Soon the next morning, when Song Sanniang went to see Cheng Wuan again, he had woken up and looked much better. He even had the strength to drink porridge from a bowl.

Seeing that he had already drunk the medicine, Song Sanniang thought of the half cup of medicine that was still in her space.

His father first drank a large bowl of Chinese medicine and then a bowl of porridge. His stomach was probably rumbling and could not take in any more food.

So he didn't do anything extra and just sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Dad, your illness came on so violently and without any signs. I was so worried. Fortunately, you seem to be much better today. Otherwise..."

Chen Wuan, whose usually stern face rarely showed a smile, looked at Song Sanniang with kindness and a little guilt.

"I'm sorry to have worried about you, son. Don't worry, your father is in good health. He will definitely live to see Xiaoyuan and Xiaoxu get married and have children."

When Song Sanniang heard this, she also smiled knowingly.

"Yes, Dad and Mom will definitely live a long life."

The two chatted about some trivial things, and then Cheng Wuan asked seriously about the various things that had happened in the army in the past two days.

Song Sanniang answered them one by one, starting with how to deal with the defeated soldiers of the Ulan tribe who had escaped.

Considering that one should not pursue a desperate enemy, Song Sanniang did not send anyone to hunt down the remaining Ulan soldiers.

Anyway, the biggest one, Utulu, has been dealt with, and the rest are just small soldiers, insignificant.

Next came the work of repairing the city walls, cleaning the battlefield, removing the enemy's bodies, and collecting and providing pensions to the soldiers who died in the battle of Tongguan.

Cheng Wuan listened to Song Sanniang's report and nodded with satisfaction from time to time.

When he fell, what he was most worried about was that the army was leaderless, and that Yuchuan, at such a young age, was unable to control the group of old soldiers under his command.

But the situation he expected did not happen. On the contrary, she did very well.

At the end of her words, Song Sanniang paused. Seeing that Cheng Wuan still looked sick, she hesitated for a moment and still said nothing.

Cheng Wuan was about to ask something, but someone outside suddenly came to ask Song Sanniang something and called her away, so he had to give up.

In the evening, Song Sanniang found an opportunity to feed the remaining hot water to her father.

When he asked Song Sanniang if she had added anything to the water, Song Sanniang nodded casually and gave a brief explanation.

"Yes, I made some tranquilizer in it for you. You had trouble sleeping at night, so drinking it will help you rest better."

After listening to Song Sanniang's words, Cheng Wuan nodded.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, or if the tranquilizer prepared by my caring little cotton-padded jacket really worked.

That night he did not dream of the two children who died tragically. From the day he caught Qin Zao and learned the truth until now, he finally slept well and did not dream until dawn.

When he woke up, the strong sunlight outside shone through the tent, illuminating the entire room.

Wen Qing, who heard the noise, came in immediately from outside. Seeing that Cheng Wuan had woken up and was in good spirits, he also became happy.

"General, you're awake."

Seeing that Cheng Wuan's mouth was dry, he quickly poured him a glass of water.

After Cheng Wuan finished drinking the water, he felt his mouth come alive again. He put the teacup aside and looked at Wen Qing.

"What time is it?"

"General, it's already three quarters past noon."

Cheng Wuan was startled and subconsciously looked outside the tent.

He didn't expect that he had slept for so long.

"What is your master doing now?"

"she……"

On the other side, Song Sanniang led a group of people, and in addition, the people who were arranged by Xie Jinze to transport grain followed behind, and rushed towards Nanyang Pass.

Although she knew in her heart that given the greedy nature of the commander guarding Nanyang Pass, he would definitely not easily return the confiscated grain to them unless there was a greater benefit.

Song Sanniang's purpose of going to Nanyang Pass this time was not for that batch of grain, but for other plans.

She always has to hit a wall and experience something bad first, and then she can go back and "accuse" and incite the soldiers.

Because Nanyang Pass and Tong Pass were not far apart, Song Sanniang brought her men to the gate of Nanyang Pass in the afternoon.

This place is different from the gate of Tongguan which is closed to the outside world all year round, because there are small villages outside the city where the people of Mingqi Dynasty live scattered around.

They would bring some things they grew at home to Nanyang City to sell, and then buy what they needed.

So when they arrived, the gate of Nanyang Pass was open and people were coming in and out from time to time.

The guards at the city gate saw such a large group of people from a distance, but because the people on the city wall had no warning, they knew they were not enemies, so they were not too nervous.

When Song Sanniang and the others got closer, she knew they were from Tongguan as soon as she saw the armor they were wearing.

Song Sanniang and her men stopped at the city gate.

One of the guards at the door came out and bowed to Song Sanniang.

"I wonder what brings this general to Nanyang Pass?"

Song Sanniang looked at the team leader who was respectfully standing below and raised her eyebrows.

I thought that the people under Peng Tao had the same personality as him, but I didn't expect that there were some people with clear minds among them.

"I have something important to discuss with your General Peng."

The man bowed his head and saluted again, "Please wait a moment, General. I will report immediately."

Song Sanniang responded, and the group found a shady place to rest while waiting for news.

She didn't have to wait too long. Soon the man came out of the city gate, looked around, and found the place where Song Sanniang and the others were resting.

He trotted over to them.

"General Cheng, please come in, and the rest of you, please follow me."

Song Sanniang followed the people in front of her into Nanyang Pass.

After meeting Peng Tao, the commander of Nanyang Pass, and exchanging pleasantries, Song Sanniang asked directly.

"General Peng, we came to you to discuss something."

Peng Tao let go of the two beauties on his left and right, leaned forward and looked at Song Sanniang with some confusion.

"Oh, I wonder if there's anything I can help you with, nephew Cheng. Just ask, and I'll definitely help you if I can."

"With Uncle Peng's words, I have the nerve to ask, didn't you withhold a batch of grain not long ago?"

"To be honest, we don't have much food left in the city. I and a few veterans pooled our money and went to Jiangnan to find a grain merchant with whom I had a good relationship to buy this."

"It just so happened that the barbarians attacked at this time, and I really couldn't spare any manpower from the border, so I asked some ordinary people to deliver the food. I didn't expect that Uncle Peng's men would seize it. Now that I have free time, I came to you. I wonder if you could be kind enough to return the food."
