Just as everyone was working to clear out the tide of zombies.
After several months of hard work and going through untold hardships, Wei Mingyuan and others finally returned to Yizhou.
It's a very chaotic situation outside now. Cities are destroyed, homes are ruined, there are many monsters and monster animals, and survivors in many places have gathered together to survive.
Where there are people, there are conflicts. Some civilians who have nothing suddenly become managers, their ambitions are nurtured, or they enjoy power, and gradually the people become slaves. They begin to close the door and enjoy the fruits of their labor, without caring about the lives of the people below or the hell on earth outside.
This was the case with a mountain village they had passed by.
The slaves being forced to work below were so thin that they were just skin and bones, sitting on the ground with lifeless eyes, while the leaders had greasy faces.
The Wei family army has been stationed in the north and guarding the border for many years. They are covered in armor and have a murderous aura. It is obvious that they are not to be trifled with.
The group of people did not dare to provoke the army and wanted to send the people away in a friendly manner.
Wei Mingyuan glanced at the crowd, drew his sword and killed the leaders without saying a word.
He raised his sword and destroyed the head of the corpse. He turned his head and silently looked at the people on the ground who were like zombies. He said in a calm voice: "You are free, live well." Then he left with his people with heavy steps.
The world is filled with wailing and all living beings are suffering.
He can only do what he can, and how the rest of the people live depends on themselves.
Of course, there were also counties actively engaged in self-rescue efforts, or troops with ulterior motives, as he passed by. Some, unable to distinguish reality from reality, pointed at his nose and asked, "We've been waiting for reinforcements for so long, why don't you, the imperial army, ignore us?"
Apart from searching for the Wei clan members who passed by, Wei Mingyuan ignored the group of people.
Wei Xiyin was able to infer that something had happened in the imperial court. Wei Mingyuan and others had been officials for many years and naturally could also sense it. Since the imperial court had already disappeared, what was there to fear for the Wei family army to leave Liangzhou?
He brought several thousand soldiers with him, and no one along the way dared to cause trouble for them.
Thousands of people entered Yizhou from Bingzhou and arrived at Changshan County after a few days.
As long as you pass through Changshan County, you will reach Qinghe County, the home of the Wei family.
It's all about homesickness. In a world where monsters are rampant, the wanderers who are wandering in foreign lands are about to return to their hometown, and everyone's mood is very complicated.
Sometimes I am excited, sometimes I am worried, my mood changes so quickly that I become moody.
The closer you are to Qinghe County, the more obvious this symptom is.
Wei Mingsheng rubbed his hands nervously, "I wonder what the situation is like in the tribe..."
"Don't overthink it." Wei Mingyuan's expression remained calm. Although he was worried, he didn't show his joy or anger. "Qinghe County is just around the corner. Let's rest for a while and go to Zaoqiang County to rest and recuperate today."
Everyone is familiar with the territory of Qinghe County. As long as they arrive in Zaoqiang County and then pass through Xincheng, Dongwu, Yimu and other counties, they will be home.
Wei Mingsheng couldn't calm down and wished he could rush home right now. He wondered if his father and his disappointing son were safe. When he thought of this, he felt like an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.
My mind was in a mess, and I somehow thought of my eldest niece who refused to come back with them.
He said to Wei Mingyuan with a helpless look on his face: "Why don't you persuade Xirou, my third cousin, to follow us rather than stay in Bingzhou."
The eldest niece, Wei Xirou, was married in Shangjun, Bingzhou. To return to Yizhou, they had to pass through Shuofang County, Bingzhou, and walk the straight distance to enter Yizhou.
At that time, Wei Mingyuan thought of his eldest niece who was married in Shangjun, so he led his troops on a long detour to Guangyan County, Shangjun.
It took ten days to get there.
Who would have thought that the devastated Guangyan County was carrying out a rescue operation? The monsters in the entire county were cleared out, and many people were rebuilding the city walls. The person in charge was none other than the niece Wei Xirou.
Seeing their faces full of disbelief, Wei Xirou couldn't hold back her tears any longer when she saw her family members reunited.
Her husband was in office, and she was pregnant when he took up the post, so she did not go with him.
My husband's family was on the verge of collapse after going through so much hardship, and most of the men who stayed in the county town were killed by the army of monsters.
With no male in the family to take charge, Wei Xirou had no choice but to step forward, single-handedly shoulder the responsibility of the entire family, and lead the people in the country to save themselves.
When Wei Mingyuan and others came, she had been carrying it alone for too long. When she saw her family, she could no longer hold back her tears.
I learned that they were going back to Yizhou.
Wei Xirou shook her head and refused, saying firmly: "My two uncles have also seen that Guangyan County is becoming stable. They still need their niece here. Once I leave, what will they do?"
"My niece is worried about her relatives, but I am a mother now. My son is too young to travel long distances, and I cannot abandon everything here."
As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down her face. "Uncles, please understand. If the clan is safe, please apologize to the clan on my behalf. If you have any news about my parents, please let them know that I am safe. Please don't worry."
Her parents are not in the clan, and now it is unknown whether they are alive or dead.
But the Wei family has always been united, and they only hope that their parents can rush back to the fort. Their third uncle is with the army, and he will surely send rescue measures to the territory as soon as he returns.
In the end, Wei Mingyuan said nothing and left with his men.
………
After that, they concentrated on their journey and spent more than a month outside where monsters were rampant before finally arriving in Changshan County today.
When Wei Mingyuan heard his words, emotions surged in his eyes, "This is Xirou's own choice. As elders, we must respect her decision."
Wei Xirou is a weak woman, but she can stabilize Guangyan County with her own efforts.
The girls of the Wei family are no worse than the men in the world!
Everyone rested for a while and planned to set off immediately.
The scouts at the front returned with an urgent report: "General, a large number of monsters have been spotted in the direction of Jiumen County, Changshan Commandery!"
Wei Mingyuan paused holding the knife, his eyes narrowed slightly, "How many?"
"General, we can't determine the number." The scout's face was grim. "Everywhere I look, there are monsters. Probably hundreds of thousands, or more."
Upon hearing the news, everyone's faces changed instantly.
While they were on the road, they had encountered monsters gathered together, some small in number of thousands, some large in number of tens of thousands. However, they were always able to avoid them in time because they had scouts leading the way.
But if they want to go back now, they must pass through Jiumen County of Changshan Commandery, reach the border of Zaoqiang and enter Qinghe Commandery.
"How many people are there in Jiumen County?" Wei Mingsheng murmured, "Why are there such a huge number of monsters?"
Wei Ling on the side couldn't help but ask: "Father, what should we do now?"
Wei Xiyin probably never thought that her action of leading the zombie tide to Changshan would just block her uncles' way home.
