Chen Xiaobei knew very well that this canyon was more than ten feet wide and at least twenty feet deep. Using the parameters of his previous life, it would have been more than seventy meters.
It is such a high steep slope that it would take a lot of trouble for people to climb up without protection. Moreover, it is almost impossible if there are people guarding the top.
So the people on the other side who want to cross the canyon with great fanfare are most likely just pretending.
Suddenly he slapped his head.
Yes, after Liu Ce, Ma Biao and others came over, according to the prince's arrangement, the two ropes were kept hanging at the edge of the canyon.
If you grab the two ropes and come up, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, he whispered in Liu Rumei's ear, "Be careful of scheming. Let's go to the old chain bridge and have a look."
When Liu Rumei heard this, she thought it made sense, and immediately followed Chen Xiaobei out, and quietly walked towards the cable bridge.
Through the faint starlight, I could see a dark shadow moving on the opposite side. Liu Rumei smiled when she saw this scene.
She patted Chen Xiaobei's shoulder approvingly, "Brother Xiaobei, you are really good at predicting things."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly and said to himself that it was because I had predicted everything, but the objective conditions were here.
Without the help of ropes, it would be more difficult to climb up than to reach the sky.
"Let's go, let's pull up the two ropes to avoid future troubles."
The two quietly came to the edge of the cliff, found the rope, and carefully pulled it up bit by bit.
After pulling it up, Chen Xiaobei took advantage of the shelter from the wind to light the igniter and then lit the torch.
Lu Dong, who was conducting the command on the other side, was startled when he saw torches suddenly lighting up here.
Chen Xiaobei held up a torch and shouted loudly towards the other side, "People on the other side are watching. If you want to climb up with the help of these two ropes, I will cut off your thoughts today."
After saying that, the torch was placed on the rope. After a while, the rope started to burn.
Seeing that his plan was seen through, Lu Dong stamped his feet angrily, "That's it, withdraw your troops."
Hearing that Chen Xiaobei burned the rope, Xiao Jingyun sighed slightly.
"By burning the rope, it will be more difficult for us to judge the other party's next step."
Chen Xiaobei said in his heart that it was difficult to judge. There were only two ways to get over. Besides building a bridge, he could only climb it with bare hands.
The two sides reached a deadlock, and the confrontation lasted for three days. Zhu Meng lost his temper at first.
He once again summoned the generals in the army to discuss countermeasures, "Now some of the ten princes have begun to send troops here. We cannot hold on for long."
After speaking, he turned to look at Wang Long and Lu Dong, "Tell everyone the situation."
Lu Dong told the situation about the scene in detail on the map.
"The canyon is too deep for us to climb up, and it is impossible to take any further action other than a siege."
After listening to his story, military advisor Zhang Liao chuckled.
"General, I think we have a better way."
Upon hearing what he said, Zhu Meng's eyes lit up, "Oh, tell us what else we can do."
"If this continues, we will suffer the consequences of living in an unfamiliar place."
"Although there is that Mahan leading the way, it seems that he is not familiar enough with Qingniu Mountain."
"We might as well post the list again and offer a big reward to see if anyone can lead us through that canyon."
"The focus is on these villages at the foot of the mountain."
Zhu Meng listened and nodded repeatedly, "Well, that makes sense, so let's do it."
Soon, soldiers posted notices overnight in Xiaojia Town, Qingniu County, and at various official road intersections.
That day on Centipede Ridge, Chen Xiaobo once again took the purchase list and drove the donkey cart to Xiaojia Town to purchase.
On the way back from shopping, I saw such a notice posted on a big tree beside the official road.
When he saw this notice, Chen Xiaobo felt secretly nervous. Looking around, no one picked up the notice and hurriedly returned to Centipede Ridge.
When he came back and saw Cui Hongyu, Chen Xiaobo handed the notice forward.
"Sister-in-law, look at this. The army has posted a reward for someone to lead the way to Qingniu Mountain."
Cui Hongyu took it and read it from beginning to end.
After wiping it twice, he tore the notice into pieces and threw it aside.
"Ignore him, we just need to be ourselves. Tell everyone again that no one is allowed to go down the mountain, otherwise we will be severely punished."
After everyone had distributed the supplies and dispersed, Chen Sanqiu, who was silent next to him, came forward, quietly picked up the torn notice, stuffed it into his sleeves, and returned to his room.
Back in the room, Sanqiu put the notice together and read it over, feeling overjoyed.
Very good.
Chen Xiaobei is on the mountain.
The arrest of the prince and the arrest of Chen Xiaobei are the same.
Chen Sanqiu has never been to the mountains and is not familiar with the terrain on the mountains, but he is familiar with the village.
As long as Chen Xiaobei is forced to take the initiative to go down the mountain, wouldn't that be enough?
Thinking of this, Chen Sanqiu had an idea. Who is the person Chen Xiaobei cares about most? Of course it is Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer.
Seeing that he was silent here, his wife Liu said, "Husband, what are you thinking about here?"
Chen Sanqiu pointed to the notice on the table, "Look, the opportunity to make a fortune is here."
"But you haven't been to the mountain, and you don't know where they are hiding."
Faced with such a question, Chen Sanqiu chuckled and said, "This matter is simple. We just need to capture Chen Qiaoer and Cui Hongyu and send them to Marshal Zhu. We don't have to worry about Chen Xiaobei not coming out obediently."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu's head shook like a rattle, "Husband, aren't you asking the villagers to stab us in the back? We can't do this."
Chen Sanqiu's eyes widened, "What do you know? After we get the reward, why don't we go back to Hetou Village? Find a place to be free and live happily for the rest of our lives."
"No, I can't go. You have to go by yourself."
Chen Sanqiu's face turned ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Have you thought clearly, I kidnapped him, can you still stay in the village?"
Faced with Chen Sanqiu's hard work, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to finally sigh, "I'm so blind, why did I fall in love with you?"
Chen Sanqiu chuckled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, just think about it. Earning money is better than anything else."
Mrs. Liu looked at him and said, "But I have a condition. I can only catch one."
Mrs. Liu's intention was to capture Cui Hongyu and keep Chen Qiao'er, but who knew that when she said this, Chen Sanqiu immediately took over and said, "Well, it will be convenient to capture a small one and take her with you."
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu knew that her rebuttal was useless, so she could only nod in agreement.
It was going to be dark in a blink of an eye, so Cui Hongyu asked Chen Qiaoer to wait in the room while she patrolled the entire Centipede Ridge to see if there were any loopholes.
Chen Qiaoer was practicing writing in the house. When she heard someone knocking on the door, the unsuspecting child walked up and opened the door.
