Chapter 496: The most chaotic when the city was broken
Seeing Chunyu making fun of herself, Qiao Mingyue snorted, "It seems that it's time to find an official media for you to talk about your family, lest you think about Chun here and talk nonsense!" ”
Chunyu was most afraid that Qiao Mingyue would marry her, and when she heard this, she suddenly wilted, and said with her head slumped and said that what she said was the truth, and Ye Yichen was indeed as she said.
Qiao Mingyue listened to her words in her ears, but she didn't continue to delve into it, how Ye Yichen was, it didn't matter much to her, and she didn't want to be amorous.
Now that Qi Jingyun's affairs don't know what to do, where does she still have the mind to think about Ye Yichen's mind?
She took out a map from the hidden compartment of the carriage, which was the map of the Northland that she had people to find, as well as the topographical map of the area around where Tuoba Gong was trapped.
Qiao Mingyue frowned and watched, Tuoba Gong is now trapped in Linqi, the terrain around Linqi is flat, so that Linqi City is surrounded on all sides, Qi Jingyun wants to save Tuoba Gong, he must break through from one side to be able to meet Tuoba Gong's people!
Looking at the map, Qiao Mingyue's eyes were deep, and after a long time, she smiled clearly, and her slender fingers lightly tapped a map, "Here!" The prince must have expected to break through from here and from the Tuoba Gong in the city. ”
Chunyu was a little puzzled, Qiao Mingyue smiled and said: "There are trees here as a cover, if those who rebel are not ordinary people but local troops, the prince will definitely not choose this road, because he can think of these trees as a cover to advance, and the enemy can also think of it."
After a slight pause, Qiao Mingyue continued: "It's just that now we are facing a group of people who are rioting in an orderly manner, even if some of them think of this possibility, it is impossible for everyone to agree with his idea, so it is difficult to organize an effective defense!"
And the most important thing is that these people are like a plate of loose sand, although they are really powerful when they kill red eyes, but when they are really fighting to the death, they are still the most important thing is self-preservation.
will rebel, but also because there is no food and no water, has reached the edge of despair, will make such a choice, in the final analysis, or for survival, some people who are so desperate for survival, seeing a large amount of money and food in front of them, how can they be willing to die and cheapen others?
Qiao Mingyue thought it thoroughly, so she decided on the route.
Chunyu listened to Qiao Mingyue's explanation, nodded hurriedly, and said to the coachman to change the route.
The carriage went all the way to the north, the further it went, the more it left the vicinity of the capital, the more desolate it became, the further north it went, the more arid it became, and only a few crops were still alive in the vast expanse of land, facing some dry winds, growing tenaciously.
Passing by a tea shop, the coachman stopped the carriage, the three got out of the car and sat down, by the way to eat something, the tea shop was an old man and a young two, the old one looked more than sixty years old, the young, it was the appearance of fourteen or fifteen, a face was slightly immature.
The old man served tea and brought a few plates of snacks up, Qiao Mingyue called the old man and asked how the situation was here, the old man shook his head, only said that last year's harvest was not good, and this year looks like this, I am afraid that there will be no harvest, the surplus grain in the people's homes has already been eaten, if the autumn harvest is not harvested, the winter will really not be able to survive.
The old man said with a sad face, Qiao Mingyue comforted the old man twice, the old man looked at the three of them hesitantly, and said hesitantly: "This son, the road ahead is desolate and difficult to walk, if you don't have something important, don't go."
Hearing this, Qiao Mingyue carefully asked the old man why he said this, and the old man sighed before he spoke slowly.
It turns out that they are already good here, at least there is a mouthful of food, and further on, not to mention food, not even a mouthful of water can be seen, there are disaster victims everywhere, starvation is all over the ground, and there are some people who can't survive who fall into the grass and rob the passers-by, and the north has become a place where no one governs.
The old man thought that Qiao Mingyue was a businessman, so he kindly reminded them not to go any further, Qiao Mingyue thanked the old man for his kindness, and left an extra ingot of silver when he left, the old man originally did not accept it, but Qiao Mingyue was resolute, and the old man reluctantly accepted it.
He carefully put the silver into his arms, and said: "Little boy, the road ahead is difficult to walk, and the son and the others must not show their wealth, so as not to be remembered."
Qiao Mingyue nodded, then said goodbye to the old man and continued to hurry, the news she knew from the old man's mouth was similar to what she found, but what she found was not so serious.
It can be seen that I don't know how much is hidden! These magistrates deceived their superiors and subordinates, for fear that such cholera would be reported to the emperor and affect their careers, so they caused today's tragedy step by step.
With a heavy heart, along the way, she could see the refugees carrying salutes and pushing small carts with their families fleeing to the south, among them, there are many babies who are a few years old or even a few months, and the spring rain can't bear it, so she whispered to Qiao Mingyue if she wants to help?
Qiao Mingyue frowned, thought about it and rejected Chunyu's proposal, they brought some property, but just relying on their strength, how many people can they help?
How can we be sure that these people's minds must be pure? If they encounter people with evil intentions, their actions will only cause trouble for themselves, not that they are afraid of these people behind their backs, after all, they are just a few homeless people, and she hasn't taken it seriously.
What she was afraid of was that the trip would be delayed, the carriage was already slow, and she didn't know how much slower than Qi Jingyun who was riding a horse, she was very worried about Qi Jingyun's situation, and she was even more worried about the riot of the people this time, but she was afraid that it was not so simple.
Hearing Qiao Mingyue reject her proposal, Chunyu didn't say anything like this again, and when it was almost dark in the evening, he didn't see an inn, and the three of them had to spend the night on the side of the road, in the middle of the night, Qiao Mingyue could hear footsteps in the distance outside, but he didn't know why, but he didn't do it.
When the sky was bright, Qiao Mingyue got out of the carriage and stretched, the coachman leaned on the carriage of the carriage, sleeping soundly, as soon as she moved, he opened his eyes.
Qiao Mingyue asked him to sleep a little longer, the coachman kept watch all night, she knew it.
The coachman nodded, closed his eyes again, got out of the carriage and looked around, Qiao Mingyue only saw a dozen refugees sitting around in the distance, thinking that the footsteps he heard last night belonged to them.
Seeing Qiao Mingyue looking over, those people withdrew their greedy gaze, lowered their heads one by one, and stopped talking.
