refugees, so as not to be targeted by the local families again..."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly lowered.

Because Gongshu Feng noticed that his brother didn't say a word even after he had been talking for so long. . . Even the other party's expression didn't change much. There was always a slight smile in his eyes, and... a little reluctance.

An incredible idea came to his mind.

"Gongshu Jin, you..."

"You are the only one who left." Gongshu Jin reached out and straightened his brother's collar, "I want to stay and help them."

Gongshu Feng was stunned.

But strangely, he seemed to have expected this answer.

Even he himself didn't understand the reason.

After a long pause, Gongshu Feng slowly said, "Why?"

"Because they need help."

"What are you talking about!" He grabbed his brother's hand, "There are so many people in the world who need help, beggars, refugees, disabled people, poor people, why don't you help them? Can you help them?"

The moment he said it, Gongshu Feng regretted it, "...No, I mean-"

"So it's not too late to do it now." Gongshu Jin was not angry, but interrupted calmly, "Brother, do you still remember the purpose of the Gongshu family? Mechanical technology is a gift given by people to themselves, and its only purpose is to benefit everyone in the world."

This sentence was made into a banner and hung in the family lobby, and any new disciple could see it at a glance.

In fact, Gongshujia did invent many devices that benefited the world—for example, prosthetic limbs that could replace joints, head-covered instruments that strengthened the five senses, and spirit-sealing stakes that purified the earth, etc.

"Of course I remember." Gongshu Feng argued, "That's why the Gongshu family cooperated with the Seven Stars, and your abilities should be used in more useful places!"

"But what we experienced is also inseparable from the Seven Stars." Gongshu Jin shook his head, "Do you know what I have seen recently when I followed the reconnaissance team? The local tyrants burned villages and created no one to make it difficult for the refugees to find food to eat, so that they were forced to become slaves. If anyone dared to resist, they would be executed as rebels... I also saw with my own eyes that even if the rebels had surrendered, they did not let them go, and the reason was just for fun. In theory, the government could not be unaware of what happened around Huiyang City, but I have never seen the government send troops to stop it."

He broke his brother's hand, "So... I have to believe that what that person said is true-the local Privy Council not only knows everything, but also is one of the planners."

This is the first time he talked to Gongshu Feng about what he had seen these days.

Gongshu Feng couldn't say a word to argue.

If it had been a few years earlier, he could have pushed the problem to the local government and the Privy Council, but now that Qixing has officially taken power, Wu Bairen is the local governor sent by Qixing. It can be said that all these bloody tragedies can be recorded on the Qixing Privy Council.

"I have lived a fulfilling life these days." Gongshu Jin said, "because I see that my mechanical skills have really benefited those in need. I provide sufficient gas tanks for air rifles, and also use silent notes to hide when they need to retreat. I also use strings and willow wood to make a simple mechanical crossbow, which is much more effective in actual combat than shovels and sticks. I even saved two people with my own hands, a boy and a girl, who are a little younger than me..."

In other words, my younger brother has already demonstrated his ability, and he took the initiative to help these people without being coerced?

It turned out that I was the one who had been kept in the dark!

Gongshu Feng opened his mouth several times, trying to interrupt him.

But in the end he could only remain silent.

Because that familiar look appeared in front of him again.

This time, the other party got the answer first.

And once Gongshu Jin firmly believes that his conclusion is correct, it will be difficult for him to change the other party's mind.

"Let's go, brother, let's go to Jinxia to have a look." Gongshu Jin finally patted his shoulder, "I really want to know what it looks like for a person who can write so many books and a place that can ignite hope for everyone."

"..." Gongshu Feng was silent for a long time, "What will happen in the future?"

"To be honest, I don't know. But I can be sure of one thing."

"What?"

Gongshu Jin took a last look at his brother and turned to walk out of the cave.

"What will happen in the future will be decided by you."

...

"Goodbye?"

Walking out of the rest area, Gongsun Fang was leaning against the wall of the aisle cave and squinting at him.

"Well, he will leave," Gongshu Jin nodded, "because he knows he can't convince me."

"Actually, you can go with him."

"No, it's better this way... for him and for me."

"Why?" Gongsun Fang asked puzzledly.

Gongshu Jin smiled and didn't answer. In fact, the two brothers could feel that as disciples valued by the family, they were both brothers and competitors. Although they didn't think that such competition would affect their feelings, no one could really be sure that they could face it calmly before it happened.

If there is a chance to avoid it, people's hearts don't need to be tested unnecessarily.

For the two of them, this is an opportunity.

"Forget it, it's up to you." Gongsun Fang was too lazy to ask any more questions, "From today on, you are officially one of us... Come with me to the hall. If it weren't for your arrival, we might have to hide for a while."

The so-called opportunity does not come from the enemy's slackness, but a gap created by the rebels.

Gongsun Fang plans to launch a large-scale operation around Huangting Mountain to attract all the attention of the surrounding families. Once the latter decides to wipe out the rebels first, the number of enemies hunting refugees on the Liushen border will be greatly reduced. By then, even if the escort team does not need many people, it can still send a large number of migrants to the border area.

But this does not mean that Gongsun Fang intends to sacrifice herself.

Not only does she want to attract the enemy, but she also intends to use the terrain advantage to eliminate the enemy in the mountains.

If this battle is successful, it will not only greatly hit the arrogance of the family, but also reduce the risk of escape for future refugees once and for all.

"You are too kind." Gongshu Jin bowed and replied, "I will do my best."

I will go to the countryside tomorrow, which is expected to be about two days. I will bring a notebook, but I may not be able to write it out. If the update is unstable, please forgive me.
