Ancient Zombie Apocalypse: Leading Her Clan to Dominate

Wei Xiyin transmigrated, reincarnating as the legitimate daughter of a noble aristocratic family. She originally thought she held the script for a family drama, but who would have thought she would...

Chapter 262: Suppressing Zhongshan (XII)

Xiang Qi and five other followers carried the sacrificial offerings and followed the princess to the mausoleum to pay homage.

The people below were busy choosing a place to spend the night.

This busy work lasted until the evening.

The sunset glow emerged and dispersed into golden light. The sunlight that was about to sink in the red glow turned into strange colors. Layer by layer of light and color, the sunset slowly disappeared.

The top of the mountain is bare, and the mountain road under your feet is affected by the scorching sun, with a layer of yellow sand appearing on the surface. Dust flies when you walk, and dead grass and trees are everywhere.

The soldiers quickly chose a place to set up camp.

Before the burial of the old prince, the old princess, and the envoy, Zhongshan State had cleaned up Huangli Mountain and built defensive fortifications around the mountain.

But it had been a long time, and many of the chevaux de frise stakes had been exposed to the scorching sun, the wood had become rotten, and the ropes tied on them had broken, becoming extremely loose and would fall apart with the slightest effort.

On the other side of the mountain is Songzi County, which has not been cleaned up, unlike Zhongren County where there are no monsters.

General Chen was very cunning. He led his troops to occupy the safer areas on three sides, leaving only the hillside on the Songzi County side for the palace guard camp.

By the time the centurion reacted, the soldiers on the right vanguard had already run to the other three sides and started setting up camp. There was no one guarding the hillside on the Songzi County side.

The guard battalion is His Highness's confidant and has a high status. They stay in the palace all day and do not need to do heavy work, nor do they need to go out of the city to face monsters.

For a moment, they were slow to react and were tricked by the right vanguard camp.

The centurion glared at General Chen angrily, but said nothing in the end. He led his troops to the other side of the mountain helplessly.

Protecting the princess's safety is the order of His Highness, and it is their duty. The Right Vanguard Battalion is only here temporarily. If anything happens to the princess, they may only be slightly punished, but they will definitely not survive.

I thought that with three hundred people following them, the guard camp would have an easier time, but what happened?

The group of people left indignantly with fire in their eyes.

I was so angry that I almost forgot to bring food.

It was Qin Shan who pointed to the two carts of food beside him and reminded them, "Have you forgotten something?"

No one noticed that his hand hidden in his sleeve was holding a few used prescription papers in his palm.

The centurion thanked them in a stiff tone, and the group left with the food.

Wait for the area to be marked out for rest at night.

The princess hasn't come out yet.

The camps everywhere had to set up pots and cook first.

Because they were offering sacrifices to the old prince and princess, Yuan Sanlang was extremely generous. He brought enough food and complete offerings. When the soldiers opened the bag and saw the full bag of food, their eyes widened.

The three hundred soldiers of the right vanguard camp praised the general for his wisdom. No wonder he followed them. Finally, they could have a full meal.

Wei Xiyin pulled Wei Li and shamelessly stayed with General Chen.

Her boxes were carried up, and the palace servants were sweating profusely and were so tired that they could not straighten their backs.

No one knew what was in Madam Wei's boxes. Each box was very heavy. To avoid bumps, the palace maids did not dare to put the boxes down halfway and walked all the way to the middle of the mountain in one go.

As a result, I just put down the box.

Wei Xiyin ordered the palace servants to help her set up a tent for the night, making them run around in circles.

She sat leisurely on a box, pointing at the palace servants, "Can't you see it's almost dark? Hurry up and set up the tent."

"How clumsy! I should have taken a few servants with me when I went out. Who would have known that such a large country like Zhongshan would not even have a servant who could read people's expressions? It's even worse than our Wei Clan Fortress."

"Oh, by the way, my tent has to be next to the princess's. It has to be big. A small tent won't hold all this luggage. If anything gets stolen if we leave it outside, the princess will kill you."

Qin Shan stayed by his girl's side and pinched his thighs until they were purple.

The four soldiers behind him took off their hats and covered their faces with them again.

I don't know why, but I couldn't help laughing when I saw the girl's arrogant look.

A hundred soldiers on the right vanguard were collecting firewood and making a fire nearby, while secretly observing the movements of the Wei brothers and sisters.

Today everyone was really enlightened. Such a rude and unreasonable young lady dared to be so arrogant in someone else's territory. I don't know how the princess could endure it.

Their gentle princess must have suffered a lot in Wei's fortress. The soldiers imagined...

Those palace servants worked so hard, and still had to be scolded by Madam Wei, with a look of great frustration on their faces.

But he didn't dare stop the movement of his hands.

After a while, the tents of the three masters were set up, and smoke rose from all directions on the hillside.

Seeing that group of soldiers as excited as if it was New Year's Day, staring at the pot without blinking, joy was revealed on each of their faces, as if being able to have a full meal was a blessing from heaven for them.

No one knew where General Chen had gone and he didn't come back until almost time for dinner.

Everyone's attention was on the fragrant wheat rice in the pot, and they stood by eagerly waiting.

Wei Xiyin's eyes flickered slightly, and she winked at Qin Shan beside her.

She was arrogant and condescending, saying, "Go see if there's any water nearby. I've been sweating a lot and I need to take a bath tonight."

Qin Shan understood, "Yes."

The right vanguard soldier looked at Qin Shan's departing back with sympathy. Madam Wei was really good at making trouble for others. After making trouble for the palace maids, she started to make trouble for her own people. It was almost time for dinner, but she insisted on asking people to go out and find water.

Still taking a shower?

She is indeed a noble lady who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. The people below don’t even have drinking water, yet she still wants to take a bath.

They will not hold back and will not leave any food for those who go out.

When General Chen heard Madam Wei's instructions, he was about to say that there was no water nearby, but in the blink of an eye, the guard had already walked away.

He thought, forget it. He probably wouldn't believe it even if he told her. It was none of their business anyway, so they couldn't meddle in other people's business. What if Madam Wei pointed at them and scolded them? How could he save his face at his old age?

Qin Shan walked farther and farther away and gradually disappeared from sight.

Wait until you reach the foot of the mountain.

The Wei family army showed up on their own initiative, led by Shi Le, with Cookie following beside them.

The two sides exchanged information.

Shi Le said, "Lord Ling has led his men to ambush near the tomb on the mountaintop. They should have already met up with the princess and the others."

Qin Shan nodded. "The food in the guard camp has been drugged. The lady ordered us to wait for Yuan Wu to lure out the general Xing Shi, and then surround the entire mountain. If anything goes wrong, kill them all."

As for how to tell Yuan Sanlang after returning, the girl must have an idea.

The two generals did not hold high positions, but were responsible for guarding outside the city. If they could not instigate a rebellion, they could only be killed.

According to the information they have gathered in the past few days, there are four camps outside the city, with a total of about 15,000 people, almost half of the Zhongren County army, and the two vanguard camps have almost 8,000 people.

This is also the reason why Yuan Sanlang had concerns and did not dare to touch Xing Shi.

Although his status is low, he has connections.

Cookie shook his head and said regretfully, "What a pity! The newly developed explosives can't be used now. There are dangers lurking everywhere at night. If the noise is too loud and a zombie horde is attracted, it will be too troublesome to clean up."

Qin Shan was silent.

Mr. Qu seems to really want to use explosives?
