The people from different parties have different thoughts.

King Cheng'an and the Yuan brothers and sisters reached an agreement and made pre-war deployments in their respective camps.

While Hongnong County was still trying to deal with the two armies, the two counties next to it - Huayin and Lu's - sent troops to Hongnong County for support.

Little did they know.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. A greater crisis has quietly approached...

at this time.

Wei Xiyin, with few soldiers and horses, was struggling to drag an astonishing number of supply carts and climb the mountain with difficulty.

The group turned into emotionless traveling machines.

Travel during the day and find a sheltered place to rest for a short time at night.

By nightfall, everyone was too tired to even speak, let alone chat.

Even Wei Lang, who was usually full of energy, was now listless.

Not only did he have to climb the mountain to get to the destination, he also had to help pull the cart, lift the cart, and feed the horses...

Every day when his elder sister ordered him to rest, Wei Lang didn't want to move at all. He fell asleep as soon as he finished his meal.

The temperature outside is getting lower and lower.

Thick snow covers the mountain forests. The humid environment causes some tenacious vegetation to begin to sprout. After the baptism of drought, the whole land finally sees patches of green plants.

The mountain road was slippery and the heavy snow made it difficult to walk. In the end, almost everyone was helping to push the cart.

This is the consequence of being out too late.

But the Wei family had a very difficult early period and started too late.

Throughout Yizhou, the Yizhou army's motives were unclear and they did not participate in the rescue. The only powerful Zhongshan State was plunged into civil strife. There were also the psychopaths like the Shifang Sect and the Guangping Gu family...

In order to consider the interests of their own base camp, the Wei family had to pacify Yizhou first and send troops to clear out Guangping.

The Zhongshan army was divided into two groups, one stationed at home and the other following the Wei family's orders.

Yuan Yuwan fulfilled her promise and helped to clean up Yizhou even though her own territory was still unsettled, providing both manpower and manpower.

This also resulted in Wei Xiyin being unable to ask for troops again.

After all, it was someone else's army. Her trip to Beijing to look for her relatives was a personal matter, not to save the emperor.

Moreover, if she really brought the army into Beijing, she would be in a difficult situation. She didn't want to get involved, and it was not certain whether the Zhongshan army would listen to her.

At night rest.

"It's already mid-November now, right?" Wei Xiyin said uncertainly while chewing on a hard cake.

She was on the road all day long, and her days were so chaotic that she almost didn't know what day it was.

"Yes, so now is not the coldest period." Gong Chun nodded, "In two days we will be able to leave Yizhou. By then, there will be no mountain roads to take, so we will have to take the official road."

What this means is that once you go down the mountain, you will not only have to face zombies, but also those survivors who are jealous of the supplies.

Wei Xiyin was silent for a moment after hearing this, then turned to ask Dong Zhiyao, "Brother Yao, how did you survive last winter when you were wandering around with your sixth cousin and a sick child?"

"I found a hot spring in the mountains, and after finishing the food, I ate tree bark." Dong Zhiyao raised his eyes and pursed his lips, obviously not wanting to elaborate on what happened.

"The outbreak had just begun, and many people were in a state of panic. Everyone was just trying to escape, and even food was an afterthought. So the danger posed by humans was minimal."

Dong Zhiyao changed the subject and talked about the situation outside at the time. "Later, when we returned from Bingzhou with food, winter was only a month away. Many places were busy preparing for winter and had no time for highway robbery. We avoided it if we could, and if we couldn't, we sent some food out to ensure safety."

Hearing him mention food, Wei Xiyin snorted, "There's no way I can send food."

Unexpectedly, it was too early to say this.

The next day, they encountered a living person on the mountain.

These are the first survivors found since the departure.

Wei Xiyin led her people past the post station where they had stayed. She paused and looked down the mountain for a while, then finally continued on her way.

After walking on the mountain for about two hours, the scout ahead suddenly ran into a group of disheveled people.

About a hundred people.

The leader was tall, wearing an old coat, with a hat pulled down very low on his head, almost covering half of his face. He had a piece of cloth draped around his neck as a shawl to keep warm, covering the lower half of his face to protect against the wind and snow, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The people behind him did the same, covering themselves tightly and looking for something to eat on the mountain.

Hearing the sound of car wheels rolling over snow not far away, the leader was stunned for a moment and quickly notified the people around to retreat.

Most of the people around were well-trained and quickly jumped down the hillside to run away, but they didn't expect that there were two scouts exploring the way below and were hit red-handed.

Scout: “…”

"ah!"

The people on the opposite side saw the fully armed scouts and thought they were enemies. They screamed in panic, lost their balance and fell to the ground, sliding down the mountain along the snow on the road.

One of the scouts subconsciously stepped forward and helped the man.

However, after touching the other person, even through the thick clothes, the scout still felt her slender wrist and delicate bones, and realized that it was a woman.

In other words, these people who wrapped themselves tightly were all women.

"We're just passing through, we have no ill intentions." After the scout helped the person steady himself, he hurriedly said, fearing they might run away and fall off the cliff, "Our leader is right behind us, we'll be there soon."

Seeing this, another scout felt somewhat helpless and added, "Our leader is a woman."

As soon as the words fell.

The petite figures that were fleeing in all directions stopped, not knowing whether to run or stay, and stared at the scouts doubtfully.

They also realized that these men did not seem to have any malicious intentions.

really.

A moment later, Wei Xiyin appeared in everyone's sight holding Bubai's hand.

Snowflakes are falling all over the sky.
