Liu Kai bowed slightly to Liu Rumei, "Miss, I'd better go for you, I'm an old man, life or death doesn't matter."
But Liu Rumei shook her head, "I can pretend not to know anything when I go, but won't it be revealed as soon as you go?"
"All the supplies are piled up on the steep slope. There is nothing steep to defend. We still need to organize people to transport them in as soon as possible."
"Although Liu Ce and the others have been working hard, their manpower is limited after all, so I would like to ask you to work hard and go up the mountain tonight."
After listening to Liu Rumei's arrangement, Liu Kai sighed helplessly, "Okay, I will follow the young lady's arrangement."
"By the way, I will ask Chen Xiaobei to bring someone to accompany you up the mountain. In addition, you must keep an eye on Chen Xiaobei and don't let him come down the mountain again."
After hearing Liu Rumei's words, Liu Kai's eyes flashed with surprise.
He had watched Liu Rumei grow up, and had been cared for by everyone since he was a child. Others had always cared about him, but he had never seen Liu Rumei caring about others.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei and several village protection team members were warming themselves under the big locust tree. They were discussing the next arrangements. According to Chen Xiaobei's plan, they were to follow the prince Xiao Jingyun into the mountains, but in this case He didn't know when was the right time to bring it up, so he could only wait for the prince to walk up the mountain while they followed him.
At this moment, they saw Liu Rumei walking over. Everyone noticed and stood up one after another and excused themselves to leave, leaving only Chen Xiaobei and Huang Ying.
Seeing Huang Ying sitting next to Chen Xiaobei, a hint of surprise flashed through Liu Rumei's eyes.
Chen Xiaobei obviously understood the meaning of Liu Rumei's look, and he hurriedly explained, "Oh, Miss Huang Ying stayed to protect my safety."
Liu Rumei smiled and said nothing. Seeing Liu Rumei's smile, Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much. Wasn't there no silver here?
Liu Rumei looked at Chen Xiaobei and said seriously, "Butler Liu Kai wants to go into the mountain tonight, and I would like to trouble you to escort him up."
"In addition, the army will arrive tomorrow. For safety reasons, you can go to the top of the mountain with Liu Ce and the others, and don't come back again. I don't know if you are willing."
Chen Xiaobei thought to himself, this is exactly what he wants. He just wants to be with you, but he didn't expect that you would take the initiative to speak.
"Okay, if Miss Liu asks us to stay on the mountain, we will stay and help you."
While I was talking here, I heard a commotion at the entrance of the village.
Because there is no one in the village, there are no village guards on duty.
Chen Xiaobei stood up and took a few steps forward. At this time, someone in the distance was heard shouting, "Hey, it's Miss Xiaoqing who's back."
Upon hearing that Xiao Qing was back, Liu Rumei suddenly thought loudly and shouted, "Xiao Qing, I'm here."
Hearing Liu Rumei's voice, Xiao Qing immediately ran over and said, "Miss, I'm back."
Liu Rumei nodded, "It's good to come back, but can we find Ma Biao and the others?"
"Found it. They have been guarding the Dragon King River. In a few more hours, they will probably arrive."
Hearing this, Liu Rumei finally felt relieved. It was great. Ma Biao's return had removed the last of her worries, and she could prepare to deal with Zhu Meng with all her strength.
At this time, Zhu Meng had arrived only thirty miles away from Qingniu County. Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered the army to set up camp and leave tomorrow.
After dinner, Zhu Meng called several generals under his tent over to discuss matters together.
"Generals, we will go to Qingniu County tomorrow. I think Xiao Jingyun must have received the news early."
A red-faced man next to him, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, stood up and said, "Marshal, the last general, Wang Longyuan, is taking the lead."
Zhu Meng smiled and shook his head, "General Wang, I know you are brave enough to be brave, but this is not about charging into battle. All we want is Xiao Jingyun's head. We cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"But. Xiao Jingyun will definitely not be captured without mercy." Wang Long still looked very unwilling.
At this time, a thin man stood up next to him. He was not wearing armor, just a green suit.
"General Wang, please don't be anxious. Please listen to me, Zhang Liao." As the man spoke, he clasped his fist at Zhu Meng.
Zhu Meng nodded, "Commander Zhang, please speak."
Zhang Liao looked around at everyone present and said, "Everyone, we will arrive at Qingniu County at noon tomorrow. After arriving, we will go to see Xiao Jingyun in the name of paying homage to the prince."
"If he meets us, we will act accordingly. As long as we chop off his head, there will be no need to worry about the remaining Xiao Jingfeng."
Wang Lung still refused, "What if he doesn't see you?"
"If you don't see us, we will raise troops to surround him. Can't an army of 300,000 people surround Xiao Jingyun?"
After listening to his words, Zhu Meng nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that makes sense. As the saying goes, be polite before fighting. If he is merciless, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"The detective horses have been sent out. News will come back early tomorrow morning. Please don't drink too much tonight, so as not to miss tomorrow's business."
While they were discussing, Princess Zhaoning hurried to Hetou Village with Master Lianhua and others.
Xiao Jingyun actually had no hope that Princess Zhaoning would come at this time. After all, he had been waiting hard for a day, but he didn't expect that just when he gave up, Princess Zhaoning suddenly came.
The unexpected surprise cheered up Xiao Jingyun. Naturally, there are not so many polite things when the brother and sister meet.
Princess Zhaoning bowed and said, "I received a letter from my brother early in the morning, but I was delayed in dealing with some personal matters in the county town."
Jamel Xiao smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, "Okay, sit down. It's great if you can come. Follow me up the mountain tomorrow morning."
Princess Zhaoning thanked you again, "Brother, I came in a hurry and didn't bring you any greeting gifts."
Jamel Xiao waved his hand, "Okay, you don't have to be so polite with me. I'll arrange for someone to take you down to rest."
After settling Princess Zhaoning, Xiao Jingyun breathed a long sigh of relief. In his opinion, everything was ready and he was waiting to go up the mountain tomorrow.
It was getting dark the next day, and Hetou Village was busy again.
The village guards have all left, as have the aborigines of Hetou Village. The people who are busy are the people from the Liu Mansion, the people brought by the Lotus Cult Master, and the little girl.
Prince Xiao Jingyun and Princess Zhaoning Xiao Jingfeng stood side by side, watching everyone busy here.
After watching for a long time, the two of them turned around and looked at each other tacitly, and smiled knowingly at each other. At this moment, they found some kind of tacit understanding, but everyone knew in their hearts that this tacit understanding was only temporary.
Liu Rumei returned to her Liu Mansion.
He slept until three o'clock in the morning, got up lazily, and called Xiaoqing to the street to find a restaurant to fill his stomach.
The two ordered two bowls of noodles and had just eaten a few mouthfuls when they saw a few stout men sitting at the table next door.
