Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2357 Bring a Message 19.0
"Now I understand what you meant by what you just said!" Hongye looked at Shen Cha, "It is indeed the real-life story of Mr. Dongguo and the snake. This story is not groundless, but really happened and was known by people. That's why it was written into a story to warn future generations."

"That's right, Mr. Dongguo and the snake, Ye Pan and Yan You are all typical examples of being ungrateful." Shen Cha spread his hands helplessly, "After being rescued, they bite back and even take the benefactor's name. This is probably the cruelest way to repay a favor."

"No wonder Old Ye becomes uncomfortable when Yanyou is mentioned, and looks like he wants to eat someone."

"He doesn't mean to eat people, but he just can't imagine how his brother, who was once a delicate and innocent boy, could become like this now."

"If he had known it would be like this, he probably wouldn't have saved him back then, right?" Hongye curled her lips and said, "However, if it were me, I probably wouldn't have waited until today. The moment we met again, I would have found out that he was on the opposite side of me and wanted to kill me, so I would have tried every way to kill him. My principle is that since I saved your life, it belongs to me, and I can take it back whenever I want!"

"Listen to this, listen to this!" Jin Jing looked at Lu Shengyuan, raised her eyebrows at him, and said with a very proud look, "What did you say about me at the beginning? You said that my ideas were too extreme, that I was too extreme. But listen, everyone thinks so, doesn't they?"

Lu Shengyuan didn't say anything, just smiled at Jin Jing and continued drinking his tea.

"What's wrong?" Hongye raised an eyebrow, "Is there something wrong with this?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. I thought the same when I first learned about this, but Lao Lu insisted that I was too radical and he didn't agree with it."

"Old Lu is not wrong. It depends on how each person interprets it. If it was just ordinary ungratefulness, it would be fine. But this concerns the lives of myself and my colleagues. I will definitely not let it go lightly."

"But you forgot that they already serve different masters." Lu Shengyuan put down the cup and looked at Hongye. "Different positions will naturally lead to different actions. They will naturally choose the one who is beneficial to them and the one they are loyal to, right?"

"That's what I wanted to say just now." Hongye picked up a piece of dessert from the table and ate it while saying, "But the way of dealing with it can be flexible, right? If the other party is my savior, then I will definitely avoid him and will not have a head-on conflict. At least it won't be as ugly as it is now."

"Hey, Xiao Ye is right, that's what happened." Jin Jing raised her eyebrows at Lu Shengyuan and said, "You lose!"

"What Xiaoye said just now is right. Everyone has different ideas. There is no question of winning or losing." Lu Shengyuan smiled and looked at Hongye. "Why don't you change your clothes? Or take a shower? The blood on the clothes should be difficult to wash off, right?"

"Don't worry, this little trace can be cleaned up. I'm just too hungry and have no strength left. I'll go wash up after having a midnight snack." Hongye looked at the door of the big tent, "Why hasn't Miaomiao come back yet? I'm almost starving to death!"

"Have some snacks first. When I looked, they were just starting to get ready!"

"If it's freshly made, it's slow." Hongye took another piece of dessert and nibbled it, looking at Lu Shengyuan and said, "By the way, Old Ye has no idea what happened in Yanyou's family that caused him to become like this?"

"I don't know." Lu Shengyuan shook his head gently. "I asked him, and he really doesn't know much about the situation over there. According to him, the two of them didn't spend much time together. After the Lantern Festival, the two families had frequent exchanges for a while, but then slowly faded. After all, each of them has their own business, which is completely unrelated."

"How could the Ye family have no intersection in the business of pawning goods?" "That's unclear." Lu Shengyuan smiled, "These are their own business. If he doesn't say anything, I won't ask too much. At that time, Ye Pan had already started studying and practicing martial arts, and Yanyou was also learning the language of the Central Plains from his teacher. The only time they could meet up to have fun was during their holidays. If their holidays were staggered, then it could only be on certain fixed holidays."

"So, it's not that close, right?"

"They felt very close. During the Chinese New Year, if both families were in the capital, they would visit each other." Lu Shengyuan sighed softly, "This went on for about three or four years. Just when Ye Pan was planning to give up literature and join the army, Yanyou's family left Xijing City and went to Jiangnan. They found that their business could develop better in Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan?" Shen Cha glanced at Lu Shengyuan. "That makes sense. Jiangnan is the headquarters of the Qinglian Sect, and they are Japanese. They will definitely be targeted. Even if Yanyou's parents and brother can stay out of it, Yanyou can't."

"The general is right." Lu Shengyuan nodded, "It's not impossible."

"Well, that's probably the case!" Hongye touched his chin, "Does this mean that since Yanyou's family moved to Jiangnan, they have completely cut off contact?"

"It wasn't completely severed at that time. At the beginning, the two families still had some correspondence, and they would send gifts during festivals. But as time went by and Ye Pan decided to join the army, the relationship between the two families gradually went from estranged to completely severed. There was no news from each other and no idea what the other was doing."

"The next time we meet will be on the battlefield." Seeing Lu Shengyuan nod, Hongye said with emotion, "No wonder Ye Pan reacted so strongly!"

"We thought we could be brothers for life, but we ended up being mortal enemies." Jin Jing looked at Lu Shengyuan, "After that incident, Ye Pan seemed to be negative for a while."

"Yeah!" Lu Shengyuan nodded. "He told me today that I looked absent-minded. In fact, he was even more hungry than me at that time. He lost a lot of weight."

"He was obviously injured at the time and had no appetite." Hongye rolled her eyes, "Of course, he was sad, but he wasn't necessarily that sad, right?"

"Who knows!" Jin Jing stretched lazily and looked at Shen Cha who was dozing on Shen Haolin's shoulder. "What are you going to do with him?"

"Disposal?" Shen Cha opened his eyes slightly. "Let him go after the interrogation and let him take a message to Master Falian. We were planning to find someone to do this. It just so happens that he is here. He is more suitable than anyone else, isn't he?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will run away? Why don't you go to see Master Falian?"

"Don't be afraid!" Shen Cha shook his head gently. "We have already got the things in the box. That's what Master Falian dreams of taking back, isn't it? As long as he takes the box back, even if he was caught by us, he will have made up for his mistake."

"Cha'er is right." Shen Haolin nodded. "Master Falian got the box, knew his experience, and heard our message. He will definitely kill him, but he certainly won't do that now."

"Brother is right. As for when the knife hanging over our heads will fall, it depends on Master Falian's mood." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly. "Since he is unwilling to repay General Ye for saving his life, we can help him in another way."
