Wei Ling was listening at the side and was very angry.
He pointed at the man's nose and cursed, "You are ignorant. Perhaps some people deserved to die, but many more people were affected by the disaster. How can you single out everyone for the same reason? And even involve the court in the disaster? Do you know that the Ten Directions Sect is rebelling?!"
The man didn't dare say anything.
Wei Mingyuan asked in a deep voice, "How many people from the Ten Directions Sect are there in the other village? How many followers and children from aristocratic families are there?"
The person kneeling on the ground looked hesitant and stammered for a long time without answering.
Shi Le on the side shook his long sword slightly.
The common people shuddered when they saw this and hurriedly replied, "General, there are less than thirty people in the Ten Sect, and most of them are believers who have been summoned like me."
"As for those aristocratic families of scholars, there aren't many left. Most of the women are still around... The Taoist priests won't let us get close to the detention center, so I don't know how many are left."
"A Taoist?" Wei Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is he from the Ten Directions Sect?"
The man nodded repeatedly, "Only the leader can be called the leader of the Ten Directions. The people below are divided according to their levels. The one in the other village is a Taoist from the Six Directions. I have only been a member of the sect for a short time, so I only know this much."
Shi Le suddenly asked, "Who is the pale-faced scholar who appeared at the gate of the villa?"
The common people shook their heads and said, "I don't know either, but the Taoist priest was very polite to him and never told him to do anything."
Wei Mingyuan asked more about the situation in the villa until the man could no longer answer. He waved his hand and the person on the ground was dragged away by the soldiers.
Wei Ling's chest was heaving violently, and he was still angry.
Wei Mingyuan said calmly, "How did your father teach you? You are so impatient."
Wei Ling's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he calmed down and replied, "I know I was wrong."
"It seems that the Ten Directions Sect has ulterior motives and is targeting the aristocratic families." Wei Mingyuan looked solemn.
Are the believers only active in Wei County, or...
You should know that Qinghe County is further east.
Born into a prominent family, he naturally knew that some families acted arrogantly, thought themselves superior, looked down on ordinary people, and even enslaved the lower classes. Even when disaster struck, this mentality still existed.
That is why the Shifang Sect can easily stir up public anger and incite local people to deal with local powerful families.
However, the other party's actions and preaching were obviously aimed at all aristocratic families, which naturally included the Qinghe Wei family in the neighboring county.
Wei Mingyuan couldn't just ignore it.
He pondered for a moment, then instructed Shi Le beside him, "Gather the troops and attack the other village at daybreak. Capture the people from the Ten Directions Sect alive."
"Yes!" Shi Le accepted the order.
………
The other end.
Wei Xiyin and Gong Liulang led their men through Crow Mountain to Fuyang County.
Tonight they camped in the mountains.
The temperature at night was just right, the night was warm, and the dark sky was dotted with stars.
If it weren't for the occasional noises coming from the bottom of the mountain, she would really like to calm down and enjoy the night view.
After so many trips out, the soldiers gradually got used to the girl eating and living with them. They each did their own thing and arranged personnel to stand guard around at night.
It was the first time that Wei Xiyin went out with Gong Liulang. Although he looked frail, he walked very fast during the day without slowing down his pace at all. She couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
No matter what Gong Liulang's purpose was, he was ultimately working for the fort.
Thinking of this, her expression softened and she decided to treat him as half her own for the time being.
After they finished eating the bread, they took a rest.
As soon as it got light, the team sped up their journey.
Two more days passed.
Wei Xiyin and others finally walked out of the Crow Mountain Range, and the Zhongshan Army stationed in Dongwu had disappeared.
When we arrived near the granary, there were still many zombies lingering on the plains. These creatures had no intelligence and kept turning around and around and couldn't get out, so they just stayed where they were.
Thinking that the gentlemen disappeared here.
Wei Xiyin's face looked a little bad, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She didn't know where her brother and his men had gone.
Chang Ying on the side has led his troops to clean up the monsters.
Fuyang County is above the granary, so they need to walk in a straight line through the granary to reach Fuyang.
The temperature is getting higher and higher now, and it has reached a new high today.
There has been no noticeable change in the zombies since the spring. Their speed during the day is mostly between walking and running. The guards are already very familiar with them, so it is not difficult to clean them up.
After clearing out the nearby zombies, the group entered the granary to check the remaining food.
Like all the city gates, the granary gate also opens from the inside. The men did not lock the door after escaping, and the gate had already been broken open by the zombie tide that arrived nearby at that time.
There are still scattered zombies wandering around inside.
Wei Xiyin walked in front and stabbed the monster's head with his sword without changing his expression. The guards checked the surroundings and quickly dispersed to check the conditions in each warehouse.
There were still approximately 20,000 dan of grain left to be transported. The current harvest from the fields couldn't keep up with the fort's consumption rate, so every grain was precious. If it hadn't been contaminated by monsters, it would be best to transport all of it back to the fort.
"My lady, the gates of two warehouses storing grain were broken through, but the rest are unharmed."
Wei Xiyin nodded, "Let's talk about it when we get back. We'll notify someone to come and move it then."
One stone is equivalent to 120 kilograms. More than 200,000 stones of grain had to be transported by manpower in batches. The fort had many survival measures to be taken at the time, and it was impossible to put everyone into transporting the grain, so the grain has not been transported yet.
Food is important, but living people are more important.
Without people, no matter how much food there is, it is useless.
Without staying for long, after closing the granary door, Wei Xiyin led his men straight towards Fuyang.
The temperature was rising, and even though they were traveling light, everyone was sweating profusely.
On the way, Gong Liulang looked up at the sun hat on her head from time to time, wondering where the girl got so many ideas.
Seeing this, Wei Xiyin said, "Sixth Young Master, there's no need to be envious. The blueprint has been given to the weaver. When we come next time, everyone will have this hat."
Gong Liulang turned his head away and did not answer.
Wang Tie was protecting thousands of civilians as they walked on the outskirts. This time, Commander Chang had assigned his team a mission to be responsible for future mining affairs. In other words, he would have to stay in the mine with Liu Langjun for more than a month.
He didn't care. It didn't matter where he stayed. The fort would provide him with food anyway. Besides, they would be close to the granary in the future, so they wouldn't need to go back for supplies. He could just send someone to the granary to get food.
After another day of hurried journey, the group finally entered the territory of Fuyang.
Wei Xiyin immediately ordered, "Send three teams into the vicinity of Fuyang County to search for Yuan Wu and the others. The rest of you will follow me to investigate near the ore."
"yes!"
Before the Princess of Zhongshan is found, we must first find a way to delay the Zhongshan army.
The mines are already there.
