"I'll take my leave, everyone, please stay!"
Yerunan cupped his fists and saluted, smiled at everyone, and left with the guards of Zhenguo Palace. ． ．
After watching Yerunan's back disappear from sight, everyone returned to the flower hall.
"Wait a minute!" Jin Jing smiled and reached out to stop Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Tell me, what exactly did you find in that small yard!"
"Xiao Jing..." Xue Ruitian blinked and looked at Jin Jing in confusion, "What... do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? Silly Xiaotian, you were tricked by them, do you know?" Jin Jing put her arms around Xue Ruitian's shoulders, "Do you really believe their lies? If you really discovered such a huge number and powerful With such a big gunpowder, these two have long been anxious to get angry and arrange for people to deal with the aftermath. How can they still be drinking tea and chatting with us so peacefully?"
"..." Xue Ruitian's judgment was affected by the shadow of his childhood. Once he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Jin Jing's words were still very reasonable. He looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "Xiao Cha, you are a good boy, tell your brothers what you saw."
"I..." As soon as Shen Cha said one word, she began to sneeze more than a dozen times in a row, which made her dizzy. She was unable to say a word for a long time.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later!" Xue Ruitian quickly waved his hand, took the cloak in Mei Lin's hand, walked up and wrapped Shen Cha tightly, "This flower hall has no windows or doors. , it’s well ventilated from all sides, so it’s better not to stay here in the middle of the night.”
"Let's go back to Huqiu." Shen Haolin winked at Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and put the hand stove that had just been replaced with new charcoal into Shen Cha's hand, "Xiaotian, arrange for someone to tidy up the flower hall. , Commander-in-Chief, please.”
"The Duke of the country invites you, the general invites you."
Bai Meng frowned and looked at Shen Cha who was leaning in Shen Haolin's arms. He knew that General Shen's health was not as good as that of ordinary people, but he did not expect that it would be this bad. He was wondering whether he should talk to His Majesty after returning to Beijing, send more good things, and give General Shen a good treatment.
"Commander!" Jin Jing patted Bai Meng's arm, "Watch your mouth. You know better than me what to say and what not to say."
"only……"
"Master Huilan's recipe is here, and Jin Miaomiao is here, so there is no need to worry." Jin Jing dragged Bai Meng to follow Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian, "So, don't talk too much to His Majesty. You also know the importance of Xiaocha in His Majesty’s heart. If His Majesty is too worried and has the idea of coming to the border again, you will be the unlucky one, Commander-in-Chief.”
"... Got it, thank you, military advisor, for reminding me." Bai Meng looked at Shen Cha's back with a slightly worried look, "Is she... like this every winter? Isn't this... too painful?"
"It will get better." Jin Jing smiled faintly, "Okay, don't worry about it. If you have this energy, you might as well think about how to deal with those guys in the dungeon."
"Then it depends on what the Duke and the general find in that small courtyard. If they really endanger the safety of Daxia and kill them with one knife, it will really be an advantage for them."
Jin Jing nodded, tightened her cloak, and dragged Bai Meng to run quickly to Huqiu.
Mei Lin and Mei Zhu returned to Huqiu early to tidy up. When everyone arrived, the room was already very warm. Because Bai Meng also came over, Merlin deliberately opened the screen.
Everyone sat around the small table, and each person was given a small bowl of hot ginger soup. After drinking it, their cold hands and feet became warm.
"I finally recovered." Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder and let out a sigh of relief, "Mei Zhu, wait a moment and help me deliver a message."
"Okay, General."
Shen Cha took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a note, folded it and handed it to Mei Zhu.
"Go and see if Master and Uncle Yan are asleep. If they are, don't disturb them. If they are not asleep..." Shen Cha sighed, "Give them this note. If they have any questions, please feel free to ask them." Possible answers, no need to hide them.”
"Yes, General, my subordinates know." Mei Lin and Mei Zhu saluted and left the room.
"Okay, it's time to return to the brothers' problem." Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder, "That small courtyard is indeed not simple, and what we found is not just gunpowder."
"Is there really gunpowder?" Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Bai Meng looked at each other, "Aren't you here to trick us?"
"Of course not. In the eyes of brothers, am I the kind of person who talks nonsense?" Shen Cha glared at the three people sitting in front of him with dissatisfaction, "Next time you say that, I won't be happy."
"Okay, okay, it's my brothers' fault. The little tea man has a good heart, so please forgive us!" Xue Ruitian quickly coaxed, "My brother will be a host tomorrow and I'll treat my sister to a good meal. How about it?"
"Instead of inviting me to dinner, Brother Xiao Tian, why not let go and have a good fight with me!"
"No problem, whatever my sister says is whatever it is." Xue Ruitian tugged Jin Jing and then Bai Meng, "If that's not enough, you can greet these two as you please. How about it?" He raised his foot and stepped on them. People, "What do you two think?"
"The Marquis is right. We will leave it to my sister tomorrow. You can do whatever she wants." Jin Jing said with a smile, "If my guess is correct, did you pretend that all you found was gunpowder because Yerunan was here?"
"Soldiers never tire of deceit. Besides, this has nothing to do with the Liao Kingdom. It's our grudge with the Duan family." Shen Cha took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "Of the thirty jars, only the top layer is gunpowder, and the bottom layer... …It’s all gold.”
"Yellow...gold?"
This news was stronger than gunpowder for the three of them. They all opened their mouths wide and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha stupidly, completely unable to believe what they heard.
"Oh my God!" Jin Jing was the first to come to his senses. He thought for a moment and asked, "You just said that it was our grudge against the Duan family, so... the quantity and weight of this batch of gold Are they compatible with...that one?"
"Yes!" Shen Haolin reached out and touched Shen Cha's forehead. There was no sign of fever. Only then was he truly relieved. He nodded towards Jin Jing, "Yes, it matches perfectly, even the mark on the bottom is the same. . So, we can be sure that this batch is that batch."
"No wonder Xiaocha asked Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to deliver the letter. That case is still pending and has always been a knot in the minds of the Vice Marshal and Uncle Yan. Now that this batch of gold has finally been found, they don't have to regret it."
"Wait a minute!" Bai Meng responded quickly, "Are you talking about the Feng Family Gold Shop case?"
"The commander-in-chief also knows about it?" Jin Jing turned her head and looked at him, "Is the impact of this case so big?"
"Yes, not only Jiapingguan City is full of troubles, but Xijing is also the same. It's just that most people focus on the whereabouts of Jin Zi, but I have always been thinking that the bodyguard hired by the Feng family is not an unknown person. There is also a number one in the world. What kind of robber is he who can kill them in a very short time and then loot all the gold they are escorting?"
"No...just wait a moment!" You don’t even understand?” He grabbed Jin Jing’s arm, “Let’s not talk about anything else, are you sure you have found gold? Then aren’t we rich?”
"Is there something wrong with your focus?" Jin Jing looked at her grabbed arm, "Isn't it supposed to be that Duan's gang actually hid gold secretly, or where did they get this huge amount of gold? ?"
"Don't you know the origin of the gold as long as you examine it?"
"He didn't know about the case." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "When the case happened, a lot of things happened in Wudinghou Mansion. My father strictly ordered that no one is allowed to bother Uncle Xue with this case. Xiaojing, you and me Xiaotian, please explain."
"No problem." Jin Jing dragged Xue Ruitian and explained to him the circumstances of the case.
"I probably understand what Duke Guo and General Shen mean." Bai Meng thought for a moment, "Do you think the group of people in the dungeon were the robbers back then?"
"Yes, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the gold would appear in their place." Shen Haolin glanced at the door, "Tonight, we should be able to find out the result. If it is as we guessed..."
"If Mr. Duan doesn't give us a satisfactory explanation..." Bai Meng raised her lips, "Although His Majesty is not keen on war, he should be happy to see them disappear from this world."
