In the end, Xiao Jingyun sighed, "If the difficulty is too great, we will still besiege Qingniu County as planned."
Liu Rumei looked at Chen Xiaobei expectantly.
In fact, Chen Xiaobei felt helpless at this time as he entered and exited Qingniu Mountain through several roads.
After the iron rope bridge was demolished, Zhu Meng's army rebuilt the rope bridge.
It is too difficult to cross this bridge.
Therefore, if they wanted to sneak in and burn the food and grass, they had to find another way, which was the route they took when they retreated from the mountain.
Climb up from the Grand Canyon.
This is the only way. Of course, just because it is too difficult, Zhu Meng may take it lightly.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei nodded firmly, "Then there is only one way, which is to climb back to the canyon through the underground river passage along the route we originally retreated from."
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Princess Zhaoning couldn't wait to stand up and said, "Brother Huang, I've walked that road before. Let me go."
Jamel Xiao shook his head, then turned to look at Liu Rumei.
Of course Liu Rumei understood what the prince meant. How could a princess of Dacang take such a big risk?
Thinking of this, she clasped her fists and said, "Your Highness, let me go."
Jamel Xiao nodded, looked at Chen Xiaobei again, his expression became very respectful.
"Brother Xiaobei, this matter depends on you."
After listening to Xiao Jingyun's words, Liu Rumei's expression showed a trace of surprise. She opened her mouth, but finally held back.
Perhaps in her opinion, she had already taken the initiative to ask for help, so why should she let Chen Xiaobei go?
But these are no longer within her control.
The list of people to follow Chen Xiaobei up the mountain was quickly determined. Liu Rumei took Liu Ce, Liu Tie, Princess Zhaoning's men, Xiao Yatou and Chu Han and others.
Taking advantage of the light, Chen Xiaobei led everyone towards Hetou Village.
At this time, Wang Long from Hetou Village was gathering his troops to support Qingniu County.
The gathering of the team seemed chaotic, so Chen Xiaobei and the others were able to sneak into Qingniu Mountain smoothly.
Stepping into Qingniu Mountain again, Chen Xiaobei felt a little emotional.
I recall that when I first came to Hetou Village, I went into the mountains just to catch two pheasants and find a few wild eggs to fill my stomach.
But unknowingly, he was involved in such a huge war.
But is this really the life he wants? Not him. He just hopes to end this war as soon as possible and restore peace to Hetou Village.
Daybreak was coming soon after they had walked not far. After daybreak, they had to stop and could not move forward.
So finding a hiding place quickly is a top priority.
Fortunately, there are woods in the mountains, so just find a dense place to hide.
It was autumn now, and a gust of wind blew through the fallen leaves, so they had to hide deeper to prevent anyone from outside from discovering them, and they couldn't move around casually during the day.
They found a few boulders as cover, where they could enjoy themselves while hiding in the sun.
Liu Rumei sat down next to Chen Xiaobei and touched his arm gently, "Brother Xiaobei, after this battle, what are your plans?"
Chen Xiaobei looked at Liu Rumei, then raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, "My plan is to lead the whole village to live a peaceful life."
Liu Rumei frowned and thought thoughtfully, "In fact, His Royal Highness has always admired you. He has said many times that he wants to invite you to serve as an official in the court."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not suitable for being an official."
Liu Rumei looked at him in surprise, "How will you know if you don't try."
Chen Xiaobei looked at the people around him and saw that everyone was listening to their conversation with open ears.
Of course, these words cannot be said directly in front of so many people. Thinking of this, he immediately changed the topic, "Okay, everyone, let's have a rest. We have to rush in the evening."
After a hard night's work, everyone was still a little tired, and soon someone started snoring around them.
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei also fell asleep, Liu Rumei was helpless. She stood up slowly and walked into the woods nearby.
After walking a few feet, he turned back to look at the sleeping people.
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps, and the maid Xiaoqing chased after her.
"Miss, won't you get some sleep?"
Liu Rumei shook her head, "I'm not sleepy."
"Miss, have you fallen in love with Chen Xiaobei?" Xiao Qing asked boldly.
Liu Rumei turned to look at him, "Why do you think so?"
"Miss, I can see that there is light in your eyes when you look at him, which is different from when you look at others."
Liu Rumei looked at Xiao Qing in surprise, and took a long breath, "Oh, I can't tell whether I like him or not, but I just feel that with him here, I feel more at ease."
Xiaoqing's face was full of helplessness, "Miss, it's just because he is familiar with the terrain. You can go into the mountains without knowing the bottom. When you get to the capital, he will definitely not give you this feeling. He is a bumpkin, he..."
Liu Rumei looked stunned and said seriously, "I told you, don't call him this way."
"Young lady, you are obviously the daughter of the Protector of the Kingdom. If we really talk about it, you can at least be considered a princess. Why..."
"Princess?" Liu Rumei suddenly smiled.
A picture suddenly flashed through her mind. Just last night, when Princess Zhaoning took the initiative to ask for a fight, Xiao Jingyun stopped Xiao Jingfeng's request for a fight and looked at herself instead.
"You are right, even if I am the princess, I cannot become a princess. The princess is in the camp, and we have to go up the mountain."
After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Xiao Qing was a little confused.
"Miss, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that the prince is partial?"
Liu Rumei shook her head, "I don't mean anything like that. We just work for the court. This is our fate and our destination."
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Chen Xiaobei, who was sleeping in the distance.
"Perhaps Brother Xiaobei is right. Leading the people to live happily in Hetou Village is the best choice."
…
At this time, in Qingniu County, Wang Long led an army of 20,000 men and stationed in again in a mighty manner.
There were already 30,000 troops stationed in Qingniu, and the county town became overcrowded.
Even the grain, fodder and ordnance of the army were piled on both sides of the road.
Zhu Jianyu tidied up the county government office and respectfully invited Wang Long to move in.
And a sumptuous luncheon was prepared for Wang Lung to receive the wind.
After three glasses of wine, King Long became complacent.
"When I came, General Zhu, the commander-in-chief specifically told me to bring you good news."
Zhu Jianyu knew that there must be a major change if he was suddenly asked to stay where he was.
He poured Wang Lung a glass of wine, raised his glass with a smile and said, "General, I would like to hear the details."
Wang Long laughed, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"To be honest, Da Tu Kingdom and Dalin Kingdom have both sent troops."
"Conquer ten cities in one day, and the Wannian City is just around the corner."
