Chapter 291: Wind and Snow Traveling West
A few refreshing side dishes, as well as just the right roasted mutton, plus the steaming white and wide mutton noodle soup, such a breakfast is really satisfying, especially after five or six days of sleeping in the mountains and forests. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The inside of the inn was warm, and outside the inn there were thin snowflakes.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Qin Nuan only felt that his body and mind had been soothed, squinted his eyes comfortably, and asked, "Auntie, it's snowing, should we wait for the snow to stop before leaving?"
Li Yi shook his head: "I have to leave now!"
Qin Nuan was stunned, so anxious?
Yi Miao sighed: "Didn't you notice that there were too many people?"
Qin Nuan looked around, only then did she notice that there were quite a lot of people in the inn, she remembered that when she came a few days ago, the inn was very deserted, almost just one table of them, and on a snowy morning like this, most of the tables were full, not to mention, there were also guests staying in the hotel coming down from upstairs.
And these guests, men, women, and children, all looked like they were dragging their families, and their faces were sad and uneasy.
Qin Nuan suddenly thought of what he said in Kang Lushan in the mountains: Youzhou has rebelled, and he and Cai Xide will go straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital......
Looking at her abruptly changed expression, Yi Yi knew that she had thought of it, and nodded slightly: "Youzhou Jiedu made Lu Qi was killed by Tian Chenghe, the deputy envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, and Youzhou Governor Shi fled to Pinglu Jiedu with some soldiers who refused to join the rebels, and forced Tian Chengsi away with Pinglu Jiedu Envoy. Tian Chengsi led the army south from Youzhou, directly took four or five prefectures such as Yingzhou and Cangzhou, and made peace with Cai Xide in Qizhou, and now he is marching all the way to Luoyang on a big ship, all the way to Luoyang!"
Qin Nuan was surprised: "How can this be?
Yi Yi said: "Originally, a lot of troops were transferred from Hebei Province and Andong Prefecture to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, where are there so many people? There are still so many Khitans in the north to guard against! Fortunately, at this time, it is the end of the year, the snow is frozen, and the time for their plundering has passed, and they have all returned to their lair! Otherwise, the consequences are really difficult to say. ”
Li Yi continued: "Except for Anxi, Anbei Andong and Jiannan, there are a few officers and soldiers in other places who have seen blood, who will really fight with all their might?"
Qin Nuan looked at the old and young in this inn, felt sorry in his heart, looked at Li Yi and said, "These are all refugees?"
Li Yi said: "Those who can live in the inn are still from very good families! You will know when you get out of the inn! The prefectures and counties in the east and north of Henan Province along the river have all been captured by the rebels. The leader is not Cai Xide, but Shi Siming! Cai Xide, as a pioneer, is rushing on the way to Luoyang. ”
Qin Nuan took a breath, Shi Siming and An Lushan were regarded as the "double saints" under the seat of the "God of Light" by the Hu people under his command, who believed in Zoroastrianism, and this guy was not inferior to Kang Lushan in terms of courage and prestige.
"Why did he get here? Didn't he say he was in Qiantang Mansion before?"
Li Yi said: "These miscellaneous hus, what they miss is their hometown in Youzhou, and what they think about is the sword pointing at Chang'an! I am afraid that he is here to pick up the fat man Kang! It's just that they miscalculated." ”
Qin Nuan was silent, originally seeing that the situation was very good after Jinling was captured, she thought that this turmoil would come quickly and would go quickly, but she didn't expect it to be not so simple!
The "Anshi Rebellion" in history drove the emperor away and fled, and the war lasted for eight years, and the Tang Dynasty has never been at peace since then......
Sure enough, will it come or will come?
Ding Yin, who had left the table after breakfast first, came back, carrying a large bag of things.
Qin Nuan knew at a glance that it was dry food, dried meat and other things eaten on the road.
Walking out of the inn, Qin Nuan really saw that there were many refugees who had fled here on the street, and many of them were directly curled up under the eaves on the side of the street, shivering in the wind and snow...... Some people directly put their children on straw sticks and beg others to buy them, so that they can freeze to death and starve to death......
Qin Nuan lowered his head, not daring to look at those people, let alone those sluggish or crying children, nor daring to listen to those miserable voices, although he didn't look at them, there was still hot liquid flowing out of his eyes......
She looked at Li Yi's heels, and followed out of Liucheng, Li Yi pulled the hood with a big hood on her head under her forehead, and took a long and big cotton towel with the hood to wrap her face tightly along with her neck, only revealing a pair of eyes under the brim.
"Get on the horse, there are nearly a thousand miles to go!"
Qin Nuan asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Luoyang!"
Qin Nuan was taken aback, what are you doing in Luoyang? Help fight the rebels? Impossible! Li Yi would not do such a thing as a moth throwing fire.
These two or three people, no matter how powerful they are, are not even a drop of water in the sea when facing thousands of troops.
Seeing Qin Nuan's shocked appearance, Yi Yi said: "Don't worry, we will take a detour and will not encounter the rebels!"
As they spoke, several men had already jumped on their horses and headed west.
When she wasn't riding a horse, Qin Nuan still felt that she was dressed very thickly, with a thick fox fur, and no wind was permeable, however, as soon as the horse ran, she suddenly felt that her whole body was cold, and the wind didn't know where it got into her clothes, obviously she was wrapped so tightly, and the cold air was so cold that she felt that the snow particles had penetrated into her clothes.
In less than an hour, Qin Nuanjue's whole body was about to freeze, and when he thought of running like this for at least three days, he was afraid that his whole body would be covered with frostbite......
Just when she felt that she had become a piece of wood on horseback, several people stopped, Qin Nuan blinked vigorously and looked through the gap between the brim of the hat and the cotton towel, and found that this was a small post station.
Several people jumped off their horses, and Ding Yin led four horses into the post station, and then led four horses out.
After changing the well-fed and rested horses in the post station, the four of them jumped on the horse again, Li Yi looked at Qin Nuan's appearance, and said, "If you go in to rest and roast the fire, it will be even more uncomfortable later!
Qin Nuan couldn't speak, so he could only nod vigorously.
Yi Yi raised his hand and threw something over: "Xiao Nuan, continue!"
Qin Nuan raised his hand to catch it, and what fell into his hand was a small golden gourd, and it was heavy to start.
"If you can't stand the cold, take a sip!" said Yi Miao.
Qin Nuan immediately pulled out the lid and took a sip, she was so cold now that she couldn't stand it.
The entrance is spicy, with a medicinal taste, it is a medicinal wine.
The spicy liquor flowed down his throat, it was so hot and spicy that Qin Nuan didn't dare to take a second sip and stuffed the lid tightly.
Yi Yi suddenly laughed: "Silly girl, why do you take something and don't ask, and pour it directly into your mouth without looking at it? Even if you are frozen and stupid, it won't be like this!"
After that, he shook his head again: "How did you live so big?"
Qin Nuan was annoyed, didn't he believe you?
