Wei Xiyin and the others naturally had no idea what was happening behind them.

Half a month later, the group finally arrived in Yizhou safely.

Although Qinghe County belongs to Yizhou, it is close to the border of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and is adjacent to the three jurisdictions. To enter Yizhou from Youzhou, one must pass through Zhongshan, Anping and other counties and finally reach Qinghe County, the home of the Wei clan.

The days of running around made everyone exhausted, and the guards looked much thinner after this trip.

Wei Xiyin herself was not feeling well either. The shock absorption function of the carriages of that era was very poor. After many days of bumpy rides, she felt like all the bones in her body were about to be shaken apart.

Wei Lang beside him was fine, still energetic and lively, but he was pouting and looked a little unhappy.

It seemed that the newly bought cows and horses were not close to him at all and refused to play with him at all.

Wei Xiyin was too lazy to coax him. Children's emotions came and went quickly, and trying to coax him would only make her look like a fool.

Seeing that they were almost home, Wei Xiyin ordered not to travel any further tonight.

That night they stayed at the official inns along the way as usual.

Upon seeing that it was someone from the eldest branch of the Wei family, the local postmaster quickly took the initiative to say, "Duke Wei returned to the Wei family fortress three days ago."

Wei Xiyin was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that even though they traveled day and night, they were still much slower than her grandfather.

Wei Lang stood aside and asked in confusion, "What is a fortress?"

"The fort is where our Wei family lives, similar to a small city." Wei Xiyin explained to him patiently.

When the world is in turmoil, some wealthy families built forts and camps in order to protect themselves, which had a certain degree of defensive power.

You have to know that in this era, not everyone can build a dock. In addition to the requirements of grade, reputation, and status, it also requires considerable financial resources.

As far as Wei Xiyin knew, there were only three docks in the entire Yizhou.

"I understand. The fortress is our home." This time Wei Lang understood.

Wei Xiyin didn't correct him, since the general meaning was correct anyway.

She sent the postmaster away and turned around to order Ningshuang to get the list of gifts prepared for the tribe members.

The gifts for the meeting were all prepared by my mother, as time was too tight and we were afraid that there would be any mistakes.

After all, it’s my first time back home, so I can’t be rude to others.

Yes, it was the first time for Wei Xiyin and Wei Lang to return to the Wei family fortress.

When Wei Xiyin was born, her father, Wei Minglun, was serving as an official in another place. Later, he was transferred to Kyoto as the Minister of Agriculture. During this period, because the journey was too long, the family never went back, and the two sides mainly communicated through letters.

Ningshuang quickly took out the list, and Wei Xiyin took it and sat at the table to check it carefully.

Wei Lang had nothing to do and there was nothing fun here, so he simply sat at the table and watched his sister work.

Suddenly, there were screams coming from outside, followed by a group of wild beast-like roars.

The brother and sister looked up and looked at each other, both stunned.

The door suddenly rattled with knocks, and Chang Ying's anxious voice came from outside: "Girl! Something happened outside!"

Wei Xiyin's expression changed slightly, and she immediately stood up and told Ning Shuang, "Pack your things, we're leaving now!"

Wei Lang had already opened the door to let Chang Ying in. When the door was half opened, Wei Xiyin saw through the gap that the Wei family guards outside were fighting with a group of people covered in blood.

"Stop packing and leave!" Chang Ying shouted at Ning Shuang who was packing her things.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the brother and sister. Several guards immediately came over, surrounded them, and quickly ran to the backyard with them.

"What's going on?" Wei Xiyin was still confused. She held Wei Lang tightly and asked while running.

Ning Shuang followed behind the siblings, her face tense. "But there are refugees here? Who is so bold as to attack the imperial post station..."

Chang Ying replied, "Not refugees."

Wei Lang stared at a certain direction in the distance with his eyes wide open and suddenly asked, "What is that?"

At this moment, several people suddenly rushed out in front of them, still wearing post soldier uniforms, with blood in their mouths, and rushed towards the guards as if they had lost their minds.

The way forward was blocked, and the three guards in the front drew their swords and warned: "Take another step forward and you will die!"

However, those people turned a deaf ear and rushed over recklessly. Their skin was bluish purple, their faces were covered with blue veins, their eye sockets were sunken, their eyes were filled with terrifying whites, and their eyeballs were completely invisible.

Seeing that the man on the other side refused to listen, the guard no longer hesitated and stabbed him in the chest.

Unexpectedly, the man, stabbed in the chest, was still able to move freely, as if he felt no pain, and even stretched out his hands to grab the guard's face...

Seeing this, Chang Ying quickly pulled the guard back and kicked him in the chest.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xiyin's pupils suddenly shrank, horror was in her eyes, and she seemed to be frozen in place as if she had lost her soul.

She felt like her worldview was collapsing.

"It's a zombie." Wei Xiyin murmured.

The voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was answering Wei Lang's question just now.

However, the situation is urgent now and she has no time to reorganize her worldview.

In the distance, some guards of the Wei family had fallen to the ground, then stood up shakily and began to attack their own people.

If she had spoken a second later, one more person would have been sacrificed on their side.

Wei Xiyin no longer hesitated and shouted loudly: "Attack their heads, and protect yourself from getting scratched!"

Chang Ying paused holding the knife, immediately adjusted the angle, and began to attack those people's heads.

Just as the girl expected, after suffering severe head injuries, these people instantly lost their ability to move.
