Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 667 Doubt

Jin Miaomiao calculated the time when they would come back, and when they received the notification from Shadow, they had already prepared ginger soup and hot water. When they entered the door, without saying a word, each of them poured a bowl of hot ginger soup first, and then bowed their heads to go Take a hot bath.

"Go to sleep, there are a few small night duty here." Seeing Mei Lin leave, Shen Cha sat beside Shen Haolin wrapped in a thick blanket, took the medicine bowl from Jin Miaomiao opposite, and frowned slightly , "The color of your medicine is getting stronger and stronger, and the taste is getting more and more bitter."

"The good medicine is bitter." Jin Miaomiao stared at Shen Cha and frowned and poured down the medicinal soup. "Although I haven't expended a lot of physical strength these few days, I have spent a lot of mental energy, right? I told His Highness King Ning this afternoon. If so, let me tell you once again, overthinking is a taboo for recuperation."

"The enemy is currently facing internal and external troubles. It is impossible not to waste your mind." Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder, "I can only rely on you during this time!"

"If you count on me, you will listen to me carefully. If you are not good..." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at the two tired and crooked guys on the opposite side, "Although I can't beat you two in terms of force, this is Xijing. There are many who can control the two of you!"

"You've learned badly, how come you've learned how to find a backer!" Shen Cha rubbed his head on Shen Haolin's shoulder, "Miao Miao, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Jin Miaomiao lay on the table and looked at Shen Cha's expression, "If you want to ask, just ask, why are you still hesitating?"

"I'm a little embarrassed. I think that if I say this, you will definitely laugh at me and say that I am bewildered and too whimsical."

"Say it first, and then decide whether you want to laugh at you after listening." Jin Miaomiao raised her chin, "Who is it related to? Or is it related to something?"

"Is it related to the entourage of the old general Xuanyuan?" Shen Haolin tilted his head and glanced at her, rubbed her head, and said with a smile, "Do you think he looks a bit like the old Tantai patriarch?"

"Brother also saw that portrait?" Seeing Shen Haolin nodding, Shen Cha sighed, "I know that there are many people with similar appearances in this world, and besides, there is a big difference in age between these two people. Back then, Ping Chuan Even if the adults survived, they are now two hundred years younger. Not to mention being a guard who jumps up and down, even walking is trembling and needs help from others. So, I know that my idea is quite unbelievable , but... the guard gave me the feeling that he was a special elder."

"A special elder?" Shen Haolin and Jin Miaomiao looked at each other, "What kind of description is this?"

"Hmm..." Shen Cha closed his eyes, and recalled the last time he saw the accompanying picture, "That is, the eyes looking at me are very kind, full of kindness. I can only see that kind of eyes in the eyes of elders." I've seen it."

"Hearing what you said, I suddenly remembered." Jin Miaomiao touched his chin, "Do you still remember that we went to have a showdown with old general Xuanyuan? During the whole process of our visit to the old general, he was not far away. Although he couldn’t hear what we were saying, he could see what we were doing clearly. I think he might be worried that we would do something too radical and hurt the old general, so he stood guard around. At that time, I thought, this is a very conscientious guard."

"And then?" Shen Cha looked at her, "What did you see him do that impressed you?"

"I accidentally saw the way he looked at Xiaocha, full of love and pity. I thought it was my own illusion, and then I pretended to turn around casually to make sure I was right." Jin Miaomiao changed his posture, "Then For a while, I felt that maybe he had been with old general Wanyan for a long time, and was influenced by the old general, so he unconsciously regarded Xiaocha as a junior."

"I thought so too, so I didn't take it to heart, but seeing the portrait of Tantai Pingchuan made me doubt."

"You don't suspect that he is Tantai Pingchuan, do you?" Seeing Shen Cha blinking slowly, Shen Haolin and Jin Miaomiao shook their heads at the same time, "How is it possible? Absolutely impossible, if he is Tantai Pingchuan, he is a An old monster? It’s scary to think about it!”

"Let me just say it, you will definitely laugh at me!" Shen Cha pouted, "Actually, I also think that I dare to think too much, this is simply impossible." She sighed, "Maybe It's really like what you said, he just looks like Tantai Pingchuan, and he has been with the old general for a long time, so he treats us like an elder!"

"Hey, don't get into a dead end, we still have to investigate based on the existing clues, don't be attracted by these side details."

"What brother said is true!" Shen Cha closed his eyes, "I'll squint for a while, and wake me up when the commander comes."

Shen Haolin readily agreed, but when Shen Cha fell asleep and fell asleep, he picked her up and moved her to the bed in the inner room.

Walking out from the inside, I saw Jin Miaomiao staring at the table, drawing circles on the table with her fingers, wondering what she was thinking.

"Thinking about what?" Shen Haolin sat down and poured a cup of tea for Jin Miaomiao, "Isn't he thinking seriously about what Cha'er said?"

"The little box that Xiaocha brought from the Liao Kingdom was given to her by my uncle, and it is my master's relic inside." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at Shen Haolin, "You know that, right?"

"Yes, what's in there?"

"There is a book of local customs in it, which records some legends of various places." Jin Miaomiao tapped the table lightly, "There is a chapter in it that says a man went climbing a barren mountain, stumbled and fell to the bottom of the mountain. A strange person saved him, and the medicine given to him not only restored his health, but also kept him young forever, just..."

"Same as the brothers from the Niu family?"

"There is still an essential difference." Jin Miaomiao shook his head, "The brothers of the Niu family just age slowly, but they will still grow old. The life span is the same as that of ordinary people, or even shorter. But this is different. Yes, the so-called longevity is a piece of cake for them. Their appearance is the same as when they were young, and they don’t know when they will really grow old. Unless accidents, their lives are endless and endless .”

"What do you mean, you suspect that the same situation is true for General Xuanyuan's entourage?"

"This is just a legend in Fengwuzhi. No one has verified this, so it can't be used as evidence." Jin Miaomiao waved his hand, "If Xiaocha didn't mention it, I wouldn't remember it. If there is a chance in the future, I can try him. But I'm not very knowledgeable, so I may not be able to try it out."

Before Shen Haolin could speak, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, the door of the room was pushed open, and Bai Meng appeared in front of them sweating profusely.

"Drop it!"
