In the next few days, the atmosphere in Lingquan Town became more solemn.

Because the effect of the government's conscription was not obvious, the yamen issued a document and began to force the people to serve in the military.

Song Que is also listed because he has no merit.

Fortunately, the military service quota can be paid for.

After paying fifteen taels of silver, Song Que got out.

This is a bitter pain for the Qin family, the Wang family and the Liu family, each of which has a quota for military service.

Especially the Qin family and the Liu family, each family was also assigned two places.

Fortunately, several families are diligent. Before, Qin Xiaoyao's bean sprouts were sold and made some money.

Coupled with the money I have saved in my hands for a while, I finally got together the money for exemption from military service.

But as soon as the money was paid, the families became poor again.

Especially the Wang family.

Wang Dashan took Wang Laozhuan to rent the Liu family's house, because he made some money for a while, the original plan was to work hard again and strive to save money to buy a small yard.

Now he took out fifteen taels of silver at once, which instantly shattered Wang Dashan's hope.

Fortunately, he is now working as a shopkeeper in Qin Xiaoyao's newly opened porridge shop in the west of the city, and his salary is not low.

In addition, the porridge shop is doing well now, and he can still get some bonuses.

For the future, Wang Dashan is still full of hope.

Another five days passed.

Amid the growing tensions, the Liao army finally entered Hua'an Province.

For a while, Lingquan Town became panicked.

Pedestrians on the streets are walking faster than usual, and families are no longer as happy as they used to be.

The business of the Song family's porridge shop has cooled down.

On the Lingyun Academy's side, the scholars were even more irritable than before.

After the yamen came forward to arrest the people twice, not only did they not curb the momentum, but also broke out into a violent conflict.

On this day, something happened.

Qin was a little away and went to pick up Song Que and Song Ye from school, but he didn't wait for Song Que for a long time.

Later, I learned that Song Que was taken out of the city by a group of people.

With a bad premonition in his heart, Qin Xiaoyao forced himself to calm down, then drove the carriage and sent Song Ye home first.

After that, he unloaded the carriage again, rode his horse, and prepared to go out of the city to find Song Que.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he found that the city gate was closed.

"The county has an order, and the city gate is closed for three days. For the next three days, no one was allowed to leave Lingquan Town. Facing a large crowd of people crowded at the door and preparing to leave the city, a messenger said loudly.

At the same time, another messenger next to the messenger went to the side and posted a notice.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned, and followed some people to see the content of the notice.

Only then did I know that because of the news that the Liao army had invaded Hua'an Mansion, many people were fleeing.

In order to protect the population of Lingquan Town and protect the people in the city, the county order ordered the city gate to be closed.

The notice said that the gates would be closed for three days.

But these three days are obviously just a rhetoric.

Three days later, if the Liao army does not retreat, there will definitely be another three days.

If the Liao army attacks, I am afraid that within three days, Lingquan Town will be broken.

Right now, no matter what the outcome is, she is out alone, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to survive.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyao quickly pushed away the person who was blocking him and went to find the messenger who had just spoken.

The messenger naturally knew Qin Xiaoyao, because Song Que had worked in the yamen before, and he also had some friendship with Song Que.

"I'm afraid it's not good. If he was really captured with that group of scholars, I am afraid that he would have been escorted to the front line now. After listening to Qin Xiaoyao's description, the messenger said with a solemn face.

"The scholars of Lingyun Academy are making trouble, not this time."

"The county lord is also annoyed, this time he simply sent all the troublemakers out of the city and let them serve in the military."

"This time the imperial court conscripted troops, and there were a large number of them. There are also several places to go. ”

"Now, Qin Niangzi, even if you go out of the city to look for it, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it." At this, a look of sympathy appeared in the officer's eyes.

"And, even if you find someone. Song Gongzi is afraid that he has already entered the military and will not be able to bring it back. ”

The more Qin Xiaoyao listened, the heavier his heart sank.

She was a father-in-law, a literati, and she was powerless, but she was actually arrested.

Living in the army, how can he afford it?

Also, on the battlefield, how can he be the opponent of those fierce Liao soldiers?!

In a panic, Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly touched the silver from his pocket.

"Brother Zhang, please make it convenient for you to let me go out to find my father-in-law. When I find my father-in-law, I will be grateful! Touching the money bag, Qin Xiaoyao didn't look at it, so he stuffed it into the messenger's hand.

But the messenger refused.

"Not really!"

"Qin Niangzi, the county lord has already given the order. Once the city gate is closed, no one is allowed to leave the city. ”

"If I let you out of the city, my clothes will have to be stripped away."

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was still pleading, the messenger was very sympathetic.

"Moreover, if you go out of the city at this time, not only will you not be able to save Song Gongzi, but you will also be in danger."

"You'd better hurry home. In case the Liao army comes, and Song Gongzi is not there, the family can only count on you at that time. ”

Qin Xiaoyao's heart sank.

After glancing at the city gate, he finally gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

She must be saved, but she can't just leave rashly.

Before leaving, she had to settle into the house.

After leaving the city gate, Qin Xiaoyao did not go back to the Song family directly.

Instead, he went to the Qin family first.

Because of the changes in the city, the father and son of the Qin family are all there.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyao coming back, and his face was a little pale, the father and son quickly surrounded him.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly told Song Que about it, and also said that she had decided that she was going to find Song Que.

After hearing this, the father and son of the Qin family listened to it, one by one, their faces were very solemn.

Qin Dazhuang wanted to speak and stopped, and had the intention to persuade his daughter, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He, a father, witnessed his daughter's feelings for his son-in-law.

For more than a year, the daughter finally warmed her son-in-law's heart, and the young couple lived a sweet life.

Now that the son-in-law has such a thing, how can the daughter stay at home and wait for the news?

Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu's thoughts are similar, both of them are tangled and complicated.

"Sister-" In the end, Qin Dahu still spoke.

But before he shouted two words, he was stopped by Qin Xiaoyao's eyes.

"Big brother, if you persuade me, you don't need to say it."

"The safety of the minister is above all else to me. I'm going to have to go after him. ”

Seeing that the father and son were silent, Qin Xiaoyao said again: "This time, I came here to ask for your help." ”

"Over there of the Song family, we will take care of it for you." Qin Dazhuang opened his mouth.

Since they can't stop their daughter, they can only let her go without worries.

"Hmmm! Sister, we're here! Qin Erhu followed.

Qin Dahu's face was entangled, but he also nodded.

My sister is gone, and the Song family will definitely help take care of it.

A touch of emotion appeared in Qin Xiaoyao's eyes.

"Thank you, Dad, eldest brother and second brother!" Hurry up.

As he spoke, he was about to kneel.

Qin Dahu hurriedly held his daughter up.

"What is this for?!"
