Start with a deer: I have a simulator

But even believing it is useless now.

The stone deer fell into the Honghe River. All the princes and nobles knew what the Honghe River was. Although some stubborn people who did not believe in evil were still thinking about Lingye, none of them succeeded. It took several years of hard work to find it. To Shilu.

The princes and nobles are obsessed with the preciousness of the white deer, but they are not fools who are useless.

Naturally, I will not let go of what I can get, but now that there are no goals, it is better to cling to the luxury and money in front of me if I am dreaming.

Just like that, some people put the matter of the white deer, the strange beast, behind them and gradually forgot about it.

However, some scholars are still competent to record these things one by one with bamboo slips, making it a legend that people yearn for.

.........

Every year, the sun rises and sets, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

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

These people are soldiers from Qin State, and they are escorting a certain carriage.

"stop"

A voice came from inside the carriage, and the army immediately ordered to stop it.

The curtain of the car was opened, and a middle-aged man in dark clothes walked down from the top. If Ling Ye was here, he would have recognized this person. He had seen this person before. He met him in a mountain village after he left Xing Country. The leader of the noble caravan.

Chong'er said a few words to the escorting generals, and then walked towards the river with his men.

"My lord, this is by the river, and the wind is strong, you'd better put on more clothes." A confidant of Chong'er came with thick clothes.

Chong'er waved his hand and said, "This is just a tributary of the Hong River. It's nothing. I remember that when I left Jin, I went to the main river of the Hong River. I still remember the magnificent scenery until now."

The few cronies following Chong'er heard the words and looked at each other, with complicated sighs and smiles on their faces.

"My lord is right. It's been more than ten years or almost 20 years since I was in such a mess at the time. This journey is really tiring."

"Qi, Cao, Song, Zheng, Chu, we were exiled all the way back then, from south to north, from east to west, we have traveled all over the Central Plains."

"Those who achieve great things can't succeed without going through wind and rain. Although it has been a bit hard for more than ten years, I have always believed in my lord. Sooner or later, I will be able to take back what belongs to you, and this day is very close."

"That's right my lord, I believe that fate is in your hands"

"Is my destiny?" Chong'er shook his head rationally even though his heart was surging when he heard the four words spoken by his confidant.

If there is a destiny, how could he come back after being in exile for more than ten years, and the dangers encountered during this period, if not for his hard work, everything would have ended long ago.

"The so-called fate lies in one's own heart," Chong'er murmured in a low voice, and immediately stepped up and walked beside the tributary of the Honghe River, trying to relieve the torrents along the way.

However, when Chong'er walked out tens of meters, he suddenly slipped, lost his balance, and fell into the river.

"No, my lord!"

Chong Er himself was surprised by the accident.

Looking at the rushing river that was approaching under his vision, he didn't expect that such an accident would happen when he just took a walk to relieve his mood.

"Could it be that my exile for more than ten years will end like this?" Chong'er roared unwillingly, but no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't resist the laws of physics, and his whole body fell into the river with a plop.

The icy river water invaded his body instantly from the outside of his clothes, making Chong Er shiver from the cold, but his unwilling heart made him clench his teeth and hold his breath tightly. He believed that his subordinates would come to save him. Before that, he could not give up on himself. .

With such determination, Chong'er was very focused on the river.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something.

There's something weirdly shaped at the bottom of the river, stuck inside the river wall, not like an ordinary stone, but like a...

"stone carving?"

Chapter 39 It Was You

Chong'er's eyes widened in surprise in the river water.

How could 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 carving, it doesn't look like a human, but a beast.

Chong'er subconsciously swung his arms, trying to get close to the stone sculpture. The muddy river water could not hinder his sight, and he could really see the appearance of the stone sculpture clearly.

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

"A stone deer, how could there be a stone deer here, no, I remembered..."

A flash of lightning flashed through Chong'er's mind. Although he was in exile for more than ten years, he was not deaf to what was going on outside the window. Naturally, he would not be ignorant of the matter in the vassal states.

"Could this be the fossilized fairy deer in the cloud!"

During his exile, Chong'er met many princes and dukes. Naturally, some people talked about Lingye fossils, so Chong'er knew that the rumors about the fossils of the deer in the end were true.

Just when Chong'er wanted to continue to approach and come into close contact with the stone deer, the pain of suffocation suddenly increased, and he held his breath to the limit.

"goo"

Unable to hold on any longer, Chong Er finally choked on water, and the pain of suffocation made him faint.

At this time, his cronies finally swam down and pulled Chong'er up in time.

"The lord is choking on water, hurry up, help the lord to drain the waste water from the body"

Chong Er's cronies rushed to the rescue in a panic.

After a chaotic operation, Chong'er spat out the water that had choked into his body, and opened his eyes weakly. What caught his eyes was the anxious faces of his cronies and several generals of the Qin army.

Chong Er's eyes flickered, and he said that he was fine and wanted to go back to the car to rest, but before leaving, he grabbed Wei Ji's clothes and quickly whispered something in his ear.

Wei Ji was surprised at first, then nodded seriously, and quickly went down the river when Qin Jun was not paying attention.

Because it is a tributary of the Hong River, although the water flow is fast, it is not as good as the main river. With the strength of Wei Ji's first-class master, there is not much danger. Soon Wei Ji went ashore again, steamed his clothes dry with all his strength, and returned to the crowd as if nothing had happened.

Because of Chong Er's accident, everyone planned to rest for an hour.

Inside the carriage, Wei Ji reported to Chong Er.

"My lord, it's the same as you said, it's the one, but it's a bit stuck, and I can't get it up at the bottom of the river by myself."

Hearing this, Chong Er waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's okay, it's fine if the card dies, anyway, I didn't intend to get it up immediately, that thing is of great importance, I haven't sat in that position yet, and I can't keep it if I get it live"

"My lord, what are you talking about?"

There were several other cronies of Chong'er in the carriage, they listened without thinking, and they roughly confirmed that Chong'er seemed to have found something important in the river.

Chong'er looked at the cronies in front of him, these people were all old people who had followed him for more than ten years, they could stand the test of time, so Chong'er didn't hide it, and told what he saw at the bottom of the river.

This said, several cronies were all stunned.

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

"That petrified fairy deer in the cloud, my lord, you read that right?" A confidant wanted to shout excitedly, but he quickly covered his mouth, but still couldn't help but whisper excitedly.

"I might be wrong, but Wei Ji has good water skills and high martial arts, so he can't be wrong. I really didn't expect that Shilu, which so many people couldn't ask for back then, would be discovered by me."

Chong'er glanced at Qin Jun who was guarding him outside the carriage.

This time he wants to rely on the power of the Qin army, but if that thing is exposed, it is up to him whether these people can still be used by him, so this matter has to be kept a secret.

"Wei Ji, make a mark on that bank later, and you must remember that location firmly."

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate understands"

"My lord, I said that you are a man of destiny. Although you fell into the river, you found the one in the legend. Good luck and misfortune. This must be a hint from God to the lord."

Hearing this, before I thought that the so-called destiny was a big deal of nonsense, but now I was smiling all over my face, and I believed it a little bit.

Looking at the place where he fell into the river, Chong Er couldn't help feeling boundless pride in his heart.

All the heroes competed for the throne, but now he found out, does this really mean that he will sit in that position and become the overlord among the princes.

.........

In the next period of time, relying on the strength of the Qin army, Chong'er went all the way deep into the state of Jin. The contemporary Duke of Jin couldn't stop Chong'er at all, and the common people in Jin chose to support Chong'er.

In the end, Chong'er sat on the throne that belonged to him in the hearts of the people, and became the new Duke of the state, Duke Wen of Jin.

After Chong'er became Duke Wen of Jin, he immediately secretly arranged for Wei Ji to go to the tributary of the Hong River, quietly fished the stone deer stuck at the bottom of the river, and escorted him back to the Jin Palace.

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

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

The first is size.

The stone deer at this time was bigger than when Lingye was petrified, and its limbs were also slightly thicker. Moreover, the antlers were originally gray-white stone color, but now they had some faint red.

Duke Wen of Jin had shown his cronies a long time ago that the red color was not caused by external force, so it could only be caused by internal influence.

Duke Wen of Jin found a domestic record about the fairy deer in the cloud more than ten years ago, which focused on the shape and color of Lingye at that time.

"Sure enough, are you the White Deer who rescued that village back then?" Duke Wen of Jin sighed as he stood in front of the stone deer.

He still remembered that when he escaped from the state of Jin, he passed by a mountain village and saw bandits raging. He asked his subordinate Wei Ji to help, but there was a deer who made the move first. The records of Xianlu are exactly the same.

Blood red antlers.

white skin.

He is also good at kicking, has great strength, and the most important thing is that he can jump in the air.

At that time, the scene where Lingye Lightning rescued the baby who should have fallen to death was witnessed by Duke Wen of Jin.

"The legendary fairy deer in the cloud, I didn't expect that I would meet you many years ago."

Jin Wengong gently caressed Shi Lu's body with his palm, and kept recalling the scene of seeing Ling Ye in his mind.

At that time, Ling Ye was not yet an adult, but he acted chivalrously. However, he was besieged by heroes afterwards.

When Jin Wengong remembered that such an extraordinary fairy deer was forced to be petrified by countless people, heartache and anger welled up in his heart for no reason.

"Everyone in the world is greedy, and destroys the precious spirits of heaven and earth for their own selfish desires. In such a troubled world, since I, Chong Er, have been lucky enough to meet you twice, maybe it is really destiny. I must become the overlord of these princes. But we must also bring order to this chaotic world.”

Duke Wen of Jin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes showed a resolute blazing light...

Chapter 40

The state of Jin is a powerful country among the vassals, and it is in the leading position among hundreds of vassals in terms of land scope and military affairs.

After Jin Wengong came to the throne, this leading position has been continuously deepened.

In wars and incidents again and again, the Jin State was in an advantage every time, and it won many battles.

Whether it is Zheng State, Chu State, Song State, or Qi State, they are all afraid of Jin State's growing strength, but it is difficult to stop it.

Unlike other countries' disdain and contempt for the state of Zhou, Jin Wengong chose to support the policy of the emperor of Zhou, and helped the contemporary king of Zhou in a crisis, escorting the king of Zhou back to the court, which made the king of Zhou grateful.

After that, Jin Wengong continued to intervene in the wars of the Central Plains countries under the orders of the Emperor Zhou to prevent some countries from wantonly launching wars. Although the effect was limited, the frequency of wars was reduced.

The Jin State at this time can be said to be the most powerful country among the princes, dominating the Central Plains.

Later, with the help of Zhou Tianzi's orthodox position, Duke Wen of Jin convened a meeting of princes. The purpose of the meeting was only one, and that was to let the princes sign a covenant.

The content of the covenant is very simple - no war will be launched for 15 years, and once any vassal state initiates a war within 15 years, the rest of the vassal states will join forces to destroy it.

The weak princes and states agreed with this covenant.

And those powerful vassal states that waged wars all the year round were unwilling in every possible way, but under the strong persecution of Jin Wengong, who had already highlighted his overlord status, and with the help of Zhou Tianzi, whether they were willing or not, the vassals finally signed the agreement. covenant.

For this result, Jin Wengong was very happy, and he did not hesitate to entertain all the princes that day.

Singing and dancing promoted the peace, and drinking was up and down. Duke Wen of Jin directly wrote a poem in full view, and named it "Shenlu Xing".

The content of Shenlu Xing is the story of Duke Wen of Jin meeting Ling Ye for the first time.

Listening to Duke Wen of Jin's shouting and chanting, he was surprised by a famous vassal prince who was originally flattering, respectful, perfunctory, hostile, or indifferent.

"Jin Wengong, what you said is true. Did you really meet the legendary white deer when you were young?"

"Naturally, how can I talk nonsense. At that time, I was still at a loss about the future, but the appearance of the white deer gave me hope. I didn't know until later that the white deer who performed chivalrous deeds was the one who became famous later. The fairy deer in the clouds of the world"

Jin Wengong drank while talking, with memories and regrets in his eyes.

He didn't notice that the expressions of the other princes and servants who served him had subtly changed.
