Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

Half an hour later, Wen Shu looked at the group behind Xuan Yi at the village entrance, whipped her horse whip and shouted, "Let's go!"

More than a dozen people followed Wen Shu in a mighty procession towards the village. The team included not only Xuanyi's men, but also several young people from the village who were temporarily called by the second elder, as well as several followers loyal to the Du family.

Of course, now it is also equivalent to being loyal to Wenshu.

The group rode their horses at a rapid speed and arrived at the village in more than an hour without stopping.

This time, I noticed something different before I even entered the village. I saw someone lurking in the dark a few kilometers away from the village.

Among their group, the person at the front and the person at the back had a special knot tied on their right arm.

The people lurking on the roadside saw the special seal that they had seen when entering the village. This time they lay still and continued to lurk without making any reaction.

Wen Shu and her group, especially Xuan Yi, were not noticed by others because of his profound kung fu skills, and they discovered it early.

"Master," he wanted to remind.

Just as he opened his mouth, Wen Shuju made a gesture to stop him, "I understand, keep going."

As a bodyguard, it is understandable that Xuanyi protects her safety, but this matter cannot be made public.

There is nothing else to do.

Entering the village, there were people coming and going at the gate. There were piles of magnolias on both sides. The tops of the magnolias were sharpened and the wood was quite old.

It seems that after the previous incident, my second uncle made proper arrangements for the village, so that if the village was attacked by someone by accident, we could respond in time.

He dismounted swiftly and smoothly, then with a flick of his right hand, he flung the tightly grasped reins precisely toward the person who was trotting toward him.

After stabilizing herself, she raised her head slightly, looked at the newcomer, and instructed, "Be sure to take good care of this horse. Don't let it starve, but don't overfeed it either. You have to know when to stop."

The person who came to meet him bowed quickly and replied, "Yes, Patriarch!" This person was Da Jin.

He turned and shouted to the grooms who had just arrived to tend the horses, "This matter is of vital importance. You must personally oversee it and not take it lightly!"

Wen Shu turned around, her eyes fixed on Da Jin, and asked, "How many good horses are left in the village now?"

Da Jin quickly replied, "Reporting to the clan leader, there are still more than forty adult horses in the village, but the rest..."

Before he could finish his words, Wen Shu interrupted him, saying, "That's enough! No need to say anything more. Go and get a horse for each of us present. Make sure they're well-fed and well-cared for, so they're always ready to serve me."

"Yes, patriarch!" In the past, for such an order from the second elder, Dajin would definitely need to obtain the approval of higher-level figures before executing it.

But the situation is different now. Just yesterday morning, Kang Wu from the village was hung up at the entrance of the village for public display.

There was no trace of blood on Kang Wu's body, and it was obvious that he had already died.

It happened right before their eyes, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, making Dajin no longer dare to have any other thoughts.

He shrank back a little and looked at Xuanyi behind Wenshu.

Xuan Yi seemed to sense something and turned around to meet Da Jin...

Daikin: "..."

He immediately withdrew his gaze, turned around and greeted the people around him, and completed the task assigned by the patriarch.

The commotion here did not escape Wen Shu's notice. She just took a look and walked towards the room prepared for her without saying anything.

In the main room, Wen Shu sat in the main seat, followed by Xuan Yi, Du Chaoyi and others.

Wen Shu saw Xuan Yi and asked, "Has Kang Wu's matter been settled?"

"Master, all of Kang Wu's followers have been completely eliminated." Xuan Yi stood below and listened to Wen Shu's words, and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Hearing this, Wen Shu nodded and asked, "Have you found any other clues?"

Other clues, of course, include whether there is anyone outside who can contact Kang Wu, how long Kang Wu has been harboring rebellious thoughts, and whether he is colluding with those people.

Xuan Yi was not good at these things, not to mention that the incident happened suddenly, so they captured and killed the man with thundering means, and in order to deter other people with ulterior motives in the village, they hung a warning directly at the entrance of the village.

If there really are other accomplices, they must now be extremely cautious and hide their tails between their legs.

"Well, there's no rush. If they really haven't cleaned it up, it's fine if they give up. But if they don't give up and have other ideas, don't blame me for not giving them a chance."

"It's my fault that I didn't do my job well. Please punish me, master." Xuan Yi knew that he had not eliminated all the hidden dangers and had not done his job cleanly, and he felt guilty.

"Alright, no one can be supernatural, and besides, this is not your fault. This is the best possible outcome. The most important thing now is what comes next."

"Okay, get up!"

"Yes, master." Xuan Yi stepped back and stood back to his original position.

Wen Shu turned her head to look at Du Qinniang, who was standing in the front row with a whip on her waist.

She said "Seventh Aunt"

"Chief, Du Qinniang is willing to be at your disposal." Du Qinniang was immediately alert when her name was called, and she turned around and stepped out of the line.

Wen Shu was not polite. Time was pressing, and the sooner they left, the better. She did not beat around the bush. "Seventh Aunt, when you set out, Second Uncle had already explained something to you."

"Yes, Chief, rest assured. I, Du Qinniang, will do my utmost to assist you. If you have any instructions, please don't hesitate to speak up, especially because I am your elder.

In matters of great importance within the clan, the clan leader is the most important, regardless of the elders."

Wenshu nodded secretly in her heart. She was worried that her seventh aunt had a rebellious temper. It seemed that her second uncle must have put a lot of thought into it.

However, with her by her side, things would be much easier in the clan. Wen Shu took out the clan seal with only the word "Du" on it and said to Du Qiniang:

"Seventh Aunt, this is a heavy item, I'll give it to you first."

When Du Qinniang saw what Wen Shu took out of her hand, she felt uneasy.

This girl seemed to be doing something big, but she was not able to speak out. She knew the current situation of what had happened in the past two days. If there was no big move, she was afraid that their Du family would be destroyed someday, and they would still be happily sleeping with their quilts covered.

He died without knowing why.

"I, Du Qinniang, will obey any order given by the clan leader even if it means death." Du Qinniang stepped forward and took half of the clan seal from Wen Shu, holding it carefully in her hand.

"Seventh Aunt, you know that Wen Shu has just returned to her native village and is not familiar with many things, nor does she know much about the affairs of this village.

I heard from my second uncle that because my seventh aunt likes martial arts, she has been working hard in this village since she was a child. What happened to Kangwu just now.

There is a traitor in the village, and no one is more suitable to manage the affairs of the village than you."

Wen Shu said solemnly.

When Du Qinniang heard that she was in charge of village affairs, she was confused. She was good at fighting and doing physical work, but it was really difficult for her to use her brain and spend time and energy to manage such a large group of people.

What's more, she still thought that Wen Shu gave her the clan seal to prepare her to kill everyone.

If it is true, this kind of confidence may really make her feel embarrassed.
