Chapter 384 The Mysterious Guest

Chapter 384 The Mysterious Guest

On the 28th of the first lunar month, Qi Zhifeng arrived at Jiaping Pass with ten of his entourage.

Half of the [-] soldiers brought by Yeluling were ordered by the king to escort him back to Linhuang Mansion, while the rest were left in the border town and brought back by the way when Qi Zhifeng and the others returned to the capital.

According to Qi Zhifeng's words, they didn't come to fight, nor did they come to show off their power. There was no need to bring so many people, ten people would be enough.

On Shen Jiajun's side, Shen Cha and Jin Jing were responsible for receiving Qi Zhifeng.

Logically speaking, with Qi Zhifeng's rank, even though he was the special envoy of King Liao, it was enough for Jin Jing, the master of the Shen family's army, to come forward, there was no need for Shen Cha, let alone Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian.If all the giant Buddhas in Jiaping Guancheng came forward, Qi Zhifeng himself would feel that he couldn't afford it.The reason why Shen Cha appeared in the post house was that she wanted to pass on something to Yelunan through Qi Zhifeng. She was still uncertain about this matter, and wanted Yelunan to help her discuss it.

If one of the Shen family's army wanted to see Qi Zhifeng the most, it should be Shen Jiu. These two people were of the same age and had similar interests. If Qi Zhifeng was also from Xia, they would have become close friends long ago.

Qi Zhifeng followed the soldiers of the Shen family army to the posthouse, and asked his followers to follow the postmen to settle down, while he brought a mysterious man wrapped in a black cloak into the main hall.

"The young general has met General Shen and the military adviser." Qi Zhifeng saluted, and looked at Shen Cha and Jin Jing standing in the hall with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you two doing? Look at Shen Cha." The general's complexion is much better than the last time we met. Although it is still the beginning of spring, but the cold weather is coming, you should pay more attention. If you get sick in this season, it will be serious, and General Shen still needs to be more concerned."

"Thank you for reminding me, my lord." Shen Cha smiled, invited Qi Zhifeng and the man in black to sit down, and motioned for Mei Lin to serve tea, "Is the journey going smoothly?"

"It's okay!" Qi Zhifeng thanked Mei Lin, and looked at the ginger soup on the table with a painful face, "That...General Shen, can you not drink this?"

"Young master was still persuading me just now. It's very cold now, and the most important thing is not to get sick. You must drink ginger soup to dispel the cold. If you fall ill, I can't explain to Nan Gongzi. Seeing Qi Zhifeng's expression, Shen Cha couldn't help laughing, this kid is really the same as Shen Jiu, and when it's time to drink ginger soup, he starts to play tricks.

"General Shen was joking. If Ah Feng gets sick from the cold, it's because of Afeng's carelessness. What has he got to do with General Shen?" The man in black, who had been wearing a hood all along, took off the hat on his head when he heard Shen Cha's words, revealing himself true colors.He turned to look at Qi Zhifeng, "Are you drinking it yourself, or do you want me to do it?"

"A'nan...you...forget it, I'll drink it myself." Qi Zhifeng picked up the soup bowl with a dignified look, squeezed his nose and poured the ginger soup into his mouth. "Cough cough cough cough cough, it's so spicy!"

"Spicy can dispel the cold." The mysterious man turned his head and smiled at Shen Cha and Jin Jing, "I'm sorry to make you laugh at me. However, if he is really sick with cold, not only will I not feel sorry for him, but I will Teach him severely, and see if he will be brave again in the future."

Seeing this person's face, Shen Cha and Jin Jing glanced at each other. To be honest, this person's appearance here was completely beyond their expectations.

"Oh, Mr. Nan, why don't you say what you mean when you are in front of us? If Mr. Qi is really sick, you may be the most anxious person." Shen Cha stood up and greeted Yelunan, "I only heard that Mr. Qi He replaced Mr. Yeluling and became the special envoy of the King of Liao, but he never expected Mr. Nan to follow. I was negligent just now, so please don’t take it to heart.”

"General Shen was joking, we are not only like-minded partners, but also friends, why should you be so polite?" Yelunan sighed, "You two don't have to worry, this time, I didn't come here secretly, I served it to my king Wang ordered to mix with Ah Feng's bodyguards and secretly guard his safety." Seeing the doubts in Shen Cha and Jin Jing's eyes, he continued to explain, "Before we set off, we have received news that someone will be here It’s not good for Ah Feng along the way.”

"So... did you meet an assassin on the way?" Jin Jing looked at Yelunan and then at Qi Zhifeng, "Are you all right?"

"There is no danger." Yeluling picked up the teacup and took two sips. "This assassination is different from what I encountered in the city. The assassins are divided into multiple groups. One group misses, and the next group will make up for it immediately. Even with Yelu After the handover of Ling, the assassins broke into the official post in the middle of the night. Fortunately, we did not let them succeed with all our precautions. The journey was extremely thrilling, and it is really a blessing from heaven to be able to meet the two of you smoothly. If we are lucky A little bit worse..." He shook his head lightly, "I'm afraid we will be separated forever."

"Both of you are very blessed people. Even if you encounter some setbacks, you will turn the corner. Don't worry about it." Shen Cha comforted, "As for those assassins, can we find out their origins? People, Mr. Nan, do you have any doubtful candidates?"

"General Shen is smart, why don't you make a guess?"

"Major General Yeluling was ordered to go to Jiapingguan City, and was replaced on the way... Could it be that he was angry in his heart, or had other thoughts, and was eager to hide something, so he used such a foolish method?" Seeing Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng nodded at the same time, Shen Cha frowned slightly, "It's just, this major general... when did he become so capable?"

"Isn't it? We are also wondering when he had such a great ability. Since he returned to Linhuang Mansion after saying goodbye to the general in Wuma Town, he has been at home. He is a real idle clan. We didn't Thinking of it, he actually prepared such a big surprise for us in secret." Yelunan sneered, "It's really a blockbuster!"

"Thinking about it, this person is also very insidious. Usually, he pretends to be a fool in front of us, but he has a different face behind his back, and he dares to attack us." Qi Zhifeng snorted. Twice, "Uncle is upright and kind, why did he raise such a... shameless and unworthy white-eyed wolf?"

"Master Qi is so angry, why is there something hidden?" Shen Cha asked Mei Lin to find some pastries for Qi Zhifeng, "Could it be that Yeluling offended Master Qi in other ways?"

"Where did you offend me? I'm so angry because he did something that is not what a human being should do." Qi Zhifeng talked quickly, and he talked about the general's residence in Linhuang Mansion without even breathing, " If Uncle Wang hadn't found out in time, Uncle Wang would have died soon. If Wang Ming hadn't been with me, and the first time I saw him, I would have chopped him apart!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, hasn't he already been punished? He won't end well when he returns to Beijing." Yelunan patted Qi Zhifeng's arm, "Besides, a person like him , it's not worth your trouble for him."

"Mr. Qi, what Mr. Nan said is quite right. This kind of person is not worth your dirty hands for him." Shen Cha sighed, "After leaving Wuma Town, I will occasionally receive letters from the old general. They are doing well, and I will feel at ease. But during the Chinese New Year period, various things are mixed together, and the old general has no recent news. I didn't expect such a thing to happen." She shook her head, "How is the old general now? "

"It's mainly about how you feel?" Jin Jing also asked, "Being treated like this by your own son must make you feel uncomfortable, and you must resolve it!"

"Now that Uncle Wang has been brought into the palace by Uncle Wang, he will take good care of him. General Shen doesn't have to worry." Yelunan took a sip of tea and continued, "Aside from protecting Ah Feng's safety, I am here this time. Nan has other important matters to discuss with General Shen."

"Sir, please speak."
