Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 617 Too Difficult

Coming out of Daiwang's mansion, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Bai Meng took Mei Lin and Meizhu back to the Duke's mansion. Along the way, they were all thinking about King Ning, and the more they thought about it, the more they couldn't figure it out. It's shrouded, and I can't get out no matter what.

"The prodigy who solves the case, the virtuous king, who is desperate for righteousness." Shen Cha sighed heavily, looked at Shen Haolin, and then at Bai Meng, "Put these words together, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who will seek power and usurp the throne. A person who will plot evil."

"It can also be seen from the attitude of Dai Wangye that he is not a mad person, otherwise, Dai Wangye will still put him on the top of his heart if he does not come back." Bai Meng blinked at the two people, "You pay attention Are you there? When it comes to His Royal Highness King Ning, the son's expression is not very good."

"Commander, you don't understand this. From the eyes of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Ning is someone else's child." Mei Zhu smiled and moved to Bai Meng's side. It is the children of other people's families that many elders say, and the children of those elders' families have always hated our father-in-law!"

"Xiaozhu, you're wrong. I really understand His Royal Highness's feelings." Bai Meng patted herself, "I'm the one who hates your father-in-law. I remember when I was very young, my grandfather always said, You look at the children of Shen Guogong’s family, you look at them, they are better than you everywhere, literature is first, and martial arts is also the first. Look at yourself, although you are not bad, but you don’t want to make progress, can you? Instead of going out to fool around every day, can you use those thoughts on serious things?" He spread his hands, "Look, the conflict between me and your father-in-law is not just a day or two, but accumulated over time since childhood. It’s just that I have a good temper, so I don’t really care about it, otherwise, I would have beaten [-] times a day.”

"Hit eight hundred times?" Shen Cha hooked his lips, "Commander, are you sure you can beat my elder brother?"

"Xiaocha, life is full of difficulties, so don't add trouble." Bai Meng sighed, "Actually, His Royal Highness is not a narrow-minded person, otherwise, he would not speak for His Royal Highness King Ning. It's just that King Ning Your Highness...we really should go and see him and find out why he is willing to bear such a bad name."

"Didn't I say it, for the sake of the so-called righteousness."

"Haolin, do you believe it?"

"I don't know, I haven't encountered it myself, so I can't talk nonsense. But..." Shen Haolin pondered for a while, "Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

"Strange? It's very strange!" Bai Meng nodded to the patrol team coming towards him, and turned to let them pass first, "His Royal Highness Ning Wang, old Mrs. Wu Dinghou, and even the Empress Dowager who was implicated, Your Majesty and us , there are still a lot of people we know and don’t know, who seem to be trapped in a maze by something. This maze is winding, false and real, true and false. Once we accidentally fall into The trap, if it is light, it will be imprisoned like His Highness King Ning, and if it is serious, it will be like the old Madam Wu Dinghou who lost her life."

"I think so too. As far as this game of chess is concerned, we are both the holders and the pawns. It depends on how we should go next." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha who was thinking, "What are you thinking?"

"What kind of shocking secret would lay out such a big game of chess? This secret involves not only our generation, but also the previous generation, the previous generation, and even counting up. Maybe there is no clear relationship. Thinking about it now For a moment, the late emperor, empress dowager, father, mother, Uncle Xue, Aunt Xue, and several older uncles, they seem to have never been really happy, really happy." Shen Cha looked at the two people around him , "Have you two ever felt this way?"

"It's true when you say that." Bai Meng stroked his chin and recalled, "Before my grandfather passed away, apart from what he told me, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. "

"Father and mother are the same, as well as Uncle Xue." Shen Haolin also added, "He hesitated to speak, I thought they were worried about us, and promised them that they would take good care of tea and wine, and take good care of Shen Jiajun. Guard Jiaping Pass City and never let foreigners step in. But thinking about it now, it seems that they are not worried about this."

The three of them looked at each other and sighed at the same time. The more they investigated the case, the more delusional they became, and they became more and more clueless.

Ever since Shen Haolin and Shen Cha returned to Beijing, Bai Meng rarely went back to his Grand Commander's Mansion, either staying in the palace or setting up camp in the Duke's Mansion.

This is also Song Jue's meaning, Bai Meng lives here, lest some unscrupulous guys come to the Duke's mansion to make trouble.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha welcomed Bai Meng to live here, and specially prepared a yard for him to make him live more comfortably.

"There were too many people on the street just now. There are some things I can't say." Entering the study, Shen Cha took off the outer cloak and handed it to Mei Lin. He went to wash his hands first, and said while washing, "The late emperor Before he died, he specially called us, Your Majesty, Qi Yun, and Xiao Jiu to his side, and told us some heart-to-heart words, do you remember, brother and commander?"

"Remember, it's quite meaningful, and I haven't figured out what it means until now."

"Don't be bound by fate, be brave enough to break free." After washing his hands, Shen Cha sat down at the tea table and began to make tea for everyone, "Don't you think this is not the usual style of the first emperor? In my impression In the past, the first emperor never said such a thing.”

"Don't be afraid of difficulties, and move forward bravely." Shen Haolin nodded, "Such vigorous and resolute words really do not conform to the late emperor's gentle personality."

"It is because of this that I have always wondered why the late emperor left such a passage at the end." Bai Meng smiled bitterly, "However, it seems that the late emperor has expected that we will be involved in it, so he will be involved in it." Warned us at the last moment. But are these adults going too far? Now that we have been involved, since they know that we must be a member of this network, they can't talk to us openly? Do we have to investigate, do we have to go back to their old ways?"

"It's not like going back to the old way!" Shen Cha gave Shen Haolin and Bai Meng two bowls of tea soup and handed them over, "The direction they investigated at the beginning is definitely different from ours now, and they may think that our direction is the only way to go. That's right, so, want to see how we end up, if it's like them."

"What if we fail?"

"And our next generation, sooner or later, someone will break through this net. Looking at it this way..." The three touched each other lightly with their tea bowls, and said in unison, "It's really not easy for us!"
