Hearing what Cui Hongyu said, the little girl snorted, "That's right, Sister Hongyu knows my details. Sister, don't worry, I will protect Brother Xiaobei for you."
After hearing what he said, Chen Xiaobei and Fang Jun looked at each other. Fang Jun spread his hands. Chen Xiaobei knew that Fang Jun must not be able to comfort him, so he asked for help.
At this time, the little girl also revealed her true purpose without any scruples.
"Brother Xiaobei, I will escort you to Wannian City, and I will also go home for a visit. I still have a lot of things left at home that I didn't have time to take away."
Well, this was both an escort and a companionship. At this time, I could no longer refute the little girl's wishes.
"Okay, okay, then we'll go together. When we get to Wannian City, you can go about your business."
"No, when you get to Wannian City, you will stay at my house. You can't marry Sister Rumei to an inn."
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while, smiled and nodded. "What you said makes sense."
Seeing that he agreed, the little girl rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "Let me tell you, Brother Xiaobei will definitely agree!"
Fang Jun had no choice but to nod his head and hugged Chen Xiaobei, "I'll leave everything to you."
"It's nothing. Little girl, you go back and prepare. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. We'll work hard and we can reach Wannian City in three days."
Just as Chen Xiaobei began to prepare, Zhou Quan also returned to Wannian City dejectedly.
Seeing Jamel Xiao, Zhou Quan lifted up his clothes and knelt down with a grunt.
"Your Highness, we arrived late and found a town. The store owner said that several people had fought in the woods behind. By the time we found it, two brothers had been killed."
"We looked around and asked many people, but we didn't find any clues, so we had no choice but to come back."
Xiao Jingyun stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Zhou Quan up from the ground.
"It's not your fault."
"We were not fully prepared. We didn't expect they had accomplices."
"By the way, I have ordered someone to summon Jingfeng. He has conducted a rough interrogation of the spy, and there should be some gains."
"Okay, you all go down and have a rest."
After making careful arrangements, Xiao Jamyun began to meditate on the map.
Xiao Jingfeng also mentioned a few days ago that Zhu Meng planned to attack Jizhou again.
Because Jizhou is so suitable for Zhu Meng.
Jizhou is only four to five hundred miles away from the border of Dalin State. Once Jizhou is occupied, the several hundred miles of land from Jizhou to the north and Dalin State will basically become the land of Dalin State. It would be difficult to get it back.
Therefore, Jizhou must be defended. Although he sent Du Bai out, Du Bai only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses. If Dalin State invaded in a large scale, they might not be able to hold on.
Thinking of this, he turned around and said to the people around him, "Go and call the Commander of the Army, Tian Wenhao."
With little effort, Tian Wenhao arrived in a hurry. After entering, he was about to salute when he was stopped by Jamel Xiao.
"Tian Sima, no need to be polite, let me ask you, have you prepared the food and fodder for 300,000 soldiers and horses that I ordered you to prepare a few days ago?"
Tian Wenhao had a sad look on his face, "Your Highness, most of the supplies of our Military and Horse Division were swept away by Zhu Meng. Now it is the middle of winter. It will naturally take some effort to mobilize from all over the country. Please give us more time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jamel Xiao slammed the table, "I'll give you time, but who will give me time? Will the Dalin Congress wait until we are ready before launching an attack?"
After listening to his words, Tian Wenhao stood there with his hands down and said nothing. Seeing this scene, Xiao Jingyun naturally understood that Tian Wenhao might really have no choice.
Jamel Xiao was disheartened and waved his hand, "Okay, let's go."
Unexpectedly, Tian Wenhao was not in a hurry to walk, but instead clasped his fists and saluted again, "Your Highness, there is a way to be a humble minister. I don't know whether to teach it or not."
"Oh, if you have any ideas, please tell me."
Tian Wenhao clasped his fists again, "Your Highness, as far as I know, when Zhu Meng fled Qingniu Mountain, he left a lot of military supplies still on the mountain. If I can gather those military supplies, it may be able to solve the urgent need."
Upon hearing this, Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows, yes, how could he forget this? Not to mention the huge amount of military supplies on Qingniu Mountain, it was more than enough to equip tens of thousands of horses and horses. After all, Zhu Meng had supplies for an army of 300,000 people on the mountain at that time.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "I remembered what you said. When I left, I heard that Liu Rumei had arranged for people to transport some down from the mountain. You can rush to Qingniu Mountain early tomorrow morning to take stock of the supplies. Let’s see how many there are. With the help of these, you must provide me with three months of supplies for 300,000 troops and horses.”
As he spoke, Xiao Jingyun left, stepped forward, took out his sword from the wall next to him, pulled it out, looked at it, and handed it forward, "Take this with you, and kill anyone who blocks it."
Tian Wenhao took the sword and bowed away.
Seeing him walking away, Jamel Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, having solved this big trouble. Next, it will be easier to allocate manpower.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the afternoon, more than a dozen fast horses rushed into Wannian City. Chen Xiaobei came with Yang Chun and others.
After everyone entered the city, they followed the little girl directly to the mansion of the old Prime Minister Fang Zheng.
At this time, there were only a few old servants in the home of the old prime minister Fang Zheng.
This was left behind deliberately by Fang Zheng. After all, such a big house cannot be left abandoned.
When several old family members saw the little girl coming, they were overjoyed and hurriedly cleaned the room.
At the same time, Chen Xiaobei called Yang Chun to the living room and began to discuss meeting Prince Xiao Jingyun.
The two checked the lines they had prepared again, and after making sure there were no problems, they ordered the spy Ding Laosan to be escorted to the Prince's Mansion.
Just as he was about to go out, Yang Chun suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the person next to him, "Go and catch a carriage."
Seeing Yang Chun being so cautious, Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you are too cautious."
Yang Chun chuckled, "Be careful when sailing a ten thousand year ship. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid that if something goes wrong in the capital, then we will suffer a big loss."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and had no choice but to let him go.
Soon someone brought a carriage over. Yang Chun pushed the spy Ding Laosan inside and then left Fang Zheng's house.
The two people were chatting and laughing, and drove the carriage to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. When they saw that it was Chen Xiaobei who was coming, the guard quickly reported inside.
Soon, Zhou Quan rushed out to greet Chen Xiaobei. When he saw Chen Xiaobei, he cupped his fists and saluted, "Brother Xiaobei is here. Hurry, please come inside."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and pointed at Yang Chun, "I met Brother Yang Chun on the way and brought a generous gift to His Highness the Crown Prince."
