Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 422

Yelulan calculated carefully, he, Shen Cha, and Jin Jing hadn't seen each other for three years and seven months, the last time they met was at the so-called martial arts tournament of Xia, Liao, and Jin, and now they meet again, I don't know why, but he suddenly had the illusion that it was a lifetime away, as if the happy conversation that time was already a thing in the previous life.

That meeting was Yelulan's first time, and also the only time she met the legendary female general of Xia who killed without batting an eyelid.

Before meeting, he had always been extremely curious about this female general, and wanted to see what kind of character this woman who caused the Liao Kingdom to lose two kings at once on the battlefield was like.

There have always been rumors in the market, and there are even portraits of this female general circulating in the world, but most of them are too exaggerated and have lost the meaning of reference.Words like "five big and three rough" are already considered gentle, and some people even say that she is three-headed and six-armed, with a blue face and long fangs. Yelulan naturally refuses to believe a word of these words. Just burly.

However, after seeing a real person at the martial arts competition, Yelulan refused to believe her eyes. It was all in their imagination that they were tall and thick, and that they were taller than ordinary women. For General Shen's small body, such a description is absolutely unbelievable. The name is not worthy of the name, the word Ruoliu Fufeng is still very appropriate.

Yelulan remembered that she stared at Shen Cha's waist for a long time, it was so thin, she felt like she could hold it with both hands.

But it was such a weak woman who seemed to be in poor health and not very strong, who actually beat the old Liao king and his heir to death. Ye Lulan couldn't help but admire her, especially after seeing Shen After Cha's heroic appearance in the martial arts tournament, the saying that people should not be judged by appearances was firmly engraved in his mind.

The schedule for that martial arts competition was not particularly full, and there were a few days that were relatively free, so Yelulan went to find Shen Cha under the banner of exchanging experience, mainly because she wanted to get to know this person in depth.However, when he went looking for her, he was a little apprehensive. After all, she gave people the impression that she was very cold and unapproachable, but after getting in touch with her, he found that it was just an illusion.

Although this General Shen is not very talkative, but after getting to know him for a long time and getting to know each other better, he gradually became more talkative.

They didn't talk about the art of war, tactics, etc., and mostly exchanged some reading experience, and some principles of dealing with people. Anyway, they chatted very well, and Yelulan felt that he had found a confidant, very happy.

But the fly in the ointment was that every time he met with General Shen, General Shen would always be accompanied by a covetous Lord Zhen Guo.I don't know if it's his own illusion, but the Duke of Zhen didn't look so friendly at him.

Now hearing General Shen's words, "My son, long time no see", Yelulan felt that the distance between them was pulled back all of a sudden, as if the blank three years and seven months did not exist at all.

"Long time no see, General Shen!" Yelulan saluted lightly, just like they did when they met privately before.He showed a faint smile, quickly glanced at Shen Cha with his eyes, finally rested his eyes on her waist, and said, "It seems that I haven't made much progress."

"Please sit down!" Shen Cha didn't care about Yelulan's words at all. After asking him to sit down, he said softly, "In the past few years, there have been many injuries and illnesses, and a few times have been very dangerous. It is the last time that the prince can still see me. Good result."

"You can't say such unlucky words. Fortunately, Lord Zhen is not here, otherwise he would be unhappy. If he is unhappy, I will be the one who is unlucky!"

Shen Cha also thought that her elder brother didn't like to see this prince very much. In that martial arts tournament, this prince would chat with her whenever he had time, which made the two of them spend very little time together, which made Shen Haolin very upset .

Shen Cha knew that her elder brother was the kind of person who wanted to let others be unhappy with him when he was unhappy, so after he finished chatting with this eldest son, the other party would be taken by her elder brother to "heart-to-heart talk".As for how this heart is discussed, these two people have never revealed a little bit to her.

Sitting on the side, Jin Jing looked at Yelulan and Shen Cha, stretched out her hand and stroked her chin, feeling as if they were isolated, and they couldn't get into the world of these two people.

"I said Mr. Nan!" Jin Jing poked at Yelunan who was sitting next to her and was drinking tea calmly, "Your eldest son, doesn't he have any other thoughts about my general? Look at him looking at my general. Look, it doesn't feel right!"

"Military commander, don't worry, Ah Lan's feelings for General Shen are pure admiration, and he thinks General Shen is his only confidant."

"Really? Didn't lie to me?"

"Of course!" Yelunan nodded affirmatively, moved closer to Jin Jing, and said in a low voice, "Didn't I say before that Ah Lan planned to marry Princess Daxia? Uncle Wang once suggested to him that since he and General Shen chatted so well that he just asked her to marry her, but A Lan firmly refused. He said that he and General Shen are the kind of people who can abandon their identity, status, background, and even gender, and they can marry her. The kind of relationship of being friends for life, if the object of marriage proposal is her, he will feel very uncomfortable, and will have the illusion of marrying his brother home." He patted Jin Jing, "According to what I just said Observe, there is no such feeling between the two of them."

"Okay, it looks like I've misunderstood."

Jin Jing smiled at Yelunan, took a sip from the teacup, and continued to listen to the conversation between Shen Cha and Yelulan.

"It's been a long time, but Shizi has changed a lot." Shen Cha looked at Yelulan seriously, "It's not about looks, but how he feels. When we met before, my elder brother and I thought Shizi was a childish young man." A young man who is off, a little shy and shy, but he is not stingy in expressing his thoughts. It's just because of his young age and lack of vision, what he said sounds naive."

"And now? Has the General changed his mind about me?"

"This is natural. The naive child was replaced by a mature and steady man."

Shen Cha didn't finish her sentence, she felt that after more than three years of experience, Yelulan was not only mature and stable, but also a little incomprehensible.

From the beginning of the banquet, the smile on this person's face never disappeared, but the smile never really reached his eyes. His attitude towards many people was very polite, but with a touch of alienation.

For this change in Yelulan, Shen Cha very much agrees.He is not a child of an ordinary family, he is the only heir of King Liao, and will be the next King of Liao. From now on, he needs to establish a majesty in front of all civil and military officials, and even envoys from various countries.Otherwise, it is of no benefit to a country if the ruler is weak and the minister is strong.Although Liao is an enemy country, she also hopes that her opponents are of equal strength, not in a situation of being crushed.

"What is the general thinking?" Yelulan raised her eyebrows, "Are you not satisfied with my current change?"

"How could it be? People have to grow up, and changes are a matter of course. It's just that the prince wants to convince the public, but he still lacks a kind of deterrent power. This deterrent power is not the ability to hide his emotions and anger." reached."

"That's why the general told me through Anan to let me go to the barracks to practice?"

"Whether it is Liao or Yelu, they all started their families with martial arts. No matter what the achievements of the Liao kings in the past, they all fought on the battlefield. If the prince thinks about the future... If he also has such a day, he will naturally be unavoidable. Otherwise , A king who has never been on the battlefield will not be respected and obeyed by those nobles, and they may even use this as an excuse to depose you."

"The general's suggestion is very good, and I am willing to follow it, but there is one thing that I don't quite understand, and I would like to ask the general for advice." Yelulan looked at Shen Cha seriously, "Don't worry, the general, if you do this Did you cultivate a strong opponent for yourself?"

"My lord, do you remember what I said before? If something is destined to be done, no matter how many obstacles there are or how long the delay is, it will still be done. So, if you are destined to be my It's useless for me to hinder my opponent." Shen Cha smiled lightly, "However, are you really ready to give up your comfortable and easy life and go to the hard barracks to fight hard? Based on what I know about King Liao, even if He agrees with you to enter the camp, and he will not let you lead the army at the very beginning, but should start from the bottom of the army."

"Now that I have made up my mind and made this decision, no matter how hard it is, I will stick to it. You have said what you are destined to do, and it will be done no matter what. Besides, the military camp is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. A girl like you Don’t be afraid, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for me to be a man without money? If I become a deserter, I’m afraid I’ll never see you again.” Yelulan breathed a sigh of relief, “One thing you guessed wrong, my father still He was very worried about me, so although he agreed with my idea, he didn’t let me start as a soldier, he meant to let me be a lieutenant general, which not only exercised courage, gained insight, but also ensured my safety.”

"That's fine, I thought King Liao would not agree!"

"Why didn't you agree? When I told him about it, he was even ecstatic. He always thought that I was not courageous enough and I needed to experience it. He also told me what was in his heart, if I If I don’t make this request myself, he will make it after two months. It’s just that my kung fu and art of war are not good enough, and I need experienced seniors to give guidance before I enter the camp.”

"Oh?" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows, "Are the experienced seniors the two old generals?" Seeing Yelulan nodding with a smile, she sighed, "That's fine, find something for them to do, it can ease the pain." Their sad emotions will not be cranky."
