Chen Xiaobei just woke up from a dream, and quickly called Chen Dayong and Chen Daqiang, tied a thick rope on the thin rope, and asked Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan to pull it over.
Thick ropes pulled one after another.
Chen Xiaobei fixed four ropes, two up and two down, according to the original construction method of the cable bridge.
Use a thin rope to connect the two lower ropes, and then lay some branches on it. A simple rope bridge is made.
Liu Rumei was the first to jump up and walked to the other side carefully step by step.
Liu Rumei walked across the several-foot-long rope bridge in the time it took her to walk a pack of cigarettes.
She must check every point carefully to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and she must ensure Jamel Xiao's absolute safety.
After walking all the way to the other side and checking that everything was correct, Liu Rumei turned back unexpectedly.
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Rumei quickly turned back, came to the side of Prince Xiao Jingyun, clasped her fists in the air, "Your Highness, please cross the river, I will take people back to take a look."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei secretly gave Liu Rumei a thumbs up.
Yes, they have been delayed here for too long. If there are pursuers behind them, wouldn't it be wrong to launch an attack while Xiao Jingyun is crossing the river?
Before she could even think about it, Liu Rumei had already led a dozen of her subordinates to fan out and search behind them.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei was very moved. This is loyalty. Loyalty radiates from the bones.
Chen Xiaobei had an idea and discovered that he still had two landmines.
You can bury one at this end and one at the opposite end. Anyway, Liu Rumei's people know that they have mines and will pay close attention to the marks left. It will not cause accidental damage.
Liu Rumei led the people to search for two miles. After making sure that there was no danger within the reach of bows and arrows, Liu Rumei arranged sentries, and then Liu Rumei withdrew.
Chen Xiaobei told Liu Rumei his thoughts.
Liu Rumei shook her head.
"If I'm not wrong, you only have two landmines left. It's better to keep them for emergency use."
Well, since he has good intentions and others don't appreciate it, Chen Xiaobei can't say anything more.
By the time they all crossed the river, it was already noon.
After passing this river, Chen Xiaobei also roughly understood why there were no traces of people on the other side of the river.
A river, under today's technological conditions, is a natural chasm, just like when I crossed that canyon. Without that big tree, ten orioles would have been unable to do anything.
Going down further will be much smoother.
They walked to the west of the sun in one breath. At this time, there were obviously more signs of human activity on both sides of the road. They even ran into a few mountain people.
The villagers were very surprised to see so many people coming down from the mountain.
Liu Rumei gave full play to her advantages as a woman and went forward to explain that she got lost in a heavy rain and ended up walking into the mountains, and she finally found her way out.
After hearing her explanation, the villagers all laughed.
A bold villager said with a smile, "I'm afraid you came back when you reached the Longwang River and couldn't cross it."
When I heard the name of Dragon King River, I felt that the river was very mysterious.
Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but ask, "Yes, we hit a river and there is no bridge across the river. Otherwise, we would have to walk in."
After hearing his words, the villager waved his hands repeatedly.
"The river is so wide, no matter how you build a bridge, it won't be able to pass people."
Yes, a river several feet wide is a very difficult obstacle for the people to overcome.
The man turned around and pointed, "Just keep walking and you will go down the mountain. If you go down the mountain and keep walking, you will reach the official road."
Everyone seemed very excited when they heard that they were only a dozen miles away from the mountain. But when they actually came out of the mountain, the situation in front of them made people dumbfounded. They had come out of the mountain, but the situation after coming out of the mountain was similar to that of Hetou Village.
There is just a small village of a dozen households at the foot.
Liu Rumei wanted to step forward to ask for a drink of water, but was stopped by Xiao Jingyun.
"Okay, don't disturb the lives of the people, let's move forward."
After walking forward for a while, there was a slightly open road ahead. Zhou Quan took out a map from his arms, looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"Your Highness, this road is not marked on the map. Maybe we are still some distance from the official road."
At this time, there is no other choice but to continue moving forward. Even if you want to rest, you have to find a forest, and the surrounding area is bare and the crops have been harvested. It can be seen that there is not a single tree on the roadside in the distance.
At this time, Hetou Village became lively.
After Liu Ce came down from the mountain, he hesitated and went to the county seat, summoned Yang Zhi and others, and prepared to go into the mountain and give it a try.
At this moment, he got good news that Liu Tie was back with his people.
Liu Tie, the top master in the Protectorate's palace, returned from his injury, giving everyone great confidence.
After Liu Tie listened to Liu Ce's account, he sighed slightly.
"You are just careless."
"The first time they enter the woods, you should launch an attack. Be condescending and take advantage of them when they are not prepared. What a great opportunity to attack."
What he said made Liu Ce blush a little.
"Yes, a single thought led to the injury of so many brothers, and the situation became more and more passive."
Liu Tie thought for a long time and then slowly said, "Let's go into the mountain at night and reach the steep slope before dawn."
"Dawn is the time when a person is most tired."
"We took the opportunity to launch an attack and retake the steep slope."
When Liu Ce heard this, he became excited, "Then I'll go gather some people."
Just when Liu Ce and the others were preparing to enter the mountain, everything was as Chen Xiaobei expected. The leader of the Lotus Hua followed the spot chosen by Chen Xiaobei last time and descended into the canyon.
After all, there is a half-stretched and burned rope left on the canyon, which is an obvious trace.
At this time, she didn't know that she would have to walk for at least three days before she could find a way out.
Ma Biao and others who were guarding the bridge, as agreed, quietly retreated after holding on for two days.
At this time, Zhang Yu, who was guarding the steep slope of the capital, became uneasy. They had lost contact with the leader of the Lotus Sect for two days.
Two waves of people were sent out one after another, but neither the whereabouts of the Lotus Cult Master nor the whereabouts of the Crown Prince Xiao Jingyun were found.
Everyone seemed to disappear out of thin air, only he was still holding on.
This unusual scene made Zhang Yu's nerves tense.
At the foot of Qingniu Mountain, just when Liu Ce and his people were preparing to enter the mountain, Chen Dachun arrived with Cui Hongyu.
When he saw Cui Hongyu, Liu Ce showed great respect, clasped his fists at him and said, "Sister Hongyu, what do you want from me?"
Cui Hongyu bowed to him, "I heard Xiaowen and Xiaobo say that my husband and the others were blocked on the mountain. Is it true?"
Liu Ce was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. In the end, he nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, we will go up the mountain now and we will definitely take back the steep slope and let the Xiaobei brothers come down safely."
Suddenly, Liu Tie next to him shouted in surprise, "It's you, the girl."
Cui Hongyu looked at Liu Tie and was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.
