Zhu Meng pointed at Zhu Yan's nose and shouted sternly, "I'll let you be in charge of guarding the camp. It's a good thing for you. I don't know what you do for food if you are missing."
Zhu Yan looked aggrieved, "Commander, I've asked everyone, and no one saw how this person left the camp."
"Nonsense, if someone could see him, he would have been captured a long time ago. There are so many people who can't even watch this stupid kid."
At this time, Zhang Liao, who was standing next to him, raised his fist towards Zhu Meng and said in a deep voice, "Commander, since there is no use losing your anger, let's think about what to do next."
Zhu Meng sighed and sat down on the handsome chair.
He raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Liao, "Then tell me what to do next."
Zhang Liao gritted his teeth, and his heart pounded, "Since the commander-in-chief has made the move, let's not worry so much. Aren't all the villagers in Hetou Village sitting around in Centipede Ridge? We immediately sent troops to Centipede Ridge and took over 200 people.
It’s up to him to change Xiao Jingyun’s life or not.”
After hearing this, Zhu Meng looked hesitant.
At this time, Zhu Yan next to him spoke, "Commander, I am willing to take the lead and make meritorious deeds."
Speaking of which, Zhu Meng had no choice.
"Okay, I'll give you 30,000 troops to capture the people."
"Remember not to hurt the elderly or children."
Zhu Meng still retained the last trace of his conscience.
Chen Xiaobei and others had finished breakfast and were about to sleep on the bed for a while when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming down the mountain."
After hearing these words, Chen Xiaobei jumped up from the bed like a carp.
Chen Xiaowen, a member of the village protection team who came upon the scene, rushed into the village in a hurry, stood in the open space, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"The army is coming, the army is coming."
Soon Prince Xiao Jingyun, Princess Zhaoning and others gathered around.
Chen Xiaobei took Chen Xiaowen's arm and said, "Don't rush to shout. Let me ask you, how many people are here."
Chen Xiaowen gestured and said, "You can't see the end at a glance. The road below is full of officers and soldiers."
Xiao Jingyun secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, he had anticipated this step last night and made careful arrangements to take precautions on the mountain.
"Brother Xiaobei, don't worry. I made careful preparations on the mountain last night. They won't be able to attack for a while."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood that Centipede Ridge was easy to defend but difficult to attack. If he hadn't set the mountain on fire, he wouldn't have been able to capture Da Laohei.
But I'm afraid of doing the same thing twice. If I can set fire to it, can't the other party?
So he had to prepare early. Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei said loudly to the village guards around him, "Everyone, chop down the surrounding trees again to prevent the enemy from setting fire."
Xiao Jingyun nodded in approval of Chen Xiaobei's arrangement.
Soon another village guard came in to report.
"Chief Xiaobei, the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain are shouting to us, telling us to get down the mountain quickly, otherwise they will attack."
As soon as they heard that the army was about to attack, the crowd couldn't help but commotion.
At this time, Jamel Xiao waved his hand and stepped forward.
"Don't panic, everyone, I'm going to go take a look."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and Zhou Quan hurriedly followed.
"Your Highness, it is better for me to go."
Xiao Jingyun shook his head, "Let me go. I will tell them that Sun Yuliang has been arrested, so stop resisting."
"In case the other party jumps over the wall in a hurry, we..." Zhou Quan hesitated to speak.
Jamel Xiao smiled calmly, "If anything happens to me, you must protect the princess with all your strength."
The corners of Zhou Quan's eyes were a little moist, "Your Highness, you will be fine."
The two of them had already walked out of the village before speaking and came behind a huge rock. A guard pointed forward and introduced the situation to Xiao Jingyun.
"Your Highness, Zhu Yan is leading the team. At least 30,000 people have come."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, straightened his clothes, and made a gesture to Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan immediately put his hands in front of his mouth to make a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly at the foot of the mountain, "Brothers down the mountain, listen, I am Zhou Quan, and I am Zhou Quan, the bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince. Now His Highness the Crown Prince has something to say to you."
Zhu Yan was shocked when he heard these words.
What? The prince is in Centipede Ridge?
He touched his head in confusion. Didn't he always say that the prince was on Qingniu Mountain?
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Xiao Jamyun put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out from behind the boulder.
I saw him and the atmosphere at the scene became a little stagnant.
Xiao Jingyun glanced at Zhu Yan and others and said loudly, "If you follow Zhu Meng and commit the crime, will you get any good results?"
Seeing that Jamel Xiao was about to play mind-attacking tactics, Zhu Yan immediately interrupted him, "Jingyun Xiao, stop being so pretentious."
"I'm telling you, if you don't want the people to suffer disaster with you, just come out obediently."
Xiao Jingyun laughed, "I'm afraid you don't know something about Zhu Yan. I told you that Sun Yuliang has been arrested. It's really ridiculous that you are still here working for him."
"It's impossible for you to hide here in Centipede Ridge. How do you know the situation in the capital thousands of miles away?" Zhu Yan shouted loudly.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Jingyun, the real situation is that your emperor father is finished, and now Sun Guoshi has become the emperor."
Xiao Jingyun was too lazy to continue arguing with him. He turned to the soldiers present and said, "Listen, there are people from Hetou Village on this mountain. I, Xiao Jingyun, will protect them to the death. If any of you are not afraid of death, please come up."
Zhu Yan Canglang made a sound, pulled out his sword, waved it in his hand, "Charge me."
Following a burst of shouting, more than a dozen soldiers rushed towards Centipede Ridge with their spears raised.
Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yan called out to a soldier next to him and whispered, "Go and report to the commander-in-chief that the prince is at Centipede Ridge."
Swish, swish, there was a barrage of arrows on the mountain, several soldiers fell down, and the rest turned around and ran away.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yan was so angry that he yelled and waved at the people behind him.
Everyone shouted in unison, and countless soldiers rushed towards the mountain again.
But there was another barrage of arrows on the mountain, and the soldiers were defeated again.
Just when Zhu Yan was attacking Centipede Ridge, Jue Taoist came with Sun Qi in a panic.
Zhu Meng was still very surprised when he heard that they were here. Looking at the dilapidated appearance of the two of them, he couldn't help but ask.
"You two are not in the capital, why did you come to this remote country?"
Sun Qi sighed, "Oh, Marshal, things have changed. Something happened to the Imperial Master."
The top Taoist next to him said quickly, "Commander, the Imperial Master has been captured by Liu Rumei. We can't stay in the capital any longer."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng was so frightened that his eyes were stunned, and he fell down on the chair.
"How is this possible? Liu Rumei is clearly on Qingniu Mountain."
Before he could finish his sentence, the soldier who reported the news stumbled in.
"Commander, General Zhu asked me to report that His Royal Highness is at Centipede Ridge."
What?
Zhu Meng, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again.
"Isn't he also in Qingniu Mountain?"
Zhu Meng was completely dumbfounded by the sudden situation.
