In this way, Chen Xiaobei and Liu Tie led more than 20 people out of Hetou Village and rushed to Jizhou overnight.
There are those who are faster than Chen Xiaobei, namely Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying.
Early the next morning, the two of them had arrived at a place only more than a hundred miles away from Jizhou.
They had been running since noon yesterday and have been running until now. The horse really couldn't run anymore, so the two had to stop and rest for a while.
There is a crossroads ahead, and there are several food vendors on the roadside, some selling noodles and some selling steamed buns.
There are also several thatched huts with the smell of rice coming out of them, and they look like small restaurants.
Huang Ying took a step towards the thatched shed, but was held back by Shen Ziyan, "Okay, let's have a quick bite and leave quickly."
The two simply ordered a bowl of noodles. Before they started eating, a few people came from the north. They sat down next to each other and started talking.
"I don't know how long the siege in Jizhou will last. I want to go home to see my mother for half a month, but I can't get in."
"Who says it's not the case? My family is still waiting for me to get some money to buy rice for cooking."
"Okay, okay, you two, stop complaining and eat quickly. After eating, we will say goodbye to relatives who should be friends, and friends who should be friends."
"Yes, I can only go and join my second uncle. I don't know when the siege will be over."
After hearing these words, Zi Yan and Huang Ying looked at each other.
Shen Ziyan pointed at the noodles and signaled Huang Ying to eat quickly.
These words made Zi Yan feel more at ease. The prince's troops were surrounding the city and could not enter, so at least Cui Hongyu would not fall into Zhu Meng's hands.
In fact, Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying did not realize a problem at this time. They ran forward overnight, but Chen Sanqiu, Liu Xiaobao and others were driving a carriage, and they walked slowly, and they naturally had to stay at night. shop, so I was left behind by them early.
After finishing the noodles in a hurry, the two of them continued to walk forward. After walking for about forty or fifty miles, military camps appeared one after another on the edge.
The two of them inquired as they walked, and soon found Liu Rumei's tent. Liu Rumei was very surprised to see them coming.
"You two sisters, why did you come here?"
Before she finished her sentence, Huang Ying's eyes were filled with tears.
Shen Ziyan is of course much stronger, so I will briefly explain the situation.
As soon as she heard that Cui Hongyu had been kidnapped, Liu Rumei became furious.
"How brave you are to kidnap Sister Hongyu. The two sisters will rest here for the time being. I will arrange for someone to go search for you."
Liu Rumei also brought many people with her when she came, including Liu Ziming, Liu Ziliang and others.
To be on the safe side, Liu Rumei decided to ask the prince for more manpower.
After meeting the prince, Liu Rumei got straight to the point, "Your Highness, something big happened again in Qingniu County. Chen Xiaobei's wife Cui Hongyu was kidnapped. According to the clues, the kidnapper will most likely take Cui Hongyu to Jizhou to find Zhu Meng to receive the reward."
After hearing this, Xiao Jamyun frowned, "Such a thing actually exists."
After saying this, he turned to look at Zhou Quan, "Immediately arrange for manpower to set up traffic jams at various intersections within a hundred miles of the route. We must find Cui Hongyu."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please listen to me."
"Your Highness, we have set up many checkpoints. The thief cannot move forward and will inevitably turn elsewhere, which is not conducive to our search."
Xiao Jingyun looked at Liu Rumei, "In your opinion, what should I do?"
"Your Highness, I think within a hundred miles, more secret sentries will be sent out. If any suspicious persons are found, they will immediately conduct a secret investigation. If Cui Hongyu is found, he can be rescued immediately."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "That's fine, everything is as you said, everything is complete. You can go down and make arrangements, and send out more secret sentries who know Cui Hongyu."
Xiao Jingyun followed Liu Rumei's intention.
But Liu Rumei could see that Xiao Jingyun still had a sad face, and thinking about it, Ge Cun's head was not settled yet.
"Your Highness, things will always work out, don't worry."
Jamel Xiao sighed, "Okay, you go down first, let me think about this matter again."
In fact, Liu Rumei also knew that it would be difficult to find Ge Cun's head if he did not enter Jizhou City.
But the risk of going into the city is too great.
She turned back to her tent, only to find that Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan were missing. When she asked, she said they had gone to the princess.
Liu Rumei also knew that the most important thing to find the princess was to find the Lotus Master. After all, the three of them were close sisters.
When Princess Zhaoning heard that the two of them were asking for an audience, of course she understood what was going on. She had no intention of seeing them, but then she thought that she had to give them an explanation, so she had to say to the maid next to her, "Let the two of them come in, and you all stand down."
.”
Soon Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying entered Princess Zhaoning's tent, and they knelt down respectfully to greet the princess.
"My dear friends, please get up quickly without being too polite."
"By the way, don't be too reserved when you come to my place. You two can sit wherever you like."
Shen Ziyan bowed again and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, may I ask where my senior sister, Master Lotus, is? I haven't seen her for a long time..."
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhaoning's expression changed slightly, and an unnatural look appeared on her face.
"Oh, Master, she is out for something."
Shen Ziyan realized from the princess's hesitant and vague expression that the matter was not that simple, so she asked again, "Your Highness, where did my senior sister go? Please give me the answer. Let's go look for her now!"
After hesitating for a moment, Princess Zhaoning sighed again, knowing that sooner or later the matter would have to be hidden.
"Hey, you two, I won't hide it from you until now. It's all my fault."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying looked at each other and immediately had an ominous premonition that something big must have happened.
Sure enough, Princess Zhaoning stood up, came to the two of them, and actually bowed to them, "Two junior sisters, I, Xiao Jingfeng, really can't help you."
When they heard that they were called their aunt, they both realized that this matter was definitely not a big deal.
"Your Highness Princess, please don't call me that. You'll kill both of us. If you have anything to say, just say it."
After Shen Ziyan said these words, when she looked at Princess Zhaoning, her eye circles began to turn red.
"Two senior sisters, my master went to Jizhou City to inquire about information two days ago, but he was arrested. Along with him, Chu Han and the little girl were arrested."
"What?" Huang Ying became anxious upon hearing this, "Where is my senior sister? Tell me quickly, I will save him now."
"It's right here in Jizhou City. I don't know the rest." After saying this, Princess Zhaoning burst into tears.
Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan looked at each other and retreated silently.
They knew that Princess Zhaoning was crying sincerely, and she must be regretting that she asked her master to go to Jizhou City, but what's the use of regret? Everything has happened, and the most important thing now is to solve the problem.
