Of course Chen Xiaobei was also curious. He didn't give any money to himself. If he said it was given to someone else, it must be more valuable than the money. But what other treasures could there be?
Under the attention of everyone, Prince Xiao Jingyun took out a golden waist badge from his sleeve.
On the front of this waist badge is a tiger's head, which protrudes outward by more than an inch. It looks majestic and lifelike.
When she saw this thing, even Shen Ziyan was stunned. It was obvious that she knew what it was.
Prince Xiao Jingyun took the badge and said to Chen Xiaobei with a smile, "Chen Aiqing, I give you this tiger-head badge. With it, even if you go in and out of various princes' palaces in the capital, they will not dare to stop you. "
Of course Chen Xiaobei knew that this sentence was just to show that the tiger head gold medal was a very cool object, but in fact, if you really go to someone's home, you have to say hello to them.
Chen Xiaobei did not refuse, he came forward to take the badge and thanked Jamel Xiao again.
Xiao Jingyun looked at Chen Xiaobei, then at Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying and then said, "Have the three beloved ladies ever thought about going to the capital to serve the imperial court?"
Hearing that Huang Ying was the first to speak, she shook her head repeatedly, "I'm not going, I'm not going. Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It's not a good thing to serve the imperial court."
Shen Ziyan was startled when she heard what she said. She hurriedly reached out and tugged her arm, "Huang Ying, don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Jingyun acted very indifferently, raised his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, Miss Shen, let Miss Huang Ying finish her sentence."
Huang Ying's face was full of indifference, "Just say what you say. They say that being with a king is like being with a tiger. Maybe one day, if you say something wrong, you will lose your head."
"You!" Shen Ziyan stared again.
Even Chen Xiaobei was a little shocked. He knew Huang Ying was outspoken, but he didn't expect her to be so bold and dare to say such things even in front of Jamel Xiao.
Liu Rumei's expression changed with fright. Just when she was about to speak, Shen Ziyan over there spoke first, "Your Highness, Huang Ying, you have been used to being unhindered since you were a child. Don't be angry."
Xiao Jingyun laughed, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. What Miss Huang Ying said is actually true."
"It's just that for others, if you follow me, I will humbly accept your opinions and will never kill people because of your direct advice."
Chen Xiaobei was very dissatisfied with his statement. There were such precedents in his previous life, even the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty.
Although the public opinion was wide open, it was not without its mistakes.
In his mind, he remembered what Liu Rumei had said to him in the mountains.
Looking at the gold medal in his hand, Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt a little hot.
But fortunately, with Huang Ying's words, Xiao Jingyun's explanation was enough, and he and Shen Ziyan no longer needed to express their stance.
Liu Rumei also immediately found the steps for Xiao Jingyun, "Your Highness, we have to take our time on this matter. Let the two sisters go down first. The children are still waiting to go to class."
This was a good excuse, and Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying immediately bowed and retreated.
After they both went out, Xiao Jingyun wanted to speak again, but at this time another person hurriedly entered outside.
"Your Highness Qizhen, Miss Qizhen, Ma Biao has sent someone back."
Upon hearing this, Jamel Xiao immediately became excited and said, "Let him in quickly."
Soon Ma Shuai was brought to Jamel Xiao.
When she saw it was Ma Shuai, Liu Rumei was also very excited, "Ma Shuai, you guys have to withdraw from Qingniu Mountain."
Marshal Ma nodded, saluted Xiao Jingyun and Liu Rumei again, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Miss, we have already crossed the river, and the rope you left has been destroyed."
After hearing this, Liu Rumei was completely relieved. There would be no obstacles after crossing the Dragon King River.
Xiao Jingyun also nodded repeatedly, "Very good, very good, dear friends, you have worked hard."
However, Ma Shuai clasped his fists again, "Master Ma's intention is to lead people to hold on to the river and block the way down the mountain from the enemy who is pursuing us."
After hearing this, Jamel Xiao was stunned. He looked at Liu Rumei, and then his eyes showed joy.
"Oh, why didn't I think of this?"
Liu Rumei couldn't hide her joy, "Your Highness, this is great. Liu Ce and the others are guarding the steep slope, and Ma Biao is guarding the Longwang River. The Lotus Cult Master and the others will not be able to escape even with their wings."
Chen Xiaobei felt a little complicated after hearing this.
Of course he admired Ma Biao's decision from the bottom of his heart. Being able to make such a judgment immediately showed that Ma Biao's title of Ma Biao's military advisor was not given for nothing.
But he had another impression of Liu Rumei, that she was ruthless. She looked as smiling as a flower and harmless to humans and animals, but he didn't expect to make such a ruthless decision.
This may be the cruelty of the struggle between interest groups in the court.
After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Xiao Jingyun looked very excited.
"Okay, great, just as you said."
After speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Quan, "Wei Zhou, please immediately arrange for manpower to rush to Ma Aiqing's aid."
Hearing that someone was going to be sent to Longwang River, Chen Xiaobei had an idea.
This is a good opportunity for me to return the favor to Prince Xiao Jingyun.
You have taken someone else's tiger head badge, and if you don't do something, you will feel sorry for them. Guarding the Dragon King River is easy. With a serial crossbow, you can shoot anyone who crosses the river. There is no danger.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei stood up and said loudly, "Your Highness, we have a village protection team in Hetou Village. The villagers are more familiar with the conditions in the mountains. Let us go together."
Liu Rumei instantly understood what Chen Xiaobei meant, and then thought that it might not be a good thing if Chen Xiaobei was deeply involved in the prince's affairs.
So she quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I also think it would be safer for Chen Xiaobei to send some people there. They are familiar with the local villagers and can communicate better."
As he spoke, he winked at Jamel Xiao.
Jamel Xiao naturally understood it.
"Okay, I'd like to thank Chen Aiqing. By the way, Zhouquan, you can equip Chen Aiqing with more serial crossbows and the like. Don't be short-handed."
After hearing this, Xiaobei cursed in his heart, Xiao Jingyun was indeed an old fox. He knew that he wanted to repay the favor, so he immediately gave him some serial crossbows and other equipment to make the favor unfinished.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether he has to finish it or not, just take it one step at a time.
When Chen Xiaobei arrived home, he immediately came to Chen Dachun to discuss who should be sent to follow Zhou Quan and the others to Longwang River.
After listening to his story, Chen Dachun seemed a little hesitant.
"Brother Xiaobei, if we get involved with the army, we won't get much advantage."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood Chen Dachun's worries. He smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, there is no bridge on the Dragon King River. If anyone wants to cross the river, just shoot him with a serial crossbow. There is no danger."
