Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 136 Reward 1.0

In the next few days, everyone's life returned to normal. Those who should handle official duties, those who should patrol, those who should recuperate from illness, and those who should clean the house, everything is in order.

Because Yan Bo watched the guards clean the duke's mansion and marquis' mansion every day, and also received all kinds of new year's purchases, and the menu of the New Year's Eve dinner had to go through his hands before being delivered to Shen Cha, so, Marshal Qin Zheng and deputy marshals are particularly boring these days.When he gets bored, he starts looking for something to do.

The first person to be approached was Xue Ruitian. Qin Zheng had passed Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's kung fu exams before, and it was Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing's turn soon, but it turned out that the case of the Jin Kingdom Mission in Wuma Town, everyone Busy with this matter, I distracted myself from the school exam.Now everyone is free, especially Xue Ruitian, who spends all day loitering in the Duke's mansion and the military camp, and was caught by the vice-marshal who was also doing nothing.

The assessment process was not very tragic. Although Xue Ruitian didn't practice hard, he was smart and could adapt to changes during the competition. This made up for many of his deficiencies. Even if he didn't beat Qin Zheng, he still passed him. One hundred and fifty strokes, barely passed.

Jin Jing didn't have such good luck, he couldn't even survive a hundred moves, but Qin Zheng also let him go because he was a military adviser.

As for the lieutenants in the army headed by Song Qiyun, Xia Jiu, and Shen Jiu, it was even worse. They were caught by the Qin Zheng and deputy marshals, braving the wind and snow every day, tossing to death on the school grounds.

Wei Xiaowei, who was sent by Shen Cha to deliver a letter to Yelunan, came back on the night of Lunar New Year's Eve. On the way back, he encountered a heavy snowstorm and was trapped in the inn, which only delayed him for a few days.

According to Wei Xiaowei, Yelunan searched Wanyanxi's room on the pretext of an unexpected visitor at the station on the night he received the news, and found an envelope with blank letter paper in Wanyanxi's luggage and the things Shen Cha mentioned. In addition to the potion, there is also a thick book, which records a very complete and detailed plan to assassinate the princess of Xia and blame the mission of the Liao Kingdom.

This plan started with surveying the surroundings of the Princess Mansion, Prince Consort's Mansion, and Prince Jardine's Mansion, including which way the Prince's Mansion entered the palace, and which way to return to the mansion after the ceremony. , There is even a plan to investigate the situation of the guests attending the wedding, mainly the personnel of various missions.In this plan, Wanyanxi listed the princess and the son-in-law as the targets of assassination, as well as the special envoys of missions from various countries.He made a note under the list of targets in very small characters, meaning that, if possible, all missions except the Liao Kingdom mission would be robbed and killed by assassins after they left the palace. .

The entire plan of assassination and blaming was written in bronze script, including the correspondence between Wanyan Xi and Wanyan and Wen, but the people living in the border, especially the frontier troops, are basically proficient in the three kingdoms. Not to mention that Yelunan, who stayed in the Kingdom of Jin for two or three years and messed up the Kingdom of Jin, could understand what was written in this book without an interpreter at all.

Wan Yanxi's plan was that after the successful assassination of each mission, they would lead the pursuers to the place where the Liao mission was staying, and then focus everyone's attention on the Liao mission.The Jin Kingdom mission headed by Wanyan and Wen could take this opportunity to muddy the water, asking the Emperor Xia to arrest the murderer and give the countries an explanation.

If this plan is really implemented, it may be successful, but unfortunately, it is completely impossible now.The investigations in the early stage alone required a lot of manpower. This was originally supposed to be done by the people brought by Wanyan and Wen. However, they have returned to their hometowns now, and they can no longer do this kind of thing. Wanyan is happy Humans can't do it at all.

What's more, when this secret was discovered, even if Wan Yanxi had eight mouths, he still couldn't explain it clearly. No matter how he explained it, no one would believe it.At that time, Wan Yanxi broke the can and broke the pot, did not deny his premeditation at all, and said plausibly that the reason for this plan was that Yeluertu did not give him face and refused to lend him troops.If Yeluer wanted to know others, he would quickly help him send troops to attack Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyanping, and he might consider letting the Liao Kingdom go, otherwise, when he became king in the future, the Yelu family would be the first to be destroyed.

"My son has never seen such a brazen person!"

Wei Xiaowei said that Yelunan hadn't reacted for a long time after listening to Wan Yanxi's words, and finally came back to his senses and said such a sentence.

In fact, not only Yelunan thought so, but everyone present at the time probably thought so. Wanyanxi is a self-righteous and extremely arrogant person, even Xiao Fengqi, who has always been at odds with Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng Agree with Yelunan's words.

Captain Wei said that if Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng hadn't stopped him, Xiao Fengqi would have rushed to beat Yan Xi violently.

Although Wan Yanxi was not beaten, his hands and feet were tied up on the spot. To prevent him from yelling, a handkerchief was used to block his mouth.When he was on his way, Wan Yanxi was thrown into the carriage. When he arrived in Xijing, he would not have any freedom. When he arrived at the post house, he would be locked in the room, watched by five burly men, and he was not allowed to step out of the room.

As for the attendant who sneaked into the mission with Wan Yanxi, he was executed silently by Xiao Fengqi on the day Wan Yanxi was arrested.

"Wanyanxi is probably still dreaming. When the Jin Guo Mission arrives in Xijing, he will have the day when he will regain his freedom." Shen Cha shook his head, "He never imagined that, he will never wait for this day. Forget it , no matter what, the princess's ceremony can proceed smoothly, what happens to Wan Yanxi is no longer important."

Shen Haolin agreed that what they were worried about would not happen, and that was the point.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and in the morning of that day, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian, and Jin Jing appeared in the Shen family army's barracks in soft armor. They stayed in each tent for a while, chatting with the soldiers Let's talk, let's get closer to each other.

"It's been a long time since I've been so tired!" Back in the marshal's tent, Xue Ruitian stretched, hugged Jin Jing next to him, and let him drag him away. "What's the matter tonight, eat here first, and then go back to the Duke's mansion to watch the night? Isn't it too much tossing back and forth? It's so cold this year, let's just stay in the warm pavilion and don't come out and wander around. ?”

"Brother Xiaotian, don't you feel tired hanging on Brother Xiaojing?" Shen Cha sat beside Shen Haolin, looking at the two inseparable people, "It's more tiring and difficult than walking by yourself. Bar?"

"No way!" Xue Ruitian hugged Jin Jing's shoulders tightly, "This is so much fun!"

"Leave them alone, let them go." Shen Haolin handed Shen Cha a cup of hot tea, and said to Xue Ruitian, "Although we run on both sides every year, this year is definitely not possible. It is rare for Uncle Qin to celebrate the New Year with us. As juniors, we Always stay by the old man's side. Moreover, there are three more children in the mansion this year, so we can't let the children run back and forth with us."

"Speaking of children..." Jin Jing threw Xue Ruitian onto the cushion with great effort, and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Are you ready for the New Year's money?"

"Hey, I'm dizzy from work. If Brother Xiaojing hadn't reminded me, I would have completely forgotten about this." Shen Cha patted his forehead lightly, "It just so happens that I have a small box of golden beans in my pocket. They are very suitable for New Year's money."

"Go with me!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha's shoulder, "I'm ready, don't worry."

"Since you guys have prepared golden beans, it would be bad for me to give this away." Xue Ruitian grinded his chin and looked at Jin Jing, "Little Jingjing, what are you going to give? Let's not bump into each other, shall we?"

"Actually, I also have a lot of golden beans." Jin Jing smiled helplessly, "It shouldn't matter, right? There are many families in Xijing, don't their children's lucky money all come from this?" He stretched out his hand and tugged at Xue Ruitian's ear, "Let me tell you , you don’t want to be independent, I heard the deputy commander-in-chief discuss with Yan Bo a few days ago, saying that each of the three children should be given a longevity lock.”

"Sure enough!" Xue Ruitian spread his hands, "Forget it, I won't steal uncle's limelight, I'll go back and look around later to see where I threw my golden beans!"

"Marshal!" Ying Wu opened the curtain and strode in, "Eunuch Pan is here with His Majesty's reward!"
