Princess Zhaoning actually called Liu Rumei her sister, which was beyond Zhou Quan's expectation.
But from this sentence, he could also understand that his little calculation was probably in vain. I'm afraid it's impossible to count on Princess Zhaoning to come forward. ·
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to salute Princess Zhaoning and then turn around and leave.
Walking on the streets of Xiaojia Town, Zhou Quan felt helpless.
I'm walking aimlessly here. Chunhua suddenly ran out in a hurry.
"Captain Zhou, Captain Zhou."
When he turned around and saw Chun Hua, Zhou Quan was slightly surprised and stopped.
"Miss Chunhua, do you have anything else to do?"
Chunhua caught up to her and lowered her voice, "Brother Zhou, Her Royal Highness the Princess is a little willful. Don't take it too seriously."
After hearing this, Zhou Quan smiled and shook his head, "I know, it's okay. I'll think of a solution."
"Although Her Royal Highness said she would not help, she still sent me here. I want to hear from you again. Is the border really dangerous?"
Zhou Quan nodded lightly, "Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Great Earth Kingdom came in from the northwest."
"It's exactly the route they invaded with Dalin State a while ago. The walls of various state capitals along the way have not been repaired yet."
Hearing this, Chunhua nodded, "I understand. I will go back and report truthfully to Her Highness the Princess."
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you. If you really want to ask Miss Liu to come out, you might as well try Magistrate Hu of Qingniu County. Miss Liu has been in Qingniu County for many years. It is said that she has a close relationship with Magistrate Hu of Qingniu County." Ling is very friendly."
After hearing this, Zhou Quan hugged Chunhua and said with gratitude, "Thank you Miss Chunhua, I'll try again."
Chunhua turned around and returned to the inn. Seeing her return, Princess Zhaoning looked worried, "Have you told him everything?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has made it clear to him and asked him to find Hu Fan."
Princess Zhaoning nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go clean up. We have to return to Centipede Ridge and be ready to go. By the way, you go tell Feng Xiaoyue and let him take care of this store for me first, and the rest Wait until I get back."
It was dark in the blink of an eye. Chen Xiaobei's yard was still very lively, and many villagers came to eat, including Liu Rumei, Fang Jun and others.
Of course, it was Chen Xiaobei who called Fang Jun and Liu Rumei.
And there was a banquet table in the house specially for the two of them to eat together.
Chen Xiaobei briefly told Fang Jun what Zhou Quan had come to do today.
Fang Jun shook his head and said angrily, "Brother Xiaobei, if you want me to say it, let's not worry about it. Think about how you treated Mr. Liu Hou at the beginning. Now the prince has the nerve to come and say such things."
"Brother Xiaobei, do you want me to persuade Sister Liu to send troops to fight?"
Frankly speaking, Fang Jun's attitude was within Chen Xiaobei's expectation.
Chen Xiaobei nodded, looked at Liu Rumei, and then at Fang Jun, "Isn't it necessary? If you want to persuade Rumei to go to the front line, I will tell Zhou Quan today."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Rumei, "I'm worried about Zhou Quan, he will never give up. I'm worried that he will come again. Do you think there is any good way to reject Zhou Quan without hurting your harmony? "
However, Liu Rumei looked very indifferent, "It doesn't hurt your friendship. In short, I won't go."
Fang Jun suddenly slapped the table, "Miss Liu, you can't say that. After all, he is here on behalf of the prince. I have an idea. You can also pretend to be sick."
"It's human nature to get sick like this. He can't carry you away like this."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but laugh. Not to mention that this nerd sometimes really works, why didn't he think of this idea?
Thinking about my previous life, I read a lot of history books and found that there were many illnesses, the most famous of which was Sima. Pretending to be sick went to the extreme, and he finally fucked Cao Shuang.
Although Liu Rumei did not want to seize power, she could use this method of pretending to be sick.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei turned to Liu Rumei and said, "Rumei, I think this is a good idea."
Liu Rumei was already smiling from ear to ear, "Besides, what Fang Jun said is really a good idea. Zhou Quan is very worried. I guess he might come again soon, so I'll try this method!"
"Yes, yes, Miss Liu, you should be prepared tonight. You'd better pretend to be miserable and make me considerate. You won't be able to bear to speak at a glance!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "I'll ask Dayong to tell everyone later that the villagers should slow down their schooling for a while!"
Everything went as everyone expected. Early the next morning, while Chen Xiaobei and the others were still having breakfast in the yard, a member of the village protection team hurriedly ran over, "Chief Xiaobei, someone from the county government just sent a message. Magistrate Hu is coming."
"I said I came to give Xiaowen a gift!" Chen Xiaobei burst out laughing after hearing this. He told Hu Fan specifically two days ago that Hu Fan said he would come another day, but he didn't expect to change it to today, early in the morning. It was obvious that he was not just here to give gifts. It seemed that Zhou Quan had really found a good lobbyist.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Liu Rumei, "You should go back early to prepare. I will deal with it later, and then I will take Hu Fan to your place to have a look."
Liu Rumei agreed, put down her chopsticks and took Xiaoqing away. At this time, Chen Xiaobei also started to get busy, telling everyone to finish the meal quickly and clean up the place. After all, Hu Fan was going to be here later.
After waiting at the entrance of the village for about a stick of incense, I saw a dozen horses from a distance, followed by a carriage. The first one was Hu Fan.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei at the entrance of the village, Hu Fan waved to him from afar. After meeting, Chen Xiaobei still looked very polite and saluted Hu Fan respectfully, "I have seen Magistrate Hu, and I didn't know that the magistrate is here. Welcome from afar."
Hu Fan smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, brother Xiaobei, why should we be so polite between you and me?"
"After receiving the decree from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I had long wanted to come over and give Chen Xiaowen a congratulatory gift, but I have been busy with official duties and postponed it until today."
Chen Xiaobei hurriedly clasped his fists again, "Hu County Magistrate, it's really unlucky. Xiaowen has taken people to Jizhou. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the next few days."
"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just ask brother Xiaobei to pass it on." Hu Fan seemed very open-minded.
Chen Xiaobei stepped aside and invited Hou Fan to enter the village, "I will gather all the villagers together and ask Magistrate Hu to give everyone a few words."
Hu Fan declined deliberately. After all, this was not the main purpose of his visit. But then he thought about it. After all, this was something arranged by the prince. He couldn't be too perfunctory. Even if he was impatient, he couldn't rush it for a while.
Hu Fan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I must fulfill the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince."
This suited Chen Xiaobei's wishes, and he immediately ordered the village guards to gather people under the big locust tree.
