The Beloved in the Palm
Chapter 229
Chapter 229 I have to save her!
Yizhou is very large, with countless towns.
Qiao Xinyu is now in the main city of Yizhou.
The Meng people wanted the cooperation of Yizhou officials and people, and also wanted to collect money and grain from local wealthy businessmen, so they did not kill indiscriminately after entering the main city.
So the atmosphere in the city was not so tense.
Qiao Xinyu changed into men's clothes and wandered around the city for two days, and slowly got some news.
It turned out that the Meng people had a larger army, all stationed at the junction of the Meng people and the Liang Dynasty...
And most of his father's troops broke out, suspected to be heading for Songzhou.
Another group, led by Deputy General Xue Liang, surrendered to the Meng people.
She digested the news with difficulty and thought silently.
"Make way!"
"Get out of the way!"
Not far away, a group of people rushed over.
Most of them were Meng people, but there were also a few generals who looked like people from the Central Plains.
Qiao Xinyu's pupils widened and clenched his fists.
How dare they betray their country? How could he betray his country?
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
Qiao Xinyu had to walk into a shop nearby and stop to watch the pedestrians go away.
For a moment, the street was very quiet, with only the sound of the pedestrians galloping past.
Fortunately... there was no scene of rampant tyranny and trampling people to death on horseback.
Qiao Xinyu was stunned.
Is it because of their operation that the people of Yizhou were spared from being killed indiscriminately?
Human nature is so complicated...
Qiao Xinyu hesitated for a moment and did not think about it anymore, turning back to the direction of Xu's house.
But not far away, he heard a burst of horse hooves and footsteps again.
The sound was neither fast nor slow, but it was powerful and dense.
I think the team entering the city is so huge...
Who is it?
Qiao Xinyu looked up.
He saw countless Meng soldiers entering the city.
Among them, a young man sitting on a carriage, wearing a crown and complicated clothes.
I think she has a noble status among the Meng people.
Qiao Xinyu knew very little about the Meng people, so she turned her head away after taking a look.
Then she saw an even more surprising scene...
Following Zai Yu, there was actually a Liang Dynasty-style sedan chair!
There must be a woman sitting in the sedan chair, and even the sedan chair was wrapped in soft gauze and glass beads.
Qiao Xinyu suddenly had an idea...
Could it be that the person sitting inside was a Liang Dynasty woman?
At this time, the soldiers who originally lived in Yizhou City came out to greet them.
The Meng generals who were walking in the front quickly walked to Zai Yu and knelt down to pay their respects: "Greetings to my king!"
That turned out to be... the king of the Meng tribe?
How dare he come here?
Isn't he afraid that the Liang army will capture the king first before capturing the thief?
Qiao Xinyu was horrified.
"Where is the national teacher?" asked the king of the Meng tribe.
Several generals hesitated, but still said: "The national teacher is discussing military affairs with General Yao, and he is too busy for the time being."
"Oh, that's hard for him." The King of Meng praised.
The generals obviously didn't think so.
The Meng ministers who followed behind also frowned secretly.
What could be more important than coming to welcome the king?
"Since this place has been handed over to the national teacher, he will have full authority to handle it. I won't interfere, just stay in the north of the city." The King of Meng said again.
He seemed very easy to talk to.
Several generals wanted to say something but stopped, but they could only listen to the King of Meng.
There is a governor's mansion in the north of the city.
Now it has become the "temporary palace" of the King of Meng.
Qiao Xinyu followed and watched from a distance.
Several carriages stopped outside the governor's mansion, and the ministers of the Meng tribe got off the carriages one after another.
Qiao Xinyu tried her best to remember those faces...
Maybe they would be useful in the future.
Just as she was staring at it, a Meng slave helped a man down.
The man was wearing Meng clothes, but it was obviously not a Meng official.
The slaves helped him turn around.
The face suddenly came into Qiao Xinyu's sight.
His face was firm, his face was full of uncut beard, and his eyes were bright, and the light in them seemed to be forever shining.
Although they hadn't seen each other for several years...
But who would forget their parents?
Qiao Xinyu never thought that her father, who she had been looking around for and slowly trying to find, would appear in front of her like this!
Her head was buzzing, and even her breathing was choking.
So many Meng soldiers...
How to save them?
Qiao Xinyu endured the pain in her nose and thought that at least her father was alive...
Just when she was about to quietly leave to avoid attracting attention.
The Meng king walked to the Liang Dynasty-style sedan chair and seemed to be talking to the people inside.
The slave girl next to her quickly rolled up the gauze curtain and reached out to help.
An even more shocking scene appeared in front of Qiao Xinyu.
The beauty who came down was dressed in Liang Dynasty clothes, and her posture was lazy and indifferent.
... It was Xue Qingyin!
It turned out that she was sitting in the sedan chair!
Qiao Xinyu didn't remember how she walked back to the Xu family.
The Xu family's maid saw that she looked dazed and thought she was missing her relatives. She helped her sit down and called a doctor to see her.
"Your worries are gone, but for some reason, you have new worries?" The doctor looked at her and said.
New worries, new worries.
Qiao Xinyu clenched her fists again.
Not only did she have to save her father, she also had to find a way to save Xue Qingyin!
But how can we save them?
Qiao Xinyu asked: "Do you have a knife?"
Doctor: "Ah?"
The next day.
The news that more Meng soldiers, Meng nobles and officials came to Yizhou City spread.
When the people in the city became more and more anxious.
A notice was posted outside the governor's mansion, recruiting several Yizhou women to work as maids and servants.
"Who dares to go?"
"They are all foreigners!"
"Even if they are bullied, there is no place to seek justice."
Those who can read went back and cursed in secret after reading.
Those who can't read had to walk around. They were afraid that it was written on it that someone's head would be chopped off.
Qiao Xinyu was also mixed in the crowd. She read the content carefully.
She knew that this was her chance... But she was the only one entering the mansion, which was too conspicuous.
She had to think of a way.
Qiao Xinyu sighed and thought that it was not so easy to succeed.
Qiao Xinyu turned around and was about to leave with the crowd.
At this time, another Meng tribe member came out and said in poor Liang dialect: "Anyone who enters the mansion can first receive three strings of money. After entering the mansion, the monthly salary is ten taels."
Ten taels of silver?
The crowd around was quiet for a while, and then it became noisy.
They immediately rushed to the gate of the governor's mansion.
At this time, who cares whether they are foreigners or not, or whether they lose their lives.
That's ten taels of silver!
Qiao Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief and finally got in naturally.
But she also felt strange.
Are these Meng tribe members willing to spend money like this?
Three strings of money are required to enter the mansion first, and the monthly salary is ten taels!
Ten taels, this should be the money that some managers can get.
Could it be that... this person who has to serve in the mansion... is a troublesome person?
Will he bully women?
Qiao Xinyu frowned, but it was not easy to get in, so she still took a firm step and did not retreat.
On the other side.
Someone grabbed a book and walked into the hall quickly.
He didn't dare to look at the beauty on the seat, but only dared to look at the Meng king on the seat carefully.
Then he bowed respectfully, then stood up and said: "Sure enough, after shouting out, many people are willing to come."
Xue Qingyin sat there and said lazily: "I said, you Meng people may not recognize many of those words, let alone the poor people in Yizhou? There is no better way than shouting loudly and tempting them with silver money."
The Meng king asked her: "Do you want to choose by yourself?"
Xue Qingyin: "You choose. If I choose, you will ask me what to exchange. I won't do it if I suffer a loss."
The Meng king: "..."
The minister grinned beside him.
Who is suffering a loss?
Aren't we the ones who pay for you to find a maid?
