Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2397 Bring a Message 60.0
Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian exchanged glances. They had already figured it out beforehand. Xia Chen was at the border now and there was a high probability that he would meet Song Qiyun on the way.

"Looking at your expressions, I guess you guessed it?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nod, Xia Chen shrugged. He had washed his hands when he came in just now, so he naturally grabbed the snacks on the table, took a bite, and said vaguely, "You want Xiaoyun to wait for Xiaobaizi, right?"

"Yes, can we meet him?"

"It will take at least ten days to half a month." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xia Chen spread his hands and said, "I left ten days earlier than them. I am fast and they have more people and more things, so they move slowly. This is already a very conservative estimate." He looked at everyone curiously, "Did this child make any mistakes?"

"Why do you ask?"

"What should I say?" Xia Chen finished a piece of cloud cake, picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and took a bite, "Let's not talk about Haolin and Xiaocha, even if it's you, Xiaotian, you wouldn't throw someone out without a reason, right?"

"Didn't the little guy complain to you?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows. "But he volunteered to do it, just to avoid some trouble."

"Trouble?" Xia Chen looked at everyone, "Let me guess, this trouble probably doesn't come from you, that is..." He waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't guess about the internal affairs of the Shen family army." He stretched lazily and said, "I heard that those people in the Marquis' Mansion also came because of the sea chart?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nodded first and then shook his head, he asked curiously, "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"

"It means, yes and no." Xue Ruitian saw that Xia Chen's tea bowl was empty, so he refilled it. "You are responsible for telling us the location, and they are responsible for studying what the Sanskrit words on the map are. Don't disturb each other."

"I understand!" Xia Chen took a sip of water, "It will definitely be no problem, we will cooperate perfectly."

Xue Ruitian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Chen like this. He looked at the jade pendant hanging around his waist and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Following Xue Ruitian's gaze, Xia Chen saw the jade pendant on his waist and reached out to touch it. "Are you envious? Even if you are envious, I won't give it to you."

"Sister Jinyu is very kind to Xiaocha and she also loves you. I have been wanting this jade pendant for a long time, but she refused to give it to me. As soon as you came back, she gave it to you." Xue Ruitian snorted, "You better keep it well. Don't let Xiaobaizi see it. If he sees it, he will definitely snatch it from you. He has been coveting it for a long time."

"The day I got the jade pendant, I showed it off to him. He wanted to snatch it away, but he couldn't beat me." Xia Chen raised his eyebrows, "So, there's no point in being jealous. Whoever owns it will own it."

"He can't beat you?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows and showed a mocking smile, "He can fight Xiaocha and me to a draw, but he can't beat you? Wake up, Lao Qi, stop daydreaming, he is just letting you go!"

"Really?" Xia Chen looked at Xue Ruitian, then at Shen Cha, and saw the latter nodded with a smile, feeling a little disappointed, "Why?"

"I'm just teasing you. If the two of them can really have a good ending, you will have to call Xiao Baizi your brother-in-law when you see him next time." At this point, Xue Ruitian couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know what kind of ending she and Xiao Baizi will have."

"Don't worry, both of them are fine!" Xia Chen patted Xue Ruitian, "After this battle, I think there will be an ending, don't worry too much." He looked at the others, "Don't worry, everyone is fine, and they miss you very much. His Majesty also knows the importance of this battle, so he will not cause trouble for everyone at this time. You must be honest during this period and will never run around."

"Yes, I believe this." Shen Cha chuckled, "Is the Queen Mother in good health?"

"Very tough, his hand strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his pinching skills are getting better and better." Xia Chen touched his arm and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I entered the palace after I came back, and he pinched me all over the head and face, leaving bruises all over my arm."

"It's already very good that I didn't beat you up." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "When was the last time you came back, do you remember? It's been so many years, and you refused to come back no matter how much I persuaded you." He stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Chen's arm, "If it wasn't so late today and you weren't hungry, I would definitely beat you up." "Please spare me, I've been caught and beaten a lot during my time in Beijing. Although they were all jokes, I couldn't stand it." Xia Chen touched his chin and said, "The Empress Dowager originally asked me to bring some things for you, but then she knew I had to leave early, so she asked Xiao Baizi to bring them over. There are about two or three carts of things. Nothing expensive, just some daily necessities."

"Okay." Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Are you two going to say something?"

"What?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and yawned, "Hasn't the denunciation been completed? Brother Seven is back this time and he won't leave for a short time. It won't be too late for us to make preparations when he leaves next time."

"How are you going to prepare? What are you going to prepare?"

"I'll beat you up to remind you that there are people at home waiting for you to come back!" Shen Haolin laughed, "I didn't take this step last time, so you didn't come back for so long." He thought for a moment, "But, just because we don't denounce you this time doesn't mean you can escape. Go to the teahouse honestly tomorrow morning and be sincere. Who knows, Second Grandpa might really let you go."

"Got it." Xia Chen touched his nose, "Anyway, everyone is waiting for me to come back and give me a good beating."

“Still somewhat self-aware.”

Shen Haolin took a sip of tea and heard footsteps outside the flower hall. He looked at Shen Cha, who nodded, stood up and walked out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Meilin and Hongye carrying two food boxes and walking slowly towards him. Shen Cha turned sideways and let them in.

"Hey, look who is this!" Xia Chen's eyes lit up when he saw Meilin and Hongye, "Long time no see!"

"Prince Hui, long time no see." Hongye glanced at Xia Chen, "After so many years, you are still so lively!"

"Xiao Ye, your mouth is still so sweet."

Seeing him like this, Hongye couldn't help but roll her eyes and put everything in the food box in front of him.

"My Lord, please have your meal."

"Thank you, Xiaoye, and Xiaolinzi."

Merlin didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and sat behind Shen Cha.

"How did you two handle your issues?" Shen Cha turned around and looked at her. "Are you being honest?"

"They will behave themselves after a beating. Besides, we still have their black accounts in our hands. It is impossible for them to deny their past."
