Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 512 Waiting For Him

Hearing Shen Cha's words, Shen Jiu was taken aback for a moment. The part of his memory that he deliberately ignored slowly began to recover, and those good times when he was a child resurfaced before his eyes. The promise that he would teach him to ride a horse and take him to hunt The figure of the younger brother also became more and more clear from vagueness as the memory awakened.

When Shen Jiu was still very young... when he was only three or four years old, he was basically in a free-range state. His parents were busy building the Jiaping Pass City, leading troops to fight, and taking care of the Duke's Mansion and Hou Mansion. , the old and the young in the Shen family army, and his older brothers and sisters were either training hard to go to the battlefield as soon as possible, or they were lingering on the sick bed, fighting against the disease.

The adults in the family couldn't count on it, but they didn't forget that there was still a child who needed company, so they found some children who were about the same age as Shen Jiu from the Shen family army, and a bunch of little beans were placed in the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion every day, Shen Jiajun was tossing around on the school field.

And among this pile of beans, Yeluheyi is the one who plays best with Shenjiu. He is the first one to show friendliness to Shenjiu. Talk to him in the room, and he will always appear by Shen Jiu's side.This was also the reason why Shen Jiu had a particularly deep impression on him.

The two of them spent nearly a year of happy time together, and they had many little secrets unknown to outsiders, including the thing Shen Cha said about learning how to ride a horse.

However, on the second day after making this promise, Yeluheyi left without saying goodbye. Shen Jiu waited in the house for a day and a night, but he never waited for his little friend. In the end, he had to admit that this little friend His brother abandoned him.

However, he didn't give up. He asked his father, brother and sister many times, but he didn't get a clear answer, but everyone told him that if the two of them were destined, they would see each other again in the future.

Unexpectedly, ten years have passed since this farewell, and the two of them are also standing in positions that they don't understand at all. They are both allies and rivals.

"The person you have been thinking about all this time is right in front of you, but you don't even recognize him. It seems that you miss him very much!" Seeing his younger brother's expression, Shen Cha knew that he had remembered, so he stretched out his hand and tapped him lightly. Desktop, "Happy or...angry?"

"Not at all, I just found it very strange." Shen Jiu recalled Yelu Heyi's appearance, "It seems that he looks different from when he was a child, so I didn't recognize him."

"You are different from when you were a child, but he recognized you at a glance." Shen Cha stretched his waist and rested his head on Shen Haolin's shoulder, "Aren't you always brooding, why didn't we tell you His whereabouts, are you also complaining why he didn't say goodbye to you? Now that he has appeared in front of you, I can tell you whatever you want to know. "

"Did he leave at that time because he was going to work with Yelunan?" Shen Jiu raised his head, looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, "Brother, sister, have you already started arranging your own people since then? However, at that time, he was still very young and had no experience at all. If there was any mistake, wouldn't he have lost his life in vain? You...you don't..."

"Are you too cruel? This is wronging us. We are not such cruel people. Even though these children are candidates for the shadows, we never thought of letting them take risks so early." Seeing that his brother was in a hurry, Shen Cha was not annoyed, and explained slowly, "This is his own choice, he came to us on his own initiative."

"But... why?" Shen Jiu was puzzled, "Is he not a few years older than me? What can he do at that age?"

"Three years old. Being young has the advantage of being young. He knows everything. Once he becomes Yelunan's confidant, he will suspect no one of his brothers who grew up together." Shen Cha sighed, "You know him You and Xiao Min are brothers, right?"

"Of course I know that!" Shen Jiu nodded, "Half-brother, Xiao Min is very dependent on his brother. I also asked him where his brother went, but he didn't tell me, you... Are you in collusion?"

"Why are we colluding with this? You were so young at that time, and you were so stupid. Let me tell you, you couldn't figure out what was going on, so I simply didn't tell you anything." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "You know He and Xiao Min are half brothers, so do you know what kind of person his mother is?"

"Probably... I know that, and I also heard from Xiao Min. Xiao Min's mother is a stepmother, and his father's first wife is Yeluheyi's biological mother. It is said that his mother was originally from Liao, the daughter of an ordinary family. Jiaping Guancheng, who escaped from the disaster, went to the battlefield with everyone, and died of serious injuries."

"That's right, do you know why a Liao man wields a knife at his compatriots?"

Shen Jiu shook his head lightly, he was not very clear, he had asked Xiao Min, but his brother avoided talking about it.At that time, Xiao Min's expression was not very good, it seemed that he was taboo about this question, so he didn't pursue it further.

"Because more than [-] members of his mother's family died at the hands of that old Liao king." Shen Cha sighed heavily, "When the old Liao king was young, his favorite thing to do was to conquer those poor, helpless people." A small and helpless tribe. On that day, the tragedy fell on the tribe to which his mother belonged. His mother was hidden in an inconspicuous cellar by his family, listening to the wailing of his family and clansmen, holding her tightly Keep your mouth shut and don't let yourself cry out. The old Liao king and his Liao soldiers enjoyed the conquest and didn't check carefully. Instead, after satisfying their killing, they walked away with the so-called spoils. His mother was afraid that they would kill a carbine, so she waited until midnight and took advantage of the darkness to escape. Her purpose was only one, to escape from this terrible place, to escape from Liao Kingdom."

"So the so-called escape turned out to be like this. The old Liao king really deserves to die, sister did a good job!" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Shen Jiu also sighed, "A lot of Liao people ran to us to seek refuge, It seems that the situation is similar to this. When those Liao people mentioned the old Liao king and his soldiers, they were full of resentment. The little brother is the same. Xiao Min said that he has something on his mind, and he thinks about his mother every day. To take revenge on my mother's family. So, is that why he wants to be a spy?"

"This is his mother's last wish." Shen Cha nodded, "Before he left, he told us, including Xiao Min, not to tell you about him. He was afraid that you would worry, and hoped that you would grow up happily."

Shen Jiu didn't speak, just curled his lips and lay down on the table.

"If you want to see him and reminisce about the past with him, your wish can be fulfilled." Shen Haolin stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Cha into his arms, "However, you should think about whether you should do this, it will be harmful to both of you." Is it all right?"

"No, I don't recognize him, it's better to stay like this." Shen Jiu shook his head firmly, "Since he doesn't want me to know, then I'll go along with him and act like I don't know anything!" He raised his head to look at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "It's just that it's okay to tell me about it? Will it affect your plans?"

"It doesn't matter, you won't say it." Shen Haolin smiled, "Your Brother Xiaojing also knows."

"He's a military adviser, he should know it." Shen Jiu leaned back again, "Actually, it's quite good, the brothers don't have to be separated, they are all in the same place, and occasionally they can meet each other when they are free. But, When will he leave Yelunan and return to his real home?"

"I don't know this yet, but one day, he will come back."

"Okay!" Shen Jiu's voice was muffled, "Then I'll wait for him to come back and let him explain to me himself. Everything he promised will be fulfilled!"
