Liu Rumei was a little panicked for a moment. She didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, the two princes Liu and Zhao next to her spoke almost at the same time.
"Don't be anxious, Your Highness, this matter needs to be discussed at length."
"That's right. Your Highness is not sure of the situation right now and hastily entered the city. If he makes the same mistake as the little girl and the others, we will be in trouble."
Xiao Jingyun then sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let me think about it again."
At this time, Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying in Qingniu County waited until three o'clock in the morning at Shen Ziyan's home before finally receiving the news from Zhao Yi.
The news came from Zhao Yi himself. After careful investigation, Liu Xiaobao left Qingniu County yesterday afternoon and was definitely heading to Jizhou.
Huang Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard that she was going to Jizhou. She suddenly remembered Chen Sanqiu's experience of stealing Qiao'er.
"Okay, someone must have recognized Sister Hongyu and kidnapped her and took her to Jizhou to find Zhu Meng to claim credit."
When Shen Ziyan heard this, she nodded slightly, "Whether we want to ask for confession or not, we have to pursue Jizhou."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the maid Xiaohua beside him, "You and Du Juan return to Hetou Village and tell Chen Xiaobei the situation."
When she said this, she was stunned and slapped her forehead, "Oh, Chen Xiaobei is still on Qingniu Mountain, what should I do?"
Huang Ying thought for a moment and came up with an idea. She turned to Du Juan and said, "Do you still remember our second kicker? It's in the west side room. After dark, you can ask the village guards to help, and they can put three or four of them in one night. If Chen Xiaobei could see it, he would definitely know that something happened at the foot of the mountain."
Dujuan nodded and Xiaohua got on the horse and rushed to Hetou Village.
Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying tidied up and chased in the direction of Jizhou.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had already walked back with the group of people coming.
Not only did he go back, he also brought Chen Dayong and others down. Now that the chain bridge has been repaired, the villagers no longer need to go up the mountain. The villagers have already snatched so many military supplies. Don't be too greedy.
The most important thing for him when he came up the mountain was to worry about the safety of Chen Dayong and others. Bringing people down safely now was better than anything else.
The rest will be left to the soldiers brought by Liu Ce, but Chen Xiaobei believes that Liu Ce and the others will not withdraw for a while, at least until the incident in Jizhou is over, so a large part of the supplies will still be consumed. Lose.
When it got dark, everyone had already reached the mountain temple. Liu Ce and the soldiers didn't want to leave. After all, they were tired after staying in the mountain for so many days and wanted to have a good rest at night.
Although Chen Xiaobei wanted to go back, but as the saying goes, you can't force others to do something difficult, so he chose to follow everyone's wishes and stay in the mountain temple to rest.
Just then, looking at the foot of the mountain, a string of fire lights suddenly lit up, one after another. It kept on, four times.
The soldiers led by Liu Ce didn't know what this was all about.
"What's this?"
"Why is it so bright?"
But Chen Dayong and others knew what it was. They just took a look and said to Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, is that what you made?"
Of course, Chen Xiaobei knew in his heart that these were the two kicks he made. He only had a dozen or so left at home. Now the mountain has released four of them at once. This can only mean that something happened at home. Still a big deal.
Thinking of this, he came to Liu Ce and clasped his fists, "Steward Liu, I'm sorry, you guys rest here, I have to go down the mountain overnight."
Of course Liu Ce understood that when Chen Xiaobei suddenly came down the mountain, he must have seen the second kick at the foot of the mountain.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Brother Xiaobei, since there is something going on at home, let's not rest any longer. Let's go back together."
We went back together, and Chen Xiaobei was also willing to have a few more companions on the way. Everyone stopped resting and started to hurry down the mountain.
Homecoming was as fast as an arrow. At the fourth watch in the middle of the night, Chen Xiaobei and the others came back from the mountain.
Xiaohua and Dujuan slept with Chen Qiaoer in the old house.
They said they were sleeping with each other, but in fact it was mainly Chen Qiaoer who slept with her, and the two of them took turns getting confused.
After a while, they took turns to look outside, listen to the noise, and see if anyone was coming down the mountain.
Finally, Xiaohua saw that the dogs in the yard started to make some noise, and then all the dogs in the village began to bark.
Xiaohua immediately rushed into the house and gently shook the cuckoo awake.
"Hurry, hurry, there is some movement, I'm afraid someone is coming down the mountain."
The two of them rushed out in a hurry and bravely rushed to the back of Chen Xiaobei's old house. They saw a series of continuous firelights on the mountain. It was great.
The two people hurriedly ran up to meet him, shouting as they ran, "Brother Xiaobei, Brother Xiaobei."
Chen Xiaobei was quite surprised when he heard the noise coming from the two of them. Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition and hurried forward to meet them.
"Xiao Hua, Du Juan, why are you two?"
After asking this question, Xiao Hua and Du Juan burst into tears.
Seeing this movement, Chen Xiaobei stamped his feet even more anxiously, "Oh, don't cry, tell me what's going on."
At this time, the village guards who heard the commotion also came over.
Chen Xiaowen, a member of the village protection team, rushed to the front and said, "Brother Xiaobei, something big happened. Something happened to sister Hongyu and she was lost in the county."
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he became anxious. He threw the torch in his hand, held Du Juan's shoulders with both hands, and shook it vigorously, "Quickly tell me, what's going on? Where is Huang Ying, and where is Qiao'er?"
Xiaohua suppressed her sadness, wiped her tears, and briefly explained the situation.
"Sister Huang Ying and Sister Zi Yan are already chasing after Jizhou. Let us come back and light the two kickers to report to you."
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he became furious.
Cui Hongyu is his rival. He had no strength before, but now he is no longer Chen Xiaobei's. If he dares to touch Cui Hongyu, he will never let him go.
Chen Xiaobei turned to Liu Ce and said, "Steward Liu has an urgent matter. I have to go to Jizhou. I would like to ask you to take care of Hetou Village."
After saying this, Chen Xiaobei rushed into the yard. At this time, Chen Qiaoer was also woken up. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes and looking around for someone. When she saw Chen Xiaobei coming back, she burst into tears.
Chen Xiaobei turned to Du Juan and Xiao Huang and said, "You two stay here and you must take good care of Qiao'er."
After speaking, he took out the horses and prepared to set off. At this moment, Liu Ce walked in with a dozen people.
"Brother Xiaobei, it is a long way to Jizhou. We are not worried if you go alone. I will send a few people to go with you."
Chen Xiaobei's heart warmed up after hearing this, "Butler Liu will not thank you for your kindness, so let's just say goodbye."
What moved Chen Xiaobei even more was that when he walked under the big locust tree, Liu Tie took Yang Zhi, Yang Chun and more than a dozen people, fully armed and waiting there.
"Brother Xiaobei, the lady told me before she left that I must ensure your safe entry. If you want to go to Jizhou, I have to go too."
