Chapter 8 The Deserted Town
That's right!This lonely man riding alone is Ye Chen's partner, the leader of Da Song's spies lurking in the border city of Yongle, and Liu Nan, the capital of the Da Song forbidden army.Ten days ago, he took nine spies to the north to investigate the Khitan military situation, but when he reappeared, he was the only one left.Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also relentlessly hunted down by Liao Bingqi.I don't know what important military situation he inquired about to end up like this.

To the southeast of Yongle Border City, near the Yellow River Wharf, in the nearest deserted village, there are nearly ten thousand refugees who fled from Yongle Border City.A news that makes everyone desperate is circulating among the crowd.

The Yellow River Wharf, as well as the nearby Yellow River line, and all the places where ships can dock, have been occupied by the vanguard of the Liao Army.No one was able to leave through the Yellow River waterway.

These nearly [-] refugees are different from ordinary natural disasters or refugees who lost their homes in wars, and they themselves are not ordinary people.Therefore, although everyone's face was ugly, no one was crying, and there was determination in the expression, and the numbness that was used to similar situations.

And this kind of numbness does not represent their despair, but their strong ability to adapt and adapt to the cruel reality.

After a simple judgment, the vast majority of people have already quickly headed southwest, intending to detour to Guanzhong by land and then enter the Central Plains.Seeing this, some uninitiated people also followed the crowd and fled desperately.

Ye Chen crouched on the tallest and thickest poplar tree in the barren village, took out the binoculars from his backpack, and looked around carefully at 360 degrees.His complexion is getting uglier.

Sure enough, as he expected, not only the Yellow River waterway has been blocked, but also several important and dangerous roads leading to the south have also been blocked by the Liao army.

In this season, the poplar tree had just sprouted young leaves, and it was difficult to block Ye Chen's figure at all.

Ye Chen didn't dare to stay in the tree for a long time, and jumped down from the tree in twos and twos.It was found that nearly ten thousand refugees who came with him had all run away.

At this time, he was the only one left in the entire deserted village, and the silence was terrifying.

The Khitan army blocked the refugees from the border city of Yongle from going to the south. There should be two purposes. One is to prevent the Khitan army from spreading with the refugees.The second is to capture all Yongle refugees as labor to build camps and fortifications.

Escape to the south by either route is clearly not safe now.The best choice in front of him is to hide first, and then leave after the Liao army gets out of the blocked river and land arteries.

Fortunately, the border city of Yongle is surrounded by hundreds of miles of deserted villages and towns. As long as one finds a hidden place to hide, unless tens of thousands of Khitan troops search together, it will be difficult for the Khitan army to find them.

Ye Chen's deserted village is too close to the Khitan's vanguard army stationed at the Yellow River Wharf, so it's not safe.

Therefore, Ye Chen thought about the current situation and made a decision.While running towards a large deserted town more than ten miles away.

The damage to this deserted town was far greater than that of the border town of Yongle. Most of the houses were burned to ashes at some point. Only two or three rows of hundreds of shops and residential buildings beside the North and South Streets remained intact, with broken doors and windows. Collapsing, the desolate scene of overgrown weeds.

At this time, the sun was setting and the moon was rising, and the sky and the earth were dark.

This is not the first time Ye Chen has come to this deserted town. In the past, he secretly purified, filtered, and purified coarse salt by a nearby salt lake, and made it into refined salt without poisonous substances.One set of the tools used is hidden in this deserted town.And sometimes the refined salt is stored in the secret place of the town.

But now, when Ye Chen entered the gloomy long street under the moonlight from the northeast of the town.For some reason, there was a sense of danger in his heart.I have a vague feeling that the town seems to be a little different from before, but I can't tell the specific difference.

Ye Chen stood in the shadow of the long street at the entrance of the town, and was hesitating whether to change to a hiding place. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of hooves behind him. On it, looking north from a height of about two feet.
