Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2459 Reconciliation 1.0

The soldiers that Bai Meng brought from Xijing City, together with the soldiers brought by Yingbao before, were to be placed in a prepared camp. The camp could accommodate nearly 5,000 people and had a small training ground that could be used for daily training.

When Eagle Leopard arrived at this camp for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh. He really should let those brainless old men in the Ministry of War see what it means to truly care about the soldiers and truly think about them. With such treatment, any soldier would be unwilling to leave or betray without a particularly important reason.

However, he changed his mind and thought that if those bastards from the Ministry of War came, the entire Shen family army would probably be reported. After all, those bastards were the last ones to see this scene.

"They can't control us, whether it's the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, or the Censorate." Xia Jiu heard Yingbao's worry and chuckled, "First of all, with Xiaoyun and I here, they can't use any excuse to slander the Shen Family Army. What's more, Brother Haolin and Sister Xiaocha are both royal relatives, and they are both royal family members. They can't do anything. Secondly, the Shen Family Army never asks the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War for money. Every year, our military pay depends on ourselves. All our expenses are directly reported to His Majesty, and they can't get any handle on us." He looked at Yingbao, patted his shoulder, and said, "It's the same as your Eagle King Army. It's directly under His Majesty, and no one can do anything to us."

"I heard the prince mention it before, and I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Of course. In fact, this method was proposed to us by my uncle and the master, and it was approved by my grandfather and father. In this way, the royal family can have a force that belongs only to them, and they don't have to look at the attitude of the Ministry of War at all."

"That's right." Yingbao nodded, "That's how we prepare for a rainy day, those people in the Ministry of War."

"It's not worth giving too much trust." Xia Jiu sneered and looked at Shen Jiu who was silent beside him, "What's wrong?"

Shen Jiu shook his head gently. He was just a little sleepy. He had trained with his men until midnight yesterday and now he felt a little sleepless.

Xia Jiu looked at the two big dark circles under Shen Jiu's eyes and shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard bursts of horse hooves sounds coming from afar. They looked at each other and walked towards the entrance of the camp.

They didn't have to wait long before they saw a large group of people coming. Walking in the front were Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian and Xia Chen, followed by Bai Meng, Song Qiyun and others.

Eagle Leopard stood on tiptoe and squinted his eyes. Through the gap between Bai Meng and Song Qiyun, he vaguely saw their little prince slowly following Wanyan Xi. Seeing his face still painted black, he finally felt relieved.

"What are you looking at?" Xia Jiu also imitated him and stood on tiptoe to look, but saw nothing. "What's there to see? Tell us, so we can take a look too."

"You'll know in a moment, don't get scared then." Eagle Leopard sighed deeply and said, "Let's go, they're coming."

Xia Jiu and Song Qiyun looked at each other, not understanding what he was talking about, so they could only follow the Eagle Leopard to meet him.

After the two sides met, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business.

"You are familiar with this place now. Please help me arrange the arrangements with the brothers I brought with me. It's up to you to arrange it in any way you like."

"Okay, Commander-in-Chief."

"Come to the big tent to find us after you've made the arrangements. We'll be waiting for you there." Bai Meng looked around and said, "Don't worry. He must be staying at the Duke's Mansion. You can visit him anytime."

"Okay!" Eagle Leopard nodded and said goodbye to Bai Meng. When he passed by Song Yaojia who had been disguised all the way, he smiled at him and said in a low voice, "Young Prince, long time no see." Song Yaojia didn't say anything, just nodded, smiled at him, and followed Bai Meng away.

Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu, who were standing not far behind Eagle Leopard, looked curiously at Song Yaojia who was leaving with Bai Meng, and then looked at each other.

"Looks a little familiar."

Hearing Xia Jiu's words, Eagle Leopard shrugged helplessly, looked back at the two of them, and waved at them.

"Hurry up and follow him. You will know who he is when you get to the big tent."

The two people felt it was a bit strange, but they also felt that what Eagle Leopard said was right, so they hurriedly followed.

After leaving the camp, Song Yaojia finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gently squeezed the horse's belly, urged the horse forward, and strolled between Bai Meng and Xue Ruitian.

"Hey, you..." Xue Ruitian found that there was one more person around him. He wanted to get angry and wonder which guard was so bold. But when he turned around and saw Song Yaojia's face, he was stunned for a long time and said, "You..."

"What's wrong with me, little Tiantian?

"Although I looked familiar and didn't know when I had seen him before, I knew who he was when I heard that disgusting name!" Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes and asked unhappily, "Why did you come here instead of staying in Wangxin Town to accompany the two old people?"

"I'm here to help you!" Song Yaojia shook his head proudly. "Although I'm not good at martial arts and can't help you fight, I have no problem reading the account books, especially the tricks commonly used by Jiangnan merchants. I'm quite familiar with them."

"Your Highness the Eagle King and the Dai Prince will let you out so easily?"

"How can you talk like that? What do you mean by let me out? I am an adult after all. I can go wherever I want, right? Although I am not strong, muscular, or particularly good at fighting, I am still capable of going out alone. Why don't you trust me?" Song Yaojia patted Xue Ruitian, "Besides, I have you guys by my side, so my personal safety will definitely not be a problem."

Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu, who had just caught up, heard their conversation and widened their eyes in surprise. They looked at Song Yaojia very seriously, but when they saw his current appearance, they couldn't recognize him at all.

"What's wrong with you two?" Seeing his two younger brothers stunned, Song Yaojia reached out and touched his face. "Isn't it just a little darker? Don't you recognize who I am?" He snorted. "You two are worse than Haolin and Xiaocha. I didn't even say a word, but they recognized me."

Shen Cha heard Song Yaojia's words in front, rolled his eyes helplessly, and turned his head to look at Song Yaojia.

"Brother Yaojia, your unique temperament cannot be concealed no matter how much black you put on."

"And the guilty look on your face when you were exposed." Shen Haolin continued, "These are all unique to you, so it's easy to be recognized."

Song Yaojia didn't say anything, but just pouted her lips in disgust and walked towards Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu, seeking their comfort.
