Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 392 Departure

After working for half a month, everything was ready. Ying Shisan brought back Song Jue's imperial decree and General Zhen Guo's seal in time, as well as the jade talisman Song Jue bestowed on her, which could adapt to the situation and cut first and play later. Before going to Linhuang Mansion, he transformed himself from a deputy general of the Chinese army to a famous general.

"Song Jue's mind is finally not filled with those messy things, and finally he thought of giving our little tea a legitimate title." Xue Ruitian said to the freshly released General Zhen Guo with a smile, "With this title, no matter what Yeluertu, Yelulan or Yelunan will all look at you again. The people who are in charge of reception along the way will not underestimate you either."

Shen Haolin agreed, playing the banner of General Zhen Guo, if the other party wants to do something bad, they have to think about the consequences.

Shen Cha didn't speak, but just put away her official seal and jade talisman, and continued to read the secret letter Song Jue gave her.

In the early morning of February [-]th, Shen Cha and Jin Jing bid farewell to Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, led [-] accompanying soldiers, left Jiaping Pass City, and marched in the direction of Liao Kingdom.

The border gate of the Liao Kingdom had already received the news, and everyone was ready to welcome the Great Xia Mission.

The reception officer was specially transferred from Linhuang mansion by Yelunan. Before leaving Linhuang mansion, the three bosses, Yeluertu, Yelulan and Yelunan, asked him to take good care of Daxia along the way. Missions must be humble, courteous, warm and thoughtful, without any negligence, and must treat them according to the standard of honored guests.If it is found that the counties along the road dare to make trouble behind their backs, they will all be killed.

Although the etiquette officer didn't know why the three bosses suddenly attached so much importance to the Daxia Mission, they had to do well what the bosses ordered.If he can't even do such a small thing well, he can resign directly after he comes back, and he won't have the face to dawdle in the court anymore.

In addition to the orders of the three bosses, the ceremonial officer himself also hoped to receive the Great Xia Mission well.

That General Zhenguo is no stranger to court officials. He was able to stay in Linhuang Mansion and become a court officer because of his blessing.

In the Liao Kingdom, most of the people are passionate and warlike, and they all hope to shine on the battlefield or something.But he is not like this. Since he was a child, he has always been a quiet person. He is willing to find a quiet place to read, write, draw a picture, etc., and he is not willing to go to the racecourse or the school field to sweat with his peers. .But as a son of a nobleman, it is necessary to go to the battlefield, so even if he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

I don't know if he was lucky or unlucky. When he first fought in a war, he met this General Zhen Guo. He was whipped so hard by her that he broke his leg.Later, after a doctor's diagnosis, the broken leg can be reattached, but it can only guarantee that there is no serious problem in walking on weekdays, but it is absolutely impossible when riding a horse or fighting.

It was precisely because of this that he stayed in Linhuang Mansion and became a courtesy officer under the operation of his family.

Therefore, whenever he thinks of these things, the ceremonial officer always wants to thank General Zhen Guo, without her whip, he would not be where he is today.

Naturally, Shen Cha didn't know about this relationship, so when he arrived at the border of Liao Kingdom, he was greeted extremely warmly by all the people at the border, especially the officials, and he didn't realize it for a while.Fortunately, in front of outsiders, she never showed her emotions, she basically had a facial paralysis, so if you look at her face, you can't see the turmoil in her heart.

In this way, it seemed that Shen Cha was unfathomable, and everyone from the ceremony officials to the people in charge of reception at the border were in a state of panic.

The soldiers stationed at the border gate of the Liao Kingdom usually deal with people in Jiaping Pass more often, and they themselves have lingering fears about Shen Cha. Every time they see her, they can't help shivering, for fear that this ruthless female general will disagree with her. Just whip.Therefore, when receiving her, he was also trembling. If the service was not good, and he accidentally offended her somewhere, he might not be able to see the sun the next day.

Seeing the appearance of these people at the border, Shen Cha couldn't help sighing, and discussed with Jin Jing, they should hurry and leave here as soon as possible while it was still early, so that these people could relax.

When the ceremony officer learned of their decision, he thanked General Shen and Jin Junshi for their understanding, and told the border guards about this decision. He was very envious that they could breathe a sigh of relief, and he would accompany him all the way to Linhuang Mansion. .

I don't know if it was because of the company of the courtesy officer, the journey was extremely smooth, none of the accidents imagined before departure happened, and the supplies they carried, except for the ingredients, had almost no chance to come in handy .They wanted to eat and sleep in the open, but they were rejected by the ceremony officer.If Shen Cha and Jin Jing insisted, the ritual officer would probably kneel down and beg them.

In order not to let such an ugly picture appear, Shen Cha and Jin Jing mentioned it once, but after being rejected, they never mentioned it again.

Originally, the ceremonial officials and the local officials also wanted to do their best to entertain the distinguished guests of Daxia and let them taste the delicacies of the Liao Kingdom. It's not good, so, the post stations along the way all acquiesced in the practice of the distinguished guests cooking by themselves.

Because no one made trouble, the journey went smoothly. The whole trip was shortened by three days than expected. On February [-], I arrived at Luonan Town, which is five miles away from Linhuang Mansion. to the city.

The ceremonial officer who accompanied them all the way bid farewell to Shen Cha and Jin Jing after they settled down. He was going to the city to tell the king, the prince and Mr. Nan that other people would pick them up early tomorrow morning.

Sending the official away, Jin Jing returned to the post house and ordered Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to strengthen the guards. Without his and Shen Cha's orders, no one, especially the post house people, was allowed to approach the room on the second floor.

"He's gone?" Seeing Jin Jing enter the room, Shen Cha folded the letter, "In just a few days, this one has lost a whole lot of weight. It's really hard for him."

"They have intentions this time, and the journey went smoothly beyond our expectations." Jin Jing took out the teapot and tea canister, and started to make tea. "It is estimated that Yelunan greeted them in advance."

"For sure, and I specially asked the ritual officer to accompany me all the way, just because I was worried that someone would attack secretly."

"That courtesy officer is quite cute, and he always said thank you very much." Jin Jing winked at Shen Cha, "The whip you gave him made him live the life he wanted, which is pretty good too. .”

"There are too few aristocratic children in the Liao Kingdom who have a temperament like him. The position of courtesy officer is very suitable for him." Shen Cha yawned, "You just came back from the outside, what's the situation now, the tail is still there?"

"Yes, they will not give up any opportunity." Jin Jing nodded, "Although Yelunan has made preparations, we still have eyes around us. Those people really wanted to do it, but they didn't find the right time. Along the way, I can only follow secretly. And... they should not be a group of people, as if they are still guarding against the other party to trip them up."

"Whether it's a group of people, I don't know, but it's really not a time to rest assured. The city is full of fish and dragons. If you can't do anything on the road, it doesn't mean you give up. I asked Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to inquire about the situation. At dinner There will be accurate news.”

"Do you think..." Jin Jing stared at the slowly boiling tea soup, "Will they see the ritual officer leave and choose to do it tonight? According to my guess, they don't want us to see Yeluertu , Yelulan, and Yelunan, any one of the three."

"I think so too." Shen Cha nodded, "We are holding each other down on the road, now that we have arrived at our destination, we can be at ease and bold. Even if we die in this posthouse, they can still bite each other and take The other party pushed it out as a scapegoat."

"That makes sense." Jin Jing skimmed off the impurities on the tea soup with a wooden spoon, "After following this way, where do you think they came from?"

"One of the roads, I can be sure of, should come from the same place as the dead man who assassinated Qi Zhifeng last time. The rest is not clear. No matter who instigated them, their purpose is the same. We just need to Just deal with it, and leave the rest to Yeluertu to have a headache." Taking the tea handed over by Jin Jing, Shen Cha blew on it twice, took a sip, looked up and saw Jin Jing's distressed look, and said with a smile , "Brother Xiaojing, don't worry so much. If they don't come, we can sleep peacefully and go to the city in good spirits tomorrow morning. If they come..." She showed a smirk, "I will let you They come and go!"
