An Jingzhi's smile flashed across his face, and he said to Ke Hongda seriously, "Do you know why I left you alone?"
Ke Hongda looked puzzled, "Brother, do you have any instructions?"
"What I just said to them was all lies. Kaiye County cannot be defended at all."
Ke Hongda was surprised, his eyes wide open: "Brother, you..."
An Jingzhi said sternly, "I asked my father-in-law to distribute the grain to the people defending the city, and to give the gold and silver as rewards to the officers and soldiers defending the city. This is just a temporary measure."
Chen Dan was so excited that he wanted to call Shen Xianyi over immediately so that he could listen carefully to what this heartless man had to say.
To his surprise, before he could send anyone to call him, Shen Xianyi came over after counting the food in the warehouse.
She just opened her mouth to call for help, but Chen Dan made a shushing gesture.
He waved at her softly, indicating that she should come over slowly and not make any noise.
Although Shen Xianyi was confused, she still did as she was told and the father and daughter stood at the foot of the wall.
"In short, everything I said to my father-in-law and brothers was false."
Shen Xianyi was startled, and Shen Dan signaled her not to make any sound and to continue listening.
An Jingzhi only knew that Shen Dan came over, and didn't know that Shen Xianyi also came over to listen.
He deliberately spoke outside the Shen family's courtyard just to attract Shen Dan to come over.
Ke Hongda was confused, "Brother, why are you telling me this?"
"Because you are the one I value most."
Ke Hong was surprised, "Brother, among all the brothers, I am the last one to arrive." Big brother actually values him so much?
"I know, but friendship lasts no matter how long it lasts. You are the smartest among the three of Tianlei."
Ke Hongda felt a little embarrassed.
"There are some things I can't tell them too clearly, otherwise it might ruin things, but I have to tell you this. I think you should have noticed the problem just now, right?"
Ke Hongda smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, big brother, the brothers and I have taken our families out. You can rest assured about the three of us brothers, but I'm afraid the others will not be so honest after leaving the city, let alone the encirclement plan."
"Because I never intended to fight back. The internal and external harmony was just a cover."
Shen Xianyi’s face was cold, and her jade hands were clenched tightly.
"Then...what about Uncle Shen and the others?" Ke Hongda asked.
If that’s the case, why would my eldest brother let Uncle Shen and the others spend food and gold and silver?
An Jingzhi sighed deeply, "I, Taishan, am a man of integrity and have lived in Kaiye County for generations. If I told him to abandon the city and flee, do you think he would agree?"
Ke Hongda thought about it and shook his head: "Uncle Shen must want it, but he doesn't want it." Most of the Shen family's land and shops are in Kaiye County.
"That's it. And our group of brothers are all heroic and righteous. If I hadn't told them that this was a conspiracy involving both internal and external forces, they definitely wouldn't have agreed to it so painfully. If time drags on, will we still be able to escape Kaiye County unscathed?"
Ke Hongda was deeply touched and said, "Brother, it is a blessing for us brothers to meet you."
An Jingzhi waved his hand, "Brothers, don't say these polite words. You treat me as your elder brother, so I naturally treat you as my own brothers. I don't want you to die in vain."
"You know a few more words than the other brothers, so you can think more. Today, I can only say this to you. I know you have doubts in your heart. If I don't explain it to you clearly, I'm worried that you will overthink it."
Ke Hongda was moved by An Jingzhi's heartfelt behavior. "Brother, from now on, my life belongs to you. If you tell me to go east, I, Ke Hongda, will never go west!"
An Jingzhi laughed inwardly, but openly cursed, "What life is mine? Your life is your own! I'm not telling you this because I want something from you. I just hope there won't be any rift between us brothers."
"After we successfully leave the city, you will also help me explain to the other brothers."
Ke Hongda patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely help you explain to the brothers. If they dare to blame you, they are ruthless and will be the first one to not forgive them!"
"Hey," An Jingzhi patted his shoulder with relief, "I have no choice. Just think of it as me being afraid of death. Now I can only deceive both sides."
"Brother," Ke Hongda looked at him with admiration, "How are Uncle Shen and the others going to get out?"
An Jingzhi said: "Let's leave the city first. When the brothers are out safely, we will come back and take my father-in-law and the others away."
"After we all run away, we can give the food directly to the people and let them donate as much as they can. It will be considered a good deed."
"Brother," Ke Hongda asked, "Why do we have to go first? Wouldn't it be better to let Uncle Shen go with us?"
"You're so stupid! Didn't I just tell you? If my father-in-law knew we were going out to escape, he wouldn't be willing to go with us."
"I can only wait until you all get out first, and then tell him that the plan of internal and external cooperation is fake. When he sees that the city cannot be defended, he will definitely be willing to go with me."
Ke Hongda touched the back of his head and said, "Brother, you are really capable." Although the eldest brother is a rogue at ordinary times, at critical moments, the eldest brother still thinks about them, his brothers.
It seems that the person that Big Brother trusts the most is Ke Hongda. Otherwise, why would he tell this to no one else but him? Ke Hongda was very excited.
The expressions on the faces of the father and daughter who were hiding inside the walls of the Shen family and eavesdropping kept changing.
Shen Xianyi went from being shocked and angry at first to being confused and finally moved.
