Someone ran away from home and went to Shiyuan Town, eating and drinking happily and continuing his long-awaited trip. But the city of Jiaping Pass, thousands of miles away, was still shrouded in gloom. Most people were in complicated moods, not in a joking mood.
Although everyone was conquered by Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian's analysis, and believed that they were right, this is the most likely scenario at present. However, His Majesty's leaving the palace and leaving the capital is not a small matter. Now the palace has blocked the news and announced that the emperor is unwell and needs to rest. However, people who know Song Jue well know what is going on. .
The emperor secretly went out to play. As long as he did not leave Xijing, no one would care. But once he left the city, it was an important matter and had to attract the attention of all parties. It's not that they are making a fuss, but that Song Jue cannot be judged by normal people. If something goes wrong in his mind, he will be gone forever, and they will be the ones who have the headache in the end.
"Your Majesty will not do such an irresponsible thing, and he doesn't even bother to do it." Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Song Jue grew up together, and they know him better than Song Jue's brothers. Noticing the concerns of several people, the two of them shook their heads at the same time, "Even if he is really tired of being the emperor, he will not just walk away like this. He will prepare a year or more in advance and carefully select, Carefully evaluate the successor, arrange the government affairs properly, and select the appropriate auxiliary minister. The important thing is that in order to ensure the safety of the border, it is very likely to have to inspect various border crossings. It does not take three or five years to come and go, and it is absolutely impossible. He can't finish these things. In addition, he also has to see that after his successor ascends the throne, the government will be smooth, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and he will leave only after he has nothing to worry about. "
"The marshal is right." Xue Ruitian nodded and patted Xia Jiu, who was lying on his lap and refused to move, "Don't worry, although His Majesty is a little playful and has a bad temper, he is still He is a responsible person who has the overall situation in mind. Otherwise, the late emperor would not have handed over the throne and the entire Great Xia to him, right? Wait patiently for two days, and there will be a reply from Xiaocha soon. "
"We have a little faith in His Majesty. He has never let us down in all these years, right?" Shen Cha cleared the desk and raised his head to see the old butler Yan Bo walking in from the door and asked, "New Year's Eve" Are all the things ready?"
"General, don't worry. Everything we need for the New Year has been prepared at our house, at the Marquis' house, and at the military camp. We have everything we should have, and it is richer than in previous years. We can have a prosperous New Year. Marshal, Mr. Marquis and General, the day is almost here, when do you guys want to dress up?" Uncle Yan put his hands on his hands and looked at the people staggering around in the flower hall, "There have been a lot of bad things in our house recently, everyone's mood. It’s not very good, so dress up and have a New Year atmosphere, and everyone will feel more comfortable.”
"You have handled these matters in previous years. This year I will still have to work hard for you. If there is nothing special, you can just make the decision and there is no need to discuss it with us. However, this year is a little special and you need to prepare in advance." Shen Haolin stood up, walked to Uncle Yan, and said, "Deputy Marshal Qin has sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he will come back to celebrate the New Year with us this year. I'm afraid he is already on the way now. I don't know for sure. It will arrive in two days, you have to think about having the yard where the deputy commander lived be cleaned out,"
"Qin..." This was the first time that Uncle Yan heard the news. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say. He looked at Shen Haolin who was squatting in front of him and asked stammeringly, "Why...why did he come back? Didn't he stay well in Yongningguan?"
"Cha'er was assassinated and Master was furious, so he wanted to come back and have a look and celebrate the New Year together." Shen Haolin looked at Yan Bo carefully, "It's no use hiding from some things. They have to be solved in the end. You understand me. What do you mean?"
"Although I don't know what happened to you, but..." Xue Ruitian looked at Yan Bo, "He is willing to come back, which means there is a turn for the better."
"Uncle Yan, we all hope that you and Master can resolve their knots." Shen Cha also walked over and looked at the elder in front of him seriously, "I hope that you can be happy, instead of being like this now, separated from each other and always leading each other. Spend every day with a trace of regret.”
"I..." Uncle Yan was silent for a while, then he raised his head and looked at the two children in front of him, then looked at Xue Ruitian, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what to do. You guys take care of yourselves. That’s it, don’t always get injured or sick.” Uncle Yan turned around and looked at the others, “The same goes for you, you are all the mainstay of Jiapingguan City, if something happens to you, the soldiers in this army will , the people in the city have no hope, do you understand?"
"Yes, I will follow Uncle Yan's teachings and we will be obedient!"
"You kids are really..." Uncle Yan turned around and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "If there's nothing else, I'll go and get busy first."
"Wait a minute, Uncle Yan!" Shen Cha called to Uncle Yan, turned around and took out two sheets of paper and handed them to Uncle Yan, "I almost forgot, when you send someone to clean up Master's yard, remember to ask They prepared these things. Yongning Pass is humid and stuffy, which is completely different from ours. Master has stayed there for a long time, and he may not be used to it when he comes back. I..."
"Little Cha!" Uncle Yan interrupted Shen Cha who was about to continue speaking, and showed a kind smile, "Thank you!"
"I..." Shen Cha suddenly felt a little embarrassed when Uncle Yan thanked him so solemnly. She rubbed her body against Shen Haolin, "Well, there is nothing to thank him for. He is my master. This is What I should do."
"Accepting you as a closed disciple is the most correct decision he has made in his life. He is lucky to have such a caring disciple like you!" Yan Bo patted Shen Haolin on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Master, Cherish it and don't regret it after losing it!" After saying that, leaving a room full of confused people, Uncle Yan left with an unfathomable smile.
"His old man is..." Shen Cha rubbed his somewhat hot face and was very careful not to look at Shen Haolin. For fear of accidentally exposing his little thoughts, he followed Shen Haolin back to his seat and asked Said, "What does this mean?"
"I don't know, Uncle Yan is always chattering. Who knows what he wants to express." Shen Haolin also had ulterior motives, pretending that he didn't understand what Uncle Yan said, "However, when the old man came and left, At that time, the whole state of the person was different.”
"Isn't that right? When I came, I was in low spirits, but when I left, I was full of energy and walked lightly." , I am still very happy. Then again, who of you knows why the deputy commander was suddenly transferred? There was no sign before." Seeing Jin Jing who was about to say something, Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "Stop it. , don’t fool me with those high-sounding words, those words will only deceive those who don’t know, I don’t believe those nonsense!”
"I mean, I heard a rumor that might be closer to the truth." Jin Jing rolled her eyes at Xue Ruitian, "It was Miao Miao who overheard it. The two people who spoke were the two relatives who were originally following Deputy Marshal Qin. Bing, when Deputy Commander Qin was transferred, they were not with him. They were sent out to spy on the border news, so they did not leave with him. They said that the reason why these two people quarreled was because of a woman. "
"Woman? Impossible!"
Shen Cha asked Mei Zhu to go to the dining room and tell the master chef that the marshal's lunch should be a little lighter and the portion should be smaller. He is not eating well yet and cannot eat too much. As soon as the whisper here was finished, she turned around and heard Jin Jing's words. Shen Cha denied it without thinking.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Can the general not interrupt?" Jin Jing sighed weakly, "They said that a woman once came to the deputy commander to confess her marriage with her child in her arms. At that time, we and Jin were in full swing. Yes, they both have bad tempers, and I don’t know why the two of them broke up and started to get into trouble.”
"That seems to be the case." Shen Haolin nodded, "During that time, when the deputy commander was present, Uncle Yan would find an excuse to leave. When Uncle Yan was present, the deputy commander would not stay. If both of them had to be there at the same time, , the atmosphere was very awkward. I asked my father, but he said it was none of my business and he wouldn't let me inquire. I don't have Xiaotian's hobby, so I simply didn't ask."
"My brother said this and reminded me. I also remembered it. I didn't remember them deeply about their quarrel. What made me remember was the woman holding the child." Shen Cha tapped his fingers lightly on the table. , "The child she brought was stolen, and the woman's true identity was Jin's spy. Her specific mission was unknown. After her identity was exposed, she committed suicide by taking poison."
"If it's really because of this woman that they quarreled, it's really not worth it that they have been separated for so many years." Jin Jing shook her head, "By the way, the notices for the annual rewards have been posted, and the date is set for tomorrow. . But, what happened to His Majesty, should we change the time?"
"Don't change it!" Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "We will do whatever we need to do. But just because that guy changed his plan, we can't just pretend that nothing happened and we don't know anything. This would be better."
"Xiaotian is right!" Shen Haolin nodded, "After lunch, we will finalize the list. Before dinner, we will inform the selected people and let them prepare."
"yes!"
