Chapter 796 Using Oneself as Bait

"Master Wei, come this way." The guard led the way.

Gongshu Feng followed behind, looking back every three steps.

His brother's words still echoed in his ears.

What will happen in the future will be decided by himself...?

This made him feel a little confused.

In the past ten years, he has never really made a decision - he was adopted by the family, selected by the family, devoted to the research of mechanical arts, became a disciple of the clan, and was sent to Jinxia by Gongshu Wang... Most of his life was following the instructions of the Gongshu family, and he just had to do his best to complete it.

Before coming to Qiguo, Gongshu Feng always thought that there was nothing wrong with this, because everyone else was doing the same thing, including Gongshu Jin. Even in terms of completing the task, the other party did better than him. Most of the research projects assigned by the family were answered by his younger brother first. Faced with this talent, even he felt a little jealous. . .

When Gongshu Jin vomited all over the boat and had to rely on his care, he rarely experienced the feeling of leading. Besides, although he is not as talented as the other party in mechanical engineering, he is still better at dealing with human relations. This will be crucial to establish a relationship with Miss Mo or other superiors in Jinxia City. This mission will definitely be led by him.

However, Gongshu Jin once again walked ahead.

—— He decided his own future without authorization.

Even the orders of the family could no longer restrain him.

Facing this change, Gongshu Feng still has an illusion as if he is in a dream.

"Young Master, we have to hurry up, the large army is about to set off." The guard urged.

"I'm not a young master, you can just call me by my name." Gongshu Feng shook his head and suppressed his distracting thoughts.

"You are a sensor of qi, and you have helped everyone a lot these days. You deserve this title." The guard insisted, "Even if you have nothing now, you will definitely be able to stand out in Jinxia."

If this person knew that his purpose of going to Jinxia was to steal mechanical technology, he would probably chop off his head on the spot.

After staying in the cave for so many days, Gongshu Feng already understood the significance of Jinxia City to this rebel army.

For them, it was a holy land.

"Where does this road lead to?" He decided not to think about this question.

"Behind Huangting Mountain." The guard replied, "Once you get down the mountain, there is a large flat countryside. Even without horses, you can reach the border of Shenzhou in two days."

So the Cricket Cave where they were was inside Huangting Mountain? Gongshu Feng immediately thought of the direction of the mountain on the map - this mountain range was not very magnificent and rugged, but it just happened to be across the northern part of Shen and Liuzhou, which was a small obstacle. Over time, Liuzhou's transportation lines were all concentrated in the southern part of the mountain, and mainly in Jiujiang, while few people were willing to pass through the north.

From the other party's tone, it seemed that there was a small path connecting the inside of the mountain, and they could directly cross from the west slope to the east slope!

No wonder the Privy Council only issued a wanted search, but did not directly send troops to encircle and suppress.

I'm afraid that Lord Wu Bairen knows nothing about the rebels' hiding place.

"We're here."

The guard led Gongshu Feng through a guarded wooden door. The sunlight that suddenly fell from his head made the latter close his eyes involuntarily.

When he opened his eyes again, he was shocked!

There was a large group of people gathered outside the cave, at least three or four thousand!

"Are these... all refugees?"

"Not all." The guard replied, "People like you probably account for half."

"What about the remaining half?"

"They are all local people who were forced to be homeless. In order to eliminate us, the government is never afraid of killing one by mistake." When he said this, there was obvious hatred in his tone.

Gongshu Feng was surprised by another thing - he thought that this "rebel army" was just a rural villager active in the eastern part of Liuzhou, with limited influence and strength, but they were able to win over thousands of people, which was enough to compete with the garrison of a state! If their purpose is not to escort these people to Shenzhou, but to take all of them in, then they are definitely a force second only to the Privy Council of Liuzhou!

In Xu State, this would undoubtedly be a large-scale riot reported to the central government!

But in Shangyuan City of Qi State, he had never heard of such a group of people in Liuzhou, which shows how weak the control of the Seven Star Privy Council has been over the grassroots.

A mere Hundred Blades can completely suppress this matter.

"With so many people... it will probably be quite slow to transfer..." Gongshu Feng couldn't help but say, "As long as everyone leaves the mountainous area, they will definitely be noticed. Two days' journey is enough for those local tyrants to unite and hunt."

He had obviously planned to go on the road alone, and it would be beneficial for him not to say these words.

But he said it subconsciously.

"Don't worry, Master Wei. Those people probably don't have the energy to deal with these thousands of people." The other party said disapprovingly, "They are now gathered to the west of the mountain and are marching towards our base camp."

"What did you say?" Gongshu Feng was stunned, "Has the location of the cricket cave been exposed?"

"It can't be said to be exposed. The leader said that there is no wall that is airtight in the world. We can't hide in the cave forever." The guard raised his head, "Instead of being discovered passively, it is better to use it to hit the enemy hard. We have made a lot of preparations for this plan, and now is the day to realize it!"

"In fact, we are arranging a new transfer... When the time is right, I will safely send you across the Liushen border." Gongsun Fang's words came to mind.

This is the time they are talking about!

The rebels use themselves to attract the enemy's attention, and then take the opportunity to transfer all the refugees stranded in the area!

And the only purpose of their doing this is to save as many people as possible from the Privy Council.

Gongshu Feng didn't know what to say for a while.

Because even the ordinary guard in front of him had a glittering light in his eyes.

"Master Wei, go ahead, there will be someone to take you to Shenzhou." The other party bowed to him solemnly, then turned and walked into the mountain road, "I wish you a safe journey."

...

At the northwest peak of Huangting Mountain, Gongshu Jin was monitoring the enemy's every move with Gongsun Fang and others.

Since the morning, people have entered the mountain area one after another. By noon, the total number of enemies counted by the reconnaissance team has exceeded 4,500.

"Tuntian Village, Ertiao Village, Weijia Village... all the nearby villages have sent people here. It seems that they have made a great determination this time." Gongsun Fang put down the telescope, and the words "Jinxia Machinery Manufacturing Bureau" engraved on the tube of the telescope were particularly eye-catching.

"It's okay to let them catch refugees, but once the wind is not right, these bastards will run faster than anyone else." Someone said disdainfully.

This caused a burst of laughter.

Gongsun Fang also raised the corner of his mouth, but soon returned to his normal appearance, "Indeed, but our real opponent is not them, but the Privy Council of Huiyang City."

Gongshu Jin's eyes also fell on a team holding a blue silk flag - this team has less than a thousand people, but it has become the core of the enemy army. Whether it is formation or momentum, it is far superior to other family troops. Or if it weren't for this force, those tyrants would not be willing to pull all their own people to Huangting Mountain.

That was the defense army personally formed by Wu Bairen, and it was also the official army of Huiyang City.
