Chen Qiaoer thought they were looking for Cui Hongyu, so she said casually, "Sister-in-law has gone out and won't be back for a while. Just wait."
Upon hearing this, a sinister smile flashed across Chen Sanqiu's lips, and he suddenly raised his hand and slashed the back of Chen Qiaoer's neck.
Chen Qiaoer fell down in response.
When Cui Hongyu came back from walking around, he saw that Chen Qiaoer was not there, so he thought she had gone out to play and didn't care.
But when dinner was ready and Chen Qiaoer was nowhere to be seen, Cui Hongyu realized that something was wrong.
Cui Hongyu shouted Chen Qiaoer's name back and forth at the top of her lungs.
Shen Ziyan also rushed over when she heard the shouting, asked about the situation and helped to search together.
At this moment, the ancestor heard the noise and came out, and heard that Chen Qiaoer suddenly disappeared.
The ancestor felt nervous and immediately said to Chen Xiaobo, Chen Xiaowen and other village protection team members, "Quickly go from house to house and see if anyone is missing."
Chen Xiaobo and Chen Xiaowen led people to check house to house and hurried over.
"Old Ancestor, Chen Sanqiu and his wife disappeared. I found this in his house."
As Chen Xiaowen spoke, he handed over the reward notice.
The ancestor frowned and looked, "Oh no, they may have taken Qiao'er to receive the reward."
When Chen Xiaobo heard this, he couldn't help but hammered his head, "Oh, it's all my fault. I wish I hadn't brought this notice back."
Cui Hongyu shook his head, "I don't blame you for this. Even if you don't bring it back, he will know about it sooner or later, and he will take this step sooner or later."
Shen Ziyan was so angry that she was gearing up, "I'm going down the mountain to chase them. If I catch them, I'll beat them half to death."
The ancestor looked at Shen Ziyan, and then at the two maids Xiaohua and Dujuan who were behind him. Huang Ying went up the mountain and left Dujuan behind, asking him to take care of the village.
And now it comes in handy, "You three are the only ones in the village who know martial arts. After you go down the mountain, split up and chase each other to see if you can catch up. If you can't catch up, come back as soon as possible."
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Shen Ziyan led the two of them down the mountain, but they didn't know that Chen Sanqiu was very cunning at this time. He hid in the woods on the roadside not far after getting off the mountain.
Because he knew that even if he rushed all night, Zhu Meng might not receive him at night.
It would be better to wait until dawn. The people in Centipede Ridge will naturally not dare to act openly, and they will be safer.
Therefore, the pursuit by Shen Ziyan and others naturally yielded nothing. Shen Ziyan came back at midnight. Facing everyone's anxious eyes, he sighed helplessly, "I have been chasing him to the edge of the county town but there is no trace. He must have entered the city." Arrive at Zhu Meng’s camp.”
Cui Hongyu burst into tears when she heard this.
"How should I explain to my husband that I have lost Qiao'er?"
Shen Ziyan came forward and gave Cui Hongyu a hug. The two hugged each other tightly, and no one spoke.
The ancestor pondered for a moment, then made up his mind with a pause, "This matter must be known to the mountain. We must find a way to inform Chen Xiaobei."
"But Chen Xiaobei is on the mountain and is guarded by officers and soldiers. We can't go up." Chen Xiaobo looked helpless.
Chen Xiaowen also sighed, "Yes, it would be great if I could fly to the mountains."
At this moment, Cui Hongyu suddenly raised his head and said, "There is a way."
"When I came out, I brought some two-kicks made by my husband. As long as we set off the two-kicks for him to see, he would know that something happened at the bottom of the mountain and would definitely find a way to come down."
Everyone cheered when they heard this, but Chen Xiaowen then shook his head, "No, no, no, let's release it at the bottom of the mountain. You can see it at the mountain temple at most, but you can't see it if you go up. They are at the top of the mountain now..."
At this time, Shen Ziyan spoke, "This is not difficult. Isn't it just a matter of putting two legs on the mountain? I'll go."
Cui Hongyu didn't know much about Shen Ziyan's skills, and looked worried, "Don't go, don't go, it's too dangerous. Let's think of other ways. How about I go directly to Zhu Meng to change Chen Qiao'er after dawn?" return. "
The ancestor quickly spoke out to persuade, "Miss Hongyu, you can't go. If Zhu Meng knew about your relationship with Chen Xiaobei, how could he let you back? You can only throw yourself into a trap."
After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Ziyan and said, "Miss Ziyan, I'm sorry to bother you about this matter. We must find a way to inform the people on the mountain."
Chen Ziyan turned her head and looked at Cui Hongyu, and said firmly, "Sister, please don't worry, I will definitely do this well."
Cui Hongyu silently returned to the room, took out the three kickers, and carefully taught Shen Ziyan how to light them.
Shen Ziyan took the baggage, carefully wrapped the two legs, and carried them behind her.
"Okay, I will go to Qingniu Mountain now and enter the mountain before dawn."
"I should be able to get to the Chain Bridge tomorrow night."
Chen Ziyan and Chen Xiao have gone north to Qingniu Mountain and are familiar with the route. So she is very confident in her plan.
Watching Shen Ziyan disappear into the night, Cui Hongyu's heart hung up again. He returned to the room and sat under the oil lamp. Tears flowed out quietly again. He secretly prayed in his heart, Qiao'er, Qiao'er, you are so wonderful. Don't get into trouble.
The next day, when the sky was dimming, Chen Sanqiu and Liu took Chen Qiaoer to the outside of Zhu Meng's camp.
Zhu Meng hadn't even had breakfast when he heard someone reporting that someone outside could offer sacrifices to conquer Qingniu Mountain. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly ordered the people to be brought in.
Zhu Meng was confused when he saw Chen Sanqiu carrying Chen Qiaoer in.
"Who are you? What do you mean by bringing a child here?"
Chen Sanqiu put Chen Qiaoer on the ground, bowed his hands and said with a smile, "That's it, Marshal. This girl's name is Chen Qiaoer. She is the younger sister of Xiaobei who grew up in our Hetou Village."
"This Chen Xiaobei is now on Qingniu Mountain with Prince Xiao Jingyun."
"By the way, all the villagers in Hetou Village are hiding in Centipede Ridge."
Zhu Meng instantly understood what Chen Sanqiu meant, but he did not express his position and frowned with the word "Sichuan" on his face.
"Seeing that you have been working hard all the way, you should go down to rest and have some food."
Zhu Meng said and gestured to the guard next to him, who immediately stepped forward and led Chen Sanqiu out of the tent.
After sending Chen Sanqiu away, Zhu Meng immediately ordered someone to call Zhang Liao and others over.
After listening to Zhu Meng tell what happened, Zhang Liao looked happy.
"Commander, this is a good idea, worth a try."
Zhu Meng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, how do you say this?"
"Commander, the two sides are now at a deadlock. We can't attack and they can't come down. If we have this Chen Qiao'er, we can negotiate terms with Xiao Jingyun. What's more, there are more than 200 villagers in Centipede Ridge. Isn't Xiao Jingyun known as benevolent and righteous? Do you want to rule the world? Then let’s see, whether he will save Chen Qiaoer or not!”
