Chapter 197
"Do you think Beirong will not send troops?"

Cheng Xiang has been paying attention to the actions of this fire-headed army. He has always had a vicious eye on people.Although this fire-headed soldier looks silly, he actually has a sharp edge about him.

"Probably a feint."

Wen Chengyun nodded slightly.

The people are the foundation of a country. No matter whether it is the Beirong or the country, no matter how it develops, the people cannot be bypassed. After all, there is no country without the people.

Wen Chengyun has already had the experience of fighting other countries many times.Before the real war between the two countries broke out, except for the supplies of food and grass.

Without exception, the government must notify the people of the country to evacuate in a timely manner. Tourists who are doing business abroad will also receive notices to return home. This is to reduce necessary casualties.

Judging from the trade situation in Qingshi Town, there is still an endless stream of Beirong people coming and going, and this year's grain harvest in Beirong is not good.Exchange purchases need to be made through Qingshi Town, the nearest trading location.

Taking it all into consideration, the probability of Bei Rong launching a war is not high. Even if there is, the probability is that it is an excuse to ask for food.

"I've also considered the possibility you mentioned, but I'm not afraid of [-], just in case."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Cheng Xiang's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pat Wen Chengyun's shoulder, as if confessing his last words.

"Your accent sounds like someone from Qingshi Town. If a war really breaks out, the brothers can't go back. If you think about it during the holidays, you will burn incense sticks for your brothers."

What he said was somewhat desolate, and Wen Chengyun's mind was a little panicked.The number of guards in the border squad is too small, in case of misjudgment, except for the soldiers sent back to report.Others, in principle, need to stick to their positions.

When Wen Chengyun pushed the small cart back, he glanced back at the little green men lurking in the grass, and made a bold decision.

At nightfall, a faint bird song sounded, and a figure climbed up from the military tent.

Wen Chengyun stepped out of the big tent lightly, and outside the barracks, Wu Qi also changed into a black night clothes and waited in the dark.Knowing that the Lord has entered the military camp, if there is no urgent matter, he will not rashly contact Wen Chengyun in this way.

But Cheng Weiyao couldn't hold back Cheng Weiyao's soft and hard talk, and insisted on delivering a letter for her. Seeing the princess's expression was really urgent, he didn't dare to delay, so he had to take the risk to come here.

"This is a letter from the princess requesting to be delivered to the Lord."

Wu Qi's words made Wen Chengyun raise his eyebrows in disbelief.He is aware of Cheng Weiyao's temperament, and has always been prudent in handling things. Could it be that there is something important at home?
Wen Chengyun frowned, and hadn't opened the letter yet.Wu Qi had already comforted her with empathy: "There is nothing wrong at home, and the situation in Qingshi Town is also stable. It must be some other trivial matter, to show love..."

Wen Chengyun paused when he opened the letter, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.Madam's ignorant temperament is not a woman who can write any love letters. With such pretentious skills, she has sold several copies of her food...

He felt emotional in his heart, but his hand to open the letter was not slow at all.The content of the letter was exactly as Wu Qi said, it was some chatter heard from diners.

The reason for the letter was that these diners were all soldiers in the army, and the name of Shangshu Hubu and Prince Beirong were mentioned in it.

As soon as the names of these two people came out, it could be said that it was very important, Wen Chengyun was a little surprised in his heart.It would be impossible for ordinary soldiers to know such an inside story, but it would be possible for Liao Yu's confidants...

However, if it can be used as a talking point, the authenticity of it needs to be studied.Originally, after returning from Cheng Xiang's side, he intentionally wanted to visit the Beirong military camp, but now it seems that this trip is a must!
Wen Chengyun rubbed his temples, took out the fire folder on the spot, blew lightly, and burned the letter completely.

"Tell Madam for me, for my husband's safety in the barracks, Madam thanked you for sending me the news. Please also take care of yourself and your family. The big event is already in sight, and you will triumph in the near future, don't worry about it."

It was already late at night when Cheng Weiyao received the letter brought back by Wu Qi.

Wen Chengyun himself has already touched Beirong's barracks in the dark. There are many carts piled up in Beirong's barracks, and sacks are piled up on top of them.Beirong soldiers in twos and threes sat around the campfire drinking kumiss and telling dirty jokes.

The first thing that made Wen Chengyun suspicious was the bags of grain. Beirong's grain harvest this year was not good, so how could there be such a large amount of grain piled up in the camp.

With a slight flash of Wen Chengyun's figure, he jumped behind one of the carts in a few breaths.He lightly poked a hole with a knife, and what was exposed after the sack was broken was not rice, but yellow straw.

It seems that my guess is not wrong, it is a pretense.Wen Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief, the lack of food and grass almost confirmed that the war this time was a fake.

Then there is the issue of the imperial court's traitors. Even if there is no letter from Cheng Weiyao, Wen Chengyun will actually lock the suspicion on the Minister of the Household Department.After all, he is the best responder in the capital, whether it is military rations or military salary, they will all pass through his hands.

The imperial court has doubts, but rash action will chill the hearts of some old officials who don't know the truth, so the conspiracy to treason requires a solid evidence.

"His Royal Highness's tent is singing and dancing again today, which makes me envious. When will we really start a war and find two Central Plains women to play with..."

The envious tone of the Beirong soldiers pointed Wen Chengyun in the direction of the tent of Prince Beirong.

Wen Chengyun went around to the back, and determined the eavesdropping position according to the size of the sound source.

"His Royal Highness, the people over there have already sent a letter, asking when we will send troops. If we don't send troops, they will not be able to ask the court for extra military pay..."

"What's the rush? Even if it's a feint attack, you still need time to prepare. Those sanctimonious Central Plains people don't understand, don't you know what's going on with us? Food is a big problem, hurry up and sign it!"

Yelurong put his arms around the slim-waisted beauty in his arms, and mercilessly reprimanded his nosy subordinates.

He has cooperated with foreigners like Hubu Shangshu not once or twice, and no one is more familiar with the abacus of the Central Plains people than himself.The delay in sending troops is to strive for greater benefits. As long as the Hubu Shangshu and Liao Yu are put on the shelf, if you can talk about it at that time, it will not be [-]-[-], but [-]-[-].

Wen Chengyun was a little startled when he heard it outside the tent, even if it was pretending to attack.It is not easy to read these six words carefully...
