Chapter 339 The Lotus Sect mainly makes big troubles
Chen Xiaobei secretly lamented that pretending to live in a peaceful era could be considered a kind of happiness.
After a simple lunch, Chen Xiaobei left Sihai. The restaurant was walking on the streets of Xiaojia Town, and there were still people coming and going. Many people seemed to be in a hurry, but overall, the order of life was quite stable.
As we were walking, we suddenly came face to face. Someone shouted with surprise, "Brother Xiaobei, it's you."
Chen Xiaobei looked up and saw that it was Yang Chun.
"Brother Yang, why are you here? Where have you been these days?"
Chen Xiaobei didn't know that Yang Chun had followed Liu Tie to capture Xiong Fei and Hou Liu, so when he saw him, he suddenly realized that he hadn't seen him for many days.
Yang Chun sighed slightly, "Butler Liu arranged for me to go out. When I came back, I suddenly found that you were nowhere to be found in the county town and Hetou Village."
"Brother Liu Tie and I have discussed that if there is no news from you in another two days, we will go back to the capital directly."
"Liu Tie?" Chen Xiaobei smiled bitterly again. Yes, I haven't seen Liu Tie for a while.
Yang Chun stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xiaobei's arm, "Good brother, I will take you to see Brother Liu Tie."
Chen Xiaobei walked forward, sighing secretly that he was in a hurry and busy every day.
I saw who I didn’t see, maybe a lot, and then I forgot about it.
Chen Xiaobei can forget, but Jamel Xiao cannot forget.
During lunch that day, Xiao Jingyun couldn't help but frown.
He whispered to Zhou Quan next to him, "Why do I feel like there are a lot of people missing from the princess' side?"
Zhou Quan glanced over pretending to be unintentional, "Yes, the Lotus Cult Leader is missing."
"There should be a few more faces. Yes, Chu Han is not here either."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "I will find a way to inquire later and see where they have gone. I have repeatedly ordered not to go down the mountain casually. It seems that my words have fallen on deaf ears."
Zhou Quan agreed and walked out directly with his rice bowl.
It wasn't until Xiao Jingyun got up from his nap and the sun turned to the west that Zhou Quan came in and whispered, "Your Highness has found out clearly that Master Lotus has indeed brought people down the mountain, but what he is doing down the mountain is so secretive that Princess Zhaoning is so secretive that no one can tell."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Jamyun frowned and said, "Don't tell anyone, there is a ghost here."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, "No, I have to ask later, but don't make any mistakes."
Chen Xiaobei came back at dinner time. Also returning with him were Liu Tie Yangchun and the captured Hou Liu.
When Yang Chun came back, Yang Zhi was overjoyed, cried with joy, and stepped forward to give him a big hug.
Liu Tie seemed much calmer and briefly reported the situation to Prince Xiao Jingyun, Liu Rumei and others.
"Oh, it's still too late. When we arrived at Xiong Fei's house, the neighbor said that he had just left for two days. If we could save two days after arresting Hou Liu, maybe both of them could be captured."
Liu Rumei nodded and comforted, "Okay, don't blame yourself, catch one first and then talk about it."
"I will immediately arrange for someone to report to my father."
While Liu Rumei and others were surrounding Liu Tie asking questions, Xiao Jingyun pulled Princess Zhaoning aside and said, "Jingfeng, tell me the truth, where is your master, Master Lianhua?"
Princess Zhaoning seemed a little flustered by his sudden words.
"Brother Huang, my master is actually not used to the life in this mountain, so she went down to stay in an inn."
Until this moment, Princess Zhaoning was still lying.
At that time, his lie almost led to a big mistake.
Jamel Xiao's expression softened a lot and he sighed slightly.
"Yes, this mountain is indeed quite difficult. Just leave. By the way, don't neglect her."
Seeing that she had passed the test in a muddle, Princess Zhaoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, I will send people over often to check."
That night, Chen Xiaobei specially called Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan over to their room to have dinner together.
After a few words, the topic naturally returned to burning charcoal.
Huang Ying looked at it and Shen Ziyan said with a smile, "Sister Ziyan, when you were practicing on the mountain, burning charcoal was your specialty. You have to show off your skills tomorrow."
Shen Ziyan acted very calmly, "Sister Hongyu, brother Xiaobei, we have indeed burned charcoal before, but can this thing really be exchanged for silver?"
Chen Xiaobei certainly had doubts about Shen Ziyan's doubts, but in the end he still chose to believe Feng Xiaoyue.
Moreover, he remembered reading in history books that ancient people did burn charcoal for heating.
Just like what is said in the famous poem "The Charcoal Seller", "In the southern mountains where I cut firewood and burn charcoal, my temples are gray and my fingers are black. I am worried that the charcoal is cheap and I wish it would be cold."
"Miss Ziyan, don't worry about this. Since Miss Xiaoyue said it, it won't be a problem to exchange for silver. It's just that the price is still uncertain."
Cui Hongyu also smiled and said, "Yes, this girl Xiaoyue is quite practical in her work. Let's burn some first and give them to her to see, and then ask the price."
Shen Ziyan finally nodded, "Well, in that case, I will teach everyone how to burn charcoal with Huang Ying tomorrow."
Qingniu County Town.
Since Zhu Yan entered the city, he played songs every night and got drunk every day. Thinking about it, he had nothing to do. What else could he do without drinking?
After finishing the wine, I ordered someone to go to Baihua Building to invite two girls to listen to some songs and play Tai Chi. The happy day passed.
Tonight was no exception. Zhu Yan got himself drunk again, stared at the scarlet drunken eyes, and shouted to the guard at the door, "Why hasn't the girl from Baihua Building arrived yet?"
"General, I have already gone to invite you. You will be here soon."
As he spoke, he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells outside, "General Zhu can't wait any longer, the slave family is here."
While he was talking, the Lotus Master walked in with small steps.
Although the Lotus Master is over thirty years old, he still looks like a little girl when dressed up.
Besides, Zhu Yan was so drunk that he couldn't see this clearly. "It's a good time. It's a good time. Hurry up and help this general to rest in the backyard."
The Lotus Leader came forward and raised his hand to catch Zhu Yan's arm.
Zhu Yan's big, foul-smelling mouth was about to rub into the face of Master Lianhua.
The Lotus Master cleverly avoided it and said with a smile, "General, don't worry, let's talk in the backyard."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Zhu Yan's bodyguards behind him, "Don't disturb the general's pleasure."
When Zhu Yan heard this, he immediately turned around and shouted at his guards, "No one is allowed to disturb me before dawn, do you hear me?"
Of course, these guards happily agreed.
They didn't need to be disturbed until dawn, so they could enjoy their leisure time. They could drink and sleep when it was time to drink at night.
The leader of Lotus Hua led Zhu Yan into the backyard. The backyard of the county government office was actually not very large, with only about three main rooms and two side rooms.
