Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2328 It Turns Out to be Hidden Here 24.0

When Song Qiyun left the border, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian did not go to see him off. They just gave the things they had prepared to Song Qiyun when they were at the mansion and checked whether he had brought all his luggage.

Shen Cha stuffed a few specially made cigarettes into Ying Qi's pocket and told him to light the cigarettes in an emergency and reinforcements would arrive soon.

Jin Miaomiao avoided Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, and under the cover of Shen Cha, she secretly stuffed a bottle of detoxification pills into Song Qiyun's body, and also stuffed a small bottle of poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood.

"Sister Miaomiao?" Song Qiyun looked at the small red porcelain bottle that was stuffed into his hand, and looked at Jin Miaomiao in confusion, "What is this?"

"It can save your life." Jin Miaomiao leaned close to Song Qiyun's ear and whispered, "Whether you take it orally or apply it externally, this thing will take effect quickly. But remember, don't use it until the critical moment, and when you use it, be sure to avoid getting hurt. Understand?"

"I see." Song Qiyun nodded, "For external use on wounds?"

"Smart kid!"

"There is another question." Song Qiyun looked at Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian who were instructing Ying Qi, "Why are we speaking so quietly? Didn't you tell the two brothers?"

"I told you they won't let you bring it. They're worried that you might get in danger if you don't use it properly." Jin Miaomiao made a "hush" gesture and winked at Song Qiyun. "Be careful. If you get poisoned by accident, take the detoxification pill right away. Got it?"

"Okay, I understand. I will be very careful."

"Good boy!" Jin Miaomiao touched Song Qiyun's head. "On the way, eat when it's time to eat, rest when it's time to rest, and sleep when it's time to sleep. Don't make yourself suffer. We're not in a hurry to travel. It's okay when we're almost there."

"Yes, I will. I will never let myself down."

"That's good."

Song Qiyun and Ying Qi packed up the things given by their sister and brother, bowed to a few people, and left the Duke's Mansion with Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu who were going to see them off.

Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu took a day off yesterday to send Song Qiyun and Ying Qi out of the city, and they walked about ten miles forward until they could no longer walk them, and then they reluctantly parted.

Before they parted, Xia Jiu grabbed Ying Qi's arm and said that he would leave Song Qiyun to him, and asked him to remember that no matter what happened, saving both of their lives was the first priority, and nothing else mattered.

After watching Song Qiyun and Ying Qi's backs getting farther and farther away until they could no longer see them, Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu rode their horses back to the city. Before they reached the city gate, they saw Shen Cha and Merlin waiting there.

"My sister said she would not come to see me off, but I was still worried, so I came secretly."

"Hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, we already know that!"

Shen Jiu sighed softly, jumped off the horse, handed the horse to the accompanying guard, and walked to Shen Cha with Xia Jiu.

"elder sister!"

"Xiao Yun has been sent away?" Shen Cha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his two younger brothers nod, "That's good, you guys have worked hard too!"

"Sister said she wouldn't come to see you off, but she came anyway." Xia Jiu looked at Shen Cha, "You're still reluctant to let me go, right?"

Shen Cha reached out and pinched Xia Jiu's face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "I really can't bear to let Xiao Yun go, how about you take his place?"

"Sister, you can't bear to leave me, right?"

Xia Jiu winked at Shen Jiu, and Shen Jiu rolled his eyes at him, expressing his deep disgust for his rogue behavior.

"Sister, look at Xiaojiu, he despises me!"

"Look at you like this, how can you not be disliked?" Merlin raised an eyebrow at Xia Jiu, "My little prince, since you were a child, you have been disliked whenever you act like a spoiled child, but you never get tired of it, right?"

"Of course!" Xia Jiu looked at Shen Cha, then at Meilin, "Sister and Sister Xiaolin are waiting here not just for Xiaoyun, right? Is there anything else you need your brothers to help with?"

"Why are you so obedient?" Shen Cha patted Xia Jiu who was swaying back and forth while hugging his arm, and then looked at Shen Jiu, "Let's not talk about whether to serve or not. Are you two hungry? You didn't eat well this morning. Let's go to Second Grandpa's place and have a meal?"

"Hungry!" Xia Jiu touched his flat stomach, "Will Second Grandpa dislike us for going to eat so early?"

"No, I've just sent someone to say hello to Second Grandpa, we can just go over there."

"Wait a minute." Xia Jiu looked at Shen Jiu. The two children crossed their arms and squinted at Shen Cha. "From what your sister said, it seems like this has been planned for a long time. You should tell me what your plan is and what you want your brothers to do. Otherwise, this meal will not be very enjoyable."

"What if I say I will sell you to Qi Bo once you have eaten and drunk your fill?"

"We're more than happy to do that." Xia Jiu leaned over and said with a playful smile, "But are you willing to sell off such a cute, capable, and obedient brother of ours?"

"Poof!" Merlin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Xia Jiu looking at him aggrievedly, he covered his face with his hands, trying not to laugh out loud.

"Where did you learn such a smooth talk?" Shen Cha reached out and knocked on Xia Jiu's forehead twice, saying, "I won't really sell you. I'll just feed you and let you do the hard labor for me!"

"Work as a laborer?" The two were stunned. "Where are you going?"

"Follow me to the old house after dinner."

"Still going?" Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu looked at each other, and looked at Shen Cha in confusion, "Didn't you find nothing?"

"You'll only go if you haven't found it." Shen Cha said, winking at Merlin, "If you find it, then you won't go."

"Oh, that makes sense!"

Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu saw the flirting between Shen Cha and Mei Lin, and they more or less understood what it meant. The two of them looked around vigilantly and found some clues.

They were now at a small tea stall at the city gate. In addition to them, there were three or four shifty-looking guys sitting at the tea stall. On the surface, they seemed to be drinking tea, but in fact, they would glance at them from time to time. "It's getting late, let's go get some food!" Xia Jiu was the first to react. He pulled Shen Cha up and asked the guards to send their horses back to the camp. "Go back and tell the two brothers that we will go back to eat tonight. I want to eat soaked rice with big pieces of meat."

"My young prince, you haven't even had lunch yet, and you're already thinking about dinner?"

Merlin turned around and followed a few people out of the tea stall. When he passed by those shifty guys, he slowed down a little, looked at them casually, saw what he wanted to see, and left with satisfaction.

"How is it?" Shen Cha glanced at Merlin who was walking beside him and asked in a low voice, "Did you see it?"

"I saw it. They are the same ones we caught." Merlin sighed softly, looking somewhat helpless. "They really are not giving up at all. They have to find that batch of stuff."

"I understand." Shen Cha returned the greetings to the people who greeted her on the road and continued to whisper to Merlin, "They think those are their property. After all, those two people took them out of the tomb secretly."

"That's true, but." Merlin sighed, "They didn't care about this matter for so many years, but now they actually remembered to look for it. It seems that we have indeed cut off a very important source of income for them by destroying the Ning, Luan, and Liu families."

"Hmm!" Shen Cha looked at Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu who were following him. Seeing that they were looking behind him very vigilantly, he reached out and pulled them. "How is it? Are you catching up?"

"Yes, they didn't follow very closely. It seems that they didn't know that we had discovered them."

"They are eager to find something, so they naturally won't have any other ideas." Shen Cha smiled and led everyone into Mr. Jiang's teahouse. He gestured to Xiao Liuzi who came out to greet them, "Tell your people to catch the guys following behind. Move quickly and make less noise."

"Yes!"

"After you capture him, send him directly to the dungeon and hand him over to my second brother." Shen Cha looked at Xiao Liuzi, "Be secretive."

"Don't worry, boss!"

Xiao Liuzi responded and first led Shen Cha and the others to the private room, then asked the waiter to help greet them. He then blew a whistle, gathered the shadows in the teahouse, and according to Shen Cha's instructions, quietly captured the guys who were following them.

Xia Jiu dragged Shen Jiu into the box, looked around, and asked, "Where is the Second Master?"

"General, the second master is busy and will be here soon." The waiter saluted a few people and walked to Shen Cha respectfully, "General, is it still the old rules?"

"Let them order." Shen Cha raised his chin towards Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu, "Let them order what they like."

"Yes!" The waiter turned and looked at them. "Two young generals, what would you like to eat?"

Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu studied it for a while and ordered a fish, a plate of shrimps, two vegetables, two soup noodles and buns. They also wanted to order some snacks, but were stopped by Merlin.

"Take it easy, you two. Lao Tang saw us just now and he will probably send some more braised food over soon." She patted the two of them, "By then, you two will be too full to eat, so you won't have to eat tonight."

"No way!" Xia Jiu was persuaded by Merlin and smiled at the waiter, "That's all for now. Then serve us a pot of milk tea."

"Yes!"

The waiter responded, bowed slightly, took two steps back, and left the box.

Merlin walked over, listened carefully to the noise outside, and nodded to Shen Cha.

"Sister, are you just going to arrest them like this?" Shen Jiu sat next to Shen Cha and looked at her curiously, "What if they have accomplices?"

"I'm not afraid that they have it, I'm afraid that they don't." Shen Cha sneered, "If there are still accomplices, Second Brother's plan can go smoothly."

"Second brother?" Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu exchanged glances. Both of them had expressions that were hard to describe. "His plans have always been very torturous. Now that these people have fallen into the hands of the second brother, I can only wish them good luck."

"They traveled thousands of miles and took the trouble to come here just to find what those two people hid." Xia Jiu touched his chin, pulled Merlin to sit at the table, and said, "It seems impossible, right?"

"Of course it's not just that. They didn't tell the truth, but there's no rush." ​​Shen Cha smiled, "We already have the people in our hands. Are we afraid that we won't be able to get the truth out of them?"

"That's true." Xia Jiu nodded, "I have a very bold idea, but I don't know if I should tell you about it."

"Don't worry, just speak!"

"I wonder if Master Falian already knows that Wanyan Xi is going to go back to seize the throne, so he sent people to ambush here, hoping to..." He made a gesture of cutting his own throat, "In this case, no one will compete with Wanyan Qingmu, and we just need to kill Wanyan Ping later."

"But Wanyan Qingmu has stopped cooperating with him and has disappeared without a trace." Shen Cha sneered, "If I were Master Falian, I should have called back those spies at this time, rested and recuperated, and regrouped when the time was right, instead of being in a hurry to make enemies and expose myself like now."

"If he does this." Shen Jiu thought for a while, "Sister, could it be..."

"What is it?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "I'm dying soon?"

"Yes!" Shen Jiu nodded, "That's what I mean, but is it possible? His situation should be the same as Senior Tan Tai and his two great uncles. Senior Tan Tai and his two great uncles are still full of energy, so he shouldn't die so young, right?"

"Your idea is quite interesting." Shen Cha smiled at Shen Jiu, poured him a cup of tea, and looked at Xia Jiu and Mei Lin. "We seem to have never thought about this, right?"

"Yes!" Merlin nodded. "We have always believed that if we take the pill, we might live a long time. After all, they have lived for so long. When we are gone, they might still be here. So, no one has ever considered that they might die like us."

"Yes." Shen Cha touched his chin, holding his cheek with one hand and tapping the table with the other hand. "If he had not died soon, Master Falian would not have been so anxious to fulfill his wish. He knew very well that taking things slow was what he should do most now, but..."

"He can't wait any longer. He knows that he doesn't have much time left, so he wants to try his best." Merlin patted Shen Jiu, "That's a good idea. If that's really the case, then Xiao Jiu has done a great job."

"I'm just providing an idea. Sister and Xiaolin need to find out what's going on." Shen Jiu smiled embarrassedly, "But do you think Second Grandpa knows something?"

"Know what?" The door of the box was opened at this time, and Mr. Jiang walked in, fanning himself. "What do you want to ask me?"
