Shen Hao took a step forward, "Can you tie me up and take me to the prince to claim credit, and then let my two brothers go?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled, I dare say Shen Hao thought he was going to capture them to take credit.
Thinking of this, he straightened his expression and raised his fist towards Shen Hao, "Brother Shen, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
"You are soldiers of Dacang Kingdom. Why should I kidnap you to claim credit?"
Shen Hao was stunned by this sentence, "Then what do you mean by coming all the way to catch up with me?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "I just came to verify my judgment."
In fact, Chen Xiaobei only said half of it, and he didn't say the other half.
Mainly from their mouths, we can ask how many people Zhu Meng still has on the mountain. Is it dangerous if he continues to move forward?
After all, even though Qi Chong brought thousands of people up here, if these people were scattered on the Qingniu Mountain with a radius of hundreds or thousands of miles, and if they were scattered into the military camp of a 300,000-strong army, they would be just a drop in the bucket.
"If you want to go down the mountain, I can tell you the way down the mountain."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hao's eyes clearly flashed with joy, but it only flashed by. Then he smiled and shook his head and said, "We know we will take the road down the mountain."
This is because you don’t believe in yourself.
"If you go straight down here, there will be two forks in the road. Take the first fork in the road and take the second fork on the right. You can go down the mountain after about ten or twenty miles in the middle."
After speaking, Chen Xiaobei called to Chen Dayong and others, "Let's go back."
"Brother Shen was so sorry that he hurt you, but I don't know how to heal you."
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was about to leave, Shen Hao was a little anxious.
"Brother Xiaobei, please wait a moment."
Chen Xiaobei stopped and turned to look at Shen Hao, "Brother Shen, do you have anything else to give me?"
"Can you help us lead the way? I'm afraid it's too dark and we might go the wrong way."
The word "we" means there must be someone else. Chen Xiaobei nodded.
"Okay, I'll take you down." Chen Dayong and Chen Dachun next to them wanted to say something, but were stopped by Chen Xiaobei.
"Brother Dayong, come with me. Brother Dachun, take them back."
Chen Xiaobei and Chen Dayong accompanied Shen Hao and the three of them back, and after walking for more than two miles, Shen Hao suddenly stopped, looked around, and suddenly put his little finger in his mouth and whistled.
Looking at the scenery around him, Chen Xiaobei also felt that it seemed familiar, and he suddenly patted his head.
Walking three or four miles to the right from here, isn't it the end of the canyon? Two days ago, I climbed up there and burned Zhu Meng's military camp.
So Shen Hao and the others also came from the canyon.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei said calmly, "It's difficult to walk in the canyon. The leaves are very deep."
Shen Hao subconsciously agreed, "Yes, it's too difficult to leave."
After saying this, he suddenly looked at Chen Xiaobei in surprise, "You also know?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "We live at the foot of the mountain and often go hunting on the mountain, so we are naturally very familiar with it."
This excuse was perfect. Shen Hao nodded, showing a hint of relief.
"It's a good thing I met you, otherwise we wouldn't know when we would have turned around. I didn't take this arrow in vain."
Soon there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and there was a bright light shining in the distance. It was the light reflected by the moonlight on the armor.
Shen Hao gestured to Chen Xiaobei, telling him to wait a moment, and limped forward.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Xiaobei whispered to Chen Dayong, "Don't talk too much. Take the person through two forks and we will come back."
While they were discussing here, there was a sound of footsteps, and Ren Hao came back accompanied by a middle-aged man.
This man was wearing armor, had a Chinese character on his face, and was holding a torch in his hand. He looked somewhat majestic.
When he came to Chen Xiaobei, he nodded slightly, "Are you a villager at the foot of the mountain?"
Chen Xiaobei also nodded, "Yes, when I saw you evacuated, I wanted to go into the mountains to hunt, but I didn't expect..."
The general nodded, "Just now you said that Marshal Zhu's troops and horses have all gone to Jizhou Prefecture. How did you know..."
"The news has spread all over the mountain, and it is also said that the prince's soldiers and horses have surrounded Qingnian County."
After hearing this, the man sighed, "If I had known this was the case, I should have brought more dry food. But now, I can't even make it to Jizhou."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei could probably understand that they should be soldiers stationed under the main peak of Qingniu Mountain.
These should all be Zhu Meng's close associates and direct descendants.
The reason why they left must be that they encountered some danger, and they must have encountered Qi Chong.
Qi Chong's troops were superior and they couldn't defeat them, so they left.
Having said that, Qi Chong was able to come up the mountain, which also showed that the situation at the bottom of the mountain had changed, so what he just said would make the other party somewhat believe it.
The general thought for a while, then gave Chen Xiaobei a fist in the air and said, "Brother, please lead the way. I will thank you very much after we get down the mountain."
Chen Xiaobei and Chen Dayong led more than a hundred soldiers through two forks in the road. Not far ahead was a steep slope. There were no forks in the road, so it was impossible to go wrong.
At this point, Chen Xiaobei stepped to the side of the road and gave Shen Hao a fist, "Brother Shen, just keep going forward."
Shen Hao nodded and expressed his thanks with a smile on his face, "Thank you both."
After speaking, Shen Hao called to the soldiers behind him to move forward quickly.
It can be seen that Shen Hao should also be a small boss.
Seeing that the large group of people had finished leaving, Chen Xiaobei and Chen Dayong turned to leave, but heard someone behind them shouting, "Wait a minute."
Chen Xiaobei turned around and looked over. He was the leader of this group. Shen Hao also looked at him in surprise.
"Brother, what else do you want?"
The man cupped his fist at Chen Xiaobei and said, "I, Shen Qiang, am a man who repays kindness. Since my brother showed me a way to live, I will give him a way to make a fortune."
"Go forward from where you and I met just now. There is a grand canyon about three miles away. You keep walking along it. After about two days of walking, there will be a rope on the left. You can climb up along the rope. There is our camp.
There are all kinds of military supplies inside.”
After hearing these words, Chen Xiaobei was a little surprised.
He could deduce these situations by himself, but he just didn't expect that Shen Qiang would tell them all.
Chen Xiaobei pretended not to know and hugged Shen Qiang, "Thank you, Brother Shen, but it's really difficult to walk for two days. I remember there is a chain bridge that can be crossed. I don't know if it is the place you mentioned."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Now let alone the chain bridge, the rope bridge is gone. If you want to get those military supplies, you have to do as I say."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and left with Shen Hao.
Seeing the Shen brothers leaving, Chen Xiaobei was speechless.
