Liu Rumei immediately led the way, leading them towards her study.
At this moment, two black figures quietly appeared on the roof of Liu Rumei's house. Perhaps because the scene was too messy, Liu Rumei was not aware of it.
After entering the study, Liu Kai bowed again and said, "His Royal Highness, the capital is in great danger. Zhu Meng led an army of 300,000 to rush to Qingniu Mountain. The target is you."
Jamel Xiao nodded, "I already know this. It's hard work for the old man."
Liu Kai waved his hand again, "Your Highness has another news. On the morning of my arrival, the Imperial Preceptor issued an imperial edict in the name of the Emperor, summoning all officials of the third rank and above in the capital to enter the palace to discuss matters."
"The Marquis has judged that the Imperial Master is about to take action, so he asked me to bring someone to report to you as soon as possible."
When Jamel Xiao heard this, he slapped the table angrily, "This Sun Yuliang finally couldn't bear it anymore."
"By the way, where is my little sister? Logically speaking, she has to be in the capital, and Sun Yuliang wouldn't dare to be so blatant."
Liu Kai let out a long sigh, "To be honest, Her Royal Highness the Princess has left the capital and said she was going to Baoen Temple to pray for the Emperor, so Sun Yuliang took the opportunity..."
Princess Zhaoning, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but feel a little panicked after hearing this.
He instantly understood that the National Preceptor sent an army of 300,000 to Qingniu County not just for his brother, but for them both.
She suddenly hit her head in annoyance, "There must be Sun Yuliang's spy by my side."
Fortunately, he didn't do anything. If the brother and sister were fighting each other, he, Sun Yuliang, would have taken advantage.
At this time, Xiao Jingyun in the room continued, "Go to Baoen Temple to pray. Alas, when? Go and do this."
Liu Rumei, who was standing next to her, shook her head slightly, "Your Highness, I think things are not that simple."
"Don't forget that we trapped the princess's mentor, Lord Lotus, on the mountain."
"Maybe if the princess is anxious, it is possible to come to Qingniu Mountain."
Upon hearing this Jamel Xiao, his eyes lit up.
"Yes, Rumei, when you say that, the whole thing becomes clearer."
"My silly sister must have come to Qingniu Mountain."
"That's why Sun Yuliang sent Zhu Meng to lead an army of 300,000 people and rush over desperately."
"As long as the two of us are eliminated, it will be easy for him to ascend to the throne."
Liu Kai nodded, "Yes, all the third-grade and above officials in the capital were recruited into the palace. I'm afraid they are all hostages. I'm afraid none of them will be able to get out before the matter is resolved."
At this time, Xiao Jingyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Oh, brothers are fighting against foreign enemies together. No matter what, the fight for the crown prince is just an internal matter of our Xiao family. I don't know where my little sister is."
"If Zhu Meng meets him, it will be troublesome."
Liu Rumei cupped her fists and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to inquire about the princess. I think if the princess wants to enter Qingniu Mountain, she may come to Qingniu County first."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "Yes, let's go to Qingniu County first."
"By the way, tell Liu Ce and the others that they will stop guarding his place. If the people on the mountain want to come down, just let them come down."
Liu Rumei immediately bowed, "I'll send someone to deliver the message right now."
Taking advantage of the movement of Liu Rumei walking out, Princess Zhaoning said hello and quietly left with the little girl.
From what Xiao Jingyun said just now, it is not difficult to infer that his master and Tian Wen should still be alive.
Since they were no longer besieging his master, he would just go with the flow and show up tomorrow morning to join forces with his brother, and first defeat the national master's conspiracy.
Just when Liu Rumei sent people to Hetou Village, Master Lianhua had already led people outside Hetou Village.
Three or four miles away from the village, there was a forest, and everyone hid in it. They found a sheltered place and lit two fires.
After eating some solid food, drinking some water, and taking a rest, Jasmine asked in a low voice, "Leader, what should we do next?"
Just as Lord Lotus was about to speak, he heard a burst of noise on the road outside.
Chu Han immediately stood up and quietly floated out.
After a short while, Chu Han came back, "Master, there are several carriages heading to Hetou Village. They are pulling a lot of things. I heard they said they will send them up the mountain overnight tonight."
Hearing this, the Lotus Master's expression became serious.
"During the day, the person who sent the message said that there was a major change and asked them to withdraw, right?"
Chu Han nodded, "That's what I said."
"Then now we are anxious to transport supplies to the mountain. This means that the prince and the others will go up the mountain again."
Chu Han responded immediately, "Master, how about I follow you quietly and find an opportunity to kill the prince and the others."
Leader Lotus shook his head, "We can't be careless this time."
"Sneak into the village first to see what's going on and then come back and report. No matter what happens, don't do anything."
Chu Han agreed, put on ordinary people's clothes and followed.
Because there were so many people coming and going in Hetou Village, including people from Hetou Village, people from Cuijiazhuang, and people from the county town, no one could tell who was who.
Chen Xiaobei was still directing everyone to carry supplies to the mountain. This time, some weapons and equipment were delivered overnight, the most important of which was of course the serial crossbow.
The iron thing is so heavy that you can't put much in each person's backpack.
Chu Han took advantage of the chaos to get closer and saw that the car was full of serial crossbows. He was startled.
He knew the lethality of this thing very well, it was many times more powerful than his own cow-hair needle.
At this moment, a villager next to him pushed him aside and said, "Excuse me, please give me some space."
Chu Han's mind suddenly moved, he ducked to the side, grabbed the serial crossbow and put it into his backpack.
"This brother has worked hard."
"It's not hard work. There are fifty big men in one trip. You have to risk your life to do it!"
Chu Han found an opportunity and quietly left Hetou Village.
In the woods, after listening to Chu Han's report, the leader of Lotus frowned and said solemnly, "Bringing so many serial crossbows up the mountain, they are preparing for a long-term struggle."
"And there are fifty big men in one trip, which means the matter is very urgent."
"Yes, I didn't dare to ask any more questions about the leader, so I came back quickly."
The Lotus Leader nodded, "Okay, that's it for today. Have a good night's rest. Tomorrow I'll go to the village and find an opportunity to kill that hateful Chen Xiaobei to relieve the hatred in my heart."
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had no idea that anyone from his village had ever visited Lotus Gate.
Seeing the car full of serial crossbows, he also realized the seriousness of the matter.
It seems that letting Cui Hongyu and others leave early is the right choice.
While he was finishing his work, he pulled Chen Dachun aside.
"Brother Dachun, according to time estimates, the 300,000 troops will almost arrive in one day."
Chen Dachun obviously understood what he meant, "You mean to withdraw to Centipede Ridge tomorrow."
"Yes, you take the people over and I'll stay." Chen Xiaobei said in an understatement.
