Time flies.

The day of departure arrived almost in the blink of an eye.

To avoid attracting excessive attention from the people, they will set out directly from the county town this time.

Wei Xiyin needs to go to the county town one day in advance to make arrangements.

Before leaving.

She went to the main courtyard to pay her respects and say goodbye to her grandfather.

Wei Ji sat cross-legged at the head, his expression calm, "Will Erlang go with you?"

Wei Xiyin replied, "My granddaughter has already made arrangements. Erlang will be allowed to stay in the fort. The fort also needs people to stay."

By the time the child comes out of the institute, I guess everyone will have left.

This is also the reason why she kept Chang Ying.

Someone needs to be responsible for the security of Ling County. Erlang has a simple mind and is quite strong in fighting, so it is safer to leave him at home.

Qin Shancai had just returned and was not good at coaxing children, so Chang Ying was more suitable.

Wei Ji nodded when he heard this. "Then you can lead the troops with peace of mind. I'll take care of the fort, and your uncles can also handle it. There won't be any chaos."

Wei Xiyin kowtowed to her grandfather and said, "Grandfather, don't worry. Your granddaughter will definitely return safely."

The old man didn't say anything, but Wei Xiyin knew that her grandfather must be worried about her safety.

Wei Ji sighed, "Not just you, but also Ming Yuan, Wei Ling, Wei Li, and the soldiers of my Wei clan. Grandfather naturally hopes that you all return safely."

Wei Xiyin looked serious and responded solemnly.

Ningshuang had already packed her bag, which was the same backpack she had used before, with some of her daily necessities in it.

Uncle Wu, Ningshuang, and the servants of the family accompanied her all the way to the door of the old house.

Uncle Wu and his men bowed and said, "May the young lady return triumphantly."

Wei Xiyin waved at them and strode away.

She walked very quietly and didn't even attract attention in the tribe.

On the way, she met a few tribesmen. Seeing that she was carrying a bag on her back, they greeted her tacitly, just like when they met her in the fort every day, calmly and kindly.

Wei Xiyin responded with a smile one by one.

Walk out of the dock.

Chu Yu and Cookie were already waiting at the gate.

This trip requires a lot of explosives. It would be safest to let Cookie be responsible for the mixing of explosives, ambush, and logistics, so naturally he has to go with them.

Plus Wei Mingyuan and Qin Shan.

One general, one commander, and two counselors.

Wei Xiyin was very satisfied with this configuration.

As soon as they saw the girl come out, everyone walked towards the county town together.

Cookie said as he walked, "Shilin Village has been properly arranged. The Feng brothers are very useful. I think they will be fine even without me. Oh, and I think the newly developed explosive girls haven't seen the power yet. I brought some with me this time, but the quantity is not too much, so I can only use it in a critical moment."

"Actually, I came back yesterday. Everything is fine at home. My brother wanted to see you for something, but since you are so busy and about to go to war, I didn't want to bother you with such a small matter..."

Wei Xiyin felt strange, "Master Qu, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Yeah, my brother didn't let me say it originally, but..."

Wei Xiyin interrupted him immediately, "What Mr. Qu said must be a trivial matter, so let's not talk about it."

Cookie glanced at her with resentment in his eyes and continued, "But after thinking it over, I realize that even though you're busy, you still have to pay attention to your child's education. I heard that you had someone make a small weapon for Wen Kang, and he brought it to school a few days ago to show off, and even took it out in class..."

"Lord Wei and Chief Steward Wu are old, and Mr. Erlang is still a child. This matter can only be discussed with the girl."

Wei Xiyin's body suddenly froze. This was indeed the case. At the beginning, she saw Wen Kang was very envious of Gu Qiu's small long tassel spear, and promised that he would be praised by Qu Shanchang, so she ordered someone to make a small weapon for him.

She handed the matter over to a squad leader to arrange, and then did not ask about it again because she was too busy.

Wei Xiyin changed her attitude and said in shame, "Wen Kang was wrong in this matter. How could he bring weapons into the classroom? When I return, I will personally apologize to Principal Qu. I will definitely educate the child well. Principal Qu, please do not worry and discipline him strictly."

Why does it feel like the school called my parents in for a study?

Cookie shook his head repeatedly. "A child's education is very important. You have to know that Wenkang is the young master of the Wei family. He has you and the old patriarch behind him. No one in the fort dares to mess with him. If he is not properly educated, he will develop a lawless character in the future, which will be difficult to correct."

Wei Xiyin suddenly lost her momentum, and nodded in agreement from time to time, asking Cookie for advice on parenting sincerely.

There are old people and young children in the family, and she seems to be the only one who is responsible for education and cultural and health care.

But we have to wait until she comes back.

I just hope the child will be well behaved and won’t be too embarrassed to hold her head up in front of Principal Qu when she comes back.

Chu Yu stood aside as if it had nothing to do with him.

He has no children, so he can't say anything about this topic.

But what about the girl? She is an unmarried young lady who has to lead troops to fight and kill zombies outside, and take care of the children when she returns home.

There are still two people in the group, Wei Lang and Wei Wenkang.

Even Chu Yu felt that being a girl was not easy.

On the way to the county town, all I could do was listen to Cookie talking endlessly about parenting. Everyone behind him was silent, and only the girl listened very seriously, hardly seeming to be annoyed by Mr. Biscuit's noise.

Wei Mingyuan led his subordinates to the county town one day in advance to make arrangements.

The Wei family army and the Wei clan troops were already ready to go, and the military supplies had been counted a few days ago.

The four hundred Zhongshan soldiers looked solemn and had already taken their positions under the leadership of Yuanwu.

Only when we reached the gate of the county town did Cookie stop talking.

Wei Mingyuan was standing at the gate of the military camp, his back straight and his expression calm, listening to his subordinates' reports.

Wei Ling and Wei Li were standing behind him.

Seeing Wei Xiyin coming with her men, Shi Le, who was reporting the situation, quickly glanced in her direction without stopping talking.

Shi Le: "...the military supplies and fodder are all ready. We can set off anytime tomorrow."

Wei Xiyin: “…” The love came too late, and it just felt lonely to hear it.

She doesn't care either.

The pre-war arrangements had already been discussed in detail, including the topographic map of Zhongren County and various deployments. The key to taking Zhongren County still lies with the Princess of Zhongshan.

The more people she recruited to surrender, the fewer people died.

There is a military book saying: The enemy is the one who makes the enemy eat.

Cannibalizing the enemy to expand oneself is just a different stance.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiyin asked the people around her, "Why haven't I seen Princess Zhongshan?"

The people behind him all shook their heads.

Qin Shan said: "I don't know."

Wei Xiyin nodded. It was still early and they would set off tomorrow. The princess must have known about such an important matter.

The temperature is very high today. It is already the end of August, when the temperature is the highest.

Not to mention Wei Xiyin and others who had just walked over, even the soldiers standing in the shade were sweating a lot.

Wei Mingyuan glanced at the younger generations and said, "It's too hot outside, let's all go inside and talk."

The granaries and military supplies are ready, and the soldiers are ready for battle.

Everything is ready, just waiting to set off tomorrow.
