Qiu Yue hurriedly stabilized her mind and said, "Sure enough, the response is wonderful, but I don't know if it was written by Your Excellency or obtained it from others? No matter what, as long as Your Excellency tells you the truth, we will be grateful!"

Qiu Yue explained this, of course, to prevent the other party from deliberately impersonating for other purposes, then it would not achieve the goal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the Khitans heard that there was a reward, they couldn't help but be happy and said, "I heard it." I'm a peddler and don't know poetry. I often traveled back and forth between the Khitan, the Northern Han, and the Song Dynasty to pour horses and tea, and I heard this poem from one of my fellow peddlers. As for where she heard it, I don't know. ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly asked again, "Where is your companion, can you take us to him and thank him together?"

"It's a bit difficult, he's not in Jinyang City. ”

"Where have you been, and when are you coming back?"

"I've been going to sell tea in the Great Song Dynasty for many days, and I don't know exactly where to collect tea, but I'm going to come back in the next few days. Because we have already made an appointment, everyone will return to Khitan together after gathering, so we should be able to come back soon, no more than ten days and half a month at most. ”

"Did he say how he got the poem?"

He didn't say it, I just listened to him hum these words, and my ears became calloused, so I remembered it. He seems to be very impressed by this poem, and every time he recites this poem, he shakes his head, seeing that he is just a peddler, and he wants to learn how to pretend to be elegant, which is really sour, but just by his words, I have earned this ingot, and it is still very cost-effective, hehehe! - By the way, you said, I told the truth, you still have to give money, does this count?"

Qiu Yue took out a small ingot of silver and handed it to him, and said, "Of course it counts, this uncle, where do you live? Can your friend bring him to us immediately after he returns? We will definitely thank you." ”

"I live in the mule and horse market in the northern city, which is often occupied by traders and pawns, mainly because it is convenient to keep horses in captivity. Because you have to drive the horses back and forth, and the number is relatively large, if you live in other inns, the horses are not easy to take care of. ”

When there was no war between the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan, the border trade was still very prosperous, and one of the passages was to pass through the Jinyang City of the Northern Han Dynasty, transport the horses, cattle and mutton of the Khitan to the Great Song Dynasty, and then transport silk, tea and other daily necessities back from the Great Song Dynasty. A big bazaar is the Jinyang City Mule and Horse Market.

Qiu Yue had already searched all over Jinyang City, of course she knew its location, and it was not too far from the inn, so she asked the name of the Khitan people, and then sent him away.

Seeing the news, Qiu Yue was extremely excited and walked around the house happily, but the crown princess bit her red lip and looked at him.

Qiu Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that the crown princess didn't look too happy on her face, and said, "Aren't you happy to get the news of Princess Wende?"

The crown princess smiled astringently and said, "No......"

Qiu Yue groaned slightly, and she had already thought of what she was thinking, went over and hugged her waist, put her forehead on her forehead, looked at her beautiful Danfeng eyes, and said, "I know, you want to leave with me as soon as possible, but now that we have news from her, we have to wait a little longer, so, you are a little disappointed in your heart, yes or no?"

The crown princess heard Qiu Yue guess her thoughts, leaned on his shoulder and said: "Yes, I don't know why, I'm always frightened, as if something is going to happen, I just want to get out of here early, I have been counting the stars and the moon for the past ten days, looking forward to the sun rising, begging for the sun to set." Finally waited until the ten days came, but I didn't expect it to be delayed again, it's just that you are for the princess's business, not your own private matter, I, who is a sister-in-law, should be more anxious than you, but ......"

Qiu Yue held her face with her hand, rubbed it and said: "Okay, I know, in fact, I'm also very anxious, otherwise, didn't he just say that his companion would come back in ten days and half a month, then we will wait for another half a month, if his partner hasn't come in half a month, we won't wait for a moment, and it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, and leave Taiyuan City immediately." What do you think?"

The crown princess raised her hands and covered her warm palms holding her face, always feeling that she was so sure-footed, so she closed her eyes, nodded vigorously, and then leaned into her arms.

Starting the next day, Qiuyue had to go to Luoma City every day to find the Khitan people to ask him if his partner had returned, sometimes people were not there, sometimes they could meet, but after inquiring, there was no news of that partner, and he had not yet waited for anyone.

On this day, Qiu Yue had just returned from the Luoma Market to inquire about the news, and on the road she saw countless victims helping the old and the young walking on the street, and some were sitting on the ground on the side of the street, their eyes were confused.

In the past few days in Jinyang City, they have also seen a lot of homeless people in the city, but they have never seen so many. As he walked forward, he saw a large number of homeless people pouring in from all directions to the city gates, but most of them were old, weak, sick, and young.

Qiu Yue couldn't help but move in her heart, and quickly stopped an old man and said, "Uncle, where did you come from? Why are there so many people?"

"We were originally going to flee to the Great Song Dynasty, but when we arrived at the Great Song border, there were soldiers everywhere, and they didn't let us pass, so we detained all the young and strong men as people's husbands, and drove the rest of us back. Then, the Great Song army followed, and there were Great Song troops in all directions. ”

Qiu Yue was taken aback, and thought to herself, didn't the Great Song army have to wait until March to launch an attack? Why do you do it now?

Along the way, he asked a few more people, and learned that they were all Northern Han refugees who had been driven back by the Great Song army from different places. The Great Song army did not seem to want these victims to escape, forcing them to go to Jinyang City. And told them that Jinyang has a lot of food, and only Jinyang has food.

Hearing this news, Qiu Yue couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, could it be that the army of the Great Song Dynasty wanted to force these old, weak, sick and remnant people to Taiyuan City to eat up the food of the Taiyuan defenders, so that Taiyuan City would not be attacked?

She immediately hired a carriage, and the whole city went around, and found that the whole city was full of refugees, and there were refugees pouring in at the four city gates.

Therefore, tens of thousands of people poured into Jinyang City in one day, and there was a steady stream of displaced people who were brought in.

Qiu Yue returned to the inn, and the crown princess also saw from the window that the street was full of homeless people, and quickly asked her what happened.

In order not to worry her, Qiu Yue just shook her head and said, "I don't know what's wrong, maybe there was a big natural disaster in that place, and they all came out to escape the famine!"

The crown princess had heard of people fleeing the famine due to natural and man-made disasters, but she had never seen such a tide of victims pouring into the city.

After Qiu Yue knew that the Great Song had begun to attack, she was even more nervous. He had to go to the mule market two or three times a day to see if his buddy had returned. While inquiring about the whereabouts of Princess Wenxin, he wanted to leave Jinyang City before the Great Song army besieged the city.

However, from the mouths of the displaced people who fled the famine, she heard that the speed of the advance of the Great Song army was not fast, and it was still hundreds of miles away from Jinyang City, so she was not very nervous. At this time, ten days had passed since the ten days and half a month that the Khitan people had said, and the city was full of homeless people.

All rice shops received strict orders from the army not to raise prices, and those who hoarded them were beheaded, and they were not allowed to sell rice, otherwise they would also be punished.

After this decree was issued, the food supply was sufficient, and most of these displaced people who went to the city were dragged with their families and brought a lot of money, so they still had money to buy food, and the overall situation was stable.

The Northern Han army set up several points in various places in the city to recruit soldiers, but all young and strong soldiers who are willing to join the army can sign up to join the army to eat food, it seems that the Northern Han is ready to compete with the army of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that almost all of the people who were conscripted into the army were young adults in the city, because those who were read into the city were basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and they needed to consume food but had no combat effectiveness, which became a heavy burden for the Northern Han Dynasty. But the defenders did not allow them to enter the city.

When he heard that the Song Dynasty army was still three hundred miles away from Jinyang City, there were still two days before the fifteen days that the Khitan people said. Akizuki decides to leave and can't wait any longer. The speed of the army's advance in two days, if it is cavalry, it is completely possible to attack the city, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Therefore, that night, Qiu Yue reluctantly said to the crown princess: "We will leave tomorrow morning." ”

The crown princess was already hanging in her heart, and she was looking forward to the time to pass quickly, but it was not easy to urge. In the end, Qiu Yue is helping her. Now Qiu Yue took the initiative to say that she was leaving, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, reached over to hold her hand, and said softly: "You have done enough for Princess Wende, if she knows, she will be grateful." The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, she has been a strong and alert person since she was a child, and there should be no danger. Plus, what she's going to do isn't something we're willing to get involved in, so let her go!"

Qiu Yue nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, although the Khitan companion got this poem, it should be from Princess Wende, but even if he finds his companion, it is unknown whether he can find Princess Wende's whereabouts based on this." Besides, it is not a way for us to wait to the death like this, and besides, I have a feeling that she should not be in Jinyang City, otherwise, with her status, as long as she appears in Jinyang City, how can there be no rumors at all? Besides, when she came to Jinyang City, the generals who plotted against the Song Dynasty came over, it was a good thing to boost morale, and there was no need to hide it, since there was no news about this, they might not have come here at all. ”

The crown princess suddenly became nervous again, and hurriedly said, "Then, are you still planning to look for her?"

Qiu Yue shook her head and said, "The world is so big, how do we know where she went? That's it, just like you said, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, since God won't let me find her, I will go back and have a statement to Wen Xin, so as not to feel guilty, that is, the Great Song Dynasty army will soon be under the city of Jinyang, and a fierce battle is in front of us, we can't wade into this troubled water, let's leave early tomorrow morning. ”

When the crown princess heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Where are you going to take me?"
