Li Ge didn't actually like Deng Ai that much, mainly because Deng Ai was a staunch supporter of the Sima clan, and his wife, children, and even grandchildren were all in Luoyang, so he couldn't possibly betray the Sima clan.

Li Ge disliked the Sima family very much, and if he had the chance, he would definitely make the Sima family hold the first winter swimming competition in Luoshui.

Consequently, they dared not risk the loyalty of Deng Ai to the Sima family. At the same time, Deng Ai was extremely harsh to his subordinates and infinitely greedy for military merits, which enabled him to secretly cross Yinping and directly attack Shu Han. However, this also meant that after he was falsely accused of treason, none of his former subordinates were willing to believe him.

His shortcomings were being harsh and ungrateful, and being fiercely loyal to Sima Yi, but everyone has flaws. At least Deng Ai was worthy of the Jin Dynasty from beginning to end.

Anyone can kill Deng Ai, but not your Sima family.

Although saving Deng Ai now is basically useless, Deng Ai would never cooperate with Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui, and saving Deng Ai may even lead to a series of troubles.

But Li Ge didn't care; he simply couldn't stand that Deng Ai died at the hands of the Sima family, and that he was unjustly killed.

He should have died at the hands of the enemy, at the hands of Jiang Wei or Zhong Hui, or on the road to dying for his country. He should have died in battle, not like a dog, dying cowardly at the hands of Sima Zhao.

So they decided to do this deal that would yield no profit.

"After observation, the escorting force for Deng Ai includes 120 cavalry and 300 infantry, with about 40% wearing armor. In this feudal ancient era, they should be considered elite troops," Xiao Ye observed and shared the information she had seen.

Li Ge glanced at them and indeed, the group was full of energy. Even the soldiers who weren't wearing armor were in good spirits and were considered elite soldiers in this era.

Li Ge retracted her previous statement. Saving Deng Ai wasn't entirely without benefit. This group of people were likely Sima Zhao's elite troops. Releasing them would only increase Sima Zhao's fighting strength. It would be better for them to be ambushed and killed by these wild, neutral ambush troops.

Li Ge was taken aback. Didn't this group of people perfectly fit the description of "wild neutral ambush troops"?

This elite force, it seems it wasn't us who ruined you, but this chaotic world!

"Wait a minute, Xiaoye and Valerie, you two had better cover your faces and not show your faces or voices. Yilian and I will handle the negotiations." Li Ge also reminded them, "Yilian, you should also try to speak as little as possible. I will handle the negotiations."

"Why?" Valerie was the most puzzled.

"That's easy. It's feudal times, so just do it. Don't ask a million questions." Yilian pressed Valerie back down, making her put her tin can on completely.

After Valerie put on the tin can, not a single bit of her skin was exposed, so no one knew that there was a Russian face inside the tin can.

As for Saya, she also has a magically armed shadow cloak, which makes her indistinguishable from animals when she hides inside. Saya can also use a falsetto, so she can easily disguise her voice as a man's.

But there's still one question: are they strong enough?

They are currently under a magic ban. In terms of raw strength, these individuals are roughly equivalent to the martial arts master Dugu Qiubai. Each of them could only manage to defeat a few dozen riders at most.

Of course, that's not a problem. They don't need to kill them all. Killing just a portion will naturally break their morale, and then things will be much easier. Besides, they even have some strange abilities.

"Here's the plan: I'll start by drawing everyone's attention, and then you guys find an opportunity to attack from both sides," Li Ge explained simply, preparing to initiate the attack and first mock everyone.

"Won't you be in danger doing this?" Yilian asked.

"Don't worry, I'll call my 'godfather' if I encounter any danger." Li Ge smiled and gave a thumbs up.

The other three: "..."

They always felt that Li Ge's integrity was getting less and less. Now he could call others godfather without any burden. Would this guy turn into a shameless person with zero integrity in the future?

So they began to take action.

At this time, the supervising officer of this group was Wei Guan, who was the one who received Sima Zhao's order to escort Deng Ai.

They found a place near a water source and said, "Let's set up camp here and take turns keeping a close watch on Deng Shizai. We mustn't let him die."

"promise!"

His men responded and began setting up camp nearby.

However, for some reason, Wei Guan felt uneasy. Even though Shu Han had been destroyed and Liu Shan was enjoying himself in Luoyang, why did he still feel restless?

It's so quiet here. There's not a trace of the Shu people in this desolate wilderness. It's completely different from when I was in Chengdu. There are only the distant chirping of unknown birds.

"You must remain vigilant, take turns keeping watch at night, and be wary of any Shu troops who remain to resist," Wei Guan reminded his soldiers.

"General Wei, why worry? This place is treacherous; where would the Shu army come from? Besides, Liu Shan has already been captured by you; Shu is doomed." Someone started to clamor.

The others joined in the commotion, and Wei Guan didn't say much, only offering a few reminders. He also relaxed a bit; the war to destroy Shu was now completely over, and even he could finally relax.

"The wind rises and the clouds fly!" A sudden voice rang out in the mountains and forests, and in that instant, goosebumps appeared on the skin of those who had just started the commotion.

"Who? Who is it?" The other soldiers also became alert.

At this moment, Li Ge swaggered down the mountain and landed dozens of meters high, exuding unparalleled confidence. This appearance stunned everyone.

He even arrogantly stretched out his hand and shouted, "Everyone, look at me! I have something to announce!"

The soldiers who had set up camp by the fire also looked over and saw the boy in strange clothes speaking the most fluent and accurate Mandarin in the firelight.

This is the capability of the system's translation module: it can translate any language into the most standard native language for others.

"Who is this scoundrel causing trouble here!" Wei Guan also saw the arrogant Li Ge at this moment, and his brows furrowed.

At first glance, such strange attire is utterly inappropriate.

At first glance, his face was fair, his teeth were white, and he was in good spirits. He must be a young master from a prominent family. Although his attire was inappropriate, he was most likely from a wealthy and powerful family in Shu. It was best not to cause trouble.

Given Wei Guan's temper, such troublemakers should have been killed on the spot, but after thinking about it, he said directly, "Guards, how dare a child enter a military camp? Throw him out!"

Then he added, "Don't go too far."

"promise!"

The other soldiers were about to throw Li Ge away, but Li Ge showed no fear. He stood with his hands clasped and looked at Wei Guan. Although Li Ge didn't know Wei Guan, he knew that he was probably the leader of this group.

So Li Ge shouted, "Godfather!"

In an instant, the soldier who was about to fork Li Ge away was also stunned. He turned his head to look at Wei Guan in confusion, as if wondering if this was really their leader's adopted son.

Wei Guan was stunned. He stood there, frozen in place, and began to question the meaning of life.

When did I acquire an adopted son in Sichuan?

When have I ever taken in an adopted son...?

No, I do seem to have an adopted son, and he is indeed dressed in such strange clothes...

In that instant, Wei Guan's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Who do we have here? It's my son..."

However, before he could even speak, a short knife had already pierced his waist from the shadows.

While Li Ge was drawing everyone's attention, Xiao Ye followed the shadows to Wei Guan's side and killed him.

When Wei Guan fell, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He never expected that he would die in this desolate wilderness, at the hands of his own son, after participating in the conquest of Shu and escorting Deng Ai. He was supposed to have made a great contribution and enjoy a life of wealth and honor as long as he returned to Luoyang.

In that instant, the entire camp erupted in chaos.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Murder! Murder! General Wei is dead!" The man who had just been about to fork Li Ge out immediately shouted, causing chaos throughout the camp.
