Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2458 Posthumous child

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Jin Jing and Merlin walked slowly to the front of the main group, looked at the few people who had finally ended their "battle", then looked at Wanyan Xi who saluted them obediently and Dai Yi who had been following Wanyan Xi, and finally the four of them looked at Song Yaojia who had smeared his face quite black.

Song Yaojia felt that he was hiding quite well. At least along the way, Xia Chen in front of him and Song Qiyun behind him did not notice him. Maybe he could hide it from Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian. However, he did not expect that he would be recognized as soon as he arrived at the place and before he could even say a word.

Seeing several people staring at him, Song Yaojia's eyes were evasive. He looked at Bai Meng, who was also a little panicked, for help, asking him to say something to save himself.

"Um." Bai Meng received Song Yaojia's signal and rushed over, saying, "Haolin, Xiaocha, and Xiaojing, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time since we last met." Shen Cha gave Bai Meng a half-smile, "The commander-in-chief seems a little panicked?"

Bai Meng walked up to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, stretched out his hand to pull them, and whispered, "It's not appropriate to do this in public. Let's go back and talk about it."

"Okay." Shen Haolin glanced at Song Yaojia and made a cryptic gesture, "Since you are here, follow us!"

Bai Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and asked curiously, "Hey, where's Eagle Leopard? Didn't he come with you?"

"He's having a good time with Xiaoyun and Jiu'er, so he won't come over." Shen Cha glanced at Song Yaojia behind him, sighed softly, and said, "When we get to the camp later, Brother Xiaobai will bring your people and go directly to the mansion with us."

"Got it." Bai Meng nodded and looked at Song Yaojia who was riding a horse and following slowly behind them. "Don't blame him. He came with Eagle Leopard and said he could help you."

"I know. Those shops and account books all depend on Brother Yaojia." Shen Cha nodded, looked at Song Qiyun who was hugging Xue Ruitian and Xia Chen, sighed softly, and said, "How is he doing recently?"

"Not bad, I haven't been affected at all." Bai Meng snorted, "How is Old Lu? Did Eagle Leopard take action?"

"With us here, how could he possibly do it?" Shen Haolin patted Bai Meng, "They are all adults now, they should solve their own problems by themselves. Even if you are protecting them or are disappointed with them, you can't interfere in this matter."

"Of course I know!" Bai Meng rolled his eyes. "Don't I understand such a simple truth? I was thinking, if Eagle Leopard can beat him up and wake him up, won't he stop worrying about it?"

"Your method doesn't work." Shen Haolin smiled. "Old Seven has taken over. When things here are over, let Old Lu and Old Seven go out to sea. It will be more effective than your beating."

"Let Old Seven take charge?" Bai Meng thought for a moment. "That's fine. No matter what, after this incident, he is no longer suitable to lead troops. If he is allowed to go to the battlefield again, his knot will only get worse. Moreover, the longer it drags on, the harder it will be to untie it."

"Indeed." Shen Cha sighed and led everyone around a corner, "This way."

"We didn't think that his knot was so stubborn before. We all thought he had gotten over it." Shen Haolin looked at Bai Meng, "This is our fault. We were negligent."

"It has nothing to do with you. He developed this character because of..." Bai Meng sighed, "The relationship between Grandpa Lu and Uncle." "What's going on?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Why?"

"You know how the two uncles of the Lu family died, right?" Seeing Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nod, Bai Meng sighed again and said, "The two uncles died because of protecting the emperor. In their opinion, it was a worthy death. After all, as guards, it was their duty. Although the two Lu uncles did not get married, the youngest one already has someone he loves, and the person he loves is three months pregnant. Grandpa Lu and Uncle Lu only found out about this when they were arranging the funeral for the two Lu uncles."

"What? There is a posthumous child?" Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng in surprise, "What's going on?"

"I don't know the details. My grandfather never told me. I only know that the girl came directly to my uncle's house and said that she was pregnant with my uncle's child. She also had a lot of witnesses and material evidence to prove that she and my uncle were really together."

"Wait!" Xue Ruitian, who had been listening nearby, came over and whispered, "Could Old Lu be the posthumous child?"

"That's right!" Bai Meng nodded. "That year, Uncle Lu's wife also had a child, but the child was not born, so the posthumous child happened to be..."

"Just become Uncle Lu's child?"

"Yeah!" Bai Meng sighed, "And Uncle Lu's child died because of the revenge of the remnants of the previous dynasty, so Old Lu is the only one in his family."

"The only descendant, right?"

"Yes, so Grandpa Lu and Uncle Lu were very strict in educating Old Lu. In order to avoid the revenge of the remnants of the previous dynasty, they used my family's connections to bring him to the border."

"Does he know his own background?"

"You probably don't know?" Bai Meng hesitated. "I don't know about this. Not long after he was born, he followed his family to the border. At that time, I wasn't born yet. I was introduced to him by my grandfather when he followed Uncle Shen and Uncle Xue back to Beijing. Later, I lived in the border for a year and had many interactions with him. But this kind of relationship will not lead to deeper discussions. However, before my grandfather left, he also asked me to take good care of him and not let anything happen to him. I agreed. But..."

"You haven't thought about the fact that he is so much older than you and you don't know how to take care of him, right?"

"That's right." Bai Meng nodded. "Doesn't this give me a chance? But..." He shrugged. "It's still not working."

"It's not that bad. Letting him leave his current environment and change his life can be regarded as fulfilling your promise to Grandpa Bai. It's just..."

"What?" Bai Meng looked at Shen Cha, "Old Lu is not happy?"

"He is happy to make this decision. He has already moved out of the camp. He is not happy with you, Brother Xiaobai. He thinks you want to punish him because you feel sorry for Xiaoyun. So, he is still very dissatisfied. What he means is that if you want this purpose, you might as well go and fight him."

"This guy!" Bai Meng raised an eyebrow, "Then I will do as he wishes and beat him up!"
