Zhang Yuanyan's face turned pale. Could it be that the girl's words implied that she was instigating him to rebel against the Yizhou Army?

He had been brooding over this matter.

After living in the Wei clan's land for almost a year, I found the living atmosphere in the fortress to be excellent and everyone got along well with each other.

The sixty Yizhou soldiers under his command ate and lived together with Wei's followers, played and laughed every day, trained together, and went on missions together...

It can be said that everyone has already developed a sense of belonging to the dock.

But this really made Zhang Yuanyan rebel, and he subconsciously felt resistance.

"Master Zhang, have you forgotten?" Gong Liulang suddenly asked, "The person who forged my third uncle's handwriting and issued the military documents was in Guangping."

He slowly confided, "This person is most likely Wang Kangsheng."

Wei Xiyin was slightly surprised when she heard this and turned to look at him. The surroundings became dark and she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Unexpectedly, Gong Chun would help her persuade Zhang Yuanyan.

Wei Xiyin naturally followed his words and continued, "That's right. The person who pretended to be Governor Gong and defrauded the army obviously had bad intentions. Is Lord Zhang going to return to the army?"

It is a fact that Zhang Yuanyan belongs to the Yizhou Army.

He had lived in the fortress for nearly a year and was very familiar with the situation in Ling County.

Wei Xiyin couldn't let her go. She had the same idea as those members of the Zhao family. The food in the granary belonged to the imperial court. What if Wang Kangsheng asked her to hand over the granary in the name of Governor Gong?

Oh, it’s impossible to hand over what’s in her hands.

What she was more curious about was that the two major sources of grain in Yizhou, granaries and water transport, were divided up by the Qinghe Wei family and the Hejian Zhao family. Where did Wang Kangsheng get the food to support his troops?

Zhang Yuanyan was in a state of confusion, his mind a mess. His face was pale as he asked, "Young lady and Mr. Liu, are you so sure that Governor Gong... is gone?"

Gong Liulang was not like Wei Xiyin. He had no scruples and said calmly, "This isn't obvious. If Third Uncle were here, with so many Yizhou troops, he would have sent troops to pacify the nearby counties and provide relief to all parts of Yizhou. How could there be no movement after a year?"

Under the cover of night.

The three of them stood in the open space outside.

It was pitch black all around.

After asking for instructions in a low voice, the guard lit a torch nearby. The faint light flickered in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding area.

After Gong Chun finished speaking, the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

The flames cast shadows that danced across the three men's faces, illuminating their outlines.

Zhang Yuanyan's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was unable to refute.

In fact, he had already accepted this fact in his heart, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he had been unwilling to admit it. He hoped for a miracle, what if Governor Gong was still alive...

Wei Xiyin didn't want to push him too hard, so she coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhang, you don't have to make a decision now. It won't be too late to make a decision after we receive news from Guangping."

"Everything will become clear by then, and the truth will naturally be known." I just want to give him a heads-up.

Anyone who has fished knows that the line should be reeled in slowly and steadily, neither parallel to the water surface nor too high.

In this way, the fish caught on the hook will not escape because of violent struggle.

Wei Xiyin walked a little further away, called the captain over, and whispered some instructions about the follow-up matters.

The centurion listened carefully, took notes seriously, and nodded in agreement from time to time.

When Wei Xiyin came back, Zhang Yuanyan had already left, and only Gong Chun was still there.

She nodded towards Gong Chun, "Thank you, Liu Langjun, for speaking up for me."

"The girl hits it at just the right time."

Gong Liulang said, "Instead of worrying that Zhang Yuanyan might betray us at any time, it's better to be frank and honest. He is just blindly loyal and a little indecisive. He needs external force to push him to make up his mind."

Wei Xiyin nodded in agreement, but...

"Whether it's the right time or not, it's really too much for Liu Langjun to say it. The main thing is that if you don't tell me now, I'll leave tomorrow."

Before leaving, always make some things clear.

Zhang Yuanyan did a lot for the fort. Not only did he hand over his granary to supply the Wei clan and the people of Qinghe County, he also diligently helped them train new soldiers.

He taught those troops and was kind to the fortress.

He is also a good official.

I'm afraid he might get confused for a moment and do something detrimental to the fort.

Judging from my third uncle's temperament, he will definitely not show mercy.

"It's getting late, I'll go in first." Wei Xiyin didn't wait for his answer, waved her hand, turned and walked towards Zhao's Fortress.

I originally wanted to persuade Gong Chun to have a good chat with Zhang Yuanyan tonight, but when I thought about his temper, I gave up.

It's a good thing if you don't rub salt into other people's wounds.

Gong Changjun is obviously his third uncle, but he acts even less sad than Zhang Yuanyan, a subordinate.

The militiamen guarding the gate of the fort waited for a long time and finally saw someone coming back.

After the girl entered, the drawbridge of the fortress slowly descended.

Wei Xiyin returned to the house that Zhao arranged for her.

As soon as she entered, she saw Wei Mingyuan standing upright in the corridor, as if he was waiting for her.

Wei Xiyin stepped forward and saluted, "Third uncle."

She came back so late, but Wei Mingyuan didn't ask anything.

After my niece returns, she will probably set off for Kyoto.

I don’t know when I will be able to return, and I don’t know if I can find the person. The road ahead is uncertain and the future is uncertain. Even if she is capable, how can I not worry about her.

He asked in a low voice, "Erlang has gone to Rao'an County. When Wu Niang returns... should she take him with her?"

Wei Xiyin nodded, "Of course I have to bring him. Erlang is skilled in martial arts and can protect himself. He will be very obedient with me watching over him."

He sent Wei Lang to Raoan County under the pretext of building a military camp because he was afraid that his younger brother would speak without restraint.
