Chapter 34: Discovery (1)
Such a thunderous method did make the border quiet for a few days, but everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
Qiu Yuanchen will definitely not just forget it!
The emperor's purpose is definitely not only this.
The news naturally reached Lin Qianqian's ears, and Lin Qianqian didn't say a word, but just accelerated the journey to the border, however, the further back they went, the slower their progress became.
There are too many people blocking them, and they don't know who those people are, but they can be seen that there are several groups of people, but they are all for one purpose, to prevent Lin Qianqian from going to the border.
The assassinations along the way, countless.
In the end, Lin Qianqian could only abandon the carriage and ride a horse with An Yue!
This is a great drain on Lin Qianqian's body!
"We are resting in the capital tonight, your body must be cultivated in a safe environment for a few days!"
Lin Qianqian thought for a moment when she heard this, and nodded, "We will arrive at the border in a few days, and we will pretend to be homeless people and walk over later, so that we can hide people's eyes and ears more!" ”
Hearing the walk, An Yue frowned and glanced at Lin Qianqian, "Rest first, and then talk about it!" ”
It's easy to enter the city, because An Yue and Lin Qianqian are now playing a husband and wife, without any flaws, and Lin Qianqian's belly is not big.
It's strange to say, it's the end of five months, and it can still be covered with loose clothes.
So the two are now a young couple who have just gotten married and come to see their relatives, talking and laughing along the way, and it is easy to enter the city.
found an inn, Lin Qianqian first freshened up, and then slept peacefully for a day, and An Yue was the same.
The two of them are well hidden, and they are not worried about being noticed at all.
But there was only this one day, and the next day, An Yue was completely on guard.
"We're very safe now, but what is unsafe is the two people who pretended to be us, and now I'm afraid they're dodging left and right, people must be protected!"
An Yue nodded, "We've received the news that they've arrived at the border!" After that, it's safe! ”
"Arrived at the border so soon?" Lin Qianqian frowned, "Didn't you say there are still a few days?" ”
"Someone opened the way for us, they arrived in two days, and the news has already arrived."
An Yue looked at Lin Qianqian, "Now that you have arrived at the border, do you want to contact Qiu Yuanchen?" ”
"No, contact the people of the Eastern Army first, and then talk about it then."
Lin Qianqian paused, "Is there any news from my uncle?" ”
"Nope!"
"How could such a big guy have no news at all?"
"Our people have been scouring around, and there is no news at all! But there is some news about your second brother, and your second brother is also rushing to the side
Border! ”
Lin Qianqian raised her eyebrows, "When is the news?" ”
"Just now, it's not completely sure if it's your second brother himself, so I've already asked people to investigate, once it's confirmed, it will be protected immediately, don't worry
Let's do it! ”
Lin Qianqian shook her head, "My second brother can go to the border, he is definitely prepared, make sure where my second brother is, I will go to see him!" ”
"Good!" An Yue nodded, "What's wrong with you?" Is the child okay? Is there any movement in the film? ”
"The space can be opened, but the little piece still hasn't moved."
An Yue frowned!
"It doesn't matter, the space can be opened, we can be regarded as having a secret weapon, if we want to open a little, we will rest for another day and leave tomorrow evening."
"Do you really want to walk to the border? Can you stand it? ”
"I want to hear what the border people think of the Dongfang family, and I want to hear their real voices!"
"But you!"
"If I can't stand it, I'll say it right away, don't worry, it's okay!"
An Yue glanced at Lin Qianqian, because of Lin Qianqian's stubbornness and dissatisfaction, but in the end she followed Lin Qianqian's wishes.
The two of them changed their clothes outside the city the next day, and sat on the side of the road in tattered beggar clothes, and it didn't take long for someone to come forward.
"Two little girls, why are you here?"
It was a lady who spoke, she looked dark-skinned, exposed to the wind and sun, and Lin Qianqian was completely different from Lin Qianqian with makeup!
"Auntie, we were separated from our parents, and we have been waiting here for several days, but we haven't waited for anyone, and we don't know what to do!" As she spoke, Lin Qianqian began to cry.
When the eldest mother heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Where did your parents go?" ”
They said that they were going to Hecheng to ask for food, so let the two sisters wait at the gate of this city!
As soon as she heard about Hecheng, the eldest lady frowned, "Why did you go to Hecheng?" You're outsiders, aren't you? ”
"Yes, we were originally from the south, but our family was in trouble, so we came out to ask for food to make a living, and people said that the people of Hecheng were rich, so we came!"
"You stupid boy, Hecheng is a border city, how rich can you be, you want to go, you should also go to the edge of the capital, what are you doing here?"
The eldest lady is also a kind person, "If you want to say that the former Hecheng City, not to mention wealth, it is also to live and work in peace and contentment, although it is said to be the border, wars occur from time to time, but as long as the Eastern Army is there, the people never worry about anything?" Didn't that Ryukong only dare to test outside the border for so many years? ”
"It's all because of the Eastern Army!"
"And now?" Lin Qianqian immediately asked.
The eldest lady sighed, "Now I don't know what the emperor thinks, he actually said that the Eastern Army was treasonous?" I just arrested the old general of the East, and now the people of the Eastern Army are in chaos, and the city is also in chaos! ”
"The old general of the East? How old are you? ”
"It's not a matter of age, the old man is a leader, with him, the soul of the Eastern Army is there, the backbone is there, the old general has retired for so many years, but there is a war general first, and then there is General Bo, all of them are well governed by the Eastern Army and disciplined!"
"Now that the Dongfang Army is suddenly said to be treasonous, all of us know that this is the emperor Lao'er deliberately looking for trouble, but his arms can't twist his thighs, and the Dongfang family has gone down, and it is the people who suffer!"
Lin Qianqian, "You don't believe it, will the Dongfang family be treasonous?" ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she glanced at Lin Qianqian reproachfully.
"Treason what? How many years have passed, and if there is no Dongfang family to guard it, how many times has our border fallen? Do you need to wait until the old man is too old to walk? What did you do earlier? ”
"Perhaps, it is his descendants who are unwilling and want a bigger ......"
The eldest lady's eyes widened, "What nonsense are you talking about, whether it is General Zhan or General Bo, they are all dedicated to the people, and when they are there, the soldiers will not take the people with a stitch and a thread." ”
"At that time, the city of Hecheng, as well as several border cities around it, was very prosperous, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, you look at how long it has been, you look at the displaced people in front?"
"What has happened to us since our border is no longer under the control of the Dongfang family, but if there is a little way, can we still come out and ask for food?"
This is true, but no one will choose to ask for food if it is the apex method!
Now these people are living like this, but they don't have the slightest intention of blaming the Dongfang family in their hearts, and they all completely believe in the Dongfang family in their hearts.
This somewhat warmed Lin Qianqian's cold heart!
"So little girl, don't listen to what the people outside say, no one knows the Dongfang family better than those of us who grew up on the border."
"Since my father's generation, the people of the Oriental family began to guard the border, and our life has been better since then, you look at the current border, once upon a time here was a desert, there was nothing! It was all built little by little by the Eastern Army, and it took us people with it. ”
"There is the Dongfang Army, although we are not rich, but we have always lived and worked in peace and contentment, how long has it been since the Dongfang family handed over the military power, has it been ten years? The reason why our days have gone through this way is that the military tax, taxes, and all kinds of taxes have increased, and we really have no choice but to choose to ask for food. ”
When the eldest lady spoke, her eyes were red.
"We people originally planned to go all the way to the capital, to beg the officials there, to beg those who are capable, let them help us, let the people of the Dongfang family come back, we are really inseparable from the Dongfang family here!"
"Why haven't I heard of military taxes or taxes? What's going on? ”
The eldest lady glanced at Lin Qianqian, "Don't you know this?" It's not that there is too little oil and water at the border, and these officials are not satisfied one by one, so isn't this trying to find a way to make money? Do you think everyone is an Oriental? ”
"But I heard that the Dongfang family in the capital is very rich, and the emperor has rewarded a lot of things!"
"The things that the emperor rewarded, the Dongfang family gave them to the border, and they were all used to exchange for a stable life on this side of the border, and the rest was earned by the eldest lady herself, and people earned it for her own family, so what's not to do?"
Lin Qianqian, "Do you understand the Dongfang family so well?" ”
"I don't know what younger people think, but at our age, or even older, but seeing our border desert, from nothing, to the current appearance, this is all the credit of the Oriental family."
"When the old man was at the border, he ate bran with our people!"
At this time, Lin Qianqian said that it would definitely be impossible not to be moved in her heart.
Originally, all the way, the anger in his anger has now been completely extinguished, and even Lin Qianqian herself was surprised.
"I also think that the Dongfang family is a good person, but along the way, I have heard a lot of bad things about the Dongfang family, saying that the Dongfang family collaborated with the enemy and treason, saying that they fooled the people, and even heard that in the capital, the Dongfang family has been convicted, and the people in the house have been exiled!"
Lin Qianqian knew that these words should not be said, but Lin Qianqian was really uncomfortable in her heart, and every word of this lady was what she needed most now.
"If anyone can fool the people like the Dongfangjia, then it will be done, just come! Who can do it? ”
"The people of the Dongfang family, if they know that there is such support from you, they will definitely feel comforted."
"We are all rough people, but we speak with our conscience, the Dongfang family has done everything we can do, and we have done our best, and now we are just being villained, we always believe that there are gods in the head, and whoever does what, the heavens will see it one by one."
The eldest lady said that she looked at Lin Qianqian here, a little embarrassed, "Really, look at me, I said this unconsciously, don't bother, I'm just here to ask you, if you can't wait for the adults in the family, do you want to go with us?" ”
"Let's go?"
"Don't look at us as homeless, we have a care to go together, otherwise you two little girls, it's really not safe, you don't know, the border is very chaotic now, we can't go out, if we can, we have already gone out!"
As soon as Lin Qianqian heard this, she immediately asked, "Why can't you go out?" ”
"Oh, then you must not have met, now our border is allowed to enter but not to leave, otherwise we would have gone to Beijing a long time ago?"
As soon as the eldest lady said this, Lin Qianqian instantly understood, she said why it was so easy to enter this border! It turned out that it was allowed to enter but not to leave!
What are the people inside trying to do?
"We have no choice but to wander around the border, barely begging for food, you just join us, otherwise it will be really unsafe to be alone."
I know what I should know, and I listen to what I want to hear, Lin Qianqian will not be with this eldest lady, otherwise if they are discovered, they will not be safe.
"Thank you, Auntie, you have to go there, we want to wait here a little longer, wait for a long time, if you can't wait, let's go and meet Auntie, okay?"
