Heishui City is a city naturally formed by the herdsmen on the grassland due to their trading and supply needs.

The walls were rammed earth walls, which were very thick and difficult to penetrate from the outside.

This is the first prosperous city that Song Yi saw after waking up.

The steppe tribes were scattered, and families migrated with water and pasture, so they rarely gathered into large cities.

Although it is not worth mentioning compared with the big cities of the Qian, for the herdsmen on the grassland, Heishui City provides them with supplies, resting and trading places for them to travel long distances.

After so many days of recuperation, Xianglian and Chunxiang have fully recovered, and they also perform their own duties, taking care of Song Yi meticulously.

Song Yi has also been trying to get the news out, but he hasn't seen any outsiders along the way, and there is no way to pass the news out.

Finally, Song Yi and the others entered Blackwater City, and Song Yi thought that the news had to be passed on no matter what, at least to let Zhu Xi and them know that they were safe now.

Because Blackwater City was the last city before entering Moon City, Huo Du's caravan needed to rest in the city, so he told Song Yi that they needed to stay in Blackwater City for three days.

Of course, Song Yi couldn't ask for it, so she would have the opportunity to go to the city to find a way.

It's been a long journey. A month and a half has passed since he came out of Du Mansion on that day.

The New Year of the Qianzhao Dynasty and the auspicious day of Song Yi's wedding have been missed.

Thinking that some time ago, she was still a substitute bride, but now she has become a person who has left her homeland.

Song Yi felt a little pity, this wedding was really full of twists and turns, and it was very unsmooth.

I don't know, what will happen if Zhu Xi knows that he is missing?

Also, if the people in the capital knew that the bride of the true king's mansion Chongxi was missing, would they say anything nonsense?

Just as Song Yi was thinking wildly, Song Yi's door was knocked.

Xianglian went to open the door.

"Miss Linna, Prince Huodu"

It turned out that the two siblings, Linna and Huo Du, came.

"Lily girl, where are you young lady?" It was the hearty Linna who asked the question, her voice was light and pleasant, and she could hear her expression if she listened carefully.

"Linna, are you here?"

Song Yi hurriedly welcomed the two in. "Mr. Huo"

"Miss Song, are you still used to this inn?" Huo Du saw that Song Yi was dressed as a prairie woman, and felt that she was petite and lovely, and her eyes were even hotter.

"Mr. Huo bothered. Unexpectedly, the decoration of this inn is the same as that of the Qianchao, and I was shocked when I saw it for the first time."

"That's good. The owner of this shop was originally from your Qianchao, but recently the two countries were at war, and the original boss suddenly disappeared, so it was replaced by our Jurchens."

"Oh?" Song Yi didn't believe that someone would give up such a big family business and suddenly disappear, it must be that the two countries are at war, and the owner of this shop is killed, maybe it was the Jurchens who killed the boss and occupied the store.

Song Yi felt a little awkward when he thought of this.

Seeing that Song Yi's face was not good, Linna asked with concern, "Miss Song, why do you have a bad face?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

After Huo Du heard this, he was also very concerned, "Is it a bumpy road, and the girl's body can't bear it?" ”

Song Yi was worried that he didn't have a chance to go out, so he borrowed a donkey to go downhill and said, "Yes, although the scenery is beautiful, this road is very monotonous and boring. I finally entered the city, I don't know if there is a chance to visit the city on the grassland and see the customs here? ”

"Miss Song, it's a coincidence. You and my brother thought of going together. My brother also said just now that the girl was probably stuffy all the way, and finally came to Blackwater City. I want to invite the girl to go shopping, so that I can introduce the life of our Jurchen ordinary people to the girl."

"Then thank you, Mr. Huo, I really want to see the excitement."

So, Song Yi, Xianglian and Chunxiang went out shopping. As for it, it is naturally followed by the two siblings Linna and Huo Du.

Song Yi has been lying to Linna and Huo Du, the two siblings, her family is in business, because of robbers on the road, the guards at home desperately sent their three masters and servants out. The carriage was frightened, and the three of them were thrown out of the carriage and unconscious on the side of the road.

Although this story is too bloody, Song Yi can't think of a more reasonable explanation for a while.

It's better than telling the truth.

And the two siblings, Linna and Huo Du, did not doubt it anymore and accepted Song Yi's words.

The three masters and servants took the Huodu brothers and sisters and went shopping in Blackwater City aimlessly.

Song Yi pretended to go shopping, but in fact wanted to get in touch with Zhu Xi.

As for the method of contact, Song Yi had already thought about it.

Heishui City is the closest to Yuecheng, the Jurchen capital, and is equivalent to Tianjin, a satellite city of Beijing. In such an important location, there must be a dark web in the Qianchao.

Song Yi was talking to Linna all the way, in fact, he had been observing the suspicious places on the street.

Finally, at a pawnshop, Song Yi found the clue she wanted to find.

There is a flag at the door of the pawnshop, on which the word "pawnshop" is written in Jurchen and Chinese, and there is an orchid in an inconspicuous place next to it.

When Song Yi saw this orchid, not to mention how excited he was.

But she pretended that nothing had happened, and winked at Xianglian and Haruka.

The two girls immediately understood, and followed Song Yi closely.

"And a pawnshop here? It just so happened that I didn't have any money with me, and I wanted to find a pawnshop to get something."

"Miss Song, why do you want to go here? If you lack silver, just ask Huo Mou."

"Mr. Huo's kindness, I appreciate it. But I'm used to being independent, and I don't like to owe others. Besides, although we are now following the caravan of the gentleman, one day, we will still have to return to our homeland, and this silver is also indispensable."

With that, Song Yi stopped caring about Huo Du and entered the pawnshop.

Business in the pawnshop is very good, after all, there is a shortage of soldiers now, and smart people are willing to exchange things that are inconvenient to carry for real money.

Song Yi and his entourage entered the pawnshop, and when the guys inside saw that four delicate girls and a son came in, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Song Yi didn't talk nonsense, "I have a treasure here that needs the boss's help to identify" and took out the jade pendant that the real king gave her.

The guy wanted to take the jade pendant, but Song Yi avoided it, so he asked Song Yi with strange words.

Song Yi was confused, obviously not understanding.

And Linna, who was on the side, also said something to the guy.

The guy had a suddenly realized expression, and asked Song Yi in the official dialect of the Qianchao, "The girl is from the Qianchao?" ”

The man's words made everyone in the store look sideways.

At this time, there are still people from the Qianchao Dynasty who appear in Heishui City, how can they not attract people's attention?

The store is full of Jurchens with five big and three thick, all of them are strong and strong, and they are like a hill standing there, giving Song Yi invisible pressure.

But Song Yi didn't feel any discomfort, and only nodded, "Well, yes"

The guy was suspicious for a moment, took a closer look at Song Yi and Xianglian, and then turned around and walked towards the back hall.

After a while, the guy who had just left walked out with a middle-aged man in his forties.

"The girl wants to see me?" The alien man had a beard on his face and was dressed in an alien costume, but he asked in the official dialect of the Qianchao.

Song Yi nodded.

The man didn't ask much, so he took Song Yi to the back, Linna and Huo had to follow, but they were blocked by the guys.

Of course, Lina didn't want to be stopped outside and argue with the guys in Jurchen.

Song Yi knew that this was the secret location of the real king, and he was not afraid, so he came back to persuade Lina not to worry, and appeased Xianglian and Chunxiang.

Then I followed the boss to the back hall.

The pawnshop is full of furniture and furnishings of the Qianchao, if she didn't know that this place was the Jurchen Heishui City, Song Yi would have thought that she was in the territory of the Qiandai.

"Princess" Just when Song Yi was stunned, the boss turned around and knelt down in front of Song Yi.

"You are?" Song Yi was still confused.

The boss didn't talk nonsense and took off the human skin mask on his face.

Song Yi recognized who the boss was.

"Is that you?"

"It's a subordinate"

It turned out that the owner of the pawnshop in Blackwater City was Jiang Geng, a subordinate of the real king.

Jiang Geng disguised himself as a Jurchen and lurked in Blackwater City to find out the news of the enemy country.

This time, he was also very surprised to see the princess here.

Because of the war between the two countries, Jiang Geng's news channels with the capital have been almost cut off. Last time, it was a month ago, and the prince sent someone to bring the news of the princess's disappearance.

Jiang Geng didn't expect that the princess would appear in Blackwater City, and when he heard the guy describe that three Qianchao girls and two Jurchens came to the store, Jiang Geng just had doubts and went out to check it out for himself.

Unexpectedly, it was the princess.

When Song Yi saw Jiang Geng, he was settled.

told Jiang Geng what happened along the way.

Jiang Geng nodded, knowing that the princess was fine, and he was also determined.

However, "Princess, why are you with Huo Du?" ”

"What's wrong? Huo Du said that he was the caravan leader, is there any problem? ”

"He is a member of the Jurchen Wanyan family, the Wanyan family is a Jurchen wang clan, and he is a close confidant of Nuhachi Khan. He's a conservative, but he's not an easy character."

"Oh? So he was with Nohachi? Then how did he get into Kyoto and save me? ”

"After the news that my people inquired about, the emperor secretly sent a letter to He Nuhachi, asking for peace talks. And Huo Du is the representative of this peace talks."

"I see, no wonder I always feel that the people in this caravan are very disciplined, not like ordinary caravans."

Jiang Geng nodded and said, "Princess, the prince has been searching for you in the territory of the Qianchao. You should go back quickly."

"I've been trying to figure out what to do. I'm glad I met you here, otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to contact your prince."

"Princess, otherwise, I'll send you back personally"

"No, you lurk here, you must have your own mission. You just need to send the news of my safety back, and I will find a way to return to the Qianchao by myself."

"Princess, how can this be done? In front of you is Moon City, and if you enter Moon City, your identity will be exposed. When the time comes, it will be dangerous."

"Why, could it be that someone in Moon City knows me?"

"Don't hide it from the princess, the prince will expose his strength in order to find you this time. It also attracted the attention of He Nuhachi, who had already sent spies into the Qianchao to inquire about the news, and must have also obtained the portrait of the princess. As long as she enters Moon City, the princess will definitely be exposed."

Song Yi thought about it, and also felt that the matter was too tricky, "But Huo Du didn't arrest me here." It seems that the news of and Nuhachi did not reach Huodu. If I don't say goodbye, won't it be a surprise and even more suspicious? I think I'd better stay put, and then sneak away from them and run back when I have the chance."

"Princess, this is a long way, you are not familiar with the place, how easy is it for you to return to the Qianchao?"

"What then? I can't go back, and you can't leave. ”

"Princess, don't worry. Let me think of another way, you try to delay as much time as possible, and I will get in touch with the prince as soon as possible"

"Okay, but we can't delay too much time, it will make Huo Du and them suspicious"

"Princess, as long as you give me ten days, I will have a way to get in touch with the prince."

"However, princess, my subordinates still need a token from you, and send it back with the letter."

"Okay" Song Yi didn't think about it, and handed over the jade pendant just now to Jiang Geng. This jade pendant was given to him by the real king, and it should be regarded as a token.

Song Yi came back from the backyard, and Jiang Geng returned to his original appearance as a shopkeeper.

"Girl, your treasure is very precious, this time we have a very pleasant transaction, and I hope the girl can rest assured"

"Happy cooperation" Song Yi knew what Jiang Geng meant, so he left with the others.

After getting in touch with Jiang Geng, Song Yi felt a lot more settled in his heart, but how could he take it for another ten days in Blackwater City?
