Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2345 Bring a Message 7.0

After Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu took their soldiers to leave the street and the blockade was lifted, everyone could come and go freely. After a long time, they received news from the stalking Shadow that the assassins from the Qinglian Sect were slowly approaching the old house. After everyone discussed it, they walked out of the old house carrying the black iron box.

In order to make it easier for the group to snatch the box, Shen Haolin specifically handed the box to his accompanying Shadow, and told him that if someone came to snatch it, he should not resist at all, but just drop the box and run away.

Although the shadow felt that it was not a good idea to drop the box and run away without resistance, in order not to disrupt the plans of the Duke and the boss, he had to follow orders.

"Okay, when we go to arrest people after this is done, we will definitely take you with us." Xue Ruitian patted Shadow's shoulder, "You will definitely be able to vent all the grievances you have suffered now."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Shadow nodded, smiled at Xue Ruitian, then turned to look at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Thank you, Lord Duke and Boss too!"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha didn't say anything. They looked at each other with Xue Ruitian, Jin Miaomiao and Hongye, and at the same time, they tidied their clothes and walked out of the old house slowly.

Not long after they left the old house, they felt someone following them. They exchanged glances calmly and a smug smile flashed across their faces at the same time.

"Xiaocha came here on a whim, but unexpectedly got an unexpected reward."

Xue Ruitian yawned, stretched, and deliberately twisted his neck. He pretended to glance behind him casually and found that there were indeed a few sneaky figures following them not far away. He turned around and nodded to the other people.

"Yeah, we don't know what's in this box. We'll have to find someone capable to help us open it. If it's something good, then we're really lucky." Shen Cha smiled at Xue Ruitian, then looked at the crowds of people in front of him and frowned slightly, "Why are there so many people on this street today? Is there a market going on?"

"You don't know, compared to the West Market, the shops on this street are good quality and cheap, many people prefer to come here to eat, drink and have fun." Jin Miaomiao hooked her arm around Shen Cha's shoulder and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, just take Lao Tang's braised goods, if they are sold here, they will be nearly 20% cheaper than in the West Market. For example, he sells a pound of braised duck tongue for ten coins in the West Market, but here it's only five or six coins, no more than seven coins, and no one will buy it if it's higher. Also, those Hu merchants that are common in the West Market are almost never seen here."

"That's for sure. The things sold by the Hu people are not cheap. Moreover, they have fixed places to do business and set up stalls. They can't just go anywhere." Shen Cha looked at the crowd in front and whispered, "Why don't we take a shortcut? With so many people, it's not easy for them to attack. Since we want to lure them out, we have to give them a chance to attack, right?"

"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded, looked around, and pointed to the front left, "There are fewer people over there, let's go there!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say, brother."

Shen Cha looked at the road chosen by Shen Haolin and couldn't help but smile. It was a shortcut leading to the Duke's Mansion, and few people walked there on weekdays, so it was a suitable place to set up the trap.

In order to allow the group to follow, the group did not walk particularly fast. They just walked forward slowly and turned directly into the target street.

The killers following behind them were already troubled by the fact that there were too many people on the street, making it inconvenient for them to take action. As a result, the people from the Shen family army walked into a secluded street, which was exactly what they wanted. A few of them followed them and discussed in a low voice, and decided to wait until they were in the middle of the street before taking action.

Although the Shen family army was well-known, they had more people and would surely hit the target with one strike and get what they wanted. Shen Haolin and Shen Cha didn't know what these killers were planning, but they knew that they had set up a trap and were waiting for them to fall into their trap. They couldn't help but speed up their pace, but outsiders couldn't see it at all.

After entering the street and walking for about half a cup of tea, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian exchanged glances and nodded to each other. They all felt that the time had come and they might take action.

Sure enough, before they were halfway through the alley, they felt a gust of wind passing over their heads. When they came to their senses, a group of men in black had surrounded them.

Shen Cha looked at the person in front of him curiously, then looked at the people standing on the roofs around him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Come to think of it, haven't we been surrounded like this for a long time?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin, looked around curiously, and shook his head slightly, "It looks quite like that!"

"Indeed." Jin Miaomiao and Xue Ruitian echoed each other, raising their chins towards the people opposite them, "Who are you? Do you know who we are? How many heads do you have on your necks if you dare to stop us?"

The people on the opposite side didn't answer at all. The leader made a gesture, and the killers rushed over with knives in hand. Those on the roof also jumped down and surrounded them.

Seeing this situation, Shen Cha raised his hand gently, and a group of people reappeared on the roof where the killer was just now. They were the Shadows under Shen Cha's command.

However, Shen Cha made several gestures in a row, meaning to take it easy and not work so hard.

Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian protected Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao to a safe corner. Hongye led a few shadows in front to block them, so the killers could not get close to them at all. The killers were not targeting them, but went straight to the shadow holding the black iron box.

The shadow remembered Shen Cha's previous instructions. Although he pretended to deal with them and looked like he was trying his best, when he was besieged by more than a dozen people, he still threw the black iron box as far as he could and almost hit a killer on the head.

When the killers saw the box being thrown out, they had no intention of fighting and quickly picked up the box and ran away. In a short while, they were all gone.

"Wow, they run really fast!" Xue Ruitian looked at the direction they were running, then looked at Shen Cha, "Have our people caught up?"

"Of course, we will not let them escape from our control." Shen Cha sneered and saw the shadow walking in front of him. "You performed very well. I will give you an extra meal tonight."

"Boss, adding food is not important. What's important is, when can we deal with those people?"

"Don't worry." Shen Cha looked at the direction where the killers ran away. "Wait until the people who are watching them give us information, then we can catch them all in one fell swoop, right?"
