A few more days passed.

The sky cleared up completely and the temperature began to rise slowly.

Spring has officially arrived.

Wei Mingyuan and his son led a small group of people back to Ling County.

When the clan members saw this, they came forward to greet them. They were relieved to learn that everything was going well in Guangping and that the recovery of Yizhou was just around the corner.

Especially on Wei Ting's side, he had originally planned to escort a batch of weapons and supplies on the road as soon as his third uncle had not returned. Now that everything was ready, he had returned.

It was only at this time that Wei Mingyuan learned that his niece had succeeded to the throne and become the clan leader.

When Wei Ling heard the news, his expression was filled with regret. "It's such a shame that I didn't get to witness my fifth cousin's succession ceremony."

Next time we meet, I have to call you clan leader.

He lingered at the door for a while.

Wei Mingyuan and the other clansmen nodded in greeting, and without taking a rest, he gave his son a few words of advice and went to the old house alone with the confession.

Regardless of whether Wu Niang is there or not, this matter must be reported to Wei Ji.

Even Wei Mingyuan didn't know much about the old events that happened more than 20 years ago. Only Wei Ji, who had experienced two dynasties, knew the inside story very well.

"Wu Niang asked me about this."

After Wei Ji finished reading the confession, his expression became very complicated. He said, "After the person from the Ten Directions Sect we captured last time confessed, she came to ask about the King of Qi."

"No matter how the King of Qi died, the matter is settled."

Wei Ji said slowly, "But now it seems that the King of Qi must have a descendant. Otherwise, even if the Ten Directions Sect wanted to use his name to act, it would not be enough to make the Gu family submit."

Wei Mingyuan's expression was calm, "My nephew thinks the same."

He repeated what Gu Zhiyuan had said exactly.

When I heard Gu say that Wei was involved in this matter.

"absurd!"

Wei Ji's face darkened. "When did my Qinghe Wei clan ever have any dealings with them? You're trying to drag them down before you die. Did the Zhongshan army hear about it?"

Many people died in Zhongshan because of this.

Except for Princess Zhongshan who was living in exile, all the members of the royal family were wiped out. If they took this to heart, they would be instigated to sow discord among themselves.

Wei Mingyuan: "No."

Wei Ji's expression finally softened.

He would never believe what Gu Zhiyuan said about someone from the Wei family being involved, and thought that Gu Zhiyuan was saying it on purpose to annoy Wei Mingyuan.

The Qinghe Wei family has a strict family tradition. When the clan is thriving, only someone with a mental disorder would want to overthrow the court, bring disaster to the entire family, and cause the deaths of countless relatives.

Whose rebellion starts with harming his own family members?

Wei Mingyuan naturally didn't believe it either.

Wei Ji put down his confession and said, "As for the meteorite incident, in the 24th year of Tianyuan, a meteorite fell from the sky in Jingzhou's Ni County. Wu Niang and Mr. Chu speculated that the meteorite carried an unknown pathogen, which contributed to the disaster."

How could Wei Xiyin not tell the clan about such a big thing?

Before she left, she arranged everything that needed to be explained, and Wei Ji certainly knew about it.

Although it is just the granddaughter's guess, considering the current situation, it is almost correct.

"So it seems that the one who stole the meteorite is the Shifang Sect."

Wei Ji said, "Wu Niang was just speculating before and didn't know it was related to the Ten Directions Sect. If the Ten Directions Sect was really behind this, they should have been planning it since they discovered the meteorite, scattering it all over the place, or even secretly transporting it to Kyoto..."

Wei Ji's expression became solemn when he thought of this, and he couldn't help but worry about his two grandchildren, as well as the eldest family and clansmen living in Kyoto.

Where are those strange meteorites?

How does it infect people?

How did the Shifang Sect transport meteorites to various places?

Is it still effective now? Will the living people be infected again?

Wei Mingyuan was slightly surprised when he first heard the origin of the disaster, but he immediately reacted and said in a deep voice, "Nephew, give orders immediately. Clean up the monsters and order both armies to search for those meteorites!"

No wonder, no wonder Gu Zhiyuan has such an attitude.

Meteorites have always been considered auspicious signs by the world, but the meteorite that fell in Li County, Jingzhou was really strange.

We must find it out as soon as possible and find out what is going on.

Wei Ji said calmly, "Go ahead. Even if you find it, don't let anyone touch it. Send someone to notify Mr. Qu and see if he can make a batch of boxes to hold meteorites."

There is nothing to worry about when Mingyuan does things.

Consider the confession.

Among the group of people from the Ten Directions Sect that they captured, only two Eight Directions Taoists were stationed in Guangping. Wang Changshi had already rebelled, and the Ten Directions Sect had already infiltrated everywhere.

The strange thing is that neither the relatives who had returned from Youzhou, nor Mingyuan and his companions, nor the eldest lady and the sixth lady had found any trace of the Ten Directions Sect outside Yizhou.

Where have the people gone?

Wei Ji immediately thought of Kyoto!

If one wants to conquer the world, Kyoto is crucial. The two grandchildren who are rushing to Kyoto, as well as those who are already in Kyoto...

Wei Ji's heart kept sinking.

………

At this time, Wei Xiyin had been in Sizhou for many days.

People are still in Fengling County. After all, they are taking a detour, and the distance is much longer than going through Hongnong.

Just now, they were attacked by a wave of zombies.

Although it is the beginning of spring, the zombies are still moving very fast.

They rushed towards the crowd in a swarm.

The Hedong Army, who were in charge of clearing the way ahead, looked strange, because the ones clearing out the monsters with them... were a group of women.

Those Wei family members, as grown-up men, actually all huddled at the back pushing the cart!

A Pan was afraid of being looked down upon by the Hedong Army and losing face for the girl, so he attacked with extreme ferocity, almost all of his attacks were aimed at the zombies' heads.

The other ladies cooperated with each other and moved in unison, quickly eliminating the small group of zombies in front of them.

Yuan Jin was very surprised to see this, "They are so amazing."

Wei Xiyin didn't say anything. The closer she got to Fufeng County, the more her heart beat.

She was full of hope and eagerly hoped that her family members were safe and sound in Fufeng County, waiting to be reunited with her and her brother, but she was afraid that her hopes would be dashed and she would go there empty-handed.

So she spoke very little along the way.

There is no use thinking too much.

Apart from ordering the team to speed up their journey, Wei Xiyin had to force herself to divert her attention and think about what Yuan Jin told her.

The King of Hedong has united various forces and used Yuan Jin's disappearance as an excuse to deliberately reveal his flaws and set up a tight net to lure out the enemy.

It is crucial that this move succeeds.

Yuan Jing and Guo Xiu, as well as the two counselors around King Cheng'an and the children of the three major aristocratic families, appear to have a high success rate.

She had never met the two advisers under King Cheng'an, but Yuan Jin said that Mr. Guo had praised Jiang Xun and Xiao Cheng in front of the brother and sister.

That would prove that the two gentlemen under King Cheng'an were not much worse than Guo Xiu.

Because only when you meet a worthy opponent will you appreciate and praise each other, otherwise you will look down on them with disdain.

While Guo Xiu was dealing with the enemies in the dark, he was already making plans behind the scenes.

Then what are Jiang Xun and Xiao Cheng doing?

If they notice anything unusual, they will definitely take action!

However, some people within the Gong family in Lu's County have already defected.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiyin couldn't help but look at Gong Chun, who had a calm expression.

Is he really not in a hurry at all?
