But even believing is useless now.

The stone deer fell into the Hong River, and all the princes and nobles knew what the Hong River was, although some unbelieving stubborns were still playing the idea of Ling Ye, but none of them could succeed, and it took years of effort to find the stone deer.

The princes and nobles are obsessed with the preciousness of the foreign beast White Deer, but they are not really fools who are useless.

The things that can be obtained are naturally not let go, but now that the goals are gone, it is better to cling to the paper drunk gold fan in front of you if you want to dream.

In this way, some people left the matter of the foreign beast White Deer behind and gradually forgot about it.

However, some scholars still competently recorded these events in bamboo briefs, making them a legend that people cannot yearn for.

………

Years and years, the sun rises and sets, and more than ten years pass in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a group of tens of thousands of people marched from west to east towards the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

This group of people are soldiers of the Qin State, and they are escorting a certain carriage.

A sound of “stop”

came from inside the carriage, and the army immediately ordered a ban.

The curtain of the car was opened, and a middle-aged man in a deep coat walked down from above, if Ling Ye was here, he would recognize this person, this person he had seen before, was the leader of the noble convoy he met in a mountain village after he left Xingguo.

Zhong’er said a few words to the general escorting, and then walked towards the river with his men.

“Lord, this is the river, the wind is strong, you better add more clothes” A crony with heavy ears came with thick clothes.

Zhong’er waved his hand and said: “This is just a tributary of the Honghe River, it’s nothing, I remember when I left the Jin country, I specifically went to the main river of the Honghe River to take a look, and the magnificent scenery I remember until now”

Several cronies behind Zhong’er looked at each other when they heard this, and a complicated smile appeared on their faces.

“The lord is right, it has been more than ten years and almost twenty years since the beginning, this road is really tiring

” “Qi, Cao, Song, Zheng, Chu, we were in exile all the way, from south to north, from east to west, we have all walked all over the Central Plains

” “Those who have achieved great things, how can they succeed without experiencing wind and rain, although these more than ten years have been a little bitter, but I have always believed that the lord can one day regain what belongs to you, And this day is already very close

” “Yes, Lord Lord, I believe that

the destiny of heaven is in you” “Is the destiny of heaven in me” listened to these four words spoken by his cronies, although his heart was surging, but he shook his head rationally.

If there was really a destiny of heaven, how could he have returned from exile for more than ten years, and the danger he encountered during this time, if it were not for his efforts, everything would have ended long ago.

“The so-called destiny lies in one’s own heart,” he whispered in his ear, and immediately walked by this tributary of the Honghe River, trying to ease the turbulence of this road.

However, just when the heavy ear walked out of tens of meters, he suddenly slipped, lost his balance, and fell into the river.

“Not good, my lord!”

Heavy Ear himself was also shocked by this accident.

Looking at the approaching rushing river below his vision, he didn’t expect that he just took a step to ease his mood, and such an accident would happen.

“Is it possible that my exile for more than ten years will end like this” Zhong Er roared unwillingly, but he was no longer willing to resist the rules of physics, and his whole body fell into the river with a pop.

The cold river water instantly invaded his body from outside his clothes, making his heavy ears tremble coldly, but his unwilling heart made him clench his teeth and hold his breath, believing that his subordinates would come to save him, and he could not give up on himself until then.

With such determination, Heavy Ear’s attention in the river is very focused.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something.

There is a strangely shaped thing at the bottom of the river, stuck inside the river wall, not like an ordinary stone, but like a statue….

“Stone carvings?”

Chapter 39: It turned out to be you, Ah Heavy

Ear’s eyes widened in amazement in the river.

How can there be stone carvings at the bottom of the river?

Shouldn’t there be only stones.

And looking at the general shape of this stone sculpture, it is not like a human form, but an animal shape.

Heavy Ear subconsciously waved his arm, trying to get closer to the stone sculpture, the turbid river could not obstruct his vision, he really saw the appearance of this stone sculpture clearly.

This is a very clearly carved deer-shaped stone sculpture.

“A stone deer, how can there be a stone deer here, no, I remember…” A

lightning flashed in his head, in the past ten years and nearly twenty years, although he has been in exile, he is not blind to the affairs outside the window, there is a seething about the trouble more than ten years ago, involving the entire Central Plains vassal state, he naturally will not know.

“This is the fossil fairy deer in the clouds back then!”

Zhong’er has seen many princes and princes in exile, and naturally some people talked about the matter of Lingye fossils, so Zhong’er understood that the rumors of the original group of bucks chasing deer and finally spirit deer fossils were real.

Just when Zhong’er wanted to continue to get closer and get close to the stone deer, the pain of suffocation suddenly increased, and he held his breath to the limit.

“Gollum”

could not hold on any longer, the heavy ear was finally choking on water, and the pain of suffocation made him faint.

At this time, his cronies finally swam down and pulled the heavy ear up in time.

“The lord choked on water, quick, help the lord to drain the waste water in the body”

The cronies with heavy ears hurried to the rescue in a panic.

Under a chaotic operation, Zhong Ear spat out the water that choked into his body, and weakly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the anxious face of his cronies and several Qin army generals.

Zhong’er’s eyes flashed, saying that he was fine and wanted to go back to the car to rest, but before leaving, he grabbed Wei Li’s clothes and quickly whispered a few words in his ear.

Wei Lian was first surprised, then nodded solemnly, and quickly went down the river while Qin Jun was not paying attention.

Because it is a tributary of the Hong River, although the water is turbulent but not comparable to the main river, with the strength of Wei Li’s first-class master, there is not much danger, and soon Wei Li returned to the shore, steamed his clothes with effort, and returned to the crowd without any trouble.

Because of the accident of heavy ears, everyone planned to rest for an hour.

Inside the carriage, Wei Li reported to Zhong’er.

“Lord Duke, it’s the same as you said, it’s that, but the card is a little dead, I can’t get it by myself at the bottom of the river” Hearing this, the heavy ear waved his hand indifferently: “No problem, the death of the card is good, anyway, I don’t plan to get it up immediately, that thing is very important, I haven’t sat in that position yet, I can’t keep it if I really get it

” “Lord Duke

, what are you talking about”

There are several other cronies in the carriage, They listened headlessly, and were only roughly sure that the heavy ear seemed to have found something important in the river.

Zhong’er looked at the cronies in front of him, these people are all old people who have been with him for more than ten years and can withstand the test of time, so Zhong’er did not hide it and said what he saw at the bottom of the river.

Several of his cronies were stunned by this statement.

It turned out to be that legend from more than ten years ago….

“That petrified fairy deer in the clouds, lord, you read that right” a crony wanted to yell excitedly, but quickly covered his mouth, but still couldn’t help but whisper excitedly.

“I may be mistaken, but Wei Li has good water ability and high martial arts, he can’t be wrong, I really didn’t expect that the stone deer that so many people couldn’t ask for back then would actually be discovered by me”

looked at the Qin army guarding him outside the carriage.

This time he wanted to rely on the power of the Qin army, but if that thing was exposed, it was not enough to say whether these people could still be used by him, so this matter had to be hidden.

“Wei Li, you will make a mark on that bank later, that position must be remembered

” “Yes, Lord Duke, the subordinates understand” “Lord Duke

, I will say that you are a person of destiny, although you fell into the river, but you found the legendary one, good fortune and misfortune, this must be God’s hint to the lord father”

Hearing this, I thought that the so-called destiny of heaven was a heavy ear pulled by a dog, but now I am full of smiles, and I believe it a little.

Looking at the position where he fell into the river, Zhong’er couldn’t help but feel infinite pride in his heart.

The herd of men was unable to chase the deer, but now he found out, whether this really meant that he would sit in that position and become the overlord of these princes.

………

In the next period of time, Zhong’er relied on the power of the Qin army to go all the way deep into the Jin country, and the contemporary Jin Guogong could not stop Zhong’er, and the common people in Jin chose to support Zhong’er.

In the end, Zhong’er sat down on the throne that belonged to him in the hearts of the people and became the new state duke, which was for the Duke of Jin Wen.

After Zhong’er became the Duke of Jin Wen, he immediately secretly arranged forces to let Wei Li go to the tributary of the Honghe River, quietly fish the stone deer stuck at the bottom of the river ashore, and smoothly escorted him back to the Jin King’s Palace.

This night, in the deep secret room of the Jin King’s Palace, Jin Wengong looked at the stone deer statue in front of him closely.

Compared to when Ling Ye had just petrified more than ten years ago, the statue at this moment had obviously changed a little.

The first is size.

At this time, the stone deer is larger than when Ling Ye was petrified, and its limbs are slightly thicker, and in the part of the antlers, the original gray-white stone color is now with some faint red.

Jin Wengong has long let his cronies see it, this red color is not caused by external forces, so it can only be an internal influence.

Duke Wengong of Jin found out the records about the fairy deer in the clouds in China more than ten years ago, and it was rewritten to explain the shape and color of Ling Ye at that time.

“Sure enough, are you the white deer who rescued that village in the first place,” Jin Wengong sighed standing in front of the stone deer.

He still remembered that when he fled the country of Jin, he passed by a mountain village and witnessed bandits raging, he asked his subordinate Wei Li to help, who knew that a deer shot first, although the deer was not an adult, but the body color at that time was exactly the same as the record of the fairy deer in the clouds.

Blood-red antlers.

White skin.

There are also good kicks, great power, and most importantly, the ability to jump in the air.

At that time, the scene where Ling Ye Lightning saved the baby who should have fallen to death, Jin Wengong witnessed it with his own eyes.

“The legendary fairy deer in the clouds, I didn’t expect that I would have intersected with you many years ago”

Jin Wengong’s palm gently stroked the stone deer, constantly recalling the picture when he saw Ling Ye in his mind.

At that time, Ling Ye was not yet an adult, but he had chivalrous behavior, but he was later besieged by a group of heroes.

When Jin Wengong thought of such an extraordinary fairy deer being forced to petrify by countless people, a heartache and anger welled up in his heart for no reason.

“The world is greedy, for their own selfish desires to harm the precious spirits of heaven and earth, such a chaotic world, since I am fortunate to meet you twice, maybe it is really the destiny of heaven, I must become the overlord of this prince, not to end the chaotic world at once, but also to let this chaotic world settle down”

Jin Wengong clenched his fists, and a resolute blazing light appeared in his eyes….

Chapter 40: The Shenlu Xingjin

Kingdom is a powerful country among the vassals, and it is in the leading position among hundreds of vassals, both in terms of land scope and military.

After the accession of Duke Wen of Jin to the throne, this leading position continued to deepen.

In war and incident after war, the Jin state was in an advantage every time and won many battles.

Whether it is the State of Zheng, the State of Chu, the State of Song, or the State of Qi, they are all jealous of the continuous strengthening of the State of Jin, but it is difficult to stop it.

Unlike other countries’ disdain and contempt for the Zhou Kingdom, Jin Wengong chose to support the policy of Zhou Tianzi, and helped in a crisis of the contemporary Zhou king, escorting the Zhou king back to the dynasty, which made the king of Zhou grateful.

After that, Duke Wen of Jin, with the order of Zhou Tianzi, constantly intervened in the wars of the original countries and prevented some countries that wantonly launched wars, although the effect was limited, but the frequency of wars was reduced.

At this time, the state of Jin can be said to be the first power among the princes, dominating the Central Plains.

Later, with the help of the orthodox status of Zhou Tianzi, Duke Wen of Jin convened an alliance of princes, and the purpose of the alliance was only one, that is, to get the princes to sign a covenant.

The content of the covenant is simple – no war will be started for fifteen years, and if any vassal state takes the initiative to start a war within fifteen years, the rest of the vassal states will join hands to destroy it.

The weak vassals of this covenant raised their hands in approval.

And those powerful vassal states that have been waging wars all year round were reluctant, but under the strong pressure of Duke Wen of Jin, who had already highlighted his position as hegemon, plus the help of Zhou Tianzi, whether they were willing or not, the princes finally signed a covenant.

For this result, Duke Wen of Jin was very happy, and he did not skimp on money on the same day and entertained the princes well.

The song and dance rose to peace, the wine was up and down, and Jin Wengong directly composed a poem in front of everyone’s eyes, and named it “Shenlu Xing”.

The content of Shenlu Xing is the story of Jin Wengong when he first met Ling Ye.

Listening to the shouting and chanting of Duke Wen of Jin, he was originally either flattering, respectful, perfunctory, or hostile, or indifferent to a famous prince and prince, all of them were surprised.

“Jin Wengong, what you said is true, did you really meet the legendary white deer when you were young?”

“Naturally, Gu will not be believing, at that time Gu was still at a loss for the future, but the appearance of that white deer made me hopeful, and Gu also learned later that the white deer that did chivalrous acts was the fairy deer in the clouds that was famous all over the world”

Jin Wengong said while drinking, his eyes revealing memories and regrets.

He did not notice that the expressions of the other princes and subordinates who served had subtly changed.
