Chapter 228 The enemy attacks at night

Cheng Jingyun slept quietly all afternoon, and didn't talk about Song Zhancheng anymore, so that Song Zhancheng's heart, which still had some expectations, gradually cooled down.

But fortunately, when he came back, Jinyun explained the situation, and Song Zhancheng could only reluctantly accept this result, and when Cheng Jingyun woke up again at dinner time, Song Zhancheng came to see her.

"The doctor said that you are recovering well, don't get out of bed these days, don't force yourself."

"I know. Tell me about the situation. ”

Song Zhancheng naturally knew what she was referring to, and after thinking about it, he said: "Our current place is Yunshui Pass, and there are our men and horses on both sides of the pass, which can prevent Hengguo from ambushing us, and now Hengguo is about three hundred miles away from us, so we don't dare to come over." ”

Cheng Jingyun remembered the group of people she met when she followed the Cold Moon Army, frowned, and when Song Zhancheng saw it, he asked her, "What's wrong?" Do you remember something? ”

Cheng Jingyun, who had just woken up, still had a vague memory of herself, and she couldn't tell when something happened, but after lying in bed for a day, she had already sorted it out very clearly.

The group of people who chased and killed the Cold Moon Army were obviously not from Hengguo, otherwise she would not be impressed, but it was absolutely impossible to say that they were from Yiguo, even their clothing and behavior did not look like the characteristics of Yiguo, not to mention that Cheng Jingyun also happened to hear some of them speaking with Hengguo's accent, which can determine the origin of the other party.

It is still possible to say that the other party is a mountain bandit, but soon Cheng Jingyun once again denied this idea. After all, the border between the two countries is a prosperous area for trade, and if there are mountain bandits here, then it is impossible for them not to get the news, and this group of people seems to have appeared suddenly, and they are so familiar with the land here that they can only be said to have been dormant for a long time.

Besides, the other party was still carefully covering his face, and Cheng Jingyun felt even more strange.

Is it because you are afraid that someone will recognize it?

She sorted out her thoughts, told Song Zhancheng everything, omitted the part of the Cold Moon Army, and told her doubts.

Song Zhancheng didn't frown for the time being, but he said: "I will find someone to investigate this matter secretly, they are indeed too strange, besides...... I'm worried that they're showing up at the right time. ”

Cheng Jingyun blinked, "You mean, just at the moment when the two countries are clashing, they appeared, and they will have other purposes." ”

"Yes," Song Zhancheng's eyes were like torches, "If that's the case, then I can't let them go, this matter must be solved, and it can't be delayed." ”

Cheng Jingyun also agreed with his statement, and said with a smile: "It's good if you believe me, if others still think I'm dreaming, in fact, I was quite frightened at first, and I thought I was going to die." ”

At the mention of this word, Song Zhancheng twisted his eyebrows, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Cheng Jingyun didn't realize where she said something wrong, and she was a little dazed when she saw him, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”

"Nope." Song Zhancheng sighed, he was too sensitive and nervous, "Now that the war is over, my idea is not to move forward for the time being, Hengguo is afraid to move forward now, and we don't have to take the initiative to stir up trouble." ”

"But......" Cheng Jingyun subconsciously lowered her voice, "Will the capital stop there?" ”

Song Zhancheng's face was strange when he heard this, he didn't say that he was forced by the court last time he left Cheng Jingyun regardless of leading troops to encircle and suppress him, and he didn't tell Cheng Jingyun about it because he didn't want her to think about it.

"I shouldn't give up, it's just that I'm a little out of reach, I still need to be careful now, there are a lot of eyeliner here, I've already sent someone to protect you, it's imperative that you recover as soon as possible, so I can fight side by side with you."

Cheng Jingyun nodded naturally, "I will." ”

The two didn't know how long they had been talking this time, and how many words they had spoken, and the invisible tacit understanding had been formed, just waiting for someone to find out.

The sky gradually darkened, during which Jinyun came in and lit a lamp, Song Zhancheng realized that he was almost ugly, so he said: "You rest first, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, you can rest early."

After another admonition, Song Zhancheng came out of it, and Foshan stood at the door and said with a smile: "Master, what did you talk about with Miss Cheng?" Talked for so long! ”

Song Zhancheng couldn't hide the lightness in his eyes, and only glanced at him, "Talkative." ”

Foshan obviously felt that Song Zhancheng was in a very good mood, and he had the courage to joke a few words, Song Zhancheng naturally didn't blame him, who told him to be in a good mood today.

After waiting for Song Zhancheng to sleep, Foshan came out, inspected again, and went to rest after confirming that there was no problem.

That night, when the fire burned, everyone was caught off guard.

The granary where the grain was stored was seriously on fire, and the soldiers hurriedly called Song Zhancheng up from the camp tent, even Cheng Jingyun was a little uneasy when she heard the voice.

"What's going on out there?"

Jin Yun, who was also woken up, didn't dare to leave according to Song Zhancheng's instructions, but shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know, let's wait for the prince to come back." ”

"It's fine." Cheng Jingyun didn't let go of her heart, although she knew that this was the depths of the camp, ordinary people didn't dare to come in easily, and there were special people from Song Zhancheng around to protect her, she couldn't lose any hair, but she wasn't worried about herself.

Song Zhancheng hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, stared at the smoking granary with a frown, and ordered to put out the fire, and when the fire was extinguished, he said again: "Count the grain." ”

After counting them, sure enough, the food they brought with them was almost a quarter less.

A quarter is not a small number, so it can be seen that there are many people in this night attack, otherwise it would be impossible to steal so much grain in a short period of time.

Before Song Zhancheng could figure out who had the courage to carry out a sneak attack in front of an army of 10,000 people, Foshan hurriedly ran over, saying that he had found the traces left by the people who attacked at night.

"Master, do you want to chase it?"

Song Zhancheng gritted his teeth and said, "Chase, you personally chase after me with a cavalry, and you will definitely catch people back for me!" ”

"Yes!"

Foshan turned around and ran away, and after a while, he heard someone shouting at the manger: "It's not good, the horse has been poisoned!" ”

After Song Zhancheng rushed over, he found that more than a dozen horses had died, all of them foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground. The military doctor examined the surviving horses one by one, and found that there were not many poisoned horses, and it should be that the other party did not have time.

But even so, it can be regarded as a heavy loss.

Song Zhancheng guessed that the other party was prepared, and estimated that even if Foshan chased after him, he would not be able to catch up.

After almost dawn, Foshan rushed back with cavalry, and everyone returned empty-handed, proving that Song Zhancheng was not wrong.

"Master, Foshan is incompetent, we chased halfway, and the traces disappeared."

Song Zhancheng rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I guessed, this happened suddenly, I still have to think about it." ”

Foshan said: "Do you still need to think about this, master?" It must be the people of Hengguo who were defeated last time and took the opportunity to bring people over to sneak attack, it must be them! ”

"Did you see anyone?"

"Huh?"

"Did you see the attackers?"

"No......"

"You can make a conclusion if you don't see it, am I handing it over to you?"
