"What did you say?"
"Miss, I received news from the capital that the second young master's coffin was hijacked. Except for Liu Ziming, the whereabouts of the others are unknown." The guard bowed and answered.
At this moment, Ma Biao walked in and clasped his fists and said, "Miss Chen Xiaobei is here, saying there is something urgent."
Before Liu Rumei could answer, Chen Xiaobei walked in quickly, "Miss Liu, Lidong is bringing..."
Before he finished his sentence, Chen Xiaobei realized that the atmosphere in the room seemed wrong.
Ma Biao patted his shoulder lightly, "Miss already knows."
After saying that, he took Chen Xiaobei out to the yard and said, "Something has happened to our Liu family. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."
Chen Xiaobei didn't understand what he called a big deal, but from Liu Rumei's expression just now, he could see that it was really not a trivial matter.
Even if Liu Yuanwu was shot and killed, Liu Rumei was not so devastated.
Chen Xiaobei looked up at the night sky and took two long breaths.
"Brother Ma, can you lend me a few crossbows? I want to lead people into the mountains."
Ma Biao nodded, "Okay, I asked Zhang Qian to bring a few people to accompany you, but I really..."
Chen Xiaobei knew that letting Zhang Qian take a few people with him might be Liu Rumei's limit.
After sending Chen Xiaobei away, Ma Biao entered the house again, "Miss, I asked Zhang Qian to take a few people with Chen Xiaobei into the mountains. By the way, I also lent him twenty serial crossbows."
Liu Rumei nodded slightly, "I know, but if they encounter Sima Wushuang, I'm afraid..."
Of course Ma Biao knew. If it really happened, what would it mean?
But now they can no longer care about so much. The most important thing at hand is how to recover Liu Yuanwu's body.
"Miss, I will take people to meet Liu Ziming immediately and start investigating from the place of incident."
Liu Rumei nodded and looked at Master Taiping.
"We can't delay the matter of Dragon Vein. I can't accompany you, Ma Biao."
Master Taiping waved his hand and said, "Miss Liu, you can go ahead and do your work. Just leave a few people to help me with the Dragon Vein matter."
Ma Biao clasped his fists and said, "No, Dragon Vein is the big deal. It is related to whether His Highness the Crown Prince can inherit the throne. There is nothing to be careless about."
After saying that, he gave Taiping a fist and said, "Young lady is right, please take care of yourself, Ma Biao is gone."
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had already begun to recruit people in the village.
When they heard that they were going to the mountains to find the villagers at the beginning of winter, they were all very enthusiastic. Even Dachun rushed out.
Chen Xiaobei looked at Dachun and said, "Brother, don't go. By the way, I'll leave a few more village protection team members for you. We've all left, but you must protect the villagers."
Dachun patted his chest and said, "Brother Xiaobei, don't worry, leave the family to me."
Chen Xiaobei led everyone into the mountain in a hurry.
nonstop.
At dawn, we arrived at the steep slope.
Just when they were about to go downhill along the rope, Zhang Qian suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Be careful, everyone, there seems to be someone there."
Looking in the direction of his finger, the woods were quiet and there was nothing.
Chen Xiaobei looked at Zhang Qian and said, "Brother Zhang, you may be too tired and your eyesight is dazzled. There is nothing there."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a few birds rustling in the woods.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei was shocked.
"It seems that there is really someone."
The scene of Liu Yuanwu being ambushed appeared in Zhang Qian's mind again, and he was still frightened.
Suddenly he made his hands like trumpets and shouted towards the woods, "Hey, stop hiding, everyone has seen you, come out."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone came to their senses and immediately started shouting.
After shouting for a while, let alone calling someone out.
The person running here shouted, "Brother Zhang, I am Ma Xiaogang, I am Ma Xiaogang!"
Ma Xiaogang.
Seeing him running over alone, Chen Xiaobei suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, before he could reach him, Ma Xiaogang was already crying with his mouth wide open.
"Brother Zhang Qian, brother Xiaobei, it's so miserable. It's so miserable."
Zhang Qian quickly asked someone to lower the rope and pull Ma Xiaogang up.
Ma Xiaogang came up and collapsed on the ground, "Brother Zhang, Xiaobei Village Chief, they are dead, they are all dead."
Chen Xiaobei was shocked and patted his shoulder gently, "Stop crying and tell me what's going on."
"Ma Xiaoyi, several brothers, and your villagers, Chen Lidong, were all shot to death."
With this sentence, Chen Xiaobei's mind buzzed.
"Is it at the chain bridge?"
"Yes, that's right there. We were walking, and they rushed out and fired arrows without saying a word."
"If Brother Yi didn't fight to the death to protect me, I'm afraid none of us would be able to escape."
After listening to his words, Chen Xiaobei stood up and looked into the distance, thoughtfully.
"Sun Jian, Sima Wushuang, you and I are at odds with each other."
Zhang Qian raised his hand and patted Ma Xiaogang, "Okay, please go aside and rest first. We will take you down the mountain later."
After calming Ma Xiaogang's emotions, Zhang Qian came to Chen Xiaobei's side and said, "Brother Xiaobei, what should we do next? How about we go back first."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head.
"No, I'm not going back. I'm going to carry Brother Lichun back. I can't let him die in the wilderness."
Zhang Qian quickly stopped his crazy idea, "Brother Xiaobei, don't be impulsive and endure the calm for a while. They are in the dark now. If we rush over there, I'm afraid the ending will be the same as Ma Xiaoyi and the others."
After Zhang Qian's repeated persuasion, Chen Xiaobei gradually calmed down.
"Okay then, just leave me alone."
Zhang Qian started making arrangements to go down the mountain, but Chen Xiaobei didn't want to give up.
He thought the matter over carefully. On the chain bridge, Sun Jian wanted to trap Liu Rumei to death.
Is there any way I can trap Sun Jian to death?
Chen Xiaobei stared at the woods in the distance and thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
Right here, right on this steep slope.
Even after holding on to this steep slope, Sun Jian was unable to go down the mountain.
"Brother Zhang, I won't go down the mountain anymore. I have to stay here. This is the only way down the mountain. Sun Jian and the others will come back sooner or later. I will kill Sun Jian here to avenge Brother Lidong."
"Is it okay here?" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qian's eyes lit up.
Needless to say, it was really a good idea. After wandering around the canyon for several days, they finally had to climb up and go down the mountain from here to guard this steep slope.
If we set up some more ambushes in the woods over there, would we still worry about not being able to kill Sima Wushuang?
But their manpower is far from enough.
After hearing his worries, Chen Xiaobei shook his head.
"Don't worry, we will have the manpower. Liu Ce and the others should be heading down the canyon now. If everything goes well, they will come here to meet us."
After listening to his words, Zhang Qian couldn't help but nodded. Not to mention Chen Xiaobei, this overall view is really amazing.
