To go from Baixiang, you have to pass through Wutao County and Tangyang County.
Walking onto the official road, the iron cage that had been carried was finally placed on the ground and pushed along.
The scouts led the way.
The group hurried as fast as they could and arrived at the border of Guang'a County.
After entering Guang'a County, the number of zombies suddenly increased. Skeletons staggering around could be seen everywhere on the official roads and in the fields.
Wei Xiyin pulled out Luoxue and joined in the cleanup work along the way.
As the temperature gets higher, the zombies walk slower and seem to be stuck when they pounce, making them very easy to kill.
"My lady, the zombies from Gaoyi County are migrating here in batches. Many zombies have appeared in Guang'e County ahead." The scout returned after investigating the situation. "The gentlemen have left marks along the way. We need to bypass the road ahead."
Wei Xiyin shook the sword and looked up at Chu Yu, "What do you think, sir?"
There was a deeper meaning behind her question.
Chu Yu was from Julu County.
"That depends on how far the girl wants to go." Chu Yu, dressed in cloth, stood calmly in the shade under the tree, holding a curling stone. He was a strategist, and he didn't need to do the work of cleaning up the zombies.
"If the girl wants to clean up the entire Yizhou, Julu County will send troops sooner or later. The dry season also has its advantages. Now that the zombies are weaker, it is a good time to clean up the zombie tide."
Wei Xiyin shook her head and said, "Now is not a good time. The manufacturing of explosives is progressing slowly, and we can't use manpower and firepower here. Julu County will have the least impact on us, even less so than Anping County and the neighboring counties of Changshan and Bohai."
The Crow Mountain Range serves as a barrier, preventing the zombie tide from coming over. The only hidden danger lies in Guang'a County, which is close to the end of the mountain range and Gaoyi County, which is adjacent to Qinghe County.
Gaoyi is not far from the granary and Fuyang.
But it is far from the point where they need to concentrate their forces to clean up.
Chu Yu said: "So Yu said it depends on the girl's plan. The girl wants to explore Guangping and Pingzhongshan first. The counties and prefectures that Guangping passes through and Anping County will naturally be ranked before Julu County."
"Sir, you're not from Julu County?" Wei Xiyin couldn't help but glance at him twice more before asking carefully, "I thought you would advocate clearing Julu County first."
Chu Yu smiled calmly, "I know what's important and what's not."
Wei Xiyin agreed very much. As a counselor, who recruited people based on their counsel, it was natural for him to give advice and solve problems for his lord first.
I just don't know if Chu Yu's other relatives and friends are still alive. You know, in this dynasty, almost all clans survived together, but when Chu Yu came to seek refuge, he only brought his mother and two followers.
By the way, she hadn't seen Mr. Chu's mother for a long time. The last time she heard about her was when she heard that she was helping with work for the female family members.
She thought so and asked naturally.
Chu Yu's expression was indifferent. Without hiding anything, he replied, "My father passed away early. Some people bullied the orphan and widow and seized the family property, so I left the family when I was young."
Wei Xiyin was stunned. She didn't expect that her husband had such a past.
However, given Mr. Chu's temperament, the people who bullied them mother and son will probably not have an easy time...
Maybe he has already been reincarnated.
No wonder he doesn't care about the situation in Julu County, and even acts like he doesn't care at all.
The conversation stopped and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Chang Ying stood silently beside the girl, always paying attention to the movements around him.
The scouts quickly found the route ahead and returned. The group bypassed the area where there were many zombies and continued to move eastward following the marks along the way.
On the second day, they finally met their own people.
The guard who was monitoring the movement of the zombie tide two miles away was startled when he saw the girl and hurried over to salute.
"Meet the girl!"
"Greetings, Commander Chang!"
The guard looked up and found Mr. Chu standing behind the girl. He was even more shocked. "Hello, Mr. Chu!"
Unexpectedly, not only the girl was alarmed, but even Mr. Chu followed over.
Wei Xiyin nodded and asked quickly as they walked, "Where are the gentlemen? What's the current situation in Guang'a County?"
"My dear, the young men are all resting in the cave. Centurion Cheng Xiu came to join them. After learning about the situation here, he led a hundred men away from the team and headed in another direction to look for Commander Qin and the other young men."
The guard lowered his head and continued to report, "We are returning from Jingwu County. The second wave of zombies has blocked the road from Jingwu County to this side. We only arrived yesterday and don't know the latest situation. Dalangjun is anxious to rescue people and has sent scouts to investigate the situation in Zaoyao Village. They are expected to return in the evening."
Zaoyao Village is the current base of County Magistrate Zhou and others.
Everyone is currently discussing how to resolve this matter. The reason why no action has been taken until now is entirely because a large number of zombies migrated in from the direction of Gaoyi, cutting off the roads on both sides.
Wei Xiyin nodded, "How many days has Cheng Xiu been away?"
"My dear girl, it has been five days."
Her eyes flickered when she heard that, and she couldn't help but lower her voice, "Have you seen those Zhongshan soldiers?"
The guard was silent for a moment, then replied honestly, "I haven't seen it, but Centurion Cheng seems to know something and told Sergeant Cao about it."
Wei Xiyin fell into deep thought. The Zhongshan Army had been on the march for several days, and there were many marks left by their troops along the way. It was impossible for them to arrive later than them, and Guang'a County was right next to Gaoyi County.
It's easy to tell that if Princess Zhongshan entered Julu County, she would only come from the direction of Gaoyi.
Or did Cheng Xiu do something about this?
She was too lazy to think about it and would ask Cao Awang later to find out.
Since Princess Zhongshan has already learned about the Zhongshan army, there is no difference between joining forces late and early.
The guard saw the large iron cage being pushed behind him and hurriedly took the girl to meet the men.
Chu Yu and Chang Ying followed behind him.
They are now at the border junction between Jingwu County and Guang'a County, and have not yet entered the territory of Guang'a County.
Wei Lang squatted outside the cave, drawing circles on the ground with a dead branch.
Hearing the noise coming from below, he subconsciously looked up and saw his elder sister walking among the guards!
The child stood up in an instant, his eyes suddenly brightening. He threw away the dead branch in his hand and ran excitedly down the mountain, shouting as he ran, "Sister! I'm here!"
After many days, the brother and sister met each other.
Hearing her brother's voice, Wei Xiyin couldn't help but smile. The blazing sun was blinding, and she could only make out a figure running towards her. She narrowed her eyes slightly and waved, "Run slower."
Wait until someone arrives.
She suddenly stopped, as if she had suffered a shock.
My younger brother has grown a little taller, but because he has been working under the scorching sun all these days, his skin has become as dark as a piece of charcoal. He looks like he has escaped from a disaster and is really unbearable to look at.
Chu Yu behind him chuckled, "Erlang Jun and the girl are indeed siblings."
