After Xiao Jingyun's guidance and instigation, people in the city will naturally not stop there. This is also a way to divide the enemy.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei, Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan had already driven away in the carriage. Sitting in the carriage were the Lotus Cult Leader and her personal disciple Jasmine.
After leaving the military camp and walking back, several people felt quite heavy, and no one spoke during the whole journey.
Of course Liu Tie, who was behind everyone, also knew that Chen Xiaobei was in a bad mood, so he naturally didn't speak. Dozens of people walked forward silently, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
After not walking far, Chen Xiaobei would turn around and ask Liu Tie behind him, "Do you have any news about Yang Zhi and the others?"
However, all he got was Liu Tie's shaking head.
We walked until noon and saw that there were no military camps on the roadside. Liu Tie immediately came over and said, "Brother Xiaobei, it's getting late. We have to stop and have a bite to eat."
Although there were no noodle and bun shops on the roadside, luckily they brought some food with them when they left in the morning.
Just heat it up briefly at noon.
Although Chen Xiaobei missed Cui Hongyu, he couldn't do too much, so he had to stop to eat when it was time to eat.
At this moment, Jasmine suddenly came to Chen Xiaobei and whispered, "Brother Xiaobei, Master asked you to come over."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, and as Jasmine came to the carriage, Jasmine stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain, and saw the Lotus Leader inside looking at him with a smile on his face.
Chen Xiaobei cupped his fists and said, "What are your orders, Senior Sister?"
The Lotus Leader looked at Chen Xiaobei, "I heard from Huang Ying that Cui Hongyu has disappeared. It is speculated that he was kidnapped and brought to Jizhou, right?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, but I haven't been able to find his whereabouts after searching for many days."
The Lotus Leader looked at him and said seriously, "Do you know why she can't be found?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, "Please give me some advice, Senior Sister."
"You guys have been coming here in waves, searching all the way. I heard that you even sent people back to look for him, plus the prince sent out sentries both overt and covert."
"If it were you taking Cui Hongyu with you, would you still dare to show your face?"
After listening to the words of the Lotus Leader, Chen Xiaobei was thoughtful.
If you think about it carefully, Master Lotus is right, this is really what happened.
If it were me, seeing this wave of people coming and going, I would find a place to hide or simply change places and destinations.
"So what do you think, Senior Sister?"
"If you want me to tell you, go and tell the prince to remove all the overt and hidden sentries. You also ask Liu Tie to chase everyone back. We will send a few people to guard the crossroads dozens of miles away.
mouth."
"The crossroads extend in all directions, making it easy to go anywhere. Even if he doesn't go to Jizhou and turns elsewhere, he will probably turn there."
After hearing the words of the Lotus Leader, Chen Xiaobei had a feeling of enlightenment. He immediately turned around to find Liu Tie and told the Lotus Leader his views. Liu Tie nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, I will send a message asking Yang Zhi and the others to stay at an inn directly and stop wandering back and forth."
"Butler Liu, I have to trouble you to make a trip to meet His Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to remove all the secret sentries." Chen Xiaobei said sincerely.
Liu Tie nodded and cupped his fists.
"Brother Xiaobei, take care. I'll go back quickly and I'll catch up with you before dark."
Liu Tie and Ma Rufei left, and Chen Xiaobei arranged for someone to prepare a meal. Although Huang Ying was gentle and considerate to him, the meal Chen Xiaobei ate was still tasteless.
Huang Ying also had a sad look on her face, "Brother Xiaobei, if we just walk at that intersection, wouldn't it be too risky?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "If they are coming to Jizhou, they will definitely pass by there. Senior Sister is right."
Huang Ying nodded, "Then let's just trust senior sister and come and have a meal."
Chen Xiaobei mechanically opened his mouth and allowed Huang Ying to feed him a mouthful.
At this moment, Shen Ziyan came over not far away.
"Ahem."
Shen Ziyan coughed twice. Huang Ying's face turned red and she hurriedly put down the food in her hand.
Shen Ziyan came over and sat opposite Huang Ying, "Huang Ying, I just discussed it with the senior sister. I want to go back with the senior sister first. She has an injury on her leg and has difficulty moving."
Without even thinking about it, Huang Ying nodded and agreed, "Okay, okay, you go back quickly. You will have to take care of me during this journey."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood that although he said it to Huang Ying, he said it for himself.
After all, Hetou Village is your own territory.
Of course, Chen Xiaobei fully agreed with Shen Ziyan's proposal.
"Senior Sister's leg injury is quite serious. I'm afraid she won't be able to recover for a while. Ziyan, you need to take more care of her."
Shen Ziyan nodded, with a hint of relief on her face, "We'll leave first after dinner. By the way, Huang Ying, you have to take good care of Brother Xiaobei."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Watching her leave, Huang Ying suddenly pouted angrily, "It was so perfunctory, and she didn't even wait for me to finish my polite words."
Chen Xiaobei raised his hand and patted Huang Ying's shoulder, "Okay, stop complaining. Senior Sister is injured, and everyone is in a bad mood."
"Eat, after eating, we have to leave quickly. We must get to the intersection before dark."
Because there were carriages in the morning, Chen Xiaobei and the others only traveled about forty miles. For this distance, Liu Tie could ride a fast horse and return to the military camp in an hour.
Seeing Liu Rumei, Liu Tie told Chen Xiaobei what he was thinking. After listening, Liu Rumei frowned.
"It would be too dangerous to just wait and wait. If we miss it, although our Dacang country is not big, if we try to find Cui Hongyu, we will probably be looking for a needle in a haystack."
Liu Tie also sighed, "Yes, but Chen Xiaobei's attitude is very firm, and I can't persuade him much."
Liu Rumei nodded, "In that case, I will go and see the prince and ask him to withdraw the secret sentry."
Soon Liu Rumei came to ask to see the prince Xiao Jingyun.
Xiao Jingyun seemed to be in a good mood today. He smiled and asked Liu Rumei to sit down, "Rumei, come and sit down."
Liu Rumei did not sit down, but bowed and clasped her fists, "Your Highness, Chen Xiaobei sent a message just now, saying that he wants you to withdraw all the secret whistles!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jamyun frowned, "Oh, have you found Cui Hongyu?"
"No, he just said that the coming and going might disturb the kidnappers, so he wanted to wait and see."
Saying this, Xiao Jingyun suddenly slammed the table, "You Chen Xiaobei, you don't know what is good or bad. I sent people to help you, but you think I am in the way. In this case, I will withdraw them all." The king will never want to deal with such a thing again."
