In the next few days, the atmosphere in Lingquan Town became more solemn.

  Because the effect of government conscription was not obvious, the yamen issued a document and began to force the people to perform military service.

  Song Que was also listed because he had no fame.

   Fortunately, the quota for military service can be paid for.

After    handed over fifteen taels of silver, Song Que got out.

   This is really hard for the Qin family, the Wang family and the Liu family, each of which has a quota for military service.

  Especially the Qin family and the Liu family, each of which was also assigned two places.

   Fortunately, several families are diligent. I made some money by approving Qin Xiaoyao's bean sprouts for sale before.

   In addition to the money I have saved for a while, I finally got the money for exemption from military service.

   But as soon as the money was paid, the families became poor again.

   Especially the Wang family.

  Wang Dashan took Wang Laoshuan to rent the house of the Liu family. Because of making some money, the original plan was to work hard and save money to buy a small yard.

   Now, he took out fifteen taels of silver at once, instantly shattering Wang Dashan's hopes.

   Fortunately, he is now working as a shopkeeper in Qin Xiaoyao's newly opened porridge shop in the west of the city, and his salary is not low.

   In addition, the porridge shop is doing well right now, and he can still get some bonuses.

  Wang Dashan is still full of hope for the future.

   Another five days passed.

   In the increasingly tense situation, the Liao army finally entered Hua'an House.

   For a while, Lingquan Town became panic-stricken.

   Pedestrians on the street are walking faster than usual, and households are no longer as happy to go out as before.

  The business of the Song family porridge shop has cooled down.

   And at Lingyun Academy, the scholars were even more irritable than before.

After the    Yamen came forward to arrest two people, not only did the momentum not contain, but a violent conflict broke out.

   On this day, something happened.

  Qin Xiaoyao arrives to pick up Song Que and Song Ye from school, but has not waited for Song Que.

   It was only later that I learned that Song Que was carried out of the city by a group of people.

   had a bad premonition in his heart, Qin Xiaoyao forced himself to calm down, then drove the carriage and sent Song Ye home first.

After   , he unloaded the carriage and rode his horse, ready to go out of the city to find Song Que.

   As a result, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he found that the city gate was closed.

   "The county magistrate has ordered that the city gates will be closed for three days. For the next three days, no one may leave Lingquan Town." Facing a large crowd of people crowding the gate preparing to leave the city, a police official said loudly.

   At the same time, another officer next to the officer went to the side and posted a notice.

   Qin Xiaoyao frowned and followed some people to read the notice.

   Only then did we know that many people were fleeing because of the news that the Liao army had invaded Hua'an House.

   The county magistrate ordered to close the city gate in order to preserve the population of Lingquan Town and protect the people in the city.

   The notice said that the city gates would be closed for three days.

   But these three days are obviously just a rhetoric.

   After three days, if the Liao army does not retreat, there will be another three days.

  If the Liao army comes, I am afraid that within three days, Lingquan Town will be destroyed.

   Right now, no matter what the outcome is, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to survive alone.

  Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyao quickly pushed away the person blocking him and went to find the officer who just spoke.

  The officials naturally knew Qin Xiaoyao, and because Song Que worked in the yamen before, he also had some friendship with Song Que.

   "I'm afraid it's not good. If it was really captured with those scholars, I'm afraid that I've already been sent to the front line." After listening to Qin Xiaoyao's description, the officer said solemnly.

   "Scholars in Lingyun Academy are making trouble, not this time."

   "Master County Zun is also annoyed. This time, he simply sent all the troublemakers out of the city so that they could be used for military service."

   "This time the imperial court recruited a large number of soldiers. There are also several places to go."

   "Now, Mrs. Qin, even if you go out to the city to look for it, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it." Having said this, there was sympathy in the eyes of the police officer.

   "Furthermore, even if someone is found, Young Master Song is afraid that he has already entered the military and will not be able to bring him back."

   The more Qin Xiaoyao listened, the more his heart sank.

   Her husband, a literati, who had no power to restrain a chicken, was actually arrested as a strong man.

   Life in the army, how can he bear it?

   Also, on the battlefield, how can he be the opponent of those ferocious Liao soldiers? !

   panicked in his heart, Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly touched the money from his pocket.

   "Brother Zhang, please make it easy and let me go out to find my husband. When I find my husband, I will be very grateful!" Qin Xiaoyao didn't even look at the purse, so he stuffed it into the hands of the police officer.

  The officer refused.

   "Really not!"

   "Ms. Qin, Lord Xianzun has already ordered. Once the city gate is closed, no one is allowed to leave the city."

   "If I let you out of the city, my clothes will be stripped off."

   Seeing Qin Xiaoyao still pleading, the officer was very sympathetic.

   "Furthermore, if you leave the city at this time, not only will you not be able to save Young Master Song, but you will also be in danger."

   "You better go home quickly. In case the Liao army calls, and Young Master Song is not here, the whole family can only count on you at that time."

   Qin Xiaoyao's heart sank.

   glanced at the city gate, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

   Xianggong must be rescued, but she can't just leave rashly.

   Before she left, she had to settle the house.

After    left the city gate, Qin Xiaoyao did not return directly to the Song family.

   Instead, he went to the Qin family first.

  Because of the accident in the city, the Qin family, father and son, were all there.

   Seeing Qin Xiaoyao coming back with a pale complexion, the father and son quickly surrounded him.

  Qin Xiaoyao quickly told about Song Que, and also said her decision, she was going to find Song Que.

   Qin's father and son listened, each with a solemn expression.

   Qin Dazhuang hesitated to speak, and wanted to persuade his daughter, but he was unable to speak.

  He, being a father, witnessed with his own eyes the girl's affection for her son-in-law.

   Over the past year, the niece finally warmed the heart of the son-in-law, and the young couple lived a sweet life.

   Now that such a thing has happened to the son-in-law, how can the daughter-in-law stay at home and wait for news regardless?

   Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu have similar thoughts, both with tangled and complicated expressions.

   "Yaomei—" In the end, Qin Dahu still spoke.

   He only shouted two words, but was stopped by Qin Xiaoyao's eyes.

   "Brother, if you persuade, you don't have to say it."

   "Xiang Gong's safety, for me, is above all else. I must go find him."

   Seeing that the father and son were all silent, Qin Xiaoyao said again: "I came here to ask for your help."

   "The Song family, we'll take care of you." Qin Dazhuang said.

  Since they can't stop the girl, they can only let her go without worries.

   "Well! Younger sister, we are here!" Qin Erhu followed.

   Qin Dahu looked confused, but nodded.

   Yaomei is gone, they will definitely help take care of the Song family.

   A touch of emotion appeared in Qin Xiaoyao's eyes.

   "Thank you dad, eldest brother and second brother!" said quickly.

   As he said that, he was about to kneel down.

   Qin Dahu quickly supported his daughter.

   "What is this for?!"
