Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 849

After Ah Liang finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, they all thought of Jiaping Guancheng more than ten years ago.

Because of years of wars, although Jiaping Pass City is called a city, in fact the city walls and gates are dilapidated, the gate guards are useless, and people of all colors can mix into it, so that after Shen Jiajun was transferred to Jiaping Pass City, , It took quite a long time to clean up the spies and spies of various countries. Although it took a lot of effort, there are still fish that slip through the net. It is a bit regrettable to think about it.

Except for those with ulterior motives, the city is also full of fish and dragons. Many wanted villains and fugitives gather here. They live wantonly in such a place close to no one, making the already chaotic town even worse.

Shen Cha has lived in such an environment full of despair and death since she was a child, and she is used to seeing life and death as her own. , and even children of her age would disappear as soon as they said they would disappear. They would go out in the morning and might not be able to come back at night, and they would go to bed one night and leave this world quietly the next morning.

Shen Cha sighed softly. Later, according to their statistics, almost half of the people died of starvation or freezing due to lack of food and clothing.

The situation of the current Yiqing Mansion and the current cities and counties of the Kingdom of Jin is probably not much different from that of Jiaping Guancheng in those days. Especially Yiqing Mansion has been besieged for several days, and the food in the city is decreasing day by day. A big family, even a royal palace, can't last much longer.

Shen Haolin kept staring at Shen Cha, and he knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder. Those days are over, and life will get better and better in the future.

Shen Cha smiled at him, expressing that she was fine, but suddenly felt sad when she heard A Liang's words.

Although Song Jue and Bai Meng didn't experience it personally, they can also imagine how bad the current situation in Yiqing Mansion is.

"Is the situation in Yiqing Mansion still under control?" Song Jue looked at A Liang, "Did any disturbance occur because of the siege?"

"The first few days were indeed very chaotic, and there were also some incidents of vandalism and looting. They didn't dare to rob the shops of Xia Shang and Liao Shang. They mainly targeted those Hu merchants, but they didn't get any cheap. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen by Hu merchants."

"They..." Several people looked at each other, and they were a little dumbfounded, "Are they out of their minds, why would they think of robbing Hu merchants? With that physique, they can beat them?"

"In Yiqing Mansion, there is actually an unwritten rule, because in the past few years, the Kingdom of Jin has repeatedly been defeated by Da Xia and Liao, and the shops of Liao Shang and Xia Shang have enough thugs, so Well, those bastards and rascals in the Kingdom of Jin will not attack them easily, but the Hu merchants are different. Sometimes they are more peaceful. After all, they are far away from their own homeland. If something goes wrong , and there will be no one to rescue them in time, so they can avoid causing trouble, try not to cause trouble." A Liang shrugged, "It is precisely because of this that the bastards and rascals left an impression of being easy to bully. Once something happens, Hu merchants and their shops are the targets of their attacks."

"But this time I kicked the iron board." Bai Meng sneered, "Stupid! With the Huren's physique, he can beat them both with one fist."

"Who said it wasn't? They were beaten hard this time, and they didn't dare to provoke the Hu merchants again. As for the Xia merchants and Liao merchants, they wanted to snatch them, but before they got there, they were surrounded by a row of heavily armed men in front of the shop. The thugs were scared back." A Liang spread his hands, "In the end, it can only be dog bite dog."

"Take yourself?" Seeing Ah Liang nodding, Bai Meng shook her head, "Wanyanping doesn't care?"

"Of course it's in charge, but it's only to catch a few leaders, and it's not possible to put all the troublemakers and fighters in prison. Besides, she also knows very well in her heart that as the time of being trapped in the siege gradually gets longer, The lack of food in the city will become more and more obvious, and these shops will always be doomed. At the beginning, we had already moved out the half of the street where she sent her subordinates to set fire to it, thinking, When the most difficult time comes, these can last for a while.”

"How is Wanyan Ping's situation now? Can she survive?"

"It's okay to hold on for a while, but it's the end of the battle." Ah Liang sighed, "Especially during this time, I'm in a daze, I eat very little, sleep very little every day, sit In one place, you can stare at the sky for a long time in a daze."

"And then? How does she respond to the current situation?"

"She often said that the people who besieged the city were a group of mobs, not to mention the outsiders, even those from Wanyan's family. They still had a grudge against each other, and there were many interests involved. She had already sent several groups of people to Sowing dissension has achieved certain results. Within Wanyan's family, although most people oppose Wanyanping, there are still many people who are optimistic about her. The reason why they joined the forces besieging the city is just to follow the crowd That’s all. If this group of people can win over some vacillating or neutral people, the day when the current confrontation can be changed will not be far away.”

"Wanyan Ping is really... no matter what the situation is, she never forgets to continue playing tricks." Shen Cha raised her eyebrows lightly, "That's fine, the more chaos Yiqing Mansion and Jin Kingdom are, the better it will be for us."

"However, she also said that the real opponent is not the mob outside the city, not Daxia and Liao, but the person who once supported her behind her back, but now wants her life. It is also this person, In order to warn her to think twice, the dead were sent to attack the palace in the dead of night."

"Have you seen this person who wanted her life?"

"No." A Liang shook his head lightly, "There is such a person after my subordinates, but every time Wan Yanping receives some strange people, people will drive us out and prevent us from getting close. Her study. Once, I ventured to take a peek."

"Discovered?"

"That's not enough." A Liang shook her head lightly, "I just saw a black figure, that person was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, and I'm afraid that others will see some clues from it. But..." She thought about it Thinking, continued, "I heard Wanyan Ping ask him if the lord is in good health recently, and if he still can't sleep. The person said, everything is fine, please don't worry about it, General Ping, and take care of the things you have to explain. That's the most important thing. That person's tone is very condescending, with a slight accent."

"Accent? Where's the accent?"

"I don't know if it's because my subordinates are homesick. It sounds like the accent of Jiangnan, soft and waxy. It's very kind to hear such an accent in a foreign country."
