Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2278 Just Wait

Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, then at Merlin who nodded silently, and chuckled.

"Didn't you hear what your boss meant?"

"I've heard it, Duke. What the boss meant is that Master Falian's people are already in the city." Merlin thought for a moment. "In recent days, in addition to Master Qi and his people, there seem to be several foreign merchant caravans coming to the city. Among them, three groups of people look similar to the group today." She looked at Shen Cha. "When the boss left the dungeon just now, he should have told the second and fourth brothers about this matter, asking them to investigate these merchant caravans, right?"

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded. "In fact, there is no need to investigate too carefully. Just keep an eye on these caravans. There is no need to interfere with their travels. They don't come to the city to do business. They just come out to check out the local area every time."

"That's what the boss said."

Merlin nodded and was about to say something when she saw Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing, Shen Jiu, Xia Jiu and Song Qiyun rushing over. She quickly stood up and saluted them.

"What happened?" Xue Ruitian sat down next to Shen Haolin. "I heard something happened in the dungeon?"

"Sister!" Shen Jiu and Song Qiyun rushed to Shen Cha and looked her up and down. "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. My brother and I just watched the fun and didn't participate in it." Shen Cha patted Shen Jiu, comforted Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu, asked them to sit down, looked at Jin Jing sitting next to him, smiled, and said, "They are just pawns. Even if they participate, we won't suffer any loss, right?"

"We know you won't suffer any loss, and that's not what we're worried about." Jin Jing looked at the table and poured tea for everyone. "Why did an assassin suddenly appear? And he ran into the dungeon and made trouble?"

"Brother Xiaotian and Brother Xiaojing are so smart, why don't we try to guess?" Shen Cha picked a few snacks in front of him and stuffed them into the hands of his brothers, saying, "Why did they run to the dungeon?"

"Sure enough, they killed him to silence him!" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing looked at each other and said in unison, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"It must be intentional. If we don't let them succeed, how could Boss Luan lose his mind?" Shen Cha still felt bitter in his mouth. He reached out and took another candied fruit to eat. "But even so, he still hasn't let go. He doesn't believe that his master will kill him to silence him. He still refuses to tell us the truth. In this case, we don't have to stop those killers. Let Boss Luan see what position he holds in his master's heart."

"Well said." Jin Jing nodded. "Whether he is a loyal minister or a discarded chess piece, we will know the answer soon."

"The assassination attempt just now failed. We don't know if there will be another assassination tonight. How about we take turns guarding the dungeon starting tonight and see when the next assassin will arrive?"

"I've already made arrangements for the dungeon, so you don't have to guard it. Of course, if you want to watch the fun, that's another matter."

"That's true. Anyway, Haolin and I have to be on duty today, so it's not a big deal to go and see what's going on." Xue Ruitian looked at his brothers who were also eager to try, "Forget about it, just stay and guard the camp!"

"Brother Xiaotian!" Song Qiyun snorted twice, "We also want to see the fun!"

"Xiaoyun, be careful of others trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Shen Cha patted Song Qiyun and said, "Who knows what this Master Falian is up to? What if he tries to catch the cicada while the oriole is behind us? Wouldn't we suffer a great loss?"

"Okay, then we'll guard the camp well." Song Qiyun nodded, "If they don't come, forget it, but if they do, we'll let them learn how powerful we are." "Of course, you're all the best!"

Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Cha'er's ability to deceive people with open eyes is really..." Shen Haolin chuckled and said in a low voice, "She is getting better and better."

"Well, she hasn't learned anything else from those old guys these days. She only knows how to fool people." Xue Ruitian felt something was wrong after he finished speaking, and sniffed hard, "I was just about to ask, what is this smell? Bitter?"

"What else could it taste like? It must be Xiaocha's medicine." Jin Jing looked at the snacks on the table. None of them were what he liked. He grabbed Shenjiu's Longjing pastry, took a bite, and said, "Miaomiao's new favorite recipe this morning. I didn't expect it to become more and more unpalatable." He looked at Shencha with admiration on his face, "It's a good thing you can drink it."

"My brother just said that good medicine tastes bitter, which is beneficial to me. In addition, this year is a critical year, and I must not give up all my previous efforts. Therefore, no matter how bitter the medicine tastes, I have to drink it."

"The Duke is right, but..." Jin Jing thought for a moment, "You can adjust the taste a little. It's not a big deal if it's always so bitter."

"Forget it. Miaomiao has so much to do every day, so I won't bother her anymore."

As Shen Cha spoke, she looked at Shen Haolin. She didn't know why, but she always felt that her brother's mood had been not very good since he had been alone with Xiao Fengqi for a while. He was a little depressed. She didn't know what Xiao Fengqi had said to make her brother so depressed.

Thinking of this, she turned around and glanced at Merlin, thinking that she had to find an opportunity to ask him privately what the two people had said.

Shen Haolin felt Shen Cha's inquiring gaze and saw her staring at Merlin for a long time. He sighed softly, hoping that Merlin could withstand his Cha'er's questioning!

"What's wrong?" Xue Ruitian moved closer to Shen Haolin, "You're not in a good mood, what happened?"

"Nothing." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, then Shen Jiu, and finally his gaze fell on Xue Ruitian. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "I just talked to Mr. Xiao before and found out some things."

Xue Ruitian followed Shen Haolin's gaze and immediately understood what he meant, and sighed softly.

"Is the situation not good?" He leaned close to Shen Haolin's ear and asked in a low voice, "Or something else?"

"Both." Shen Haolin patted Xue Ruitian, "Don't let them know."

"Since we can't let them know, I won't ask, lest they accidentally tell others, then."

Before Xue Ruitian could finish his words, he heard an unusual sound of wind above his head. He stood up suddenly and took a defensive posture. The next second, he saw Ying Wu and two shadows falling from the sky and landing steadily.

"Boss, we found the person!"
