Qingyan said to Li Hao: "I'll ask Chou Chou to follow them and take a look. If they come back then, you still have to hide.
But I see that they are not the kind who kill innocent people indiscriminately. Are they really here to hunt you down? How did you mess with them? "
Qingyan asked pretending not to know anything.
In fact, Chou Chou had already told her what she had overheard what they said, but now she could only pretend not to know and ask.
Li Hao thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to say, so he said to Qingyan: "It doesn't count as a pursuit, my father and the other party belong to two camps, and there are many confrontations in the court.
This time Shi Jingtang suddenly let the Khitans enter the pass. My father was fighting against the enemy and wanted to surrender, so my father had to return to the capital to report to the Holy Master.
As a result, the other party used a trick to capture my father, hoping to swallow up my father's soldiers and horses.
We came out to find someone to save our father. Unexpectedly, the other party knew our plan and set an ambush there.
Fortunately, Wang Kun saw the flaw in advance and saw through their ambush, so we left first. Unexpectedly, the other party was still pursuing us.
The other party probably didn't want to rob and kill us, but they just wanted to prevent me from asking for help. They probably wanted to arrest us and threaten my two brothers.
I don’t know what they were thinking, but they actually allowed the foreigners to enter the pass. Once the Khitans occupied the Sixteenth Province of Youyun, we would have no chance of winning again if we tried to recapture them. "
Seeing the angry look on his face at the end of his words, Qingyan nodded, thinking to herself, that's not true. If the Khitan people weren't used to living without sheep, the capital would belong to them.
She was relieved in her heart. It would be nice if Li Hao and the other party were not the kind of people who would fight to the death, so they would be a little safer.
I can't blame the three of them. Although they looked like they were running away in a panic, they didn't look like they were in a very urgent, life-or-death situation.
As for the Khitan people, Qingyan said to Li Hao, "If they act like this, your father's opponents will seek peace. Aren't you afraid of seeking skin from a tiger?"
Li Hao sighed and said: "Those Khitans are probably harassing people in remote areas, and they should not dare to bully the soldiers guarding the city too blatantly.
After all, orders had been issued from above to open the city gates and let them in. If they dared to go too far with the sergeants, they would be afraid of causing rebellion and suffering a revolt in their hearts.
Of course, their bullying of the people should not be blatant. They probably won't touch the people in the city. They only bully people like Lanhua and others. Some remote towns and villages are more unlucky.
Those who have status above will be treated well, and some are wealthy businessmen who are greedy for life and afraid of death. No one will care about these small soldiers. Everyone in Yangjiaping is also unlucky to meet such a group of people who come out to fight against the autumn wind. "
After hearing this, Qingyan felt that their escape route could be shortened. Since the other party would not touch the people in the big city, they could just find a big city to live in.
It would probably be difficult to travel to remote places outside the city, so we still have to go into the city.
It might not be realistic for them to settle down in the city, but now there is a ready-made opportunity in front of them.
Li Hao's second brother is Handeng's defense, and they can seek each other's protection.
Originally, if she really wanted to walk slowly to Luoyang, she might have to leave halfway. If she was looking for a random city and couldn't get in, her first choice now would of course be Li Hao's second brother.
Handeng is not far from here, just a short walk away from the mountain. Even if the Khitan people come, they don't dare to do anything too blatantly there. It is best to entrust these people to him.
Qingyan thought about it and felt that there should be no problem. After all, although the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms changed quickly, some famous generals and veterans had not survived for several generations.
It's chaos now, but at least there won't be no shelter anywhere. This can be considered an advantage.
After the Song Dynasty was established, it could still calm down for a while. The really difficult times were in the last years of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.
Of course, no dynasty is actually very friendly to the people at the bottom.
For example, the Ming Dynasty encountered the Little Ice Age, which was full of disasters and was really uncomfortable.
Thinking about it this way, Qingyan no longer had the same sense of urgency as before.
And knowing that the lives of these three people may not be in danger, I felt relieved.
I thought that I still need to establish a good relationship with Li Hao so that he can take care of everyone in Yangjiaping.
Thinking of this, Jiayin suddenly thought of another thing. They didn't seem to encounter anyone from Yangjiaping or other villages along the way. Where had the villagers from these villages gone?
The mountain road they took should not only be known to Yang Dashan, but when they walked over, it was obvious that no one had walked on it for a long time.
Didn’t those people also go into the mountains? Didn't you run in this direction?
Qingyan guessed correctly. Not only did those people not run in this direction, to be precise, those people didn't run at all. When they reached a valley on the mountain, they just stayed there.
Originally, they wanted to escape and go south. Later, they walked and came to a valley full of birds and flowers. There was water, wild fruits and wild animals in it. It was better than being in the village.
Thinking that they had never been out, had no idea what the way forward was, and had no goals. In addition, it was difficult to leave their homeland, so they just stopped there.
We have food, drink and a place to live. We plan to live there for a while and then return to the village before the weather cools down. The war disaster should be over by then.
This place is in a remote area, and those Khitan people cannot stay here for too long.
To say that they are quite smart, the Khitans are indeed just passing by, and their real targets are the various state capitals.
And there are very few people passing by here. Most of them come from the main road, and not many people come here at all.
So when Qingyan and the others walked south, those people were still staying in the valley. It was fine at first, but as time went on, many conflicts arose.
After all, people from several villages are crowded there, and there is no food in the valley, so fruit prey is limited.
Originally, there were not many wild animals here, unlike in the mountains in the south.
In addition, there are so many of them and they are noisy all day long. Even if there are wild animals, they will be scared by them and run away overnight, so they will soon be unable to eat.
Now it has been divided into two groups quarreling. Half of the people want to return to the village to live, at least there is still wheat to harvest in the fields.
The other half were afraid that the Khitans had not left yet and wanted to stay for a while, since there were still a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains anyway.
Of course, they didn't know about Qingyan, and they were currently discussing how to avoid the pursuing soldiers in the future.
