Zhu Meng frowned upon hearing this, "But we will bear such a bad reputation."
Zhang Liao laughed and said, "Commander, we are not the ones sitting north to south. Regardless of whether we have a bad reputation or a good reputation, who will remember it in a few years?"
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Zhu Meng finally made up his mind.
"Well, let's try it on this little girl first. If it doesn't work, we'll arrest everyone in Hetou Village."
After saying this, Zhu Meng picked up his pen and wrote a letter, and ordered someone to take it to the mountain, shoot it with an arrow to the other side, and deliver it to Prince Xiao Jingyun.
At this time, Shen Ziyan had already entered Qingniu Mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain road was rugged and not suitable for military garrisoning. Therefore, except for the occasional encounter with soldiers passing news up and down, the road was fairly flat. Before noon, Shen Ziyan arrived at the steep slope.
It's no longer possible here. At first glance, it's all densely packed with tents. It's almost impossible for me to move forward quietly, so I have to think of another way.
Shen Ziyan leaned behind a big tree, took two mouthfuls of the dry food she brought with her and closed her eyes slightly tiredly.
She hasn't stopped since last night, and she is indeed a little tired.
While I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly heard a rustling movement next to me.
Shen Ziyan opened her eyes and looked to the side. A soldier was humming a tune and was coming this way.
I unbuttoned my belt as I walked, seemingly for convenience.
Shen Ziyan thought about it and quietly stood up and looked around. There was no one around. He reached out and took out a flying knife.
He raised his hand, and a bit of cold light disappeared in a flash, and the flying knife accurately pierced the soldier's throat.
The boy didn't even make a sound. He slowly fell down and became silent.
Shen Ziyan stepped forward and took off his armor and replaced it on herself.
Find a bush, throw the body into it, Shen Ziyan walks out of the woods in a swaggering manner.
She made it all the way to the steep slope without any hindrance.
Planks have been put up on the steep slope and steps have been made, making it very convenient to go up and down.
There are not many defenders here on the steep slope. Some of the soldiers nearby were chatting together in twos and threes, and some were leaning against a stone tree and taking a nap. When Shen Ziyan came over, no one even looked at her.
Just like that, Shen Ziyan swaggered into the military camp and walked all the way forward.
At this time, a carrier pigeon landed in the Chinese army's tent in Ludong.
After reading the letter, Lu Dong frowned and handed the letter to Wang Long again.
Wang Long was a little worried after seeing it, "If we use a child to force the prince to go down the mountain, we seem to be a little defeated."
Lu Dong nodded, "Yes, when we followed the emperor to conquer the world, we didn't even kill a woman. Today, with an army of 300,000, we have to rely on children to capture Xiao Jingyun."
Wang Long smiled bitterly, "I really can't do this."
The atmosphere at the scene became a bit awkward. The two of them hesitated here for a full hour, and it was almost getting dark.
In the end, Lu Dong sighed, "That's all, isn't it just to send a message? Anyway, the child is not Xiao Jingyun that we caught. If we really caught him, we will escort him all the way. It can be considered that we have done our best. As for how to deal with it, that's Zhu Meng’s matter.”
The two of them had reached an agreement and took out paper again to write a letter.
The letter was written to Xiao Jingyun, telling him that a child named Chen Qiaoer was captured at the foot of the mountain, and if he wanted to keep the child alive, he should surrender down the mountain.
Soon, the letter arrived in the hands of Prince Xiao Jingyun.
After reading the letter, Xiao Jingyun was filled with anger and slammed the stone next to him, "You bastard, you are so inhumane, you actually used a little girl to threaten me."
When Liu Rumei next to her saw Chen Qiaoer's name, her heart tightened and she quickly said, "Your Highness, this is Chen Xiaobei's sister."
What?
Jamel Xiao was stunned for a moment. Then the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He sighed slowly, "Well, Chen Xiaobei has helped me so much, so I should return the favor to him."
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Look."
Everyone looked for the sound and saw that they were on the opposite side of the canyon. A ball of fire suddenly appeared and made a muffled sound.
Then came another group.
There were three bursts of fire and three muffled sounds in a row.
When Chen Xiaobei saw this, he stood up immediately, and the other village guards also stood up.
Chen Dayong blurted out, "Two kicks."
Yes, it is the second kicker. Chen Xiaobei is very sure that it is the second kicker.
And I did it myself.
But he asked Cui Hongyu to take all these to Centipede Ridge.
Huang Ying also frowned and said, "Who ran there to kick the ball?" Her eyes suddenly lit up, "I know it must be Sister Ziyan. Only she can pass through the military camp."
After listening to Huang Ying's words, Chen Xiaobei's mood instantly sank to the bottom of the sea.
If it was really Shen Ziyan who came to kick the ball, it could only mean one thing: there was an emergency at the foot of the mountain.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei made a decision, he wanted to go down the mountain.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Xiaobei immediately turned around to find Prince Xiao Jingyun.
When Xiao Jingyun heard that he wanted to go down the mountain, he immediately understood that the two kicks just now were their way of communicating.
In this case, there was no need to hide it, so Xiao Jingyun handed the letter in his hand to him.
"Brother Xiaobei, look at it, I am the one who has caused you trouble."
Chen Xiaobei took the letter, took one look at it and immediately trembled with anger.
"Zhu Meng is so shameless. He is making an issue out of his children. If I don't kill you, my surname will not be Chen."
Looking at Chen Xiaobei at this time, he was simply furious. Seeing his fierce look, Liu Rumei was shocked.
I didn't expect that a seemingly gentle person getting angry would be so terrifying.
Xiao Jingyun also felt a little scary about Chen Xiaobei's appearance.
When Liu Rumei saw this, she immediately stepped forward, pulled Chen Xiaobei's arm, and said softly, "Brother Xiaobei, don't be anxious, let's discuss it and see how we handle this matter."
The soft words of comfort made Chen Xiaobei gradually calm down.
He cupped his fist at Jamel Xiao and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I just lost my temper."
However, Xiao Jingyun looked stern and said in a deep voice, "This is all my fault. It's all my fault for causing you trouble. I will go down the mountain immediately to replace Chen Qiao'er."
Liu Rumei wanted to speak, but after looking at Chen Xiaobei, he felt unable to speak. What should he say? He couldn't persuade Xiao Jingyun not to go, so what would Chen Xiaobei think?
Chen Xiaobei shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, if you catch a Qiaoer and force you out, then if he catches another Qiaoer, he will force the princess out too. When hundreds of villagers are caught, your whole army will
If it is destroyed, who will Dacang rely on?"
"But if I can't protect an ordinary citizen, why would I be a prince?" Xiao Jingyun said loudly.
After hearing his statement, Chen Xiaobei felt a little relieved. At least he was a responsible prince.
