The five people in the carriage looked at Ling Ye, and Ling Ye also observed them.
The clothes of these five people were obviously much better than the poor commoners Ling Ye had seen ten days ago, especially the man in the middle. He was wearing deep clothes, which only the nobles of this era were qualified to wear.
This person was obviously the leader of the five. The other four, including the bearded man with extraordinary martial arts, were all his followers.
Ling Ye was not interested in knowing who these people were. He gently put down the baby in his mouth, turned around, and jumped into the forest.
At this time, Wei Xiong had already killed all the bandits that were wreaking havoc in the village. The surviving villagers were grateful.
"Thank you for saving my life, thank you for saving my life!"
The villagers knelt down to Wei Meng with tears streaming down their faces.
Wei Xiong scratched his head uncomfortably and stroked his beard,"The decision to save you was made by my lord. If you want to thank me, thank my lord. Alright, I'm leaving. You can deal with these corpses yourselves."
Some of the villagers wanted to persuade him to stay, but Wei Rong didn't like it. He casually said a few words and used his qinggong to leave. When he returned to the carriage, the coachman waved his whip and set off again.
"Wei Rong, you've worked hard."
"Thank you for your concern, young master. Those crooked melons and broken dates are nothing to me, and I didn't kill them all."
The leader of the six nodded and looked in the direction where Ling Ye had left.
"Indeed, the credit for killing those bandits is also given to that magical white deer. There are really all kinds of strange things in the world. I used to hear that there are many rare and precious beasts in this world, and mortals rarely see them. I didn't expect to encounter such an extraordinary beast when I escaped from the capital this time."
A man who was dressed like a strategist said," Young Master, that white deer is extraordinary. Why don't you let Wei Xiong catch it? Although we escaped from the Jin Country to the Zhai Country because of Hu Yan, it is still a foreign country. Even if you have a noble status, it is inevitable that you have no choice but to live under someone else's roof. If we can offer such a strange beast to Duke Zhai, it may be of great benefit to our future operations."
The leader shook his head and looked at his followers. He said in a reprimanding tone," Dian Jie, although what you said is reasonable and I know that you are thinking about me, that white deer saved the villagers. If it is not a deer but a human, then it is a chivalrous man who helps the weak. How can I do something that harms the chivalrous man for my own benefit? Don't mention this again."
"Yes, yes, Young Master. This subordinate knows his mistake."
The man in the lead said in a gentle tone,"It's fine. It's inevitable that you think this way. Speaking of which, I was driven away by Jun Father's order, but you didn't abandon me. I will remember this kindness. Besides, you don't have to be discouraged. Although we are going to a foreign country, it's an auspicious sign that we are lucky enough to see this Exotic White Deer. I feel that God is telling me that this departure is not the end, but a beginning. I will definitely get everything I want."
The five of them looked at each other when they heard that. In the next second, they knelt down to the man in the lead.
"Young Master is right. We will follow you to the death."
Ling Ye was already far away from the village, so he didn't know what was going on in the carriage. Otherwise, he would have heard a key name, Ji Chong 'er.
The Ji surname represented many people with noble bloodlines during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
Chong 'er was the name of one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period in Ling Ye's previous life, Duke Wen of Jin.
.........
Xingtai, the capital of Xing Country.
At this time, Xingtai was in chaos, and the country was facing the danger of being destroyed and annexed by the Li Kingdom.
No, it was the fate of being annexed.
The nobles in Xingtai had all fled, and even many commoners had packed up and left.
"Ahhhh, you traitor, I…"
In the palace, State Duke Xing clutched his bleeding neck and looked at the man in front of him with fear and anger. This was his most trusted High Priest, Zou Yu.
Zou Yu sighed with a complicated expression." Duke, don't blame me. Who asked you to be the Duke? Your life can let me live. Anyway, Xing Country will fall. I've helped you do so many things. It's reasonable for you to let me use you in the end."
" You traitor, you won't have a good ending." Xing Guogong ascended to heaven after saying this.
Zou Yu snorted coldly and cut off State Duke Xing's head without a care. Then, he took his head and left the stage. In the forest five miles away from the stage, he handed the head to someone.
This was a high-ranking official from the Li Kingdom.
After checking the head in his hand, he said with satisfaction,""Not bad, you are very sincere. We will accept this gift. According to the deal, you can continue to be your priest, but the target of your service is our Li Kingdom."
" I understand," Zou Yu lowered her head and said.
"Very good. As long as you work hard for the Li Kingdom in the future, you will be rich and noble. Oh right, I heard that the general of your Xing Kingdom, Tu Nao, has not recovered from his injuries. He was seriously injured by a deer, and it was an extraordinary deer, right?"
Zou Yu's expression changed slightly, and a trace of resentment unconsciously surged out of her heart.
Originally, their Xing Country and the Li Country had similar national strengths. However, their strongest soldier, Tu Nao, had been severely injured by Ling Ye. As a result, the Xing Country's soldiers were leaderless. Although they were not completely useless, they were at a disadvantage against the Li Country.
Of course, the most important reason was Zou Yu. He had spent too much time ordering people to chase after Ling Ye, allowing the Li Kingdom to seize the opportunity to help. By the time Zou Yu's passion for catching Ling Ye had subsided, it was already too late, and the current situation had gradually formed.
Of course, Zou Yu would never admit that he was the cause of all this. In his heart, the culprit behind all this was that damn deer.
"Your Excellency is right. Tu Nao was indeed injured by a deer. I know where he is. If Your Excellency wants his life, I can."
"No, tell me about the deer."
Zou Yu was shocked.
He had thought that the other party was just asking casually, and the main point was Tu Nao. He did not expect it to be that deer.
Zou Yu really didn't want to reveal Ling Ye's situation, but he wasn't sure if Ling Ye already knew something. If he lied now and was seen through by Ling Ye, his efforts to rely on Ling Ye would go down the drain.
Sighing in her heart, Zou Yu finally told him what happened that night.
Hearing the extraordinary white deer in Zou Yu's words, the Li official's eyes could not help but grow interested.
" Interesting, interesting. There's actually such an existence in the world. My country's Duke loves these rare and exotic beasts the most. It seems like I have to put a bounty on them. When I catch them and raise them in the palace, they will become a legend in the Li Kingdom."
When Zou Yu heard the other party's words, he was extremely unhappy. He was still coveting Ling Ye and wanted to capture him to refine medicine for himself. How could he be willing to let Ling Ye be captured by the Li Kingdom? However, no matter how angry he was now, it was useless. He only hoped that Ling Ye would not be captured by others so that he would have a chance to meet him in the future.
