The big man in black armor waved his hand, apparently giving an order to his soldiers to continue on their way.
"General Lotul, I am Ye Ying, who is also the one who works for the second prince." Seeing that the pair of soldiers were about to leave, Ye Ying immediately shouted loudly. He did not want to miss this rare opportunity.
Of course, there is no basis for Ye Ying to shout like this. Although Wang Keda and the big man in black armor are still far away from Ye Ying, Ye Ying, who has his inner power attached to his ears, can still hear them. conversation.
From the conversation, Ye Ying knew that this was the captain of the team called Luo Tuer. This trip was to work for the second prince Heihan Wutu. Ye Ying suddenly remembered something in his mind. He suddenly had a plan in his mind and decided to make a bet. bet.
"What are you talking about? Come here." Ye Ying's voice was loud. Even though the distance was far away, Luo Tuer also heard it. He actually stopped moving forward and called Ye Ying to come to him.
Ye Ying walked step by step in the direction of Luo Tuer. This made Qi Jiao, Shan Fu and everyone in the caravan nervous, because they knew that Ye Ying was not the second prince at all. Once he angered this The consequences for the Northern Barbarian generals will be disastrous.
According to Ye Ying's skills, the possibility of success in escaping from ordinary people like the Jeddah tribe is still very high, but if he angers these regular northern barbarian soldiers, it will be difficult to escape.
Everyone in the caravan knew that the reason why Ye Ying did this was actually to save himself and others. For a moment, they couldn't calm down in their hearts. Only ordinary bandits have always sacrificed their lives to save their boss, but now it's the other way around. The boss has come to sacrifice his life. Save yourself and others.
Almost everyone in the caravan secretly decided that if something unexpected happened later, they would risk their lives to protect the leader and leave.
"You said you were working for His Highness the Second Prince. Is there anything you can prove? If you are just telling nonsense, I don't have a good eye for the sword in my hand." Seeing Ye Ying coming over, Lotul said with a majestic look.
"I was recommended by Master Davasi to do something for His Highness the Second Prince. I have Master Davasi's token as evidence." After Ye Ying finished speaking, he took something out of his arms and handed it to a Northern Barbarian soldier. Pass to Lotul.
The thing Ye Ying handed to the Northern Man soldiers was the rich man named Dawaxi whom he met before arriving in Manjing. However, this Dawaxi also had another identity, recruiting talents for the second prince Heihan Wutu. emissary.
"Dawasi?" After hearing Ye Ying's words, Lotul looked dubious and took what the soldier handed over - an oval sign.
Luo Tuer took a look at the sign, then turned to look at Ye Ying and the caravan, and then looked at the people from the Wankeda and Jeddah tribes, which made everyone feel uneasy.
"In that case, you can come with us." After a long time, Luo Tu'er finally raised his head and said to everyone.
As soon as Lotul's words fell, everyone present immediately showed different expressions. Everyone in the caravan was ecstatic, with expressions of relief on their faces.
On the other hand, Wang Keda and his son and some people from the Jeddah tribe looked disappointed. They looked greedily at the carriages containing goods and showed helpless expressions.
In this way, the caravan members pulled their carriages and left slowly under the gazes of other tribesmen.
When Lotul left, he seemed to have forgotten to return the package of things to Wangkeda. The package was obviously a reward from Wangkeda for hoping that Lotul would not interfere with the caravan's affairs. But at this time, Wang Keda did not dare to say a word, because these regular soldiers were not the ones they dared to provoke.
With the protection of the army, the journey became much smoother. By noon on the second day, the entire caravan was dozens of miles away from where they met Wang Keda and others.
"Okay, I will send you here. This is the sphere of influence of His Highness the Second Prince. All tribes support the Second Prince. You will not encounter trouble here." Luo Tuer explained to Ye Ying One sentence. Then he bowed his hand to him and left quickly with his men.
Seeing the pair of Northern Barbarian soldiers leaving, everyone in the caravan felt completely relaxed, and some even let out low cheers. Ever since they set foot on the road to Utu, this trip has been very unsatisfactory. Everyone has been depressed for a long time, and now they are finally completely relaxed.
As Luo Tuer said, the people in the tribe here are all supporters of the second prince. The oval sign in Ye Ying's hand is very useful here.
These northern barbarians even thought that Ye Ying was the envoy sent by the second prince, but Ye Ying had no explanation for this. Anyway, he would leave the northern barbarians soon. Even if Heihan Wutu knew that he was impersonating his identity, it would be too late.
When people from every tribe saw the caravan, they all welcomed it, and the prices for the goods sold here were also very fair.
"There is a weirdo in our tribe, who looks a bit like the person you are talking about." Maybe the bad luck of everyone in the caravan has been exhausted, but good luck has come one after another. There is news about Zhuge Ying in one of the tribes.
When Ge Gen, who was pretending to be a clerk in the caravan, heard the news, he immediately brought the Hundred Barbarian to Ye Ying, who asked him personally to question the Northern Barbarian.
"This man is a bit special. In our tribe, he is a servant who is responsible for collecting cow dung and horse dung and sending them to the crop fields. But the strange thing is that no matter how tired he is every day, he will still see things that we cannot understand. A broken book." Seeing Ye Ying asking himself, the northern barbarian did not hide anything, and immediately told everything he knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
According to the northern barbarian's account, the servant called Lao Zhutou looked a bit like Zhuge Ying in the portrait. He was exchanged from another tribe for a bag of grain a few years ago.
But this old Zhutou has obviously been tossed and turned and changed several tribes, so that no one knows his name or where he comes from?
Although he was not sure whether this old Zhuge Ying was Zhuge Ying, he finally got this clue. Of course, Ye Ying would not let go of this opportunity, so the caravan members traveled more than ten miles and arrived at the place where the northern barbarian was. Flying Bear Tribe.
The Flying Bear Tribe is a small tribe, with only five to six hundred men, women, and children in the entire tribe. However, for such a small tribe, there are actually hundreds of slaves.
Some of these slaves were captured Daning people, and some were people from the other tribe who were caught in a fight between tribes. In a place like the Northern Barbarians, where a fist is as big as a fist, this situation was very common.
These slaves had a very low status in the tribe and were often used as goods or livestock to be exchanged between tribes.
In the Feixiong tribe, Ye Ying and others finally saw the weirdo the northern barbarians called, but at the first sight of this man, the flame of hope in everyone's hearts was extinguished.
Zhuge Ying was captured by the Northern Barbarians when he was in his mid-twenties. He should be less than fifty now, but the servant named Lao Zhutou was already a bit senile at this time. Not only his hair and beard were white, He's old, he's a little staggering when walking, and his back is even hunched. He looks like he's sixty or seventy years old.
The people of the Feixiong tribe were very enthusiastic about the identity of the second prince's envoy. In order to help Ye Ying recognize him, the leader of the Feixiong tribe even had the old Zhutou wash his face, cut his hair and beard, and even changed his clothes. Also clean clothes.
Comparing the portraits, although this man is somewhat similar to Zhuge Ying, it is reasonable to say that he is Zhuge Ying's father or even his grandfather, but the difference in his real age is too far.
However, considering that the living conditions of the Northern Barbarians were difficult and they worked all day long, it was possible that Zhuge Ying would grow old quickly, so Ye Ying still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked Old Zhuge Ying.
What Ye Ying didn't expect was that this old Zhu Touqu was extremely uncooperative. Not only did he not admit that he was Zhuge Ying, he even refused to admit that he was from Daning.
Even when asked about the name and age of the old Zhutou, he did not tell Ye Ying and others because he was old and his memory was too poor. However, there was one aspect that made Ye Ying suspicious.
That is, looking at this very old old Zhu Tou, his cloudy eyes sometimes sparkled with light. Although he was questioned by Ye Ying and the elders of the Feixiong tribe, he was not as panicked as ordinary servants. The desire to seize this opportunity to change your destiny.
The leader of the Feixiong Tribe found a few tattered books that Old Zhu Tou often read, and brought some surprises to Ye Ying, because these books were actually written in Daning script, which was different from some of Old Zhu Tou’s books. The words are somewhat contradictory.
The chief of the Flying Bear Tribe asked Lao Zhutou to take off his upper body clothes, revealing a huge wound on his back. Although the wound had healed for many years, it could still be seen that the scar was caused by an arrow wound.
Back then, Zhuge Ying was shot with an arrow in the final battle with the Northern Barbarians. When he was about to jump off the tower with the arrow, he was caught by the Northern Barbarian soldiers.
With this, Ye Ying and others were almost certain that this old Zhu Touba was Zhuge Ying, who was famous in Daning back then. Unexpectedly, he would become like this after twenty years in the Northern Barbarians.
But the biggest problem now is that this old Zhutou has always been unwilling to admit that he is Zhuge Ying. At first, he was willing to say a few words to Ye Ying and others. But later, no matter what Ye Ying and others said? He simply chose to ignore it.
However, Ye Ying is also a person who is unwilling to give up. He made a decision that surprised the people of the Feixiong tribe. He would stay in Lao Zhutou's room at night, have a heart-to-heart talk with this stubborn guy, and try to open his heart. Knot.
Lao Zhutou's house was indeed too dirty and dilapidated. The chiefs and elders of the Feixiong tribe even suggested that they be willing to clean up a house for him and let them live there.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Ye Ying also became more determined. He insisted on sitting in Zhuge Ying's room. Everyone had no choice but to comply with his wishes.
That night, it was said that the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk, but in fact it was mainly Ye Ying who was talking, while Lao Zhutou lay aside as the listener.
I don't know whether he was drowsy by Ye Ying's words or was interested in what Ye Ying said. Although Lao Zhutou did not speak, he actually stayed up all the time and "dedicated himself" to completing the task of being an audience.
In order to impress Lao Zhutou, Ye Ying risked everything. From national justice to personal life and death, or from returning to one's roots to recognizing one's ancestors, Ye Ying talked earnestly for a long time, but it had no effect at all.
Since this failed to impress Lao Zhutou, Ye Ying chatted with him about the Fierce Eagle Army and Ye Fei, the Eagle Commander who led the Fierce Eagle Army in a life-and-death fight against the Northern Barbarians. They also talked about the heroic ending of this heroic commander who fought for Daning all his life, but was killed on the Motian Ridge by the Daning people he desperately protected.
After hearing the deeds of the Fierce Eagle Army and Eagle Commander Yue Fei, the old Zhutou still didn't say anything, but the sharp-eyed eagle discovered that the old man secretly wiped his tears several times in the dark night.
