Ning Jianghuai did not think that Su Cheng's marksmanship was not good. When he graduated from the military academy, Su Cheng was on the list and ranked among the top three in shooting among the graduates. Naturally, he would not underestimate Su Cheng's ability.

He shook his head, but changed his explanation: "Maybe the man who was hit was not an officer, but someone else?"

Su Cheng felt that he was careless. At that time, he was only focused on identifying the spies in the army, and did not consider that the spies they wanted to catch might not be from the army.

He immediately issued an order: "Seal the city gate immediately. From now on, only entry is allowed and no exit is allowed. In addition, among the troops stationed here, I want a detailed list of who has entered or exited the gate tonight."

Ning Jianghuai nodded and agreed with Su Cheng's instructions: "I can do this. Now we can let the others go back."

Su Cheng lowered his head and glanced at his watch. It was already very late. It was really unreasonable to call them up in the middle of the night.

He cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but for the safety of Rongcheng, I believe you won't care about my actions tonight."

Soon, everyone went back to their respective places.

Ning Jianghuai worked very quickly. He called the soldiers standing guard at the door over for questioning.

Ning Jianghuai didn't waste any time and asked directly: "From 11 o'clock in the evening to now, has anyone been in or out of the door during this period?"

The soldier heard the gunshots coming from the army, but he was a low-ranking soldier and was just an ordinary soldier. He did not know that a spy had sneaked in.

He said frankly: "Captain Ning, you have made a rule before that you are not allowed to leave the camp without permission after ten o'clock in the evening. There is really no soldier coming in or out during the time you just mentioned."

Su Cheng frowned. The defense here was similar to that in Yunzhou City. The outer wall was covered with power grids. If someone took advantage of this, they could only get out through the door.

Su Cheng said in a cold voice: "Do you dare to guarantee with your life that no soldier will go out?"

The soldier held out three fingers and repeatedly assured: "Absolutely not."

Su Cheng's eyes grew colder. Logically speaking, the injured man could not stay here any longer. He would definitely take the opportunity to escape. Perhaps they had overlooked a key point.

Su Cheng continued to ask: "If you think about it again, not a single soldier went out, but what about the others?"

After Su Cheng's reminder, the soldier suddenly remembered something.

He said: "Battle Commander Ning, during the time period you mentioned, a manure collector pushed a small cart out of the door. Is this manure collector the person you are looking for?"

Su Cheng nodded slightly and asked, "Did you see that man's appearance clearly? Is that manure collector the same person who often comes to the army to remove manure?"

The soldier shook his head. He did not observe carefully at that time. The smell of feces was so strong that he had no intention of paying attention to that person's appearance.

"Uncle Wang is the one who comes to the army every time to collect feces. Today, his son is here. He said that Uncle Wang is ill. In order not to delay his work, he works during the day and cannot spare time, so he can only come and collect feces at night."

Su Cheng curled his lips mockingly and sneered: "I came here to dig out feces at night. Didn't you find anything wrong?"

The soldier started to tremble all over, and he said tremblingly: "He came here to take over his father's job. It's not easy to come here to collect excrement at night. I thought there was nothing wrong, so I let him in."

After hearing what he said, Su Cheng slammed the table.

The soldier who had just finished speaking was trembling all over. He was wondering if he had said or done the wrong thing.

Su Cheng took a few deep breaths and said angrily: "It must be the dung collector. Although Rongcheng is not big or small, it would be extremely difficult to find that man in such a big Rongcheng. "Ning Jianghuai asked the soldiers on guard to leave the office. He stepped forward and patted Su Cheng on the shoulder.

"Commander Su, if we are really unsure, we can ask the warlord what he wants. The warlord is well-informed and he will definitely give us some advice and tell us what to do next."

Su Cheng also wanted to contact the Overseer, but he remembered what he said to the Overseer today. The Overseer cared so much about Boss Gu and said something bad about Boss Gu. He really had no shame to call the Overseer again.

He rejected Ning Jianghuai’s idea.

"You have to trouble the Overseer in everything. Do you want to be scolded by the Overseer?"

Ning Jianghuai naturally didn't want to be scolded, but sometimes even if he was scolded, he still had to let the governor know the situation here.

The warlord is good at strategizing. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, he can win a decisive victory.

Ning Jianghuai decided to make this call to the governor despite the thought of being scolded. Now they can no longer control the situation here.

"Mr. Su, if you don't make this call, I will. I think this person's identity is unknown, and he is likely to sneak into your office with other tasks, so we must make this call."

Ning Jianghuai ignored Su Cheng's response. He walked to the place where the phone was installed and called the study room of the Governor's Mansion.

Soon, Mu Yichen answered the phone.

Ning Jianghuai's standing posture was standard. He reported in detail what had just happened on the phone.

Mu Yichen's eyes turned cold. According to Ning Jianghuai's statement, the injured man was most likely someone hidden in He Jiushi's army, and there might be an undiscovered insider in Rongcheng's army.

Mu Yichen immediately made a decision. He could not let the soldiers stationed in Rongcheng continue to waste time here. If they continued to waste time, the situation might become worse.

He said: "Ning Jianghuai, now you immediately gather all the soldiers in Rongcheng and snipe the enemy in ten minutes. I will call He Jiushi now and ask him to issue an order immediately. You will attack from both front and rear tonight."

Ning Jianghuai said: "Yes, warlord."

Soon, Ning Jianghuai hung up the phone in his hand.

Su Cheng stood aside, and he naturally heard clearly what the warlord said to Ning Jianghuai. During the phone call, the warlord never mentioned a word about him from beginning to end. His eyes were dim and silent.

Ning Jianghuai had the whole Rongcheng in his heart, and he didn't notice the change in Su Cheng's expression.

He spoke very quickly: "I immediately summoned soldiers to go to the city wall to fight. Staff Officer Su, we must act immediately without losing any time."

……

Soon, beacon fires were burning inside and outside the high wall, dust and smoke were everywhere, and shouts and gunshots echoed in the night sky.

The soldiers of Rongcheng fought fiercely with the enemy troops who captured Rongcheng below. The soldiers guarding the city wall responded calmly, blocking the enemy's fierce attacks time and time again.

Loud horns were blown, shouts and gunshots occurred one after another in and outside the city, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Ning Jianghuai held a pistol and aimed to shoot at the enemy below.
