The news that Wei Xiyin and the Zhongshan army were leaving was not notified to the Zhao clan in advance.
Only when everything was ready did Zhao Yongqian and others receive the news.
Ever since they met Miss Wei, the Zhao clan members were amazed at her meticulousness, resourcefulness and decisiveness, and their original conservative ideas have quietly changed.
After discussion, they unanimously decided to abandon the old customs and let the young ladies in the family go out to work.
Even if I can't have the style of a Wei girl, at least I can learn something.
Of course, they secretly hoped that if there were a few smart young ladies in the family, they would have half the courage and insight of Miss Wei in the future and be able to support the family, that would be a good thing for the entire clan.
I can't compare her with Miss Wei, but I can compare her with the other young ladies in the Wei family.
How are the girls from the Zhao family any worse than those from the Wei family of Qinghe!
Zhao Lingshen brought people to see him off.
"The girl was in such a hurry that we were caught off guard. We didn't even have time to prepare a farewell banquet..." In fact, the Zhao family members were eager for them to leave quickly.
Wei Xiyin smiled and said, "Uncle, you are too polite. There is no need for these empty formalities, such as the farewell banquet. Leave it for next time."
The Zhao clan members behind him paused in their breathing.
next time?
There will be next time!
Oh yes, many people realized that the Zhongshan Army’s headquarters was in Hejian County, the food had not been transported yet, and the wood was still being prepared. Of course, there might be a next time.
They didn't know that Wei Xiyin was planning to return to Qinghe County, and thought she was heading to Raoan County.
The group of people suddenly became unhappy.
Wei Xiyin was in a good mood seeing this. It was true that the sorrows and joys of the world were not the same. She smiled and exchanged polite words with the Zhao family members.
A group of people came to the outside of the fort.
The Zhongshan army outside was well prepared for battle.
Thousands of fully loaded grain carts were parked on the official road. The formation was tight and orderly, and the momentum was huge, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Wei Mingyuan and General Chen were already waiting outside.
Zhao Lingshen hurriedly brought his men forward to greet and bid farewell to the two generals.
Without wasting any time, everyone exchanged greetings and set off.
The huge army began to move, pushing the grain carts slowly forward, raising clouds of dust wherever they passed.
Members of the Zhao clan stood outside the fort, watching the Zhongshan army go away.
They were too happy too early. Before everyone had left, there were still a thousand soldiers left in the garrison outside. Miss Wei said that they stayed behind to hand over the remaining food and supplies.
Wei Xiyin followed the army for a while until they left the Zhao family fortress and stopped at a fork in the road.
She bowed deeply to her third uncle and said, "My niece has left with her people. May your uncles have a successful campaign and return safely."
Wei Mingyuan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and my niece knows what is going on. If I say anything more, it will be just preaching, not instructions.
Wei Xiyin saluted General Chen again and said, "I'll trouble you with Guangping's affairs, General Chen."
Parting is a sad thing. Wei Xiyin did not hesitate and waved her hand in a nonchalant manner. She and Gong Chun took the Wei family's troops to the fork in the road and went to Pingli County to pick up people.
Seeing this, General Chen sighed deeply, not knowing when he would meet Miss Wei again.
After a brief stop, the army set off again.
The two groups of people parted ways and went further and further apart...
………
The boundless land was barren and withered, with no grass growing, the trees scorched yellow, and the cracks in the earth filled with sand and dust.
Throughout the dry season, the sun scorched all traces of life.
Wei Xiyin took away a batch of medicinal herbs, the two hundred small black balls that had been distributed earlier, and the rations needed for the journey.
They took a small road to bypass Zhao's Fort, then returned to the official road, heading in the opposite direction of the army, and hurried to Pingli County.
"Two thousand soldiers were sent to Pingli before. My subordinates have asked about the situation of the Zhao clan. The number of survivors is unknown, but they seem to have found a batch of food and are unwilling to live in the Zhao clan fortress." Qin Shan said as he walked.
Of course he wanted to go back with us.
After returning to Ling County, Chang Ying will leave with the girl. The Wei family army and the remaining troops left in the fortress need someone to take charge of the overall planning.
Wei Xiyin nodded, "So Uncle San guessed that there was a high possibility that our relatives were there. If we go there now, we'll just happen to meet the scouts who set out ahead."
Gong Chun was walking beside her and tilted his head slightly when he heard their conversation.
The Qinghe Wei clan was the most united clan he had ever seen.
The clan members have been united and have been working together for the past year. For the sake of the family, they are willing to put aside old ideas and accept a woman to succeed as the next clan leader.
We are all working towards the same goal, hoping that the family will get better and better.
And the Gong family of Qichuan...
Not even as good as the Zhao family of Hejian.
Gong Chun thought to himself with self-mockery that when he returned to Sizhou, he wondered how many of his clan members would still be alive. If they didn't die at the hands of monsters, they would most likely die at the hands of their own people.
Wei Xiyin certainly didn't know what Gong Chun was thinking.
She and Qin Shan talked as they walked, and the conversation turned to the situation in Raoan County.
"That Mr. Zhao mentioned that he encountered a large zombie wave in the southeast region before. They were short of personnel and weapons, so they couldn't clear it out. So they tried to divert the zombie wave to Guangping."
"Rao'an County is the closest county to Guangping County. The zombie tide is very likely to stay in Rao'an County, affecting the progress."
Qin Shan's worries were not unfounded. The first batch of soldiers who escorted the supplies and searched for the camp had only a thousand people, and the two young men were still in the team.
Wei Xiyin said, "Deputy General Shi is still with them, so they'll be fine. The army behind them is already on their way, and if they can't clear it out, they'll naturally send someone back to report."
