Chapter 579 Opening the City Gate

Northern Border, Jinyang

"Prince, this is it." Ma Jin looked around and confirmed that this was the burial place of General Qin Yue.

When the second master buried the general here, he marked it. This mark was the yellow stone in front of him that could not be buried even by heavy snow.

Ma Jin stepped aside. After the general died in battle, the second master originally planned to carry the coffin back to Chang'an. But not long after, the Qin family was convicted, and the second master had to find a place to bury the general.

Fortunately, when the general was buried, there was no fanfare and a sleight of hand was used, otherwise the general's tomb would have been ruined by the Xianbei barbarians.

In fact, the fact that Qin Yue's tomb could be safe and sound was also related to the help of a very small number of local people who knew about it. They were all grateful for the protection of the northern border by the Qin family army for generations, and they silently protected the tomb of General Qin Yue and did not let anyone disturb his peace.

Qin Heng took three sticks of incense and told his father about the changes that had taken place in the Qin family in the past few years while offering incense. He also told his father about the relocation of the grave.

"Dad, after you died, the Qin family was exiled to Pingzhou by order."

"It was also our Qin family's fate that was not to be extinct. You should know that the Song family forced the marriage of Lv Desheng's second daughter, Xie Zhan's fiancée, to Xiaoliu."

"Thanks to her, our Qin family is safe and the children are growing up."

"Your daughter-in-law is now the master of Pingzhou. The sons of the Qin family are working hard to assist her to resist the Xianbei and Hu tribes and strive for a safe habitat for the Han people behind them."

"Pingzhou is a good place, you will like it. When you move there, we will live close and your family can visit you often."

"Is it the prince Qin?" A trembling voice asked tentatively.

Qin Heng turned around and saw an old man looking at them with tears in his eyes.

The old man was a commoner living nearby. In fact, since they appeared, the old man began to quietly pay attention to the movements here.

Qin Heng and his guards knew about the movements of these small animals.

Qin Heng nodded slightly at him.

"I knew it must be the descendants of the Qin family." As he said that, the old man took two steps forward and pointed out the most accurate location for them, "General Qin's tomb is on the west side of this big yellow stone."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The old man waved his hands repeatedly.

They would secretly come to worship General Qin every New Year.

On the one hand, let General Qin enjoy some incense from the world, and on the other hand, they also hoped that General Qin's spirit in heaven could bless the land of the northern border.

In the past two years, their lives have been really hard. They miss the time when General Qin was still there.

"Prince Qin, are you going to move General Qin's tomb?" When the guards took action, the old man saw it and felt panic in his heart.

"Yes, our Qin family has settled in Pingzhou now. So I want to move my father's grave there."

"Of course, of course."

The grave was soon dug up, and Qin Heng personally buried his father's bones.

The old man never left.

Before leaving, Qin Heng told the old man, "Old man, the city gate will be opened in three days. If you want to leave the northern border, take this opportunity to leave."

The old man was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, "Won't the people of the Xianbei royal court stop us?"

"No."

"Prince Qin, can I tell others?"

"Yes."

"Can we go to Pingzhou?" the old man asked cautiously.

"Yes. If you can successfully arrive in Pingzhou, each household can also get five taels of silver from the government office to settle down."

The old man heard this and immediately made a decision in his heart to go to Pingzhou. He must go to Pingzhou!

"Remember, the city gate will only be open for three days."

The old man understood that if he wanted to leave, he should hurry up.

On the way out, Qin Heng and his team encountered a scene of Xianbei soldiers robbing a woman in a secluded place.

The robbed person was a pair of siblings. Four or five Xianbei barbarians, one of them was holding the girl, while the other three or four were beating and kicking the young man.

Qin Heng made a signal, and Ma Jin nodded. He arranged for the people to disperse first to prevent anyone from walking this way. He himself led a dozen people to surround them.

Not long after, all the Xianbei soldiers were buried underground, and the siblings were saved.

As the siblings insisted on asking, they learned that Ma Jin and others were Pingzhou soldiers, and the news that the city gate would be opened in three days.

This news was spread by people with ulterior motives, and spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In addition, the red notices posted by Pingzhou soldiers at the city gates and various places where people gathered, and those who knew rushed to tell the news, the people in both places were agitated.

"It's the Qin Army, the Qin Army is back!"

"Not back, but to pick us up!"

"Hurry up and pack up, the city gate will open soon!"

The northern border and Pingzhou, one is in the northeasternmost part of Dali, and the other is in the northwestmost part. The mountains are high and the roads are long, so it is difficult to spread news. In addition, the court and the Xianbei royal court intentionally or unintentionally blocked them, so the people in the two places knew very little about Pingzhou.

If it weren't for the Pingzhou soldiers' propaganda in Liangzhou and Liangzhou in the northern border, the people in the two places would not know that Pingzhou and Xianbei had negotiated such a condition.

Even the two days before leaving were not peaceful.

Xianbei soldiers often broke into the homes of the people and robbed them, and all the valuables were taken away by them. If the people dared to resist, they would beat them up.

After these things happened and spread, the people learned to pack up their valuables before leaving home.

Those robbers broke into the house and robbed whatever they wanted, as they wished.

Finally, the agreed day arrived, and the gates of the two places opened as scheduled.

The common people had been waiting for a long time, and from a distance, it was a sea of ​​black people.

Under the organization of those who cared, they also lined up spontaneously.

At all the major city gates, the situation was exactly the same.

At present, the highest person in charge of the Northern Border and Liangzhou is Tuoba Jin, and the general stationed in the two places is Dugu Zhong.

For such a big thing, the two naturally have to be in charge at the city gate.

Ever since they received Tuoba Khan's handwritten order, the two expected that there would be many people leaving, but they never expected that there would be so many.

The faces of the two people were not good.

Qin Heng brought people here.

Both sides occupied one side.

Seeing Qin Heng, Tuoba Jin and Dugu Zhong suppressed their thoughts.

Forget it, let these people leave. This time they were inexperienced, and after occupying the Northern Border and Liangzhou, they made the people miserable.

Now the people in the two places are very uncooperative with their governance and are not very active in their work. In addition, the people in the northern border and Liangzhou are more sturdy than those in the Central Plains, and conflicts with their Xianbei soldiers often occur.

Next time, they must pay attention.

When the time came, the city gate slowly opened, and the people began to leave the city in an orderly manner.

Originally, there should be no inspection at this time, but the Xianbei city gate guards were greedy. When they saw the rich families going out, they would stop them and say they wanted to search.

The people who were stopped dared not to be angry.

Ma Jin and others noticed it at the first time and walked over directly.

Snap! Ma Jin whipped the Xianbei guard with a whip and whipped him away.

"What are you doing?"

"Should I ask you what you want to do? Let you release people in an orderly manner! Why, it’s not enough to search once before releasing people, and you come a second time. Do you think our Pingzhou soldiers are dead!"

The change of the city gate made everyone look at Qin Heng and Tuoba Jin.

The city gate general was anxious and angry, "Second Prince, General Dugu, are we going to let them be so arrogant?"

The city gate general spoke loudly, and Qin Heng looked at them with a deep gaze.

Tuoba Jin was furious. He was abandoned by Qin Sheng. Now he has no martial arts value at all and has been deprived of the qualification of heir, so his father Khan was relieved to hand over the northern border Liangzhou to him.

How could he not hate Pingzhou and the Qin family? He wanted to eat their flesh alive in his dreams.

And the behavior of the Pingzhou soldiers was a slap in the face of the Xianbei royal court.

Dugu Zhong suppressed him, "Second Prince, don't forget the Khan's order! In addition, the captives of the Buyeo clan are still in Pingzhou's hands..." This is the key to controlling them Xianbei.

And seeing Qin Heng's fearless appearance, could it be that he has something extraordinary to rely on? Dugu Zhong muttered in his heart.

Snap! Tuoba Jin slapped the gatekeeper in the face, "Just open the gate when I told you to, and let the people go. It's unnecessary to tell you to do that!"

The gatekeeper covered his face, "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

After that, he shouted to his subordinates, "Did you hear me? Let them go!"

"Yes!" These Xianbei gatekeepers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

This scene made the eyes of the originally numb people suddenly light up. The Qin family army was the only one who could control these Xianbei barbarians.
