The second gatehouse was not far away, and the soldiers saw from a distance that the arrow tower in front had let them pass.
When the three people and the horse came over, someone immediately opened the door without Wei Xiyin even having to speak.
The gate tower and arrow tower were guarded by the two garrisons in the city.
The soldier thought.
If His Highness blames us, then both camps are to blame. The arrow tower has been opened, so how can they still block people in the middle and not let them go out?
So he opened the door without hesitation.
Wei Xiyin rarely gave the soldier who opened the door a good look and greeted him with a smile. The soldiers were flattered.
The three men and the horse left the city unhindered, walked across the city gate drawbridge, and came out of the city.
The sun is scorching.
The military camps inside and outside the city look completely different.
The soldiers of the vanguard camp were listless and kept wiping their sweat. The two military camps outside were as decadent as ever.
As soon as they arrived, they met Xing Shi's deputy general Zhang Jian, but the two generals were nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Jian stepped forward and saluted honestly, "Miss Wei, how are you?"
This place is just outside the city gate, and the sentries on the gatehouse inside the city can easily see what is happening outside.
Wei Xiyin said lightly, "I want to ride a horse. Lieutenant General Zhang, please find me a good place to ride."
Zhang Jian understood and led the people away.
Until there was no one around.
Zhang Jian glanced around, confirming the surroundings were safe, and then asked in a deep voice, "The princess hasn't come out, but what happened in the city?"
As they were stationed outside the city, they could enter the city at will without any reason. The two generals were inside the city, but they knew nothing about the situation in the palace.
Wei Xiyin replied casually, "Nothing, I just pulled out one of Yuan Sanlang's tiger whiskers, and he got angry out of shame."
Zhang Jian was stunned. What does that mean?
No one reacted.
Wei Xiyin suddenly took out the token given by the princess, and fiddled with it left and right, finally making a small bulge and opening the token.
Only then did Qin Shan and Cheng Xiu discover that the middle of the token was actually hollow.
Inside was a folded piece of paper.
Wei Xiyin handed the item to Zhang Jian, not wanting to interfere in their affairs. She simply said, "I'm still waiting to return to clean up the zombie horde in Anping County and prepare for winter at the fort. I'll only give you five days to avoid any further complications. After five days, no matter how many people you can incite to rebellion, you must begin your action."
It used to be said that time is money.
And now, time is life.
We must get rid of several large zombie waves before winter officially arrives, otherwise the zombies will become stronger and it will be freezing outside, making the danger too great.
She must put the safety of the dock first.
But I don't have the time or the energy to keep staying in Zhongshan Kingdom.
Zhang Jian was slightly surprised. "Five days? That's too short..."
Wei Xiyin waved her hand, her attitude extremely firm. "That's your business. The two generals are nowhere to be seen, so they must have already started to act. This means five days should be enough."
She also felt that five days was too long. The return journey would take quite some time, and she would have to spend some time in Anping County. She was afraid that winter would come when she returned, and she would not have enough time to consolidate the security around Ling County.
If she hadn't been concerned about the troops she needed, she really wanted to use hundreds of explosives to bomb her way straight to the palace.
Wei Xiyin said, "By the way, if you have any message for the princess, please inform my troops in the city. They will contact me if they have any news."
Zhang Jian took a deep breath when he heard this.
The matter is of great importance. When plotting rebellion, one should be extremely cautious, plan ten steps at a time, and act cautiously.
How can you just do something just to save time!
I really don't know where Miss Wei gets such a big tone from.
You have to know that even if you put aside the two vanguard battalions, the rest of the Zhongshan army has more than 18,000 people. If you want to defeat the minority with the majority, even if you can finally succeed in taking Zhongren County, the price will definitely be very heavy.
That's why.
The two generals have been very busy recently, trying to test the attitudes of the envoy's former friends, find out their opinions, and control the intelligence of various military camps, in order to minimize the casualties of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Miss Wei is really...
Zhang Jian was so angry that he didn't know what to say and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing this, Wei Xiyin couldn't help but slow down her tone, "Don't worry, the soldiers won't resist. If all else fails, you can just go all out and kill all those generals and commanders. Once you capture the palace, the princess will raise her arm and the armies will be leaderless. Won't they surrender?"
The corners of Zhang Jian's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression seemed to say, 'It's so easy for you to say it'.
Wei Xiyin was helpless seeing this.
If people don't believe her, what else can she do?
She turned around and whispered to Cheng Xiu, mumbling a lot.
Cheng Xiu listened very carefully, nodded in agreement from time to time, wrote down every word the girl said, and then left, heading south to look for Wei Ling and Mr. Qu.
Zhang Jian saw this and nodded helplessly. "I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to consult the two generals. After they discuss it, I will find a way to pass the news to the city."
"I'll have to trouble you to bring the news to the princess when the time comes."
Zhang Jian is not stupid, but very smart.
Yesterday, the two young ladies agreed to go riding, but the princess did not come out with Miss Wei. It must be because the princess's movements were restricted and it was not convenient for her to go out.
Fortunately, there is Miss Wei who can come and go freely.
Zhang Jian had the same idea as Cheng Xiu on this matter.
The unruly and arrogant personality is indeed useful. Not only them, but even Yuan Saburo can't do anything to the girl.
After the conversation, they separated outside the city.
Zhang Jian returned to the camp with the note.
Wei Xiyin thought it was too hot outside, so she asked Qin Shan to lead the horse. The two of them found a shady place and sat down to wait for Cheng Xiu to come back.
The horse was very docile and would follow her wherever she led it.
After the two sat down, it stood aside, standing upright, with strong and powerful limbs, its long mane and tail swaying slightly, and its dark hair was bright and smooth, emitting a luster under the scorching sun.
The more Wei Xiyin looked at it, the more envious she became. She couldn't help but stand up and stand beside it, touching its head again and again.
The horse seemed to enjoy her touch and gently rubbed its head against her hand.
"So obedient? How about you be my mount from now on?"
Wei Xiyin coaxed, "Don't say anything? If you don't say anything, then I'll take it as your consent."
Qin Shan: “…” It would be weird if it could talk.
Wei Xiyin didn't notice Qin Shan's speechless expression, and continued to ramble, "Then you live in the yard first. I'll ask my wife in five days. What do you like to eat? Do you like carrots? We have them in the fort. The food is definitely better than what you have in this hellhole. As long as you come back with me, I'll provide you with delicious food and drink every day..."
Qin Shan was silent.
Is this girl crazy about wanting a horse?
Another half hour passed and Mr. Cheng returned late.
Three people and a horse are preparing to return to the city.
This time, Wei Xiyin didn't let them lead the horse, but led it herself.
She thought she might as well develop some feelings with the horse now.
We have to build good relationships first, right?
