In the end, it was Wei Guqiu's own choice. She chose to live with the women in the clan.
Because her fifth cousin told her that the female members of the family had to go to the camp to practice martial arts every day, and she could train with everyone.
Wei Mingkuan was a little disappointed, but he couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw that the child was finally willing to speak and express his wishes.
As expected, he didn't know how to take care of children. Wu Niang only said two or three words to resolve Gu Qiu's worries.
After finishing the clan affairs, the men went to the granary to transport grain.
There is not much food left in the granary now, and it will all be transported away in two or three more trips.
Wei Xiyin called Wei Li alone.
One is to let them transport food on their own in the future, and all the guards need to be transferred away.
The second is to conceal the news that Princess Zhongshan is in the granary.
Wei Li was puzzled after hearing this. "Aren't those Zhongshan soldiers looking for the princess? Why did they hide it?"
Wei Xiyin remained calm, "You've done me such a big favor, so naturally I have to repay it."
Wei Li didn't understand what she meant. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Don't worry, cousin. I'll pass the instructions along. You don't have to worry about transporting the food. Whether the enemy group will show up again or not, we can handle it now."
During this period, Wei He seemed to be possessed by a demon. He exercised on the road every day. He also asked Chang Ying for some tips and walked with sandbags tied around his feet and waist.
After all, Wei He is the youngest cousin besides Erlang. His younger brother works so hard, so how can he, as the elder brother, fall behind?
Now the grain transport team has formed a vicious circle of comparison.
If you tie a five-jin sandbag, I'll tie a ten-jin one. If he ties a ten-jin one, I'll tie a fifteen-jin one...
The guards noticed that the situation was becoming increasingly strange, and fearing that the gentlemen might get hurt, they quickly stopped this inexplicable behavior of comparison.
Wei Xiyin: “…” My cousins may not know that there is a word called involution.
Wait until Wei Li leaves.
She immediately called Chu Yu, Chang Ying and Qin Shan, and notified the Yuyang government soldiers and Yuan Wu of Zhongshan State to come over.
Yuan Wu was originally the captain of the guard camp of King Zhongshan. His extraordinaryness can be seen from his surname. King Zhongshan's surname is Yuan, which is the national surname. Being given the national surname by the master requires the consent of His Majesty, which is a great honor.
But they have already defected, and in the future we may not be able to call them people of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Yuan Wu felt relieved when he heard that the girl had summoned him.
They came here to look for the princess and had wanted to say goodbye and leave two days ago.
The princess's whereabouts are unknown now, and it's so dangerous outside, we really can't delay any longer.
But a few days ago, a funeral was being held in the fort, and Yuanwu had no chance to speak. After all, Wei had saved their lives and helped them so much, and it was neither reasonable nor moral for him to leave without saying goodbye.
Seeing that the funeral in the fort was over, he anxiously looked for someone, thinking that he had to leave today no matter what. Just as he was looking for a chance to explain, the guard came to him.
After everyone arrived, Wei Xiyin told them the next arrangements.
"The Wei family needs to rescue their relatives and friends in Qinghe County, and now they also need to go to Anping to pick up the civilians, so I plan to split the troops into two groups and carry out the operations simultaneously."
As she spoke, she looked up at Yuan Wu and said, "I know you're worried about the princess's safety and are preparing to go out and look for her. But now there are no living people outside, and we don't know where the survivors are hiding. We also need to go out and look for our clansmen. How about I lead my men and you to search the mountains and forests in Qinghe County, and then check each city below one by one? Do you think it's feasible?"
Is this an attempt to help?
Yuan Wu suddenly heard the good news and quickly bowed to Wei Xiyin, saying excitedly, "If you are willing to send someone to help us find the whereabouts of the princess, we will be very grateful."
Chang Ying and Qin Shan: “…” You are wrong, you are the ones helping us find someone.
This is probably what the legendary person said about being sold but still helping others count money.
Chu Yu turned his head away and coughed lightly to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
The girl really doesn't let go of any labor. I'm afraid that if Yuanwu and others don't help search the entire Qinghe County, there's no chance of seeing Princess Zhongshan.
When Princess Zhongshan finds out later that the girl saved her people, she will probably have to owe her another favor.
Even if you fleece both sides, you shouldn't fleece them to such an extent.
Wei Xiyin remained calm and composed. "You're welcome. You have 400 men, so let's send 400 men as well. Break up the troops on both sides and split them into four groups. I think it will be much faster."
The original plan was to send out 500 soldiers.
Look, another hundred people have been freed up, and there are more people to do the work at the dock.
Yuan Wu knew that Wei was willing to help find the princess, so he agreed to whatever she said. "Let the young lady make the arrangements. Wei is more familiar with Qinghe County than we are. We will follow the young lady's arrangements."
Finish explaining the things here.
Wei Xiyin then said to the guards, "We don't know where the people are hiding, so we need soldiers to follow and lead the way. But we don't have enough manpower here. I'll send you two hundred guards. Do you think that's feasible?"
As I said, if three thousand civilians can't even deal with a few zombies, they might as well die outside.
The yamen soldiers also quickly agreed. They were already very grateful that the Wei family was willing to accept all the people.
Finish explaining things to them.
Wei Xiyin asked them to leave, as she wanted to discuss things with her own people.
As soon as Yuan Wu and the yamen soldiers left, Chu Yu could no longer hold back and laughed out loud.
Chang Ying and Qin Shan pursed their lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Wei Xiyin glanced at them and said, "This is called making the best use of people and things."
Chu Yu nodded, "The lady is right. I wonder how the lady plans to end this?"
Yuan Wu took his men all over Qinghe County, only to find out that the person was in the Wei family. What if they turned against him?
"Isn't there Princess Zhongshan? If she wants her own people, she has to cooperate. Otherwise, she still expects me to help her seize power?"
Wei Xiyin said without hesitation, "You know, even if Yuanwu and the others find the person, they have nowhere to go. Princess Zhongshan is also a smart person. How can I trust her so easily without handing over the benefits? What if she turns against me in the future?"
Both parties in the alliance must be sincere. Princess Zhongshan has no chance of leaving Qinghe County until she gets the troops.
Chang Ying exclaimed, "The girl is really thoughtful."
Wei Xiyin accepted his compliment calmly, straightened her expression, and talked about business. "We will set out tomorrow and divide our forces into four groups. We will have to replan our route. Since Yuanwu and the others are so anxious to find someone, we can leave the Dongwu area to him."
"Let's start from Yimu. Two groups of people will search the mountain and we will definitely find any survivors."
Chu Yu nodded and spread out the map on the table. "There is a mountain forest to the south of Yimu City. If anyone escapes to the mountains, they are likely in this area. There are also some cellars and other hiding places in the villages along the way. It is best not to miss them."
The Wei family is wealthy and has many servants. If there are loyal people who fight to the death to protect them, the chances of survival are still very high.
Chu Yu said, "Also, since the lady has decided to accept those 3,000 people, the houses within the wall should be built. This will add 3,000 new workers, and we will have people to mine the iron and salt mines."
Wei Xiyin nodded: "That's right, when the people arrive, let them build the houses themselves."
It’s great to be self-sufficient.
