Wei Xiyin raised her eyes slightly, "Have you ever considered that the journey to Kyoto is long and it would be extremely difficult to find someone? Even if you wait until spring when the weather improves before leaving, you might still have to endure a dry and harsh winter when you arrive in Kyoto. What's the difference between that and leaving now?"

"Besides, the roads in Yizhou are mostly mountainous, so even in winter, they're not that dangerous. If everything goes well and spring arrives by the time we get to Kyoto, it will be a good time to look for people."

Dong Zhiyao remained silent, and it was indeed so.

Kyoto is a long way away, and in today's world, the delay will only be longer.

The disaster happened a year ago. If we want to find people, we can only start from near Kyoto or Sizhou. By running back and forth, we may not be able to make it back in time until next winter.

If the delay continues, it will be another year.

Dong Zhiyao thought for a moment and simply replied, "Okay! When are you planning to leave?"

Wei Xiyin knew he wouldn't refuse, so she smiled and said, "The sooner the better. I'll let you know after we confirm the time in a few days."

The uncles are still discussing the succession ceremony.

Even she wasn't sure which day it would be.

Dong Zhiyao wanted to say something else when he heard noise in the corridor again and someone else came in.

The person who came was Wei Zhongxun.

As an elder of the Wei family, he hurried over after receiving the news that the new patriarch had succeeded to the throne.

The temperature has dropped in the past few days, so he has changed into winter clothes and brought a hat with him when he went out to block the wind.

It was so windy outside, and he was slightly surprised to see Wei Xiyin and a strange man standing at the corner of the corridor.

"Why doesn't Wu Niang come into the house?"

Wei Xiyin saluted and replied, "Third uncle, my nephew just came out of the main courtyard and it's not too late yet."

Wei Zhongxun glanced at Dong Zhiyao and said, "That's perfect. His Highness Zhongshan has arrived as agreed and is almost here."
