Wang Tie broke free from his restraints and grabbed the weapons with both hands. He was surrounded by well-trained soldiers. His men and the group of yamen soldiers were captured and their weapons were taken away.
The head of the yamen soldiers was quickly surrounded and captured by Chang Ying and the guards.
This group of masked bandits caught them off guard, so much so that many people didn't react at first.
Wang Tie was isolated and helpless, and angrily said, "Young lady, you have no moral principles!"
Wei Xiyin tapped her fingers lightly. She was not a real bandit, so what morality did she need to talk about?
If soft tactics don’t work, then we have to resort to hard tactics.
The granary in Yizhou has attracted the covetousness of various groups. With the arrival of spring, some smart people have realized that instead of rescue coming in several months, the monsters have become stronger and stronger, and the situation has further deteriorated.
The imperial court can no longer be relied upon. At this time, anyone who has a little bit of military power to kill zombies will think of storing food.
As long as there is food, the lucky survivors can continue to live.
Therefore, Gong Liulang and his men knew that they could not defend this place without reinforcements, so they asked for help from the Qinghe Wei family.
Here comes the problem.
How did he know there were no reinforcements?
Wei Xiyin's thoughts drifted away, and her first reaction was... I'm afraid the court has collapsed, and something must have happened in Kyoto.
She was panic-stricken for a moment. Although she had a premonition before, she had always been optimistic and deceived herself into thinking that as long as she didn't receive any news, it would be good news.
Wei Xiyin kept comforting herself in her heart that her father and the others would be fine. She had only taken a hundred soldiers with her when she left Beijing, and there were still more than nine hundred people. With nine hundred guards, it should not be difficult for her family to escape from Kyoto.
Not far away.
Wang Tie swung his spear without hesitation and no one could get close to him for a while. He caught a glimpse of the young lady, who not only ignored him but was also distracted!
My heart suddenly burned with anger.
Zombie blood is highly contagious, so the guards did not launch a forceful attack. Chang Ying saw that he could not capture the zombies, so he immediately rushed to support them.
The guards used round shields for defense and gradually narrowed the encirclement. The steel spear heads collided with the shields, making a "clang" sound. As the forces collided, the guards holding the shields were shocked and took two steps back.
This Wang Tie is really strong.
Wei Lang pouted and looked aggrieved. He wondered why his sister didn't let him go and he also wanted to fight.
Chang Ying couldn't get close to him, and the guards couldn't defeat him after a long time. He glanced at the girl who was in a daze, and came to Erlangjun with a round shield.
Chang Ying handed the shield to Wei Lang, "Erlang Jun, would you like to try it?"
Wei Lang's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay."
He wants to fight too!
Wei Lang reached out to take the round shield, feeling it somewhat new, and rubbed his hands around it.
"Erlang Jun, throw this thing at him. Just hit him."
As he said this, he glanced at the girl guiltily. He just asked Erlangjun to throw a shield, and the girl shouldn't blame him.
"Remember to hit him on the back, don't hit his head." Chang Ying added silently.
Wei Lang responded cheerfully: "I know."
The round shield was very heavy, but Wei Lang lifted it above his head easily. He threw the round shield out without looking or aiming.
Wang Tie had just forced back the guards behind him and was about to turn around to grab the shield for defense when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He quickly turned around and saw a heavy shield flying towards him. Wang Tie's face changed slightly and he stretched out his long tasseled spear to block it.
The huge force hit the weapon, and the long tasseled spear was broken into two pieces. The round shield, which had been used as a buffer, hit his shoulder again, knocking him to the ground.
The guards took this opportunity to step forward and capture the man.
With the previous lesson in mind, no one dared to be careless again. They directly stripped Wang Tie of his weapons and tied him up.
Wei Lang cheered, "Look, sister, I hit it!"
Chang Ying praised, "Erlang Jun is awesome."
Her brother's shouting brought Wei Xiyin back to her senses. When she came to her senses, she saw that all the yamen soldiers and bandits had been captured.
The refugees from Gaoyi squatting in the corner were trembling.
"Notify Lord Zhang and the others to come over." Wei Xiyin suppressed her emotions and instructed the guards beside her.
She raised her head and stared sharply at the attendants on the city wall, "Tell Princess Zhongshan that the Yizhou army has returned to the camp and open the gate immediately!"
Zhang Yuanyan and others soon appeared in the sight of their entourage. There were more than 60 people in the group, wearing the uniforms of the Yizhou Army.
This cannot be faked.
The attendant was so shocked that he dared not respond and ran down the city wall to report to the princess.
However, he was filled with doubts in his heart. How could the Yizhou Army be involved with a group of bandits?
Princess Zhongshan inside was very calm upon hearing the news. She thought for a moment and said softly, "Since it's the Yizhou Army, then open the door."
Five followers escorted the people to the door, ready to protect the princess and fight their way out if the bandits dared to attack.
Cui Er Niang followed closely behind, looking terrified. They had a grudge with the people outside, and if they met again, what if the other party refused to let them go?
And looking at the attitude of these followers, they probably won't be able to take care of her at all.
For the first time, Cui Erniang felt the injustice of the world.
The granary door slowly opened.
Everyone in front of the door was very surprised. They didn't expect that there were only five followers and two girls in the granary.
The princess looked at the masked girl with a complicated look. She calmed herself down a little and said, "I hope you are well, young lady."
"You're welcome, my lady." Wei Xiyin returned the greeting and said calmly, "We will take full control of the granary from now on. I hope my lady will be aware of this."
Princess Zhongshan couldn't help but gasp, "But this is the imperial granary. Aren't you afraid of the imperial court's blame?" How dare she?
Wei Xiyin didn't answer. Too many people had said this and it had lost its meaning.
The princess came back to her senses and realized that this was not the time to dwell on this. Since they had already arrived, they must have made some considerations.
"I have something I want to discuss with you, young lady. I hope you can help me solve my doubts after reading this."
When Zhang Yuanyan and his men came over, there were many people lying on the ground in front of the granary, all tied up. They looked ashen and had no desire to live.
Among those tied up, there were actually government officials.
Zhang Yuanyan was speechless. The girl was really simple and rough in her actions.
Seeing that the Yizhou army was colluding with the bandits, the head of the yamen soldiers turned pale. "The Yizhou army is colluding with the bandits. The Yizhou granary is the national grain reserve. Your Excellency, do you know what this means?"
It means that the country is about to collapse and the world is about to fall.
But what’s the difference from now?
Zhang Yuanyan was too lazy to explain. He walked into the gate and saw the girl inside talking to another woman. Although the woman was dressed simply, the golden cloud pattern on her skirt was faintly visible.
Golden cloud pattern, a person of the royal family.
Before he could say anything, Wei Xiyin waved at him and said, "Master Zhang, you've arrived just in time. The princess said she intercepted a letter from Governor Gong, a handwritten letter. Come and take a look."
Is there any news about the governor?
Zhang Yuanyan immediately came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Where is the letter?" He even forgot to greet the princess.
Fortunately, Princess Zhongshan didn't care. "The letter is with me. I have some doubts and I want the girl to help me take a look."
