After Boss Ye followed everyone into the mountains, someone suggested that everyone split into two groups.
Although this mountain in the suburbs of Beijing is not a very majestic mountain range, it covers a considerable area.
Dozens of them going into the mountains was like throwing sand into the desert.
The leader of the soldiers is Luo Jinsheng.
His name is very appropriate, as he is a very competitive person in his daily life.
Especially since he is nearly thirty years old now, whether he can get a promotion before he turns thirty depends on whether he can make any meritorious contributions in this year.
However, although some places in Da Qi suffered disasters this year, they were all far away from the capital.
Being a garrison troop in the capital sounds good, but daily life is too peaceful and it is almost impossible to make any achievements.
Luo Jinsheng finally got the task of leading the team into the mountains by spending money to smooth things over with his connections.
But he didn't expect Mu Zheng to come along.
Luo Jinsheng knew Mu Zheng's identity and was sure that he was here to steal the credit, so as soon as they entered the mountain, he immediately proposed to act separately.
Mu Zheng did not object and said, "Brother Ye and I are in the same team. Leave half of the soldiers to me and you can pick any others."
When Luo Jinsheng heard this, he said without any humility: "Brother Mu, I know you are good at fighting, and you have Ye Zhuangshi to help you, so I will not be polite to you if you choose someone to lead you."
Then he picked out fifteen strong soldiers and eight hunters he thought were experienced.
Mu Zheng had no objection to this. The remaining people were not old, weak or sick. They were just slightly weaker or less experienced than those who were picked.
However, those who were selected into this team were already much better than others, so Mu Zheng did not take this slight difference seriously.
Luo Jinsheng led the team to the south, and Mu Zheng asked everyone to go north.
Although Mu Zheng didn't care, those who were not selected by Luo Jinsheng were more or less dejected.
Boss Ye quietly asked Mu Zheng, "Shouldn't you give everyone some encouragement? I see everyone's spirits are a little low."
"I'm not interested in coaxing children." Mu Zheng quickened his pace without looking back.
"Hey..." Boss Ye wanted to persuade him, but he was afraid that saying too much would make Mu Zheng unhappy, so he could only follow him quickly, not caring what those people behind him were thinking.
So the group walked quietly north for the whole morning. This place was not deep in the mountains, so they could occasionally run into hunters and mountain hikers.
Mu Zheng didn't say anything, but Boss Ye made good use of his familiarity and asked them about the recent situation in the mountains.
Those who often run in the mountains have a very keen intuition about the situation in the mountains.
If there was really something wrong in the mountains, they would definitely be the first to notice it.
"It feels like some big beast has come lately. Not only are the wild boars very agitated, but other animals in the mountains are also acting strangely.
"A few days ago, I saw several sika deer running past me very quickly, as if some ferocious beast was chasing them."
"Did you see what kind of ferocious beast it was?" asked Boss Ye.
"I'm not as fast as a deer, so how could I dare to look? I wouldn't even have time to turn around and run back."
This was true. Boss Ye touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "You are so experienced. The most worrying thing at a time like this is curiosity."
"That's right. Ever since I was young, I've been following my dad into the mountains. He always told me that if you feel something's wrong in the mountains, run away immediately. Never go in to watch the fun. If you're not careful, you could become the fun yourself!"
"That's absolutely right!" Boss Ye gave a thumbs up and praised.
He kept chatting with people along the way, and some people behind him began to get impatient.
But because Mu Zheng didn't say anything, no one else dared to say anything. However, those who knew each other privately kept exchanging glances and were very dissatisfied with Boss Ye.
Everyone had only heard of him before, knowing him only as a country boy. Seeing him today proved to be true.
Especially when they saw that Boss Ye could talk to anyone and treated the other party's various speculations as treasures, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disdainful.
I feel that apart from being tall, Boss Ye doesn't look like he has any abilities.
It must be extremely lucky to be chosen by the emperor twice.
They looked at Boss Ye and had only one thought in their minds: why didn't this piece of lucky shit fall on my head?
If I had the same luck as Boss Ye, I would have already...
Boss Ye knew clearly what the people behind him were thinking, but he had no time to care at the moment. He was busy integrating the various details revealed in the words of those people just now.
Some have heard roars, others have seen deer being chased and running wildly, some have taken their dogs up the mountain, and the dogs have suddenly stopped in fear, even turning around and running back without listening to their owners' commands, and some have seen sharp scratch marks on trees and the remains of animals that have been eaten...
Boss Ye frowned, took a few quick steps to catch up with Mu Zheng, and said in a low voice: "I suspect it was a tiger that forced the wild boar down the mountain to find food."
"Tiger?" Mu Zheng frowned when he heard that. "This place is close to the capital, and there are many official roads around it. Every year the imperial court organizes people to go into the mountains to hunt large animals that can easily injure people.
"We just did it this autumn. Logically, there shouldn't be any ferocious beasts like tigers in the mountains."
“Although I have never encountered a tiger in the mountains, I have heard from veteran hunters that tigers usually keep their cubs with them for about one and a half to two years before they leave their mothers to live on their own.
