Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2574: Atonement for Sins 37.0
"puff!"

Xue Ruitian just took a sip of tea and before he could swallow it, it all came out.

Fortunately, Merlin dodged very quickly, otherwise he would have been caught by him.

"What do you mean?" Song Yaojia looked at Xue Ruitian, threw a handkerchief at him with a look of disgust, and said, "Wipe your mouth. You are such a grown-up, why are you still like a child!"

"It's all your fault!" Xue Ruitian wiped his mouth and snorted twice, "Xiaocha asked you what you think of Shaobai's kung fu, not what you think of Shaobai as a person!"

"I don't understand Kung Fu. In my eyes, all of your Kung Fu is good, so I can only evaluate this person." Song Yaojia looked at the table, took a fancy to a dish of candied fruit, took one and ate it slowly, and said, "Xiaocha, what do you mean by asking me this?"

"If Brother Yaojia has a good impression of Shaobai, how about he come to be your bodyguard during your stay in Jiaping Pass?"

"Guard?" Song Yaojia thought about it and shook her head slightly, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

"What's wrong with that?" Eagle Leopard and Eagle Falcon looked at each other. They both thought Shen Cha's proposal was very good. They gave Shen Cha a thumbs up at the same time and said, "We agree."

"What did you agree to?" Song Yaojia rolled his eyes at the two of them, turned around to look at Shen Cha, and moved the plate of candied fruit towards Shen Cha, saying, "Xiao Cha, I appreciate your kindness, but it's really unnecessary to arrange a guard for me. As for me, my public identity is him..." He pointed at Yingbao, "His guards, wherever he goes, I go, which is equivalent to him being my guard, right? Safety can be absolutely guaranteed, don't worry. Besides, I'm a guard, and with another guard around me, how can I hide my identity?" Seeing Shen Cha open her mouth to say something, he stuffed a piece of candied fruit into her mouth and said with a smile, "Don't rush to refute, listen to me continue."

"What?" Shen Cha said vaguely, holding a piece of candied fruit in his mouth, "Uncle Emperor, Uncle Dai, and Uncle Ning wrote a special letter and asked General Yingbao to bring it here, asking us to take good care of you and not let you get into any danger or make any mistakes."

"I know, but I said, following Eagle Leopard and being its bodyguard is already safe enough, why do you have to arrange another bodyguard for me?" Song Yaojia said with a confused look on his face, "Is it because the camp of the Shen family army is not safe, or is there someone who wants to assassinate me?"

"Neither." Shen Cha shook her head gently. "Shaobai will not be here to be Brother Yaojia's bodyguard. Instead, after the war begins, we will leave Jiaping Pass and enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom. You will not be able to follow General Yingbao every day, and you must have a bodyguard by your side." She looked at Song Yaojia, "Don't say you don't need it. With Brother Yaojia's usual style, he will definitely go with us, right?"

"He's definitely going." Xue Ruitian yawned, stood up, snatched a candied fruit from Song Yaojia's hand, and put it into his mouth proudly, "No need to ask, isn't this the reason why he followed Xiao Baizi to the border?" He raised an eyebrow at Song Yaojia, who looked stunned, "If we agree, he'll go with the flow and go with the main force. If we don't agree, he'll find ways to sneak along." He bared his teeth at Song Yaojia, "Am I right?"

"So you all knew about it." Song Yaojia touched his face, "I thought..."

"You thought you hid it well?"

"Isn't it good?" Song Yaojia snorted, drank all the tea in the teacup, leaned on the table, and said, "You all didn't expose me, I thought you didn't know!" "We just pretended not to know." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "It's because we know you must go, and it's useless for us to stop you, so we thought of arranging people to be guards for you. Shaobai is a person that several of us are optimistic about. He has good character and a good temper. The most important thing is that he is good at kung fu. He won't let you go just because you are the prince of Dai. He will definitely not let you go to a place where he says he can't let you go. No matter how you cry, make a fuss, or even hang yourself, it's useless in front of him."

"You're the one who's crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang yourself!" Song Yaojia snorted twice, threw a candied fruit at Xue Ruitian, watched him eat it with a smile, and said angrily, "To put it nicely, you're my bodyguard, but to put it bluntly, you're just looking for someone to keep an eye on me, right?"

"That's right, that's what the prince meant." Yingbao patted Song Yaojia's shoulder, "Fighting is no joke, it's a fight of life and death. If your Highness is in danger and we can't rescue you in time, we will feel more at ease with a capable guard by your side." He looked at Shen Cha, "The young master should mean the same thing."

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Shaobai used to be a shadow and stayed with His Majesty for several years. He is quite experienced in this area."

"Since you all say so, let's do it."

After listening to their long-winded talk, Song Yaojia understood that they were worried about what he would encounter after following the large army into the Jin Kingdom. In particular, if his identity was exposed, he might be killed. Having a capable guard by his side would indeed save him a lot of worries.

"But I have a request."

"any request?"

"After the fight, he has to stay with me for a few days. We need to get used to each other. What do you think?"

"Of course." Shen Cha nodded, "That's what we planned too, and we can't hide Brother Yaojia's identity from him, otherwise, just like what Brother said just now, it will look weird and out of place."

"That's natural." Song Yaojia lay on the table and said sullenly, "I don't know what this guy's personality is like. Judging from what he did on the stage today, he doesn't seem to be lively and smart, but more like a dull person. If such a person follows me around, my future life will be very difficult."

"A taciturn person has his good points. If he is really lively and clever, and plays with you when you are in danger, then he is not a bodyguard, but someone who wants to kill you." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, looked at the overjoyed hawk next to him, and shook his head helplessly, "Do you like him so much? Do you admire him?"

"I really admire him. This kind of defense-based attacking style is really rare. I really hope to learn from him more and see if Kakan has any way to break through." Yingshun looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and said, "The Duke and the young master didn't go to the ring. After the morning session, there was no change among the seven champions, but..."

"But what?"

"Shaobai is the one who is challenged the least." Yingshuan raised his chin and pointed at Song Yaojia who was dozing on the table. "Your Highness should be the only one."
