Old Man Dong seemed to find out that she was observing, and took the initiative to introduce that this courtyard was the inheritance left by his grandfather's generation.

At that time, his family lived in the city, but later he was depressed and moved to live in the village. However, if any of the neighbors have something to do in the city, they can still settle down in this old courtyard, which can be regarded as saving a sum of money for living in the hotel.

As soon as Xia Qingyang heard this, he understood that Old Man Dong should belong to the kind of famous old gentleman who can preside over major affairs, and people are convinced.

"Isn't this for the sake of this kid. My old bones still have a little strength, and the villagers hope that I can take everyone into the city to plead for mercy. No, we have been living in this small courtyard all the days we have been in the city. ”

Old Man Dong spoke very methodically, and he made things clear in a few words, "But this time General Min really made a big mistake, and it was useless for me to find all my connections." There is really no way, so we can only go to the City Lord's Mansion to complain. ”

And then I met her.

Xia Qingyang understood.

Looking at Old Man Dong's earnest gaze, Xia Qingyang knew what he wanted to ask: "Don't worry, old man, I have already conveyed your request to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." His Highness hopes that I can come to find out about General Min's situation on her behalf. ”

Xia Qingyang finally breathed through and showed that he would take care of General Min's affairs. Old Man Dong and the villagers in the house all breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, as expected, Xia Qingyang heard a lot of Min Jiang's growth history from everyone, all about how difficult this child was, how he was honest and strong, and how good he was to them.

Not much useful information. And Xia Qingyang didn't speak much during the whole process, and the rhythm of the dialogue was always in the hands of Old Man Dong.

Of course, she could hear that this was Old Man Dong's intention to avoid her from asking certain questions.

It seems that there are secrets here, too.

However, unlike Fan Xi's side, what is the secret here, Xia Qingyang can guess some of it.

After understanding the situation, she said a few more comforting words, and then got up to take her leave.

When she went out, she still brought her in and the child gave her away.

"Can you really rescue Brother Jiang?" The child walked beside her inch by inch, obviously unloading his guard and recognizing her as a good person.

Xia Qingyang smiled: "Of course." ”

"Well, Grandpa Jiang also said that the eldest princess is a good person, and she will definitely be able to bring Brother Jiang back."

"Speaking of which, do you know all the people in the room just now? You are all from the same village? ”

"No, there are grandparents from other villages."

"Then besides the grandparents, why don't any adults come with them?"

Yes, this is the key to Xia Qingyang's coming here, and it is also the question she couldn't ask just now.

These villagers who came to avenge their grievances, including Mr. Dong and the child who led her way, were either old and weak, women and children, and there were almost no young and middle-aged men.

This not only made Xia Qingyang more inclined to that possibility.

"Because those older brothers who are old enough have gone to the army."

"When?"

"Just last month." The child is defenseless and innocent, "How handsome it is to defend the family and the country, if I were as tall as the eldest brother, I would also be a soldier!" ”

Xia Qingyang didn't show it on his face, but he already knew it in his heart.

Conscription last month?

As far as she knew, there had been no conscription in Dachun Kingdom in the past six months.

She patted the child on the head and told him that she didn't have to send it anymore, that she could already find her way back.

"You've got it in your mind." On the way, Daojun said in Xia Qingyang's ear, "This Min general has gathered young people from various villages, and it is estimated that he is planning to raise an army to rebel." No wonder he bites the bullet and refuses to tell the location of the conspirators. ”

After all, compared with the rebellion, robbing military rations is a lighter crime.

Once the rebellion is exposed, maybe hundreds of people in these villages will suffer.

Daojun: "Where to go next?" Looking for the location of this rebel army. ”

Xia Qingyang: "That's right. ”

"The sun is going down, and you're running out of time."

"Then go directly to General Min and ask him where the rebel army is hiding."

-

The prison is dark and gloomy. The stone bricks are no longer known from any dynasty, and they are covered with moss and black dirt after a long period of weather. The air was filled with a pungent sour smell.

There was not a single ray of light except for an oil lamp lit by the jailer a few meters away.

General Min asked himself, he had suffered all kinds of hardships when he grew up, but he couldn't withstand such torture and torture.

It's not just the prison environment.

Since his arrest, he has been interrogated and beaten every day.

Sometimes it's the jailer, sometimes it's the city lord, and sometimes, the assassin from the capital will also come to observe, personally beat him a few times, and then leave in a rage.

Still, it doesn't matter, he believes in his good brother.

Although they have only known each other for more than a month, with his brother's ability and ability, he will definitely be able to rescue him. He has to endure.

"Ugh!" "Hmm!"

Suddenly, there were several sounds of falling to the ground not far from the side of the cell.

Min Jiang opened his eyes suddenly, and vaguely saw a tall figure standing outside the railing.

He was a little agitated, holding his hands on the ground and trying to sit up straight, but the severe injury made it difficult for him to even turn his head, let alone change his position.

"It's finally here......" Min Jiang let out a sigh of relief, his voice hoarse, "It's all arranged?" The key to the cell is on the city lord Qiu Zun, have you got it? ”

The man outside the door seemed to pause briefly: "No." ”

"Then go quickly, what are you still doing in a daze, if those cell bosses outside wake up, how can you take me out?!"

“…… Not today. ”

"What do you mean? What did Lao Du say? ”

"The keys are not easy to take. Du Ge said, tomorrow on the court to save it. ”

"He's too bold...... But what's wrong with you, why doesn't your voice sound the same as usual? ”

"It's a little cold." The man outside the door cleared his throat.

"Oh, what are you here for?"

"There is an important matter for you to make an idea - the government has arrested people, and we are about to find the place where we are hiding, and Brother Du asks you what to do."

"Ask me about this?! Grab your stuff and retreat. General Min was a little anxious, coughed a few times, and muttered, "How come, the place we chose is hidden enough." But the outskirts of the underworld are dead man's slopes, and the people in the village are usually not happy to go, and there are several mountains to climb behind, and the government has nothing to do with the government to search for something in that place. ”

Oh, go over the outskirts of the underworld, and climb a few more mountains.

Cheng, just know a general direction, specifically, you can go there and ask the local green plants.

Yes, the person standing outside the door is Xia Qingyang.

She didn't expect that she would be mistaken for someone who came to rescue him.
