"You, are you Brother Liu Tie?" one of them suddenly shouted in surprise.
Liu Tie looked at him doubtfully, "Do you recognize me?"
"I recognize you, I recognize you. We followed Captain Zhou Quanzhou to Hetou Village and met you a few days ago."
Hearing this, Liu Tie couldn't help but laugh. It was like a flood had washed down the Dragon King Temple, and one family did not recognize the other.
Liu Tie hurriedly helped the two people up, "Oh, I'm so sorry, get up quickly."
"This place is more than a hundred miles away from Jizhou. Why is the net cast so far away?"
The two briefly explained that Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying came to the military camp to look for Cui Hongyu. After hearing this, Liu Tie secretly sighed that these two girls were so loyal. They had already arrived here before Chen Xiaobei came back. Come and make arrangements in advance.
Liu Tie turned back and briefly explained the situation to Chen Xiaobei. Chen Xiaobei frowned after hearing this, "Brother Liu Tie, I feel like something is not right. Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan chased each other all the way. We chased them all the way and didn't notice anything unusual. Could it be that they haven't come to Jizhou?"
After Liao Liutie heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "But where can they go if they don't come? It's not convenient for them to handle such a big living person."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The inconvenience reminded Chen Xiaobei immediately.
"Aiya. Brother Liu Tie, you are right. We are too impatient. Think about it, how far can Liu Xiaobao drive his carriage to Jizhou in one day? And if he takes Hong Yu with him, it won't be dark until it turns dark. Just check in early.”
"I think we probably missed it because we drove all night."
After hearing this, Liu Tie nodded approvingly, it was indeed possible, "Then what should we do next?"
"Let Yang Chun and Yang Zhi take the people back. We'll wait here."
"But now that we are here, I think we still need to meet my young lady." Liu Tie put forward his own opinion.
After listening to Liu Tie's words, Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment, and nodded with a smile, "That's true, we are at the door of the house, but it does not make sense to go and have a look. Well, let's go to Daying. "
At this time, in Xiao Jingyun's camp outside Jizhou City, the soldiers had already prepared dinner. Bonfires were lit everywhere, with the smell of rice and people coming and going. It was very lively, but at this time Shen Qiang quietly slipped out. I was alone in the military camp and reached about a mile outside the south gate of Jizhou.
He looked carefully in the dark and made sure that there was no hidden sentry ambushing him. Then he continued to move forward. When he reached the city gate, which was about an arrow's throw away, he stopped, aimed at a piece of wood on the city wall, and shot an arrow.
There is a letter written by him on the arrow, which is addressed to Zhu Meng.
Soon the letter written by Shen Qiang was delivered to Zhu Meng. After reading the letter, he seemed a little hesitant and said, "Go and call Zhang Liao."
After Zhang Liao came in, he was about to speak when Zhu Meng waved his hand and pushed the letter on the table in front of him, "Zhang Liao, look at what's going on."
In the letter, Shen Qiang wrote very directly, saying that Xiao Jingyun ordered him to fake surrender and sneak into Jizhou City to prepare internal responses.
After reading this letter, Zhang Liao smiled slightly.
"Commander, this is very simple. At midnight, we will follow Shen Qiang's instructions and open the city gate to let him in."
"What if Shen Qiang has other plans?"
Zhang Liao looked up and laughed, "Commander, I'm afraid you are worrying too much. Shen Qiang has been with you for ten years, and Xiao Jingyun has only been with him for a few days. Besides, even if Shen Qiang has second thoughts, he can only lead a hundred or ten people." What kind of storm is it causing?"
"But if you don't let him in, and if this matter spreads, then Xiao Jingyun's troops who surrendered from Qingniu County will naturally no longer have the idea of defecting to us."
After hearing Zhang Liao's analysis, Zhu Meng nodded, "Okay, then I will reply to him immediately. At midnight tonight, we will open the south door to welcome him in."
After getting the reply, Shen Qiang came back immediately and showed it to Liu Rumei in person.
After Liu Rumei looked at it, he nodded solemnly, "Shen Qiang, remember what I said, just treat yourself as if you have really surrendered to Zhu Meng again, don't make any changes, as long as you bring me, Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying into Jizhou Cheng, your mission is completed, do you understand?"
Shen Qiang nodded, "I remember, if I bring you into the city, my mission will be completed. I will accept Zhu Meng's arrangements."
Liu Rumei did not speak, but raised her head and looked at the waning moon in the sky, "I hope everything goes well."
Seeing that the third watch was approaching, the prince Xiao Jingyun and the princess Zhaoning were both here. Xiao Jingyun stared at Liu Rumei with a solemn expression on his face, "Rumei, please take care and come back safely."
Princess Zhaoning didn't say anything, she just came forward and gave Liu Rumei a gentle hug, "It's all because of Jingfeng's lack of consideration that she put her sister in danger."
Liu Rumei shook her head and said, "Your Highness has disgraced me. Serving the imperial court is my duty within the Liu family."
Princess Zhaoning came to Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying again and bowed to them again, "Two sisters, I'll do everything for you."
The two of them also returned the gift together, "Your Highness has spoken seriously, and we are willing to serve the imperial court."
Liu Rumei, Huang Ying, and Shen Ziyan bowed to Prince Xiao Jingyun and Princess Zhaoning, then turned and entered the tent.
With little effort, three heroic soldiers came out. Seeing the appearance of the three of them, Xiao Jingyun couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "They look so much alike that even I can't recognize who you three are." Daughter body."
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Shen Qiang with a solemn look on his face, "Shen Qiang, please ensure the safety of the three of them. I will give you a reward when the matter is accomplished."
Shen Qiang clasped his fists at Xiao Jingyun and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that as long as Shen Qiang breathes, he will never let the three of you suffer any harm."
Xiao Jingyun nodded and waved, and Shen Qiang led the three of them towards the distance.
In fact, many of the more than 100 people Shen Qiang brought with him were still willing to go to Zhu Meng. Although there were some individuals who were unwilling, in general, they were still willing to follow Shen Qiang's leadership.
According to the plan, Shen Qiang had already asked them to break up into pieces and wait outside the camp in twos and threes.
Shen Qiang brought the three of them to the crowd and said in a deep voice, "These are my three good brothers who want to come with us."
Naturally, his soldiers did not dare to say anything. Shen Qiang asked the three of them to follow him closely so that he could be taken care of.
Soon the group of people arrived outside the south gate. According to the predetermined plan, Shen Qiang took out the fire stick and lit three torches and made continuous circles in the air.
Upstairs at the city gate, Zhu Meng saw the signal and couldn't help but urge, "Okay, Shen Qiang is here, open the door quickly and let him in!"
