Jiapingguan Chronicle

Yingshuang sighed softly, not knowing if it was due to his own fault. Sometimes, he really didn't understand Wanyan Xi's thoughts.

"What don't you understand?"

"Ah?" Hearing Shen Cha's question, Ying Falcon retracted his gaze from the ring and turned to look at Shen Cha, "What did the young master say?"

"I said, what don't you understand?" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows, "You don't understand why Wanyan Xi did this?" Seeing his shocked face, she explained, "What did you just say that you didn't realize?"

"I thought it was just a random thought, but I didn't expect to say it out loud." Ying Falcon smiled bitterly, "I don't know if it's my own problem, but if it were me, I would definitely not repay kindness with resentment, and I would definitely not do such a thing."

"Oh? If it were you, what would you do?"

"In fact, I have been wandering outside for so many years and have never come into contact with the nobles of Yiqing Prefecture. I don't know what their personalities are like. They support me only for the sake of my deceased father and brother, and Wanyan Yuwen. Otherwise, who would know who Wanyan Xi is? With so many internal troubles, you still want to make enemies outside and create some external troubles for yourself, putting yourself in a situation of internal and external troubles. I don't understand."

"So, you are not Wanyan Xi." Shen Cha took the teacup handed over by Merlin and stuffed it to Yingshun. "You don't understand Wanyan Xi's thoughts. If he really succeeds with our help, then he will have the final say in the Jin Kingdom. We can no longer treat him like this. We must salute him and respectfully address him as King of Jin."

"This," Falcon thought for a moment and said, "isn't it just a matter of appearance? He doesn't really think that he has the ability to step on our heads, right?"

"Yes, that's what he thinks." Shen Cha sneered, "Besides, we saw his most miserable and miserable side. With the Wanyan family's vengeful character, they definitely don't want such an obvious handle to fall into our hands. After they have their own power, they will definitely want to kill those who have seen his miserable appearance."

"Having my own power," Yingshuan sighed, "is just empty talk. Which of the nobles of Yiqing Prefecture and those generals who hold great power is easy to deal with? Which one can be manipulated by him? Could it be that he will make those who obey me prosper and those who disobey me perish?"

"What do you think?"

"Based on the short time I've been in contact with him, it's hard to guarantee that he's not that kind of person. Even if he's not, he's definitely the kind of person who'll take revenge right away." Ying Falcon raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Shen Cha, lowered his voice, and said, "Great Commander, and Xiao Yi, didn't my third brother tell you about what happened before we set out?"

"Before we left?" Shen Cha frowned. "Before we left Xijing City? What happened? No one told me."

"To put it simply, Wanyan Xi had a conflict with a child who shared his room." Yingshuan sighed and said, "Young master also knows that some of the Imperial Guards are descendants of nobles. Although there are many who do not have titles, more or less all of them have idle positions in their families. The child who shared a room with Wanyan Xi was the child of a lieutenant in the Patrol Battalion. Because the commander-in-chief also served as the commander of the Patrol Battalion, he used all kinds of connections to get the child in. Originally, the child had nothing in common with Wanyan Xi, but Wanyan Xi was about to leave, so he arranged for the child to live in his room. As a result, the child did not know who Wanyan Xi was, and when he saw him packing his luggage, he thought that he was incompetent and was kicked out of the Imperial Guards."

"And then he showed off in front of Wanyan Xi, didn't he?" "Young Master is right, that's exactly what happened." Yingshuan sighed again, feeling helpless with this kid. "I heard from Xiao Yi that he always showed up in front of Wanyan Xi whenever he had something to do. He would either tell him loudly about his family situation and tell him that those who have no connections should not dream of getting ahead. Or he would say something to Wanyan Xi, saying that he had finally gotten in and he shouldn't give up so easily. As long as he begged him, he would probably say something good for him and ask the commander-in-chief to be less ruthless."

"So?" Shen Cha frowned and glanced at Bai Meng who had come over at some point in time. "When did you come? Did you hear everything?"

"I just arrived and heard you two talking about me behind my back." Bai Meng sighed, "It's not a big deal. That kid didn't follow my path, but my deputy general's. He hasn't completed the normal procedures, so he's not one of us. Wanyan Xi always listened happily and didn't refute, but you know that if a child is quiet, he must be making trouble. He only made trouble three or two times, and suddenly the child found my deputy general and cried and shouted to leave."

"Ah?" Ying Falcon was stunned after hearing Bai Meng's words. He and Shen Cha looked at each other, and then looked at Bai Meng at the same time, "Can you just leave like that?"

"According to seniority, my deputy general should be called uncle by that kid."

"How do I remember?" Ying Falcon looked at Bai Meng, "your deputy general is not very old? He is only about twenty years old?"

"He is indeed young, but his generation is really great." Bai Meng spread his hands helplessly, "However, the relationship between the two families is not close. They are already five generations apart. Most importantly, they don't interact much. I don't know how the child's father got around this relationship and asked him to send his child here. Unfortunately, he hit a wall and caused a big disaster."

"What did Wan Yanxi do?"

"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, pretending to be a ghost to scare people." Bai Meng sighed and said, "He had been asking Xiao Yi about this kid's situation before. I knew he was going to do something, so I kept an eye on him. I didn't expect this guy to do this." He spread his hands towards Shen Cha and said, "I didn't expect this kid to be so brave when provoking, but he was afraid of ghosts. He was scared to death after a little revenge from him."

"This is what it means to be honest and not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door." Shen Cha chuckled, "This kid obviously likes to bully others on weekdays, so he treated Wanyan Xi like this. He deserves the revenge."

"But judging from this incident, Wanyan Xi is indeed a member of the Wanyan family. He has perfectly inherited the character of never giving up even the slightest grudge."

"That's right." Bai Meng nodded. "So, from that time on, I became more cautious. I was observing along the way and told Xiao Yi to keep an eye on him secretly to see what he did. As a result, after he dealt with the kid, he stopped doing it. But even so, he revealed his true character and gave us time to be on guard against him."

"Indeed." Shen Cha thought for a moment, "But if we keep staring at him like this, with his vigilance, he should be able to sense it soon, so there is no point in doing this." She touched her chin and said, "On the surface, relax on him and move all the surveillance to the dark. Xiao Yi doesn't have to be in front of him all the time. Just do what needs to be done and make him feel relaxed."

"I see, it's tight inside and loose outside." Bai Meng and Shen Cha looked at each other, smiled at each other, and said, "This kid ran into us and still likes to play tricks, which is asking for trouble." (End of this chapter)
