Chen Xiaobei looked at the coat draped over his shoulders, and then looked at the bed next to him. Cui Hongyu was gone.
Oops, I slept so deeply that I didn't even hear Cui Hongyu get up.
Chen Xiaobei quickly stood up, put his gown back on the bed, and quickly left the room.
Outside, Cui Hongyu has organized the villagers to start making soup and cooking.
"Brother Xiaobei." Village guard Chen Xiaowen saw Chen Xiaobei at a glance, shouted in surprise and rushed forward.
When everyone heard the shouting, they turned their heads and looked over, only to find Chen Xiaobei standing behind them.
As soon as they saw Chen Xiaobei, they immediately gathered around him and started asking questions, "Chief Xiaobei, are you back? How is the mountain?"
"Yes, yes, have the troops retreated?"
When Cui Hongyu heard the shouting, she turned around and saw so many people surrounding Chen Xiaobei. She knew that she wouldn't be able to squeeze in even if she came again, so she simply turned around and went to cook.
Facing the crowd, Chen Xiaobei raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Don't make any noise, everyone. Everything is normal on the mountain now. I came back because of Qiao'er's affairs."
When Chen Qiaoer was mentioned, everyone cursed Chen Sanqiu again.
Fortunately, Chen Sanqiu was not in front of him at the moment, otherwise he could have drowned this kid with just a spit of spit.
"Okay, let's all leave. After dinner, we have to go down the mountain to Xiaojia Town. We will stay at the inn starting in the evening."
As soon as I heard that I was going to stay in an inn, everyone present shook their heads.
"Chief Xiaobei, we don't want to stay in an inn. It's good here. We can chop wood during the day and sleep well at night."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "No, if you don't go, what if the officers and soldiers come to arrest you again?"
Some villagers waved their fists and said in response, "We will fight with the government troops again if they come again. The worst is possible."
"Yes, what's the big deal about just fighting with him again?"
At this time, Cui Hongyu separated from everyone and walked in.
"Husband, it's better to stay. I don't know how long I'll stay there in Xiaojia Town."
Chen Xiaobei could tell that the accommodation fee for so many people in one day was not a small amount.
Although the money can be reimbursed by Jamel Xiao later, you have to pay it yourself first. Since everyone is unwilling, let's shelve this plan.
At this moment, Liu Rumei, Liu Ce and others also came back one after another.
Seeing them coming back, the villagers immediately dispersed knowingly, knowing that Chen Xiaobei had to deal with business.
When he arrived at Chen Xiaobei's room, Liu Ce immediately started reporting straight to the point.
"The situation is basically clear. Qiao'er is locked up in a tent near Jumong's tent."
"There are at least three levels of sentries outside, and ordinary people can't get close to it."
"You can see Chen Qiaoer moving outside the tent in the morning. Judging from her mental state, she should not be in any trouble."
When Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu looked at each other, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Liu Ce drew the surrounding terrain map in detail on the paper.
Looking at the endless tents, Chen Xiaobei sighed to himself that it might not be easy to save Qiaoer.
Huang Ying, Shen Ziyan, and the Lotus Leader, who got the news at this moment, also rushed in.
As soon as Huang Ying entered the door, she asked loudly, "Is there any news? Is there any news?"
Chen Xiaobei briefly explained what Liu Ce had just said.
Huang Ying was furious after hearing this, "What are you afraid of? What about the sentry on the tenth floor? Let's rush over together and rescue Qiao'er sooner or later."
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's discuss it slowly."
After saying that, Chen Xiaobei looked around at everyone present and said, "Since Qiao'er is not in any danger, let's not rush to the rescue. Let's discuss what to do next."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei and Liu Ce looked at each other, both of them confused, "Brother Xiaobei, what do you mean?"
Chen Xiaobei pointed to the map drawn by Liu Ce, "Three hundred thousand troops surrounded Qingniu Mountain, and they only want the life of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"The villagers do not agree to move away. Even if we rescue Qiao'er today, he and Hong Yu may be arrested again tomorrow."
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, everyone was silent for a while. Although they didn't want to admit it, what Chen Xiaobei said was true.
Indeed, as long as the villagers do not leave, Cui Hongyu will not be able to leave Centipede Ridge.
Having said that, asking villagers to stay in an inn is really a headache when you think about the cost.
"So in that case, let's not be in a hurry to rescue Qiao'er. If one Chen Qiao'er can tie Zhu Meng's 300,000 troops to Qingniu County, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
Listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Liu Rumei was a little confused, but the Lotus Cult Leader next to her understood a little bit, and her eyes lit up.
"Brother Xiaobei, you mean we attack the capital?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, let the prince deal with them on the mountain, and we people will quietly rush to the capital and catch the imperial master, won't the problem be solved?"
"When the soldiers and horses of the ten princes arrive and surround Zhu Meng, all the problems will be solved. The prince will be his prince, and I will be my chief."
Liu Rumei lowered her head and thought for a while, "But we are from Wuming, why don't we go back to the mountain and invite the prince down."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "No, the prince cannot leave. Once the prince leaves, our plan will be in vain."
The Lotus Cult Master next to him smiled and said, "If you want to become a famous teacher, that's easy."
After saying this, she looked at the carrier pigeon in Liu Rumei's hand, "Isn't it enough to take the carrier pigeon up and ask for a handwriting from His Highness the Crown Prince?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. Not to mention the Lotus Leader, this idea was really high.
Liu Rumei nodded, this was a good idea. He turned to look at Ma Xiaoyi, "I'll leave this job to you. You go down and take a short rest. Then set off at dark, take the pigeon back to the original route to ask for the prince's handwriting, and quickly let the pigeon go.
Send to the capital."
Chen Xiaobei also knew that Liu Rumei and the others were too tired and needed to take a rest.
"Okay, you all should have a rest. I'll go to Xiaojia Town to get some horses, and we'll set off in the evening."
Chen Xiaobei took Chen Xiaowen and Chen Xiaobo to Xiaojia Town.
After arriving in Xiaojia Town, Chen Xiaobei's first stop was to go to Sihai Restaurant to find Feng Xiaoyue.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, Feng Xiaoyue seemed very excited.
"Brother Xiaobei, you won't be here for a while."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, I've been too busy recently, so it's a bit urgent to come to you."
"Hey, you can just say whatever you want, as long as I, Feng Xiaoyue, can do it."
Chen Xiaobei looked at it privately, opened his palms and turned it over, "I need ten fast horses, and I have to set off tonight."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoyue frowned, "This is indeed difficult, I'm afraid it will cost some money."
Chen Xiaobei took a five hundred tael silver note directly from his sleeve.
