Hearing the words, Mu Jinghu had an unnatural smile on his face for a moment, and only said: "Speaking of which, we are also front and rear. You just set off when I returned to Beijing with Huzi and Bingtang. Pang Fox knew that you were coming to Huichuan, and was worried. If you are in danger, I will come to see your situation."
Shaking the thin mask on his hands, he smiled again: "I originally wanted to sneak in quietly, but Mr. Xie said that in the past, he would give me this shit, and I was almost unrecognized when I entered the door just now. ."
Qin Yining nodded with a smile, vaguely aware that Mu Jinghu was deliberately avoiding the topic of Qiu Feishan and Brother Yan.
But at this time there are many people, and it is not the time to ask carefully.
Ji Yun heard that both Bingtang and Huzi had returned to Beijing, and said happily, "Is Bingtang back?"
"Yeah, I was worried that I would be in danger, so the lord left them in the capital, only I came here."
Ji Yun nodded again and again: "My lord, you are thoughtful, this place is indeed dangerous. But with Mr. Mu here, the safety of the princess can be guaranteed."
Mu Jinghu's ability, whether it is the silver-faced spy or the Qingtian League, knows that when he came, everyone immediately fell a big stone in their hearts, as if even if there were thousands of troops outside, they could not let them be afraid.
"This is great. With Young Master Mu here, let's just cooperate and we will be able to protect the princess and break out safely!" Jing Zhe said with joy.
Liao Zhibing, Meng Qin and the others also seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
Qin Yining was also relieved for a while, so tea was made, and everyone sat down.
Qin Yining asked: "How did you sneak in without being discovered? How is the situation outside? We have been stuck here, and we can only hear people outside the wall talking about the war. It seems that the situation is not optimistic, but who is the situation of the Duke of Guo? I don't know. Duke Dingguo was really defeated like a mountain?"
Mu Jinghu smiled and said: "It's easy to sneak in. The situation outside is tense, but it's not like a fall. Before I entered the city, I went to Duke Dingguo's camp. Although the Tartars suddenly appeared, they took advantage of the situation. When Duke Ding was attacking the city, he used a black hand behind his back, caught him by surprise, and lost a lot of soldiers, but he has experienced hundreds of battles and responded in time, and he still has the strength to fight the Tartars."
Qin Yining couldn't help but sighed after hearing this.
Even if he is not used to Li Qitian's various practices, Da Zhou is Da Zhou after all, and the people are innocent. The last thing Qin Yining wanted to see was the Tartar cavalry stepping into the Great Zhou Dynasty, wanton trampling on their land and ruining the lives of the people.
"I just don't know how the Tatars came to Huichuan County. Although it is located in the north, it is still far from the border."
"Ding Guogong didn't investigate clearly." Mu Jinghu said, "I only looked at him when I went to his place. Because I was not very familiar with it, I was suspected of spying on the military situation, so I didn't ask in detail."
Qin Yining nodded understandingly: "Dong Dingguo manages the army rigorously. If you can find out this information, you have already lost the power of nine bulls and two tigers. As long as Dingguo has the power to fight, it will be a good thing. In the current situation, definitely The commander-in-chief of the Guogong was stationed outside the city, and the Tatars and Lu Heng's troops in Huichuan County were attacking him from the front and back. I think it would be better if we solve the crisis in Huichuan County and let the people of the Guogong enter. It’s good to come to the city.”
The crowd fell silent for a while.
"The princess's idea is good, but things are not easy to do. Lu Heng invited people to buy people's hearts in Huichuan County, and Ding Guo Gong accidentally injured a lot of people who went to help defend the city when he attacked the city, presumably even if we let Ding Guo Gong go. When they enter the city, the people do not agree, and they still have to do things behind their backs.”
After listening to Liao Zhibing's analysis, everyone present couldn't help but sigh. When it comes to their own interests, the emotions of the people are the most likely to be incited. Without hurting their own lives, most people only see their own benefits. Lu Heng smashed the big families in the city, distributed the money to the people, successfully invited people to buy people's hearts, and then designed the people to participate in the defense. The city is equivalent to sending them to their deaths, but a lie of "The Holy One is going to kill them" made these people willingly go. They were killed by Ji Zeyu, which deepened their previous understanding of the court.
In such a situation, it would not be difficult for Qin Yining to cooperate with Ji Zeyu inside and outside. With Mu Jinghu here, I believe that the soldiers and horses of Lu Heng who are guarding outside the yamen are invincible, but how can the people's emotions be appeased
Just as Lu Heng and Ji Zeyu had to watch the yamen closely when they were engaged in an offensive and defensive battle, for fear that they would come out and stab them in the back. When Ji Zeyu led the army to defend the city against the Tartars, what he feared most was the people stabbing knives.
Qin Yining sighed, "I came here with anger, but I lost my composure first, and I didn't notice anything strange in the city. It was like stepping into the trap that Lu Heng had planned for a long time. A bureau, in order to cause war."
"Yeah. He destroyed the imperial mausoleum, incited the people's emotions, and attracted the people of the sage to come to suppress..." Liao Zhibing said here, and suddenly said, "Princess, the time of the Tartars arriving here is too coincidental, you Say, is it possible that... Lu Heng deliberately attracted the Tartars?"
Qin Yining was also thinking of this level, "If the northern cities are good, then that's fine, if not..."
Then Lu Heng is a sinner who colluded with foreign enemies!
Qin Yining and Lu Heng had different ideas. People can be for themselves or selfish, but they can't lose the bottom line. Injuring innocent people to achieve their goals, won't they feel guilty when they stand on the bones of the people and enjoy glory and wealth in the future
The atmosphere in the house became depressed again for a while.
Qin Yining ordered everyone to go outside and listen to what the rebels arranged by Lu Heng outside the wall had to say.
When there was no one else in the house, and only Ji Yun was left, Qin Yining asked, "Mr. Mu, is there something wrong with Boss Qiu?"
"Don't mention that woman." Mu Jinghu's face darkened instantly.
Qin Yining was surprised. Mu Jinghu's temperament can't be said to be gentle, but there is nothing to say about his wife. Qiu Feishan was the daughter-in-law that Mu Jinghu snatched away, and he worked hard to leave brother Yan for him. When Qiu Feishan was born When she got sick, Mu Jinghu was in a hurry. She hurriedly brought rock candy to treat Qiu Feishan. Why did it become like this now
Qin Yining pondered and said, "Is there a bickering? There are also bickerings between young husbands and wives, and there are bickerings between me and the prince, but when we turn our heads, we lose our temper. Boss Qiu is a woman who is treated like a family. At the mercy of you, you have to run the Sitong number, take care of Brother Yan, and even deal with Qiu Yuanqing, she is still ill, you should be considerate and considerate of her."
"Considerate? I don't want to see her again in my life." Mu Jinghu gritted his teeth and got up, and walked away.
Qin Yining looked at Mu Jinghu's back in astonishment, not knowing what to do for a while.
Ji Yun was equally astonished, and said after a while, "Young Master Mu also has such temper tantrums... What's the matter."
Qin Yining shook his head with some worry in his eyes.
Although Qiu Feishan's stance was unclear at first, her marriage with Mu Jinghu also had an element of coercion at the beginning, and it was also mixed with a lot of interests. But she could see that Qiu Feishan had real feelings for Mu Jinghu, and Mu Jinghu liked what Qiu Feishan liked. In the end, she hoped that Mu Jinghu's family would be harmonious and happy.
Now that Mu Jinghu looks like this, she must have a lump, and she still has to find a way to talk and talk.
Another night passed, and in the early morning of the next day, Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing and others heard bad news from Qianggen.
"Princess, Duke Dingguo's army is on the verge of defeating the Tartars. The people in the city are panicking now. The Tartars have beaten Duke Dingguo. I'm afraid the next one will be attacking the city? What should the people do?"
Qin Yining listened to one of the two big ones, and immediately stood up and said with a serious face: "No, we must find a way as soon as possible, Ji Lan brought his troops and horses to face the enemy outside the city, and they are also from Dazhou, Huichuan County. The crowd is holding him back, how can it go on like this."
Qin Yining immediately led the crowd to find Lu Weigui.
Lu Weigui is now without the master and the county magistrate. Qin Yining sent someone to protect Lu Weigui. When he found that the county magistrate had killed Lu Weigui, he took his head to surrender to the Tatar, and immediately tied him. Lu Weigui was very grateful to Qin Yining, so he was very grateful to see Qin Yining, and his attitude was a little more respectful than before.
Qin Yining told all the news she got.
Lu Weigui's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd peel, "Princess, what can I do? It's really useless to be an official, so I should rush out with a knife and kill Lu Heng's renegade thief. Take it down! But Xiaguan is just a scholar."
Qin Yining said: "Master Lu has done a very good job. It's just that now is not the time for us to stick to the yamen. I think we should rush out, occupy the city gate, and let Ding Guogong's troops and horses enter the city. If the public is defeated, the Great Zhou Dynasty will lose a major main force against the Tatars. This is no longer a simple pacification, it involves the Great Zhou Dynasty's country."
"Yes, what the princess said is very true." Lu Weigui sweated, and although he was afraid, he still said righteously: "Xiaguan will gather people and try to rush out, even if he tries his best, he cannot let the Tartars succeed. "
Seeing Lu Weigui's remarks, Qin Yining felt a lot more relaxed. As long as he didn't object or hold him back, things would turn around.
Qin Yining smiled reassuringly: "Master Lu, don't worry, the lord has arranged for a master to come." He pointed to Mu Jinghu, who had already changed his face behind him, "This knight is very skilled in martial arts, and the defenders outside are in his hands. It is a problem that can be solved in a few tricks. If the lord agrees, we will gather the brothers here, and when the chivalrous man solves some of the people outside, we can take the opportunity to rush out and find a way to capture Lu Heng and occupy it. In the county seat, open the city gate to welcome Duke Ding into the city."
Lu Weigui's eyes widened when he heard it, "This hero, alone, can resist the hundreds of people outside the yamen?"
Mu Jinghu didn't speak, turned around and went out.
Qin Yining immediately said: "Master Lu, hurry up and arrange for the officers to follow. Leave a few people to guard the back office, and the rest will go out together."
