The princess pushes her close to a woman

Acting according to the plan, the team set off quickly, Song Ci and the others arrived at the village they had chosen, Liujia Village, in the evening.

Except for the married women in the village, they are all of the same clan surnamed Liu. Although the villagers are closed and backward, they have always been united as one.The people outside saw a large number of court men and horses coming, and they rushed back one by one to report the news from house to house. The old patriarch came out tremblingly on crutches to welcome them.

As soon as they saw their group, they knelt down with their clansmen and begged for protection with tears in their eyes.

I heard that Prince Pingnan's son rebelled and captured seven cities, and it will be their turn to Nanli City next.

It's just that their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they really don't want to leave their hometown and flee north...

He Yun agreed with a sullen face, and took Song Ci to the old patriarch's house together, expressing that he wanted to stay.

The old patriarch couldn't ask for it, but thinking about the food issue, he hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and agreed.

After arranging accommodation for He Yun and Song Ci, he summoned the people in the village to tell them the news, and called on everyone to provide accommodation for the soldiers of Daliang.

In the evening, the arrangements were basically made. When the subordinates told He Yun the good news, he couldn't help but admire the patriarch for being so enlightened. Song Ci nodded in agreement, and finally said cautiously: "However, we still can't relax our vigilance. .”

He Yun looked at her with a strict look, recalling the old patriarch's unusually cooperative attitude, he also had some doubts in his heart.Immediately agreed, people will block the village according to the original plan, and people will keep an eye on the people in the village. If there is any change, they can be arrested on the spot.

After properly arranging things, it was getting late, and He Yun wanted to go to rest, so he sent Song Ci back to his room.

Song Ci's room was next to He Yun's, and they lived in the same courtyard as some soldiers, who took turns guarding the door of He Yun's room.By the way, Song Ci asked them to take care of his room and not allow anyone to come in at will.

He Yun heard their conversation, walked out from the inside, and ordered the guards to have twice as many people per shift to guard the gate of the military division.

He said to Song again: "Mr. Xin, you can ask for whatever you need, and the general will do his best to satisfy you."

"Thank you, General He," Song Ci thanked politely, more sparing of words than He Yun.

He Yun didn't know how to answer the words, so he hummed, then turned and went back to his room to rest.

Song resigned from the firewood room and asked someone to boil a basin of water and send it to the room. He simply wiped his body and rested.

It was a peaceful night, and early in the morning of the second day, the patriarch personally brought people to deliver breakfast to He Yun.Seeing that he had something to say, He Yun asked Song Ci to come over, and the three of them had dinner together.

During the period, the patriarch did say a lot, but they were all trivial matters, and there was a faint sense of praising the rebels. He Yunting frowned, and looked sideways at Song Ci's expression.

Song Cihui gave him a peaceful look, then slightly hooked his lips, smiled at the patriarch and asked, "Old man, do you know what happened to the city occupied by the rebels?"

Hearing this, the old patriarch looked at her with cloudy eyes, Song Ci returned a faint smile, and looked at He Yun again, with a sad face, and said slowly: "Oh, I heard that Nanqiu opened the city gate to surrender, The general who defended the city survived, and everyone else died in battle. The rebel army was extremely ferocious, I wonder how many troops you brought with you, general? Are you sure you can deal with them?"

"Do you know whether the people in Nanqiu City are dead or alive?" He Yun said impatiently, the old patriarch spoke slowly, sounding angry unconsciously.

"It seems... It seems that the city was massacred," the old patriarch hesitated, uncertain: "The news from Shangliu Village, I don't know if it is true or not..."

He Yun slapped the table, furiously said: "Bastard! Since Nanqiu surrendered, why are they still killing people?"

He had a stern face, and he was naturally difficult to get close to, but this time he was angry, and his coldness was even more intimidating. The old patriarch held back his fear and comforted him with nice words, but He Yun couldn't listen to him at all.

Seeing the old patriarch sitting and standing ugly, looking quite pitiful, Song Ci couldn't bear it, and said: "Old man, you should go back first."

"Then..." The old patriarch raised his eyes and peeked at He Yun, seeing that he seemed to be angry on his own, with no intention of objecting, he hurriedly said: "The old man bids his farewell, the two adults take it easy."

Song Ci got up to help him, the old patriarch was flattered, waved his hands again and again, and walked out on crutches.

He Yun withdrew his gaze and said to Song, "Mr. Xin, can you tell me if what this old man said is credible?"

Song Ci frowned slightly, and before he could speak, he heard He Yun say again: "Since Nanqiu surrendered, why did he want to kill them all? I suspect that the old man is lying, what do you think?"

"There are indeed doubts. I plan to check the situation tonight and then make arrangements." Song Ci said, she has not contacted Shen Baizhi's eyeliner so far, and she has no definite evidence, so it is unknown if the old man said he was lying. .

"Okay, I'll go with you." He Yun agreed, and took a hard bite of the coarse-grain steamed bun, his brows furrowed quickly, he sighed almost inaudibly, and swallowed it with difficulty.

Yesterday he found it unpalatable, so he didn't eat any more, but today he was going to Nanqiu, how could he have the energy to travel without eating?

"No, as the chief general, you should sit here at the rear, and I will go." Song Ci said, his expression was unclear under the mask, but his eyes were full of disapproval, which cannot be ignored.

He Yun has no doubt that if he continues to persevere, his military adviser will definitely feel that he has acted inappropriately, lacks prudence, and even does not deserve his virtue...

He said: "Then who do you need to go with you? I will let them be at your disposal."

"It's enough for me to go by myself," Song Ci softened his tone, and said, "I also ask General He to cover up for me, so that no one will find out that I am not here."

Even though He Yundang understood that Song Ci's thoughts were similar to his, and he didn't trust the old man and the whole Liujia Village, he solemnly said: "Don't worry, this general will definitely keep the whole Liujia Village tightly guarded, just like a fly Can't fly out either."

"Then thank you General He."

In order not to alarm others, Song Ci packed up the few steamed buns left on the table as dry food after dinner, secretly led the horse, and set off lightly.

After taking some effort to get out of Liujia Village, she looked around the empty wilderness, took out a map from her arms, and just laid it on the ground, a dozen dark guards in khaki tights appeared in front of him, and she had already spotted their figures Song Ci didn't even lift her eyelids, she said flatly: "It's good for you to continue to hide in the dark, and don't show up unless you have to."

The hidden guards disappeared in the blink of an eye, and only one person did not retreat. He raised the letter in his hand above his head, stared at the ground without squinting and respectfully said: "Mr. Xin, the letter from the master, please read it."

Hearing this, Song Ci's eyes flashed surprise, she just received Shen Qingluo's letter two days ago, she did not expect to receive it again so soon.

She hastily folded the map and stuffed it into her sleeve at random, and hurriedly got up to take it. The letter paper was wrapped in fine incense silk cloth, and the fragrance almost dissipated in Song Ci's hands.

If you don't smell the faint magnolia fragrance carefully, you can't smell it at all.

She opened it, and the neat and beautiful small script on the envelope came into view: Song Jun personally opened it...

Song Ci rubbed those words carefully with his fingertips, and the joy in his heart was self-evident. The last time Qing Luo sent a letter saying that this year's autumn came earlier and it was extremely cool.It's a pity that the heavy rain fell one after another, and it was very boring for her to be trapped in the mansion.

What will you say this time?

Song Ci pressed the envelope to her chest, her eyes were so soft that it was unreasonable, Qing Luo was strange, she couldn't think of what was written in the letter.Thinking about the last reply letter, she told Qing Luo to keep warm and not to be attacked by the autumn cold. Thinking that Qing Luo hadn't received it yet, it must have not been written in this letter whether she followed her advice or not...

The hidden guard hid himself after she received the letter. Song Ci opened the envelope without any scruples. The beginning was Shen Qingluo's undisguised thoughts: Song Jun, I dreamed of you again last night. Your wife is very happy. miss you so much...

Song Ci suppressed her embarrassment and continued to look down, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of the word "Lovesickness" from the corner of her eye. The indifference she was holding on to was suddenly defeated, her head was hot, her face was hot, and she hurriedly opened the envelope. Fold it up and stuff it in your pocket.

Shen Qingluo is now more and more unaware of what is reserved and introverted. At the beginning, she knew how to write in a polite way, think about you, sit and think about you, but now lovesickness has come out...

Song Ci finally understood that from now on, he could only hide in the room and read the letters sent by Qing Luo.

She took out the water bag and took a sip of water to cover up, and spread the map on the ground again. When she was looking for Nanqiu City, she happened to see the striking three characters of Nanli City.Immediately enlightened, maybe she should go to Nanli City and learn about the situation from the mouth of the general Shoucheng there.

After making up his mind, Song Ci walked carefully all the way, and quickly arrived at Nanli City. The city gate was closed tightly, and soldiers holding spears stood guard on the city wall. Looking from a distance, there were less than a hundred people.

Song Ci's expression moved slightly, he reined in his horse and waited for a moment, then swung his whip again and ran over, the dust was flying like a thousand troops, unstoppable.

Li Wei, the guard on the city wall, opened his eyes wide in an instant, and shouted loudly: "All soldiers, be alert!"

As he said that, he grabbed the bow of the archer beside him, quickly drew an arrow and put it on the string, aimed at Song Ci, and warned: "Who is coming, stop quickly, dare to trespass my Nanli City, kill without mercy!" !"

On the way, Song Ci thought about her speech, she reined in her horse unhurriedly, jumped off, cupped her hands and said, "I am from the Liu Family Village, and I have something to see General Li Wei."

Liu Family Village?Li Wei thought for a while, he didn't remember the village, and asked, "Which town does it belong to?"

Unexpectedly, Li Wei was so cautious, Song Ci was stunned for a moment, quite helpless, she was only concerned with fabricating her identity in Liujia Village, and didn't notice this problem for a while.

She simply took out her waist badge, held it up to her and said, "Can you convey to General Li Wei for me?"

The bearded general put down the bow and arrow in his hand, his tone softened a lot, and said: "I am Li Wei, you throw up the token, and after I have verified the authenticity, I will let you in, how about it?"

"Okay," Song Ci took a few steps forward, came to the city gate, and threw the token in his hand upwards. Li Wei took it firmly in his hand, and looked back and forth several times. After confirming that it was true, he opened his eyes. The city gate let her in.
