Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2247 Another Truth 8.0

After hearing what Xiao Fengqi said, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other and finally put their minds at ease.

Although they currently have a cooperative relationship with the Yelu brothers, based on their understanding of the Liao people, they still have to be somewhat cautious, lest they stab them in the back when things are going well.

However, it seems that this situation will not happen now. We are all victims and will definitely share the same hatred for the enemy.

However, they had never expected that the Xiao family would be infiltrated by the Qinglian Sect. This was not much different from the people in Xijing City. They all put their own interests first. Now think about it, those people in Jiangnan who sold contraband salt and ironware to Liao and Jin were basically the same as the Xiao family members who did business with the Qinglian Sect.

While chewing his beef cubes, Qi Zhifeng looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha opposite him, and then at Xiao Fengqi beside him, with a faint smile on his face. He really wanted to see which of the two would lose his patience and speak first.

Although he is the leader of this team and his grandfather is an elder, it is, after all, a private matter between the elders of the Xiao family and other families. As outsiders, it is completely inconvenient for them to intervene. Only the younger generations of both parties can truly solve it. Therefore, they just need to wait quietly and don't have to worry at all. Just wait and see. I believe that they will not have any major conflicts.

Jin Miaomiao and Qi Zhifeng had the same thought and their reactions were similar. They were both eating while observing the other party's reactions. Seeing Xiao Fengqi eating the food on the table in a disinterested manner, he reached out and pulled Shen Cha next to him.

"Look!" she said in a low voice, "this guy has been absent-minded since the beginning!"

"I haven't slept all night, and I have something on my mind, but I can't say it right away. It's not that I feel uncomfortable, it would be strange if I can have an appetite." Shen Cha chuckled and said, "Forget it, we have to wait until after dinner to talk about anything. Talking about this during a meal is more likely to cause indigestion, right?"

"I know this." Jin Miaomiao glanced at Xiao Fengqi again, then turned to look at Qi Zhifeng who looked like a little squirrel, and couldn't help laughing, "Do you like this beef cube so much?"

"Yeah!" Qi Zhifeng nodded. "My chef always makes beef cubes that are hard and tough, and beef shreds that get stuck in your teeth and not very tasty. This is different. It's soft and tender, and very tasty. Most importantly, it doesn't get stuck in your teeth!" He picked up another piece. "I'm most afraid of getting stuck in my teeth!"

"Isn't this easy?" Jin Miaomiao smiled. "I'll write down the recipe for you later. You can give it to your family's cook and follow it. It will definitely be right."

"Really?" Seeing Jin Miaomiao nod, Qi Zhifeng slapped the table and said, "That's great. We need our chef to be more careful. Such good ingredients cannot be ruined."

"Take your time. No one can cook delicious food in one go, right?" Jin Miaomiao glanced at Shen Haolin, who had picked out all the fish bones and placed the clean fish meat on Shen Cha's plate. Then she looked at the fish on the table opposite her, which had not been touched at all. She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't you like fish?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I just don't like picking bones. I always get stuck." Qi Zhifeng looked at the fish and pushed it aside. "Although it looks delicious, I won't take the risk."

"It's okay. We have people who can pick out the bones for you." Jin Miaomiao waved at Meilin, "Take it over and have them remove the fish bones. If it's cold, you can reheat it."

Merlin nodded, put the three plates of fish back into the food boxes, and sent them back to the kitchen for them to reprocess.

"Thank you, Sister Miaomiao."

"I wanted to ask this before, is Xiao Qi always so sweet to everyone?" Jin Miaomiao clicked her tongue twice and pointed at Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu, "You should have a good conversation with these two guys, they are not as sweet as you."

"Of course not, I'm only this sweet to the people I like." Qi Zhifeng looked at Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu, smiled at them, "I like you two brothers, too." "Hey, that's wrong." Xia Jiu looked at the untouched beef cubes on his table, smiled, stood up and walked over, put the plate of beef cubes on Qi Zhifeng's table, "It's right to call me brother, but Xiaojiu is one year younger than you, so he should be your younger brother."

"Really?" Qi Zhifeng smiled at Xia Jiu, "That's great, there's finally someone younger than me, I can be your brother." He looked at Shen Jiu, "Brother, I'll protect you from now on, if there's anything you can't do, just come to me."

"Okay!" Shen Jiu looked at Qi Zhifeng and agreed immediately.

Speaking of which, among all the Liao people he had dealt with, his favorite person was Qi Zhifeng, because they were of similar age and could talk to each other, and most importantly, there was no clear interest involved between them, at least not now.

The Third Master looked at the children in the room who were all getting along happily, and nodded with satisfaction. He didn't have any other wishes now, he just hoped that these children could be successful, and at least get along well with each other while he was still alive.

"I have a question that I would like to ask Uncle Shi."

"Ask!" The Third Master nodded, ate a piece of fried barbecued meat, and raised his chin towards them. "What do you want to ask?"

Shen Haolin looked at his younger brothers who were playing together and had put their tables together, and winked at Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian.

"I want to ask what the current situation is for King Yelu? Is there really no way?"

"We'll try to maintain the status quo as much as possible. There's no better way." The Third Master shook his head gently. "As for how long it can last, that depends on his luck. However, his luck has always been tough, so there's no need to worry. But..."

"But?" Shen Cha thought for a moment, "There aren't many people in Yiqing Mansion who support them?"

"Not a few, almost half, but the most critical ones are still neutral." The Third Master looked at Qi Zhifeng who was playing with Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu, "It's just that his family and the Xiao family are openly supporting them, while the others are still waiting and watching. If their performance is really beyond imagination, then the position is secure."

"I see. The situation isn't particularly difficult, but it's not particularly good either."

"Their situation depends on you. I still hope you can succeed."

"Okay!" Shen Cha nodded, "Are they both okay?"

"They are in pretty good shape." The Third Master chuckled. "Don't worry about them. Just go ahead and do it. There is nothing wrong as long as you do it."

Several people said nothing, but just nodded silently.
