Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 188 A Letter from an Old Friend

Shen Cha ran out of Lu Shengyuan's big tent, dragged Shen Haolin, and ran towards the Zhenguo Mansion. Fortunately, the Shen family's army station was next to the Zhen Guo Mansion, so he came here in less than a cup of tea. Arrived at the gate of Qin Zheng and Yan Bo's courtyard.

"Uncle Yan!" Shen Cha shouted loudly.

When several people arrived, they saw Yan Bo standing at the door looking around, looking inside the courtyard for a while, and looking outside for a while.

"Haolin, Xiaocha, Xiaotian, Xiaojing!" Seeing the figures of the children, Yan Bo waved at them, "I'm relieved that you are here."

"What's going on here? Why is Master sick? Isn't he still fine when he wakes up in the morning?"

While speaking, Shen Cha rushed into the yard, and was stopped by Yan Bo within two steps.

"Little Cha, calm down!" Yan Bo grabbed Shen Cha's arm and pushed her into Shen Haolin's arms, "Miao Miao has already arrived, and she is going to see Lao Qin inside, let's wait outside for a while Son, don't bother them, okay?"

"Yan Bo is right, let's wait for a while, don't worry! Be good!" Shen Haolin hugged Shen Cha to keep her from moving, and then looked at Yan Bo, "Did Miao Miao tell you, what is the reason for uncle? Sick? Wasn't it fine this morning?"

"Hey, there's no particular reason, just... just..."

"What is it?" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing glanced at each other, then looked at Yan Bo curiously, "Why are you suddenly embarrassed?"

"It's really embarrassing, it's all because we are...too careless." Yan Bo smiled awkwardly, and said, "After we came back last night, we felt that it was still early. After a good year, we can't just eat every day. Sleeping, isn’t it? Besides, the snow isn’t falling too much outside, but it looks beautiful, so we just sat on the porch, drank wine and watched the snow for a while.”

"Nothing covered, just sitting outside enjoying the snow and drinking?" Shen Cha's eyes widened, "Didn't you set up a charcoal basin and hold a hand stove?"

"Both of us didn't feel cold, and we're not used to setting up charcoal basins or hand stoves. So..." Yan Bo scratched his hair, "Maybe I caught a cold when I didn't realize it, and woke up this morning , he said that he was a little dizzy and wanted to sleep for a while. Didn’t he find someone to deliver a letter to you, saying that you don’t have to wait for us for breakfast? After sleeping for more than half an hour, he felt better, so he pulled me up , wash, and eat breakfast. After breakfast, sit in the room drinking tea and chatting. Before finishing a cup of tea, he felt very uncomfortable, nauseous, and wanted to vomit, but he didn’t vomit, so I helped him to lie on the recliner. Before he got to the reclining chair, he said that his stomach hurt like a knife, and he started to have a stomachache when he ran to the latrine. It took about seven or eight times to toss back and forth before the pain completely passed. My stomach stopped rumbling, and I started to feel hot again. When I saw that it was not good, I sent someone to find you and Miao Miao. Miao Miao came after you, and kicked me out as soon as I entered the door. "

"It might be because of the wind blowing and drinking again last night." Hearing what Yan Bo said, Shen Cha put the heart in his throat to relax a little, sighed slightly, and said, "The wine is Didn't it make people warm up?"

"It's so late, why bother them? It's not like we can't drink cold wine."

"Uncle Yan!" Xue Ruitian came over and put his arms around Uncle Yan's shoulders, "You and Uncle are not young anymore, no matter how you look at it, they are not as good as when you two were young, you have to recognize this A little. Don’t talk about you two, it’s freezing, at our age we need to warm up the wine if we want to drink, at least it will make this stomach feel comfortable and not condense together, right?” Xue Ruitian looked at it worriedly The direction of the main house, "Look, just greedy for this sip of cold wine, just lazy for a while, how much uncle will suffer!"

"That's right, Uncle Yan, you and the master are no longer the young and strong boys you used to be. You should pay more attention to your body, especially what you eat, and you can't fool around casually."

"Got it, next time we will come up with something!"

"I still plan to have a next time!" Shen Cha was annoyed by Yan Bo, sighed, turned to look at Shen Haolin, and said, "Brother, I want to give a memorial to His Majesty after I go back."

"Do you want to ask him to allow uncle to come back to Jiaping Pass?"

"That's what I mean." Shen Cha nodded, "Master is getting old, so he can't stay outside all the time, he should come home and be by our side, so we can rest assured, right? I think, even if he can't take off his armor and go back to the field , it would be good to transfer back to Jiaping Guancheng.”

"Alright." Shen Haolin nodded, "With us, once something happens, we can respond in time, otherwise, it's so far away, no matter how anxious we are. Wait until we get there , maybe everything is already a foregone conclusion.”

"You don't have to worry about this!" Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "I'll tell Song Jue, anyway, Yongningguan City is different from ours, and Duan's brain is not often used by donkeys. What’s more, when my uncle transferred to Yongning Guancheng, he said it was a temporary transfer, and since it was a temporary transfer, it’s time to transfer back.”

"Boss!" Ying Si ran over with a small package and a letter, "Your letter is from Liao Kingdom."

"Liao Kingdom?" Shen Cha was slightly taken aback, took the letter and package in Yingsi's hand, looked at the signature on the envelope, "Oh, it's old general Wanyan Zhanxiong."

"Oh?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows and leaned over with great interest, "I was still thinking about whether the old general had returned to the Liao Kingdom yesterday. The letter has already arrived today." He turned his head to look at Ying Wu, and then Look at Ying Si, "What's the news from the Kingdom of Jin?"

"I don't know yet." Ying Wu and Ying Si shook their heads, "I know that Wan Yan Zongcheng lost his temper a few days ago, and it probably has something to do with the old general."

"He can only lose his temper. There is nothing he can do except lose his temper." Jin Jing sneered, "His current situation is worse than internal and external troubles. Although he killed Wanyan and Wen, we can oppose him. There are still many people who continue to be the king."

"Even his own sister is against it." Shen Cha added, "You have all heard Yan Yun's words, she is extremely disappointed in what her second brother has done these years, she is already so disappointed that she hopes we will wipe it out The state of Jin has reached."

"That is to say, so, what else can Wanyan Zongcheng do other than lose his temper and sulk?" Jin Jing shook her head, "The team represented by the old general Wanyan Zhanxiong should not particularly support him. Right?"

"Yes!" Ying Wu nodded, "The stance of this branch seems to be neutral, but in fact, it has a very close relationship with the one that opposes it secretly. No matter how dissatisfied Wanyan Zongcheng is, he dare not Then make enemies for yourself. Otherwise, his throne is really in jeopardy, and it is very likely that he will be kicked out after the year is over."

"Wanyan Zongcheng was furious in his palace. Old General Wanyan Zhanxiong... No, it should be changed now. The old general changed back to the surname Yelu. Now he should be called Old General Yelu Zhanxiong." Shen Cha looked at Jin Jing and smiled. Said, "Old General Yeluze Sheng's wish for many years has been fulfilled."

"After waiting for so many years, Old General Yeluze Sheng has finally waited for this day. Where there is a will, there is a way." Jin Jing nodded, "However, if Wanyan Zongcheng hadn't killed himself, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. The King of Liao and Yelu Ertu must be very happy now, Wanyan Zongcheng handed over this veteran and sent him back, even if the old general is no longer on the battlefield, his understanding of the Kingdom of Jin is his greatest advantage."

"Yeluertu will not take the initiative to inquire about such things." Shen Cha handed the letter to Shen Haolin, and opened the package by himself, "He will find a way to let the old general speak out by himself. Look, the old general just came back, He and the little Liao King prepared a very luxurious five-entry courtyard house for the old general, the location is very good, just next door to the old general Yelvze Sheng, the two brothers became neighbors."

"That location is not so good." Yingsi, who is familiar with the situation of Linhuang Mansion, explained, "In the most luxurious block of Linhuang Mansion, almost all the owners of the houses are from the Yelu family. The Qi family in Nanyuan is qualified to live there, and it can be called the gathering place of nobles in Linhuang Mansion."

"This old fellow Zhanxiong has finally figured it out." Yan Bo sighed, "What kind of treatment did he receive in the Kingdom of Jin? Work hard!" He shook his head, "I don't know what he's up to, he didn't say it himself, my mother's last wish was to let him go back to the Liao Kingdom, if I were him, I would have given up and left long ago people."

"Perhaps the old man has his own reasons!" Shen Cha opened the package, and took out several ornaments with obvious characteristics of the Liao Kingdom, a total of twenty pieces. "These are the annual presents given to us by the old man. Let's share them later, let's keep them as souvenirs!"

"What do you want to commemorate?" Jin Miaomiao walked out of the house when she heard that Shen Cha was going to share something, and she took two quick steps, "What good thing?"

"Don't talk about it yet!" Shen Cha stuffed the package into Shen Haolin's hand, and reached out to grab Jin Miaomiao's shoulder, "How is my master?"
