Chapter 57: The Loss of Bianliang

Qin Hui immediately signaled Wei Qing and the three of them not to move, but he stood up from his hiding place, and shouted loudly while walking towards the Jin army ranger in the distance: "I am Qin Hui in the imperial history of the Great Song Dynasty, Hugh wants to release arrows, and quickly take me to see the shaman of Ha Mi Chi."

The cavalry of the Jin Army in the distance heard the movement and immediately galloped towards this side. Wei Qing and the three of them lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, and watched Qin Hui be tied with ropes by the Jin soldiers who came over, and led back in the direction of Jin Ying.

Xiao Qinchuan hatefully hammered the ground with all his fist, his chagrin was beyond description, Wei Qing stroked his back and comforted: "This is the brother's own choice, and none of us can dissuade him."

Xiao Qinchuan said angrily: "Brother Hui has always been a fine person, how can he be so confused tonight, how can the Son of Heaven be killed by a random soldier who talks about killing, he is just lying and intimidating, how can such a clumsy trick Brother Hui not see it."

Wei Qing also felt that there was something strange about this matter, but he couldn't think of a way to do it, he knew that Xiao Qinchuan had admired Qin Hui for a long time, and seeing that Qin Hui was captured by the Jin army again in front of him, he must be indignant in his heart at this moment, so he had to be relieved: "In any case, we must rush back to the inner city of Bianliang as soon as possible, there is no one around the sister-in-law and Rui'er of the Qin family, if they have another accident, it will really be too late to regret it."

Xiao Qinchuan knew that Wei Qing was reasonable, and although he was extremely unwilling, he still regained his spirits, and slowly managed to avoid the Jin army sentry and went in the direction of Bianliang. When they arrived outside the city of Bianliang, the sky had already dawned, and the Jin army sent troops to guard the city gate, and the three of them did not dare to climb the city wall during the day, and they stayed until the next night to find a no-man's land, and threw the flying claws with ropes on the city wall to buckle the battlements, and then crossed the city into the interior.

Unexpectedly, when it came to the inner and outer city, the Song army who had already become a frightened bird refused to let the three people in, even if they reported the name of Qin Hui, the other party ignored it, Cao Lu was in a hurry and wanted to forcibly climb the city, but was almost injured by the defender's bow and crossbow. The three of them were helpless, and waited until noon on the third day to see a disciple of Daxin who was helping to guard the rudder, and then they were pulled into the inner city with a hanging basket.

As soon as they entered the inner city, the three of them immediately hurried back to the Yushitai Yamen, and after seeing Qin's wife Wang, they recounted the previous rescue of Qin Hui in detail. Wei Qing and the three of them were silently on the spot, they were all very embarrassed, and after a few words of relief, they all said goodbye and left the room.

Li Rui caught up with the three of them, and Wen Yan said: "Qin Xianggong lost the gold camp this time, the sister of the Wang family is inevitably sad, but she is not intentionally rude, in fact, she treats people very politely and gently, you should be more considerate, don't blame her, you have worked hard this time, and you haven't eaten well if you want to come, why don't we go to the street to find a food shop to eat first."

Wei Qing and the three of them didn't mean to be surprised, so they nodded and walked out together, looking for food on the street. The streets of the inner city were full of bleak and desolate scenes at this time, the two sides of the road were full of refugees begging for food, and everyone walked around most of the inner city, and they did not see a single one of the restaurants that were open for business, but they saw a lot of grain stores with the sign of "grain has been sold out".

Li Rui said as if unintentionally: "There is no surplus food in the inner city for a long time, and I don't know how long the Jin army will besiege the city, according to the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the emperor has been forced to go out of the city to negotiate peace the day before yesterday, if he can't come back, there is no one in charge of this court, but I am afraid that the inner city will not be able to hold on for long, I think it is better to make a plan as soon as possible."

Xiao Qinchuan was greatly surprised when he heard this, and said: "What? The Emperor Taishang also went out of the city to negotiate peace? Now that the emperor and a group of ministers have been detained, how can he go again, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not have a sensible person to dissuade them."

"Isn't this sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, confused, if the Emperor Taishang is lost in Jinying again, how can this inner city be defended", Wei Qing also exclaimed, "We must try to smuggle the Qin family's sister-in-law and Rui'er out of the city as soon as possible, otherwise as soon as this inner city is broken, it will become a trend of catching turtles in the urn, and it will be too late then."

Xiao Qinchuan and Cao Lu both agreed with Wei Qing's idea, and immediately decided to smuggle Wang and Li Rui out of the city to take refuge in the evening. Wei Qing took a closer look, and there were still many soldiers in the crowd wearing forbidden army uniforms, but most of these soldiers were unarmed, and they took off their armor and threw them on the ground while running.

Wei Qing hurriedly stopped a soldier of the forbidden army and asked, "What happened, why are you so flustered and confused?"

The man was in a hurry to walk, but was grabbed by Wei Qing's hand, and he couldn't break free in a hurry, so he had to hurriedly answer: "The Jin army is coming to attack the city, I heard that the emperor and the emperor are now captured by the Jin people, and the civil officials of the supervising army guarding the city ran away first after they knew about it, and then the generals of the unified army also ran away, and now most of the forbidden army at the head of the city has dispersed, you let go quickly, if you don't find a place to hide, you won't be able to save your life."

Wei Qing let go of the forbidden soldier's hand blankly when he heard this, and suddenly felt as if all the strength of his body had been drained, and his brain was blank. Li Rui exclaimed from the side: "Ah, it's too bad, the sister of the Qin family is still alone in the Yushitai, you have to take her out to take refuge immediately."

Wei Qing came back to his senses, turned around and discussed with Xiao Qinchuan and Cao Lu, and finally decided that Wei Qing and Cao Lu would immediately escort Li Rui to try to get out of the city first, Xiao Qinchuan went to Yushitai to find the Wang family, and everyone finally went to the place where the original Daxin rudder was located outside the city to meet him.

Wei Qing and Cao Lu took Li Rui not to go to the city gate, but went straight to the city wall, at this time the city was full of discarded weapons and armor, but they could not see half of the guards, they chose a place away from the city gate, found a rope to hang Li Rui down first, and then lowered themselves, fortunately, at this time the Jin soldiers were also eager to enter the inner city through the city gate to plunder, but there were not many patrolling Jin soldiers on the streets of the city, and the three of them also turned over the outer city, and finally rushed all the way to the woods where the original Daxin rudder was located.

Late at night, Xiao Qinchuan arrived alone, it turned out that after the Wang family heard the chaos in the city, he panicked and did not wait for someone to pick him up, so he went out to hide, Xiao Qinchuan could not find anyone in the Yamen of the Yushitai, and searched aimlessly in the city, and saw that the Jin army began to send troops to the city after looting, so he had to rush ahead and escape from the city.

"Alas, I didn't expect that I couldn't save my brother, and now I have lost my sister-in-law, I really deserve the entrustment of my brother", Xiao Qinchuan sighed, "How is this good."
