When Shen Cha went out, he only brought two people, Ying Sixteen and Ying Seventeen. Like Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, these two sisters have been with him since they were young. They have strong ability to adapt to changes, and their kung fu is also among the shadows and guards. Top notch. Mei Zhu was still watching over the recruit camp, helping her select candidates for the training camp, and could not stay with her for the time being.
As for Shen Haolin's suggestion to bring more people, it's not that Shen Cha didn't listen, but she just felt it was unnecessary. Even on the battlefield, including the shadows, there would be no more than three people around her, so she would bring too many people. , but she felt that it was a burden, an obstruction and a bother. What's more, the more people you follow, the more attention you'll attract.
But the facts proved that she was still a little arrogant, believed in herself too much, and underestimated the enemy's inevitable victory over her.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, Jiapingguan City is indeed more lively than usual. Many people will choose this time to purchase new year goods, buy some new clothes, jewelry and the like. After all, after a hard year, when the new year is approaching, , you should treat yourself and your family well. Therefore, the streets were very lively, and there were many people in every shop. It felt like the people in Jiapingguan City had made an appointment to go out on the same day.
Some of the people in Jiapingguan City are local people, and some are family members of Shen Jiajun officers and soldiers. There are still many people who know Shen Cha, and there is an endless stream of people saying hello and saying hello along the way. Although Shen Cha is usually very serious, she has a good tutor. When others say hello to her, she will return the greeting. Jin Miaomiao, who went out with her, exclaimed in disbelief and looked at Shen Cha as if she were a stranger. .
Except for going out with the army and a few major anniversaries in a year, Jin Miaomiao, a military doctor, rarely leaves her medicine house and rarely appears in front of others. Not many people know her, and most people Thinking that she was Shen Cha's new guard, she didn't refute, just stood aside and listened happily.
As the saying goes, people flock together and birds of a feather flock together. The girl who can become friends with Shen Cha and Hongye is naturally unusual. According to the secular view, she is also a deviant freak. After all, girls who like to study poisons are still very rare in this world. .
Jin Miaomiao is the only direct disciple of Master Huilan, the poison doctor. She has been studying with Master Huilan since she was four years old. In addition to learning how to treat diseases and save people, she also studies various poisons, poisons and detoxification methods the most. Master Huilan liked this apprentice very much and taught him all his skills. When he saw that his apprentice was better than his master, he closed his eyes with peace of mind and headed west.
Originally, Jin Miaomiao didn't like to go out. Apart from the military camp, the place she went to the most was the Zhenguo Palace. Most of the time she went with her master, and occasionally she would go shopping with him on the streets. But after Master Huilan passed away, no one took her out to relax. Instead, she just stayed in the medicine house every day to see her medical skills and study her new medicines. Sometimes, it is normal not to see her show up for three to five months.
Shen Cha felt that Jin Miaomiao's life was too abnormal. How could anyone deal with medical skills and medicinal materials every day and neglect to interact with human beings? Even those secluded masters would go to the world for a walk. Therefore, as long as she was not busy and not fighting, she would call Jin Miaomiao out from time to time to get together and temporarily leave the small courtyard where she retreated.
"I heard that there was a thief in the Duke's Mansion?" Following Shen Cha into a gold shop, Jin Miaomiao asked in a low voice, "Has he been caught?"
"Well, the news has reached your ears."
"This is natural, the entire Jiapingguan City knows about it."
"You don't go out much, so you know a lot."
"In Jiapingguan City, apart from our Lord Xue, I am the one who likes to inquire about gossip, right? It's not surprising that I know this. But...don't you think there are so many people going out today? There are not so many people every year. Such a situation!”
"what you want to say?"
"Tell me, is the person behind the scenes hiding among these people? Is he planning another action? The little thief didn't say what he wanted to steal?"
"No, the other party only asked that he can enter the house."
"This is asking for directions. This person is quite cautious. It seems that he has a big plan. Do you want me to add some information to the holes you dug? If those people dare to come, let them come and never come back. How about ?”
"Okay!" Shen Cha nodded, thinking this was a good suggestion, "What do you like?"
"Hey, don't worry. This is my first time entering a gold shop. I have to take a closer look. Don't tell me, I always thought this place sold jewelry. I didn't expect that anything that can be made from gold can be used. You can buy it!" Jin Miaomiao walked around the gold shop and found a set of boxes made of pure gold. "This is good, I want it!"
Shen Cha walked over, took the box, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was originally a set of boxes. According to different sizes, there were five boxes in total from small to large. The smallest one was about the size of a palm, and the largest one could hold ten gold coins. Ancient books collected by Miaomiao.
"This is good. I have a place to collect all the messy things on the desk. My brother finally doesn't have to have a headache."
Shen Cha agreed with this statement. Jin Miaomiao's eldest brother Jin Jing was one of the think tanks of their Shen family and the one with the best brains. He was not in Jiaping Pass now. He and Mei Lin went to the Kingdom of Jin to inquire about the news. Jin Jing is good at everything, her only flaw is that she loves to be clean and can't bear to see even the slightest bit of mess, while her sister is a slovenly mess, and the two siblings always quarrel because of such things.
Since it was a birthday gift for Jin Miaomiao, it was Shen Cha who paid for it, but when she was paying, she suddenly felt something was wrong. While they were selecting things, a lot of people came into the gold shop. Shen Cha didn't pay attention at first, but later more and more people came in. There were some people inside who didn't look like ordinary people either in appearance or dress. The people from Chu are even less like the people from Jiapingguan who came to buy new year gifts.
Jin Miaomiao and the two shadows also noticed. They immediately became alert and followed Shen Cha closely.
"General, I really let the Duke of Guo say it accurately. There are really people who plan to take advantage of the crowd to do bad things." Ying Liu stood on the left side of Shen Cha. "My subordinates feel that there are many people coming, not just There are their people inside and outside the shop. General, what should we do?"
Before Shen Cha could speak, a sleeve arrow flew straight towards her face. She turned her head slightly to avoid it, and the sleeve arrow was nailed to the counter behind her.
A chaos began. The assassins were hidden among the people who came to the gold shop to buy things. The number was not large, but it still gave Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao a headache, and they felt a little helpless. The gang's plan was very clever. Some of them rushed into the shop to commit murder, while others blocked the door to prevent those who were actually buying things from running out.
As a result, Chen Cha's long whip and Jin Miaomiao's poisonous arrows have no effect at all in such a chaotic situation. Even Shadow Sixteen, Shadow Seventeen, and the shadows who have been following secretly are helpless. , because if you don't pay attention, you may hurt innocent people.
"Damn it, these grandsons have no humanity at all!" Jin Miaomiao rarely cursed, "We chose such a place to attack, and there are children here!"
"This is their plan. If they were in an open place, they would not attack the general unless they were seeking death themselves."
Shen Cha knew that now she had become a bright target, and all the guns and hidden arrows were aimed at her. They could only defend and had no chance to fight back. Moreover, she had to be distracted to deal with the civilians who might have been accidentally injured. The assassin did not care whether innocent people were hurt.
This was the most frustrating fight Shen Cha had ever had. Even so, it was hard to guard against, and he was successfully attacked by someone. At that time, she was going to save a little girl who was almost hit by a flying knife. She didn't pay attention to her behind, and was stabbed in the back by the little girl's father.
Seeing that the assassins had succeeded, the assassins wanted to evacuate, but they were informed of the incident at Jinpu. Wei Zixin, who came with troops to help, blocked one of them. All the assassins in Jinpu were caught, and the few who blocked the door were blocked. Seeing that something was wrong, they all ran away without caring about their companions.
The knife on Shen Cha's back pierced deeply, but fortunately it did not hurt any vital parts. I wonder if the assassin was too nervous at the time. Even though she was seriously injured, Shen Cha did not let go of the person who attacked her. Because he was very close, she directly strangled the person's neck, but she did not strangle him to death and made him pass out.
After taking care of this person, Shen Cha exhausted all her strength and fainted. The blood that kept pouring out of the wounds on her back dyed her white clothes red.
