"To be honest, Duan Xinglong is...well, he is really admirable, amazing, amazing!"
Everyone who returned to Nuange still hadn't recovered from Duan Xinglong's heroic words, and they sighed again and again.
Shen Cha had a bad throat and was coughing all the time when he came back from the dungeon. His overall condition was particularly bad. Now that he has finally recovered, he leans on Shen Haolin's shoulder with a tired face, looking lazy.
"How are you? Still feeling uncomfortable?" Xue Ruitian came over to look at Shen Cha and asked worriedly, "Your face is so red. Do you want Miao Miao to come and take a look?"
"It's okay, brother Xiaotian, don't worry." Shen Cha said hoarsely, coughed twice, shook the pile of paper in his hand, and then took the ones that Ying Wu had brought over before and handed them to Xue Ruitian, "Brother Xiaotian , compare the two copies, what’s the difference?”
"Okay!" Xue Ruitian nodded, took Duan Xinglong's two confessions, ran to sit next to Jin Jing, and the two of them compared each other seriously, "Having said that, Duan Xinglong's reaction was really unexpected. I thought, he After knowing that he was removed from the list, he was just disappointed, and the most he could do was yell. Unexpectedly..." He shook his head, "In the future, people from Liao and Jin can't be too ruthless. This person named Duan... is actually more ruthless."
"We didn't have much contact with the Duan family before, and our understanding of them was not deep enough. The things we know about the Duan family are only through the shadows and people who have fought or dealt with the Duan family. I heard it from the general’s mouth. I always thought that their stories would be mixed with some personal preferences or prejudices, which would be unfair and not realistic enough. But I didn’t expect that what Duan Wangwang and Duan Xinglong did... It’s even worse than that!”
Shen Haolin covered Shen Cha with a blanket and reached out to touch her forehead. Jin Miaomiao had explained before that once Cha starts to cough, she is particularly prone to fever. She must pay close attention to her. Once symptoms of fever appear, she must Going to find her.
"If you feel like it's getting hot, you must tell me." Seeing Shen Cha nod, Shen Haolin added, "Duan Xinglong's shamelessness is indeed... I was also scared when he said that."
"Yes, I really thought he was talking nonsense and talking casually. I didn't expect..." Xue Ruitian raised his head and glanced at Shen Haolin, "But his very serious and serious look scared me, especially It was the look in his eyes when he said this..." He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "It was so firm that I confirmed that he was not joking and really wanted to destroy the Duan family."
"When we are good, we are holding each other's back, calling each other brothers, even wearing the same clothes is too fat. But when we fall out, the previous friendship is completely gone, and each of them wants to put the other to death." Shen Cha said to Shen Haolin She held her hand and took two sips of the tea that Jin Miaomiao made for her, which was good for her throat. "I don't understand what sharing weal and woe means at all."
"Xiaocha, you think too highly of them. If they knew this, they wouldn't kill each other so fiercely." Xue Ruitian sneered, "One wants to kill people to protect himself and his own interests. The other one is very worried. He knows that he will not survive, so he wants to drag people who betrayed him into trouble." He shook his head, "Sometimes, I wonder, should Duan respect the Buddha or destroy the Buddha?"
"Whether it's respecting the Buddha or worshiping the Buddha, it's just their method, don't take it too seriously." Jin Jing compared the two confessions, "Okay, the contents of the two confessions are basically the same. What he said We all know most of those things. What we don't know is not too important and has no use value at all." He stretched his waist and said, "That's right when you think about it. He has been out for more than ten years. He has never been back during this period, and he doesn’t know Duan’s current situation as clearly as we do!”
"What Xiaojing said is that the Duan family has been fighting fiercely in the past few years, and the generals in charge of the army have changed one after another. The old generals he knows have long since retired, or in other words, they have been squeezed out by young people and have no place. Now. The Duan family is leading the army now, a young general from Yishui. He is not very old and has a strong utilitarianism. I heard from Uncle Qin that those boys are quite capable, but they have no idea of cooperating with others. Everyone just I think about being in the limelight, making military exploits, and showing off my power in front of others, but I don’t understand strategies and tactics at all.” Xue Ruitian yawned and leaned on Jin Jing’s leg, “Let me see. The Duan family will be destroyed sooner or later, so there is no need for us to worry about it. They will either die from fighting among themselves, or they will commit suicide and hand over the great rivers and mountains to others. "
"That's right." Jin Jing nodded in agreement, "Actually, everyone does such things as inserting spies and dispatching agents, so we all know it well. Even if the trick is occasionally exposed, it does not harm the interests of both parties. It's better for them to turn a blind eye and close one eye. They spend all day thinking about how to instigate others to cause chaos. You see, everyone has their own worries now. They don't have time to deal with them, so they are so blind. Jump around. Once you have dealt with the trouble of your own injury and freed up time, it's time to take care of them. The Duan family's destruction is already doomed, it's just a matter of time."
At this time, the door of Nuange was pushed open by Yingwu and he hurriedly ran in.
"Marshal, Marquis, General, and Military Advisor!" Ying Wu knelt down on one knee, holding a bamboo tube in both hands. "The secret message just came from the Kingdom of Jin. Wan Yanping is gathering the army, raising food and wages, and preparing to send troops."
"What?" Shen Cha sat up straight, "Where is the target? Is it us, or..."
"It's not us, nor the Liao people. It's them who started the chaos." Ying Wu stood up and presented the bamboo tube in his hand to Chen Cha, "The specific details of how it happened were not written in the secret letter. It just said that this time The situation is very different from before. Not only is Wanyanping and the rest of the Wanyan family fighting, the remaining eight major tribes of the Jin Kingdom are also watching, and Yiqing Mansion is already in chaos."
"From my perspective, this should still be a hidden danger caused by Wanyan Zong's succession to the throne."
"Brother is right. Wanyan Zongcheng is actually not able to convince the public. Therefore, it is normal for some people to be unable to sit still in his current situation." Shen Cha finished reading the secret letter and handed it to Shen Haolin, "Now there is no If the war really starts, when Wanyan Zongcheng really dies, the Kingdom of Jin will fall into complete chaos." She looked at Ying Wu, "Send a message to Xiaomin and see if the spies from the Liao Kingdom have sent back the same news. If not, , you can reveal your tone a little, but Xiaomin must remember to hide yourself well, this kind of words must come from the mouth of the Liao people themselves."
"Yes, boss!" Ying Wu nodded, "It's just... the border that was just opened, will it be closed again, in case..."
"We have no worries in this regard." Shen Haolin shook his head, "The real worry should be the Jin Kingdom itself. What the nine major families are afraid of is not fighting with each other, but that we and Liao will take the opportunity to attack them, causing them to fall into deeper trouble. Chaos, and enemies from both sides. So..." He handed the secret message to Ying Wu and asked him to show it to Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, and continued, "So, it is not us who really want to block the border, but Jin himself."
"That's right." Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing gathered together and quickly read the letter, "But we can't be unprepared at all. Once the war breaks out, many people in the Jin Kingdom may run away and flee. Will there be people inside? Maybe it’s the Jin people’s meticulous work. Haolin, Xiaocha..." Xue Ruitian raised his head, "My suggestion is to double the number of patrols outside the city. From now on, the number of patrols will be changed every hour, and the number will be extended to every two. Hours, and then additional mobile patrols will be dispatched. If necessary, the newcomers from the Shadow Camp can be trained, pretending to be ordinary people, and blending in with the people entering and leaving the city. If there is anyone suspicious, don’t rush to take action, wait to follow up Go to a secluded place and take it down in one fell swoop.”
"Okay." Shen Haolin looked at Ying Wu, "Just do as the Marquis said and go ahead!"
"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"
Watching Ying Wu leave Nuange, Shen Cha smiled and leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder again.
"In a good mood?" Shen Haolin looked at her and trimmed her hair. "Hearing such news, my spirits improved."
"She obviously has some bad idea." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "Every time she shows such an expression, someone will be unlucky. I don't know if it is the Liao people or the Jin people who are unlucky this time."
"I was wondering what kind of reaction Wanyanxi would make if he knew the news." Shen Cha touched his chin, "Since Yiqing Mansion is already in a mess, I shouldn't care about it becoming more chaotic, right? ?”
