Liu Rumei also sighed, "Yes, the situation is probably worse than we imagined."
At this time, in Qingniu County, Zhou Quan once again received an urgent report from Prince Xiao Jingyun.
The Dacang Kingdom was defeated again and was forced to retreat 200 miles. After this retreat, the army of the Great Tu Kingdom was less than 300 miles away from Wannian City.
Looking at this report, Zhou Quan couldn't sleep or eat well, but he didn't know it at this time. Princess Zhaoning had already left Centipede Ridge, and Zhou Quan's heart was full of unwillingness and entanglement at this time. He knew that things had reached this point. Even if he rushed there overnight, it would be a drop in the bucket for the hundreds of thousands of Earth Kingdom soldiers.
After thinking about it, Zhou Quan made up his mind that he could only shamelessly go to Liu Rumei again. If Liu Rumei was still indifferent, he would have no choice but to rush back by himself. Whether he would live or die, he could only leave it to fate.
As the sky turned bright, Zhou Quan set off. This time he hurried to Hetou Village without any cover-up or concealment.
When the village protection team members saw Zhou Quan coming again, they hurried to report to Chen Xiaobei.
After listening to the report of the village protection team members, Chen Xiaobei was even more surprised. He also realized something in an instant. If Zhou Quan comes back this time, the situation may be even worse.
Sure enough, Zhou Quan looked solemn after seeing Chen Xiaobei.
"Brother Xiaobei, I don't expect Miss Liu to show up this time. But after all, I am on errand for His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have to do what the Crown Prince orders."
As he spoke, Zhou Quan took out the emergency report he received last night and presented it to Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, look, this is the emergency report we just received. The situation is very unfavorable for our country, Da Cang. The hundreds of thousands of troops from the Great Earth Kingdom are only three hundred miles away from Wannian City, and the prince is resisting desperately."
After hearing Zhou Quan's words, Chen Xiaobei was still a little touched. He actually knew that if the Dacang Kingdom was really over, it was still a matter of debate whether he and Liu Rumei could end well.
Although I have judged this war, as long as Xiao Jingyun can hold on, the Great Earth Kingdom will be defeated, but the prerequisite is that it must hold on, and now it seems that this may be difficult.
But no matter what, Chen Xiaobei really didn't want Liu Rumei to go out again.
Just when he was hesitating, Zhou Quan stood up and said, "Brother Xiaobei, that's all I have to say. Please help convey it again. Even if Miss Liu refuses to come out, her help with an idea will be helpful to the prince. "
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei knew that Zhou Quan was really anxious. After all, the prince had been defeated in person, so how could the civil and military officials have any confidence.
Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to agree, "Brother Zhou, wait a moment. I'll call Rumei over and we'll discuss it in person."
After saying that, Chen Xiaobei invited Zhou Quan into the house to drink tea, while he went to find Liu Rumei.
Today Liu Rumei has put on new clothes to teach the villagers. After all, her pretending to be sick has been exposed, so there is no need to continue pretending.
Liu Rumei was attending class in the school. When she saw Chen Xiaobei appearing at the back door, she hurriedly taught the villagers two words and asked them to practice before walking out.
"Rumei, Zhou Quanan is here again, and he brought this."
As Chen Xiaobei spoke, he handed over the urgent report in his hand. After Liu Rumei read this, a trace of worry clearly flashed in his eyes. After all, he was the one who led the troops to fight. He naturally knew that there were only three miles away from Wannian City. What is the concept of Baili?
This is equivalent to the army approaching the city. Besides, there is no dangerous terrain within 300 miles of Wannian City, so it can only be carried by force.
"Rumei, Zhou Quan said, even if we don't go, we can help him come up with ideas and help His Royal Highness share his worries."
Liu Rumei frowned and thought for a long time, and finally she let out a slight breath.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements to go with you to meet Zhou Quan."
Liu Rumei went back to the classroom to make arrangements, and then followed Chen Xiaobei to see Zhou Quan.
When Zhou Quan saw Liu Rumei coming, his eye circles instantly turned red, and he spoke with a bit of sobs, "Miss Liu, I..."
Liu Rumei waved her hand, "Okay, I already know everything."
After speaking, Liu Rumei greeted Zhou Quan and sat down, "You have been here a few times. I haven't heard you explain in detail what the battle situation is ahead and why His Highness the Crown Prince has been repeatedly frustrated."
Zhou Quan let out a long sigh, "We fell into the trap of the Great Tu Kingdom. The Great Tu Kingdom has been causing trouble on the front line of Jizhou, making us think that they are going to invade from the vicinity of Jizhou, so His Highness the Crown Prince's focus is here."
"What we didn't expect was that as soon as Tian Wenhao sent the supplies to the front line of Jizhou, the Great Tu Kingdom suddenly launched an attack and invaded our Dacang Kingdom from the northwest. What's even more detestable is that the route they followed this time was the same as the last time they invaded. It is a route that invades our borders when the big neighboring countries are working together.”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei immediately understood one thing. The last time he was in the capital, he caught the spy Ding Laosan.
But this Ding Laosan was finally assassinated by several soldiers led by Luo Xi.
At that time, I still couldn't understand why Rossi took action to eradicate the root cause. But looking at it today, Chen Xiaobei somewhat figured it out.
Ding Laosan was obviously a chess piece, a choice made to confuse Dachang. Therefore, because of this chess piece, Chen Xiaobei made a mistake, and Xiao Jingyun also made a mistake.
Zhou Quan dipped his tea in the table and carefully explained the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and told Liu Rumei. After listening, Liu Rumei frowned and sighed one last time.
"The matter has come to this. Shou can't hold on at all. My father once created the Four Spirits Bagua Formation. With this formation, you can defeat the many with less, and the weak with the strong!"
"I can draw the formation and you can bring it to the prince."
"As long as we can deal with the Great Earth Kingdom for a while, they will naturally withdraw if they can't keep up with supplies!"
After hearing Liu Rumei's words, Zhou Quan was overjoyed and even had the urge to stand up and kowtow to him, "Thank you Miss Liu, Miss Liu is truly a blessing to the world!"
However, Liu Rumei looked solemn and shook her head, "You're welcome. I saw that our war situation was not going well, and I was also anxious."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei breathed a long sigh of relief. Liu Rumei wanted to draw a formation for Zhou Quan, which also showed that he had no intention of going to the front line.
At this time, Zhou Quan couldn't care so much. No matter how you put it, this was like a life-saving straw. He bowed to Liu Rumei again, "Thank you, Miss Liu."
Soon Xiao Qing had prepared pen and ink, and Liu Rumei explained the secrets of the changes in the formation to Zhou Quan in detail while drawing the formation, and wrote down the key parts with paper and pen for Zhou Quan. They were busy until almost noon. This Four Spirits Bagua Formation is finally finished.
While Liu Rumei packed up the information, she spoke again to warn Zhou Quan.
"You tell His Highness the Crown Prince to focus on defense and not to attack rashly."
