Wei Xiyin called Zhao Yongjin over again and said kindly, "Regarding a visit, one should prepare a visiting card in advance, but as Young Master Zhao has seen, the conditions in the army are very poor. I'll have to trouble you to go back and pass on the message. I'll be here with the army shortly."
Zhao Yongjin felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"What do you mean, girl?"
What do you mean by "the army will arrive later"? ! ! !
Didn’t we agree to just visit?
Why did the army still go to Zhao?
Wei Xiyin smiled slightly, "What are you thinking, Mr. Zhao? Guangping is of vital importance. The army will not stay in Mo County for long."
But deep down I was thinking: You've been in the army for three days and you've seen everything you need to see.
There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides. I believe you have already made a scale in your mind, and it is naturally time for you to take the stage.
Zhao Yongjin was completely confused about her attitude and didn't react for a while.
Wei Xiyin didn't care much and asked Cheng Xiu beside her, "By the way, what day is it today? I was so busy traveling all day that I forgot."
"My lady, it is already the end of autumn, and tomorrow will be October." Cheng Xiu replied respectfully.
"It's almost October."
Wei Xiyin sighed deeply, "It's already been a year without me noticing. Winter is even more dangerous. I definitely won't be able to return."
Zhao Yongjin suddenly seemed to understand.
This was said specifically for him.
Indeed, if they rush to Guangping County now, they might just catch up with winter. By then, the area will be covered with ice and snow, and the monsters will become stronger. The Zhongshan army will probably be in great danger.
So the girl means...
Before he could sort out his thoughts.
Wei Xiyin turned to look at him again, "Mr. Zhao, please go back quickly, otherwise it will be dark soon."
If you can’t figure it out, go back and ask someone smart to help you figure it out.
Don't waste her time anymore.
Wei Xiyin was not polite at all. She threw the things away after use and directly ordered the people to be chased away.
Zhao Yongjin led his people away in a daze.
A thousand militiamen were naturally faster than the army dragging a pile of military supplies. They hurried all the way and returned to the vicinity of Zhao's Fort in just three hours.
The patrolling troops and militia took a look and said, "It's Jin Langjun and his men who are back!"
Zhao Yongjin nodded perfunctorily in response. His mind was full of what the girl said along the way. He ran towards the gate of the fort in a panic, hoping to seek advice from his elders and cousins.
Inside the dock.
In the clan hall near the ancestral hall, Zhao Yongqian and others were discussing winter arrangements with their uncles.
The Zhao family had no shortage of food, but living off the land was not a solution. Like the Wei family, the first thing they thought of was to try growing food themselves.
The surrounding fertile fields were seriously polluted, and there was no manpower to reclaim new fields in the early stage. It was not until the summer that things were sorted out and some fields were reclaimed. However, during the dry season, the harvest of crops was extremely poor and could be completely ignored.
Zhao Yongqian suggested trying to build a shed in winter.
"Plants grow rapidly in the spring, and the newly reclaimed fields are just the right place to plant a batch of food to feed the land. As long as we survive the winter and store enough food and ice in the spring, everything will be fine next year."
Everyone had a hard time this summer. They stored up some ice in the winter, but it all melted before the temperature reached its highest point.
The drought was worse than expected. If the Kang family hadn't been there and stockpiled enough medicinal materials in advance, who knows how many people would have died from the heat.
"Then dig a few dozen more ice cellars this year, and dig them deeper."
One of the uncles said, "Let Yongzhong take care of this."
Zhao Yongzhong agreed, "Nephew knows."
The families sitting together had never had a good relationship in the past. They were relatives, but also competitors, and often clashed over trivial matters.
For example, the uncle who ordered Zhao Yongzhong to do things had once had a huge argument with his father over the division of land in the clan, and even came to the door to beat him up.
But now everyone understands in their hearts.
It is normal for tribesmen who live together day and night to have minor quarrels. In the face of the crisis of genocide, tribesmen must unite to overcome the difficulties.
When faced with major issues of right and wrong, the Zhao clan members still have a clear mind, otherwise they would not have been able to clear out Mo County with the power of the clan alone.
Talk about it.
A dozen or so members of the clan who were on the board walked out of the clan hall and the crowd dispersed.
The servant who delivered the message outside and Zhao Yongjin came walking quickly with anxious faces.
The two of them walked briskly and headed straight for the clan hall.
The servant was in a hurry because he wanted to run back to pass on the news, but it turned out that Mr. Jin seemed to have something urgent to do and actually ran after him. Although he didn't know what it was, seeing Mr. Jin so anxious, the servant also became anxious.
Zhao Yongjin saw from afar that everyone was at the door of the clan hall. He didn't care about etiquette and his voice arrived before anyone else.
"Uncles, please stay! Your nephew has something important to report!" He hurriedly called out to the clansmen who were about to leave.
When Zhao Lingfeng saw his son return safely, his heart, which had just been relieved, immediately became heavy again.
"Is there something wrong out there?" Could it be that the monster army is impossible to clear out? Are they all heading towards Mo County?
The expressions of the people who were about to leave changed slightly, and they stopped where they were.
Before I knew it, Zhao Yongjin had already run up to him.
He didn't bother to salute, and said hurriedly, "It's Zhongshan State. Zhongshan State sent 10,000 troops to Guangping to search for Governor Gong. They have already arrived in Mo County!"
As soon as the words fell.
There was a sound of inhalation all around.
If they can send out 10,000 troops, then the number of troops left in Zhongshan State must be even greater!
Then Zhao Yongjin dropped another shocking news, "The leader of the troops is a young woman. She said she wanted to visit the fort and asked my nephew to go ahead and deliver the message."
Zhao Lingfeng was a little confused.
Did he hear it right?!
The young lady leads the troops?
However, Zhao Yongjin didn't give them time to digest the news. He quickly cut to the chase, starting with the moment they were captured by the Zhongshan Army...
