Chapter 839 Misunderstood Him
"General Cheng, I don't know what provoked the other side. From last night until now, they have hardly stopped attacking us."
The young general who was in charge of leading the troops behind was exhausted, but he forced himself to cheer up and report the battle situation to Shengze.
"What are the casualties?" Sheng Ze took the map of Jiji Mountain and asked calmly.
The young general frowned and said, "Although our army has managed to hold this place, the losses are very heavy. More than half of the 5,000 defenders have been lost. If you had arrived a quarter of an hour later, this place would have been lost."
In fact, he had just prepared to order his men to retreat, and withdrawing now would at least save more than 2,000 people.
Sheng Ze patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Five thousand people were able to hold off the Jun tribe's 30,000-strong army for eight hours. They had indeed tried their best.
However, Shengze still doesn't know why the Jun people suddenly attacked Jiji Mountain. As far as he knows, although it is already September, the drought outside is still very serious. It is abnormal for the Jun people to attack at this time.
But Sheng Ze didn't have time to guess at the moment. After making some urgent arrangements, he led the troops into the battle.
On the other side, Shen Qingqian stayed awake all night and was distracted frequently while working with Doctor Hu.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about Cheng San?" Doctor Hu spoke directly and did not hide anything. He asked casually when he saw her like this.
Shen Qingqian quickly shook her head, "No, I'm thinking about business."
Is she that obvious?
"Then take a look at it. Am I writing it correctly? Can ordinary people understand it?" Doctor Hu didn't care too much and handed over the newly written manuscript.
Shen Qingqian calmed down and quickly got down to work.
At noon, Liang asked someone to tell Shen Qingqian to come back home for dinner tonight.
Doctor Hu was worried and asked Xiao Sun to send her back.
When they arrived at Huanxiyuan, no matter how Shen Qingqian invited him, Xiao Sun insisted on going back.
"Mom, I'm back!" Shen Qingqian shouted as soon as she entered the yard.
Liang had just come out of the kitchen, holding some dishes in her hands. When she saw her, she rarely smiled and simply said, "Go wash up and get ready for dinner."
Shen Qingqian was puzzled. Liang's attitude was not right. What happened?
But Wu and the others also came out to greet her one after another, and the whole family sat happily in the dining room of the main house to eat, so Shen Qingqian had no time to think about it.
After dinner, when Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingxiao went to wash the dishes together, Shen Qingxiao said casually, "Third Brother Cheng came to see Aunt San yesterday. I don't know what he said, but Aunt San didn't seem very happy."
Shen Qingqian paused, "Brother Cheng came to our house yesterday."
"Yes, he came with Brother Cheng Yun and brought a lot of things." Shen Qingxiao nodded.
She was just curious about what the Cheng brothers were doing yesterday. They clearly brought something with them, but after they left, Liang didn't say that Cheng San was here to propose marriage. So why did they behave like that yesterday?
Shen Qingqian was a little nervous at the moment. Combining what Sheng Ze said to her yesterday and Liang's attitude at the moment, her mother didn't call her back to keep her distance from Sheng Ze.
When Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingxiao finished cleaning up the kitchen, Liang Shi called her from the third room, "Sister Qian, come back. I have something to tell you."
Shen Qingqian took off her apron and went back with a conflicted expression.
"Mother, you"
The mother and daughter sat in the living room for a long time. Liang didn't say anything, so Shen Qingqian had to speak first.
But Liang interrupted her, "So, I misunderstood him before. It was you who was unwilling to get engaged."
