Wei Ting only learned the news from his third great-uncle after the army arrived in Hejian County.

Wu Niang actually planned to rush to Kyoto in winter.

"Of course the sooner the better." Wei Xiyin said.

Chang Ying has prepared the supplies, but what he lacks are weapons and explosives along the way.

She came here because of this.

The explosives and weapons are in the warehouse here, and Wei Ting also helped to make some small gadgets.

Wei Xiyin said, "I don't know when I'll be back, so I should tell my cousin that if Third Uncle doesn't return with his army in the spring, I'm afraid the clan will have to escort a batch of supplies over."

Leaving aside explosives, if the army does not return in the spring, there will definitely not be enough weapons such as arrows.

She was worried about the supply problem in the rear.

Wei Ting was silent. "Don't worry, Fifth cousin, we won't stop here during the winter, and the production will keep up. If Third Uncle doesn't come back by then, we will definitely send someone to escort the supplies over."

"It's you."

Wei Ting paused slightly, and said in a heavy tone, "Be careful on the road. Your cousin is waiting for your safe return."

Wei Xiyin smiled and said, "Of course."

After carefully inquiring about the progress here, she learned that all the required items had been made. She guessed that the two sisters had already arrived at the dock. Fearing that her grandfather would wait for too long, she turned around and said goodbye.

Parting is always accompanied by sadness, and she doesn't like that kind of atmosphere.

It’s not like we won’t meet again.

Once she finds her parents and brother, she will lead everyone back to the tribe safely.

Qin Shan and Chang Ying returned to the camp together and handed over matters one by one.

Wei Xiyin took her brother to the old house.

"Sister, what did cousin Ting mean by that?"

Wei Lang was very quiet the whole way, and only spoke when they were almost home. He looked confused, "Sister, are you still going out? But it's snowing, and it's so cold outside."

Wei Xiyin said slowly: "Well, my sister is going to Kyoto to find my father, mother, and elder brother."

"I want to go too!"

Wei Lang became anxious upon hearing this, fearing that his elder sister would not take him with her. "I will go with my elder sister to look for my father, mother, and elder brother."

He actually understood it in his heart.

Those monsters are not only here, there are monsters everywhere outside.

Dad and the others must still be at home in Kyoto, so he wants to go back with his sister to see them.

Wei Xiyin sighed: "Sister will naturally take you with her."

The two of them had already reached the door of the old house.

Uncle Wu's figure was slightly hunched, and he was still the same as before. Every time the siblings came back, he would personally guard the door.

"Uncle Wu, it's so windy outside, why are you still out?"

Wei Xiyin walked into the house with a look of disapproval on her face, "My brother and I are grown up enough to come back on our own. It's fine in the summer, but the weather is so bad now, you don't have to come out to pick us up."

Uncle Wu had a kind face and said, "I know that Wu Niang loves me, but I will not feel at ease until I see you return."

Wei Xiyin was stunned. She didn't know when the old man's face had become full of wrinkles and he looked very old. His gray hair was very glaring in her eyes, and his body was even more hunched than she remembered.

She still remembered that when she was a child, Uncle Wu walked very fast and when he went out with his grandfather, he always rode a horse alone in front of the carriage.

At that time, Erlang was learning to ride a horse, and it was Uncle Wu who taught him. The child was naughty and deliberately kicked the horse's belly to scare Uncle Wu, but Uncle Wu was so skilled that he could catch up with the running horse...

unconsciously.

She and her brother grew up, but her grandfather and Uncle Wu grew old.

Suddenly I felt a mixture of emotions.

Wei Xiyin suppressed her emotions and said softly, "Then we'll come back sooner in the future."

Uncle Wu naturally agreed and went to the main courtyard with the siblings.

He muttered as he walked, "The situation has changed in the past few days. The head of the family has been complaining about you not bringing enough warm clothes, and he's also annoyed that he didn't explain Zhao's situation in more detail to you."

"Yesterday, when the elders from the three clans came, he was still counting the days to see if you could make it back."

"Just now, you sent a messenger back, saying that you had to go to the county town first. The head of the family was relieved to know that you were safe..."

Wei Xiyin listened silently.

In the main courtyard.

Wei Ji had already received the news that his grandchildren had returned. His granddaughter sent a guard to convey the message that they had to go to the county town first.

Of course he knew that his granddaughter had gone to the county town to inquire about the weapons preparations.

I guess we'll be leaving for Kyoto soon.

There was a howling wind outside and snowflakes were flying.

Wei Ji didn't feel relieved at all because the children came back. Instead, he felt heavy-hearted and worried.

I don't know if I can find the person I'm looking for, and I don't know when I can return...

When Wei Xiyin brought her brother in, she saw her grandfather sitting quietly cross-legged on the couch, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something.

Wei Lang shouted, "Grandfather! My grandson and sister are back!"

Wei Ji came back to his senses and glared at him unhappily, "No rules."

My depressed mood was completely swept away by my grandson's joke.

Uncle Wu behind him quickly closed the door.

It was very windy outside, the doors and windows were closed, and the temperature inside the house was fine.

All the windows in the house have been remodeled and reinforced. The material has been changed to iron wire, and kapok has been added to the gaps to prevent the wind from getting in.

Wei Xiyin and his younger brother paid their respects to their grandfather, and then sat down at the bottom.

She knew that her grandfather was concerned about Guangping's situation, so she told him in detail what had happened before she left.

Wei Ji nodded as he listened and said, "With Mingyuan here, I'm not worried about any accidents happening in Guangping."

"Your third uncle joined the army at a young age. Because of his distinguished family background, he had more opportunities for promotion than other generals."

"Even if we put aside his status, he is well-read, and has both literary and military skills. He knows how to use people and employs them based on their talents. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou so quickly."

Furthermore, there is support from the Zhongshan Army in the rear, food and grass support from the Zhao family, and various military supplies produced by the Wei family arsenal.

It can be said that it has the best location and the best people.

Compared to Wei Mingyuan, Wei Ji was obviously more worried about the two younger generations who were about to set off.

But he didn't say it.

Talking too much will only add to the pressure on your granddaughter.

Wei Ji thought for a moment, looked at his granddaughter deeply, and told Uncle Wu, "Go and get the things."

"Yes." Uncle Wu bowed and left, walking towards the side room where a box that had been prepared long ago was placed.

The box is small, exquisite and has a gorgeous appearance.

The old man came out quickly carrying the box.

Wei Xiyin didn't move, but she had a vague premonition in her heart.

She had seen this box before, and inside it was...

"I am old and no longer involved in mundane affairs."

Wei Ji didn't even glance at the box. His expression was calm, but his tone was extremely serious. "Wei family, it's time to choose a new patriarch to succeed the throne."

"Let's get this done before you leave."

The patriarch has great patriarchal power.

In that box were the clan leader's seal and token, as well as the Wei family's genealogy and clan rules.

Wei Xiyin lowered her eyes silently, thousands of thoughts inexplicably welling up in her heart.

In fact, she had already guessed it.

It is self-evident that her grandfather did this because he was afraid that after she found her brother, the clan would be torn apart by internal strife.

That's why I wanted to put this matter to rest before she left.
