It seems that I can't leave for the time being.
Wei Xiyin breathed a sigh of relief. "Please, my lady, send someone to Huayin County immediately to report the situation. If they are truly enemies, please notify them to come here as soon as possible."
Why should she help these people?
Helping them find the enemy's tracks is already a great honor!
Yuan Jin came back to his senses, "Yes! We must inform my brother and the others immediately."
Captain Zheng beside him received the order and hurried down to make arrangements.
It takes time to send messages back and forth.
Although it is impossible to confirm it based on some footprints and vehicle traces along the way, as everyone said, all the survivors in Qichuan had already moved to Lu's County, and it is impossible for so many footprints to appear nearby.
Apart from the enemy, there is no way to imagine who it could be.
………
Gong's Fort.
The room was pitch black, with only a faint light coming through the cracks in the window.
It seems that a breeze is blowing, bringing a breath of spring.
"I never thought that one day I would return to my own fortress as a prisoner." Gong Zong leaned against the wall and suddenly laughed at himself.
In the dim room.
Six people were sitting in a corner away from the door, leaning or lying down.
No one answered.
All the doors and windows around were sealed, and through the gaps, one could see human figures swaying outside the house from time to time.
The six of them have been detained here for several days.
When they were attacked by the enemy, they thought they were doomed to die. However, after the enemy caught them, they covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs and knocked them unconscious.
When they woke up again, they appeared here.
The three members of the Gong family immediately recognized that this was their own fortress based on its familiar walls and roof.
I was suddenly shocked and angry.
No matter how fiercely the family members fought, all the clansmen regarded the fort as their home. Now they were told that the place where the Gong family had lived for generations had been occupied.
How can I not be angry!
The uncle of the Dou family was calmer than them and analyzed, "They didn't kill us right away, probably because they thought we could still be useful. You three are most familiar with this place, so why don't you think about how to escape and report it?"
Hongnong County was besieged by a large army of monsters. No one knew what the situation was, and it was impossible for the outsiders to take care of the six missing people.
The only way is to save yourself.
"How do we escape?" Gong Zong sneered at the shadows reflected in the window. "This is Gong's territory, yes, but look outside, it's filled with enemy shadows. We can't even get out of this room. How can we escape?"
Everyone present was an elder, but they did not refute what was said and fell silent at the same time.
After a while, Mr. Dou Ba said in a muffled voice, "Then let's wait and see. We can use our calmness to control our movements and find out the enemy's details."
I can’t say anything else, but there is no force near the capital that the two families are not familiar with.
Who knew that spring would come before we knew it.
For so many days, no one paid any attention to them. Only one person came every day and stuffed some coarse grains through the crack of the door to prevent them from starving to death.
Gong Zong once tried to strike up a conversation with the people who delivered the food, or to shout to others, but those people were all like mutes and did not respond at all.
Outside the dock.
Dozens of scouts, following the map drawn by Gong Chun, have quietly arrived near Gongjiawu Fort.
The forts near Kyoto did not have moats, but were surrounded by ditches and built with high walls.
The high walls blocked all view and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
On the city wall, one could vaguely see the silhouette of a patrolling figure swaying.
It was only early spring, and the plants had not yet fully grown. There was no shelter nearby, and the scouts hid in the distance and could not get close for a while.
The girl had instructed that there was no need to risk entering Gongjiawu Fort.
Just need to confirm whether there is anyone in Gong's Fort.
But to be cautious, the scouts decided to observe for a while longer.
They were afraid that the figure they saw might be a member of the Gong family who stayed behind in the fort. When the people from Hongnong County arrived, they would have made a wasted trip because of their wrong information and would definitely blame the girl.
The scouts lay on the ground, pressed against the tree trunks, not moving at all.
The Gong family’s city wall is very high, with towers built on top. Any slight movement would easily be discovered by the people above.
It has now been confirmed that there are indeed people in the dock.
At first glance, the figure sticking out from above the city wall looked very familiar.
The scouts observed silently for a long time.
The two scouts who were close to each other looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Wearing a black scarf on the head, isn’t that the attire of the Shifang Sect?
Isn't the Shifang Sect in Yizhou? Why did it appear in Sizhou?
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the scouts gestured to retreat and quickly returned to report.
"What?! Is it the Ten Directions Sect?"
Wei Xiyin and Gong Chun's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"What is the Ten Directions Religion?" Yuan Jin was puzzled as to why they reacted this way.
Dong Zhiyao didn't know either, but he kept his composure.
Wei Xiyin was still digesting the information and did not respond.
She tapped her fingers subconsciously, her mind racing, wondering if she had missed some important information.
The appearance of the Ten Directions Teaching here explains the problem.
The believers not only spread throughout Yizhou, but also established a huge force near Kyoto.
Wei Xiyin lowered her eyes, thinking of the confession of the Taoist priest Liufang who was captured by her third uncle.
Several key words popped up in her mind and were spinning in circles.
It was like rows of barrages passing by before my eyes.
The Guangping Gu clan... the Yizhou army... the former subordinates of the Prince of Qi... the meteorite...
It seems like something is missing to connect this information together.
The people around her saw her eyes lowered in thought and did not dare to disturb her.
Gong Chun also said nothing, standing with his back to the people, and seemed to be thinking.
Wei Xiyin suddenly thought of what Chu Yu had said to her at that time.
