When Mu Jinghu heard this, the smile on his face was unnatural for a moment, and he only said: "Speaking of which, we are also front and back, and you have just set off when I returned to Beijing with Huzi and Bingtang." The fox knew that you were coming to Huichuan, and I was worried about your safety, so I came to see your situation. ”

shook the mask on his hand as thin as a cicada's wings, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to sneak in quietly, but Mr. Xie said that in the past, he would have to get me this Laoshzi, and I was almost unrecognized when I entered the door just now." ”

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, vaguely sensing that Mu Jinghu was deliberately avoiding the topic of Qiu Feishan and Brother Yan.

But there are many people at this time, and it is not the time to ask carefully.

Jiyun heard that Bingtang and Huzi had returned to Beijing, and said happily: "Bingtang has gone back?" ”

"Yes, I was worried that I would be in danger, so the prince left them in the capital, and I was the only one who came."

Jiyun nodded again and again: "Lord Wang, thoughtful, this place is indeed dangerous. However, with Mu Gongzi here, the safety of the princess can be guaranteed. ”

Mu Jinghu's ability, whether it is the silver-faced spy or the people of the Blue Sky Alliance, knows that as soon as he came, everyone immediately fell into their hearts, as if even if there were thousands of troops outside, they could not be afraid.

"That's good. With Mu Gongzi here, we just have to cooperate, and we will definitely be able to protect the princess to break out safely! He was shocked.

Liao Zhibing, Meng Qin and others also sighed.

Qin Yining's heart was also relaxed for a while, and after making tea, everyone sat down separately.

Qin Yining asked, "How did you sneak in and not be discovered?" What's going on out there? We have been stuck here, and we can only hear people talking about the war outside the wall, and it seems that the situation is not optimistic, but no one knows what the situation of Dingguo Gong is. Dingguo Gongzhen's army was defeated like a mountain? ”

Mu Jinghu smiled: "It's easy to sneak here. The situation outside is tense, but it is not like defeat. Before I entered the city, I went to the camp of Dingguo Gong, although the Tatars suddenly appeared, taking advantage of the siege of Dingguo Gong to attack the city, he was caught off guard, and also lost a lot of soldiers, but in the end, he was experienced in a hundred battles, dealt with it in time, and still had the strength to fight with the Tatars. ”

Qin Yining couldn't help but let out a long breath when he heard this.

Even if you can't get used to Li Qitian's various practices, the Great Zhou is the Great Zhou after all, and the people are innocent. The last thing Qin Yining wanted was for the Tatar iron horsemen to step into the Great Zhou, wantonly trampling on their land and mutilating the lives of the people.

"I just don't know how the Tatars came to Huichuan County. You must know that although it is located in the north, it is still far from the border. ”

"Dingguo Gong didn't investigate clearly." Mu Jinghu said, "I only looked at him when I went there, because I was not very familiar with it, and I was afraid that I would be suspected of spying on the military situation, so I didn't ask in detail." ”

Qin Yining nodded understandingly: "Dingguo is strict in governing the army, I think that if you can find out this news, you will already be useless." As long as Dingguo Gong still has the strength to fight, it is a good thing. At present, the army of the commander of Dingguo is stationed outside the city, and the soldiers and horses of Tatar and Lu Heng in Huichuan County are equivalent to attacking him back and forth. ”

There was silence.

"The princess's idea is good, but things are not easy to do. Lu Heng invited people to buy people in Huichuan County, and Dingguo Gong accidentally injured a lot of people who went to help defend the city when he attacked the city, presumably even if we let Dingguo Gong enter the city, the people would not agree, and they still had to do things behind their backs. ”

After listening to Liao Zhibing's analysis, everyone present couldn't help but sigh. When it comes to self-interest, the emotions of the people are most easily stirred. did not hurt the lives of their own families, most people only saw their own benefits, Lu Heng smashed the big families in the city, distributed the silver to the people, and successfully invited the hearts of the people, and then designed to let the people participate in the defense of the city, which is equivalent to letting them die, but a lie of "the saint is going to kill them" made these people go willingly, and they were mistakenly killed by Ji Zeyu, which deepened their previous understanding of the imperial court.

In such a situation, it is not difficult for Qin Yining to join forces with Ji Zeyu, with Mu Jinghu here, I believe that the soldiers and horses of Lu Heng guarding outside the yamen are invincible, but how to appease the emotions of the people?

Just like Lu Heng and Ji Zeyu had to watch the yamen closely when they were engaged in offensive and defensive battles, for fear that they would stab them in the back, Ji Zeyu was most afraid of the people stabbing them when he led the army to defend the city against the Tatars.

Qin Yining sighed, "I came with anger, and I lost my cool first, and I didn't notice anything unusual in the city, which is equivalent to stepping into the trap that Lu Heng has been planning for a long time. He set up such a big game in order to start a war. ”

"yes. He destroyed the imperial mausoleum, instigated the emotions of the people, and attracted the holy people to come and suppress it......" Liao Zhibing said this, and suddenly said, "Princess, the time when the Tatars arrived here is too coincidental, you say, is it possible...... Lu Heng deliberately brought the Tatars? ”

Qin Yining was also thinking of this layer, "If the northern cities are good, then they are fine, if they are not ......"

Then Lu Heng is a sinner who colludes with foreign enemies!

Qin Yining and Lu Heng had different ideas. People can be selfish for themselves or for themselves, but they can't lose the final bottom line. If you hurt innocent people to achieve your goal, will you not feel empty in the future when you stand on the bones of the people and enjoy the glory and wealth?

The atmosphere in the room was depressed for a while.

Qin Yining instructed everyone to go outside and listen to what the rebels arranged by Lu Heng outside the wall had to say.

When there was no one else in the house, and only one Jiyun was left, Qin Yining asked, "Master Mu, is there something going on with Boss Qiu?" ”

"Don't mention the woman." Mu Jinghu's face instantly darkened.

Qin Yining was surprised. Mu Jinghu's temperament is not gentle, but he didn't say anything about his wife, Qiu Feishan is the daughter-in-law that Mu Jinghu snatched by himself, and he worked hard to leave Brother Yan for him, when Qiu Feishan was sick, Mu Jinghu was in a hurry, and hurriedly took rock candy to treat Qiu Feishan, why did it become like this now?

Qin Yining pondered and said, "Is it a bickering?" Between young couples, there are also quarrels, and I and the prince also have quarrels, but when we turn our heads, we are not angry. Boss Qiu is a woman, who is at the mercy of the family like that, and has to run the Sitong number, and also has to take care of Brother Yan, and even more to deal with Qiu Yuanqing, she is still sick, you can also be considerate and considerate of her. ”

"Considerate? I don't want to see her again in my life. Mu Jinghu gritted his teeth and got up, brushed his sleeves away.

Qin Yining looked at Mu Jinghu's back in astonishment, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Jiyun was also surprised, and said for a while: "Mu Gongzi also has such a temper wreck...... What's going on. ”

Qin Yining shook his head, with some worry in his eyes.

Although Qiu Feishan's position was unclear at the beginning, her relationship with Mu Jinghu also had a coercive element at the beginning, and it was mixed with a lot of interests. But she could see that Qiu Feishan had true feelings for Mu Jinghu, and Mu Jinghu liked Qiu Feishan even more. In the end, she hopes that Mu Jinghu's family can be harmonious and happy.

Now that she sees Mu Jinghu like this, she must have a pimple, and she still has to think of ways to talk and make peace.

Another night passed, and in the early morning of the next day, Jing Zhen, Liao Zhibing and others heard bad news from the root of the wall.

"Princess, the army of the commander of Dingguo is fighting with the Tatars, and it is already on the verge of defeat. The people in the city are now in a panic, the Tatars have repelled Dingguo Gong, and the next one is afraid that they will attack the city? Then the people will be good. ”

Qin Yining listened to the first two big, and immediately stood up, and said with a serious face: "No, we must find a way as soon as possible, Ji Lan led the soldiers and horses to suffer the enemy outside the city, and they were also from the Great Zhou, but this group of people in Huichuan County dragged him back, how can he go on like this." ”

Qin Yining immediately led the crowd to find Lu Weigui.

Lu Weigui didn't have his master and the county Cheng with him, Qin Yining sent someone to protect Lu Weigui, and found that the county Cheng had the intention of killing Lu Weigui and carrying his head to Cheng Tatar, so he immediately tied him up. Lu Weigui was very grateful to Qin Yining, because he was grateful to see Qin Yining, and his attitude was a little more respectful than before.

Qin Yining told all the news she got.

Lu Weigui's face was wrinkled like bitter gourd skin, "Princess, what can I do?" The lower officials are really useless, so they should rush out with a knife and take down Lu Heng's anti-thief who has more than enough to do and more than defeat! But Xia Guan is just a scholar. ”

Qin Yining said, "Lord Lu has done an excellent job. It's just that now is really not the time for us to defend the yamen, I think, we should rush out, occupy the city gate, and open the double door to let the soldiers and horses of the Duke of Dingguo enter the city. Otherwise, if Dingguo Gong is defeated, the Great Zhou Dynasty will have one less big main force against the Tatars. This is no longer a simple rebellion, this involves the national glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

"Yes, the princess said very much." Lu Weigui touched a handful of sweat, although he was afraid, he still said righteously: "The lower officials will gather people and rush out, even if they fight to the death, they can't let the Tatars succeed." ”

Seeing Lu Weigui's statement like this, Qin Yining's heart relaxed a lot, as long as he didn't object and didn't drag his feet, things would take a turn for the better.

Qin Yining smiled appeasedly: "Lord Lu don't worry, the prince has arranged for a master to come." Pointing to Mu Jinghu, who had already turned into an ordinary face behind him, "This chivalrous warrior is strong in martial arts, and those defenders outside are only a few tricks in his hands. If the lord agrees, we will gather the brothers, and when this chivalrous warrior solves some of the people outside, we can take the opportunity to rush out, first find a way to capture Lu Heng, occupy the county seat, and open the city gate to welcome the Duke of Ding into the city. ”

Lu Weigui's eyes widened when he heard this, "This hero, one person, can resist the hundreds of people outside the yamen?" ”

Mu Jinghu didn't speak, turned around and went out.

Qin Yining immediately said, "Lord Lu, hurry up and arrange for the servants to follow." A few people were left to guard the back office, and the rest went out together. ”
