Yun Rongyi: "That's right! If it weren't for Cousin Yongwang telling us this, would you still be hiding it from us?"
Yun Cong'an touched his nose and said, "Isn't it too late to say this?"
The two brothers of the Yun family were confined in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but Yan Cheng was free and he was going to continue to Xiangcheng.
Because of the instructions of Zhenbei Hou.
The Marquis of Zhenbei said that day, "Your Highness, if anything happens to Rongxi and Rongji, I'll have to trouble you in Xiangcheng."
"The Northwest Army only trusts the Yun family. You have Yun family blood in your veins. If Rong Xi and the other two get into trouble, the Northwest Army will regard you as its new backbone."
Whether considering the path his brother has taken, the Yun family's kindness towards him, or the people of Da Xia.
Yan Cheng could not allow the Hu people to capture Xiangcheng, break into the heart of Daxia, invade Daxia territory, and humiliate the people of Daxia.
Yan Cheng took the thousand cavalrymen sent to him by the Marquis of Zhenbei and rushed to Xiangcheng at full speed.
They rode their horses at top speed over the mountain, hoping to reach Xiangcheng as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, when they walked into a valley, Yan Cheng's sharp eyes suddenly discovered something abnormal on one side of the valley.
He raised his hand to signal the team to stop and carefully approach to check.
I saw a Hu people's camp hidden in the valley, with tents arranged in an orderly manner, and many Hu guards patrolling around.
Yan Cheng carefully observed the situation in the camp and thought to himself.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the piles of supplies in the camp.
That was a mountain of food and fodder.
A bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
If the Hu people's food supplies can be burned, it will not only weaken their combat effectiveness, but also disrupt their plans and buy more time for Xiangcheng.
Yan Cheng calmed down instantly and ordered most of the thousand cavalrymen to move. He took Leng Yan and several others to knock out the Hu people patrolling in a remote area and changed into Hu people's clothes.
Yan Cheng's eyes quickly and carefully scanned everyone's outfit, not missing any details.
After confirming that there were no flaws, he led the few people with a firm look, and moved carefully and quietly towards the direction of the barracks' food and supplies like a ghost.
Along the way, they tried their best to avoid other Hu patrols.
Everyone tried hard to imitate the posture and pace of the Hu people, striving to make every move realistic.
Whenever a Hu person came towards them, Yan Cheng and the others' heartbeats would involuntarily accelerate.
But with his excellent disguise and extremely calm response, he successfully passed the inspection without any danger in extremely thrilling situations time and time again.
Gradually, they approached the food and fodder area in the Hu people's camp.
Yan Cheng looked up and saw the mountain of food and fodder, and he couldn't help feeling happy.
But at the same time, he kept reminding himself to be more vigilant.
He was afraid that even the slightest mistake at this critical moment would cause all his previous efforts to go to waste.
At this time, outside the barracks, the cavalry carefully arranged by Yan Cheng were already on full alert and fully prepared.
According to a carefully planned plan, they created all kinds of complicated noises and chaotic commotion, successfully attracting the attention of the Hu people.
In the panic, some of the Hu guards in the barracks were urgently transferred to the scene of the riot to investigate the specific situation.
Yan Cheng spotted this perfect opportunity with sharp eyes, and quietly approached the grain pile with Leng Yan and others, and then deftly took out a fire starter and flammable objects from his arms.
At this moment, a Hu guard seemed to have sensed something subtle and walked slowly towards them with heavy steps.
"Hey! What are you guys doing here?" the Hu guard shouted.
Yan Cheng responded calmly: "We are on patrol!"
The Hu guard's face was filled with deep suspicion, and his eyes swept back and forth among them.
Just as he was about to question him further, Yan Cheng suddenly attacked without warning and punched him in the abdomen with such powerful force that he was knocked unconscious to the ground.
Then, he quickly opened the tinderbox without hesitation and threw it on the food.
In an instant, the fire spread like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and thick smoke suddenly rose up like a demon with bared fangs and claws.
The barracks suddenly exploded and fell into extreme chaos.
The Hu people were panicked and ran around shouting in fear. Some were busy putting out the fire, while others were busy running away.
Yan Cheng and others took advantage of the chaos to evacuate quickly and successfully met up with their own people who were anxiously waiting outside the barracks.
After going out and reuniting with their own people, they looked back.
I saw that half of the Hu army camp had been ruthlessly engulfed by the raging fire. The flames shot up into the sky, and the dazzling light illuminated half of the night sky.
Yan Cheng looked back at the blazing flames, but his heart was not greatly moved.
He was a Daxia person, and the Hu people had always been eyeing Daxia covetously, invading Daxia's land year after year, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities. So the Hu people were his enemies.
He never had mercy on his enemies, nor did he feel the slightest sympathy for them.
He lowered his voice and whispered, "Let's go back to Xiangcheng!"
At this moment, he was secretly thinking in his heart, wondering whether the stubborn man in the Northwest Army would accept this token of allegiance.
Yan Cheng led everyone and galloped on horseback without hesitation.
Behind them was a chaotic Hu military camp and angry and roaring Hu people.

The Hu people were all busy dealing with the burning barracks at the moment, and not many people had the energy to pay attention to the situation in Xiangcheng.
