Huining County passes through Yanpeng Mountain and passes through Luyeyi and Demingyi to Qingxing County.

Except for the rugged mountain road, the actual distance was not too far. Li Zaichao, who was used to walking on mountain roads, was very relaxed. If Hong Jinglai hadn't been so shameless, he really wanted to ask him to carry him on his back.

Probably seeing Hong Jinglai's troubled expression, Li Zaichao took the initiative and said that everyone should take a rest and have something to eat at Demingyi Station, and they would definitely reach Qingxing that night.

He Deming Station's postmaster showed the horse tag and told the old postmaster, who could hardly open his eyes, not to say anything. When the postmaster looked at the horsetag, his hunchback seemed to straighten a bit.

You look like you can rest assured when I do things. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't pat my chest, I would probably have to show my loyalty to the king.

Lao Yi Cheng staggered and arranged for Hong Jinglai and his party to cook hot soup and rice in a large pot. As for Hong Jinglai, of course there was freshly pickled fish sauce, wine and steamed chicken.

What a shame, Hong Jinglai spent money to occupy the country's post horse resources. It's one thing, but it's another thing to eat other people's food. Let the old postmaster have sheep and chickens, and he can kill them for entertainment.

The old Yi Cheng declined while moving the money bag to his side. With money, you can naturally have all kinds of meat. Although the northern part of Hamgyong Province is not rich, forestry, fishery, mining, and hunting have all developed relatively. Mainly due to the Li Dynasty

The kings immigrated to the north year after year, and the population was sufficient, so all kinds of industries naturally began to flourish.

After waving his hand and sending the old Yi Cheng away, Hong Jing found a large cooling table, carried it under a big beech tree, and lay down directly.

"Gelang, we can't rest for long. According to your footsteps, we will leave after the soup and rice." Li Zai held a long stick in front of him, put one foot on the cold table, and looked eastward.

"I know, I know!" Hong Jinglai tilted his head. He just wanted to lie down now.

Li Zaichao looked at it, smiled helplessly, and sat down without saying anything more.

Suddenly, a few scattered figures ran past outside the post station. Gradually, the number of people on the post road became more and more chaotic. Before long, there were even people who looked like officers and soldiers running away to the west.

What's going on? Why are you running?

The dim-sighted old Yi Cheng suddenly became smart and assigned two soldiers to stand at the intersection. With his quick eyesight and quick hands, he captured an officer and soldier and entered the post station.

This man had also lost his cap, his spear, and his feet were bare. Except for the round mark of the word "pawn" on his chest, he could not tell that he was an officer or soldier at all.

At this time, Hong Jinglai and others were also getting up. There must be a reason why so many people were running away.

The soldier stopped feeling discouraged when he saw that Hong Jinglai had a strong force and that Hong Jinglai was very impressive. Even the Yi Cheng was waiting on him. He was probably a high-ranking official.

"Tell me, what happened in Qingxing County? Why did you run west?" Han Sanshi asked on behalf of Hong Jing.

"Sir! Zuoshan County has been lost! Thousands of Tatar soldiers are attacking Qingxing County!"

"What! Say it again!" Hong Jinglai was really frightened for a moment after hearing this. The Tatar soldiers were naturally the Qing army. Did the eight cavalry outside the Pass invade Korea?

How can this be!

Today is the Jiaqing Year! It is not the Tiancong Year, nor is it the Chongde Year! Where did the Eight Banners attack North Korea with tens of thousands of people?

"Tell me the truth! How many Tatar soldiers are there!" Hong Jinglai shouted angrily, making the soldier tremble.

"The younger ones are Qingxing County soldiers. Zuoshan has really been lost. As for the Tatar soldiers, I heard they are all over the mountains and plains. I don't dare to deceive you!" After saying this, the soldier kowtowed violently and could not say anything.

Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!

Dai Qing is now the stepfather of the Li Dynasty. The stepfather beats his son and gives orders to the court to reprimand him. At worst, the son of the Li Dynasty will have to pay more tribute next year. How can he send troops to fight?

Although Hong Jinglai was not familiar with the "Manuscript of Qing History", he also knew that no troops were used against North Korea during the Jiaqing period.

Not to mention the Tatar army with ten thousand cavalry, even the Tatar army with thousands of cavalry, or even the Tatar army with hundreds of cavalry, it was not something that Hong Jinglai could handle.

"Gelang, it doesn't look like he's lying. If there are Tatar soldiers, we really can't deal with them." Li Zaichao suggested.

"Get up! Did the Tatar soldiers attack Qingxing? Did you see it with your own eyes? Are you running away like this? Is the city broken?" Hong Jinglai did not answer Li Zaichao, but continued to ask the soldier.

But the soldier didn't answer at all, and Han Sanshi went up and whipped him hard. With a "Ahhh" sound, the soldier rolled over.

With tears streaming down his face, he cupped his hands and said, "The villain doesn't know anything, he doesn't know anything..."

"Brother Li, go to the roadside and catch two more people who can answer us!"

Not long after, Li Zaichao carried a man wearing an old brimmed hat and a coarse robe over like a chicken.

"Put it down! Put it down! I am an official of the imperial court! If you don't let me go, I will kill everyone in your family!" Since that little chicken is still an official!

"Put him down!" Hong Jinglai waved his hand.

"Who are you?" The little chicken-like man looked at Hong Jinglai.

"This is the specially-appointed Tanhua Lang. He is a Jinshi of the new family. He is stationed in Chengjun. He is the enshrined minister. Hong Jinglai, Lord Hong!"

The officer's eyes widened when he saw the horse tag. He probably mistook Hong Jinglai for the secret censor of Xianjing Road.

"You came from the east, so you must be an official from Qingxing. You have the responsibility to protect the land, but you dare to abandon the city and leave. It is a heinous crime!"

"Xiaguan is neither the magistrate of Zuoshan County nor the governor of Qingxing County. He is just in charge of the trial commission Xiongwu..."

"So abandoning the defense of a city is not abandoning the defense? If you are in charge of the ninth rank, you don't need to defend the land and bring peace to the people? All kinds of sophistry! Why don't you tell the truth quickly?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"If we turn around now, we can still save it! Tell us your name as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty Cui Zhengji..." He stopped crying and started sobbing.

"Two days ago, the governor of Guyi City reported that there were Tatar cavalry cutting wood and making boats on the banks of the Douman River. The news came early yesterday morning.

The whole ancient town of Japan and China collapsed, and the people fled to Qingxing. There was great chaos in the county. There was no eunuch in the city, and the county supervisor could not make a decision.

Last night, the people of Zuoshan County also marched to the county town. The supervisor of Zuoshan County fled without fighting, and Zuoshan County was destroyed.

Early this morning, the people of Lushan County also fled to the county town. They claimed that the Lushan County Supervisor also fled and Lushan was lost.

We still don’t know the situation in Juanfeng County!

The entire county except for the administrative office had fallen into the hands of thieves. Before noon, the Qingxing County Supervisor secretly opened the door and fled. The soldiers and civilians in the city could not hold on, so the whole city fled."

"Can you see the Tatar cavalry?" Such a fast movement to attack the city is really impossible without a large and capable cavalry team, just like the Eight Banners in its heyday.

"I haven't seen it..." Cui Zhengji shook his head.

"How many Tartars are there?"

"The official Du Cheng of the ancient city reported hundreds of horses, the people in Zuoshan said they had thousands of horses, and the people in Lushan said they had thousands of horses. I really don't know."
