Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 468

Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu got up when the sky was just dawn, and they called the people in the mansion to get busy, preparing to go to the border of Xia and Liao to pick up people when the city gate opened.

Yingqi lived up to everyone's expectations, rushed to Jiaping Pass City the night before, returned to the Duke's Mansion, first visited Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, helped Shen Cha to say hello, and then went to meet Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu.

She never thought that she would not see Shen Haolin. When Xue Ruitian said that the Duke went to the border town of the Liao Kingdom alone, she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help sighing. The Duke is the Duke, this courage and courage , most people don't have it.At the same time, she was also very happy for her boss. It was a very, very good thing to have such a person by her side.As for how good it was, she couldn't say, but it was very good.

Xue Ruitian briefly asked about Shen Cha and Jin Jing's situation, knowing that they were both fine, he asked Ying Qi to go back to rest.

After waking up in the morning to wash and change their clothes, Xue Ruitian, Chen Jiu and Jin Miaomiao took Hongye, Yingqi and a dozen guards out of the mansion, and found a familiar breakfast shop on the street.

Xue Ruitian gnawed on the deep-fried dough sticks, looked at Jin Miaomiao, whose head was bit by bit, so sleepy that he almost fell himself, and shook his head helplessly.

"Why do you say you are doing this? We will pick it up, and you can just wait at home."

"It's been a long time since I saw Xiaocha. It's weird." Jin Miaomiao yawned, pushed the fried dough sticks in front of Hongye, and took a couple of sips of the tea soup in front of him. "Master Hou, go back and buy something to eat. It will arrive today, who knows when it will arrive. Grandpa Guo has gone to see Xiaocha, and I don’t know if I have seen it now. If I do, with the two of them dawdling, it would be nice to leave at noon Yes. Let’s go so early, nine out of ten we won’t be able to wait for anyone.”

"You, don't worry about it. Look at you. Without the red leaves, your face is going into the bowl. What did you do last night? Why are you so sleepy?" Xue Ruitian put his breakfast Eat clean, "I see that the lights in your room are always on."

"There is a prescription that I haven't figured out all the time, and ended up falling asleep on the table, and it's been a while since I opened my eyes."

"Then why are you coming out with us? You should have a good night's sleep." Seeing what Jin Miaomiao wanted to say, Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "Okay, you've already come out anyway, so it's useless to say anything else. I think Well, what you said just now was not quite right."

"What?"

"Xiaocha and Xiaojing have been staying in Liao Kingdom for how long, and now they must return home, and they won't stay longer. Even if they see Haolin's face, they will dawdle, and it won't be too late. Didn't Xiaoqi say Yes, the Yelu family still sent someone to send them here? They also have to be a little more cautious about others. I estimate that they will reach the border at about noon, maybe earlier. The city gate is not open yet, let's sit for a while, you have to be honest If you are sleepy, just squint for a while, and let Hongye call you when you leave."

Jin Miaomiao nodded, leaning on Hongye's shoulder and fell asleep.

After sitting in the early shop for half a stick of incense, the gate of the city opened, and Jin Miaomiao woke up, and the group left the city slowly, wandering around for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the border between Liao and Xia.

When the patrolling Shen family army and Liao soldiers saw Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu, they all stopped and saluted them.

"Deputy Marshal Xue, General Shen!" The corporal leader of the Liao Kingdom patrol team stood in front of Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu, "Please wait a moment, everyone, we have received the news that the Great Xia Mission has arrived from the border town an hour ago. Let's go, if there are no accidents, we will arrive in half an hour."

Hong Ye thanked the corporal leader on behalf of Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu, and ordered the accompanying guards to spread a thick woolen mat on the ground.

"We still have to wait for a while, or we can just sit and wait!"

"You and Miao Miao sit down, let's go for a walk!" Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu had their horses taken away, and the two walked slowly along the border.

"Leave them alone, they won't be at ease if they don't see anyone." Jin Miaomiao sat on the cushion wrapped in a thick cloak, tugging at Hongye's sleeve, "Let them go!" She reached out and stroked her chin , "I don't know how Xiaocha is doing now. She fell ill as soon as she arrived in Linhuang Mansion. I am also very worried."

"She will take care of herself, and there is no military adviser!"

"That's not what I mean." Jin Miaomiao waved her hand, "She has been injured and sick many times in the past six months. I'm worried that this girl's health has finally improved. It’s the original shape. Once it’s repeated, it’s not easy to get it back.”

"You, you are too cautious!" Hongye patted her on the shoulder, "I am not as pessimistic as you. I think you should have confidence in Xiaocha, and you must also have confidence in your master's medical skills and the medicine left behind."

Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "Maybe what you said is right."

The group of people waited for less than half an hour before they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from a distance. Everyone looked for the sound and saw the dusty "Xia" flying in the wind in that direction. The two banners of "Shen" and "Shen" appeared in their sight.

"coming!"

Jin Miaomiao and Hongye jumped up at the same time, causing the guards to injure the woolen blanket. The two of them consciously stood behind Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu.

The speed of the horse team was very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the border. When the carriage was stable, Xue Ruitian saw Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Jin Jing jumping off the carriage one by one.

"It can be regarded as coming back!" Xue Ruitian walked over and gave Shen Cha and Jin Jing a big hug, and looked them up and down, "It seems that the spirit is not bad, but Xiaocha has lost weight."

"Okay, this is not a place to talk, let's talk as we walk."

Back in his territory, Shen Haolin didn't need to pretend anymore, and got on the horse with Shen Cha and Jin Jing.

After finally waiting for his sister to go home, Shen Jiu couldn't care less about his brother's big black face, and refused to leave Shen Cha's side for life or death, so his eyes would grow on his sister's body.

"Looking at me like this, do I have flowers on my face?" Shen Cha felt amused seeing him like that, "I heard that you are not very good at home these days? Tell me, what are you messing about?"

"Where am I being misbehaved? My elder brother must have sued me." Shen Jiu glanced at Shen Haolin, whose face was so dark and shining like the bottom of a pot, and muttered softly, "My sister still doesn't understand me, I... ..."

Before he could speak, he heard Shen Haolin's cold snort, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

"Master Qi was quite disappointed that you failed to go to Cheng Linhuang Mansion. He asked me to bring you a lot of new gadgets, and I will give them to you when I go back."

"Okay!" Shen Jiu glanced at Shen Haolin again, seeing that he was still staring at him coldly, subconsciously shrunk his neck, "Forget it, I can't afford to provoke you, I'll talk to brother Xiaojing." After finishing, he hurried forward and ran to Jin Jing's side.

"Brat!" Shen Haolin snorted, "I'll send him to the barracks today!"

"Brother!" Shen Cha felt a bit of a headache, and quickly changed the subject, "You told Brother Xiaojing that those people were found, is it true? They have disappeared for so many years, why suddenly..."

"That business, if you do it once, there will be a second or third time. This is not a one-shot deal, they have to live, and that little money is not enough for those people to squander. The reason why we haven't heard from them for so long , because they are not active in the places we are concerned about. This time they were caught, it was their own death, and they insisted on jumping into the fire pit."

"What I'm talking about is that I didn't expect them to commit such a big thing. This is really His Majesty, and he didn't mention a word to us."

"You are also in the Longtan Tiger's Lair. After more than a month of fear, there is no need to let you continue to be frightened. Besides, this matter has to be brought to another conclusion before I can mention it to Xiaojing. Back then we only knew that he was missing for three days. But what happened in the past three days, if he doesn’t say anything, we have no way to force him, we can only start with those people.” Shen Haolin looked at Jin Jing in front of him, and sighed softly, “I hope we can untie him this time.” Let's have a knot in your heart!"

"Most definitely!"

What Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were talking about, Xue Ruitian was also talking with Jin Jing earlier.

"I am very convinced of the courage of this group of people. They really don't know what fear is, and they don't understand what fear is. They really dare to do anything and dare to move anyone!" Xue Ruitian sighed The tone said, "The little grandson of Uncle Jian's family, the youngest son of Mr. Chen's family, the little niece of Dr. Guanglu, Mr. Wei, etc., in half a year, more than ten officials and eunuchs in Xijing lost their children. If it wasn't for this time, Jane Uncle Wang is making a fuss in front of the imperial court, and Jing Zhaoyin is still suppressing him!"

"Jing Zhaoyin is really courageous, how dare you hide such a big matter?" Jin Jing frowned, "No, Bai Meng is the commander of the imperial army, didn't those who lost their children look for him? "

"Let's not talk about Uncle Jian, look at the people who lost their children. They have the nerve to talk to Bai Meng?" Xue Ruitian snorted, "Besides, these children are not lost together, but every now and then. The methods used are different, and no one can think of a piece. I still have to thank Uncle Jian Wang, otherwise... hey, these children would not come back. Even so, not all of them were rescued, a total of fifteen children , only twelve were found, and the remaining few were neither alive nor dead. Moreover, Bai Meng guessed that they had been studying in Xijing for three years, and there would be more than just these few children. No less. As for what will happen to those children now, huh..." He gave a wry smile and shook his head lightly, "I'm afraid it's more ominous than good."

Jin Jing was silent for a long time, spat hard, and couldn't help swearing.

"Damn it, a bunch of beasts, they should be cut!"

　The weather has been alternating between hot and cold recently, everyone be careful not to catch a cold!
