Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 386

Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng finished all the things they should do, and only rested in Jiaping Pass City for one night. Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, they set off back to Liao Kingdom with their entourage.

Shen Haolin and the others did not persuade them to stay. The funeral of King Liao was officially held on February 28. During this time, Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng still had a lot of things to do.Furthermore, they discussed that with Yeluling's ability, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize so many dead men to work for him, and there must be someone else behind Yeluling.As for who this other person is, they don't have a clue yet, but they have to guard against it.If they returned to Linhuang Mansion one day earlier, they would be able to find clues one day earlier. If they were lucky, they might be able to follow the clues and find the person behind it.

Shen Cha and Yelu have already made an appointment. On February 25, the condolence team will start from Jiaping Guancheng. If all goes well, they will arrive at Linhuang Mansion on the 28th. If not, they will arrive on the [-]th at the latest.

"Why did you suddenly tell Yelunan your plan?" After seeing off the Liao Kingdom mission, everyone walked towards the Shen family's barracks. Shen Haolin nodded to the people in the city who had greeted him, and asked in a low voice, "I don't mean to think about it carefully. What? Is this the result of your consideration?"

"No matter how I think about it, I feel that it's not good for us to come forward for this kind of matter. Mr. Nan is the most suitable candidate." Seeing sweet fried pancakes on the side of the street, Shen Cha walked over, "Boss, how much is this pancake?" One?"

"Two copper plates, one, how many do you want?"

"Twenty." Shen Cha took out a money bag from Shen Haolin's sleeve, poured out forty copper coins from it, and put it into a small plate specially for money

"Twenty?" The stall owner was bowing his head to fry pancakes. When he heard that someone wanted to buy twenty pancakes, he was shocked. He raised his head to see who made such a big deal, and to see the person standing in front of him clearly. , he couldn't believe his eyes, and saluted tremblingly, "Xiaomin has met the Duke and Miss!" Then he turned to Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing behind them, "I have seen the Marquis and the military advisor."

"You don't need to be so polite." Xue Ruitian came over, stood next to the oil pan, and took a deep breath, "Hiss, don't mention it, I've seen it before, but I didn't think it tasted so good. I don't know what happened today, but the taste is quite good." fragrant."

"Hey, the ones you saw before were all ordinary ones." Jin Jing hooked Xue Ruitian's shoulders, "Boss, this one has sugar in it, right?"

"Yes!" The stall owner took two deep breaths, tried to calm himself down, and quickly threw the fried pancakes in the oil pan on the grate to drain the excess oil, and then threw the prepared pancakes into the into the frying pan.

"The crackling sound of fried food, in my opinion, should be the most beautiful sound in the world." Jin Jing put her hands in her hands and looked at the pancakes churning in the oil pan with a smile, "Fortunately, that girl Miao Miao No, if she was here, she would definitely not let us eat this."

"It's useless for her to be here, so eat it if you want." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, took a bite of the warm pancakes handed over by the stall owner, "Phew, pancakes should be eaten just out of the pan, they are so delicious! "

The stall owner was so embarrassed by the praise that he almost burned the oil cakes in the pot, but fortunately he recovered in time and did not let the oil cakes in the pot be scrapped.

Because of Shen Haolin and his group's bulk purchases, the people passing by all came to join in the fun, wanting to taste what the Duke and Lord Hou like to eat.After a short while, there was a long queue in front of the stall.

The stall owner hadn't seen this kind of situation since he opened the pancake stall. He was so busy that by the time he remembered to return the pancake money to the Duke and the others, these four people had long since disappeared.

"I didn't finish what I said just now, let's continue." Entering the large tent of the Chinese army, Shen Haolin nodded to the generals who were already waiting there, and signaled Xue Ruitian to share the pancakes with everyone. "Are you sure Yelunan will take the bait?"

"Of course, he concealed it very well, but the moment he heard my plan, the joy and sudden realization were instinctive reactions, and they couldn't be concealed at all." Shen Cha took a sip of the hot tea that Mei Lin handed over. , put the remaining half of the pancakes in front of Shen Haolin, "He doesn't want us to do this, he is worried that if we fail, they will be implicated, so he objected, saying that liars have no bottom line and so on. If I want to argue with him, Erhutang is a bright target. But my original intention is to run this brick out, as for whether I attract a piece of bad jade or a beautiful jade, it depends on Yelunan himself."

"If you were Yelunan, what would you do?" Shen Haolin picked up the leftover pancake from Shencha, broke off a piece and chewed slowly, "Should we use Erhutang, or use those crooks in the prison? "

"Both are useful, and one is indispensable." Seeing that the eyes of the generals in the tent were focused on him, Shen Cha said with a smile, "The people in Erhutang, in essence, they are not liars, they are very good elaborators No matter what kind of roles they play, they are competent. Think about it carefully, if Yelunan sends people from Erhutang to deposit money at this time, what role will they play?"

"Merchants!" Shen Haolin nodded, "But they may not be grain merchants. At this time of extreme food shortage, foreign merchants who can produce a large amount of grain are very suspicious. If you want to avoid attracting attention, spice merchants should be Good choice."

"Brother is right." Shen Cha glanced at the red leaves silently nibbling on pancakes, and showed a faint smile, "Be good with the spice merchants from outside, find out their backgrounds, and ask them to help you buy food Yes. It’s been a long time, and it’s not so unacceptable to occasionally help deliver a message, right? When the internal struggles in the Kingdom of Jin enter the final stage, the liars in the prison can come in handy.”

"In the second half of the battle, the two sides facing each other may be Wanyanping and Wanyanxi, or Wanyanping and a certain tribe in the coalition army, or a certain tribe in the coalition army and Wanyanxi. However, the possibility The biggest one is the first one, Wanyan Ping and Wan Yanxi, it is very likely that both sides will occupy half of the country, recuperate for a period of time, and then fight the final decisive battle." Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian nodded at the same time, "It is not only the soldiers who need to recuperate , or to rule the people, at least make sure they are well fed and warmly clothed."

"So, businessmen no matter where they come from will be useful. As for how to arrange the people in Erhutang and those crooks, it depends on the situation at the time. Of course, if the plan is revealed, the unlucky ones will be those crooks. And the people from Erhutang will naturally be able to retreat unscathed."

"It's a good move to kill with a knife." Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, "It's amazing!"

"Brother Xiaotian, thank you!" Shen Cha waved at Shen Jiu who had just entered, and handed him the pancake left behind, "It's a little cold, put it on the fire to warm up before eating."

"Thank you sister, thank you brother." Shen Jiu sat at the first place on Shen Cha's right hand side, "By the way, sister, how many people are you going to bring with you to Linhuang Mansion with brother Xiaojing? Who are you going to take?"

"It's still early, don't worry." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "What do you think, brother?"

"Both Xiaotian and I feel that 300 people should be selected from the Pioneer Camp to go with you and Xiaojing."

"300 people?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing shook their heads together, "We are here to mourn, not to fight. With so many people from the Pioneer Camp, the Liao people who don't know where we are think we are going to grab territory. ! Bring up to 100 people, no more will be good.”

"Then sister, take me there, okay?" Shen Jiu stood up, walked over, hung his whole body on his sister, and said dangling, "I will definitely protect your safety!"

"Pfft!" Xue Ruitian couldn't hold back, and the tea that had just entered his mouth was sprayed out. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Xiaojiu, you are a pioneer general who ran into the territory of the Liao people. Do you want to hit others, or do you intend to be beaten by others?"

"That's right!" Jin Jing quickly flipped through the mansion newspaper that was just delivered this morning, "You should know how many generals of the Liao army died or died in your hands, right? For the sake of Yelunan's face, he will not trouble you openly, but will also trip you up secretly. For example, make some harmless jokes, make you lose face, etc. When the time comes, do you care about them or keep silent? What's wrong with you?"

"Brother Xiaojing, you are wrong to say that. Compared with my sister who has made countless enemies and has a bad reputation, I am pretty good, right? According to you, wouldn't it be more dangerous for my sister to go to Linhuang Mansion? ?”

"What's the bad name?" Shen Haolin stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Jiu off Shen Cha's body, "It's obviously the reputation! Besides, who do you think is better in kung fu, you or your sister?"

"Brother, aren't you bullying people by asking that?" Shen Jiu pouted, "In our Shen family army, apart from you, Brother Xiaotian, and Brother Xiaojing, how many others can be compared with my sister? I don't care. Hard work is not as good as my sister."

"I'm asking you this to make it clear to you that if you go, you will only cause trouble for your sister. As for your sister, the Liao people really hate her, but they dare to make fun of you, but they dare not attack your sister. .Because of a joke, at least you will seriously injure yourself, and at worst you will lose your own life, it's not worth it."

"Besides, those who dare to attack Xiaocha are probably not in the same way as Yeluertu and Yelunan. They hope that those people will join up by themselves. The more people there are, the easier it is for them to show their flaws. The people behind them will be exposed. The sooner they have an excuse to get rid of this group of people." Xue Ruitian sneered, "Those in Yelu's family who are at odds with Yelu Ertu, Yelu Nanmianhe, and those big families who are not very convinced understand this truth. Save yourself, they won't attack Xiaocha either. Xiaojiu, just stay at home honestly, your sister will come back safely."

"Okay!" Shen Jiu curled his lips, "You've all talked about this, so it's the only way to go."

Seeing his small figure who was so wronged that he was about to cry, Shen Cha reached out and pinched his face, a child is a child, he can't hide any worries!
