"Of course I'm not joking." Zhong Shan shook his head.
"But the princess is very weak right now. It's already very difficult to bring her away. If we bring eighty more people with us, how are we going to get out?" Ah Da didn't believe him.
"If King Ju Lu didn't say he would kill me, he might not even be able to get out. Now that he wants to kill me, he'll definitely be able to get everyone out. It doesn't matter how many people we bring," Zhong Shan said confidently.
Although Zhong Shan had always been able to predict the enemy's movements, it was different this time. This concerned the princess' safety. Even with Zhong Shan's previous trustworthiness, he couldn't gamble with the princess' safety.
"Teacher, this matter must be approved by the princess." Ah Da shook his head.
"That's fine." Zhong Shan nodded and walked over to the sedan chair.
"Princess," Zhong Shan called out to the sedan chair.
"What is it, Teacher?" Princess Qian You's voice came from the sedan chair.
"Ah Da, you tell me," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes," Ah Da immediately replied.
Ah Da then told Princess Qian You everything he had found out. Finally, he waited for Princess Qian You to make a decision.
"Teacher, did you recruit those people from the Lu family?" Princess Qian You asked.
"I was asked to do so. Please forgive me, Princess," Zhong Shan replied.
"Asked to do so? Haha, alright. The more I see, the more secrets you have. "Princess Qian You smiled.
"Please forgive me, Princess," Zhong Shan said again.
"Alright. Let me ask you, how confident are you with these people?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Absolutely confident," Zhong Shan said confidently.
"Alright! Ah Da, Ah Er, listen to Teacher. "Princess Qian You's voice came from the sedan chair.
"Yes," Ah Da and Ah Er immediately replied.
With Princess Qian You's support, Zhong Shan smiled and said, "Let's go to the valley."
"Alright." Ah Da and Ah Er immediately nodded.
Soon, A 'Da and A' Er rode a cloud and flew close to the ground. They brought Zhong Shan and the bridal sedan to a valley.
In the valley, there were dozens of people building simple houses. The women were cooking, and the men were chopping wood to help. It was like a paradise.
Looking at these people, Ah Da and Ah Er's eyebrows kept twitching. This group of people had not even reached the level of Inedia. In the future, they still had to eat every day. What should they do? How could he bring it out?
When Zhong Shan arrived at the valley with the bridal sedan, someone with sharp eyes saw them and immediately went to the simple house to report.
"Senior!" Those who knew him immediately greeted Zhong Shan.
Soon, Lu Jianli and Old Master Lu arrived in front of Zhong Shan.
"Senior!" Lu Jianli followed Old Master Lu's greeting.
"Are you ready? Let's go," Zhong Shan said.
"Senior, everything is ready, but Great Yu's soldiers passed by just now. There were three of them, and I caught one of them. The other two ran away, "said Lu Jianli.
"Oh, bring me there," said Zhong Shan.
"Yes," said Lu Jianli.
Walking into the house, there was a man tied up with a special rope. His eyes were filled with panic.
"Did you get anything out of him?" asked Zhong Shan.
"They're looking for us, senior, and Princess Qian You. They're certain that we've always been together," said Lu Jianli.
Smiling, Zhong Shan walked over to the bound soldier and squatted down. Looking at his panicked face, he said, "Don't worry, your two companions have already run away. They'll find us soon. I won't kill you as long as you say a word to King Julu."
"Wuwuwu."
The soldier, who was tied up and gagged, nodded his head desperately.
"Just say that Yi Yan wants to recommend me to be Great Yu's viceroy, and that General Tie Xue will personally hear it," said Zhong Shan. At the same time, his eyes shined brightly.
Ah Da was filled with confusion. What was mister doing? Wasn't this clearly increasing King Julu's desire to kill Zhong Shan?
"Did you hear that?" asked Zhong Shan as he stared at the soldier.
"Wuwuwu." The soldier repeatedly nodded.
"Let's go," said Zhong Shan.
"Yes," everyone replied.
Following that, they left together. The women no longer cooked. Instead, they cleaned up the stove and carried their children out of the valley. Ah Da and Ah Er rode a cloud and led everyone out.
They headed west.
Not long after, Great Yu's army arrived at the valley. After searching the valley, they quickly found the soldier.
"General, I saw it. It's Zhong Shan. It's Zhong Shan and the entire Lu family. He also wanted me to pass a message to His Highness, "said the soldier immediately after he was untied.
"Here? Good. Inform everyone to search in all directions and call back the northern army. As for you, come with me to meet His Highness, "said the general.
"Yes," everyone replied.
Following that, the army surrounding Zhong Shan became even more concentrated. As for the soldier, he was brought to King Julu's tent.
Within a large tent, King Julu sat on the commander's desk and looked at General Tie Xue. Wu An stood behind him, and a soldier knelt on the ground.
"General Tie Xue, is what Zhong Shan said true? Yi Yan promised Zhong Shan the position of Governor? "King Julu narrowed his eyes as he looked at General Tie Xue.
Tie Xue took a deep breath and looked at King Julu impatiently. However, he still nodded and said, "That's right. That's what Governor said."
Seeing that Tie Xue was still unconvinced, King Julu did not mind and said, "Alright, you can leave now."
"Yes," said General Tie Xue. Following that, he walked out.
Seeing General Tie Xue leave, King Julu's eyes gradually narrowed. A cold glint flashed through his eyes.
"My Highness, Zhong Shan deliberately led our troops over? How bold. Isn't he afraid we'll catch him? "Wu An frowned.
"At that time, not only did he see Zhong Shan, but he also saw Ah Da and Ah Er. This proves that Princess Qian You was also there. Because Princess Qian You is extremely weak right now, she can't travel alone. That means all of them are in that direction. Since Zhong Shan wants to die, he can't blame us," said King Julu coldly.
"Yes." Wu An nodded.
"Pass down my orders. Everyone is to search the west. Anyone who kills Zhong Shan will be rewarded with one million high grade spirit stones. Hmph, I want to see just how many pairs of wings this Zhong Shan has. How can he escape from such a tight search?"
"Yes." Wu An nodded.
In a valley, Lu Jian's family members were once again starting a fire to cook.
Ah Da and Ah Er were anxiously standing outside the sedan chair. Zhong Shan had been called in by Princess Qian You.
"Mister," said Ah Da.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"Just now, I caught a soldier and interrogated him. Now that the Grand Yu Empire's army is gathered here, we're in danger. What should we do now?" asked Ah Da worriedly.
Within the sedan chair, Zhong Shan and Princess Qian You were sitting on two different sofas. There was a tea table to the side with a teapot and two cups of water. Zhong Shan and Princess Qian You were drinking tea.
"How much has the reward for killing me increased?" Zhong Shan turned his head.
Princess Qian You smiled faintly and didn't interrupt.
"Oh? One million high grade spirit stones, "said Ah Da oddly. Mister wasn't worried about his safety right now. Why was he worried about his head?
"Tsk, this King Julu is too stingy." Zhong Shan shook his head and sighed.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Ah Da and Ah Er were speechless.
"Mister, you don't seem worried at all." Princess Qian You smiled.
"If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Let them search. Our people still need to eat, "said Zhong Shan.
"Alright, I want to see how Mister will lead this group of people across the ocean amidst an army of ten thousand." Princess Qian You smiled.
"Princess, just wait and see." Zhong Shan smiled.
After the Lu Family finished eating. Zhong Shan said, "Head north."
White Cloud carried everyone north. After flying for more than a thousand miles, Zhong Shan suddenly said, "Head west."
"To the south." "To the east."
Zhong Shan's command was very strange. One moment, he would give orders here and there. Just like that, five days passed, and they didn't encounter a single Grand Yu Empire's soldier.
Ah Da and Ah Er had a strange feeling. Could it be that the Grand Yu Empire had retreated? However, when Ah Da flew in all directions to investigate, he found that the Grand Yu Empire's army was everywhere. The Grand Yu Empire's soldiers were about to go crazy. They were flying around crazily.
Yes, the Grand Yu Empire's soldiers were going crazy. King Ju Lu was also going crazy.
Standing in the command tent, he glared at a general in front of him and said, "Speak! Continue speaking!"
"Your Highness, it's already the fifth day. We have people patrolling those places every day. Every day, we can see traces of fires and even abandoned stoves. Your Highness, we've seen ghosts. There are so many people, and they're right in front of our eyes, but we can't see them. There are even two times when they've just left and the fires they've started haven't been extinguished yet, but we still can't see them."
"Bastard, I've given you so many people, millions of soldiers, to search the area. You've found everything, but you can't find them? You idiots, have you seen ghosts? If you can't find them, I'll turn you into a ghost. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find these mortals, you idiots! "roared King Ju Lu.
"Yes!" The general immediately replied and quickly left the tent.
"Your Highness, this matter is very strange. Princess Qian You's group seems to know our search procedures. Every time, they'll pass by that place after the soldiers have finished searching. And the place they passed by just happens to be the place we're searching right now. In other words, it's always so coincidental. It's like they know how we search, where there are gaps, and where there are blind spots. How strange!" Wu An frowned.
