At this moment, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside, followed by a very soft knock on the door, "Sister Hongyu, are you still asleep?"
This is the voice of the oriole.
Cui Hongyu stood up and opened the door gently, and Huang Ying squeezed in eagerly.
"Sister Huang Ying, why are you here?"
Huang Ying hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
Cui Hongyu pulled him to sit down next to her, "You, what are you trying to do with me? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Huang Ying nodded slightly, "Is there any news about Brother Xiaobei?"
Cui Hongyu's originally troubled heart felt a sense of joy inexplicably. He suddenly had a bold idea, why not take this opportunity to see what Huang Ying meant?
Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh, "Oh, there's no news at all. This man's big penis is different from that of a woman. He won't be home when he goes out, and he doesn't know how to send a message home."
Huang Ying looked at her in surprise. Obviously Huang Ying couldn't figure out why Cui Hongyu complained like this?
"Sister, Brother Xiaobei is not that kind of person, right?"
Cui Hongyu sighed again, "Oh, men are all the same. By the way, how do you know he is not?"
Huang Ying blushed a little after saying this, lowered her head, and said in a squeaky voice, "I, I guessed."
Cui Hongyu reached out to hold Huang Ying's hand and leaned against him.
"Sister, there is something I want to ask you:..."
Huang Ying looked at her in surprise at first, and then said, "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Sister, what do you think of my husband?"
With one sentence, Huang Ying's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and said softly, "I don't know what sister means."
"Okay, then let me ask you, do you think my husband is good?"
"Of course, brother Xiaobei..." Huang Ying suddenly raised her head and came back, but just halfway through her sentence, she seemed to realize something and quickly shut up.
Cui Hongyu smiled and took Huang Ying's hand, "Then are you willing to serve your brother Xiaobei for the rest of your life?"
Huang Ying looked at Cui Hongyu in surprise, obviously she would not expect such words to come out of Cui Hongyu's mouth.
Cui Hongyu looked at Shen Huangying with a sincere face, waiting expectantly for her answer.
"Huang Ying, I've thought about it. Anyway, the husband will marry a second and third wife. Instead of looking for someone else, it's better for us sisters to be together. We can still talk together in the future."
Huang Ying did not speak again, but stood up with a shy look on her face, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."
Seeing Huang Ying fleeing, Cui Hongyu couldn't help but smile. She had already got the answer.
It was bright and clear, but Qingniu Mountain was bustling with activity.
A large number of troops began to gather and began to move down the mountain.
Lu Dong, who had replaced Wang Long and was stationed at the foot of the mountain, couldn't help scratching his head when he saw so many people coming down.
Changes happen no matter what. I haven't been stable in the mountains for a few days, and now I have to come down again.
At this time, his younger brother Lu Xi leaned forward and whispered, "Brother, I think not a small part of the food and grass on the mountain has been burned."
"Oh, why?" Lu Dong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Brother, don't you understand this? If there is food and drink on the mountain, why should the commander come down in a hurry? He has to fight the prince when he comes down. This means that the mountain will not last long."
After listening to Lu Xi's analysis, Lu Dong nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense. It seems that the loss this time is not small."
Lu Xi lowered her voice again, "I think we have to leave a way out."
Lu Dong looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"Brother, think about it, the situation is a bit delicate now. If we can't win in a quick battle, we will be passive next time."
Lu Dong nodded, "Yes, you are right, if we cannot win this battle..."
After saying this, he turned to look at Lu Xi.
"What do you want?"
"Brother, let's contact the prince quietly and tell him what's going on here. If Jumong loses, we can be considered a meritorious minister. Not to mention being promoted to a higher position, at least we can save our heads."
After hearing what Lu Xi said, Lu Dong touched his chin and sparse beard, thought for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Okay, you send someone to handle this matter. It must be done quickly and it must be kept confidential."
At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jingyun received a secret letter from Lu Dong.
Xiao Jingyun was very happy to see the letter written by Lu Dong to him. This showed that Zhu Meng's men were not monolithic, and there were still cracks that could be exploited.
Xiao Jingyun once again summoned the two princes, Princess Zhaoning and others to discuss.
"Zhu Meng led his people down the mountain to fight me to the death."
Mr. Zhao Laohou nodded, "This may mean that Chen Xiaobei and the others have succeeded."
Xiao Jingyun expressed great recognition of this point of view, "You are right. Without food and grass, Zhu Meng will be so anxious. If so, we will have to stand still."
"Yes, as long as we hold on, it will be Zhu Meng who is in trouble."
Everyone had made a decision and started preparations immediately. All the soldiers gave up their short weapons and replaced them with long bows and hard crossbows. In one word, they resolutely defended the camp. As long as the enemy was not allowed to rush in, everything else was easy to say.
Looking at the busy soldiers, Xiao Jingyun waved and called the guard captain Zhou Quan over.
"Take someone to Centipede Ridge and make it clear to Hu Fan and Cui Hongyu that you must brace yourself to be prepared for Zhu Menggu to jump over the wall and besiege Centipede Ridge."
"Your Highness, since you are worried about them besieging Centipede Ridge, why don't you bring Cui Hongyu and others over?"
Faced with Zhou Quan's question, Xiao Jamming shook his head slightly, "Zhu Meng has almost 300,000 troops. We only have 100,000, so we have doubts about whether we can hold it. It's safer to stay at Centipede Ridge than here."
After hearing Xiao Jingyun's words, Zhou Quan bowed slightly and said, "My subordinates know, I'll go right away."
On Centipede Ridge.
The county magistrate Hu Fan was a little nervous when he heard that Zhu Meng's army was gathering at the foot of the mountain.
After all, Zhu Meng had an army of 300,000, while the prince only had 100,000.
If Zhu Meng feels that he is rich in manpower, he will naturally harass Centipede Ridge. After all, Chen Xiaobei on Centipede Ridge has a close relationship with the prince.
Fortunately, there are a thousand soldiers under his command. Although their martial arts skills are average, they can only defend well.
If you are far away, you can serve with bows and arrows, if you are close, you can roll logs and rocks. As long as it is not close combat, the force value cannot be used for reference.
After Cui Hongyu heard this, he was worried.
The people on the mountain suddenly came down, which meant that Chen Xiaobei was most likely successful, but the more this happened, the more violent Zhu Meng's revenge would be.
Besides a few village protection team members, the only people she could rely on were Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan.
After listening to her story, Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying frowned.
"It's okay not to come. If Zhu Meng really wants to come, don't talk about us. Plus Hu Fan's thousand men are not enough to fill the gap."
