The atmosphere in the village suddenly became tense, and the guards were also woken up, but their heads were still a little confused, these natives were so enthusiastic last night that they poured too much wine on them, and slept so dead that they didn't even know that the natives passed by them.

"What's going on! What about them! Find out for me! ”

Zhu Yunwen touched his forehead, which was still a little dizzy, and said loudly to Yun Zichen. Because he could not see a single native as far as he could see, and it was unforgivable that he had no idea of this.

Yun Zichen hurriedly asked the soldiers to look for him, and rummaged through the village, but he didn't find a single native, except for the old man.

"Your Highness, I searched all the way, but I only found this old man, and all the others were gone."

Yun Zichen staked Er Tian up and reported to Zhu Yunwen.

"Hu Ye! Wake him up for me! ”

Zhu Yunwen shouted, he followed the old man and did not understand the language, so he could only let Hu Ye act as a translator.

When Yun Zichen found Hu Ye, Hu Ye was sleeping like a dead dog, no different from Xiaoqiang next to him.

"Wake up!"

Yun Zichen kicked him violently, but Hu Ye still didn't react, and he still brought a banana leaf of water over to wake Hu Ye up from his sleep.

"Delicious!"

Hu Ye licked his tongue, reminisced about last night's wine, and muttered.

"Still drinking! Your Highness has called you over! ”

Yun Zichen gave Hu Ye a kick angrily, and now you haven't figured out what the situation is, you still sleep like a dead dog.

Gong Yiji looked at Xiao Qiang, who was still looking up, and sighed, "It's a natural pair." ”

Then follow in Hu Ye's footsteps, but you can't let Hu Ye slip through.

"You ask him what's going on, his villagers." Zhu Yunwen said angrily.

Hu Ye was still a little foggy now, and it wasn't until he saw Er Tian that he was clever. Thinking about last night, he wanted to go for another drink. But now the conditions don't allow it, he is now a translator, and he must pass on the meaning of Zhu Yunwen.

After some inquiry, Hu Ye conveyed Er Tian's words to Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Highness, he said that he knew that his trap had killed His Highness's soldiers, and he also knew that His Highness would not let them go lightly. But as the leader of the tribe, he has an obligation to protect the safety of his members. So we were all put in last night and all the villagers were out of the place. And he will follow us until we get out of this jungle. When the time comes, it will be killed or chopped, and it will be at the disposal of His Highness. ”

"Ran!"

Zhu Yunwen stood up suddenly, pulled out the long sword from Yun Zichen's waist, and put the sharp blade on Er Tian's neck. For Zhu Yunwen, this is an unforgivable crime, when he saw this group of people yesterday, they were already dead, and now they have all escaped!

What's the use of an old man? How did he account for the dead soldiers?

"Go, deal with the soldiers on duty last night. More than a hundred people disappeared, and they didn't even know it! ”

"Your Highness......"

Yun Zichen also wanted to persuade Zhu Yunwen, but was interrupted by Zhu Yunwen, "Don't go yet!" Do you want to be court-martialed too? ”

Yun Zichen stopped talking. Walk outside.

Although Er Tian didn't understand what Zhu Yunwen said again, he knew what he was going to do, so he raised his head and chattered at Hu Ye for a while.

"What is he talking about?" Zhu Yunwen asked loudly.

"Your Highness. He told you to stop dealing with the soldiers. He had the help of the gods, and all those members disappeared last night, and no one saw them. Even if it's all out of the wind, it's invisible. Hu Ye half-truthfully said to Zhu Yunwen that he was not willing to let those soldiers die in a daze because of his lies.

"Divine help? Nonsense! Zhu Yunwen yelled, and then yelled at the thousands of soldiers outside, "Find me!" Dig three feet into the ground, and tell them to find it for me! ”

Yun Zichen didn't go to look for the soldiers on duty last night, but asked them to go out to look for them, just like Lao Qian said, he is a general, and he has completely different considerations from Shuai.

He also felt sorry for the soldiers who died in the traps, but he would never put hatred on these innocent natives. It can be said that he would rather those natives disappear like this, rather than see the bloody picture of the slaughter of the village.

He is a general, let him take a butcher's knife, and go to cut down those evil bandits, the Mongols who do all kinds of evil, and the pirates who attack the people, and he will not even blink an eye. But let him slaughter these people, he really can't do it.

The old man spoke again, and he didn't seem to be a little afraid, but it made Zhu Yunwen angry.

"What is he talking about again!" The sword in Zhu Yunwen's hand shook for a moment, and it was almost stabbed in Er Tian's neck.

"Your Highness, he told me that if the whole army is drawn now, it will be possible to reach the official road before dark, and if His Highness still wastes time looking for his people, maybe he will stay here for another day."

"You threaten me!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he stabbed down with a sword, but after all, it only pierced Er Tian's skin, after all, he was such a native now, if he killed this old man, who would lead the way?

After looking for about an hour, he didn't find anything about it, which made Zhu Yunwen's anger bigger and bigger, and even Yun Zichen trembled when he spoke.

The public loses himself or dies, which makes Hu Ye very unhappy, why does he have to face these things alone? You old thing conspired with Er Tian to solve the matter, why do you want me to solve it with a little doll?

But seeing that Gong Cheng and Er Tian didn't have the heart to speak anymore, Hu Ye had no choice but to curse in his heart, and then said to Zhu Yunwen, "Your Highness, we have been in the jungle for half a month. ”

"Since it's been half a month, I'm not afraid of an extra day or two."

At this moment, Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian also came, but they didn't come to see Ertian, but brought something that made Zhu Yunwen very unhappy, that is, more than a dozen soldiers fell ill, and said that if they didn't get out of this jungle quickly, I was afraid that more people would fall ill, and it would be difficult to control it at that time.

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen didn't speak, the two old men knew that this thing was thinking about countermeasures, so they didn't say anything anymore, but just glanced at Hu Ye, meaning that we can only help you get here.

"Your Highness. Wechen had something to ask. Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian left, and Hu Ye asked loudly, this matter must be solved, Gong Yi and Er Tian are silent, obviously they have settled on themselves, so let yourself solve this matter.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yunwen is still thinking about whether to continue to look for it, and if he stays in this jungle for a long time, what will be the consequences for this trip.

"Your Highness, there is a good saying, all over the world. It is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and it is not the king's minister. This village is within the territory of my Ming Dynasty, so are these people counted as my people of the Ming Dynasty? Hu Ye asked curiously.

As soon as Hu Ye asked, Zhu Yunwen's face turned cold, he had already heard that Hu Ye was pleading for this old man.

"The people outside the world, not my people!" Zhu Yunwen replied coldly.

"Aliens? I don't think so. Hu Ye also smiled, and then said, "This old gentleman has to go to Guangzhou Mansion every year to pay tribute." The village also had to pay a part of the taxes to the Guangzhou government every year, which would eventually go to the imperial treasury. Therefore, these people are already the Ming people who pay taxes to the empire. ”

"What if they are the subjects of the Ming Dynasty? Kill my soldiers, do you just let them go? Zhu Yunwen asked coldly.

"The Japanese also killed many warriors of the Ming Dynasty. But they're now on the loose. ”

Hu Ye said loudly, he knew that these words might anger Zhu Yunwen, but there were some things that had to be done, just like he was determined to control Dongfan in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen wants to find out these villagers and kill them. It is nothing more than to establish prestige for his soldiers, and with such a commander as him, something happened. He's going to take it.

However, when he was in Penghu before, in the same situation, he let go of Ida Eryi and two large ships of Japanese robbers, for no other reason, because those widows could bring him benefits, and he was already considering the problem from the perspective of the empire's decision-makers.

These natives are useless to the empire, and if they can make him powerful, what does it matter if they kill them?

"Bold!"

Zhu Yunwen roared angrily, and the sword in his hand had moved from Er Tian's neck to Hu Ye's forehead, and the blue tendons on his face flared up. Only then did he know why his grandfather valued Hu Ye so much, it turned out that he had already seen through his plan and his intentions, and in front of Hu Ye, he felt like he was without clothes.

He needs smart people, but he only needs smart people who are obedient, and Hu Ye seems to be a little too smart for him.

Zhu Yunwen's yelling woke Xiaoqiang up, and found that someone was pointing a sword at his eldest brother, how can it work, even if you are the emperor's grandson.

So Xiao Qiang pounced towards Zhu Yunwen violently, his body was close to adulthood, and he already looked very strong, as evidenced by biting several widows to death.

However, before Xiaoqiang pounced on Zhu Yunwen, Hu Ye stopped it, this was a matter between himself and Zhu Yunwen.

I didn't expect Hu Ye's reaction to be so strong, and he actually moved the Penghu matter out. At the same time, his feet also moved, if Zhu Yunwen really wanted to do it, he had to save Hu Ye.

"Your Highness, you have to think twice."

Yun Zichen also came up, if he was contemptuous of Hu Ye before, this time he really admired Hu Ye, and at this time he dared to talk about Penghu Island.

He is not stupid, where would he not know Zhu Yunwen's considerations.

He also wanted to persuade Zhu Yunwen to skip this matter, but he didn't have the courage, he had an inexplicable fear of Zhu Yunwen, as if he was born with it.

"Your Highness, it's been almost two hours since dawn, if you want to keep looking, I can ask Xiaoqiang to help, but we will continue to be trapped here. Or if you want to kill this old man, I can also help, I can kill people with this thing, and it is no slower than your knife. But if His Highness wants to leave this jungle, he has to hurry, and if he can't make it to the official road before dark, he will stay in the jungle for an extra day. ”

Hu Ye stroked Xiao Qiang and said to Zhu Yunwen. (To be continued......)
