Chapter 284: Northern Rong People
Chen Fenghe didn't need to look back to know that it was Xiao Yunshuo who said this.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wu immediately clasped his fists and said happily, "If Master Yun is willing to lend a hand, that would be the best!"
The last time they encountered a pack of wolves, if it weren't for Young Master Yun and his followers taking action, many people would have been eaten by the wolves.
If they had helped this time, catching a wild roe deer wouldn't have been so difficult.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xun couldn't help but frown and looked at Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu unhappily.
Although this Master Yun and his attendant were both ugly in appearance due to contracting smallpox, for some reason, he always had an inexplicable hostility towards them.
In terms of appearance, he is not as handsome as Pan An, but he is also handsome and certainly not inferior to this Young Master Yun.
But he also had to admit that in terms of courage, skills, demeanor, family background, etc., he was indeed ashamed of himself.
More importantly, Miss Shen also seems to have a good impression of this Mr. Yun...
"Boss, there's no need to trouble others. Wild roe deer are easy to catch. My brothers and I are enough." Yuan Xun couldn't help but say.
Chen Wu didn't understand what he meant. He shook his head and said, "This place is not like the mountains we usually walk through. If we encounter danger, Master Yun is good at fighting. It will provide an extra layer of protection, and I will feel more at ease."
Several other officers also echoed it.
Seeing this, Yuan Xun didn't say much.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Fenghe naturally could not express any opinions on this.
After everyone had agreed, Chen Fenghe and several officials, Xiao Yunshuo, Yuan Xu and others went to search for the wild roe deer and explore deep into the forest.
For Shen Fenghe, catching the roe deer was just an excuse. She mainly wanted to investigate the surrounding situation to see if there were any other suspicious situations.
It hadn't snowed in the past few days, but because the altitude was a little higher, there was still a lot of snow left from the previous fall, so the footprints left by the wild roe deer were much easier to find. Chen Fenghe led everyone to a relatively open place quickly, and sure enough, they saw a few silly wild roe deer happily gnawing on dead branches and moss in the woods.
The people hiding behind the bushes couldn't help but get excited.
"So many wild roe deer! If we could catch them all, we could sell them for a lot of money when we get down the mountain!"
"Look at you, you're so useless, just thinking about selling it for money! If you ask me, I'd better light a fire and roast it. Just imagine roasting a whole wild roe deer leg, the fat crackling on the fire, the smell is so good..."
"You still say I'm useless! Are you a good-for-nothing? You only think about eating!"
Several officers couldn't help but whisper.
Yuan Xun glanced at them unhappily and lowered his voice, "Stop joking around and start shooting! You won't get to eat the roasted roe deer leg if you just talk and don't do anything!"
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly took out the bows and arrows they had brought and aimed at the wild roe deer.
At this moment, Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Yuan Xun and other officers couldn't help but look at the two men in surprise.
In the blink of an eye, two "whoosh" sounds were heard in the air, and then two adult wild roe deer fell to the ground.
The other wild roe deer immediately ran into the bushes in panic and disappeared.
However, the arrow was not shot from their side!
"Xun...ah!" An officer was so frightened that he almost cried out. Fortunately, Xun Yuan was still alert and immediately covered his mouth. He shook his head at the other officers, signaling them not to make a sound!
As for Chen Fenghe, Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu, they naturally did not need to be reminded and knew that they needed to maintain absolute silence at this time.
Sure enough, after a while, several people came out from the bushes on the other side and walked towards the wild roe deer.
After looking at it for a while, they said a few words, then carried the wild roe deer on their shoulders and disappeared into the woods again.
They spoke loudly, but it was unclear whether it was in dialect or something else, so Chen Fenghe didn't understand what they were saying.
The expressions of Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu standing by became a little serious.
After these people disappeared for a while, one of the officers spoke tremblingly, "Xun...Xun brother, those...those people...I'm afraid...I'm afraid they are from the Northern Rong...Northern Rong..."
As soon as these words were spoken, fear appeared on the faces of the other officers.
"Xiao...Xiao Sanzi, you...you should stop talking nonsense! This...this is our Da Yu's territory, how could it be..."
However, he couldn't continue speaking halfway.
Before entering the mountains, the leader warned them that the mountains were dangerous and were the hiding place of Northern Rong spies, deserters, and bandits, so everyone should be vigilant.
Nothing happened yesterday, so they relaxed their vigilance.
But I didn’t expect that today...
It is said that the people of Beirong are tough and brutal. Even the veteran soldiers of Dayu are frightened when they hear about it, let alone these officials with only a few skills.
If they find me, I might lose my life in these mountains!
"I... I'm not talking nonsense! I have a distant cousin who often comes here for business. He knows some Beirong dialect and even learned it from me. The emphasis those people just used couldn't be wrong!"
