Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei couldn't help but frown, "He really went up the mountain."
"Oh, not only did I go by myself, but I also brought a hundred and ten people with me this time." Huang Ying next to her couldn't help complaining.
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei's expression became serious.
"Okay, then I will make arrangements immediately and send someone to Hetou Village immediately."
After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Cui Hongyu also felt relieved, and she bowed slightly.
"In that case, thank you Miss Liu."
Liu Rumei smiled and waved, "Sister, you can't be so polite to me."
After Cui Hongyu said that, she turned around and left. Watching her go away, Liu Rumei sighed.
"Oh, I really envy you."
Talking about envy, but not stopping on her feet, Liu Rumei hurriedly came to see Prince Xiao Jingyun.
After listening to Liu Rumei's introduction, Xiao Jamyun nodded.
"There should be the remnants of Zhu Meng's troops on the mountain. It is very dangerous for the villagers of Hetou Village to go up the mountain. You should immediately send people to Hetou Village. In addition to protecting the safety of the villagers, try to go up the mountain as soon as possible and find Chen Xiaobei and the others."
After speaking, he turned around and looked at Zhou Quan, "Split your manpower in half and go to Hetou Village to protect the safety of the villagers."
While everyone was discussing, they heard the sound of footsteps. Soldiers entered the tent and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, there is a man named Shen Qiang coming from outside the military camp. He said he was from Zhu Meng's team left behind in Qingniu. Come and surrender to you.”
Upon hearing this, Prince Xiao Jingyun stood up in confusion.
"Oh, how many people are here?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are about a hundred people here."
Upon hearing this Jamel Xiao, he couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
"There are more than a hundred people. Zhu Meng will never leave just such a few on the mountain."
In fact, there was something Liu Rumei didn't say.
When they came down from the mountain, they set a fire. It is estimated that the defenders near the steep slope ran down the mountain overnight. These people must have not had time to go down the mountain.
Soon Shen Qiang was brought to the Crown Prince Xiao Jingyun.
As soon as he entered the tent, Shen Qiang lifted up his shirt, knelt down with a bang, and said, "Shen Qiang, please pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Jingyun raised his hand, "Shen Qiang, why did you come to join me?"
"You are betraying Zhu Meng."
After hearing this, Shen Qiang clasped his fists with a serious look on his face and said, "When we came from Wannian City with Zhu Meng, we didn't know the truth. Later we found out that we were going to be enemies with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"I, Shen Qiang, do not want to fight with my colleagues, let alone attack the common people, so I am willing to lead my troops to surrender."
After listening to Shen Qiang's words, Jamel Xiao nodded approvingly.
"Shen Qiang, you did the right thing."
Then he changed the subject, "How many of you are there on Qingniu Mountain now?"
Shen Qiang briefly thought about it, "There were about 5,000 people left behind at first, but then there was a fire in the camp on the mountain for no apparent reason, and more than half of them were lost. Later, everyone dispersed one after another. I took more than 100 people with me. After coming down, there are probably only a few dozen people left near the top of Qingniu Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Jamel Xiao frowned.
So there are still thousands of stragglers on the mountain, wouldn't Chen Xiaobei be more dangerous?
The one who was more anxious than him was Liu Rumei. Liu Rumei directly cupped her fists and bowed and said, "Your Highness, without any delay, please allow me to rush to Hetou Village immediately."
At this moment, Princess Zhaoning also stood up and said, "Brother, I will go too."
Xiao Jingyun looked at Princess Zhaoning and saw that Princess Zhaoning had a sincere face, and he understood instantly. If she doesn't show off, Princess Zhaoning will have no chance to make meritorious deeds.
Whatever.
Xiao Jamyun said in a deep voice, "After arriving at Hetou Village, you two will discuss with Cui Hongyu and be sure to respect his opinions."
After speaking, he turned to Zhou Quan and said, "Send all your men over."
"Send another two thousand soldiers and horses over."
Zhou Quan is a little surprised. You can take it seriously, but this is too much.
"Your Highness, there is no need for soldiers and horses. The few of us who rush over will have enough manpower."
Jamel Xiao shook his head.
"No, we must send more manpower. In case the people on the mountain haven't come down yet, we must ensure the safety of the villagers in Hetou Village."
In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark, but the leader of the Lotus Cult in Qingniu County still refused to give up. Before retreating, she wanted to say hello to Ma Han again. She must take her saviors out.
But this time, the Lotus Leader chose to take action himself.
Follow the bluestone alley in the county town, turn left and right, and come to the alley entrance of the Majia Courtyard.
From a distance, I saw several soldiers with swords walking back and forth.
Seeing this scene, the Lotus Leader knew that it was obviously impossible for her to go in so blatantly. She continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, walked around to a secluded place, and climbed up to the roof.
After checking the direction from the roof, the Lotus Master successfully landed in the Ma family courtyard.
Mahan and others were preparing to have dinner. They hid at home throughout the afternoon and did not go out.
Mahan was surprised and happy to see the leader of Lotus Flower coming, "Why are you here again?"
The Lotus Cult leader waved his hand and lowered his voice, "There are people watching you outside. Let's keep the story short."
"I'm going out of the city tonight. You go to the north gate at midnight tomorrow night, and I'll pick you up when you go out."
Upon hearing this, Ma Han smiled and waved his hand, "That's not necessary. The officers and soldiers came to check several times today and found no clues."
The leader of the Lotus Cult looked solemn, "I have lost so many soldiers. I can't find him for one day or two days. Can he not be anxious? I will make some noise for him tonight to divert his attention."
"Remember, it's the third watch tomorrow night."
After saying that, the Lotus Master turned to leave. After walking a few steps, he turned back.
"By the way, there are officers and soldiers standing guard outside. Don't go out unless absolutely necessary."
After saying this, the Lotus Cult Master jumped up, climbed onto the roof and quickly disappeared.
Watching the Lotus Master leave, Mahan finally showed a smile on his face.
"Brothers, if you persist for one more day, we will be out of trouble tomorrow."
"Come and let's open up and drink."
Mahan was drinking happily, and the Lotus Master was not idle either. She came to the west gate again under the cover of night.
The atmosphere in the city was tense, and the number of defenders at the city gate seemed to have increased a lot.
The Lotus Master smiled slightly, this level of defense was simply child's play for him.
With a shake of his hand, he fired out a few ox-hair needles, and immediately three soldiers fell down.
The soldiers nearby didn't know what was going on. Someone squatted down to check and found that he was dead, and immediately shouted.
Just after shouting twice, the soldier also fell down, and then four or five more people fell down.
Seven or eight people died at once, and the soldiers on the scene panicked.
Someone finally came to his senses and immediately blew the horn.
The low sound of the horn was circling, which made Wang Heng panic. When he came to the scene and saw so many people dead, he became furious.
"Can you see who did it?"
