Jiapingguan Chronicle

Shen Haolin and Ying Bao are the type of people who are very good at both riding and walking. They have almost no weaknesses. If you want to nitpick, it might be that their endurance is a little bit lacking, but it depends on the person. Their endurance is much stronger than most people, but it is indeed much worse than that of Shen Cha, who is good at lurking and squatting.

But sparring is not about endurance, it still depends on real kung fu, so the two men discussed it and decided that since Shen Cha had bet 1,000 taels of gold, in order not to waste the 1,000 taels of gold, they might as well fight both on horseback and off the horse, so that the 1,000 taels of gold would be worth it.

Shen Cha stood nearby and listened, feeling a little itchy. She had been busy reconciling accounts for some time, and was so busy that she felt dizzy and dizzy. Otherwise, she would not have slept so soundly that she would not even notice the rain at night.

Although she had no missed days of morning and evening classes, morning and evening exercises, she still wanted to find someone to have a good fight with. She turned around and looked at Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng, who were also eager to try and even started to move their bodies.

As for the other generals of the Shen family army, their faces were full of "I want to come too". Shen Jiu, Xia Jiu and Song Qiyun who were squatting on the side also looked at him eagerly, indicating that they wanted to try their skills.

Shen Cha suddenly felt a little headache. If things continued to develop in this way, a round-robin battle would be inevitable. If that was the case, it would be somewhat unfair to Eagle Leopard.

Before Shen Cha could figure out a clue, Prince Hui Xia Chen and Lu Shengyuan heard the news and came over. Both of them looked very excited. Of course, it was Lu Shengyuan who showed great interest in participating, while Xia Chen was the one who was cheering on the side.

When Shen Cha saw Xia Chen, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He dragged Xia Chen to a less crowded place without saying anything.

Shen Haolin looked at the two people who ran to the side to talk, raised his eyebrows slightly, and knew a little bit what Shen Cha wanted to ask Xia Chen.

Although Xia Chen is their elder brother, he loses in terms of seniority. In terms of age, although he is not as old as their master and uncles, he is much older than them and knows more about many past events than them.

"Hey, Xiaocha, Xiaocha, if you pull your seventh brother's arm again, he will be pulled down." Xia Chen was dragged to a secluded corner by Shen Cha without any resistance. After standing firm, he approached Shen Cha with a playful smile and said cheerfully, "Why are you so secretive? Do you suddenly feel that your brother is better than that blockhead Haolin and want to confess to him?"

"Seventh brother, it's because you're so dishonest that you can't find my Seventh Sister-in-law now, right?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow at Xia Chen and said with a half-smile, "How about I write a letter to the Queen Mother and ask her to arrange a few more appointments for you?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Xiaocha baby, I was wrong, let me go!" Xia Chen's brain almost exploded when he heard this, and he quickly admitted his mistake, "Then why did you drag my brother here?"

"Does Seventh Brother have any recollection of what happened between the musician and Concubine Hui?"

"I remember." Xia Chen sneered, "But there is an inside story to this matter, it's not like what is spread outside." He looked around and said in a low voice, "The musician is actually Concubine Hui's lost brother, but for various reasons, he dare not recognize him."

"You know that too?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "How many other people know about this?"

"The ladies in the palace and His Majesty all know about it." Xia Chen looked at Shen Cha's expression and said with a smile, "From the look on your face, you know about it too, right?"

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded, "The musician back then is now in prison."

"I heard about the Ke family and the opera troupe." Xia Chen rolled his eyes. "The people in the Empress Dowager's family are so eager for quick success and quick profit. They will do anything to make money."

"Aren't you surprised?" "What's so surprising about this? Not at all." Xia Chen snorted and looked at Shen Cha, "Is this what you want to ask me?"

"No, what I want to ask is, Concubine Hui and the musician were so willing to conceal their identities, one was castrated, and the other disappeared quietly in the deep palace, are they..."

"You want to know if you made a deal with His Majesty and the Queen Mother, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Xia Chen sighed and said, "You've asked the right person. I guess apart from me, few people know."

"Did you really make a deal?"

"Indeed, they hid their true identities and would rather bear the stigma, just for one thing." Xia Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, "They want your Majesty and the Queen Mother to swear that they will eradicate the Qinglian Sect and make the real murderer behind the Qinglian Sect pay the price."

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother agreed?"

"Yes!" Xia Chen's expression was very serious. "This is what we are supposed to do. Revenge for one person is also revenge. Adding more victims will not have much impact on us. Instead, it will increase the evidence of the Qinglian Sect and Master Falian's crimes, right?"

"That's right." Shen Cha thought about it and nodded gently, "There's one more thing I need help with, Brother Qi."

"what's up?"

Shen Cha talked about checking the account books, and then looked at Xia Chen.

"Xiao Fengqi, Qi Zhifeng, I are not good at this, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. What I reported to His Majesty were only the people and shops involved. As for how much silver was involved, there was only an approximate amount, not a specific amount. I need to ask Seventh Brother for help. I am afraid that we cannot sort it out in a short time with just the few of us."

"That's no problem." Xia Chen nodded. "I'm idle anyway, so it's good to find something to do. Otherwise, it's boring to always joke around with Second Grandpa, play chess and cards."

"Thank you in advance, Brother Seven." Shen Cha smiled, and seeing Xia Chen's eyes drifting towards the training ground, he couldn't help but have some bad thoughts, and said, "Brother Seven, don't you want to get out too?"

"Why, do you look down on your seventh brother?"

"I wouldn't dare to do that. Brother Seven is the master of the vast ocean, I wouldn't dare to underestimate him. But this competition is not like sailing on the sea. Your skills on land can only protect yourself. If you want to fight the Eagle Leopard, it may be difficult."

"I just wanted to make some noise. It was Lu Shengyuan who hurriedly dragged me here when he heard that we were going to fight the Eagle Leopard." Xia Chen smiled and said, "I just thought it would be fun to watch, so I ran over to have a look." He looked in the direction of the training ground, "Now it seems that if we don't have a fight, it might not end well, right?"

"Indeed." Shen Cha nodded, "Let's do it, a martial arts competition in the ring, it's popular!" (End of this chapter)
