Dong Zhiyao put down his chopsticks and said, "There's something fishy about this, but I'm sure they have no ill intentions."
Wei Xiyin nodded slightly.
However, I always feel uneasy when I receive favors from others for no reason and I don’t know the other person’s identity.
She thought for a moment and instructed Cheng Xiu, "Go back again and tell them we have some medicinal herbs and a medical officer with us, so we can go and help them."
Of course the medical officer didn’t, so what.
Always find a way to meet people first.
"Yes!" Cheng Xiu took the order and went to the city gate again.
After everyone goes out.
Gong Chun spoke slowly: "If he avoids seeing me, he might be someone I know."
"Someone you know?" Wei Xiyin frowned and turned to look at Gong Chun, "Could it be someone you know well?"
Lingqiu County is very close to Sizhou, separated only by a county town, and used to be the territory of Sizhou.
The Gong family of Qichuan was in Sizhou.
It would make sense if the leader knew Gong Liulang.
"no."
Gong Chun said with great conviction, "I stayed in the tent the whole time yesterday and didn't come out. Those people only changed their minds and opened the city gate after Chang Ying passed by."
The implication is that people in the city might know Chang Ying.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiyin turned her head and looked at Chang Ying.
She used to be a lady from a noble family, and her interactions were mostly with the ladies of other families, and she rarely saw men from other families.
If the other party knows Chang Ying, he is likely to have a relationship with the eldest son's family.
Chang Ying endured the gazes of the three people and put down his chopsticks silently, "I don't know either. When I was in Kyoto, I had dealings with many major families and officials. There were too many people who knew me, so I really don't know who it is."
Wei Xiyin nodded.
That's true.
My grandfather was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and people in Kyoto were lining up to curry his favor. As a retainer of the eldest son's family, Chang Ying was always guarding my grandfather. It was possible that the other party knew Chang Ying, but it was not certain that Chang Ying recognized the other party.
Such a definition is too broad, like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is impossible to determine its identity.
Suddenly, no one spoke in the room and it became quiet.
Gong Chun glanced at the table opposite him and saw that the other people at the table had stopped eating, only Wei Lang opposite him was still concentrating on eating.
This kid really eats a lot. The whole big pot of porridge was almost finished. They each only ate a small bowl, and the rest went into his stomach.
Wei Lang was very happy and didn't care what they were talking about at all.
He had dreamed about meat last night. When he woke up, his sister had someone make meat porridge for him, which made him very happy.
And outside.
Dashan saw someone walking towards him, and tried to hide with a bitter face, but Cheng Xiu opposite him had already seen him.
The temperature was too low and everyone was wearing a lot of clothes, so it was actually difficult to recognize them.
But Dashan's body shape is the same as Ji Dalangjun, very conspicuous and can be recognized from a distance.
Cheng Xiu said, "My chieftain heard that your leader was ill and was very worried. We have an officer with us and some medicine. Please let us know so that we can arrange for a doctor to come and examine the patient immediately."
Dashan: “…” Now it was his turn to be speechless.
How to refuse now?
Dashan didn't know why the leader and his descendants avoided this group of people.
He was just a man who followed orders and could only do what he was told.
Dashan was extremely anxious at this moment, almost spinning in circles. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good excuse to refuse.
"Brother?" Cheng Xiu couldn't help but call out again.
Everyone was dressed warmly, with only their eyes exposed, and their facial expressions could not be seen, so Cheng Xiu did not notice anything unusual about him.
Dashan could only muffle his words and said, "Then I'll go and ask for instructions. You go back to the west of the city and wait."
Cheng Xiu was helpless.
I had to return to the yard again.
The Chinese New Year is coming in a few days.
After settling down, the guards took advantage of the two days of free time to wash clothes in the yard, except for those on duty.
When they were traveling, they seldom had time to stop and wash things, and the time on the road was very tight. Even if they washed, it would be useless because there was no place to dry the clothes.
It's a good opportunity to wash my clothes and dry them by the campfire during these few days so that I can wear something clean on New Year's Day.
After Wei Xiyin finished her breakfast, she sent her brother out to help the guards with their work.
It's bad enough to eat a lot, but it's not good enough not to work.
Even if he is my biological brother, it’s not allowed!
Dong Zhiyao simply ordered the women's army to gather and train them.
Chang Ying also went out, leading a group of soldiers to wander around the county town to see if he could get any information.
moment.
In the room, only Wei Xiyin and Gong Chun were left staring at each other.
Wei Xiyin asked tentatively, "Sixth Prince, why don't you go out and find something to do?"
Gong Chun sneered, "What does Patriarch Wei want me to do outside?"
Wei Xiyin choked when she heard this.
It seems that there is really no work that Gong Chun can do now. We can't ask him to go out and help the soldiers wash clothes.
She asked, "Where are your own clothes?"
Gong Chun looked disgusted and said, "I washed it a long time ago."
He was not as sloppy as the guards. He could not sleep without washing his clothes every day. Whenever he stopped to rest along the way, he would first take care of his personal hygiene and other issues.
Now Wei Xiyin was speechless, and the two of them continued to stare at each other.
The other end.
Dashan hurried into a large house in the east.
"Chief, they said they have a medical officer and medicinal materials with them, and they want to come to consult with you."
Wei Mingzhang and others: “…”
Does Wu Niang have to see them?
"Ah!" Wei Mingxiu sighed deeply, "We were so flustered at the time that we hadn't thought it through at all."
"Just imagine, in this world, receiving favors from others for no reason and not asking for anything in return, given Chang Ying's personality, he would definitely be suspicious."
He said slowly: "Unless you find a way to dispel their doubts, if you refuse again this time, Wu Niang might find other ways to come to your house." Or just force your way in.
Wei Mingzhang and his team stayed in the hot spring villa for the entire winter and were aware of the changes in the fort.
Wu Niang was very capable. She led people to find food in the dangerous situation at that time, and expanded the fortress in a big way in the spring. Of course, they noticed the big movement.
The six younger generations below became uneasy and waited helplessly for their uncles to make a decision.
They really couldn't imagine what kind of expression their fifth cousin would have when they saw them.
Would it be a look of disgust?
Or are you extremely angry... and want to avenge your dead tribesmen?
Everyone subconsciously wants to escape and doesn't want to face it at all.
Of course, Wei Xu is an exception.
If they hadn't shown up at that time, Wei Xu would have died.
Probably because he ran away from home and was too embarrassed to go back, Wei Xu took the initiative to follow them and wander around.
Wei Mingzhang was silent for a long time. "Let's arrange for someone smarter to be the leader for now. We'll deal with this first."
"The county town is so big. As long as we don't go out and they don't force their way in, we won't encounter them."
Wu Niang will not stay long. When the snow stops or after the New Year, she will lead her troops to Kyoto.
There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year, so we just need to get through these days.
