Chapter 542

Song Wenqing nodded, "the prince is mainly dealing with Xiao Yishui now, but if Xiao Yishui dies, the frontier will be in chaos, and the throne that he seizes at that time may be snatched by Da Dan. They are not stupid people. How can they be willing to give up the throne after a few days? Therefore, it is possible for Xiao Zhen to join hands with the crown prince, and the purpose of withdrawing is to solve the rebel army first. When the rebel army and the frontier are comforted, it is their business to fight between them. "

"It's really possible." Song Chuyu suddenly realized, "if you fight back in your own nest, you will let others take advantage of it. Xiao jueyang and the prince are very smart. They can still think of this in such a chaotic situation. In a word, they are also fierce. They fought each other before, but once they were in front of the interests, they were so concentric. "

"Xianggong, since you all guessed that Xiao juanyang and the prince joined hands, why did you go to Xiao juanyang to inquire about the news?" Asked Yin Qiqi, puzzled.

"Guessing is just guessing. Seeing is believing and hearing is believing. The rebel army can't be trapped in this place all the time. It's only when we go out that we have a chance to do things. It will only waste our time if we are kept under pressure all the time. So, no matter whether Xiao juanyang and the prince join hands as we think, I have to go out and find out. " Song Wenqing said.

Yan Qiqi frowned, "but now it's a dangerous time to ask for information?"

The contact between Yan Qiqi and Yan Jun gradually became less and less. Sometimes it may be a letter every three months, sometimes it may be a letter every six months. It's said that this year, I haven't received a letter from Yan Jun.

It's also a good chance for song Wenqing to meet Yan Jun, whom he hasn't seen for five years. Although it's dangerous, Yin Qiqi also believes that song Wenqing will save himself from danger.

After writing the letter, Yin Qiqi also brought some dried fruit tea to song Wenqing.

Song Wenqing wanted to leave from the other side of the river, and Yin Qiqi saw him on board, his eyes were very reluctant.

Song Wenqing was also reluctant to give up. After looking at Yin Qiqi, he said to Song Chuyu, "Chuyu, I'm not here. Thank you for looking at Yin Qiqi."

"Don't worry, cousin. No one can bully my sister-in-law with me."

Song Wenqing gently jaw head, to Yin Qiqi's eyes, gentle way: "at most twenty days, I will come back."

"Good." Yin Qiqi said with a smile, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Hearing that seven Yan Qing saw him off, he could not leave the boat quietly.

Three days later, song Wenqing's boat landed in a small fishing village at noon.

It's Midsummer, when the sun is at its zenith.

In the small fishing village, there are fishing nets hanging in front of the doors of every household, but the doors of every household are closed. Walking in the middle of the village, you can hear the conversation from every household.

When we got to the entrance of the village, the family came out to pour water. When they saw song Wenqing, they were slightly surprised, "brother, it's so hot. Where are you going?"

"Brother, how can I get to Huaikang? I'm lost. " In fact, song Wenqing knew where it was, just to avoid suspicion.

When the villagers heard that he was going to Huaikang, they immediately frowned, "brother, Huaikang is not peaceful now. You'd better not go there?"

"Why is Huaikang not peaceful?"

"We don't know what's the matter, that is, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been guarding there for five years. In the past five years, fighting has been heard all the time. Some people go to ask what's wrong, but the officers and soldiers drive out all the people who go there. We don't know who's there. We want the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to guard there, but those who have been there are not They all told us that Huaikang is not peaceful and we should not go to Huaikang. "

Xiao juanyang hid the news that the rebel army fled to Huaikang very well. He was afraid that the people of Dayan would join the rebel army.

It is also in line with Xiao juanyang's behavior to drive away the people of Huaikang.

Song Wenqing said, "I have a younger brother who is an official of the imperial court. He hasn't been back in Huaikang for five years. I want to see if he is OK in Huaikang these years."

"I would advise you not to go. If you say something unpleasant, I'm afraid your brother has already..."

"He's still alive. We had correspondence last year."

"When you get out of the village, you can see the official road. Go straight to the official road, and you can get to Huaikang in five days." Seeing that song Wenqing insisted on going to Huaikang, the villagers gave him no more advice and told him the way to Huaikang.

After thanking him, song Wenqing set foot on the road to Huaikang.

On the way to Huaikang, there was a terrible silence on both sides of the official road. There were no soldiers or businessmen in the past. It can be seen that in the past five years, Xiao juanyang turned Huaikang into an empty city, driving out the people who originally lived in Huaikang.

It took song Wenqing seven days to come to Huaikang city.

There are many people walking around outside Huaikang city. The people who come and go, dressed simply, either carrying chickens and ducks, or carrying vegetables, seem to be the same as ordinary people.

But if you look closely, the cocoons on their hands are different from those of ordinary farmers.

Farmers often deal with mud, and there will be mud in their fingernails. Even if they wash them, they will not be very clean. Moreover, farmers often work hard, and their hands are full of thick cocoons.But soldiers carry long guns and swords every day. The cocoons on their hands are concentrated in the middle of their thumb and index finger, or in the palm of their hands, and the nail seams are not too dirty.

From the perspective of form, farmers bend over to cultivate for a long time. If this goes on for a long time, their waist is more or less bent and their bare feet trample on the mud. There is no shape to speak of. But when soldiers practice martial arts, they are required to stand as loose as a bell and sit as tall and strong as a bell.

All the people in the queue looked like well-trained soldiers with bright eyes and straight backs.

It seems that Xiao juanyang is really allied with the prince and intends to annihilate the rebel army before dealing with other matters.

Knowing this, song Wenqing could not leave immediately, otherwise the other party would be aware of something, so he would be in danger.

When all the people in front of him entered the city, the soldiers stopped him and asked, "what are you doing in Huaikang city?"

"I've been ordered by my wife to see my brother-in-law."

"Brother in law?" The soldier looked him up and down. "Are you sure your brother-in-law is in Huaikang city?"

"Yes

"What's his name? What do you do? "

"His name is Yin Jun, and he works as a chef with the sixth prince." Song Wenqing said.

The soldier's face changed and said, "hold him!"

At the end of the speech, two soldiers standing around came up and caught him, so that he could not move.

Song Wenqing was shocked. What's the matter? Why does the other party want to arrest him? Is it Xiao juanyang who escaped with people? These people are actually the prince's people. When they hear that he has a relationship with Yin Jun, they want to arrest him to threaten Yin Jun, and then use Yin Jun to lead Xiao juanyang out.

If so, he's dead.

How can Xiao juanyang care about his life and death?
