"General Cheng, I don't know what kind of stimulation the other party received. From last night to now, they have almost never stopped attacking us."
The young general responsible for leading the troops to stay behind was exhausted, but he managed to cheer up and report the battle situation to Shengze.
"What are the casualties?" Shengze took the map of Jiji Mountain and asked calmly.
The young general frowned and said: "Although our army managed to defend this place, the losses were very serious. More than half of the 5,000 men on guard were lost. If you had arrived a quarter of an hour later, we would not have been able to defend this place."
In fact, he had just prepared to let people retreat. Now that he was withdrawing, he could still save more than 2,000 people.
Shengze patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Five thousand people could hold back the Jun Clan's 30,000 troops for eight hours. They had indeed tried their best.
It's just that Shengze still doesn't know why the Jun tribe suddenly attacked Jiji Mountain. As far as he knows, although it's already September, the drought outside is still very serious. It's not normal for the Jun tribe to invade at this time.
But now Shengze had no time to guess. After making emergency arrangements, he took the lead and joined the battle.
On the other side, Shen Qingqian had a sleepless night and was frequently distracted while working with Dr. Hu.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about Cheng San?" Dr. Hu spoke straightforwardly and didn't shy away from anything. He asked casually when he saw her like this.
Shen Qingqian quickly shook her head, "No, I'm thinking about business."
Was she acting that obvious?
"Then take a look, am I right to write like this? Can ordinary people understand it?" Doctor Hu didn't pay much attention and handed over the newly written manuscript.
Shen Qingqian calmed down and quickly got into work.
At noon, Mrs. Liang asked someone to bring a message, asking Shen Qingqian to go home for dinner tonight.
Doctor Hu was worried and asked Xiao Sun to send her back.
When they arrived at Huanxi Courtyard, no matter how invited Shen Qingqian was, Xiao Sun insisted on rushing back.
"Mom, I'm back!" Shen Qingqian shouted as soon as she entered the yard.
Ms. Liang had just come out of the kitchen at this moment, holding dishes in her hands. When she saw her, she rarely smiled and just said lightly: "Go wash up and get ready to eat."
Shen Qingqian wondered, Liang's attitude is not right, what's going on?
But Wu and the others also came out to greet her one after another. The whole family sat happily eating in the dining room of the big room, and Shen Qingqian had no time to think too much.
After dinner, Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingxiao went to wash the dishes together. Shen Qingxiao said seemingly casually, "Yesterday, third brother Cheng came to see third aunt. He didn't know what he said. Third aunt seemed to be confused." So happy."
Shen Qingqian paused in his movements, "Did Brother Cheng come to the house yesterday?"
"Well, he came with Brother Chengyun and brought a lot of things." Shen Qingxiao nodded.
She was just curious about what the Cheng family brothers were here for yesterday. They obviously brought something, but after they left, Mrs. Liang didn't say that Cheng San was here to propose marriage. So why were they like that yesterday?
Shen Qingqian felt a little nervous at this moment. Considering what Shengze said to her yesterday and Liang's attitude at this time, her mother wouldn't have called her back to keep her distance from Shengze, right?
When Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingxiao finished cleaning up the kitchen, Mrs. Liang called her in the third bedroom, "Sister Qian, come back. I have something to tell you."
Shen Qingqian took off her apron and went back with a confused expression.
"Mom, you..."
Mother and daughter sat in the living room for a long time, Liang didn't say anything, and Shen Qingqian had to speak first.
In the end, Ms. Liang cut off her words and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood him before. You were the one who didn't want to get engaged."
