The Lotus Leader smiled calmly, "I told you before that they can't find me, so don't worry now."
Madam Guilan nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, don't worry, you can rest early."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Watching her go out, Master Lotus secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally be at peace for a few days.
It's getting dark, and action has begun on Centipede Ridge.
Liu Kai pretended to be A Xiang, and Liu Rumei even gave him a light make-up to make the two of them look more alike.
The little girl and ten people quietly followed Liu Kai.
Liu Kai entered Hetou Village, and after walking a few steps, a whistle rushed out of the darkness next to him.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Liu Kai looked very calm and clasped his fists at the soldiers, "Excuse me, everyone. I want to go up the mountain to find my master."
These words made these soldiers stunned.
They looked at each other and said, "Who is your master?"
"Oh, it's the doctor from Cuijiazhuang, his name is Cui Fugui. He was taken to the mountain by you yesterday. He left me a letter asking me to go to the mountain to find him."
Several soldiers looked at me and I looked at you with expressions of disbelief, and this operation.
Don’t you know that people caught on the mountain are being held hostage? There are also people who surrender themselves into the trap.
But they didn't know about this, so they had to confirm with their superiors to see if this was the case.
"Oh, you are from Cuijiazhuang. I have to ask you this to see if you can go up."
After saying this, the leaders of the soldiers pointed to the big locust tree in the middle of the village.
"You go there first and wait."
Liu Kai came under the big locust tree, looked around, and saw five or six soldiers crowded in the duty room where the village guards used to be.
These five or six soldiers obviously noticed Liu Kai looking at them. One of them asked, "Hey, what are you looking at?"
Liu Kai smiled calmly and raised his fists at these people, "Master Jun, are you cold in there? If you don't come out, we can light a fire to cook."
In early autumn, it is naturally a bit cool in the mountain village, so being able to warm yourself by the fire is of course a dream.
The man was talking and laughing, came out of the room, and really made a bonfire.
Liu Kai did this for a reason.
If everyone is in the dark, the little girl's whereabouts will be easily seen by these soldiers.
And if these soldiers were kept in the light and the little girl and the others were kept in the dark, the chance of being discovered would be much smaller.
The only thing that aggrieved the little girls and the others was that they might get cold tonight.
As expected, it was only when the sky was dimming that news came down from the mountain, saying that indeed Cui Fugui had a servant named Axiang, and that he wanted to be verified by the mountain before he was released.
At this time, the so-called verification of identity is nothing more than a few cross-examinations.
After a night of conversation, these soldiers already had an inexplicable sense of trust in Liu Kai. When the news came down from the mountain, one of them seemed a little reluctant to leave.
"Oh, Uncle Axiang, you really know a lot about astronomy and geography. I'm really reluctant to let you go like this."
While the man was talking, he pretended to wipe away a few tears.
Liu Kai smiled slightly and hugged him with a fist, "The military master is joking. How can Axiang be so virtuous? He deserves what you say."
After saying that, he clasped his fists at the other soldiers and said, "That's it, I will take the first step."
After saying this, Liu Kai turned around and ran towards Qingniu Mountain.
When leaving Hetou Village, there are two checkpoints behind Chen Xiaobei's yard and before entering Qingniu Mountain. Each checkpoint must be checked three times.
Fortunately, Liu Kai prepared very carefully. In addition to bringing the letter written by Cui Fugui to A Xiang, he also brought some dry food, water and two changes of clothes.
This dry food is enough for him for two days, which is a sufficient surplus.
Normally, you can reach the mountain temple after noon, and walk a dozen miles further to reach the steep slope. It will be no problem before dark.
When he arrived at the mountain temple in the morning, Liu Kai took the opportunity to rest and eat, and walked around twice to make sure there was no secret whistle from the enemy, so he put his little finger in his mouth and whistled.
After a short effort, there was a rustle in the woods in the distance, and then several figures came flying towards them, it was the little girl and the others.
The little girl landed on the ground and hugged Liu Kai with a fist, "Old housekeeper, what are your orders?"
Liu Kai nodded and pointed towards the mountain, "According to the news I got last night, there will be Zhu Meng's garrison twenty miles up the mountain. You guys go first and I'll try to get there before dark."
."
The little girl agreed, waved, and quickly led everyone into hiding in the woods.
Fortunately, the leaves have not started to fall now, otherwise the little girl and the others would not be able to hide their whereabouts.
Liu Kai was at the ruined temple. After eating and drinking, he leaned against a tree and rested for a while. He estimated that the time was almost up, and then he slowly got up and hurried up the mountain.
At this time, the atmosphere in Qingniu County at the foot of the mountain became very tense.
There is no other reason than that King Qin’s troops from the east and north routes have already arrived.
The two groups of troops totaled more than 100,000 people and were stationed on the front line of Xiaojia Town.
Taoist Master Jue ordered the city gates to be closed tightly. No matter who came to call for formation, they would not come out. They must guard and wait.
His wishful thinking was very clear, which was to wait until the Great Tu Kingdom and the Dalin Kingdom sent out troops, and when Xiao An's army was demoralized, then it would be a good time for him to counterattack.
This decision surprised the leader of the Lotus Church. Originally, she thought that no one could be found in two days, so the city gate was opened, so she could take the opportunity to sneak out.
Unexpectedly, not only were the city gates closed, but the number of sentries increased significantly, and the number of soldiers patrolling the streets in the city also increased significantly.
Lord Lotus immediately realized that the situation outside the city must have changed.
It is very possible that reinforcements have arrived.
Soon a bold idea emerged in her mind, and she decided to give it a try.
At sunset, Princess Zhaoning received a secret message from the Master of Lotus.
After reading it, Princess Zhaoning was extremely excited and immediately came to see Prince Xiao Jingyun with a letter.
"Brother Imperial, my master sent a message from Qingniu County. The atmosphere in the city is tense now and everyone is in danger. It is a good time for us to attack the county."
Xiao Jingyun frowned, "Jingfeng, didn't I tell you? It's not that I don't want to fight, but I don't want people to die, and there are so many people in the city."
Princess Zhaoning chuckled, "My master said he wants to open the door at night and let's rush in."
Jamel Xiao was shocked when he heard this idea.
"No, no, Qingniu County only has a small area. If we don't have enough people, we can't rush in, and if there are more people, we can't do anything. A melee between the two sides will inevitably affect the people."
"But brother, I think this idea is feasible." Princess Zhaoning was still unwilling to give in.
Jamel Xiao sighed, "Tell Master Lotus immediately that you must not act without permission and wait for my instructions."
