Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2352 Bring a Message 14.0

Shen Cha led Jin Miaomiao, Ying Er and the others out of a secret door in the east wing. After going out, they walked through a very hidden corridor and arrived at the backyard without anyone noticing.

"I've been here so many times, but I didn't know there was another cave here." Jin Miaomiao looked around and said softly, "I didn't even find it during the day."

"If the secret passage is discovered, what's the point of calling it a secret passage?" Shen Cha smiled. "It's actually very similar to the structure of the Marquis' Mansion, isn't it?"

"Well, I have that idea, but it's still not as good as the Marquis' Mansion." Jin Miaomiao tugged at Shen Cha's sleeve, "How do we get there?"

"This way."

Shen Cha pointed to a rockery not far away. The rockery looked particularly abrupt, standing alone not far away.

"This is."

"follow me!"

Shen Cha led everyone and tiptoed towards the rockery. The rockery had long been empty, forming a stone cave. They stood at the entrance of the cave and looked as far as they could see, with no end in sight.

"Light the tinder."

Everyone followed Shen Cha's order and lit the tinder. Meilin and Hongye walked in the front, Ying Er stayed with Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, and the remaining shadows were responsible for the rear.

The cave was very large. It took them about half a cup of tea to walk from one end of the cave to the other. To everyone's surprise, the exit of the cave was actually the secret door of the main hall in the front yard. They passed through this secret door and entered the main hall without anyone noticing.

The killer who stayed in the main room had no time to react before his jaw was removed, his back teeth that could hide poison sacs were broken, and even his arm was dislocated.

By the time they reacted and wanted to sound the alarm, their mouths had been blocked, their hands and feet had been tied up, and they were thrown aside like garbage without any resistance.

Ying Er quietly opened the window on one side, looked out, counted the number of people, then silently closed the window and walked to Shen Cha's side.

"With these four inside, the number of people is just right."

Shen Cha nodded and raised his hand slightly. Several shadows rushed over and stripped the shirts of the four assassins clean.

The assassins were completely confused. They had no idea what this group of people were doing and why they were stripping their clothes right away. However, their mouths were blocked, and their hands and feet were tied. They could only let themselves be bullied and had no ability to resist.

Shen Cha walked to the window, opened half of it and looked at what was happening outside.

With the help of moonlight and the light of torches around, Shen Cha could clearly see the appearance of the people surrounded in the middle. The leader was indeed their acquaintance, Yan You, the man Wanyan Qingmu once relied on the most and whom they jokingly called the Moon Head.

At this moment, Yanyou, who used to have the final say around Wanyan Qingmu, was surrounded by his so-called people and was being pressed step by step by them. He looked very embarrassed and had completely lost his former arrogance.

"Boss" Ying Er came over and whispered, "What should we do?"

Shen Cha gave the observation position to Ying Er, then walked aside and smiled at him.

"We will sit back and watch the fight, and when they start fighting thoroughly and both sides are exhausted, we will catch them all in one fell swoop." She looked at Jin Miaomiao, Meilin and Hongye who were listening attentively, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "What did you hear?"

"The Moon-headed man is scolding the two groups for not working hard, and the two groups are accusing him of taking chicken feathers as a token of authority." Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "This Master Falian is not very good at learning the art of emperorship. Although it is important to have checks and balances, it is also impossible to let these forces fight each other. As the head of the family, he must come forward to mediate. But looking at what is happening before his eyes, not only will he not mediate, I am afraid he will openly or covertly instigate, making them even more at odds with each other."

"He was sent to be a monk since he was young. How could he learn the art of checks and balances?" Shen Cha sneered. When he heard that a fight had broken out outside because no one was willing to submit to the other, he walked over to Ying Er and took a look.

As expected, the people who came to grab the boxes and prepare to provide support had already begun to besiege Yanyou and his men. Yanyou and his men were not good at martial arts, and they were quickly beaten back. Several of them were injured to varying degrees.

"Boss?"

"No rush, just wait."

After fighting for another seven or eight rounds outside, Yanyou was accidentally stabbed above his heart by a killer's dagger. In order to save him, his men were stabbed by two swords at the same time and fell in front of Yanyou.

Yanyou was enraged when he saw his confidant die in front of him. He ignored his own pain and directly hacked the owners of the two swords to death. Then, like a madman, he indiscriminately injured all the people who besieged him.

Seeing this, Shen Cha nodded to Ying Er, gestured to Merlin and Hongye, and watched them take a few shadows, kick open the door of the main room, and rush directly towards the two sides who were fighting fiercely.

The two sides who were fighting in full swing were frightened by Cheng Yaojin's sudden attack. Before they could react, they instinctively turned their knives around and started fighting with the opponent. However, after the real fighting, they discovered that their opponents were actually members of the Shen family army.

Especially after seeing the appearance of several people who joined the battle, they became even more scared, especially Yanyou, who had suffered countless losses at the hands of Shen Cha. When he saw Merlin, he shuddered instinctively and almost dropped the scimitar in his hand.

"Master Yanyou, this is a battlefield, you must hold the knife steady."

Merlin sneered, looked at the wound on Yanyou's chest, and without thinking, stabbed the sword in his hand directly towards the wound.

Yanyou quickly took two steps back, but unexpectedly he was tripped by his subordinate who had fallen to the ground earlier and fell heavily to the ground.

He wanted to get up, but when he fell, he clearly heard a cracking sound from his right ankle. His face turned pale with pain, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone continue fighting with Merlin.

Seeing Yanyou like this, Merlin rushed over and kicked Yanyou, and also stomped hard on his wound.

Yanyou couldn't bear the severe pain and fainted.

There were no surprises with the remaining killers and Yanyou's men. They were no match for these men and were quickly captured. Some of them wanted to commit suicide but had their jaws crushed, while others, like Yanyou, fainted due to severe injuries.

Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao stood at the door of the main room, looked at the killer lying on the ground, and sighed softly.

"Who are you going to let go?"

"Of course he is our old friend." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow at Jin Miaomiao. "Comparatively speaking, he is still the most useful to Master Falian, isn't he?"

"Yes, other people can be replaced, but him..." Jin Miaomiao shook her head gently, "No."

"If my guess is correct, he should have come directly from Yiqing Prefecture and has not had time to go back to discuss Wanyan Qingmu's betrayal with Master Falian."

"So, you mean to give him a push?"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded gently, "He's not going to survive anyway, so why not make the best use of him!"
