Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 257 Secret Letter

"Are you going to wake up?" Shen Haolin felt that Shen Cha was about to fall asleep again, and patted her gently, "Do you still want to sleep for a while?"

"Squint for a while longer." Shen Cha said in a daze, "It's too cold outside, I don't want to get up."

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Shen Haolin hugged Shen Cha, pulled up the quilt that had slipped down again, wrapped both of them tightly, and said softly, "Sleep, sleep!"

In such a super cold weather, it should be the greatest wish of every busy person to have a good night's sleep.

However, since ancient times, the reason why wishes have been called wishes is because they are usually difficult to realize, and even if it is such a small matter as sleeping in the cage, someone will come out to make trouble.

Just when Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were about to fall asleep again, they heard the sound of someone knocking on the window lattice outside.

"Xiao Wu is here." Hearing the knocking sound, Shen Haolin woke up instantly, looked at Shen Cha who was still drowsy, and sighed softly, "This guy is always on time, but... his Are you a little too energetic? Didn’t you feel tired and sleepy when you were up and running so late yesterday?”

"Hey, why is it so difficult to sleep in and be lazy?" Shen Cha complained in a low voice, trying to get up but couldn't open his eyes anyway, "That guy never knows what is tired, what is tiredness, what is tiredness? sleepy, the busier you are, the happier you are, the more idle you are, the more uncomfortable you are.”

"This description is very appropriate." Shen Haolin smiled, "Don't get up, keep talking, I'll go see Xiao Wu."

"Okay, brother, you've worked hard!"

Seeing Shen Cha falling asleep immediately after finishing a sentence, Shen Haolin was also very distressed.

In fact, every Chinese New Year is the best recuperation period for Shen Cha. During this period, there are usually not many things that need to be dealt with by her. The whole person is in such a lazy state, sleeping when she wants to sleep, and eating when she wants to eat Eat when you order something, go out and play if you want to go out for a walk.But this year, messy things messed up everyone's life.People think that fighting a war is a hard job. In fact, the calculations behind it are the most exhausting, and the person who suffers the most is Shen Cha.

Shen Haolin gently let go of Shen Cha, placed her in the middle of the bed, carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed, then wrapped Shen Cha tightly with the quilt, like a silkworm baby, Looking at it this way, it looks so cute.He put on his padded robe while admiring his work, the more he looked at it, the more regretful he felt, and he also felt regretful. If his painting skills were good, he would draw this scene and hang it there every day. Can be happy.

It's a pity that he doesn't look like anything in his paintings other than city defense maps and formation maps. The last time he drew a teapot, they were all nondescript. I'm afraid the portraits are even more outrageous. He'd better not spoil this beautiful scenery. it is good.

Putting on the cotton robe quickly, Shen Haolin bent down slightly, planted a soft kiss on Shen Cha's forehead, turned around and walked out of the room, and pulled out the screen by the way.

"Xiao Wu?" Shen Haolin opened the door of the bedroom and waved at Ying Wu, "Come in!"

"Master Guo!" Ying Wuxing bowed, followed Shen Haolin into the door, saw the screen as soon as he entered, raised his eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "Boss is still up?"

"I tossed and tossed all day yesterday, but she was exhausted. Let her sleep for a while. It's Chinese New Year, and there's nothing too important!"

"What the Duke said is true." Ying Wu put the teapot in his left hand on the ground, neatly placed the official documents on the table, took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom, and shook it lightly twice, "From It was sent through a secret passage."

"Oh, I thought this passage would not be activated before the end of the first month. Some people really can't wait!" Shen Haolin knelt down to heat the small tea stove after watching Yingwu, frowning slightly, " Where are the two girls, Mei Lin and Mei Zhu? Are you being lazy? You are getting more and more courageous for ordering you to do such a thing."

"You misunderstood them. They got up early and went to the small dining room to prepare breakfast. When they saw me walking this way, they knew that I was going to send official documents to the boss. Please let me bring this over along the way."

"Really? Then I have to apologize to them." Poured a cup of tea each for himself and Ying Wu, Shen Haolin flipped through the official documents, and rolled his eyes casually. Singing and dancing, the memorials sent to Beijing by officials from all over the country are all New Year's greetings.During this period of time, as long as nothing tragic happened, the residence newspaper would be like a piece of waste paper.Shen Haolin casually turned it over and threw it aside, his eyes fell on the top of the small bamboo tube, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'm going to send a message to us right now, isn't Yelu too impatient? No matter how much you want to do it, It’s going to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, isn’t it?”

"If it is not a particularly urgent situation, I think that the Regent will not easily open the secret passage. How important this passage is, and what price we, His Majesty and the Regent's Palace have paid for it, the Regent knows well Yes. When this channel was built, we made an agreement that unless major events that would shake the fundamentals of the two countries happened, it should not be used lightly, let alone disclosed to the Kingdom of Jin. The regent will open the channel this time, and it may be the Kingdom of Liao The domestic situation is really not very good, so, give and get our support.”

"That's right. At the beginning of this passage, it was established to unite against the Kingdom of Jin. The so-called friendship between Xia and Liao depends on the Kingdom of Jin! It has been five or six years since it was opened last time. This time it is opened again... ...The regent may change his identity." Shen Haolin looked at Ying Wu, "Based on your judgment, what is the current situation in Liao Kingdom?"

"Basically stable. After all, Yeluertu has always been in control of the overall situation, but the situation of the little Liao king should be very bad. I'm afraid it won't last until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Ying Wu finished the fire and put the teapot on the small stove Slowly cooking, he sat opposite to Shen Haolin, holding a teacup and sipping tea, "Besides, I believe that the reason why Yeluertu came to us so quickly and asked to cooperate with us was because something happened. It's the last thing he wants to see."

"Wanyan Zongcheng knew some things about the Liao Kingdom, and planned to do something." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, read Yeluertu's secret letter, and stuffed it back into the small bamboo tube intact. "This guy is narrow-minded and too suspicious. He has already told us to form an alliance before, but now he has repeatedly confirmed that he is worried that we will break the contract halfway and sell them to Wanyan Zongcheng."

"Wanyan Zongcheng has been mixed up to this point today, why is it worth our trouble to win over?" Ying Wu shrugged, "Isn't it unnecessary for Yeluertu to do this?"

"Of course not." The screen was pulled open, and the well-dressed Shen Cha came out from the room with a yawn, waved to Ying Wu who was saluting with her, walked quickly to Shen Haolin's side and sat down, reached out and took out the A secret letter, read it quickly.

"Why did you get up? Did we quarrel with you?" Shen Haolin poured her a cup of tea and brought it to her lips.

"No." Shen Cha took two sips of tea and shook his head lightly, "I can't fall asleep without my brother."

After listening to Shen Cha's words, Shen Haolin's whole body was extremely comfortable, and the smile on his face was so bright that if it wasn't for the ears blocking it, the corners of his mouth would have grinned to the back of his head.

"Boss, you said that Yeluertu's move is not superfluous, is there any basis for it?" Ying Wu felt that the Duke of this state really didn't want to see it, and he thought it would be better to talk about some serious business.

"No basis, his thoughts have been clearly written here." Shen Cha patted the letter, "His main purpose of this letter is not to confirm whether our alliance is stable, he believes in our judgment on the current situation , I believe we will not stand on Wanyan Zongcheng's side. After all, our hatred with the Jin Kingdom is much deeper than with the Liao Kingdom."

"Then what is his purpose for sending this letter? He didn't hesitate to open that passage?"

"Opening the channel is one of the purposes. After all, we are about to join forces to deal with the Wanyan family. The same opponent and the same purpose, it is impossible without a smooth news channel. The second purpose..." Shen Cha sneered All of a sudden, "It's a miserable sale."

"Selling miserably?" Shen Haolin and Ying Wu looked at each other, "What do you mean?"

"It's just pretending to be pitiful to win our sympathy." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "The whole content of this letter is to explain one thing, let our Great Xia Shen family army go to be the first bird, and be the vanguard for their Liao Kingdom. Because They are too busy to take care of themselves now, the domestic turmoil cannot be resolved, and he has no energy to send troops to the Kingdom of Jin, so he can only ask us to explore the way first."

"Understood!" Shen Haolin sneered, "Yeluertu really had a good plan. He didn't ask us, it was clearly a calculation. He asked us to act as the vanguard, just to consume our strength, and wait until our successors are exhausted. At that time, they reaped the benefits of the fisherman with all their strength!"

"What my brother said is that Yeluertu's idea is exactly this, and he can get the Kingdom of Jin without any effort. Although we don't like the poor land and waters of the Kingdom of Jin, we can't let Yeluertu succeed so easily. , isn't it?" Shen Cha looked at the letter, put it back into the small bamboo tube, and gave a smirk, "By the way, has Your Majesty been bored recently?"

"What do you want to do?" Shen Haolin, who instantly understood what Shen Cha meant, couldn't laugh or cry, "Song Jue will hate you to death."

"No way!" Shen Cha smiled triumphantly, "As a subject, we must share our worries for you, right? I believe His Majesty will understand our painstaking efforts and will definitely resolve this matter properly."
