After receiving the news, Wei Ji and Wei Zhongxun rushed over quickly.
Wei Mingkuan and the others saluted hurriedly: "Chief, three elders."
Wei Ji looked solemn, "How is the fourth son's wife?"
Wei Mingkuan and the medical officer lowered their heads and remained silent.
Five-year-old Wei Guqiu nestled in the arms of his uncles, crying until his eyes were red.
Wei Ji's heart sank when he saw this.
Before he could speak, a servant came out of the house and bowed, "Chief, the fourth old lady wants to see you."
There are differences between men and women, not to mention that she is his brother's wife. In the past, Wei Ji would never have stepped into this inner room, but the current situation...
Wei Ji didn't hesitate and walked into the house.
Wei Zhongxun behind him hurriedly followed.
The fourth old lady lay on the bed with a pale face, breathing weakly, and even opening her eyelids seemed very difficult. Seeing someone come in, she spoke with difficulty: "Uncle..."
"Mingyuan...is there any news?"
Wei Ji was silent for a moment. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I've written to Liangzhou before, and Mingyuan has his own skills, so I think he'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, the fourth old lady breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at her granddaughter.
"Gu Qiu... only Gu Qiu survived... among the prominent families..."
She spoke with great difficulty, as if she was speaking word by word.
Wei Zhongxun on the side quickly interrupted her, "Gu Qiu's surname is Wei, and he is a member of the Wei family. Sister-in-law, take care of yourself first, the clan will take good care of the child."
The fourth old lady was relieved.
Wei Ji and Wei Zhongxun left with heavy steps, and asked the medical officer to do his best to treat the patient.
The two of them also called Wei Mingkuan away and asked about the situation on the road.
Five-year-old Wei Guqiu hugged his uncle tightly and refused to let go. The child was crying and his body was twitching. His whole face was red and he looked very pitiful. Wei Mingkuan patiently comforted him, handed the child to the care of the clan members, and followed Wei Ji to the next yard.
As soon as you enter the house.
Wei Ji asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why are you in Yuyang?"
The prefect of Yuyang County was Wei Mingyan from the fourth branch of the family, while Wei Mingkuan and others were from the sixth branch and were not in Yuyang County.
Wei Mingkuan's eyes were red. "To the clan leader, the riots first broke out in Fanyang County, Youzhou. We went to the capital to report on our work and were trapped in Fanyang. It was my cousin who brought the government soldiers to rescue us. We rushed back to Yizhou from Youzhou and were attacked by monsters at night, so..."
Wei Mingkuan was at a loss for words. His term of office had expired, and he was passing through Youzhou on his way to Beijing to report on his work. He wrote a letter to his cousin first, intending to have a quick meeting for two days to exchange news.
After all, the clan leader's resignation had already been leaked to the clan members.
After receiving the letter, the clansmen in Youzhou all rushed over. Wei Mingyan had been in office for more than ten years and was expected to be promoted, so he always wanted to know what would happen next.
He arrived a few days late and happened to miss Wei Xiyin and others who were passing by Fan Yang. Both sides were unaware of the situation.
Yuyang County is below Fanyang, and it takes three days to travel there by official road, so it is not convenient to return to Yizhou.
Wei Ji's eyes were deep as he asked, "What did the fourth daughter-in-law mean when she said only Gu Qiu survived?"
There are three brothers in the fourth house. In addition to Wei Mingyuan who is far away in Liangzhou and Wei Mingyan in Yuyang County, there is also Wei Minghuai who has not yet entered the officialdom but is famous for his painting.
Wei Mingkuan turned pale when he heard this, "Minghuai... is gone too."
"Gu Qiu, Gu Qiu was only able to hold on until we arrived because her mother risked her life to protect her."
"By the time we rushed back to Yuyang, a riot had already broken out. Only Fourth Aunt and Gu Qiu were still alive."
Wei Zhongxun's body was shaking.
Each member of the fourth branch is outstanding. Ming Yan and Ming Huai are dead, and there is no news about Ming Yuan. No wonder the fourth son's wife is in a hurry to call them over.
At this time, a servant staggered towards this side.
"Clan leader! The fourth wife is gone..."
………
The tragedy outside the fortress soon ended.
Yuan Wu and others leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Their clothes were stained with blood. The ground was covered with corpses and bloodstains. They were exhausted but couldn't even fall down.
Those soldiers whose wounds were splattered with blood chose to commit suicide without any hesitation.
Half a year has passed, and no one will hold on to any more luck. If they don't die now, they will turn into monsters and attack their companions later.
Corpses were strewn along the wall.
Large areas of land were dyed red with blood.
Chu Yu remained calm and said, "Bring the girl's Sun True Fire and deal with it quickly, so as not to be seen by others."
Chang Ying and Qin Shan brought people to clean up the battlefield to prevent the emergence of zombies.
Wei Xiyin tapped her fingers lightly and stared at Yuan Wu and the others in silence.
If you count carefully, there are still more than 400 people left.
I think there were probably more people who escaped at that time. That Sanlangjun is such a waste. Since he decided to wipe out the roots, he didn't take action in advance, but let people escape.
He deserves to be in trouble.
The guards quickly brought the "Sun True Fire" and dragged the corpse to a distant place for centralized processing.
Yuan Wu rested for a while, his mind was full of thoughts, as messy as a ball of paste. He couldn't understand why Qinghe Wei would help them.
Yuan Wu looked at Wei Xiyin on the city wall and murmured, "Why is this happening, girl?"
He is not a fool. A woman can be in charge of the Qinghe Wei family. It is obvious that this girl is not an ordinary person.
Wei Xiyin replied calmly, "Maybe he just doesn't like them."
Yuanwu: "?"
She waved her hand and walked down the wall. "Come in and rest. I'm tired after standing all night."
Back downstairs, the research institute next to the gate had been built for more than half. The group of people were crowded in the corner, huddled together and dared not speak a word.
Since the girl didn't say anything, the guards naturally ignored them.
