Chapter 337 The Selfishness of the Lotus Sect Master
Seeing his sister's disdainful look, Xiao Jingyun simply repeated what Chen Xiaobei just said.
After listening to his story, Princess Zhaoning was also surprised.
"Chen Xiaobei is just a villager, how can he have such insight?"
Jamel Xiao smiled slightly, "Maybe this is a real expert."
"It's getting late, brother, please take a rest early." After saying this, Princess Zhaoning bowed and left.
At this time, Xiao Jingyun had already cherished talents and even planned to take Chen Xiaobei back to the capital when this matter was over.
Princess Zhaoning returned to her room, but she seemed a little uneasy.
At this time, the maid Butterfly came over and said, "Your Highness, there are some of our people among the garrison brought by Hu Fan today."
Princess Zhaoning raised her eyebrows and asked, "How are you sure?"
"I saw the mark someone left and looked around, and sure enough I saw this."
Saying this, Butterfly took out a branch that looked ordinary.
This kind of branch that is only as long as a thumb is left on the roadside. I believe no one will give it a second glance.
In other words, only after seeing the sign will you notice the specialness of this branch.
Carefully tearing apart the branches, there was only one sentence inside, "It will be the third watch tonight."
After reading it, Princess Zhaoning thought for a moment, "It should be Tian Wen's person."
"Go there tonight and see what they want to do."
Butterfly bowed and went out, when the Lotus Master walked in again with a smile on his face.
Princess Zhaoning quickly stood up and saluted, "I have met Master."
The Lotus Leader nodded and motioned for Princess Zhaoning to sit down.
"I see Chen Xiaobei is here tonight. What were you talking about?"
Princess Zhaoning did not hide anything, and told Chen Xiaobei exactly what she said.
Finally, he said in conclusion, "I think the emperor is right. When the weather gets cold and the ground freezes, the food and grass are burned, and there is a lack of food and clothing on the mountain, then everyone will naturally come down and surrender."
After hearing her words, Master Lotus frowned.
"Your Highness Princess, you are right. You will have to surrender when the time comes, but have you ever thought about who gets the credit?"
Unexpectedly, this question also stumped Princess Zhaoning. After thinking for a while, she tentatively said, "Chen Xiaobei came up with the idea. He should be credited with the first credit."
"Anyone who goes up the mountain will also have a great contribution."
The Lotus Leader nodded, then looked directly at Princess Zhaoning, "Then have you ever thought about what so many things have to do with you?"
"This..." Princess Zhaoning was stunned for a moment, "This really has nothing to do with me."
The Lotus Leader nodded, stood up slowly, and said solemnly, "Then after returning to the capital, if the emperor asks what the princess did in Qingniu County, how will you respond?"
This sentence left Princess Zhaoning stunned and speechless. After a long time, her face gradually became serious.
"My mentor gave me timely advice. If I fail to achieve even an inch of success, I will definitely be scolded by my father when I return."
Having said this, he suddenly lifted up his clothes, knelt down on one knee and bowed down to the Master of Lotus, "Master, please give me some advice."
The leader of the Lotus Sect smiled slightly and stepped forward to help Princess Zhaoning, "This matter is quite simple. I will take people to Qingniu County tomorrow and arrest that bullshit Zhu Yan first. We will take the Qingniu County seat first."
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhaoning was stunned. She waved her hands and said, "Master, this is absolutely necessary. It will disrupt the plans of the emperor and Chen Xiaobei."
The leader of Lotus Hua's face darkened, "Everything depends on his face, so why are you asking me again?"
This sentence once again silenced Princess Zhaoning. Finally, she spoke slowly.
"Jingfeng follows Master's arrangements."
Only then did the Lotus Cult Master show a smile, "Don't worry, all the credit belongs to you, and Xiao Jingyun has nothing."
Princess Zhaoning did not dare to say anything more and said with sincerity and fear, "Master, please be patient. I still have an informant in the city. I will contact him immediately."
Leader Lianhua nodded, "In two days, two groups of King Qin's troops will arrive. I hope that by then, you can receive them openly and openly in Qingniu County, instead of huddled in this shabby village."
While he was talking, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and the butterfly came back.
Seeing the leader of Lotus Flower, Butterfly saluted respectfully, "I've met the leader."
Princess Zhaoning didn't shy away from it, "Butterfly, have you ever seen anyone?"
Butterfly nodded and took out a letter from his arms, "It was sent by Guard Tian. Guard Tian said he was staying in Qingniu County, waiting to cooperate with our actions."
Princess Zhaoning took the letter, read it, and then looked at her mentor, Master Lotus.
That means asking the Lotus Master not to read this letter.
The Lotus Cult Master waved his hand, "Since we have a place to stay in the city, this matter will be easier."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Seeing her leaving, Princess Zhaoning sat down helplessly and stayed there for a long time, unwilling to move.
Early the next morning, the little girl rushed into Princess Zhaoning's room.
"Your Highness, the Lotus Cult Leader is missing, and Chu Han and others, about a dozen are gone."
Princess Zhaoning nodded, "Okay, I asked them to go out. Please don't make this matter public."
The little girl nodded and backed out sensibly.
Butterfly, the palace maid next to her, said cautiously, "Your Highness Princess, why don't we tell the Crown Prince? Your Royal Highness has given repeated orders not to allow anyone to go down the mountain."
Princess Zhaoning waved her hand and sighed, "Okay, I have my own opinion on this matter."
At this time, Chen Xiaobei was not happy in the room. Chen Dachun had planted more than 20 acres of green vegetables in his field. Many days had passed. If he didn't water it, it would probably be useless. But if he went
While watering, I was worried about being discovered by Zhu Meng’s soldiers.
Cui Hongyu saw that he was frowning. After asking the reason, he came forward and took his arm and said softly, "Husband, it's better not to go. Even if the vegetables don't work, the worst we can do is pay some rent."
"But if there are three advantages and two disadvantages, we will lose a big thing for a small thing."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei sighed, "Oh, it's so easy to want to have a big fight. Who would ever want to encounter such a thing? Who do you think we provoked?"
Cui Hongyu knew that Chen Xiaobei was anxious, and comforted her softly again, "Husband, don't be anxious. It's not bad that we can eat and drink here. Most of the villagers are at home in winter anyway."
"Yes, I am idle at home in the winter, but I can't just idle here. I have to find something for them to do."
Cui Hongyu also looked helpless, "But what can I do here? Apart from going up the mountain to chop firewood, there is nothing else I can do."
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, "I will go down the mountain to Xiaojia Town to find Feng Xiaoyue later and see what we can do on the mountain."
After saying that, he sighed as if talking to himself, "You can't be idle all the time, otherwise you will be useless."
