Since they couldn't get in, they naturally went back home and left the mess to the King of Hedong and the three major families.
Yuan Jing was helpless.
This time, Hedong State obtained the most small black balls and food. Since he had promised to give them out personally, he would naturally not go back on his word.
The scout came out an hour later, followed by a group of zombies.
The army is responsible for stepping forward to resolve the problem.
The scout reported: "My lady, your highnesses, as expected, there are very few zombies in the streets near the city gate."
If you go deeper, you won't be able to find out.
As the capital of a country, Kyoto is very large. If scouts really want to explore a distant area, it will probably take at least a day and a night.
"That's enough." Wei Xiyin turned to look at the two princes, "I'm planning to go in and take a look. Would you like to come in with me?"
Upon hearing this, King Cheng'an immediately waved his hand and said, "I will not go. I will send 3,000 soldiers to protect the girl's safety."
Yuan Jing said, "Well, we need to understand the situation in the city so that we can clean it up later."
Guo Xiu stayed in Qichuan County and did not come with them. He selected two thousand personal guards to accompany him.
Wei Xiyin unceremoniously accepted 3,000 soldiers from the Cheng'an Army, and together with the Wei family's troops, a total of 6,000 people entered the gate of Kyoto.
After a year and a half, she finally returned to this familiar city.
The city and outside the city are almost two different worlds.
The outskirts of the city are covered with green plants, the zombies along the way have been cleared out, and there is vitality everywhere.
Inside the city, there was a dead silence.
All the zombies at the city gate had just been lured away by the scouts. Occasionally, the roars of zombies could be heard coming from farther away, adding a bit of desolation.
The moment you step into the city gate.
The dried blood on the bluestone road was stepped on, and the remaining bloody footprints were particularly glaring. White bones lay scattered on the street, and the spreading weeds and dilapidated buildings echoed each other, filled with death and silence.
The soldiers and guards protected the two masters in the middle.
The soldiers leading the way in front were alert to the surrounding alleys to prevent zombie attacks.
The shops on both sides of the street were in ruins.
Yuan Jing stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene, and asked in a low voice with a complicated look: "Miss, do you want to visit the Wei Mansion?"
Wei Xiyin shook her head. "Changle Street is right next to the Imperial Palace. We don't know what's going on inside the palace, so we can't risk going there."
When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look up and glanced at her.
"I thought the girl wanted to come to Kyoto and visit home." Yuan Jing said.
Since they have already agreed to clean up Kyoto, there is really no need to take the risk to come here.
Wei Xiyin said, "I have to come here once to feel at ease."
Guarding the edge of Kyoto, but no one came to investigate.
Wei Xiyin was afraid that Cao Mo and the remnants of the Ten Directions Sect might be hiding in the capital.
After all, hundreds of thousands of zombies were led away to Sizhou, and together with those that poured out as people fled the city in the previous year, the number of zombies wandering around the entire Kyoto city was limited.
But after coming over and seeing the appearance of the city gate and the zombies that appeared from time to time in front of the city, she immediately denied it.
The presence of scattered monsters at the city gate means that there is no one in the city.
Those zombies that move with the breath of living people don’t care who you are. As long as you are a human, they will pounce on you.
In fact, when Wei Xiyin learned that the person could not be here, she wanted to go back home, but since she was already here, she couldn't let the two princes accompany her on a wasted trip.
Finding out the situation inside would be helpful for future cleaning, so she thought about it and decided to go into the city to find out.
The group walked cautiously for a while and went deeper into the city.
Zombies began to appear along the way, and some were even crushed by collapsed buildings, lying on the ground and roaring at them.
These monsters couldn't even get close to them and were quickly dealt with by the soldiers.
Wei Xiyin ordered the 3,000 Cheng'an troops to disperse and investigate the situation in the surrounding streets.
As she passed by a dim sum shop that she used to frequent, she paused for a moment.
The sign of the pastry shop fell to the ground, covered with dust. The attic on the roof collapsed, crushing the shop on the first floor. The business flag weathered into rags, covered under the dust, with only a corner exposed.
Wei Lang loves the pastries from this shop the most. In the past, every time Wei Xiyin passed by, she would buy a box of their Yu Shuang square cakes and He Yi cakes.
When she didn't go out, her father would occasionally make a special detour to come home from work and bring two boxes for her and her brother.
The dim sum shop that was bustling with customers in my memory seems to be just yesterday, but it is gradually overlapping with the desolate and dead scene before my eyes.
I suddenly felt extremely sad.
Chu Yu had been standing beside her. Seeing that the girl's gaze lingered on the dilapidated ruins for a long time, he followed her gaze and vaguely saw a plaque covered by dust on the ground with the words - Wufangzhai.
Chu Yu asked, "Miss, would you like some cakes?"
Wei Xiyin came back to her senses and told him, "This is the most famous pastry shop in Kyoto. My family used to love eating there."
She paused and said, "It's true that I haven't eaten pastries in a long time. I can try making some when I get back."
Maybe I could make some cookies and give Mr. Qu a taste as a reward.
Chu Yu nodded and thought that it was better to just listen to what the girl said. Maybe when she got back she would be busy and forget everything.
Without staying there for too long, the group continued to move forward along the route cleared by the soldiers.
The further they went in, the more zombies there were, and the fierce fighting between the soldiers attracted more and more monsters.
There was a noise approaching from the next street.
"These zombies are so stupid! The city gates are open, and they're still inside the city after more than a year." Wei Xiyin sighed, "It seems our prediction was wrong. There are still many monsters in Kyoto City."
Seeing that they could not move forward, Wei Xiyin and Yuan Jing indeed ordered a retreat.
Did you gain anything from this trip?
I guess so.
At least I know the road to the palace is still blocked. The only regret is that I can’t go home to visit.
Wei Xiyin thought: The next time I come here, it will be after Kyoto is recovered, and then I will go back.
Maybe it won't be long.
Outside the city.
King Cheng'an had already ordered the preparation of setting up camp, but the people quickly withdrew.
He understood and said, "It is because I had foresight that I did not follow you on this journey in vain."
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Huang is right, but it wasn't a wasted trip. At least I got to know some of the situation in Kyoto."
He had some idea of how to clean up, and just had to wait for the monsters to weaken in the summer so that he could retake the entire Kyoto.
Yuan Jing is the same as King Cheng'an.
I don't have any ideas about this world.
This is not a simple disaster year, nor is it a simple plague. The forces in various places are in disarray. It is conceivable how much effort it takes to govern a world that is riddled with problems.
They led the army back to Qichuan.
The journey back and forth took more than ten days. When we returned, the construction of Gongjiawu Fort was almost completed, with only a little bit of work left to do.
But Gong Chun no longer wanted them to interfere.
The matter of integrating the secret passage afterwards is something that only our clan members can know about. Only our family members can do it ourselves and cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
Now that everything I promised was done, it was finally time for the most exciting moment.
Share the food!
