Ying Er has been following Xie Xun silently, and he can naturally see the love in Xie Xun's eyes.
"Your Majesty, now that the princess has come to our sphere of influence, you can go over and say hello. I think the princess may not have a drop of water for a day. Even if she goes to bring some water..."
Xie Xun's fists under his sleeves were so strong that he suppressed the idea of agreeing to Ying Er's suggestion.
"No. Since I can't help her personally at this time, I don't want to add to her trouble. Those women are full of tricks, don't let up for a moment."
Xie Xun forced himself to look away.
"Let's go back to camp."
…
the other side.
Qin Rushuang had been worried that Daqi's soldiers would suddenly rush out at this time, making all her hard work in vain, and she was worried all the way.
Fortunately.
Until she reached a hidden corner of the city wall, no one came out to look for her.
Qin Rushuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a secret whistle from her arms.
This secret whistle was given to her by a veteran who had sneaked into Dayan territory before. She spent some time learning how to blow this secret whistle on the road.
Although she was eager to save people, she had no intention of barging in directly.
After all, she didn't understand the gunpowder and mechanisms in the city at all, so she could only try to blow the secret whistle gently.
After blowing three times, there was movement in the city.
Someone in the city also blew this secret whistle.
The sound of this secret whistle was so low that she wouldn't have even heard it if it hadn't been moved by the wind.
The sound was long and short. Qin Rushuang thought for a moment and played the same rhythm.
After a while, a piece of cloth was thrown from the city wall.
Fortunately, Qin Rushuang had learned some Dayan writing from Taoist Lianqing before he decided to go to the border, so he would not be blinded.
What is written on the piece of cloth is that there is an entrance three miles east.
Qin Rushuang followed the instructions and walked three miles east, but what she saw was not the side entrance of the city wall, but a...dog hole that was only as high as a person's knees.
Qin Rushuang has been proud all her life. Where has she ever done such a thing as climbing into a dog hole?
But he was worried about Qian Ertong in the city, so he gritted his teeth and crawled in.
After climbing in, as soon as I looked up, I saw five women holding torches and guarding the entrance of the cave with vigilant faces. They also had weapons in their hands.
Qin Rushuang opened her mouth and her voice was hoarse.
"Sister, I came here secretly from Lalai City."
She spoke Dayan dialect, which she had learned from Taoist Lianqing before, but she was not proficient in it. Fortunately, she had not dared to drink more water for several days and her voice was extremely hoarse, so the women did not notice anything unusual.
But in order not to be discovered, she said nothing else after saying this, waiting to see how they would react.
One of them seemed to be the leading woman, the vigilance in her eyes did not diminish, "What are you doing from there?"
"We have been waiting for several days, but no one from Daqi came. The people from Daqi have been staying outside and refused to enter the city. We have no place to use our gunpowder, so I was sent here to see the situation."
The woman still didn't take a step back to let her in, but still looked at her warily.
He looked at her from head to toe and saw that his face was weathered, his clothes were ragged, and there were blood blisters on his feet. He looked like he had walked for several days.
"There is water in that pool more than twenty miles away from Lalai. Why don't you bring some water? Your voice is too dumb."
Qin Rushuang was startled and secretly afraid in her heart.
Fortunately, she actually walked here, otherwise these people would have tricked her into telling the truth!
"Sister, that pool is about fifteen miles away from this city. Did you remember it wrong?"
"Furthermore, it was dry in autumn, so there wasn't much water in the water pool anymore. It was all muddy water. I used a flint to make a fire and boiled it. I took a few sips. I didn't dare to drink too much for fear of getting upset."
Qin Rushuang said, taking out the water bag from her luggage, opening the water bag in front of the woman, and pouring it out, it turned out to be turbid muddy water.
The woman was silent for a while and ordered her to open her mouth.
Qin Rushuang opened her mouth obediently.
There was still some mud between her teeth and tongue, and her teeth turned yellow. She must have drank the muddy water.
Qin Rushuang was even more vigilant. Fortunately, she took the risk and took a few sips. Although it was difficult to swallow, it came in handy at this moment!
The woman finally nodded, "Come in with me."
Although Qin Rushuang got the permission, she didn't feel relaxed.
Sure enough, as they were walking, the woman asked her casually: "Can you speak Daqi dialect?"
Qin Rushuang replied in a jerky Daqi accent: "Yes, my man boasted to me about Haikou, saying that Dayan will definitely be able to invade Daqi. He has sent troops to Daqi, can speak a few words, and has taught me a few things. That's me
That’s not good to say…”
After Qin Rushuang finished speaking, the pain of losing her husband flashed in her eyes.
After hearing this, the woman finally became less wary of Qin Rushuang.
Her man also said this to her... They used to press forward step by step and beat Daqi to pieces, but now...
The woman laughed miserably.
"Invading Daqi...all our men are dead. We are left struggling to support ourselves, so why talk about occupying Daqi..."
"That's all, come with me."
After the woman finished speaking, she finally brought Qin Rushuang to the place where the woman lived in the city.
They gathered everyone together to live together, and the conditions seemed very difficult.
After arriving at the place, the woman told Qin Rushuang about the situation.
Qin Rushuang sneaked in this time mainly to confirm two things.
One is to rescue the money and the other is to provide communication.
The second is the law of burial of gunpowder and organs.
So after talking for a while, she tentatively said, "There are obviously gunpowder and traps a few steps away from the city gate, but they don't know why they didn't come in. The grandmother who was guarding the city said she was stopped by someone."
The woman said: "We were careless and allowed a Daqi man to escape. They got the news and are now guarding outside the city gate."
Speaking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in the woman's eyes.
"Our end was about to succeed, but the leading woman had already walked outside the city gate, but she was rescued again."
Hearing what she said, Qin Rushuang secretly guessed that the methods of burying gunpowder in the three cities should be the same.
Because what she just said was a situation she had encountered before, the woman did not deny it.
Qin Rushuang pretended to be helpless.
"Then...then what should we do? There isn't much food in the city, and they won't come in. We are determined to die, but they won't be fooled."
The woman waved her hand and said: "Don't panic, we have an important hostage in our hands, who should be the capable person under the leading woman. We will find a way to deal with them."
"Sister, what should I do?"
"You settle down first and then follow my arrangements." After saying that, the woman left.
After the woman left, Qin Rushuang obeyed and ate something as she arranged.
The people on the side had been paying attention to her every move, and felt a little more relieved when they saw that she had eaten Dayan's food without any abnormality.
Qin Rushuang saw that the people around her were less defensive about her, so she found an old woman who seemed quite easy to talk to and talked to her.
"Mom, I want to go out for a while, can you take me out?"
The old woman looked at the person as being honest, and in fact she was indeed honest. After hearing this, she said, "Follow me. Your leader didn't tell you how the gunpowder was buried, right?"
Qin Rushuang nodded, "The leader said that this matter is very important, and he is afraid that someone among us who is greedy for life and fear of death will leak out."
The grandmother looked sad and said: "Yes, you should be more cautious. You come with me. I will only tell you once. Don't make the wrong move in the future. There is gunpowder everywhere in this city. If you take a wrong step and you are killed, that's it."
It’s a life wasted.”
When Qin Rushuang heard this, she became very energetic.
Yu Zaizhong's matter of poisoning and killing the eldest prince was urgent, so he definitely didn't have that much time to arrange the following matters.
Therefore, Qin Rushuang guessed that the gunpowder in the three cities must have been buried according to certain rules, and the rules should be the same in the three cities!
Whether you can figure out this pattern is very important for future attacks!
