Before this, the crown princess didn't want to ask Qiu Yue where she was going to take her, as long as she could be with Qiu Yue, she would be satisfied. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't ask last time, but Qiuyue brought her here, and this was originally the place where they were coming, and it was to complete the task assigned by the prince, so this time the princess wanted to ask what was going on, and she had a good idea in her heart.

Qiu Yue thought about it and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard the excited voice of the Khitan outside: "I said that girl, you always urged me, and now my partner has finally come back and rushed to the city in time for dark." I brought him with me just for dinner. - Okay, I'll bring him, but I'll give him money. ”

Qiu Yue and the two couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard it, and quickly pulled the door out, and saw the Khitan man with a Han man standing outside the door. He quickly let them in and sat down, poured tea, and asked the Han people where they had seen the poem.

The Han people had obviously heard what happened from the Khitans, and immediately said: "I saw this poem on the wall of a restaurant in Youzhou. It was someone else who wrote it on it. The shopkeeper also felt that the poem was well written, so he didn't erase it and kept it. I liked it a lot, so I memorized it. ”

Youzhou is the boundary of the Khitan.

Qiu Yue subconsciously turned her head to look at Qiu Yue, and saw the helplessness in Qiu Yue's eyes. She smiled apologetically and asked the Han merchant, "What kind of restaurant is it?"

"It's called Yanshan Restaurant. Right next to the Sangan River. Just ask. ”

Qiu Yue was very happy, and asked, "Do you know who wrote this poem?"

"I don't know, I asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said that it was written by a woman, and not long ago, I saw that the handwriting was also very new. ”

"Does the shopkeeper know where the woman went?"

"I didn't ask about this, I'll go back to Youzhou to help you ask tomorrow. ”

"Thanks, no need. Qiu Yue thanked him, took out two ingots of silver, thanked the Khitan and the Han merchant respectively, and sent the two away.

After they left, they closed the door, and before Qiu Yue could speak, the crown princess had already sighed and said, "Since we know the whereabouts of Princess Wende, let's go to Youzhou tomorrow and bring her back." ”

Although the Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty fought several times for the Northern Han Dynasty, they were all fought and made peace, and the time of peace was much longer than the war, the two sides did not really break off diplomatic relations, and the border people still traded freely, so it was not difficult to enter Youzhou.

Qiu Yue didn't expect her to take the initiative, held her hand, and said softly, "Okay......"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from afar, and soon there was a chaotic sound all over the city, and I don't know what was going on.

Qiu Yue's ears are keen, and when she listens carefully, it seems that the sound of war drums comes from far outside the city, mixed with the sound of trumpets.

The crown princess was suddenly frightened, and couldn't help but throw herself into Qiu Yue's arms, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Yue patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask." ”

"Don't go! It's too dangerous outside, don't!"

"I'll just take a look at the gate of the yard,"

"Then I'll go with you. ”

The crown princess refused to leave at this time, Qiu Yue was afraid of any danger under this turmoil.

Qiu Yue nodded, took his hand and walked out of the door quickly, suddenly remembered something, and said to the crown princess: "You wait for me, I will go back and hide the bag of gold and silver you brought, so as not to be robbed and stolen by others." ”

These days, when Qiu Yue went out, it was the crown princess who guarded the bag of gold and silver jewelry, which was all their belongings, so they never left their bodies, just now the incident happened suddenly, and in fright, they forgot about this bag of treasures, and nodded quickly when they heard Qiu Yue say this.

Qiu Yue quickly turned around and went to the back room, picked up the bag of gold and silver treasures placed under the pillow, and threw it directly into her storage bag. Then, he walked out quickly, closed the door, grabbed the crown princess's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I've hidden it, no one can find it, let's go and see what's going on?"

The two rushed downstairs, and saw that the corridor was full of guests, and asked each other in horror what was going on, but no one knew, and they rushed all the way to the courtyard, where there were several fellows, looking into the distance in horror.

Qiu Yue looked up and looked forward, and was suddenly startled, only to see the fire outside the city, reflecting half of the night sky.

Outside the inn, a steady stream of soldiers lined up in a neat line, armed with swords, ran quickly past the inn and headed towards the castle tower.

Qiu Yue saw that their military faces were neat, and there was no panic before this sudden incident. I can't help but secretly admire that the general who leads the army is definitely a great figure.

At this time, a guy ran in from outside the inn in a panic, and the other guys hurriedly caught up with him and asked him what was going on, it turned out that this guy ran to inquire about the news, took a breath, and said to the people in the courtyard: "Oh no, the army of the Great Song Dynasty has surrounded Jinyang City, is attacking, and shot a lot of rockets, fortunately, all the houses on the side of the city wall were ordered to be demolished by the general, and the rockets fell on the stones on the ground, and there were no houses."

When the crown princess heard this, she was even more frightened, her face turned pale, and she turned her head to look at Qiu Yue: "What should I do?"

Qiu Yue was really dumbfounded, several homeless people who asked before said that the Great Song army was still three hundred miles away from here, why did they attack the city so quickly now, looking at Jinyang City surrounded by torches in all directions, lighting up the night sky, it was obviously not something that the light cavalry could do, it should be that the officers and soldiers of the brigade had surrounded Jinyang City.

It seems that the news he got was wrong, maybe it happened that the Great Song army encountered by those people was three hundred miles away, and the Great Song army in the direction that he didn't ask had quickly penetrated under Jinyang City and surrounded the entire Jinyang City.

It seems that he still miscalculated, Qiu Yue couldn't help but stomp her foot and said, "It's all my fault, if we left today, we wouldn't have encountered this incident." ”

"If you leave today, you won't know the whereabouts of Princess Wende. Seeing that Qiuyue regretted it, the crown princess hurriedly comforted her, "Besides, you can't be blamed for this, no one expected it, and besides, didn't you say that the Great Song army would send troops after the imperial examination was held in March? Why did it send troops in the first month?"

Qiu Yue said hatefully: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, they spread the news that the troops were only sent in March, and they suddenly advanced in advance, and they were caught off guard by the Northern Han." The Great Song army was advancing very slowly, and the purpose was to drive these old, weak, sick and young people of the Northern Han Dynasty to Jinyang City in order to consume the military rations of Jinyang City. However, the main army took advantage of the situation to go straight to Jinyang City, besieged the city, I got the wrong news, but I didn't expect to trap us in the city, let's hurry to see if it is possible to get out of the city. ”

But they had to hire a car, and the whole street was under martial law by the army, and the residents were not allowed to come out at will, so as not to hinder the rapid movement of the army. Except for the army's horse-drawn wagons, all other vehicles are closed to traffic. Therefore, they could not find a carriage to go anywhere else, and depending on the situation, they could only stay in the courtyard of the inn, and look nervously at the red flames outside the city wall and the faint sound of shouting and killing, as well as the sound of war drums and trumpets one after another.

Qiu Yue immediately pulled the crown princess and hurriedly ran back to the room, closed the door, and said to the crown princess: "You stay here, I have to go out in a hurry." Rest assured, I'll be back soon. ”

"Where are you going? Don't go, okay? I'll go tomorrow. ”

"Things are important, I have to go. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone, since I brought you out, I will definitely stay by your side, and I won't leave you wherever I go. “

Hearing Qiu Yue say this, the crown princess relieved her heart and let go of her hand, he knew that Qiu Yue must have something to do.

What Qiu Yue is going to do is to go and find some food to come back.

These days, at least two or three hundred thousand displaced people have poured into Jinyang City, plus hundreds of thousands of people in the city itself, and the Northern Han army has stored grain, and I don't know if it can supply so many people.

If this battle continues, it will definitely sit on empty feet, and the army will strictly control the grain. It is necessary to prepare some food in advance, just in case.

Qiu Yue said: "You just need to stay here, unless you hear my voice, don't answer anyone else's voice, don't speak, don't light the lamp,"

After that, Qiu Yue took out a lime spray canister from her sleeve cage, which was given to her by Feiyue at the beginning, tied under her arm, and with a press of the mechanism, she could spray out a lime powder, which was eye-catching. Tie the crown princess under her left arm and teach her how to use it.

The crown princess performed it once, and she mastered the essentials.

When she saw that this thing could squirt out, she was caught off guard, and she would definitely be able to fascinate the other party's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. However, if the other party is not a great traitor, or has a real threat to himself, he must not use it easily, so as not to accidentally hurt a good person.

With this lime spray canister for weapon protection for the crown princess, Qiu Yue was also a little relieved. I changed into a night suit and went down the window to the backyard, then easily went to the roof and leaped forward on the roof.

These days, she has almost turned the streets and alleys of Jinyang City, so she knows that there is a rice store closest to her, and her goal is this.

She easily climbed over the wall and entered the warehouse of the rice shop, where the grain was piled up like a hill. Qiu Yue immediately threw more than ten bags of grain directly into his storage bag.

Although the storage bag has a relatively large space, it has been filled with surgical instruments, commonly used medicinal materials, etc., which has taken up half of the space, and now after more than ten bags of food, it will take up nearly half of the space.

And these more than ten bags of grain are enough for the two of them to eat at least one or two years.

The siege was due to the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Song Dynasty, and she didn't want to take the crown princess to risk breaking through, so it was better to stay in Jinyang City, which was much safer than risking a breakthrough. As long as the food is well prepared, it is no problem.

She took a few ingots of silver and put them in the granary where she took the grain herself, and the silver was more than enough to buy the dozen bags of grain at the present price. She wasn't short of money right now, so she didn't need to steal at all. It's just that she doesn't want others to know that she has food in hiding, so she won't buy it openly.
