Hearing that Jamel Xiao was coming, Chen Xiaobei quickly came out to greet him.
After meeting, Chen Xiaobei wanted to salute, but Jamel Xiao directly held his arm, "Hey, brother, do you and I still need to be so polite?"
This frightened the innkeeper next to him. At first he thought it was strange that a man and two women came to stay at the inn.
But why does this woman live together and this man is alone in the house?
The prince came to visit today and even called this man brother and sister. It turned out that this was Liu Rumei's uncle Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei took it for granted that there was news about Liu Rumei, and was very excited. Before letting the prince into the room, he asked: "Your Highness, is there news about Rumei?"
Xiao Jingyun shook his head, entered the room and sat down, then got straight to the point, "Brother Xiaobei, I'm really sorry. I sent a lot of people out to inquire, but no news about Rumei was found, and there was also news from the Great Tu Kingdom. There is movement, the other party is conducting a large-scale search, and many of our people have been arrested."
"But don't worry, even if Rumei unfortunately falls into their hands, I will have channels to get the news quickly, and I will do my best to rescue her when the time comes."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei was silent for a while.
Trying our best to rescue can only be said to be an all-out effort, but no one dares to say what the result will be.
Moreover, given the poor nature of the Great Earth Kingdom, if Liu Rumei was really captured, he would probably not hand him over easily unless he had something in his hand that he could exchange with them.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei and remaining silent, Xiao Jamyun continued, "Brother, I have a big happy event to tell you today."
Chen Xiaowei looked at Xiao Jingyun's thoughts in surprise, "Without Liu Rumei, how can I have any happy events here?"
But on the surface, Chen Xiaobei had to remain calm, "I wonder what the happy event His Royal Highness is talking about?"
"Brother Xiaobei, when the Great Tu Kingdom's troops came to the city a few days ago, my father once issued a decree that Jingfeng should be married to whoever can relieve the Great Tu Kingdom's military troubles!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, probably because he remembered such a thing.
"I remember this matter, why did His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly mention this?"
"Hey, Brother Xiaobei, have you forgotten that you contributed the most to defeating the Great Earth Kingdom?"
Chen Xiaobei was a little confused when he heard this, "Where do I get the credit?"
"I have heard about it a long time ago. It was you who proposed the plan to my father, led the team to attack Qingguang City, and solved the urgent need of Wannian City. You also offered Qifang to save my king. Isn't this a great contribution? ?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei understood that everything else didn't matter. Just saving Xiao Jingyun, in many historical books he read, this was considered a rescue, which was a huge contribution.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized that Prince Xiao Jingyun was going to betroth the princess to him. Thinking of this, he tentatively asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Yes, what I mean is that since you have made the greatest contribution, my father will marry my little sister to you. From now on, you will be the consort of Dacang Kingdom."
After hearing this, Chen Xiao himself was speechless for a while.
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, Your Highness. I am already married. If I marry a princess again, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"No, no, my father didn't say at that time that a person who has already been married cannot marry a princess, so whoever makes the most of the princess will marry him."
Chen Xiaobei's brain started to work like lightning. He was still worried about Liu Rumei. It was absolutely impossible for him to marry the princess.
The last time he married Liu Rumei, he had gone against his will. Now Huang Ying had only been away for a few months. In a few months, he had married two wives, one was the daughter of a marquis and the other was a princess. What did the Lotus Master and Shen Ziyan do? Look at yourself. Even if Huang Ying knew better, she probably wouldn't forgive herself.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei waved his hand again, "No, no, no, your Highness, this is really not possible. You also know my situation. There is a main wife in Hetou Village, Liu Rumei is missing, and there is a dead Huang Ying. Your Highness, If you let me marry a princess again, how will the world look at me?"
Xiao Jingyun laughed loudly, "Brother Xiaobei, you are overthinking. I will order people to post notices everywhere to promote your achievements. By then it will be too late for them to envy you. Who dares to criticize me and take his life."
Upon hearing Xiao Jingyun's words, Xiaobei knew that this was another deal that had to be rushed to the shelves. If he didn't agree, he might not be able to get through the matter today. After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea.
"Your Highness, marrying a princess is a major event for the Dacang Kingdom. We must not be so hasty. Moreover, Rumei has not returned to the Northern Kingdom, and the assassins of the Datu Kingdom in Wannian City have not been caught. In such a situation, I really shouldn’t talk about this matter.”
"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The assassins from the Earth Kingdom have not shown up for many days. I think they have probably run away."
"Your Highness, you cannot be careless. As the saying goes, you will lose Jingzhou if you are careless."
"What..." Xiao Jamyun was a little confused.
Chen Xiaobei came to his senses in an instant, yes, he was in a parallel world, and they didn't understand the allusion to Jingzhou due to carelessness.
Thinking of this, he quickly changed his words, "Ah, Your Highness, I mean, don't be careless. It would be bad if someone took advantage of the loophole. Just like now, if everyone is busy with the boss's marriage, what if If a large number of thieves from the Earth Kingdom take advantage of the situation, we will lose more than we gain."
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Prince Xiao Jingyun also fell silent. Thinking carefully about it, Chen Xiaobei was right, even though he kept saying that the assassins from the Great Earth Kingdom had withdrawn.
But, are they withdrawing or not?
Then who knows.
When he thought of this, he sighed slightly, "These assassins are really hateful. If I catch them, I will cut them into pieces."
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he was secretly happy. It was so easy to divert his attention. Now that Prince Xiao Jingyun's mind has turned to catching the assassin, it would be easy to handle.
"Your Highness, I have an idea to catch the assassin and solve the crisis in Wannian City."
Jamel Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Oh, tell me about it."
Seeing Xiao Jingyun taking the bait, Chen Xiaobei hurriedly continued, "Your Highness, the Great Earth Kingdom was repulsed and I won a complete victory. However, the Emperor has not issued a decree to reward everyone, let alone any celebrations. I don't think it's better than this. , you can order someone to pass down the emperor’s decree, and for three days of celebration, a banquet will be held in the Qinzheng Hall of the palace.”
"The assassins will naturally not let go of such a grand banquet. All you need to do is arrange the manpower secretly to catch them all at once."
After hearing this, Xiao Jamyun nodded in approval. I have to say that Chen Xiaobei's idea was a good one. Taking the initiative is much more proactive than sitting at home and waiting for him to assassinate him every day.
Of course, if the assassins did not act at this grand banquet, it would prove that they had left.
