When she saw what these people were wearing, Liu Rumei frowned.
They look like ordinary people, but if you look closely, their clothes are all folded, which means that the clothes they wear seem to have just been taken out and put on. This is okay for one person, but everyone
This is too coincidental.
Liu Rumei gave Xiao Qing a look, and then looked at the noodles in the bowl.
That means don’t look around while eating noodles.
Several people nearby saw that only the two women in the corner looked a little unscrupulous, and began to discuss in low voices, "Everyone will disperse later and find out where His Royal Highness the Prince lives as soon as possible."
It turned out to be like this. Liu Rumei instantly understood that this was a spy sent.
But she remained calm. After eating, she asked Xiaoqing to follow him out.
"Miss, why didn't you let me take action just now? I can get rid of them all in three strikes, five strikes, five divides two."
Liu Rumei shook her head, "No, we don't know how many accomplices they have. If they make a mistake and Zhu Meng finds out, we will be passive."
Xiao Qing sighed, "They are looking for the whereabouts of the prince, what should we do?"
Liu Rumei smiled slightly and said, "If you find a way to let him out, just say that the prince is in our Liu Mansion."
"I think Zhu Meng, they will definitely come to our house."
"But what if they find out that the prince is not here?"
Liu Rumei smiled slightly, "Although I am not familiar with Zhu Meng, most of his generals were once my father's subordinates. They will not do anything to me, and of course I will not do anything to them."
Hearing this, Xiaoqing could only agree and turned around to make arrangements.
Sure enough, at noon, Zhu Meng and others rushed to the outside of Qingniu County, then came back to report the news.
Zhu Meng frowned when he heard that he lived in Liu Rumei's house.
"Hey, we live here, what should we do?"
Wang Long next to him stood up again, "Commander, I have received favors from Mr. Liu Hou, and I am determined not to take action in the Liu Mansion."
As soon as he opened his mouth, several people nearby also agreed, "Yes, yes, Mr. Liu Hou treated us well back then, how could we do anything in his house."
Looking at everyone's discussion, Zhu Meng secretly thought in his heart, if he forcibly ordered an attack in the Liu Mansion, would these people really do anything with him?
It seems impossible, and it will only alienate them from themselves.
He might as well just go with the flow. Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "You have received favors from Lord Marquis, haven't I? Since the prince is in the Liu Mansion, wait for lunch, change into casual clothes, and come with me to see His Highness the prince."
It can be said that Zhu Meng's attitude was very low-key. This also won everyone's favor.
But at this time, there was a different scene on Qingniu Mountain.
Liu Ce, Ma Biao and others, as well as Chen Xiaobei and other village protection team members, were still busy transporting supplies.
Judging by the speed, it will take until noon tomorrow at the earliest to transport all the materials on the steep slope across the chain bridge.
As Liu Ce and Ma Biao walked, they discussed how to arrange their manpower for layer-by-layer sniping.
"I think the steep slope is the first path, and the chain bridge is the second path."
"As long as we have serial crossbows, we can defend the chain bridge."
After listening to the discussion between the two people, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help laughing.
Liu Ce turned around and asked with surprise, "Brother Xiaobei, why are you laughing?"
Chen Xiaobei pointed behind him in the direction of the steep slope.
"You have also been on steep slopes. Do you think there are any dangerous points that can be defended there?"
"Three hundred thousand troops are swarming in, and you only have one or two hundred people. It's a fool's errand to hold on to the steep slope."
"You." Liu Ce was so angry that he just wanted to say something back, but found that he had no idea what to say. Everything Chen Xiaobei said was right.
Chen Xiaobei turned to look at Ma Biao again.
"Just now you said that you can defend the chain bridge with a serial crossbow."
"If the opponent's tens of thousands of archers pile up at the river, you can't get close to the chain bridge. How can you defend it?"
Ma Biao was stunned for a moment. He and Liu Ce looked at each other. Both of them were full of surprise.
I really didn't expect that Chen Xiaobei, who looked like just a child, had such a thorough understanding of war.
In fact, Chen Xiaobei didn't have much understanding. He just watched too many war movies and TV series in his previous life. Under such conditions, if one or two hundred people want to block an army of 300,000, unless you have absolute confidence.
Natural danger is the kind of natural danger that one man can block and no one can break, but obviously the chain bridge is not.
Liu Ce smiled and hugged Chen Xiaobei, "Then what should we do in your opinion?"
"It's very simple, tear down the chain bridge and face them across the river."
Upon hearing this, Ma Biao became a little anxious, "No, no, we won't be able to get out even if the chain bridge is demolished."
But Liu Ce slapped his hands, "Wonderful, wonderful thing is this, demolish it, they can't get across the chain bridge, but we can get down."
After saying that, he smiled knowingly.
Ma Biao came to his senses instantly and told Liu Ce that they had been to the top of the mountain before, so there must be other ways.
"Oh, then tell me where to go down the mountain."
Liu Ce's words just now reminded Chen Xiaobei that yes, he could go down the mountain. He had just found an excellent route down the mountain two days ago, and he could bypass the steep slope and bypass the mountain temple.
Thinking of this, he smiled even more happily.
Tian Wen was as happy as Chen Xiaobei. He followed the traces left by the Lotus Cult Master and finally saw a rope on the river in front of him.
Seeing this rope, he was completely relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Let me just say, Lord Lotus and the others have gone down the mountain. Look at that as evidence."
Mahan and the others also cheered for a while, "Great, we can go back to the city."
Tian Wen nodded, "Yes, thank you for your hard work. Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. I will ask for credit from Her Highness the Princess after I go back."
Just as Tian Wen and others were crossing the river, Zhu Meng led a group of his generals into Qingniu County.
Arriving at Liu Rumei's house, Zhu Meng seemed very polite and went up to knock on the door himself.
The door creaked open, Xiaoqing revealed half of his head, looked at Zhu Meng carefully, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you Marshal Zhu?"
Zhu Meng smiled and nodded, "Please inform me that Zhu Meng is here to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Qing pretended to be confused, "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Do you know where this place is?"
This sentence also confused Zhu Meng. He touched the back of his head and asked, "Isn't this Ms. Liu Rumei's residence?"
Xiao Qing bowed and said, "Yes, Marshal, this is my lady's mansion, but we don't have a prince here."
After hearing this, Zhu Meng was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Liu Rumei's voice sounded in the yard behind Xiao Qing, "Xiao Qing, what's the matter? You're making so much noise here."
