Standing on the tower, watching the backs of the team of three hundred people drifting away, Shen Haolin sighed softly.
"You don't have to be so reluctant to leave. Xiao Cha will be back in a few days." Xue Ruitian, who was standing on the tower with Shen Haolin to see him off, patted his good brother on the shoulder, "Maybe it won't take that long. Tomorrow You can see her in the evening, after all, everyone wants to go home to celebrate the New Year."
"I hope everything goes well with your good words. But..." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Do you think Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping are really the murderers?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, they are very likely to be the murderers. We have already raised the most important question. Who will benefit from Wanyan and Wen's death? Of course, many people will benefit from his death, but Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping have gained the most and the greatest benefits." Xue Ruitian wrapped his cloak tightly and raised his head to look at the gloomy sky, "They no longer need to be controlled by the nobles."
"But do they have the courage? Shen Haolin shook his head, "No, I should say, do they have the brains? "
"Only people without brains would do such a thing of intercepting and killing the envoys halfway. Who among the normal people with brains would do this?" Xue Ruitian chuckled, "If it were you, what would you do? Kill the envoys. He led the disaster to the Liao Kingdom, and once it was found out, he would be completely at odds with the Liao Kingdom. Yelvertu is also a petty person. Do you think he can spare the murderer after the truth is revealed? Not to mention forming an alliance, Liao will not It would be good to unite with Daxia to attack." Xue Ruitian curled his lips and said with disgust, "Only the kind of guy who is forced to be desperate, has no way out, and completely loses his mind will do such stupid things regardless of the consequences. I just felt happy for the moment and didn’t even think about what I would do next.”
"My lord, I believe that the lord is right." Hongye, who was standing next to Xue Ruitian and supporting him, looked at Shen Haolin and said, "Wanyan and Wen should be too arrogant in the Jin Kingdom. Even if Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping would not be too reassured if they were assigned to serve as envoys to Daxia. What if they took advantage of the opportunity to go on an envoy and did something that would make them... how should I say, on tenterhooks, such as By uniting with Liao and Daxia, the throne they finally obtained may be gone forever, which is the last thing their father and daughter want to see."
"Because that's how they ousted Wanyanxi's father and brother, so naturally they won't allow it and will prevent others from following their example."
Shen Haolin nodded in agreement. Seeing that the team heading to Wuma Town had disappeared on the horizon and no trace could be seen at all, he turned around and went down the tower. Xue Ruitian followed him with Hongye.
"Yes, if it were you, you would do the same thing. It's human nature. You will never let others imitate what you have done. Otherwise, you will be the unlucky one, right?" Supported by Hongye, Slowly descending the tower, and finally returning to the ground after a lot of effort, Xue Ruitian took a long breath and said, "I said that the father and daughter had no choice but to choose this last resort because they were completely beaten. Yan and Wen were struggling a lot. It had been almost two months since the floods in the Jin Kingdom, and the relief effect was not good at all. The people of the Jin Kingdom were complaining, and it was all thanks to the nobles headed by Wanyan and Wen. The people They don't understand the fight in Yiqing Mansion. They will only say that Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping ignore their existence and don't take them seriously at all. If this situation continues for a while, there is no telling what will happen. Chaos, this is what the father and daughter do not want to see. If they can kill Wanyan and Wen, it will serve as a warning to the monkeys and make the nobles of Yiqing Prefecture restrain themselves, they will do so."
"It makes sense." Shen Haolin turned his head, glanced at Hongye, and asked, "Actually, Hongye wants to follow Cha'er to Wuma Town, right?"
"The Duke is wise, this subordinate has this idea!" Hongye nodded and glanced at the big bump on Xue Ruitian's head, "Firstly, I am very interested in this case, and secondly, I want to protect the general. Safe. Although Liao Jin personally came to ask the general to solve the case, Wuma Town is still a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the subordinates are a little uneasy. Unfortunately, the Marquis has knocked himself into this state, and the subordinates have no way to leave. "
"Thank you so much for not abandoning me at the critical moment. I am so touched. I will reward you well after I go back!" He followed Shen Haolin into the Duke's Mansion and walked slowly towards Nuan Pavilion. "In order to repay you, You, reduce the number of times I bully you."
"Really? I really thank you, Mr. Hou!" Hongye snorted coldly, "Master Hou, there's no need to be so polite. I just want to make myself comfortable."
"No matter what, I still want to thank you!" , we must not fall for Liao Jin's ways. I believe that she can deal with it calmly no matter what happens. What's more, she is accompanied by Xiao Jingjing and Jin Miaomiao, as well as so many guards and shadows. Well, safety is not a problem. We don’t have to think too much, we can just wait for her to return smoothly."
"After careful calculation, this should be the first time she leaves us and goes out alone." Shen Haolin opened the door of Nuan Pavilion and let Xue Ruitian go in first. "Isn't it normal to worry? You are pretending to be calm here with me, but in fact, you are also very worried, right?"
"Worrying is for sure. As Hongye said, Wuma Town is now a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. No one knows what will happen. However, I still say the same thing. I have great confidence in Xiaocha." Walking into Nuan Pavilion, he shook off his body Xue Ruitian leaned directly on his reclining chair and stretched out, "It's a bad year for the Kingdom of Jin. If you do such a bad thing during the Chinese New Year, next year's life won't be easy either!"
"They are really annoying!" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu followed Shen Cha and Hongye took over their work consciously, pouring tea for Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian. She placed a pot of hot tea on Shen Haolin's table, filled two tea cups respectively, and handed one cup to Xue Ruitian. "It's rare for the Vice Marshal to come back to celebrate the New Year. The general's happiness can be seen by everyone. Everyone is looking forward to the reunion dinner on the night of the 30th. After something like this, a good reunion dinner might be given to these bastards. Mixed up."
"That's not possible!" Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "If Xiaocha doesn't come back before New Year's Eve, let's go to Wuma Town and snatch her back." He raised his eyebrows at Shen Haolin, " How about it? Do you want to do it or not?"
"Plan approved!"
"Sneeze! Sneeze! Sneeze!" Shen Cha, who was running towards Wuma Town, suddenly sneezed three times. She rubbed her nose, wrapped her cloak, and said to Jin Miaomiao next to her, "No. Are you really right? Are you catching a cold again? "
"It seems to me that you haven't caught a cold, but someone is thinking about you!" Jin Jing held the horse's rein with one hand and followed Shen Cha coolly, "This is your first time to be out alone, Mr. Guo. It is normal for you and the Marquis to be worried and concerned."
"Let's solve the problem as soon as possible and rush back as soon as possible. I don't really want to stay in Wuma Town any longer." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Xiaowu, how long will it take before we get to Wuma Town?"
"At our current speed, it will take at most half an hour."
"Speed up, we must arrive within half an hour."
"yes!"
The group hurriedly hurriedly and slowly arrived at Wuma Town before Youshi.
"General, Military Advisor, Doctor Jin!" Ying Liu, who had been waiting for a long time, led the brothers stationed in Wuma Town from Daxia. When they saw the arrival of Shen Cha and others, they all stepped forward to salute. He nodded towards Mei Zhu, Mei Lin, and Ying Wu, and reached out to pull the reins of Shen Cha's horse. "Boss, General Yelu Zesheng from the Liao Kingdom and General Wanyan Zhanxiong from the Jin Kingdom have arrived. They are waiting for you at the Qingfeng Teahouse."
"Okay!" Shen Cha dismounted handsomely and handed the riding whip to Ying Liu, "Get settled with the brothers in the Pioneer Camp!"
"Are you going now? Don't you want to take a rest?"
"Xiao Liu, you don't know this!" Jin Jing hadn't seen Ying Liu for a long time, so she came over and put her arms around his shoulders, and said cheerfully, "Your boss wants to solve the case here as soon as possible and go back to the city. There’s someone waiting at home.”
"The Duke and the Marquis?" Ying Liu patted the paw on his shoulder and gave Jin Jing a big eye roll, "Yes, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days, and it's time to have a reunion dinner. .”
"Wrong answer!" Jin Jingqi reluctantly put her paw on Ying Liu's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Marshal Qin is back."
"Really?" Ying Liu looked at Jin Jing in surprise, completely forgetting the hand on his shoulder, "Great! Our boss has been thinking about him for several years, and he is finally willing to come back! Make peace with Uncle Yan Yet?"
"Well, everything went very smoothly!"
"That's good, that's good!" Ying Liu nodded frequently, "The knot in the boss's heart has finally been resolved. It's great!"
"Speaking of which, what's going on here?" Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao who were walking in the front, "Is there anyone suspicious?"
"We suspect..." Ying Liu lowered his voice and said, "The people in the post house did not tell the truth, and... the appearance of the corpse is very strange. I am not very good at describing it, and I can't say it is very good. You will know when you go and see it later." "
The brothers from the Pioneer Battalion who followed Shen Cha were temporarily placed in the Daxia Inn in Wuma Town. Shen Cha and Jin Jing took Ying Wu and Ying Liu to the Qingfeng Teahouse in the public area.
"General Shen, Military Advisor Jin!" Waiting at the door of the teahouse to greet Shen Cha were Yelu Zesheng's deputy general Wu Sa and Wanyan Zhanxiong's deputy general Babu. When they saw Shen Cha and Jin Jing, they all saluted, "Thank you for your hard work traveling all the way. My general is waiting on the second floor. Guys, please come this way!"
Shen Cha and Jin Jing took Ying Wu and Ying Liu to follow Wu Sa and Babu into the tea house. On the second floor of the tea house, they saw Yelu Zesheng and Wanyan Zhanxiong sitting on both sides of a large table. Cha and Jin Jing stood up from their chairs at the same time.
"Chen Cha has met the two generals!"
"Jin Jing has met the two generals!"
In terms of seniority, Yelu Zesheng and Wanyan Zhanxiong were both from Qin Zheng's generation, and Shen Cha and Jin Jing were both juniors, so they had to greet them first out of politeness.
"You two nephews don't need to be polite!" Yelu Zesheng rushed to help Shen Cha and Jin Jing before Wanyan Zhanxiong, "It is really helpless to invite these two nephews over at this time. I miss you both." My dear nephew, forgive me!"
"I said to you, Yelu, are you guilty of being so anxious to establish friendship? You are afraid that the two wise nephews will find out the real culprit, which will bring great disgrace to the Liao Kingdom. You will have no way to explain it to your regent when you go back!" He was a step too late! Wanyan Zhanxiong looked at Shen Cha and then at Jin Jing with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last saw you two nephews. They look pretty good!"
"Aren't you trying to establish friendship?" Yelu Zesheng asked Shen Cha and Jin Jing to sit down on the chairs in the middle. "We are equally matched, so no one can blame the other. Since this case has been entrusted to the two nephews, we All you need to do is honestly tell what you know. Who the murderer is and who is suspected are decided by the two nephews. We cannot interfere." He looked at Wanyan Zhanxiong and said, "General Wanyan ,What do you think?"
"Okay, I agree!"
"Since the two of you have the same idea, from now on, we will take over this case." Jin Jing looked at the two generals and smiled at them, "We have no other demands, we only ask the two generals and Liao People involved in the case, including the two countries, Kim and Kim, promise that everything they say to us is true and credible, and cannot contain any falsehoods!"
"Of course, this is for sure!" The two old generals looked at each other, "We know that there is nothing we can't say."
"Okay!" Shen Cha asked Ying Wu to take out a pen and paper, "The first question is for General Wanyan. Are you sure that the dead envoy is Wanyan and Wen."
