Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

The person at the top had his face covered by a veil, so his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his voice was chillingly cold. He threw the teacup on the table next to him and smashed it at the feet of the Yao chief.

"Idiot, you don't even know where they went. Do you know how much trouble it would cause for our future plans if the news that your Yao tribe wants to recruit them were to leak out?"

How could the Yao tribe leader not know this?

But his second brother was injured by a master on the day he went there, so he didn't dare to...

wrong....

Those masters...

Could it be...

"Sir, I remember something. That day, when my second brother led people there, they were interrupted by a group of strangers. I wonder if the people in thatched cottage..."

The man at the head of the group heard his words, and the black veil covering his face trembled, and he straightened his body. "Are you saying that your second brother met a stranger when he was in the Mao Clan, and that he was a master?"

"Yes, my second brother came back with injuries that day. They were planning to kidnap him and bring him back. They had already planned to attack the old man and his family in the thatched cottage, but before they could do anything, they were interrupted by a group of people."

The man in the veil pondered for a moment, then said, "Haven't you sent anyone to check on it these days? Do you know exactly when the people in the thatched cottage left?"

It was certainly strange for a stranger to suddenly appear in the thatched cottage.

However, no one can say for sure whether the departure of the Maolu people has anything to do with those unknown masters.

Although the Yao tribe leader was afraid of him, he still nodded with forced composure, "I sent someone there half a month ago, and the thatched cottage was already empty."

"So the people in thatched cottage have been gone for at least half a month?"

"Yes, sir, these are portraits of the masters that my second brother and his companions met that day." After saying that, he took out a few animal skins from his arms and handed them to the man in black.

Fortunately, his second brother came back and told him what happened that day, so he was careful. Otherwise, he might have a hard time explaining himself today.

The man in the veil took the animal skin handed to him and opened it.

Li Tianze in the space unconsciously clenched his fists when he saw the man pick up the animal skin.

When they went to pick up the person that day, they did not disguise themselves, and they did not know what appearance the Yao people would paint them as.

The man in the veil didn't know if he was familiar with them. If he was, then the North would be exposed.

Thinking of this, his fists clenched even tighter.

Leng Youran keenly felt the changes in his body, quietly held his hand, gave him a reassuring look, and motioned him to continue looking outside.

Li Tianze's hand was held by her, and the tension in his heart eased a little. He then looked outside the space and saw the man in the veiled hat outside looking at the animal skin in his hand. His hands were shaking, and even the veil on his head was shaking.

"Is this the portrait you're talking about?" he said, waving the animal skin in his hand.

The Yao tribe leader nodded slightly, "Yes." He had seen it, and the painting was very good!

Why does the person in front of me look unhappy?

He couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and only then did he see that the portrait originally drawn on the animal skin with charcoal had become so blurred that his original appearance could not be seen.

He scratched his head awkwardly and said in a flattering manner, "Sir, it might be because I carry it with me day and night, and I didn't notice it for a moment and got stained."

The man in the veil almost wanted to curse, but after thinking it over, he swallowed the words.

He was well aware of the situation of the Yao people; animal skins were in high demand among them.

The fact that he could paint portraits using animal skins showed that he really took the matter to heart.

It's just that it wasn't handled properly.

As for the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, he knew that the Yao people rarely leave the mountains and only go to their thatched cottage a few times.

Don't even think about expecting them to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The reason he wanted to gather these people together was because the Yao people did not interact with the outside world, and he thought they must yearn for life outside the mountains.

It’s a pity that the old patriarch didn’t know what was good for him, so he found the person in front of him.

Although they scolded him for being incompetent, the Yao people were full of brute force, and if used well, the knife could indeed be a useful one, so they would not really break up with the person in front of them.

"Forget it, you don't need to worry about the thatched cottage. Now that they've all left, you should think about where to take your people. Should you leave with me, or should you ask the higher-ups to find a place for you to stay and await the imperial edict?"

As for those people in the thatched cottage, we can only let other people search for them. There are not just one or two people, but hundreds of them. So no matter where they go, they will definitely cause a big noise.

He raised his head and glanced towards the direction of Liangzhou in the north, his eyes darkening.

It was probably impossible to go to the North. After all, he knew Zhu Dazhi's character and would definitely not let strangers into the city. So it could only be Liangzhou. (Here, Zhu Dazhi's affairs have not been exposed yet!)

Thinking of this, he no longer had any intention of staying. He stood up, straightened his robe, and said to the Yao tribe leader, "Stop doing stupid things. Otherwise, we don't need you anymore."

After throwing down these harsh words, he walked out of the study in a cool manner.

Of course, these words were said to scare the Yao tribe leader. If you want to hold the knife in your own hands, you must not let him feel that you cannot do without them. You must make them rush to depend on you, and only then will they be loyal to you wholeheartedly.

This is what the master said, and they have been doing this over the years, so among so many people under their command, no one has ever betrayed the master.

Of course, ignore those who suddenly disappear.

But it doesn't matter to those people. They have never been able to come into contact with it, so even if it disappears, it doesn't matter.

only.....

That person also disappeared suddenly...

The man in the veiled hat sighed heavily as if he was thinking of something, and then left.

Leng Youran saw the man disappear and quickly dodged out of the space.

It was already past midnight and her invisibility skills were activated again.

Without bothering to talk to Li Tianze, he followed the man in the veiled hat and flew out of the courtyard of the Yao tribe leader.

After the man in the veiled hat left the patriarch's courtyard, he did not walk towards the fog forest, but flew towards the mountain behind the Yao tribe.

Leng Youran was stunned for a moment, then changed her mind and continued to follow him.

"Youyou, don't be impulsive."

Li Tianze's voice rang in Leng Youran's mind, but Leng Youran ignored it and continued to follow the man in the veil.

Leng Youran didn't know how long he had been following her, so long that his invisibility skill had lost its effectiveness.

Looking at the dark mountains, the man in the veil did not stop and continued flying.

Leng Youran glanced in his direction and flashed back into the space.

He took Li Tianze out of the space and pointed to the mountain in front of him, "Tianze, do you know which direction is over there?"
