Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2535 Reconciliation 77.0
When Shen Cha received the news sent by Song Jue on an express horse, it was more than half a month after she sent the secret letter. During this half month, she was looking forward to the news arriving sooner every day.

During the half month that she was waiting for news, some interesting incidents occurred in Jiaping Pass.

For example, all the generals above the rank of captain in the Shen family army went to watch the daily training of Eagle Leopard and Bai Meng in turn, and held meetings of various sizes after returning, combining Eagle Leopard's content with their own content, developed new training methods, and began to test them in their own camps.

At the beginning, the soldiers of Shen's Army were not very adaptable to the new training method. They had to get up half an hour earlier every morning and run ten laps around the entire Shen's Army camp with weights. Then they would disperse, wash up, and eat breakfast.

After breakfast, except for the soldiers in charge of patrolling, everyone else in each camp carried out routine daily training according to the requirements of their direct generals.

After lunch and a short nap, several camps began to engage in friendly martial arts exchanges.

Although they had such exchanges between the camps in the past, they were not very frequent. The Shen family army held such large-scale competitions every year, twice a year, without fail, but there might not be more than that. After all, they had many wars before, especially in the past year or so, there were serious internal strife in Liao and Jin, and they had no energy and time to harass the border of Daxia, so they had more leisure time.

During the past half month, there were more competitions between camps, and the overall level of the soldiers improved a lot, but the number of ghost howlings every day also increased a lot, and more people went to see doctors.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha have been living in the camp during this period. They not only train with the soldiers, but also train with Eagle Leopard. They can feel the changes in their soldiers at the first time.

However, what surprised them was Wanyan Xi. When Wanyan Xi was in Xijing City, he had always trained with the imperial guards. The imperial guards who escorted him to the border this time were also those who were familiar with him. Due to confidentiality, they could not participate in the daily training of General Eagle Leopard, but they trained on their own and trained harder than anyone else.

Shen Cha thought Wanyan Xi would howl like everyone else, but he didn't. He persevered through it all and remained very stable.

She went to find Wanyan Xi and asked him if he was too tired and if the daily training was too strenuous. Wanyan Xi shook his head calmly and told her that if he really wanted to avenge his parents and brother, if he really wanted to sit on the throne of King Jin, this little bit of suffering was nothing.

Shen Cha came back and repeated Wanyan Xi's words to Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng, and their vigilance suddenly increased a lot.

"If he can be so cruel to himself, he will be even crueler to others, especially those who have seen him in such a miserable state. He will be merciless. Besides, we are already enemies. We are only united now because our interests are aligned. We have formed a so-called alliance. When he is fully grown and no longer needs other allies, it will be time for us to turn against each other."

Shen Cha and Shen Haolin thought the same thing. The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. If these things no longer exist, it would be like letting others sleep peacefully beside your bed. Therefore, we must be on guard against such people who are willing to endure hardships, because who knows when they will bite us back.

Bai Meng also agreed with Shen Haolin's statement. He discussed with Xue Ruitian and strengthened the surveillance of Wanyan Xi. However, this time they borrowed people from the Shadow Camp from Shen Cha. Those people were responsible for surveillance. As long as they targeted someone, they would not be discovered or escape. It was best to use them on Wanyan Xi. Xiao Fengqi and Qi Zhifeng were also wary of Wanyan Xi. They secretly looked for Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian to remind them that they must not relax. This person was definitely not as simple as he looked.

They asked the two people why they had such thoughts, and found out that since Wanyan Xi reconciled with the two people, he had spared no effort to persuade them to accept his reconciliation conditions. The conditions seemed very good, but the two people always felt it was a trap. Later, they took Wanyan Xi's conditions to ask the three masters and Yan Bo, the two elders who had the most dealings with the Jin people, and got a definite answer. The border towns that Wanyan Xi wanted to give them would be hot potatoes in anyone's hands, even if they were the Jin Kingdom, it would be a headache.

"This kid has ulterior motives, don't be fooled by him."

Shen Cha thanked Xiao Fengqi and Qi Zhifeng for their reminder, and once again reaffirmed that they must never relax their vigilance against Wanyan Xi.

The days passed in this kind of vigilance and busyness. They received a secret letter from Song Jue in great anticipation. When she learned that Song Jue and the Queen Mother wanted them to send Mian Bai and the troupe back to Xijing City and have the palace take care of their resettlement, she breathed a sigh of relief. This hot potato was finally thrown away completely.

No matter what other people think, in their eyes, Mianbai is the cousin of Concubine Hui and a real royal relative. If Concubine Hui were still alive, she would have to call him uncle of the emperor.

Although Concubine Hui is no longer with us, Mianbai has suffered a lot because of this relationship, but now the truth is out and his identity has been spread in a small circle. Shen Cha can't really treat him as an ordinary person and deal with him casually.

Although princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as common people, the decision as to what crime to charge them with still has to be left to His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

Therefore, after receiving Song Jue's secret letter, Shen Cha finally put his mind at ease and began to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for the troupe headed by Mian Bai on their way to the capital, and also arranged people to escort them.

Although these things are very miscellaneous and tedious, Shen Cha is still very happy.

While she was arranging people to handle these matters, she was whispering to Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian. It must be said that the old ones are still the most experienced and they still know what is the most appropriate method.

The reason they said this was because they had talked with Mr. Jiang and Mr. Yan before, and they didn't know how to treat Mian Bai. If this person was not handled properly, there might be a lot of trouble.

Master Jiang and Yan Bo suggested that they send the person back to Xijing City and let His Majesty and the Queen Mother deal with it. This would be the right thing to do. However, they were a little hesitant, thinking that it was too troublesome. After all, there might be some twists and turns along the way. But after thinking about it for a long time, they couldn't think of a second suitable way. So, under the advice of the two elders, they sent an urgent message to Song Jue over a distance of 800 miles. On the surface, it was to inform them of this, but in fact it was an opportunity to test them and see how they should deal with Mian Bai.

Unexpectedly, the reply they received was the same as what Mr. Jiang and Yan Bo had expected. Song Jue and the Empress Dowager directly asked them to send the person back to Xijing City. They felt relieved at this moment. They had to quickly send this big trouble away and successfully send it to the palace. Only then could they be completely relieved.
