Wei Xiyin felt a little relieved after hearing this, "It seems that the little girl has found her own thing to do."
Uncle Wu laughed and said, "I'm not as timid as I used to be. My workshop is in the county town. I leave at dawn and come back in the evening. I can walk back and forth by myself."
Wei Xiyin nodded: "This is a good thing. I don't need anyone to wait on me. She has her own things to do and her life is fulfilling. I will go to Mingjing Hall and tell them later. Ningshuang's wages and rations will be paid in the future."
She looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost three quarters past noon.
The temperature is high and the sun is scorching in summer.
People usually don't go out at noon.
If she missed the right time, the scouts might all be out on duty by the time she got there, and she would be disappointed.
"Uncle Wu, go ahead and do your work. I'll go look around the camp."
Uncle Wu nodded in agreement. "Well, then you can go over and see the children. The school has martial arts classes this afternoon. It's over at the southeast camp."
Wei Xiyin paused as she was about to leave. She thought for a moment and asked politely, "How is Wen Kang doing lately?"
She remembered what Cookie said before she left.
Wen Kang is four years old this year and is the youngest generation in the fort. The child is at the age of being naughty and actually brought weapons to class. Because the two elderly people in the family are old, Principal Qu did not dare to mention this matter to their home.
She was busy with the expedition to Zhongshan Kingdom at that time and had no time to take care of it.
After so many days of delay, if the child behaves naughtily again, we can't let her go to confess to Principal Qu in a humiliated manner.
Uncle Wu didn't understand what she meant and thought Wu Niang was concerned about her nephew's studies. He said cheerfully, "My nephew is very obedient. There's no need to worry about him. He's doing very well in his studies."
Wei Xiyin said "hmm" doubtfully.
She remembered that when Erlang got into trouble as a child, Uncle Wu looked the same when his grandfather and father asked him about it, and he smiled and praised him casually.
So what Uncle Wu said should be taken with a grain of salt!
Whether it’s good or not, she’ll know after she meets Principal Qu.
Just like Cookie said, no matter how busy we are, we must not relax when it comes to our children’s education.
Wei Xiyin went out and headed towards the camp.
Wei Lang ran excitedly to the yard to put his clothes away. When he came out and saw his sister leaving, he quickly ran to the yard to pick up his long tasseled spear and followed her out.
The sun is glaring.
The street outside was quiet, not a single person in sight.
Almost all the people living in the dock were members of the Wei clan. As the workshops in the county town started to operate one after another, fewer and fewer people stayed in the dock during the day, and even the women were nowhere to be seen.
In addition, it was during the break and no one was walking around outside.
Wei Xiyin walked slowly and looked around. Actually, there was nothing to see because no one was home and the doors and windows of most houses were closed.
The two camps were located on the left and right of the south side of the fort's gate, and they arrived there in less than a moment.
Wei Xiyin turned to look at the little tail behind him and asked with a stern face: "Where are your soldiers? Do you still want to be a sergeant?"
Even though he was in a bad mood, Ma had accepted the gift and agreed to deliver it, so now it was time to get back to work.
Always follow what she does.
Wei Lang saw his sister's unhappy expression and couldn't help but stop and take two steps back. He opened his innocent eyes and pointed at the camp gate, "Sister, I'm not following you. This is the way to the camp. My soldiers are all inside."
Wei Xiyin thought about it and it seemed so.
No, when did Jilang become smart?
I also knew that she was annoyed by the fact that someone was following her all the time, so she tried to stop her with words.
Before she could think about it.
Wei Lang was afraid of being punished, so he ran into the southwest camp without giving her a chance to speak.
Wei Xiyin stared at his running back for a while, then stepped into the southeast camp gate thoughtfully.
The guard at the door saluted immediately when he saw the girl.
Wei Xiyin waved her hand and walked in, saying, "Let Chang Ying come to see me first."
The camp was equally deserted.
The training ground was empty, with only a few guards standing guard around.
The children have martial arts class in the afternoon, but it’s not time yet.
The guards who patrol security are divided into three shifts. Except for those who are on duty, most of them are taking a lunch break in the house, and the rest are patrolling outside and will not come back to rotate until the evening.
Qin Shan was not at home. He had just returned and went to the county town to ask Zhang Yuanyan about the training of the new recruits.
Wei Xiyin walked to the room where she handled general affairs with a familiar manner.
Who would have thought that it would be a failure.
As soon as he sat down, Chang Ying received the news and rushed over.
"Girl." Chang Ying stepped forward and saluted.
Knowing that the girl came here, she probably came here for Guangping's matter, which she didn't have time to mention outside just now.
Chang Ying took the initiative to say, "The scouts are not here. A few days ago, a zombie tide was discovered in the direction of Yimu County. It concerns the safety of the fort. I sent scouts out to monitor the zombie tide, but they haven't returned yet."
Uncle Wu didn't know about this.
Discovery of a zombie tide is generally not disclosed to the tribe. Firstly, to avoid causing panic, and secondly, the main force has not returned, so they cannot leave to clean up. They can only send people to observe the direction of movement and take security measures.
Wei Xiyin was not in a hurry after hearing this. Yimu was too close, and the zombie tide was more important. Moreover, his third uncle had already led his troops there, and the scouts would surely come back with them.
But the question still needs to be asked. The scout must have communicated with Chang Ying after returning.
Wei Xiyin turned to look at Chang Ying and asked, "Do you know what's going on in Guangping?"
"My lady, the scouts followed your orders and divided into two groups to arrive at Guangping. One group went to Guangping County, the seat of government, and the other group went to Gu's fortress." Gu's geographical location is at the junction of three counties, below Guangping.
As Chang Ying spoke, his expression grew serious. "According to the intelligence our scouts have gathered, Guangping County has been taken under control. We've discovered Yizhou troops stationed in the county, numbering approximately 15,000. Their commander is Wang Kangsheng, the Chief Clerk of the Provincial Governor's Office. We haven't seen any sightings of Governor Gong..."
Wei Xiyin paused when she heard this.
Is Gong Changjun really dead?
The Chief Secretary is an assistant official under the Governor, equivalent to the position of Secretary General or Chief of Staff.
As a civilian official, commanding an army?
That alone is unusual.
"The scouts who rushed to the Gu family's fort discovered that the Gu family had already left and no trace of them was found in the territory." Chang Ying continued to report.
Wei Xiyin tapped her fingers on the edge of the table, squinting her eyes slightly. "Have you found any trace of the Ten Directions Sect?"
The Gu family's status in the Shifang Sect is obviously not low.
The Ten Directions Sect has a close relationship with the former subordinates of King Qi. Rounding it off, she reasonably suspected that the Gu family was one of the former subordinates of King Qi, or that they wanted to gain power through the Ten Directions Sect?
You should know that the Guangping Gu family has a deep origin. The family reached its peak during the previous dynasty, but it has been in decline since the change of dynasties, and its status and reputation have plummeted.
If you fall from a high place and feel unwilling to accept it, it is not impossible to take another approach.
“No.”
Chang Ying reported truthfully, "The scouts also discovered a county town in Guangping that had begun self-rescue efforts. It was located a little further away, in Pingli County, north of the government seat."
"When someone went out to look for water, they almost ran into scouts heading to Gu's Fort. The scouts followed the clues and found that Pingli County was carrying out self-rescue efforts."
