Wei Xiyin comforted Wei He and planned to meet Princess Zhongshan.

It is impolite not to meet someone when you enter their home.

Since we have decided to use the power of Zhongshan Kingdom to find our clansmen who are missing, we can't just leave them here forever.

The interior of the granary is very large, with many empty warehouses.

The door of the warehouse where the princess and her cousin lived was guarded by an attendant. After announcing the news, the attendant said respectfully, "The princess invites the young lady in."

Wei Xiyin nodded, "Thank you."

The warehouse was specially arranged to separate two living rooms and a tea room. Due to limited conditions, the materials used were almost all wooden boards and cloth strips found on the spot.

It looks a bit shabby.

Princess Zhongshan and Cui Erniang were sitting beside the table.

Seeing her come in, the princess asked softly, "Miss, you are here again, but what happened outside?"

Wei Xiyin saluted and sat down opposite her. She didn't hide it from her, "It was the villagers nearby who caused trouble and attacked the cousins ​​who were transporting grain."

It was only at this time that the princess learned that the person transporting the grain was a young man from the Wei family. The girl called him "Tang", which was also a subtle way of revealing his true identity to her.

Cui Erniang sat aside in silence. Ever since she was frightened by the princess and knew that her parents were probably in danger, she had to put away her temper if she wanted to survive.

"How does that girl plan to deal with those troublemakers?" The princess asked softly, "I remember that the girl captured those prisoners because the fortress was short of manpower."

Wei Xiyin replied without hesitation: "Even if we are short of people, we can't recruit just anyone. If they kill my people, they won't even be qualified to be prisoners."

First, find out the purpose of those people and why they are targeting the Wei family. Then, we can naturally take revenge and settle grievances.

Leaving those people behind would only be a hidden danger.

"By the way, are you used to living here, my lady?" Wei Xiyin remained calm. "If you need anything, just tell the guards and they'll bring it to you next time."

To pick up people and go to the fort, we have to transport all the food first, and we have only transported less than half of it now.

Cui Erniang's face flushed red upon hearing this. This young lady from the Wei family was truly ignorant of etiquette. The princess, despite her noble status, was assigned to guard the granary by her. Cui Erniang was about to speak out to rebuke her, but when she turned her head and met the princess's gaze, her words were immediately blocked in her throat and she lost her voice.

The princess calmly withdrew her gaze and patiently replied to Wei Xiyin, "Thank you for your concern, young lady. Everything is fine here now. The women have prepared everything, so there is no shortage for the time being."

Wei Xiyin nodded when she heard this. "That's good. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you from resting."

With that, she stood up, said goodbye and left.

The Princess Zhongshan was also a smart person. She knew when to advance and when to retreat, and could bend and stretch. However, sometimes her ideas were too simple, which might be related to her growing environment.

She has a noble status and has been pampered since childhood. As the only legitimate daughter of the King of Zhongshan, she is highly loved. It is normal for her to be overly naive.

Wei Xiyin couldn't help but sigh that there are still many smart people in this world.

…

Ji Yao and others lived in the warehouse on the other side.

I heard that another group of troops came today.

The servant beside him asked hesitantly, "Sir, should we go out and take a look?"

"What are you looking at?" Ji Yao touched his stomach, feeling hungry, and said dissatisfiedly, "There are so many grains in the granary, and they won't let me eat more. I won't look at them anymore."

The captain said in the letter that the group of people were from the Qinghe Wei family. They were now helping with work at the Wei family and could not leave, so he asked Ji Yao to take people to the fort to find him.

Ji Yao certainly knew the Qinghe Wei family, the only aristocratic family in Qinghe County that was known by the world as a prefecture. In the past, even when his father met members of the Wei family, he was always polite.

But he didn't expect that Wei was so stingy. He was only given one bowl of rice while guarding the granary, which was not enough to fill him up.

Ji Yao felt very aggrieved and wondered whether he should go out and find something to eat while it was still dark.

But taking something without asking is stealing. How could he, the son of a county magistrate, do such a thing?

There was no other way, he could only lie down with his hands on his stomach and his eyes closed.

As long as he fell asleep, he wouldn't be hungry. This is how he got through the past few days.

The next day.

Until I wake up in the morning.

Wei Xiyin only then realized that there was another group of people in the granary.

Breakfast had just been prepared and she had just come out of the rest area when she saw a bunch of strangers who had appeared out of nowhere queuing up to get their meals.

She looked at Cao Awang speechlessly, wondering why he didn't report such an important matter to her.

Cao Awang was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly explained: "My lady, these people are here to look for the yamen soldiers, and I thought you knew about it." After all, the lady asked Li Langjun to bring a letter.

Wei Xiyin waved her hand and said, "This won't happen again." How could it work if her subordinates thought she knew everything and didn't report everything to her in time?

Cao Awang responded in a low voice.

There was a long line of people waiting to get food not far away, and Ji Yao, who was standing in the front, was too conspicuous. His physique, which was as big as two men, and his chubby body were too eye-catching.

Seeing a fat man in the end times is rarer than finding water in the desert.

Wei Xiyin was curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The little fat boy seemed to have noticed something. He silently took out a small mirror from his arms and began to tidy up his appearance in front of the mirror for some unknown reason.

Wei Xiyin: “…” He is still a narcissistic fat man.

Cao Awang had just done something wrong, and seeing this, he hurriedly said, "My lady, that is Mr. Ji from the County Magistrate's Mansion."

Well, at first, seeing those yamen soldiers were so loyal, I thought the "big brother" they were talking about was a handsome young man, but it turns out...

Wei Xiyin quickly stopped him and said, "Don't judge a book by its cover. The little fat boy looks quite cute."

Had breakfast.

Chang Ying and Qin Shan have already organized the team and are just waiting for the girl's orders.

Wei Lang insisted on going with him.

Wei Xiyin did not refuse. His skills were getting better and better, and he had the ability to protect himself, so he no longer needed her to worry about him.

After leaving a team of soldiers to guard the granary, a group of people went out to search for the whereabouts of that group of people.

After arriving at Changlan Village, the guards began to check the footprints left on the ground and traces along the way.

Zhou Yongfu said, "Miss, from what I saw, they were heading in the direction of the official road."

Wei Xiyin nodded, "It could also be a trick. We'll know when we go over there and take a look."

This group of people targeted the Wei family with a purpose. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, transporting grain will become very dangerous, which may cause a big trouble in the future.

She brought people here not only to avenge her own people, but also to nip the danger in the bud.

The guards soon discovered traces of trampled grass along the way, and everyone followed the footprints all the way to the official road.

The closer you get to Xincheng, the more zombies there are nearby.

Everyone had experience and it seemed that Xincheng City had been broken and some survivors had escaped.

"No need to chase, they won't be in Xincheng." Wei Xiyin stared at the zombies running towards them. "The road ahead has obviously not been cleared. It's impossible for someone to pass through here without leaving any traces."

At least there will be a few zombies on the ground, but there is nothing in front.

Zhou Yongfu and his men were fooled.

Wei Xiyin sneered. It seemed that the person behind the scenes was very good at using strategies.
