In order to deceive others, Bai Meng's visit to Jiapingguan City was under the guise of condolences to the border officers. He and the fifty people he led were responsible for escorting twenty boxes of imperial gifts.
As agreed, Song Jinyu, who had dressed up as a woman and pretended to be Bai Meng's personal bodyguard, couldn't help but be speechless when she saw these big boxes. If she remembered correctly, before the Chinese New Year, her imperial brother sent a lot of things to Jiaping Pass City. It’s only been two days since I sent so much. Aren’t you afraid that other border officers will be jealous and feel chilled?
"Your Highness the Princess is overly worried. Your Majesty has already considered this." Bai Meng explained, "Including our team, a total of twelve teams set off to various border passes to express condolences to the soldiers at each border pass. Therefore, there is no A situation of favoring one over another.”
Among these twenty boxes was a box with small ventilation holes all around, where Zhao Yin and the Second Young Master were placed.
Song Jue's original plan was that if there was a major treason case in Prince Yihe's mansion, everyone would ignore Zhao Yinhe's previous crimes, and he could justifiably send him to the border. Unexpectedly, after such a major case, the calls for Zhao Yinhe to be punished not only did not decrease, but became even louder. Some students even signed a letter calling for Zhao Yinhe to be sentenced to death.
Song Jue had no choice but to steal and ask people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to find a prisoner on death row who had a physical resemblance to Zhao Yinhe, and covered his head to replace Zhao Yinhe in the execution ground. The second son, Zhao Yinhe, was knocked unconscious the night before the execution, put into the special box, and quietly left Xijing City with Bai Meng's motorcade.
After receiving the news, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing stood under the city gate, looking at the teams approaching from far away carrying the banners of Daxia and Liao respectively, and looked at each other.
"It's so rare to see these two flags walking side by side." Xue Ruitian stretched, "Speaking of which, they came really fast this time, carrying so many boxes and so many people. It’s a miracle that I can walk so fast.”
"Xiao Fengqi and Yerunan are eager to return home and want to return to Linhuang Mansion as soon as possible." Shen Cha was wrapped in a thick cloak, holding two hand stoves, standing next to Shen Haolin, "Even if it is the last time to meet the little Liao King, On the one hand, I don’t have any regrets.”
"How is the situation now?" Xue Ruitian asked curiously, "Is it really... impossible?"
"So far, the respectable members of the Yelu family are still in the palace and have not come out. In other words, the situation of King Xiao Liao is relatively stable and within their control." Shen Cha sighed, "Xiao Liao Wang was very cruel to himself, and he planned to use his life to fight for a way out for himself. Unfortunately..." She shook her head, "He didn't grasp the balance well, and he really put himself in danger."
"If he could have used this cruelty against Yelvertu to deal with Yelvertu, maybe this situation would not be the same." He reached out and put the hat that was blown off by the strong wind back on, and took her into his arms. Shen Haolin sneered, "King Xiao Liao's behavior this time is to shoot himself in the foot. This time he really dies, that is, he gives up the throne to Yelvertu. And if he doesn't die... what happened this time Afterwards, Yelvertu will also find an excuse to kick him off the throne."
"What brother is saying is that King Xiao Liao really doesn't have the ability to fight with Yelv Ertu. Instead of messing around like this, he might as well be a puppet honestly and live a good life for two days in the name of King Liao. Even if Yelu Ertu I don't like him, so I won't treat him badly even if I replace him. As he is now... he won't end well." Shen Cha yawned and looked at the large army approaching in front of him, " People are coming, let’s go there!”
When Bai Meng saw Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha greeting him, he jumped off the horse first. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Fengqi, Yerunan and Qi Zhifeng also got out of the carriage one after another. Everyone wrapped up their fur clothes tightly at the same time. He walked in front of everyone in the Shen family army.
"Long time no see, Commander Shen, Lord Marquis, and General Shen!"
Xiao Fengqi greeted everyone. He was not familiar with the Shen Jiajun people, so he left the greetings to Yerunan and Qi Zhifeng. After saying hello, he quietly stepped aside.
"Master Xiao, Mr. Yelu, Mr. Qi!" Shen Haolin returned the greeting, looked at Bai Meng again, and chuckled, "Commander, long time no see!"
"My lord, long time no see!" Bai Meng saluted Shen Haolin, then nodded to Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha, "Master Marquis, General Shen, you are well. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much!"
"The commander's sweet words are becoming more and more smooth." Xue Ruitian looked at the guard who had been hiding around Bai Meng, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Just when the guard thought he was going to say something, he turned his head and looked Xiang Shen Haolin, "Let's invite the guests into the city. If you have any questions, we can talk after we enter the city. Don't stand in the ice and snow and freeze."
"The Marquis is right, please!"
The post house had been cleaned up after receiving the news. Xiao Fengqi, Yerunan, Qi Zhifeng, and Bai Meng were all invited to the main hall. Song Qiyun, Xia Jiu, and Shen Jiu were all waiting at the door.
Everyone sat down in the hall, and Shen Cha ordered the guards to serve hot ginger soup to everyone. Seeing Bai Meng and the guard sitting behind him showing disgusted expressions at the same time, Shen Cha smiled softly.
"Everyone who is facing the wind, you'd better drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your body to avoid the wind and cold." Shen Cha picked up the bowl in front of him and said, "Please!"
"General Shen is still thoughtful." Yerunan finished his bowl first and wiped his mouth gracefully. Although the haggardness on his face was obvious, he still looked like a noble gentleman in his every move. Although he is a foreigner, he is no worse than the wealthy young masters of Xijing. He smiled at Shen Cha, "We haven't seen you for many days, General Shen seems to have lost a lot of weight. General Shen is young, so he should pay more attention to his body."
"Thank you Mr. Yelu for the reminder, I will pay attention!" Shen Cha looked at Xiao Fengqi, then at Yelu Nan, then at Qi Zhifeng who was dragged aside by Song Qiyun, Chen Jiu and Xia Jiu to whisper, and asked, "Xiao Fengqi Young Master, Young Master Yelu, what are your plans next? Should you stay for one night so that we can fulfill our duties as landlords, or..."
"Having failed to live up to General Shen's kindness, we'll take a short rest before heading back." Yerunan sighed, "I won't hide it from you all, but my king has been in poor health recently, so we are more worried. I want to rush back as soon as possible." He looked at Shen Cha, "When I have time next time, I must have a good gathering with Marshal Shen, Lord Xue, and General Shen."
"Okay, we have an agreement!"
"It's a deal!"
