Chapter 2438 Bring a Message 101.0

"So that means..." Shen Cha blinked and looked at Mr. Jiang, "You admit it? You accept it? There won't be any trouble in the future?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

"Not exactly." Shen Haolin looked at Mr. Jiang, "What does this mean? Are you going to continue watching our performance when you get home?"

"Almost." Master Jiang nodded. "Although your master is the son of the previous Eagle King and has legitimately become the Eagle King's successor, she still has to go through many tests. In addition to their round-robin challenge, it also depends on his ability to command troops, deploy formations, and adapt to changes on the battlefield. She said that to become a true Eagle King, it takes a long time of training, including cooperation with his subordinates." He looked at Shen Cha, then at Shen Haolin, "Your test may be coming soon."

"This time?"

Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile, looked at the two people with confused faces, and said, "Qingruo is really tight-lipped. She refuses to tell you anything."

"Haven't you already told us? That's enough." Shen Haolin took a sip of tea. "When Master took over, he was probably confused. Only when he becomes the true Eagle King will he know all this, right?"

"That's about it. However, I told you in advance so that you can be prepared. When the time comes, just pretend you didn't know."

"Are you prepared?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other. "You mean, Xiao Baizi might bring Eagle King's troops to the border?"

Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.

"So that's how it is." Shen Haolin looked at Xia Chen, "You followed them out together, and you didn't even know about it?"

"How could I possibly know such a secret?" Xia Chen rolled his eyes. "I heard so many things tonight. It really opened my eyes. Besides, there are many things I shouldn't have heard. You guys are not going to kill me to silence me, are you?"

"Why would you want to silence your mouth?" Mr. Jiang chuckled and said, "Besides, many people know Qingruo's thoughts. If you really want to silence her, you have to kill them."

"That's true." Xia Chen nodded gently, "Why do I feel that the heir that the emperor's uncle prefers is not Haolin, but more like Xiaocha?"

"What's wrong with me? Why can't it be me?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Seventh Brother, don't underestimate me. I have members of the Shadow Battalion under my command. In this regard, I have an advantage over my brother."

"I'm not looking down on you, I just think Haolin is the disciple and the legitimate successor, right? But you also said that you have been leading the Shadow Camp for so many years and are very experienced, so it's appropriate to hand it over to you." Xia Chen yawned, "When the emperor's uncle hands his men over to any of you, it's like handing them over to the royal family in disguise." He sighed softly, "What a good plan!"

"This is not a trick. It is a pre-negotiated condition. The Eagle King's subordinates will eventually return to the royal family. But how, when, and to whom, this is something the royal family has to fight for themselves."

"In other words, it has to be someone they sincerely respect. You can't use your status to pressure others, right?"

"That's right." Mr. Jiang nodded and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. "You can understand, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin sighed, "Father and mother said a long time ago that the Shen Family Army does not practice so-called hereditary succession. If the descendants of the Duke's Mansion are incapable of leading the Shen Family Army, then they should find someone who is capable to lead it. The Shen Family Army is the line of defense to protect the royal family, not the private army of a certain person or family." "The Emperor's uncle also said this." Shen Cha looked at Master Jiang, then at Shen Haolin, "Grandpa Bai and my master said the same thing."

"Grandpa Bai? Who is he?" Xia Chen blinked, "Xiao Meng's grandfather?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, he sighed, "He is indeed such a person, but he is too stubborn, otherwise..." He waved his hand, "Anyway, the two of them are still single, the Queen Mother, His Majesty, and the rest of us will not stop them. If they can make a request, we will be happy to see it happen."

"It's up to them!" Mr. Jiang sighed, "This is not something we can decide."

"That's true." Xia Chen pouted in disdain, "You guys just think too much and too complicated. If it were me, if it was someone I liked, I would definitely hold on to him and not let go."

"You are still young and don't understand our thoughts. When you grow up, you won't think so."

"Forget it. I'd rather keep it like this. Simple kids like us can't fit into your complicated world, so there's no need to squeeze in. Watching you mess around is pretty good, too."

"Little?" Shen Cha snorted, "How dare you say that!"

"As far as his intelligence is concerned, he is indeed still young." Shen Haolin chuckled. "After returning from this trip to the sea, I feel that he has grown a lot. He was even younger before."

"That's true." Shen Cha looked at Xia Chen, "Didn't you say anything else? What plans does he have for his future?"

"What other plans do you have?" Xia Chen smiled bitterly. "There's not much time left, so just live the life you want!" He thought for a moment, "He asked me if I could keep my promise and take him with me next time I go out to sea."

"This should be no problem, but there is a prerequisite, he needs to get away from Master Falian." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Can he really get away?"

"If he is no longer useful, can we get away with it?" Xia Chen looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, "If he appears to be too weak, can he be abandoned?"

"Do you really want him to go with you?"

"If possible, I hope so." Xia Chen looked at Shen Cha, "Is there any way?"

"Indeed, there is, but I still need to discuss it with Miaomiao. She has more ideas in this regard." Shen Cha thought for a while, "But, whether he can go with you or not, and even if he travels around the world after he goes with you, it can't change his current fate, and his life span won't be extended because of it."

"He knows this very well. What's more, he wants to go out and have a look while he has only a few years left. When death comes, he won't feel any regrets." Xia Chen spread his hands. "In this case, we can't refute it."

"Indeed." Shen Cha exchanged glances with Shen Haolin and Jiang Erye. "Let's go back and ask Miao Miao to see if she has any solution. If we can make it happen, we will have accumulated some merit."
