Chapter 427 The Man Behind the Scenes (I)



Why is Gong Chun so anxious?

The Gong family of Qichuan is torn apart, and the internal struggle is more severe than the external crisis. If you want to successfully take over such a family, it is not enough to rely solely on the identity of a direct descendant.

He had been away for a long time and had lost the initiative. Going back now would be of no use.

"Hongnong County should have started taking action." During the evening rest, Gong Chun found a free time and said as soon as he came over.

The group has reached the border of Fengling County. Tomorrow they will enter Qichuan County, and then cross Qichuan to reach Fufeng.

Wei Xiyin nodded slightly and did not hide it from him, "I left twenty scouts in Hongnong."

Unfortunately, the message transmission is delayed and I don’t know how long it will take to receive the message.

Gong Chun looked at her sideways and said, "Then, girl, guess whether we can successfully catch the person behind the scenes?"

Wei Xiyin shook her head, "It's hard to say."

On the surface, it looks like there's a good chance of winning.

But a long time has passed since the zombie wave was brought in, and the enemy has not appeared.

Those people in Hongnong County were plotted against for a long time, but they couldn't even catch the enemy's tail.

Everyone guessed that the other party came for food.

Wei Xiyin felt like something was wrong.

You have to know that zombies are uncontrollable. It is easy to invite them but difficult to send them away. Once the zombie tide enters the territory of Hongnong, the granary is very likely to be destroyed. If it is really for the sake of food, then wouldn’t it be possible that all efforts will fail?

If not for food, then what are they coming for?

Do you just want to kill all the people in Sizhou?

Wei Xiyin said, "The people behind this are too vicious. I selfishly want them to be able to catch people. Even if they can't catch them, at least we should know who the enemy is, so we should be more vigilant."

When fighting against each other, we should be like the King of Hedong and the King of Cheng'an, who serve the people and their own children. Because of their different positions, they each set up their own camps, make plans, and use negotiations as the main method to achieve their own goals.

The enemy in the dark is obviously not.

Dong Zhiyao came over at this time.

Dong Zhiyao has been very busy these days as he is responsible for training the women's army. He does not want any casualties to occur during the journey, so he keeps a close eye on the training.

Gong Chun pretended he didn't exist, thought for a moment, and said, "It's useless to overthink it. We'll know the result soon."

If those people are really useless, then we still have to rely on them.

The key point is, what role can more than 2,000 people play in this chaotic situation?

Gong Chun couldn't help but look at Yuan Jin in the distance.

Wei Xiyin followed his gaze.

Yuan Jin and Wei Lang sat by the campfire in the distance. They huddled together and took out the whistle Gong Chun had given them during the New Year. They put the two whistles together for comparison and commented on the workmanship.

Gong Chun's face immediately turned dark.

Wei Xiyin: “…” The important thing is to rush to Fufeng County as soon as possible.

The next day.

The team broke camp and set off, entering the territory of Qichuan.

Qichuan is the base camp of the Gong family. If you originally went through Hongnong County, you could cross it and go directly to Fufeng County.

But because they took a detour, they had to pass through an extra county.

Early spring is coming.

The snow along the way has not melted yet, and tender green buds have sprouted on both sides of the ridges on both sides of the road, covering a thin layer of green velvet carpet, and the earth is finally showing a hint of vitality.

Shortly after entering Qichuan County, the scouts discovered something.

The snow on the official road should have been smooth, but the footprints on the surface were of varying depths, with obvious signs of being trampled on.

Not only that, in addition to those bumpy footprints, there are also two long crushing marks in the snow.

Wei Xiyin received the report from the scout and immediately became alert. He ordered the team to stop and find a place to hide their whereabouts.

She gave the order with a serious look, "Clean up all traces of our arrival!"

Chang Ying quickly led his troops to do so.

Dong Zhiyao looked at Gong Chun with a deep gaze, "According to the information we know, all the survivors in Qichuan have already moved to Lushi County. There shouldn't be anyone in Qichuan at this time."

If they weren't the local surviving people, then...

"It is very likely that this is the enemy that Hongnong is looking for." Wei Xiyin narrowed her eyes and looked around at the deathly silent environment.

Perhaps because they knew that there was no one in Qichuan, they didn't even cover up any traces along the way.

Yes, the snow would have melted in a day or two, so there was really no need to clear it.

He was still trying hard to lure out the enemy, but she accidentally bumped into him while she was on her way.

If you don't want to participate, you have to bump into her.

Gong Chun sneered, "Who would have thought that he would hide in Qichuan, right behind the three great families in Hongnong County."

They entered Qichuan from Fengling County in the east and took a detour. In fact, Qichuan was just above Hongnong County.

Wei Xiyin gave the order, and the team obeyed the order and retreated quickly to an abandoned village in the border area.

Even the Hedong Army was helping to clear traces along the route.

Gong Chun is most familiar with the Qichuan area.

He was born and raised in Qichuan.

A group of people hid in the ruined village and rested against several tilted walls.

Wei Xiyin asked, "Where do you think those people are hiding, Liu Langjun?"

Gong Chun's eyes were as cold as ice. He opened his lips and slowly uttered, "Gongjiawubao."

"To protect the granary, our entire clan, along with all the people in the territory, moved to Lushi County." He continued, "My family is the only place with the best defense in the entire Qichuan."

Uninhabited houses deteriorate very quickly, especially during heavy snow in winter. The snow on the roofs is left uncleaned, and collapsed houses are everywhere. The entire Qichuan County has long been deserted.

I just don't know if the Gong family has left anyone to look after the house.

If there were anyone left in the fort, they would probably be in great danger.
