Cheng Qing was confused.
His identity has already been suspected by the Yizhou Army, so why did the girl's reaction completely different from what he expected?
According to Cheng Qing, they might as well go all out and kill them directly. With only about sixty Yizhou soldiers left, and they were on their territory, there were opportunities everywhere to kill them.
Wei Xiyin did not explain, but ordered: "Go and call Chang Ying."
Although Yizhou has few soldiers, they are an orthodox army. Killing them to silence them is only a last resort. If you want to expand the fortress, it would be best to recruit them.
She tapped her fingers, thinking about what Cheng Qing had just repeated.
Gong Liulang is a truly impressive person. He can say "What does it matter whether it is true or not?" He must know in his heart that he cannot touch the Qinghe Wei family at this moment.
Because the Wei family's roots are still there.
When dealing with smart people, there's no need to worry too much. What she needs to do now is to let Gong Liulang know that the Qinghe Wei family already knows what they are thinking and is fearless!
Chang Ying was in the camp and came over quickly after receiving the news.
Wei Xiyin immediately explained the whole story and gave instructions in a low voice.
Hearing what she said, Chang Ying couldn't help but gasp.
He really couldn't understand why the girl insisted on letting them pursue the matter and even handed the evidence to them since Gong Liulang had already advised Zhang Yuanyan not to pursue the matter.
"Gong Liulang is a smart man, and smart people often think more than ordinary people." Wei Xiyin said.
Now that zombies are rampant outside and natural disasters are sweeping the country, why are they willing to abandon their granaries and sacrifice their lives to come to the fort?
What exactly is their purpose?
But no matter what their purpose is, she is determined to get the 200,000 shi of grain.
Chang Ying didn't know what she meant, so he could only follow the girl's instructions.
…
It gets dark earlier and earlier in winter. After dinner, all the soldiers who went out to check for hidden dangers returned to the underground palace, and another wave of soldiers went out to change shifts.
The eighth district was bustling with people and suddenly became very noisy.
Seeing this, Gong Liulang stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Yuanyan, and was about to go back to sleep. But when he thought of the pig smell in the passage, he frowned slightly, it was really unbearable.
He thought about either making it clear directly with the young men of the Wei family, or asking Mingjingtang to find him a new place to live.
He was lost in thought, and just as he turned the corner, he bumped into a guard running towards him.
Gong Liulang's body swayed and he lost his balance. Fortunately, the person opposite him reacted in time and pulled him up. He suddenly felt as if the person was holding something hard in his hand, which hurt his skin.
After he stood firm, Cheng Qing quickly clasped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, I wasn't paying attention to the road."
Gong Liulang stood up straight, lowered his head to tidy up his clothes, and waved his hand, "It's okay, be more careful next time..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw the guard holding a mask. The mask was different from the previous ones, with only the eyes exposed.
Cheng Qing seemed not to notice his abnormality and said thankfully, "I'm glad you don't blame me."
As he spoke, he shouted towards the other end of the passage, "Cao Awang! Have you seen my brother? The girl wants to see him!"
The guard named Cao Awang came out from the other end of the passage and looked at the man who had just returned from outside, holding a long tasseled spear in his hand.
"No, maybe he went to the armory to get some armor. He said some of the armor pieces were slightly deformed, so he needs to send them to the blacksmith shop for Mr. Ting to have a look."
Gong Liulang: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. These people were acting in front of him. Did they really think he was a fool?
Girl?
Who was the girl they were talking about? The young lady from the Wei family?
Gong Liulang's face remained expressionless, but his eyes were gazing at the group of guards with an obscure look.
The two continued to sing in unison, and the guard in front of him even deliberately handed the mask to him so that he could take a closer look.
Gong Liulang withdrew his gaze indifferently, asked nothing, and left without looking back.
Zhang Yuanyan came out of the earthen house when he heard the noise. When he saw the mask and long tasseled spear in the guard's hand, his expression became very interesting.
In the past, when Wei's soldiers returned, they would unload their equipment at the entrance to the underground palace and never bring weapons into the palace. But tonight, for some reason, the soldiers who returned came in with weapons in hand, and in their hands, they also held that very familiar mask.
Armor, mask, long tasseled spear—all seemed to match. It seemed even Liu Langjun could miscalculate.
Zhang Yuanyan's face turned red instantly. This group of people seemed to be afraid that they didn't know. They were so confident. What on earth did they want to do?
Zhang Yuanyan covered his chest with his hands. His enemies were right in front of him, but he had no way to deal with them. He was afraid that he would be angry to death by the scene in front of him, so he hurried out of the passage and chased Gong Liulang who had just walked a short distance.
When they reached an empty passage, Zhang Yuanyan caught up with Gong Liulang.
He endured it again and again, but he could no longer bear it and said angrily: "The Qinghe Wei family is so bold!" Not only did they hijack the imperial granary, they also dared to show off in front of him.
That’s right, Zhang Yuanyan interpreted their fearless behavior as showing off.
Gong Liulang sighed, "The Wei family must have known about it. We suspect they were the ones who broke into the warehouse and stole the grain." The underground palace was densely populated, and it seemed that their conversation was overheard by someone.
"Even if they knew, they shouldn't humiliate us like this! Now that the enemy outnumbers us, they must have known that we wouldn't dare to do anything." Zhang Yuanyan was so angry that his face turned red.
"This isn't a humiliation." Gong Liulang's eyes were subtle, and he immediately revealed the reason for their actions. "It's a test."
Hijacking a granary is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family. Since the Wei family already knew that their identities as "bandits" had been exposed, there was no way they would let them go.
