Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 63 Making the Game 1.0

"Brother! Brother!" Shen Cha patted Shen Haolin who was lying on his lap, refusing to move for life or death, and softened his voice, like coaxing a child, and said, "Let's go back and go back to sleep, shall we?"

"Oh, good!" Shen Haolin yawned, sat up slowly, stared blankly at the front, and murmured, "Maximizing the benefits, I thought of a possibility just now, Yelu said no He will definitely throw that hot potato to us, and say righteously that this is the beginning of a friendly exchange between the three countries for us, and we should cherish it, or else it will be a waste of his hard work, and we will never be sorry for him. Yes. Based on what I know about Yelu, he did such a shameless thing very calmly, as if it was real."

"That's right, Yelu can do it, but Wan Yanxi has to agree, doesn't he? The reason why this guy took all kinds of risks to ask Yelu for help, isn't it because he is wary of us? He is afraid that we will make some small moves in the middle. Let him fight like chickens and eggs, and he can't get anything!" Shen Cha pulled Shen Haolin up, put a thick cloak on him, and said, "Besides, what he has been preaching is that Liao and Jin should use various means to form an alliance, Unify the fronts of the two countries, share the same hatred, and jointly deal with Daxia. Therefore, after so many years in exile, he would rather go to extremely dry and hot places like Tubo and Huihe, or Duan's smoky and humid places. Never stepping into Daxia. Obviously we are the closest country to Jin, and the easiest place to collect the latest news of Jin, right?"

"It also makes sense." Shen Haolin nodded, stretched out his hand to put the hat on Shen Cha, and said, "But this is his own wishful thinking. Yelu's ambition to annex Jin has long been unable to cover up. I know. I still say the same thing, seeking skin from a tiger, the ending is destined to be tragic. Now that Wan Yanxi has delivered it to the door, the surrounding countries have probably received the news, and they are all waiting to see the excitement!"

"Boss! Hey, I didn't notice, the marshal is awake! Just now I ran into Lord Hou, they said that the marshal was asleep, and my subordinate Hai was worried that he would wake you up!" Ying Shiba jumped in from outside the tent, and walked towards the second The man bowed and said seriously, "I just received the news that the borders of Tubo, Huihe and other countries have changed, and heavy troops have been sent in, and all passages along the border have been blocked."

"Look, what am I talking about? These guys around, every one of them is stupid." Shen Haolin spread his hands, pulled Shen Cha and walked out of the big tent, and Ying Shiba followed suit. "The fight is usually lively, but at the critical moment, everyone has a tacit understanding, and the actions taken are the same. The border is sealed off, and we are ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. In this way, we all thank Wan Yanxi, who is plain and A boring year is coming to an end, and at this time, we have prepared a big drama for us, and it is really well-intentioned."

"Brother is very good at mocking others now." Shen Cha stopped, turned around and asked Ying Shiba, "Have you sent the letter?"

"Yes, if there are no accidents, it will be delivered to His Majesty tomorrow. Boss, don't worry, it won't delay the business."

"Okay!" Shen Cha smiled, and supported Shen Haolin to continue walking, "Go to the dining room and talk to Master Hou and the military adviser. We are going back. If they have something to do, they can go to Huqiu to find us. Also, find someone to check Tell me about the situation of the three children who are helping the kitchen in the dining room, the more detailed the better."

"Yes." Ying Shiba replied, "Marshal, Boss, this subordinate will retire."

"What are they doing?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Isn't Jin Miaomiao really planning to take on apprentices?"

"It should be true, and a decision has been made, otherwise, she would not be so interested in those three children. It is a good thing for us that she has taken in an apprentice. If you want to eat something, you don't have to ask the big Master. Moreover, she learned from Master Huilan. Before becoming a monk, Master Huilan was a famous doctor and poison doctor. He was also a well-known chef in the Jiangnan area, and his family also opened a restaurant. family property."

"Xiwenlou, I know. I have heard the master say a few times before that it is their family's business. At first, it was Jiangnan cuisine. Later, after he took over, he focused on medicinal cuisine. However, medicinal cuisine is limited in supply and needs to be booked in advance."

"When you were young, you didn't want to eat when you were sick. Only the master's medicinal diet can take a few mouthfuls." Shen Haolin touched Shen Cha's head, "Fortunately, there is a master, otherwise, I would die of worry."

"I still remember chatting with the master at that time. He said that his cooking skills are all inherited from his family, and he is better than his father and grandfather's skills. Therefore, people in the family are very optimistic about him and think he can Become a generation of famous chefs, and spread the name of Xiwenlou throughout Daxia, and even other countries. However, the master is more interested in medical skills, poisons, etc., but in order not to disappoint his family, he still takes his due responsibility. responsibility. After Wenxi Tower became famous in the Great Xia, he became a monk and concentrated on studying the things he likes."

"If I remember correctly, the master seemed to have just turned 20 years old when he became a monk."

"That's right, this is particularly shocking." Pushing open the door, a warm feeling spread all over his body, Shen Cha thanked the sisters Mei Lin and Mei Zhu who came back early to prepare the charcoal basin and hot water, and asked them to go back Resting, took off his cloak and hung it on the hanger by the door. "Ever since Miao Miao found out about his master's glorious past, she was so beaten for several days that she couldn't cheer up at all. During that time, what she said the most was that a genius is a genius, no matter what you learn If you can do it well, you can become a leader.”

"Have you forgotten what your father said about the master?" Shen Haolin hung up his cloak, took off the clothes he went out, walked to the washbasin and washed his face, took out the cotton robe he wore at home from the closet, and The heavy tea ones were also taken out and placed on the soft couch. "Father once said that the master belongs to the level of evildoers. He has a good style in everything he learns, and he may be able to master it, draw inferences from one instance, and even more."

"What other people learn in one month, he can finish it in half a month. This makes me really admire. If it were me, one month may not be enough, it may be longer. No wonder the master Said, my aptitude in some aspects is too poor." Shen Cha wiped his face with a veil, and chuckled, "I used to think that the master would put me in the category of simple-minded and well-developed limbs go among the people."

"Isn't it?" Shen Haolin walked over holding two teacups, put them on the small table next to the soft couch, and waved to Shen Cha, "In the eyes of the master, as long as he is a general, no matter how big or small his official position, no matter whether his military achievements are Zhuo Zhi, they are all warriors with no brains. He thinks that our smart calculations are all used on how to defeat the enemy, but when we really need to use our brains and show our ingenuity, he is like an idiot."

"It's our responsibility, just how to arrange our troops has consumed all our energy, so we will naturally ignore other things." Shen Cha knelt on the soft couch, looked at the heavy snow outside, and sighed , "Calculating the time, Master should have already left. I hope he can arrive on time without being affected by the heavy snow. Brother, should we send someone to meet him?"

"Your master has such a temper, if you send someone to pick him up, he won't be happy." Shen Haolin took Shen Cha's empty teacup and put it on the small table, let her lie on his chest, smiled wryly, "Chaer , I think that what you should care most about now is not your master, but me."

"What's wrong, brother?" Shen Cha sat up, leaned over and touched Shen Haolin's forehead, "Did you just lie in the big tent and was blown by the wind? Did you have a headache? How about I call Miao Miao over?" have a look?"

"No, it's not because of physical discomfort, but because I'm a little worried." Shen Haolin hugged Shen Cha into his arms again, and patted her on the back, "The deputy commander came here to inquire about the crime, unless he shows mercy and let me go A horse, otherwise, my current body probably won't survive the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. But... Maybe it's not that bad, there should be a turning point."

"Brother, you mean Uncle Yan?" Shen Cha huddled himself into a ball and rubbed against Shen Haolin's arms, "If you can untie the knot between him and Master, brother has also made meritorious service. Redemption. But it is not easy to achieve this. Besides, we are still juniors, and it is not easy for us to intervene in the affairs of the elders, right?"

"There is nothing good or bad. The happiness of the elders is the most important thing. But Yan Bo was tight-lipped about what happened that year. Even if we chatted about your master, Yan Bo didn't have much emotional fluctuations. Once, I thought He gave up Deputy Marshal Qin, but after thinking about it, he himself is a master of disguise, and it is easy for him not to be noticed by us. So, for a while, I observed carefully and observed a lot I finally found out the first time, she still can't help showing her missing for the deputy commander, but only for a moment, when we think about it and look back, he has already looked as usual. I have seen it once or twice , but at least it convinced me that Bo Yan still has feelings for the deputy commander, and the deputy commander is also the same."

"What do you want, brother?" Shen Cha closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Yan Bo's mouth is so tight that most people can't pry it open. Those shadows, including us, are in the eyes of his old man. They are all fledglings that have not yet grown up, and his old man is an old fox who has gone through hundreds of battles. There is no chance for a fledgling to win against an old fox."

"That's not necessarily the case. The old fox has the shrewdness of the old fox, and the young bird has the calculations of the young bird. It is impossible to say who will win in the end. Besides, the old man is getting older every day, and he misses the past more and more. Yes. If we make a game and make him happy, maybe he will let go of his guard and is willing to talk to us about what happened back then."

"This is a matter of careful calculation, at least not to be noticed by him beforehand, and not to make him vigilant." Shen Cha yawned, "I can't handle this kind of thing, it's you and Brother Xiaotian strengths, you guys go discuss it!"

Shen Cha suppressed his drowsiness, and managed to finish his words, not knowing what Shen Haolin said later, and fell asleep in a daze.
