Jiapingguan Chronicle

Shen Cha was lying on the bed. After listening for some noise outside, she slowly sat up. She was not in a hurry to go out. She stretched her body on the bed, stretched her arms and legs, and felt much more awake. Then she put on her home shoes, wrapped herself in a blanket, and walked out with footsteps.

When Shen Haolin heard some rustling noises coming from the inner room, he knew that Shen Cha had woken up, and pointed to the large robe that had been prepared earlier towards Merlin.

Merlin nodded, picked up her robe and walked towards the inner room. Before she got there, Shen Cha had already opened the door.

When Shen Cha came out, he saw Merlin coming towards him with a large robe in his hand, and without saying a word, he wrapped himself tightly in it.

"What's the point of this?" Shen Cha saw Shen Haolin's eyes and sighed helplessly. She could only give up resistance and let Merlin torment her. "Did you sleep well, brother?"

"Not bad. I didn't get woken up a second time."

"That's something worth celebrating." Shen Cha smiled, yawned, looked at Ying Wu, and said, "Did Mian Bai solve it?"

"This kind of thing naturally needs to be solved by him as the boss. No one else can do it. However, Mian Bai has been in the palace for so many years and is really capable. He solved it in no time." Ying Wu didn't know that Shen Cha had heard their words in the inner room. He simply repeated them and said, "They couldn't solve it before, probably because they didn't understand our attitude. Otherwise, they would have taken action long ago. A little guy like Xiaotong who likes to push his nose and face will be beaten up and stopped."

"Is his injury okay?"

"It's okay, it just hurts, and it's just preventing him from escaping." Ying Wu looked at Shen Haolin, "I forgot to mention it just now, Mian Bai wants to ask the Duke and the Boss for permission for something."

"what?"

"Don't treat Xiaotong's injuries. Just give him a little painkiller, but don't let him get better so quickly."

"Does he want Xiaotong to go to Xijing City with pain?" Seeing Yingwu nodded hesitantly, Shen Cha disagreed, "Will this cause him to have a chronic illness? It doesn't matter whether my brother and I agree or not. Go ask Miaomiao if this is possible. If it is, then we agree. But if she says no, then we..."

"Okay, I'll go ask later."

"If that doesn't work, let Miaomiao think of a way. If that doesn't work, we still have our uncle in the Marquis's Mansion. He is very shrewd and knowledgeable. He will definitely find a way."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Shen Cha smiled at Shen Haolin and said, "Brother, please sit down for a moment. I'll go wash up and come back in a moment." She took two steps, turned around, and said, "Think about what to eat for breakfast, and ask Xiao Linzi to get it later."

Shen Haolin nodded, and watched Shen Cha take Meilin out of the bedroom and go to the next room to wash up, and sighed softly. "Duke?" Ying Wu didn't know why Shen Haolin suddenly became sad. He looked at Shen Haolin with a puzzled look on his face.

"In a few days, we won't be so relaxed." Shen Haolin looked at Ying Wu, "Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready, we just need the right opportunity." Ying Wu also became a little sad. "However, we need an excuse or an opportunity. We can't just send out troops without anything happening. This would not only be unreasonable, but also make us look extremely overbearing."

"It's easy to find an opportunity, but the key is how to push Wanyan Xi out." Shen Haolin took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of dessert, took a bite, and chewed it slowly. "What's Wanyan Qingmu's situation now?"

"I received news from Apia and Black Commander a few days ago that Wanyan Qingmu is still under the control of Yiting Yixiu and the others, but..."

"Just?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Just what?"

"I don't know what Yi Ting Yi Xu meant. He has been bringing Wan Yan Qing Mu to Yi Qing Mansion frequently recently, and even taking him to the busiest places, exposing Wan Yan Qing Mu to everyone's eyes. Now everyone knows that he is still alive." Ying Wu sighed, "The boss said that if this happens a few more times, we should be able to find an opportunity."

"Hasn't there always been a rumor in Yiqing Prefecture that Wanyan Qingmu's life or death is unknown?" Shen Haolin thought for a moment, "This way, they are telling everyone that he is not dead, but is still alive, but he is in their hands, so that Wanyan Qingmu's supporters can behave themselves and not do things they shouldn't do." He sneered, "Calculating the time, the poison in Wanyan Qingmu's body should break out."

"That's about right. Without the antidote, he might die." At this point, Ying Wu suddenly looked at Shen Haolin, "Could this be our chance? But Yi Ting and Yi Xiu are our allies, right? They..."

"What happened to them?" Shen Cha, who had already finished washing up, listened at the door. When she pushed the door open, she yawned and said, "They are not our allies. They are Wanyan Xi's helpers. If we can take the opportunity to cut off one of his future arms and replace it with ours, we can avoid a lot of trouble, right?" She walked behind Ying Wu, pressed his shoulders, and stopped him from standing up. "Sit down, don't get up and down, don't you feel tired?"

"Thank you, boss!"

Shen Cha sat down next to Shen Haolin, poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips, and said, "Although Wanyan Xi is very obedient to us now and promised that there will be no war as long as he is around, things are unpredictable. No one can guarantee what will happen after he becomes the King of Jin, especially after Jin has recuperated and strengthened its national strength, will he think of attacking Daxia again? It's hard to say, so, just in case, we have to place our own talents."

"But Commander Hei and Ishbu are both military commanders. They are now guarding the palace and inner city. We don't have any military commanders stationed at the border."

"Wanyan Xiaomei!" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow. "With Wanyan Xi's temper, he would not tolerate Wanyan Qingmu, Wanyan Ping or Wanyan Xiaomei. Maybe in the first few years after he ascended the throne, he would allow their existence. After all, they are all relatives with the same blood. If he targets them right away, the elder nobles and elder tribes of the Jin Dynasty will definitely turn against him. Therefore, the current situation will not change in a short time. Wanyan Xiaomei's people will still be stationed on the border, but in no more than ten years, they will be replaced by Wanyan Xi's own people one after another. When they are all replaced, it will be time for him to take action. And we must take this opportunity to arrange our own people to go in while rescuing Wanyan Xiaomei's people. If Wanyan Xi breaks the contract and wants to attack Daxia again, these people will be our best cards."
