As previously agreed.
Yuan Yuwan was supposed to arrive at the fort in early October.
But Zhongshan was in a state of disrepair and there were too many things to worry about, so I had to send the letter over first, and it was delayed until now.
This trip was personally escorted by Yuan Wu, who led the guard battalion.
When they were halfway there, the weather had changed. Xing Shi was worried and ordered Zhang Jian to lead his troops to follow behind them until they entered Qinghe County.
Things are different now.
After all, she is the king of Zhongshan, and her safety concerns the entire Zhongshan.
Xing Shi wanted to come along himself, but Zhongshan couldn't do without loyal people like them to garrison there. General Chen had already led his troops away, and Zhongshan needed the Left Vanguard Battalion to stay behind to guard the government office.
After hearing what his third great-uncle said, Wei Xiyin bowed and thanked him, "Nephew, I understand. I'll go out and greet them right away."
Wei Zhongxun nodded slightly and looked her up and down. "Put on a cloak before going out. It's cold outside."
As he said this, he ordered the servant beside him to fetch a hat to block the wind.
Then, without waiting for her to thank him, he turned and walked into the main courtyard.
Wei Xiyin could only say to Dong Zhiyao with an apologetic look on her face: "Brother Yao, please go with the servants to settle down first. I will come to find you when I am done."
Dong Zhiyao didn't even take a break when he saw her come back, and kept busy.
With a slight sigh, he said, "Go ahead."
The little girl from that year finally grew up and became a girl who could protect the clan from wind and rain and was more outstanding than any other boy in the world.
Dong Zhiyao left with his servants.
After Wei Ji gave his instructions for a while, Uncle Wu had already arranged everything and prepared a guest house for him.
Coincidentally, the mansion arranged for them was right next to Chu Yu and Qu Qi's home.
The two gentlemen have received the news of the girl's return.
Knowing that the girl would be leaving again soon, they all put down what they were doing and returned to the fort to meet her.
As soon as he reached the door, he happened to meet a scout from Zhongshan State who came to report the news.
Knowing that His Highness Zhongshan would be arriving soon and that the girl would definitely come out to greet him, Chu Yu and Qu Qi simply waited in the research institute next to the gate and ordered the guards on duty to notify them when they saw the girl come out.
"I'm afraid the weather this year will be even more difficult than last year."
Cookie sighed, "I'm starting to believe this is a punishment from God. How could it be such a coincidence that the weather was abnormal and a monster appeared..."
“Who else but God can do this?”
"I heard from the Wei family that the monster first appeared in Jingzhou. I heard that Mr. Chu just returned from Jingzhou. Could you tell me what the situation is like in Jingzhou?"
Chu Yu had a blank expression on his face, his mind jumping back and forth between plugging his ears and sewing up Cookie's mouth.
Cookie was used to being looked down upon, and after becoming familiar with Chu Yu, he became even more unrestrained.
"Mr. Chu was once an advisor to the King of Changsha. If he knows something, he should tell this young lady."
"The young lady is about to depart for Kyoto. She has great ambitions and wants to destroy these monsters. Now that you are loyal to her, you should naturally abandon your old master and be open and honest..."
Chu Yu closed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Yu knows his own limits. Instead of worrying about Yu's situation, Mr. Biscuit should care about himself."
"His Majesty Zhongshan will arrive soon and might ask about the explosives." Chu Yu tilted his head and asked him, "Are those little black balls Mr. Biscuit made enough to pay off his debt?"
Cookie: “…”
He suffers a heart attack when it comes to paying off debts.
A while ago, a batch of small black balls were produced, but the Zhongshan Kingdom sent people to take them away. Duke Wei stepped in and let the Zhongshan Kingdom take away another 300 balls.
There are still 1,450 pieces owed.
After that, they worked overtime and recently produced another batch, but it was reserved for the girls to take away.
It's like working hard during this period of time, but the debt remains the same.
Cookie was filled with sorrow, but suddenly paused, turned around and asked, "Why did Mr. Chu call me that just now? What is Mr. Biscuit?"
Chu Yu looked calm, "I don't know either. I just accidentally heard the girl call her that last time. If Mr. Biscuit is curious, you can ask the girl directly later."
Cookie: “…” The girl actually gave him a nickname behind his back?
I didn’t expect the girl to be such a person!
Cookie wanted to rush over and ask clearly!
At this time, the guard came to inform that the girl came out of the dock.
Without thinking, he walked out, intending to go over and "demand punishment."
Chu Yu had a calm expression on his face as he followed him leisurely.
I would rather die than let my friend die.
The girl has been quiet for so long that she has to think about the people below and help share the burden for a few days.
As Wei Xiyin walked out of the dock suspension bridge, she saw Cookie striding towards her.
The wind roared and whistled, mixed with tiny snow particles.
Cookie's clothes rustled as they were blown close to his body by the strong wind. His facial expression became distorted by the wind, his eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were narrowed, and his lips were closed with difficulty due to the wind.
So Wei Xiyin had no idea that he was here to call for punishment.
Wait closer.
The wind was against him, and Cookie was filled with wind as soon as he opened his mouth.
He couldn't speak clearly, his momentum was reduced, and he suddenly became dispirited.
Wei Xiyin was fine, wearing a bamboo hat and lowering her head slightly to block the wind. She spoke louder on purpose, fearing Cookie wouldn't hear her.
"His Highness Zhongshan will be here soon. Gentlemen, please follow me to the door to greet him."
Chu Yu nodded slightly.
Cookie was a little reluctant. If His Highness really asked what to do about the little black ball later, given the girl's personality, she would definitely blame him...
But since he was a man who followed orders, he had to follow the girl's orders.
The three of them said nothing more and walked to a sheltered spot near the gate and waited.
The ceiling above the door was blown loose and made noises after being swept by strong winds in the past few days.
Wei Xiyin squinted her eyes and looked around for a while, but because she was wearing a hat, her vision was limited and she couldn't find where the sound came from.
She thought of the corner tower built in Zhao's fortress and wondered if it was too late to build it now.
The wind is so strong that I’m afraid it will collapse halfway through construction.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long.
As people stood in the windproof area beside the wall, they heard the sound of horse hooves outside, which was almost drowned out by the wind.
A group of people and horses walked with difficulty in the wind, getting closer and closer, and arrived at the gate of the wall.
Yuan Wu saw the girl standing at the door from a distance, and walked forward to bow.
When the carriage stopped, Yuan Yuwan came out.
She was also wearing a cloak and a hat. When the wind blew, she quickly reached out to hold the cloak and hat tightly around her.
This is not the place to talk.
Wei Xiyin said, "Your Highness, I hope you are well. Let's go inside and talk."
Wei Li behind him had also come down. It was difficult for him to speak, so he nodded slightly to his cousin and the two gentlemen behind him.
The group returned to the dock urgently.
Wei Li went home first to pay his respects to his grandfather and parents.
Yuan Yuwan still lives in the same guesthouse as before.
The group entered the house and closed the door.
Yuan Yuwan took off the veil on her head and said softly, "It's my fault for keeping you waiting."
