After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Chen Dachun shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, we have to go together. You are the backbone of our village. What will happen if you don't go back?"
Chen Xiaobei knew that Chen Dachun was speaking from the bottom of his heart, but he had his own ideas.
"Brother Dachun, if I also leave, then we will all huddle on Centipede Ridge and have no idea what is going on in Qingniu Mountain. Should we stay for half a month or a month? Should we stay for half a year or a year? Who knows?
.”
After Chen Xiaobei finished speaking, he stepped forward and said in an air of mystery, "Besides, if we can help the prince win, then we will have done our best to protect him. This is a huge achievement."
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Chen Dachun's eyes were full of longing, "Really? Then why don't you give me a chance as a general?"
Seeing Chen Dachun's excited look, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but have a thought.
Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with hugging the prince's thigh.
If you really let all the villagers hide in Centipede Ridge, it will indeed be safe. But if the prince really takes over the world, what will the villagers of Hetou Village do?
So now that the opportunity is in front of you, you must seize it and not miss it.
Thinking of this, he deliberately sighed, "Brother Dachun, otherwise, you can choose a few more people to stay with me. They can not only help the prince, but also see the development of the whole thing. Once we have the opportunity, we can also make a profit."
A share of credit.”
Hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Chen Dachun grinned.
"That's right, this is the serious thing to do, right? If the prince really wants to rule the world, then why am I also a general?"
Chen Xiaobei said to himself that there are many kinds of generals, there are those of first rank, fourth rank and fifth rank.
However, Chen Xiaobei neither refuted nor agreed with Chen Dachun's determination. He just smiled lightly and said, "Pick a few people to stay. The rest must go. We can't lose a big deal for a small amount."
Chen Dachun nodded, "Okay, I'll keep a few after dawn."
Soon the sun rose and the sky became bright. The first person to take action was not Chen Dachun, but Princess Zhaoning in Qingniu County.
Princess Zhaoning first quietly left the city with a few people, then pretended to be someone who had traveled a long way and rode her fast horse again into Qingniu County.
He knew that his performance would definitely attract a lot of attention, and it would most likely reach the ears of his brother.
Sure enough, before Xiao Jingyun had even had breakfast, news came that Princess Zhaoning had brought people to stay at the Sifang Inn.
Hearing that his sister was here, Jamel Xiao looked very excited and threw his chopsticks away, "Take me to see her quickly."
Liu Rumei, who was standing next to her, quickly bowed and persuaded, "Your Highness, I'd rather go for you. Let's talk to Your Highness the Princess first."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Jamyun frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.
"Explain the current situation to her clearly and tell her that if we, brother and sister, work together, there may still be a glimmer of hope."
Liu Rumei nodded in agreement and then turned around and went out.
At this time, in the Sihai Inn, Princess Zhaoning went back to her room to wait after breakfast. She knew that she came in very high-profile from outside the city, and she believed that someone would come to her door soon.
Sure enough, before we had sat there for a while, the little girl rushed over to report, "Your Highness, Aunt Liu Rumei is here and wants to see you."
Although Liu Rumei is only a few years older than the little girl, but in terms of seniority, Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng are brothers.
After Liu Rumei came in, she bowed respectfully to Princess Zhaoning.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Zhaoning pretended to be calm and raised her hand, "Okay, don't be polite to me, just tell me if you have anything."
The princess went straight to the point, and Liu Rumei was not too polite, "Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Prince received a letter from the capital, saying that you are coming today, so he ordered us to guard at the gates of each city, so that we can have the honor to see you.
"
In response to Liu Rumei's words, Princess Zhaoning said casually, "I wanted to visit my brother after breakfast, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Liu Rumei stood up, took out a letter from her arms, and moved forward.
"Princess, this is a personal letter written by His Highness the Crown Prince to you. Please read it."
Princess Zhaoning obviously did not expect that her brother would write a letter to her, so after receiving the letter, she hesitated for a while before opening it.
Xiao Jingyun's strategy was very clever. In addition to saying a few words about brother-sister love, he invited the princess to be a guest in Hetou Village.
After reading this letter, Princess Zhaoning couldn't help but laugh, and she laughed very happily, "My brother still likes to travel, and he actually went to a small mountain village."
Liu Rumei bowed here and said, "Your Highness Princess, this time Your Highness the Crown Prince is not traveling around the mountains and rivers, but we have received news that Generalissimo Zhu Meng has led an army of 300,000 to Qingniu County in the name of countering rebellion.
, we are going to hide in Qingniu Mountain just in case."
Although she overheard these contents last night, Princess Zhaoning still pretended to be very surprised.
"Really? Zhu Meng dares to do such a thing?"
Liu Rumei nodded, "National Master Sun Yuliang has taken control of the capital. Only if you join forces with His Highness the Crown Prince can we defeat his conspiracy. By the way, the old Prime Minister should have also become Sun Yuliang's hostage."
Princess Zhaoning pretended to be surprised again and stood up suddenly, "How do you know?"
"Because my father was also called into the palace, and all the third-rank and above officials in the capital also went there."
Princess Zhaoning waited for Liu Rumei to finish speaking, and then pretended to be worried.
"So, the Imperial Master is trying to usurp power."
Liu Rumei clasped her fists again, "The situation is critical. Princess, please come with me to the mountain. We can defeat Sun Yuliang by working together."
Princess Zhaoning nodded, "Please go back and tell my brother that I will meet him in Hetou Village as soon as possible, but I have other things to do."
Liu Rumei did not force it. She knew that Princess Zhaoning had her own news channels. She needed to confirm the news and weigh the pros and cons.
As soon as they arrived at Hetou Village, Liu Rumei heard news that the people sent to inform Ma Biao that they were retreating had not returned, and Ma Biao had not returned either.
Now the matter was serious, Liu Rumei couldn't help but frown.
This is wrong. Logically speaking, I should have been back after spending most of yesterday.
He passed the maid Xiaoqing over and said, "Go to Chen Xiaobei and ask if his village protection team members are back?"
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had gotten up early. Today was the last day. He wanted to make sure that the villagers could all evacuate safely before going down the mountain before dark.
Seeing him busy here, Huang Ying seemed a little bored, but thinking about herself boasting about protecting Chen Xiaobei in Haikou, she had to follow him.
At this moment, the disguised Lotus leader had already entered the village with Chu Han.
