Chapter 208: Their People (Second Watch)
"Mother!"
The young man who was holding the woman immediately lowered his face and shouted, "Those are just rumors, I believe Yu Xiang is not like that!"
"What isn't that kind of person! Now that the imperial court is stepping up the dispatch of reinforcements to the frontier, Yu Xiang, who has self-respecting troops in Chenzhou, has not made a sound at all!
And I've heard that if it weren't for Yu Xiang taking away a large number of soldiers and horses from the imperial court, the reinforcements would have come faster!"
As early as when he heard them say the word "Yu Xiang", Shen Qing's heart suddenly moved, and he quietly moved a few steps to their side, and his ears were erected high.
Yu Xiang supported his troops in Chenzhou......
In this way, Yu Jiuqing and they went to Chenzhou safely!
They're fine!
Fleeing to Chenzhou was a consensus they had reached before, because the defenders of Chenzhou and several nearby states were all their people, and long before the incident in the capital, Yu Jiuqing and Shen Qing had sent people to send secret letters to several generals over there, asking them to prepare to meet them.
If Yu Jiuqing and them arrive in Chenzhou safely, their people from all over Daqi will also move to Chenzhou at the same time.
The woman said that Yu Jiuqing took away a large number of soldiers and horses from the imperial court, and this is probably what she said!
The young man obviously didn't want to believe these words, pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you hear about these things, and who knows what the actual situation is! It is rumored that we were not in the capital on the day of Yu Xiang's rebellion, and now we have never been to Chenzhou, who knows if Yu Xiang is really there to support the army and respect himself.
And I believe that even if Yu Xiang really breaks with the imperial court, he will never watch those aliens invade my Great Qi, and he will definitely save my Great Qi as he did ten years ago."
Yo, this man looks like Yu Jiuqing's little fan brother.
Shen Qing suddenly felt that he was a lot more pleasing to the eye, and took the initiative to walk over and talk to them, "You are also going to Xizhou?"
The woman who was about to say something opened her mouth saw Shen Qing leaning over, and was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.
The young man subconsciously turned his head, and when he saw Shen Qing's appearance, he couldn't help but have a touch of surprise in his eyes, and the whole person became inexplicably nervous, and stammered a little, "This ...... This girl, are you too?"
Although the girl in front of her did not apply powder, and the clothes on her body looked a little dirty and wrinkled, she could not hide her beautiful and beautiful facial features like a fairy in the sky.
It's the first time he's seen such a beautiful girl.
Shen Qing smiled faintly and nodded, "I have relatives in Xizhou, and I went to Xizhou to seek refuge with relatives, but I am not very familiar with Xizhou, so I don't know if it is convenient for you to talk to me about the situation in Xizhou."
When the woman and the young man heard this, they immediately thought that Shen Qing was also from Qingzhou, because the men in the family were all detained in Qingzhou, and now they are alone.
looked at her eyes and suddenly carried a bit of sympathy and pity.
The woman sighed and said, "We are all poor people, and we must support each other along the way, so what's not to do? My surname is Zhou, and the girl calls me Zhou Niang, this is my son, surnamed Zhao."
Shen Qing immediately called them and introduced himself, "My surname is Shen. I just heard from you that the situation on the front line is very critical now, and I wonder if Xizhou is safe?"
That Zhao Xiaolangjun said very earnestly: "Miss Shen, don't worry, there are three states between Xizhou and Danzhou, and there will be no danger for the time being.
What's more, the imperial court is now on the way to send reinforcements over, I heard that the imperial court's reinforcements will arrive in a few days, and when the imperial court reinforcements arrive, those big cool barbarians can't jump even if they want to!"
Shen Qing thought that Mu Ren, who had already rushed back to Da Liang, was not so optimistic in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she only lowered her eyes slightly, and said with an uneasy expression: "Of course I want to immediately repel those hateful Da Liang barbarians, but...... What if? Do you know what kind of person General Liu is?"
It stands to reason that Yu Jiuqing and they went to Chenzhou, and if General Liu was his person, he would also follow him together.
But Yu
Jiuqing said before that he has been secretly supporting this Liu family concubine, so even the people of the Liu family don't know that this Liu family concubine is his person.
Yu Jiuqing didn't let this General Liu go to Chenzhou, probably because he kept him as their secret chess.
Shen Qing had never seen this General Liu, but now that she was going to take refuge with him, she still had to know more about his situation.
When Zhao Langjun saw Shen Qing like this, he immediately said with pity: "Don't worry, Miss Shen, our General Liu is very powerful!" At the beginning, General Liu was only 20 years old when he was admitted to the martial arts champion, and then he has been in the army, and in just five years, he has sat in the position of Wubian general.
He has been guarding Xizhou all these years, and there is not even a single robber and bandit in Xizhou, even the group of barbarians in Daliang will fight over, and General Liu will definitely protect Xizhou!"
Shen Qing frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although he had expected it, Shen Qing was still a little disappointed when he heard that this General Liu was so young, and he had not even been on the battlefield before.
But this person is so valued by Yu Jiuqing, and his ability should not be bad.
Immediately, Shen Qing wanted to continue to inquire about the news from the mother and son, but they were just ordinary people, and there was no channel to learn the news, most of the news they knew was hearsay, and what they just said was all they knew.
In the end, Shen Qing could only give up, anyway, according to that Zhao Langjun, if it went well, they would be able to get to Xizhou in about three days, and they could only wait until they went there to find out the news.
With the distance between Xizhou and Qingzhou, if they ride horses, they can reach it in about a day and a half.
It's just that now they can only walk, and it is very difficult to reach it in about three days.
Fortunately, Hongjing Junwang's convoy was carrying more things and did not go fast, so they would not be easily left behind.
But the speed of the carriage is different from that of walking, not to mention that most of the refugees in this group are old and weak women and children, and within half a day, more than half of them have been left behind.
Zhou Niang is old, and she doesn't walk fast, thanks to her son's half-carried and half-pulled her, so she won't fall behind.
Shen Qing couldn't help but congratulate himself once again that he had "hijacked" this black horse, although it was thin and trotting not fast, but it was able to be a means of transportation.
In the end, when Zhao Langjun's physical strength was about to run out, the convoy in front finally stopped.
Because it was getting dark, they had to find a place to spend the night.
After Shen Qing killed those Da Liang soldiers before, she took away all the dry food on them, so she didn't have to worry about food at night, and the day was spent safely.
Early the next morning, they started to hurry again, but to Shen Qing's surprise, the king of Hongjing County had also been walking in the direction of Xizhou.
She originally thought that she could only travel a distance with the king of Hongjing, who fled from Qingzhou and would definitely run to the south of Daqi, Xizhou was also at the border, so it was not safe to speak, how could he go there?
Soon, Shen Qing knew the answer.
Around noon, a group of refugees met them in the rear, they were the people of the same continent next to Qingzhou, and from their mouths, Shen Qing knew that Danzhou was broken not long after they left Qingzhou yesterday.
Immediately, the Great Liang barbarians poured into Daqi like locusts, all the way like a bamboo, and it didn't take half a day to capture Qingzhou.
After that, they led their troops all the way to the direction of the capital.
In this way, it is also understandable why the king of Hongjing did not go south, but went all the way to Xizhou.
Da Liang's current strategy is obviously to go deep into the hinterland of Daqi first and attack the capital directly, so that the left and right sides of Daqi are safe.
When the others heard this, they all looked desperate and frightened.
Da Liang's group of barbarians actually attacked, really attacked! Just like 10 years ago!
Who can save them this time? Who!
Zhao Langjun thought of his father, who was still in Qingzhou, his face suddenly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What about the reinforcements from the imperial court!" Didn't they say they were coming! Where the hell are they?"
