Chapter 227 Accompanying Liu Rumei into the Mountain
Yang Zhi nodded, "Then let him live here first."
When he heard that he could still sit down, Chen Ermao became excited and bowed to Yang Zhi repeatedly to thank him.
"Let's go, Ermao comes with me to the kitchen to cook."
The sky was dimming, but Chen Xiaobei and others were still laying planks on the mountain.
Ma Xiaoyi hurried down the mountain to report to Liu Rumei.
At this time, Sima Wushuang and Master Jueding had already passed the mountain temple and were walking forward. The person in charge of the investigation ran back and reported that they saw a villager coming down the mountain.
Sima Wushuang smiled slightly, "Why are the villagers panicking when they come down the mountain? Just hide and make way for him."
Everyone hid in the woods, and soon Ma Xiaoyi came over.
Watching him go away, Jue Taoist sneered, "This man is a practicing practitioner, not a villager at the foot of the mountain."
When Sima Wushuang heard this, he immediately became a little anxious, "Then I will catch up with him and kill him."
The Jueding Taoist waved his hand, "He's just an ant, why should he care about his life and death for a while?"
After listening to his words, Sima Wushuang couldn't help but laugh, "The Taoist priest is right, let him live for two more days."
Ma Xiaoyi went down to the foot of the mountain to meet Liu Rumei and reported the situation. Hearing that there were people moving up the mountain, Liu Rumei couldn't help but sigh, "We are still too late after all."
Liu Ce had a different view, "Miss, there are people moving there, which just means that their people haven't arrived yet. As long as we are fast enough, we may be able to get ahead of them."
Liu Rumei thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Then I'll go discuss with the senior to see when we can enter the mountain."
Soon a carriage drove into Qingniu County and went around to the back door of the inn.
Taiping was a little surprised to see her come during the day, but of course he knew that the matter must be urgent.
"Old senior, the National Master's people have been found on Qingniu Mountain. Please wait here for a few more days before we go into the mountain again."
After hearing her words, Master Taiping sneered, "Why do you need to enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"
"Isn't it just Qingniu Mountain? Where he went, we went too."
"You go back and make arrangements as soon as possible. We will go into the mountain today."
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xiaobei and the others had finished laying all the planks that day.
It was better to return to the original camp to rest. According to Chen Xiaobei's plan, he would have to retreat down the mountain in the middle of the night.
From now on, you will only need to bring iron wire and steel nails when going up the mountain, and there is no need to bring wooden boards.
Just cut some thick enough branches from nearby and lay them on top. Although it will consume more wire, it saves the physical strength and effort of carrying it up from the mountain.
Just when they fell asleep, Sima Wushuang also joined Sun Jian and the others.
Sun Jian took everyone to go around the Iron Chain Bridge first.
The dark iron chain reflected an indescribable coldness in the moonlight.
Looking at the iron chain and then at the opposite side, the Taoist master suddenly asked, "Sun Jian, is there any other way besides this iron cable bridge?"
Sun Jian shook his head, "I have explored it many times, but there is no other way. In the end, I had no choice but to build this bridge here."
After hearing this, the Jueding Taoist sneered twice again, "Okay, then this matter will be easy to handle."
Taoist Jueding turned to look at Sima Wushuang, "Don't they want to find the dragon vein? Don't they want to go to Qingniu Mountain? Just let them go."
Hearing his words, Sima Wushuang's eyes also lit up.
"What you mean is, let them go up the mountain, and we will hold the chain bridge and trap them to death."
Taoist Jueding nodded approvingly, "Yes, if it doesn't die in half a month, it'll be one month. If it doesn't die in one month, it'll be two months. It's autumn now, how long can it last?"
After listening to the words of the supreme Taoist, Sun Jian immediately started flattering mode, "The Taoist is right, we are guarding here. One person only needs a serial crossbow. Even if there are 100,000 heavenly soldiers, he will not be able to get through."
The top Taoist laughed and said, "As long as Liu Rumei and Master Taiping die, what confidence will Prince Xiao Jingyun have in fighting the Imperial Master?"
After sleeping in a daze until the middle of the night, Chen Xiaobei was the first to open his eyes.
According to the previous method of building iron cable bridges, we started walking down the mountain in the middle of the night. When we passed the steep slope, it was daylight and we could go down the mountain before almost dark.
Returning like an arrow, the sky was dim, and the group of people arrived at the steep slope. They were still far away. Suddenly Chen Dayong whispered, "Look there is someone over there."
Before he finished speaking, several black shadows flashed out of the trees nearby, pointing their crossbows at them.
Chen Xiaobei rubbed his slightly hazy eyes and couldn't help but smile after taking a closer look.
Isn't that Liu Ce?
Liu Ce also recognized Chen Xiaobei and couldn't help but laugh.
"It's brother Xiaobei. Our lady is right in front. You come with me."
Seeing Chen Xiaobei, Liu Rumei was still a little surprised, "Xiaobei Li Chang, why are you down here!"
Chen Xiaobei spread his hands, "I finished laying the planks and ran out of nails, so I had to come down first."
Liu Rumei nodded and raised her fist towards Chen Xiaobei, "Xiaobei Li Chang, we want to go to the top of the mountain. Can you send someone to take us there?"
Go to the top of the mountain.
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he felt extremely unhappy.
Just when he was about to shirk, Chen Dayong, who was next to him, took the initiative to ask for help without looking at the heat, "Brother Xiaobei, I'll take them there."
What Chen Xiaobei is thinking is that there are too many things to do. He could have avoided this matter, but now you can't talk about it.
Then I thought about it, Chen Dayong also had good intentions. Perhaps in his opinion, if he didn't stand up, this matter would fall on him.
But Chen Dayong has never been there. He has been to the top of the mountain himself, Da Laohei and others have been there, and they have also been there in Beginning of Winter.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei could only shake his head, "Forget it, you haven't been to the top of the mountain, how can you lead the way? Let me do this."
Liu Rumei looked very happy when Chen Xiaobei agreed.
"Don't worry, Chief Chen. We will go down the mountain in three days at most."
Chen Xiaobei knew that this was meant for Chen Dayong and others, and asked Chen Dayong and others to send a message to Cui Hongyu.
He also turned to Chen Dayong and the others and said, "Go back and tell Hong Yu so that she doesn't have to worry too much."
"By the way, don't go into the mountains to find us."
Chen Dayong nodded and left with everyone.
Seeing them all gone, Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
I have been coming to Hetou Village for so long, and I have gone up the mountain many times. Although I went up the mountain by myself to catch pheasants and dig out medicinal materials, when I walked over this steep slope, there was not a single friend from Hetou Village. This was the first time.
Liu Rumei may have sensed Chen Xiaobei's thoughts, and pointed to the woods nearby, "Everyone has something to eat here and have a rest. Liu Ce, please take people to the front to have a look. Ma Biao, when you go to the back, you must at least go out."
Five miles."
It was not difficult for Chen Xiaobei to deduce from Liu Rumei's caution that the old man with white hair and beard must be an important person.
