Jiapingguan Chronicle

“It’s a good idea, but it’s still difficult to implement.”

"That's for sure. We are unfamiliar with the place." Shen Cha nodded. "However, Wanyan Xi is just like us. Although he is the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, he has been away from his homeland since he was a child. I'm afraid he doesn't know what Yiqing Prefecture is like now. Although he has many supporters, those people may not speak to him from the bottom of their hearts and will not really do things according to his instructions."

"That's true." Shen Haolin nodded. "People seek benefits and avoid harm. If Wanyan Xi's ideas and actions harm the interests of these people, no one will support him. Instead, it will cause him some trouble. This will be beneficial for us to do something in the middle."

"Although we are unfamiliar with the place, we are very familiar with the two uncles, right?" Shen Cha gave Shen Haolin a wicked smile, "They will always help us, won't they?"

Shen Haolin shook his head helplessly when he saw her like this. Just when he was about to say something, he heard two cooing sounds coming from the direction of Shen Cha. Seeing her covering her mouth in embarrassment, he rubbed her head and told Merlin to go to the small kitchen to see what breakfast was today, and to take a little more of each, just enough for four people.

"We're not going to the flower hall today?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin curiously, "Miao Miao and Xiao Ye Zi are not here?"

"They are all in the camp. General Yingbao conducted a surprise attack drill last night. I asked all the officers and soldiers of the Shen family army to watch." Shen Haolin saw Shen Cha's expression and couldn't help but flick her forehead with his hand. "I remember Xiaotian, Xiaomeng and I all told you about it. General Yingbao even came to you to report it. You agreed. Why have you forgotten it now?"

"I really forgot. There have been too many things to do these days." Shen Cha sighed softly, "You are all busy preparing for war, and I am the only one left to take care of the affairs of the Qinglian Sect. Xiao Fengqi, Xiao Qi and I checked the list of shops that have dealings with Liao and Xia. Their account books are piled up like this.
"She stretched out her hand and gestured, "It's so thick, and every transaction is very outrageous. The actual transactions are completely different from what is recorded in the account book. Just sorting out these things will make our brains explode."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Shen Haolin reached out and rubbed Shen Cha's head. When Ying Wu saw the actions of these two people, he quickly raised his head to look at the sky, pretending that he didn't exist.

Shen Cha looked at him like this and shook her head slightly, but didn't say anything.

"How was the surprise attack?" She turned to look at Shen Haolin. "Was it a success?"

"Boss, it didn't work."

"Didn't it work?" Shen Cha was stunned. "Why? What else?"

"It rained heavily after nightfall yesterday, so everyone had to rest." Ying Wuyi spread his hands, "You didn't know?" Seeing Shen Cha shaking his head in confusion, he smiled, "So it seems that both of you slept well last night. You were not woken up by the heavy rain."

"It's raining?" Shen Cha thought for a moment, "I was wondering why the ground outside is so wet. I didn't hear anything last night." She took a sip of tea and felt a little hungry. She reached out and took a piece of peach cake, took a bite, and said, "Since we didn't do it last night, can we do it today?"

"It should be." Shen Haolin reached out and wiped the snack crumbs from Shen Cha's mouth, and poured her a cup of tea. "Do you want to go and take a look?" "Yes, to see if there is anything we can learn from." Shen Cha smiled. "Brother asked everyone to participate, isn't that also his intention?"

"Indeed." Shen Haolin did not deny his thoughts at all. He raised an eyebrow at Shen Cha and said, "Master sent the people here for us to see, didn't he?" He looked at Ying Wu and pushed the snack plate next to him. "In fact, the Shadow Camp can communicate more with the Eagle Leopard. Their scouts and spies are very powerful."

"My Lord, I thought so too, but..." Ying Wu smiled shamelessly, "Without the words of the Lord and the boss, we would not dare to do it, or we would be driven out by General Yingbao. Apart from anything else, I have already experienced the temper of this general when I was in Beijing. Although the situation was special at the time and there were some misunderstandings between us, he did not give us any explanation and just started to fight. Such a violent temper is rare. Fortunately, I did not embarrass our Shen family army and withstood his offensive. Otherwise, I might have been laughed at!" He snorted, "That's it. I went to the camp to find the boss a few days ago and ran into this general. He also made a few sarcastic remarks."

"Sarcasm?" Shen Cha finished a piece of peach cake and looked at the dessert plate. There was nothing she wanted to eat. She waved to Ying Wu and said, "You eat. I won't eat anymore. It's time for breakfast." She glanced at Ying Wu and said, "Why are you being sarcastic? Aren't you two supposed to fight if you disagree?"

"After all, there are a lot of people watching. It's fine if we just bicker. If we really fight, won't we be laughed at by everyone?" Ying Wu shook his head slightly. "It was just a brief bickering. There were no casualties."

"Bickering?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other. "Can you beat the Eagle Leopard? Among the generals under my master, if he considers himself second in eloquence, no one would dare to claim first place. In the past, when my master went to war, he was always the one responsible for challenging the enemy. His mouth" he shook his head slightly and said, "can piss off many people to death."

"I heard that he is very powerful, but we just had a relatively peaceful fight." Ying Wu smiled, "For example, I said the hot-tempered madman is here, and he said the one who almost became his defeated opponent is here, something like that, we just had a little fun and didn't say anything more." He looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, "Now that the Duke and the eldest brother have spoken, I will tell my second brother to find an opportunity to spar with them. We are all comrades, so we shouldn't hide good things, right?"

"Tell my second brother, I'll tell General Eagle and Leopard later, and you two can have a good fight."

"Thank you, Boss, and thank you, Duke!"

The three of them chatted for a while before Merlin came in with a few servants from the kitchen, carrying several large food boxes.

Only after the servant placed the breakfast in the lunch box on the table and left with the lunch box did Shen Cha look at Merlin.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

"Mr. Mo made pigeon soup for you and told me to bring it to you." Merlin placed the only soup bowl in front of Shen Cha. "Also, Mr. Seven just told me that Mr. Luan wanted to see you and said he wanted to atone for his crime."

"Boss Luan? Atonement for his crime?" Shen Cha sneered, "It seems that the news spread during this period has worked. He probably knows that Master Falian is already overwhelmed and has no way to rescue him. He can only choose to save himself."

"There is only one way for him to save himself." Shen Haolin handed Shen Cha a small meat bun and placed it on her plate. "That is to betray Master Falian and tell us everything he knows. Only then can he have a chance to survive." (End of this chapter)
