Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 409 Bickering

It snowed heavily all day and all night, and there was still no intention of stopping, but it was much smaller than the previous day.

Mei Lin and Mei Zhu got up early, and went to Shen Cha's room to replace Ying Ba, who was on duty at night, and brought hot water for washing by the way.

When the two sisters entered the door, they saw Ying Ba lying on the soft couch, sleeping soundly, even snoring.

Shen Cha has already got up, and is sitting at the table reading the letter.Hearing the movement at the door, she raised her head and waved to the two sisters, signaling not to wake Yingba.

"It's rare that today is relatively free. Why don't you two sleep a little longer, what are you doing when you wake up so early?" Shen Cha lowered his head and continued to read the letter. After reading everything, he put it back in the envelope.

"Is it a letter from the Duke?" Merlin glanced at the seal on the envelope, which was the symbol of the Duke's Mansion, "How is the Duke's Mansion?"

"It's all good." Shen Cha nodded lightly, "Brother just complains, Brother Xiaotian doesn't help him at all, as long as he is asked to read the official documents, he has to run outside."

"Hou Ye never likes to look at those things, and only generals and military advisers have the patience." Mei Zhu tidied up the bed, and walked over to find clothes for Shen Cha to wear, "Is everyone else alright?"

"All, everything is normal." Shen Cha stretched her brother, stood up and prepared to wash up, but she might be a little jerky when she got up, she was a little dizzy, and her body shook a little. "Been sitting for half a stick of incense before I knew it." She shook her head, "It shouldn't have been done for so long."

Mei Lin put the hot water bucket away, and together with Mei Zhu, who was holding the clothes, moved closer to Shen Cha, and sized her up carefully.

"What are you two doing?" Shen Cha walked over and poured the water from the bucket into the tub, "What's on my face?"

"General, why is your face so red?" Merlin frowned, and reached out to touch Shen Cha's forehead, "It's a little hot."

"Isn't it hot?" Shen Cha waved his hand indifferently, picked up the handkerchief next to him and began to wash his face, "Who would have thought that the earth dragons from the Liao people would be hotter than ours? It was dry mouth, and I was really woken up by the heat. Because it was too dry, my throat was so sore, I got up and drank two sips of herbal tea, but I still didn’t feel very comfortable. In this room, it’s really Not too hot, not too cold."

"It's really because the room is too hot, didn't you kick the quilt at night and catch a cold?" Mei Zhu leaned over, reached out and touched Shen Cha's neck, then touched her wrist, "Well, it's normal, except that the forehead is slightly A little hot."

"I'm still a great general. Even if I'm not as strong as you guys, I'm not too weak, okay?" Shen Cha rolled her eyes and wiped off the water on her face with a handkerchief, "I know you guys are worried about me. body, but there is no need to be so suspicious."

"Where are we being suspicious? If the general didn't hide his physical condition, we wouldn't be so nervous." Mei Lin and Mei Zhu saw that she was in good spirits, and she really didn't look like she was about to get sick. My heart was slightly relieved, "Before we set off, Grandpa Qian and Wan told us to take good care of you. If you are sick, you will definitely come to us for questioning after you go back."

"Ask the crime?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "Brother wouldn't be so rude, don't talk nonsense!"

Merlin handed over the mouthwash cup and said, "General, the Duke will not be rude to you. After all, you can get away with acting coquettishly and fooling around. We are different. As your personal bodyguard , Failure to take good care of you is our biggest dereliction of duty. So, for our sake, the general must take care of himself."

"What are you acting like a spoiled child?" Shen Cha rolled her eyes at Merlin, "When did this general do such a thing? Don't talk nonsense!"

"It's not nonsense, it's real. It's just that, boss, you act like a baby and play tricks so naturally, you don't even know it." Ying Ba, who was sleeping soundly, was disturbed by their voices , rolled and crawled down from the soft couch, stretched his waist, and swayed to the door in a daze. Well, I can't do it, I have to go back to sleep."

"What's wrong with Xiao Ba?" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu glanced at each other, and they looked at Shen Cha together, "General, what were you doing last night? Why is Xiao Ba so sleepy? The smell on his body... Did you drink?"

After Shen Cha finished rinsing his mouth, he wiped the water stains around his mouth with a handkerchief, tied his hair with a hair band, and took two sips of hot tea from his teacup.

"I didn't do anything, just drink tea and chat with the military commander, it's just a bit late. Xiaoba has been drinking, not much, and you all know that that little drinking capacity is not enough to look at in front of Brother Xiaojing. " Shen Cha stretched his waist, "Xiao Zhu, go and see if brother Xiao Jing is up. If he is not up, just wrap him up and sleep again, so you don't have to go shopping."

Seeing Mei Zhu leave the room, Mei Lin stared at Shen Cha eagerly, without speaking for a long time.

"What's the matter?" After Shen Cha changed his clothes, he came over and saw Shen Haolin's letter on the table, picked it up, and put it in his small box properly.After she put away the letter, she turned around and saw Merlin looking at her, raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you want to say to me?"

"General..." Merlin took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly, "It took us a long time to come here, you...won't you go and see them?"

"Don't go, the name is not right and the words are not right. Remember, we are here to pay tribute to King Xianliao, and don't do other unnecessary things."

"I understand, but..."

"It's nothing but, even if I went to see them, what's the use? After meeting, I'm afraid I won't even recognize the other person's face, so why bother!" Shen Cha shook his head lightly, and reached out to pat Mei Lin's face. Shoulder, "Actually, when they left, Jiu'er and I were very young children. They didn't know what we would become when we grew up. Moreover, in their cognition, we all It's already dead."

"But, will the general regret it?"

"Regret? No." Shen Cha smiled, and stretched out his hand to touch his face, "The way it is now is very good, I don't want to change anything."

"Since you've figured it out a long time ago, I won't say any more. You are right. In your current capacity, it is really inconvenient. At least you can't explain why you treat two ordinary Liars are so caring." Merlin looked Shen Cha up and down, and suddenly smiled, "Time flies so fast, I remember the first time I saw the general, you were still lingering on the sick bed, a thin and small person. It's just that everyone in the Zhen Guogong's mansion is worried about your health, and they are afraid that one day you will not make it through. At that time, no one would have thought that you would become a powerful general."

"I didn't even think about it. I thought that being able to survive was the greatest gift from God to me. The time of more than ten years is like a blink of an eye. In fact, we have had a very difficult time. How many times Walking around in front of the ghost gate, how many times is life hanging by a thread."

"What the general said is that several times, I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to survive until now."

"Don't be so pessimistic, life and death, just obey the destiny." Shen Cha poured a cup of hot tea for Mei Lin, "Speaking of which, when I knew you, you were still a bird catcher in trees and fish in rivers, look Isn't it amazing that the little demon king who is going to beat anyone who doesn't like him is going to get married now? Some time ago, I told my brother that it never occurred to me that the first dowry we gave out was yours."

"General, how can you tease your subordinates like this?" Merlin blushed in embarrassment, "What kind of dowry, even if I am married, I will still be by the general's side."

"If you follow me, you also need to give a dowry. These two are not in conflict."

Shen Cha originally wanted to say something to tease Mei Lin, but vaguely heard a quarrel outside the door, the two looked at each other, stood up and went out to see what happened.

As soon as the two of them left the house one after the other, they ran into Jin Jing and Mei Zhu who came out from the next room, and they also heard the quarrel downstairs.

"Brother Xiao Jing, morning!" Shen Cha greeted Jin Jing, "Looking at you like this, you woke up early?"

"It's too hot in the room, so I'm not used to sleeping." Jin Jing looked downstairs and saw a waiter running out from the direction of the dining room, he quickly shouted, "Little brother, wait! "

"General Shen, Military Adviser!" The younger brother in the hall heard the voice, looked up to see Shen Cha and Jin Jing, and bowed to them, "Are you two resting well? Breakfast is ready, both of you, please go downstairs Let's eat!"

"Wait before you eat, what are you shouting at this door?" Jin Jing followed Shen Cha downstairs, and looked at the door of the inn curiously, "Who is so brave, dare to make trouble here?"

"I'm really sorry to disturb you two, Mr. Yelu and Mr. Qi have already gone to deal with it."

"I didn't ask you two sons, but who came to make trouble." Seeing the embarrassment on the waiter's face, Shen Cha understood, "Is it from the Duan family? They should come to see us, the two sons It is easy to cause criticism if you come forward to solve this kind of matter." She turned her head and glanced at Merlin, "Go, invite the two young masters to come back, they still have things to do today, don't waste time on useless people."

"Yes, General." Merlin took two steps, then came back, "They probably want to see you."

"Xiao Linzi, is your general able to meet anyone he wants?" Jin Jing thought for a while, "Forget it, I'll go with you."

"Brother Xiaojing?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"

"It's rare to have a pastime that comes to your door, how can I miss it?" Jin Jing walked towards the door of the inn with square steps, "I want to see how thick-skinned this Duan Shi's envoy is!"

　Sore all over, feeling like I'm going to catch a cold!
