Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2205 Night Market 2.0

Shen Cha didn't know what Hei Lu'er, Zhen Buhui and the shopkeeper were talking about, but even if he knew, he didn't really care.

Just like Hei Luer said, for her, no, to be precise, for the entire Daxia, whether it is the Jin Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, the Wanyan clan, the Yelu clan, or even the Xiao clan, any of them It doesn't really matter if one person becomes king, there is no difference. As long as they can cooperate and not break their alliances and backstab their allies, that is the most important thing.

However, speaking of the Xiao family, Xiao Fengqi seems to have disappeared in recent times. The people she arranged for in the Liao Kingdom did not return any news related to the Xiao family and Xiao Fengqi during this period.

Shen Cha touched his chin, there must be a demon if something goes wrong. Although the Xiao family is now seriously injured, after all, it was once the first family in the Liao Kingdom. Even the Yelu family had to succumb to the Xiao family in the past many years. , such a behemoth, even if it is destroyed on the surface, cannot easily shake its foundation. She absolutely does not believe that Xiao Fengqi is now alone.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Haolin held Shen Cha's hand and wandered slowly in the night market. There was only Mei Lin with them. Xue Ruitian and Jin Miaomiao had already dragged Jin Jing and Ying Wu to watch the excitement.

"I just suddenly thought of Xiao Fengqi. I haven't heard from him for a long time."

Walking side by side with Shen Haolin on the street, Shen Cha nodded in return to the people who greeted them, and by the way refused the snacks sent by some vendors.

Although life at the border is getting better now, these small traders earn hard-earned money. They leave early and come back late, and they can't earn many copper coins a day. If they accept their things, they will really feel uneasy.

"Didn't news come back that he was at Qilin Pass?"

Shen Haolin took the candied fruit from a vendor and handed him ten copper coins. The vendor originally wanted to refuse, but Mei Lin held his hand down and could only look at their prince and general. Farther.

"Brother, do you believe that he will stay at Qilin Pass honestly? Qilin Pass is the traditional sphere of influence of the Qi family and the Yelv family. The several generals guarding the pass and the deputy generals around them are all members of the Yelv family and the Qi family. Although On the surface, the Xiao family has no harm to the Yelv family, but Xiao Fengqi's life in Qilin Pass will not be easy." Shen Cha took a candied fruit from the oil paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth, "Although the Xiao family has fallen, But what kind of person is Xiao Fengqi? My brother should know that he is not someone who can suffer a loss."

"If a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog, even if he doesn't want to suffer a loss, he may not get any benefits if he falls into the hands of those at Qilin Pass. If it's a head-on confrontation, he will be the one who suffers." Shen Haolin looked at the stalls on the left and right and found that There were a lot more people selling drinks, so I was very curious, "I saw that shopkeeper He and Miaomiao's drink stall was very popular, so why do you do all these?"

"Probably so." Shen Cha smiled, "I just got Miao Miao's formula from the shopkeeper. Even if the whole city is trying to imitate it, I still can't get the essence of it. In the end, I either have to cooperate with the shopkeeper. Or you have to give up this business, right?"

"That's right." Shen Haolin nodded. Seeing the children chasing after him, he quickly pulled Shen Cha and said, "Be careful."

Shen Cha looked at the children running past where he was just now, smiled lightly, and continued walking forward with Shen Haolin.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Children today are very happy, aren't they? When we were young, we didn't dare to run around on the street. It makes me happy to see how lively this place has become, right?" Shen Cha stopped and said He turned back and looked at the children running and jumping on the street. He pulled Shen Haolin and continued to walk forward. He took a few candied fruits and stuffed them into Merlin's mouth. "Is it delicious?" "Yes, it's delicious." ." Merlin nodded, "It's just a little bit sour, which suits my taste."

"I knew you'd like it."

The three of them walked forward for a while, reaching a place with few people, before Shen Cha continued the topic.

"However, although the people in Qilin Pass may look down on Xiao Fengqi, they really don't dare to do anything to him. At most, they just ignore him and don't let him care about anything. They don't let him get involved in anything. At most, they just In this way, isolate him and let him retreat. But..." Shen Cha thought for a while and shook his head gently, "He is not the type to retreat when the difficulties are encountered. He must find ways to get out of this predicament. "

"But those of us in Qilin Pass don't have access to these." Merlin looked at Shen Cha with regret, "Our original purpose was just to explore the trends in Qilin Pass, and we had no other purpose, so..."

"I know, I don't care much about what Xiao Fengqi did in Qilin Pass, or whether he is in Qilin Pass or not. It's just..."

"It's just that there is no movement from him, you will feel strange, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Shen Haolin sighed and said, "But, he is not in Linhuang Mansion, nor in Qilin Pass, where could he be?"

"If it's really not at Qilin Pass, it's most likely at Baihu Pass."

"Baihu Pass?" Shen Haolin stretched out his hand to protect Shen Cha and let a few children who were in a ball pass, then pulled Shen Cha forward and continued, "Yes, this is the only place he can go. "

"That's what I said."

Shen Cha looked at a stall selling herbal tea next to him and winked at Mei Lin. Mei Lin ran over and bought two small cups, one for himself and the other for Shen Haolin.

Shen Haolin watched Shen Cha drink less than half the cup, and then stopped her from drinking any more, lest she would have an upset stomach at night.

"Brother, don't worry, I know how to moisten your throat." Shen Cha watched Shen Haolin drink the rest of the herbal tea before continuing, "Although the Xiao family has not been in charge of troops for many years, their power is in the country bordering the Jin Kingdom. Baihu Pass, the current guard of Baihu Pass, Yan Qian, can be said to be a die-hard loyalist of the Xiao family. Their loyalty is not to the Yelu family, but to the Xiao family. "

"To be precise, the Yanqian clan is the private slaves and private soldiers of the Xiao family. If it were not for Xiao's recommendation, even if they have outstanding military exploits, they would not be able to guard one side. In the hearts of the Yanqian clan, without the Xiao family, there would be no them. Glory now." Merlin sighed and said, "Anyone can betray the Xiao family, but they can't."

"I remember" Shen Cha thought for a while, looked at Mei Lin and then at Shen Haolin, "Mrs. Yan Qian is Xiao Fengqi's cousin?"

"Yes, barely." Mei Lin waved to Xue Ruitian and others who were walking towards them in front, "Although his wife's status is not high, she is indeed Xiao Fengqi's cousin in terms of seniority. If Xiao Fengqi wants to go, Baihu Pass must be the best choice."
