They have been wondering when Wen Jingchi will go to the woods to relieve himself.

Just now on the road, I deliberately gave them a lot of water to drink, and treated them to a meal before they left, which was full of soups and water.

Seeing Wen Jingchi leave, they exchanged glances.

The village chief came to Zuo Tianlin and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, wait here for a while. There is a fawn ahead. We will go and hunt it down and roast it for you to take away. It will take about two days to get to the official road from the mountain road ahead."

Hearing this, Zuo Tianlin's eyes were filled with emotion.

"Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief. I really don't know how to repay you for your kindness."

"As for whether there will be any reward or not, just be good to yourself."

The village chief spoke politely. He was afraid that Wen Jingchi would come back, so he kept his words brief and led all the villagers into the depths of the woods.

Zuo Tianlin had difficulty moving, and after walking for so long, he was very tired and needed to rest.

At the same time, Wen Jingchi and Xiaomei also came to a place where there was no one.

Xiao Mei's face was ugly, and she shouted anxiously, "Oh no, something big has happened!"

"What's wrong?"

Wen Jingchi was a little puzzled. They had all left, so what else could have happened?

"I just saw your wife being taken away. This is actually a conspiracy by the villagers. You should find a way to save her as soon as possible. The village chief whispered to others that he wanted to keep your wife, hoping that this would improve her genes and make the children she gave birth to healthy.

I don’t understand either. Anyway, you should go and save her quickly. I can’t save her alone…”

Xiaomei was so anxious that she was about to cry, and then she gave Wen Jingchi a map.

"I drew this from memory. This map can help you get back to the village. I'll go back and look at it now. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best. You guys hurry back and save her."

After handing the map to Wen Jingchi, Xiaomei turned around and walked in one direction quickly.

Wen Jingchi's face darkened to the extreme, and intense anger filled his eyes.

He really didn't expect that these villagers would dare to use such tactics on him.

Thinking of Zuo Tianlin, he immediately returned to the place and found that the villagers were gone, only Zuo Tianlin was lying on the ground sleeping.

"General Zuo, please get up quickly. The situation is not good."

Zuo Tianlin opened his eyes quickly, "What's wrong? What happened? Oh, why are you alone?"

Seeing that the other villagers had not returned yet, and looking at Wen Jingchi's expression, they realized belatedly that they had been cheated.

"Let's go back quickly. These villagers are really bold."

Wen Jingchi clenched his fists, with a strong murderous look in his eyes.

He took the sword he was wearing and returned to the village with Zuo Tianlin.

Seeing them come back, the village chief was a little puzzled. Now he was discussing important matters with everyone under the big locust tree.

"Why are you back? How did you find this place?"

They deliberately left Wenjingchi far away and took a very winding path. If there was no one to lead them, they would never have been able to come back.

But he didn't understand how the two of them came back!

Wen Jingchi sneered coldly, "Don't you know what you have done? Hand over my wife quickly."

"Don't beat around the bush in front of others. You just lied to me that you hunted a deer, so why are you back in the village now? Where did your deer go? To tell you the truth, we are relatives of the emperor!"

Zuo Tianlin exerted pressure angrily.

The village chief smiled awkwardly, "You misunderstood. I really don't know where the girl went. How about this, I'll bring some people to help you look for her."

The village chief tried to have a few people take Wen Jingchi and Zuo Tianlin to the forest to look for them, but what he did was nothing more than trying to cover up his own mistakes.

Wen Jingchi quickly drew out his sword and had no intention of wasting time talking to them.

"Don't give me that. I know my wife is here with you. Either hand her over to me, or I will kill everyone and raze your village to the ground."

"I have just sent a signal and left a map. My men will definitely find you. If you are not afraid of the village being razed to the ground, then do whatever you want!

By then, let alone reproducing offspring, all of you will have a hard time keeping your lives. Are the blessings left by your ancestors really going to be wasted in your generation?"

Having said that, the village chief was not afraid of a falling out and could only sneer at her coldly.

“Young man, you are so arrogant. I have lived for so long, but I have never seen anyone who can find our place. Many hunters come here to hunt, but they have never encountered our village.

Do you think the imperial court can find us? There are so many of us, can you two defeat them alone? Get out of here if you know what's good for you!"

The village chief had a gloomy face, without any of the kindness he had in the past.

Zuo Tianlin gnashed his teeth in anger, "You old thing are so abominable, you actually dared to capture our princess, do you believe that we will send troops to flatten you here?

Even if the two of us can't defeat you, we can still escape. Once we leave here, we will definitely be able to raze you to the ground."

The village chief threw his head back and laughed out loud as if he had heard a funny joke.

Wen Jingchi's eyes were filled with complete indifference, like a sharp knife, and he said nothing.

When he had laughed enough, he took out a small round plate.

This disk is a compass, which they rely on to determine direction when marching and fighting.

"Village chief, you have really been here for hundreds of years and your thinking has become conservative. As long as you have this compass, you can identify the direction and you won't be afraid of getting lost in this forest.

Your village is not that small. It is not difficult to find it in such a large forest. Moreover, if the imperial army surrounds these few hills, it would take only 10,000 troops to search it thoroughly. Even if you hide well, can you escape the search of 10,000 people?"

These words made the village chief's smile stop abruptly.

He didn't know what the compass Wen Jingchi was talking about, but after taking a look at it just now, he knew that it was a magical thing.

With this, they can point the direction and they can flank from all sides.

By then they will form a circle and their village will definitely not be able to escape.

The reason why no one knew about their village in the past was because few people came to this deep mountain.

In addition, outsiders are unaware of their existence, so they have been able to reproduce here for thousands of years.

If someone knew that I was looking for it on purpose, that’s another story!

The village chief's arrogance and domineering attitude disappeared in an instant, and he bent over and walked to Wen Jingchi.

"Brother, do you have to be so serious? It's just a woman. Although we are in a remote area, we have many precious herbs, enough to exchange for your wife."
