Heaven's Formula

After a while, the younger brother said, "Anyway, let's talk to each other first, shall we?"

"..." Gong Shufeng could only nod his head, "I see."

Half an hour later, the two waited for the leader of the rebel army in the cave.

"Don't we need to go there?"

"You can't move, so the other party came here on purpose." Gong Shujin whispered.

Seeing the opponent's appearance, Gong Shufeng glared, he knew this person - at the moment when he was stabbed by the spear, wasn't this person who raised the flag and rushed to the forefront, tearing a gap in the enemy's encirclement?

That's right, the leader who opposed the government was a woman in her early twenties.

"My name is Gongsun Fang." Accompanied by several guards, the other party walked up to the two brothers, "You are Wei Jin's eldest brother, Wei Feng, right?"

This is exactly the pseudonym they prepared.After all, the surname Gongshu is too special, and once it is said, it is tantamount to revealing his own details, and the surname Wei is very common in the Gyeonggi area.

"Exactly..." Gong Shufeng struggled to get up, "Thank you for saving us, your great kindness..."

"You don't need to be polite, you need to rest and rest, there is no need to get up." The leader pressed it down with one hand, although the force was soft, it was as heavy as a thousand weights, and he didn't even have the slightest ability to resist.

"You want to go to Jinxia City?"

"Yes..." Gong Shufeng bit his lip, and said the words he had prepared, "I heard that they don't mind outsiders, and if you can feel angry, you can make a good living..."

"A good choice." Gongsunfang smiled brightly, coupled with the pair of upturned phoenix eyes, it actually gave him a sense of incomprehensibility, "Jinxia City is definitely a good place, in fact, even if you go to any city in Shenzhou , it’s a good place to stay.”

She paused, then changed the topic, "Unfortunately, you can't go to the east for the time being."

Sure enough, Gong Shufeng had expected this answer in his heart. The rebel army would not rescue him for no reason, and most likely wanted to "persuade" him to join the gang. "Why?"

"The Privy Council has recently intensified its search efforts and united with dozens of Zhuangzi to form an interception network near the border of Liushen." Gongsun Fang said calmly, "Who are they looking for? The answer is obvious, so I have to tell you Sorry, our actions have affected your plans."

This answer was completely unexpected by Gong Shufeng, so that he couldn't answer the conversation for a while.

"But that doesn't mean you won't be able to reach Jinxia. In fact, we are arranging a new transfer, and we will be able to send nearly 500 people at a time." Gongsun Fang continued, "So you don't need to worry, just rest at ease and heal your injuries. With your physical fitness, you will be able to get out of bed and walk in a few days, and when the time is right, I will safely send you across the Liushen border."

What the hell is she talking about?

Gong Shufeng could no longer understand the meaning of the other party's words.

Arranging a transfer?Safely across the border?

What are these "rebels" that the government calls "rebels" plotting?

Chapter 831 Unpaid Blood Debt

Gong Shufeng couldn't help asking his own doubts.

In his view, the ultimate goal of any rebel is to seize power. If you can't seize the big ones, then at least seize the small ones. it is good.

"What happened to you was not a coincidence." Gongsun Fang's expression was slightly gloomy. "Recently, food shortages have occurred in many places, and more and more people have fled. In the eyes of those who have soldiers and food, refugees It has become a good opportunity to make money. In fact, from the moment you left Huiyang City, you have become meat on the felt board. The main purpose of our activities here is to let as many people as possible leave Liuzhou smoothly. "

The attack was premeditated, and the brothers knew this well—they first used food as a bait to divide the crowd, and then the armed servants suppressed the resistance. This was by no means a temporary hunt.

But Gong Shufeng didn't expect that even the timely rescue was premeditated.

"You have been staring at these refugees?"

"Yes, we are familiar with this place. Our scouting teams are scattered in the city and the countryside." Gongsun Fang said calmly, "The moment the people in Tuntianzhuang gathered, we knew that their target was you. But because of the weapons and armor There are gaps, so we can only wait for them to encircle and focus on you before launching a sudden attack from behind."

Adapting measures to local conditions and winning strategically is exactly what an army does.

"Are you taking orders from Jinxia City?" Gong Shufeng subconsciously asked.

He even forgot his identity - a defector from a small town on the outskirts of Gyeonggi, so he shouldn't be so sensitive to the situation in Liushen.

"No, we don't take orders from anyone." Gongsun Fang showed a wry smile, "Or I hope Jinxia City can help everyone, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get a positive response from them after several contacts."

"Hmph, it would be easy if we were the team of Jinxia City." A man beside her snorted coldly, "Even if the people in Huiyang government had ten guts, they wouldn't dare to provoke the Jinxia Army."

"That's right," another guard said angrily, "every time we send people to the border, Shenzhou will also send people to escort them. At this time, let alone those private soldiers of Zhuangzi, even half of the Privy Council No one can be seen."

Gong Shufeng was dumbfounded.

In Liuzhou, the reputation of the Seven Star Privy Mansion has actually been reduced to this point.

As for Jin Xia's refusal to send troops, it is not difficult to understand based on the information he has learned - before the Battle of Ten States, Ning Wanjun only controlled Yancheng and the surrounding Gaoshan County, but after the war, the entire Shenzhou has fallen into her hands , the territory suddenly increased by more than ten times.This situation will cause a serious shortage of manpower, and it will take time to digest this huge return.Since the frontier army had not received an order to attack, it was naturally impossible to respond to the rebels' request.

"Then why don't you go to Jinxia City by yourself?" He asked with some doubts.Up to now, Gong Shufeng has a general understanding of this "rebel army". They are not a real army in essence, but because they hindered Wu Bairen's business with the local family, they were punished by the government's Quanzhou wanted.The base camp is located in this cave, which is not even as good as some bandit villages, probably because of the need for concealment.

But since they were able to get close to the Liushen border, it also meant that they could leave Liuzhou and go to what they called a great Shenzhou border, so why risk their lives here to fight against the government?

"Because each of you... has a blood debt that has not been settled, right?" It was not the leader Gongsun who answered the question, but Gong Shujin.

"Did you see it?" Gongsun Fang turned her head and said.

The latter nodded slowly.

What are they talking about?Gong Shufeng looked at his younger brother in puzzlement.

A strange feeling rose in his heart.

During the three or four days of being in a coma, the genius of this family's mechanism seemed to be a little different from before.

"In short, you can take your time to recuperate. The next transfer should be at the end of the month. For you, there is still plenty of time." Gongsun Fang paused, "Also, I have one more thing to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Gong Shufeng's heart skipped a beat.

"When you can get out of bed and walk, can you help us test the effect of the magic weapon?" She spread her hands, "Maybe you haven't touched the magic weapon before, but as long as you are a person who senses energy, it shouldn't be difficult to get started."

For him, the magic weapon is basically a part of the mechanism, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is familiar with it.But Gong Shufeng did not expect that this group of rebels who seemed to be from the countryside also knew how to use magic weapons. "I... can try."

Gongsun Fang smiled sweetly, then stood up, "Then I'll leave it to you."

……

For the next few days, Gong Shufeng basically spent in the hospital bed.

The pain in the pierced chest has gradually subsided, and he can start eating and changing clothes by himself even without being watched.

Gong Shujin only came back at night, and sometimes he didn’t see anyone for a whole day. It’s not that Gong Shufeng didn’t persuade him, but he failed in the end—because anyone could see that Gong Shujin was following the rebel army. Not out of compulsion, but of his own accord.

Seeing that his younger brother was unwilling to go to Jinxia first, Gongshu Feng simply accepted the fact that the plan would be delayed, and only hoped that these people would be sent to the Liushen border when the time was right as the leader said.

During the days of recuperating in the cave, he also discovered many novel things.

That is, these people from poor and humble backgrounds actually learn to read and write in their spare time!And the one who taught them seemed to be a serious private school teacher.Although it seems that most people learn very clumsily, everyone's attitude is extremely serious, as if they are carrying out this matter as an important task.

The so-called action must have a motive. For the rebels who have no qualifications for fame, this behavior is really abnormal.

But soon, Gong Shufeng understood what motivated them to study.

——It is all kinds of reading materials from Jinxia City.

The most popular is undoubtedly the Shenjin Weekly. Everyone's understanding of Shenzhou basically comes from the contents of the newspaper.Followed by various learning booklets and comic strips, such as "The Encyclopedia of Evil Spirits" and "One Hundred and One Magical Uses of Elf Plants".

In fact, these things have become the main means of passing the time for Gong Shufeng.

He thought he was well-informed, but he didn't expect that even an ordinary "Complete Book of Evil Spirits" could open his eyes.

There is also the "Medical Technology Popularization Handbook", the description of microorganisms makes him suddenly understand, why food rots, why wounds become infected and pus, all are explained in detail in the booklet.Although it cannot be verified, this series of rhetoric is indeed eloquent, and it is very consistent with the factual experience in his impression, which made him amazed.

Gong Shufeng also finally knew why the people in the cave who took care of the patients were all dressed in white—because white is the most dirty, and it is easy to detect pollution in the first place.The white gauze on their faces is not to cover the face, but to block the germs carried in the saliva.

These books have become more than just reading material for the rebels.

They regard the content of the book as a signpost to guide their own practice!

Chapter 832 Book of Thoughts

"Sister Ma, where do these books come from?" After a few days of getting along, Gong Shufeng also knew the name of the woman who took care of him.

"There are some to buy and some to pick up," Sister Ma replied, "In addition, other people who have gone to Shenzhou border will also bring some back to us."

"Do you usually watch it?"

"I can't read quickly, and I usually listen to people talking a lot." She smiled a little embarrassedly, "But the leader said, there is no difference between reading and listening, both of them learn the same truth. "

It's hard for Gong Shufeng to imagine that he would see a look of pity and regret because of poor literacy in a woman from a farming family.

"Do you think reading... is useful?"

"Of course." Sister Ma said without hesitation, "I haven't read it before, and I think life can be passed. But now that I have read the book, I feel that the truth of the world is much more open, and it will be impossible to go back to the past. Look at the sign over there—"

She pointed to a corner of the cave.

Gong Shufeng squinted his eyes for a while to recognize, "The world is always as big as your knowledge...?"

"That's right, the first sentence in the "Elementary Education Series"." Sister Ma sighed, "It sounded a little strange at first, and I even felt that the words couldn't make sense. But after learning a lot, I think it makes sense You don't know, our leader decided to deal with the government to the end after reading a few of these books."

Gong Shufeng was shocked, could it be the legendary "anti-book"?

"Which ones are they? Can I read them?"

"The number of these books is relatively small, and many people read them, so they are rarely left empty on the shelf." Sister Ma said with a smile, "If you want to read it, I'll see if I can borrow it for you tonight."

After dinner, Gong Shufeng got one of them from the other party as he wished.

It's just that the first impression of this book is quite different from what he expected.

It belongs to one of the education series, titled "Ideology and Politics".

This title... how strange it is to read.Gong Shufeng opened the cover while muttering curiously.

Unexpectedly, this reading made him completely forget the time.

When Sister Ma urged him to sleep, he realized that it was already late at night, and his palms were sweating!

——How can there be such a bold book in the world?

Gong Shufeng felt as if a huge wave had set off in his heart.

That's right, it is indeed anti-book, but the words "anti-book" alone are not worthy of its content!It talks about the power structure and the relationship between the ruler and the ruled. It not only explains the birth and accumulation of power, but also points out the direction of future evolution.There is not a single inflammatory word in the book, but it is enough to touch the most taboo place of all rulers-because according to the book, today's government organizations have no future at all.

But...is it necessarily wrong to deny it?

At least the future described in the book seems to be much better than the present, and all these inferences are based on changes in the economy and thinking, rather than exaggerated like painting a big pie.Based on Gong Shufeng's cognition, this book is logically reasonable, and the historical events used as examples made him feel suddenly enlightened.

No wonder Gongsun Fang will stay resolutely and decide to fight the Privy Council to the end.

In addition to being driven by hatred, Jinxia's books also pointed out the way forward for her—this kind of struggle is by no means in vain. No matter how powerful a backward organization may seem, its rotten foundation is doomed to not last long.There will be more and more protesters until the mountain that stands in front of them is completely overthrown.

For the rebels, this belief may be enough to arouse their courage to face the enemy directly.

For the next few days, Gong Shufeng was immersed in Jinxia City's books.

He found that he had developed a strong curiosity about that remote Yancheng, and this curiosity had nothing to do with mechanism skills.

On the fifth day, Gong Shufeng was finally able to leave the hospital bed and walk slowly with his own strength.

He also ushered in his first mission in the rebel army.

"Young Master Wei, this is our organ workshop." The guard leading the way stopped in front of a cave, "I will wait for you at the door, if you feel unwell, you can call me at any time."

"Thank you." Gong Shufeng didn't bother to tell whether the other party was really thinking about him, or was deliberately watching him, and walked into the new cave after cupping his hands—this place is about [-] steps away from the ward area, and it is undoubtedly the same as the cave of this huge cave. part.During the period, the narrow roads extended in all directions. If there were no guides, he suspected that even if he wanted to escape, it would be difficult to find the correct exit from the mountain.

To Gong Shufeng's surprise, there is sunshine in this "organ workshop".

The light source comes from overhead.

——At the top of the cave, a covered patio can be seen, with ropes hanging around it, and with the rocker and wooden wheels below, he can see at a glance that this place can go outside the cave through the lifting device.Although he did not find a platform for lifting, it was not difficult for him to assemble one by himself.

However, Gong Shufeng was soon attracted by the various organs displayed in the cave.

Rather than saying that this is an organ workshop, it is more appropriate to say that it is a garbage dump.

He saw the hanging lamp used for lighting at night, the air rifle made by Jinxia City, the siege crossbow that fired the iron crossbow... all kinds of weapons were scattered everywhere.And what they have in common is that they are all damaged.

Gong Shufeng even saw a bipedal mechanism beast!

You must know that this thing was only mentioned in the Seven Stars Intelligence, and even the vanguard troops in Gyeonggi had no way to get the real thing. How could he find the real pinnacle of the Mohism in such a place!

"Hey, you are the one called by the leader to help? What are you doing there stupidly? Come here!" Someone suddenly shouted.

"Uh..." Only then did Gong Shufeng come to his senses. There was actually another person in the mechanism workshop—he followed the sound and saw a man in his fifties among a pile of wooden armor pieces. The old man was staring at him dissatisfied.It's no wonder that he didn't notice the other person when he came in. This person was hunched over, less than five feet tall, and wearing a dirty gray coat, which almost completely blended into the background. "Excuse me, are you..."

"Master Gongsun's Chief Foundry Master," said the old man, raising his beard, "You can call me Mr. Hu. According to the leader, you are a person who is sensitive?"

"Probably..."

"Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean?" Mr. Hu snorted, "Hey, the young man just doesn't know how to speak. Take it, let's see if I have finished this thing."

After saying that, he threw a wooden cylinder over.

Gong Shufeng took it in a hurry, and at the same time recognized at first sight that it was a magic weapon commonly used by the Privy Council's army, and it was called "Tianquan Eye".The sky means that it is dry, and the spring means that it is related to water. Its purpose is to purify drinking water. It can make the astringent and dirty water full of mud and sand easy to swallow. It also has a certain detoxification effect. The alchemist team on the expedition will always prepare it then one.

"This thing... where did you all get it?" He couldn't help asking.
