When his trusted aide heard this, he was instantly stunned.
"What is it? You almost lost your life? "What about those people?"
The steward said to his trusted aide with a sad face, "Don't mention it, we were ordered by the king to take these people to the unmarked cemetery to deal with them. Who would've thought that a group of black clothed men would suddenly rush out and take them away just as we were walking into the mountains to the west of the city. The guards that went with me were also killed by them, so I ran out!"
The trusted aide found it hard to believe.
"Those guards are really amazing, why did they all die and only you ran out?"
"Sigh, I suddenly have a stomach attack halfway down, so I went to the nearby wilderness to relieve myself. Halfway through, I heard the sound of fighting, so I quickly pulled up my pants to take a look. "If you don't believe me, I'll show you. I haven't even wiped my butt yet!" When his trusted aide heard this, he knew that the butler was not lying. Normally, this old man loved to clean up, but now that he had snot on his face and tears on his face, and he had even said that he hadn't wiped his ass, he was scared out of his wits this time.
After the trusted aide heard the news, he thought that there was no need to release him. It seemed like the other side had already rescued him. Thus, he left the mansion, mounted his big horse and rode it out of the city towards Zhao Wei's camp to inform Ye Feian.
At this moment, Ye Feian was waiting for his trusted aide to come and send him away. He didn't come from the left or right, nor did he come from the right. He then saw that Zhao Wei's men were dozing off from exhaustion, so he didn't want to disturb their rest. Thus, he left five hundred elite soldiers to take the place of the enemy's sentries, so that these eight thousand men could have a good rest. He led the rest of his men back to Qingzhou City.
When he reached the city gate, he realized that his trusted aide had come back. However, he was alone. When that person saw that Ye Feian had arrived, he immediately reined in the horse's head, jumped off the horse, and kowtowed to Ye Feian.
Ye Feian found it strange, so he asked, "Why are you alone? Didn't I tell you to bring him here?"
"So it is, so it is." The trusted aide recounted everything he had heard from the old housekeeper to Ye Feian.
When Ye Feian heard this, he felt extremely aggrieved and helpless. He hadn't thought that he would already have safely arrived at the sixteen prefectures of the Mountain Sun. He hadn't expected that the other party would continue to pursue him and even kill quite a number of his personal bodyguards.
The more Ye Feian thought about it, the angrier he became. He could not help but feel a sweetness in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness!" When the guard at the side saw Ye Feian vomit blood, he was so scared that his eyes almost popped out. He looked at the shaky Ye Feian and quickly dismounted. He arrived in front of Ye Feian and extended his hand to stop him from falling to the ground.
However, this time, Ye Feian did not fall. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and retracted the anger in his eyes. He shook the reins, said a hoarse voice to the man beside him, and rode away.
The next day, when Zhang Long woke up, he found himself lying in a military tent. A pile of charcoal was burning in the middle of the military tent. Looking around, Zhang Long saw Zhao Hu, Xue Kaishan and the others.
"I'm finally saved." Zhang Long heaved a long sigh of relief as the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. However, the smile was a wound again. The smile turned into a wry smile of pain.
Before long, everyone in the tent had woken up. Only Hugel, who was severely injured, had not woken up yet. At this moment, the movement within the tent alarmed the soldiers guarding the tent. He quickly went to the tent to report to Zhao Wei. When Zhao Wei heard that they had woken up, he immediately called the military doctor over.
Arriving at the tent, the military doctor checked everyone one by one and found that they were only physically and physically injured. As long as they could recuperate in peace they would be able to recover completely. After surviving the calamity, everyone was deeply moved. Of course, when they thought about how they didn't have any brothers who couldn't survive, they could only sigh deeply.
"Okay, it looks like you guys are fine. "Send the order to send a group of people to escort them back to Anhua Province to recuperate." When Zhao Wei heard from the military doctor that there weren't too many problems with these people, he felt slightly more at ease. Thus, he sent someone to escort them out of this troublesome place.
When everyone heard that they could finally leave this damn place, they were extremely excited. At noon that day, thirty elite soldiers came out and carried them on a carriage back to Anhua Province.
And in this side chamber, Zhao Wei's mission to come here was not completed, so he could only stay and deal with Ye Feian.
Early that morning, Zhao Wei changed into casual clothes and rode into the city with two subordinates. He headed to the manor to visit Ye Feian.
Last night's situation was special. Ye Feian had personally come to the military to meet Zhao Wei. As a noble, he had personally gone to the military camp to meet the military governor of the three prefectures. This was a great honor to Zhao Wei. Therefore, Zhao Wei could not be arrogant. Early the next morning, when the sun had risen, he washed up and changed his clothes, then went to visit Ye Feian.
He asked his subordinate to bring his gift. This was the gift Luo Lingwei had given him when he was getting married. It was a 500 year-old ginseng, and it was very precious.
After a series of announcements, under the guidance of a servant, Zhao Wei arrived at the main hall of the Duke Bao Hall. At this moment, Ye Feian was sitting on the main seat in the hall.
Although there was no expression on Ye Feian's face, Zhao Wei was still an experienced person. He could still see the anger in Ye Feian's eyes.
It seemed like Ye Feian already knew about saving someone last night. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry.
The moment Zhao Wei walked into the hall, he immediately kowtowed to Ye Feian, giving him enough face. Ye Feian's expression finally eased a little.
"Governor Zhao, thank you for your hard work. Come, please take your seat." Ye Feian squeezed out a smile and said to Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei also smiled and greeted Ye Feian, "It's not hard work, I'm also responsible for it."
As he said that, Zhao Wei took out the gift he had prepared earlier.
"This is just a small gift from this lowly general. A 500 year old ginseng is not enough to be considered expensive. I hope that Your Highness will not be ridiculed. "
Ye Feian swept a cold gaze at the ginseng, indicating for the maidservant to take it into the storehouse.
"Thank you, Governor Zhao, for your good intentions." "Governor Zhao is here on the orders of the imperial government to assist me in exterminating the bandits. I wonder what Governor Zhao thinks about this matter?" Ye Feian said casually.
"Hur hur. The sixteen states of the Mountain Sun are the fiefdom of the prince. The king knows everything about the lands of the mountain and the sun very well. In addition, he is just a military man with no strategy in mind.
As soon as Zhao Wei finished, Ye Feian's eyes lit up.
"Is that true?"
