Wei Xiyin opened the envelope and quickly read the letter.
The letter is short.
This piece of paper was a scrap they had picked up from somewhere, and they didn't have a pen, so they just wrote with their fingers on some black dirt.
In the letter, Wei Li apologized to her and said that when he was about to starve to death in the cave, he told the princess the whereabouts of the Zhongshan army. The Zhongshan princess had already learned that Yuan Wu and others were looking for people in Qinghe County.
In addition, after they escaped, the princess said that she would help them keep the secret, but she hoped to see Wei Xiyin when she returned.
Wei Xiyin put the letter down with a complicated look in her eyes. She suddenly felt a headache. She deduced the situation based on the fragments of information and whispered to the scout, "So, Cousin Li was missing for more than ten days with Princess Zhongshan?"
Cave?
A man and a woman are trapped in a cave...
You have to know that a woman's reputation is of vital importance. Only after the disaster did some of the people in the fort become a little more open-minded, but the others were not necessarily so. Most people still retained their previous ideas.
The scout didn't dare to hide the truth, "It was on the twelfth day of the Dragon and Tiger Village Rebellion that I discovered the whereabouts of Master Li and the Princess."
After getting the exact answer, Wei Xiyin felt her head hurt even more.
If the princess hadn't known about her use of the Zhongshan army, she would have been 90% sure that she could make the Zhongshan princess compromise. Without the help of the Qinghe Wei family, it would have been difficult for the princess to go back and take revenge on her own.
The reason for her headache was that she felt Wei Li's protection of the princess in the letter.
Princess Zhongshan was a smart person. She learned that the prince and the princess were dead, her brother failed in his attempt to seize power and was killed, and she was also being held hostage. There was also a simple-minded young man from the Wei family who was right in front of her and revealed the whereabouts of the Zhongshan army to her.
Wei Xiyin couldn't help but wonder, what would she do if she were in such a situation?
He will definitely find ways to join forces with Yuan Wu and others, gain military strength, and then use them as bargaining chips to negotiate with the Qinghe Wei family to prevent himself from being at a disadvantage.
What are chips?
It's obvious.
Wei Li.
He is the direct descendant of the Wei family, and his grandfather is the only surviving elder in the fortress. Not to mention Wei Xiyin, even Wei Ji, the clan leader, has to consider the weight of the three elders in the clan. As long as she can control Wei Li, she will be halfway to success.
Cousin Li, who is simple-minded, may not be a match for the princess.
You can't blame Wei Xiyin for judging others by her own standards. In a peaceful and prosperous era, a noble lady from the royal family might fall in love, but right now, it's impossible.
At least from the moment Princess Zhongshan learned the bad news, her state of mind must have grown rapidly.
When they meet again next time, perhaps the person who appears before her will no longer be the Princess Zhongshan she knew before.
Several scouts were at the bottom, with their heads hung low and not daring to breathe.
The room was silent.
Wei Xiyin tapped her fingers, pondered for a long time, squinted her eyes and ordered: "Go back to the camp and rest, go call Chang Ying over."
There was no need to wait for Princess Zhongshan to come back to see her, she would go there herself.
Although things have become a little more complicated, it will be good for everyone if we can maintain a win-win situation.
She only hoped that Princess Zhongshan would be sincere and not hurt her cousin's feelings.
Chang Ying arrived quickly.
Wei Xiyin stood up and said without further ado, "Select twenty highly skilled warriors to accompany me to Guang'e County, Julu Commandery, and capture the captive zombie alive."
Raising zombies is indeed insane, but it is also the key to determining whether a zombie king will appear.
This matter is too important.
Life was already so difficult, if someone really created a zombie king, would anyone be able to survive? She had been deeply influenced by apocalyptic novels in her previous life, and she couldn't rest easy unless she went to see it for herself and got the correct answer.
Chang Ying was very surprised, "Someone is raising zombies?"
Wei Xiyin nodded, "It's not just ordinary petting, but feeding it with living people every day."
She didn't go to Julu County before because too many people had gone there, and the fort had to be garrisoned by soldiers. But now that her third uncle and the others have returned, and the Wei family army is looking for water nearby, it won't have any impact if she leaves.
Wei Xiyin urged, "Hurry up and make arrangements. Prepare the cages for capture. We must hurry over as soon as possible to prevent Erlang and the others from missing out."
She thought for a moment and added, "The cage better be sturdy."
"Yes!" Chang Ying immediately went down to make arrangements.
There are a lot of people there, so when the time comes, there will naturally be someone to use the equipment. Twenty people can travel light and arrive as soon as possible.
Ningshuang was not at home, so Wei Xiyin had to pack her luggage by herself.
Bamboo hats are made purely by hand and have a long production cycle. Now there are 3,000 more Wei family soldiers, and a hundred or so people have to make things for 5,700 people. They are too busy to handle it, so Ningshuang has not been allowed to come back.
Although she said she was packing her luggage, there wasn't much to pack. It was so hot outside and there was no guarantee that she would find water. The main thing was to take her small curling kettle and large water bag.
Wei Xiyin thought for a moment, then packed a few sets of clothes for Princess Zhongshan and Cui Erniang. (The information was asymmetric, and she didn't know about Cui Erniang yet.)
We will know the situation after it passes. If she really becomes her cousin's wife, will she still object? What if they really love each other?
The water storage in the old house is in one yard, and Uncle Wu is in charge of the daily water use of the family.
Seeing Wu Niang coming to fetch water with a package on her back, she looked like she was about to go out.
Uncle Wu was worried, "It's so hot outside, where is Wu Niang going?"
Wei Xiyin waved her hand and said, "I'll just go out for a walk."
Uncle Wu showed a look of 'do you believe me or not' and said, "The Third Master is back. Wouldn't it be the same if he went out? The sun is so strong, and the Tenth Lady is hiding in the research institute and doesn't even want to go home. She says she'll get tanned if she goes out..."
