Jiapingguan Chronicle

Xue Ruitian sighed, pushed Shen Cha gently, and glanced at Mr. Jiang and Qi Bo.

Shen Cha glanced over there, waved to a few people, and left.

Walking to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha looked at him, then at Qi Bo and Jiang Erye, and showed a faint smile.

"Are you here to inquire about information again? Your brother was inquiring just now, and you came here too?" Second Master Jiang raised his eyebrows, "You didn't come out with us. Are you talking to little brother Zhen in the flower hall, but what happened?" You've set yourself up and come to our side again?"

"You, the Second Grandpa, are not so tight-lipped, right?" Shen Cha smiled, looked at the Second Master Jiang, and sighed again.

"Why are you sighing? What's the problem?"

"It's not really a problem, it's just that those two don't seem to have a high opinion of Master Fa Lian."

"The evaluation is not very high?" Qi Bo was stunned for a moment, "Have they met before?"

"I should have seen them before. In the early years, those two also pretended to be Taoist priests and wandered around in the world. Maybe they had seen each other at that time." Jiang Erye chuckled, "The great achievements of those two are really impressive. I can't say enough." He looked at Shen Cha, "What do they think of Master Fa Lian?"

"You said you should stay away from this person. He is not a kind person. He is following an evil path."

"That's right. It's indeed a wicked way." Second Master Jiang nodded, "If the two of them say yes, then it must be yes."

"why?"

"For those two people, just one meeting is enough for them to see a person's character."

"I heard Brother Xiaojue say this, but is it really that powerful?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, both of them had confused expressions, "Brother Xiaojue said that they are very accurate in seeing people, but I never said you could tell this person’s character at a glance.”

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "Second Grandpa, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"I've heard that too, but it's not an exaggeration. You'll know it just by looking over there." Jiang Erye said to Zhen Buhui, who was already laughing and joking with a group of people, "Do you understand?"

"Brother Zhen?" Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"It means, look at those two people who have picked up so many children and raised them over the years. Even if they are children of foreign races, they don't dislike them. Think about it, how many of the children they picked up and raised have betrayed them? Even the person who has become Wan Yanping’s confidant in Jin Kingdom is loyal to them, right?”

"Indeed." Shen Cha nodded slightly, "From this point of view, they are indeed very capable."

"Is it a special skill that only belongs to them?"

"Yes." Mr. Jiang nodded, "The ability of the King Jing brothers to see people is their talent, and it is engraved in their blood. I heard that their clan is like this. Ordinary people want to learn it, but they should learn it." Not coming."

"So, if they deny a person, no matter how normal or good the person is, he is definitely not a kind person, right?"

"That's right, any disguise is useless in front of them and will be exposed sooner or later." Second Master Jiang nodded, "So, if those two deny Master Falian, it really means that this person is not a good person. "

"Wait a minute." Shen Cha interrupted Second Master Jiang, "If those two have met Master Fa Lian, it will prove our guess, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin immediately understood the meaning of the review. "They said they should stay away from this person. They said he had gone into evil ways, which means that Master Fa Lian was still alive at that time."

"More than that, they were talking to the kids like Brother Zhen, which happened in the last ten or twenty years." At this point, Shen Cha turned around and shouted to Zhen Buhui, "Zhen Buhui" Brother, come here!"

"Hey, okay, I'm here!" When Zhen Buhui heard Shen Cha's call, he immediately abandoned the others and ran over, saying, "What do you want from me?"

"The second elder told you to stay away from Master Falian, right?" Seeing Zhen Buhui nodding, Shen Cha continued to ask, "When did you say that, do you still remember? Don't be too specific, it will last for about a period of time. good."

"Probably..." Zhen Buhui frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "About eleven or twelve years ago, right? At that time, they didn't know what they were crazy about. The main reason was that our young master wanted to pretend A Taoist priest went to the rivers and lakes to deceive people, oh, no, he was wanton in the rivers and lakes. Our prince has always said what the young master said, and he would do whatever the young master wanted to do. He never objected. So, these two people really left. Home, I went to travel around the world. Almost... well, about half a year later, the two of them came back. They said that the world was very fun, they met some interesting people, and encountered some interesting things. However, my son-in-law reminded me that If we go out in the future and encounter a great monk whose name is Falian, we must stay far away and avoid contact if possible. This person looks kind, but in reality he is not kind. He does things unscrupulously and follows crooked ways. It may end up harming others and yourself.”

"In other words, the second elder has seen him with his own eyes, right?"

"That's for sure!" Zhen Buhui looked at Shen Cha with a puzzled expression, "What's the problem?"

"The problem is, the two elders know what Master Falian looks like, don't they?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha said in unison. Seeing Jiang Erye, Qi Bo and Zhen Buhui's sudden realization, they shook their heads helplessly, "This is not obvious. ?"

"Okay, I'll go find Lao He later and ask him to send a letter back, asking the prince and the young master to draw a portrait." Zhen Buhui was confused for a while, and immediately understood what Shen Haolin and Shen Cha meant, "This will make it easier for us to find He's alive, right?" "Yes!" Shen Cha nodded and thought for a while, "Guess where he will be now? The Kingdom of Jin? Or a small island in the sea?"

"I think it should be the small island." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, and then at Jiang Erye who nodded to him and agreed with his statement, "If he were in the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Qingmu would definitely not end up like this. It will turn the tide.”

"Yes!" Shen Cha also agreed with Shen Haolin's statement, "I think so too. If he were here, he would not make the situation so ugly, nor would Wanyan Qingmu act so wantonly."

"Another possibility is that he deliberately put Wanyan Qingmu and Wanyan Ping into crisis and then became the savior."

"It's not impossible." Shen Cha sighed softly and looked at Zhen Buhui, "It's a good thing the two elders are still here, otherwise, we might really be deceived by Master Fa Lian."

"Not necessarily. We will definitely find out. It's just a matter of time." Shen Haolin reached out and patted her. "Now that we have the upper hand, we will no longer be led by his nose."

"That's what you said." Shen Cha nodded, looked at Zhen Buhui, then at Qi Bo and Jiang Erye, "Do you think there's anything unusual about that chart?"

"Because I painted it both times, the feeling is very direct." Zhen Buhui thought for a moment, "The paper is very thick, and it doesn't look like the site selection that is usually used for drawing, even if it is a map. Using such a thick paper, it feels like in our country, we haven’t seen many people using this kind of paper to draw pictures, right?”

"Yes." Mr. Jiang nodded, "Actually, this kind of paper is usually a tribute from overseas countries."

"How come things brought as tribute from other countries fell into the hands of the Ning family?" Zhen Buhui looked at Shen Cha in confusion, "This..."

"Don't you understand yet?" Shen Cha sneered, "Have you forgotten what Mrs. Ning said? Pirates and Japanese pirates are very good at and often rob tribute ships from other countries. So, how did the Ning family get this tribute? Yes, can’t you understand?”

"I understand." Zhen Buhui nodded, "Now I understand that the Ning family has something to do with these people."

"It's not that the Ning family has anything to do with them, it's that the Ning family's partners have something to do with them." Shen Haolin snorted coldly, "None of the Ning family, Luan family, or Liu family can escape this, the disguised pirates, and The Japanese pirates who obeyed them would divide the spoils after robbing the tributes. They did not dare to sell the tributes and could only use them themselves."

"That's what it is." Shen Cha spread his hands, "Apart from that, is there anything else?"

"I just looked at it carefully. The way of painting is actually completely different from ours." Qi Bo touched his chin, "I have seen Ning Changguo's paintings, and the painting style is also different. I can judge that this sea chart is not that of Ning Changguo." Those who draw the paintings should only be responsible for safekeeping."

"Not the Ning family?" Shen Haolin looked at Uncle Qi, "Who could that be? Uncle Qi, how old do you think this chart is now?"

"It's not short, but it's not long either. It's about thirty or forty years old." Qi Bo sighed softly, "Maybe it was Master Falian who entrusted someone to give it to them. After all, the Ning family is close to the sea. Hai knows better than others, right?"

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "The Luan family and the Liu family basically focus on the southwest and are not familiar with things at sea. Therefore, the Ning family is the best choice at sea."

"Brother is right, the Ning family is his best choice." Shen Cha spread his hands and said helplessly, "Actually, what I'm more worried about is whether this chart is used for deployment or something. If we attack Daxia, we still have to occupy all that sea area, and then become antagonistic to us. These are all very uncertain."

"It's very uncertain. We don't know his ambitions or his goals. We don't know anything." Second Master Jiang sighed softly, "I really agreed with what the second elder said. This person has evil intentions and evil ways." , I can’t guess at all what he is thinking and what his plans are.”

"Yes!" Qi Bo looked at everyone and sighed helplessly, "We thought that by solving the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom, all the problems were solved and we could live a peaceful life. But we didn't expect that, Resolving the civil strife in the Kingdom of Jin will be the beginning of this war. The front is just an appetizer, and the main event is behind. By that time, it will not be solved by a simple war. "

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Once we support Wanyanxi to successfully become king and break his plan, his counterattack will be even more violent. The Qinglian Sect still has a great influence here. If he ...It will also cause a lot of headaches.”

"The Green Lotus Sect has a great influence, but after so many purges, few people will believe it." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "Actually, I had an idea before and wanted to have a good chat with you."

"What kind of idea?"

"Join, I mean, if the master behind the Green Lotus Sect is Master Falian, and he is like this, attacking indiscriminately, not only Daxia, but also Liao and Jin, what he should want is not the control of a certain country. , but will cause the whole world to be in chaos and return to the war period a hundred years ago."

"Going back to the war period a hundred years ago? Could it be that he wants the throne?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "But if he had this intention, he should have run out at the end of the previous dynasty instead of hiding aside and watching the fun. ? It’s a little... a little too late to run out and make a fuss now, right? What the people want now is peace in the world and a stable life. If he wants to return to war, I’m afraid he can’t do it, right? "

"It should be impossible." Second Master Jiang chuckled, "But it doesn't prevent him from causing chaos. This is what we are worried about."

"Isn't this just a blind worry?" Qi Bo sneered, "That person's brain is different from ours. Both of them said that unscrupulous means and evil ways are only what normal minds like us can think of?"

"Can you think of it, don't you?" Shen Cha sighed, "When Wanyan Xi comes, we will make arrangements for his return. We still have confidence in this battle, but we are not sure Yes, in fact, we have to face Master Fa Lian next. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows, so we must be careful to prevent him from stumbling upon us in this battle. If he suddenly comes like this, we will If you are unprepared, you are very likely to fail, right? It just so happens that Master Falian has bumped into him now, so we will take this opportunity to get to know him better, and we will be caught off guard."

"Cha'er is right. She and I actually have the same idea. We have always been worried that this battle will not go particularly smoothly. It's not that there is anything wrong with Wanyan Qingmu or Wanyan Ping, but I am worried about the Qinglian Sect. Will the person behind the scenes interfere with Wanyanxi's matter? But he is not in the Kingdom of Jin, and he can't do much. I'm afraid that he is not in the Kingdom of Jin but somewhere else in order to keep the world from being chaotic. Make something happen." Shen Haolin sighed, "I think if he will cause commotion, it may be at sea."

"Yes!" Shen Cha also nodded, "This is why we are anxious to decipher this chart. When we take care of Wanyan Qingmu and Wanyan Ping, someone must defend the southern border to prevent others from stealing their homes."
