Shen Cha and Jin Jing sent Qi Zhifeng to the door of Qi Mansion, watched him enter the room with their own eyes, and then left with others and walked towards the inn.
On the way back, Qi Zhifeng planned to invite them to his home to sit down, have a cup of tea, and get to know his mother. Unfortunately, it was too late now, and the wind and snow outside were too heavy, so it was inconvenient to come, so Qi Zhifeng had to give up the proposal.
Shen Cha didn't want to look at his disappointed little face and promised him to pay him a visit in a few days when he was free.
"Haolin is right. If you have children in the future, you will be extremely doting on them." Jin Jing followed Shen Cha on horseback, "This brother Afeng has no relationship with you. It’s just that you’ve become attached to Jiu’er, so you treat him…”
"Brother Xiaojing, don't talk nonsense. We had planned to come to your door, didn't we?" Shen Cha glanced at Jin Jing lightly, then reached out to brush the snowflakes off his shoulders, "Now I just sold him a favor. Isn’t it pretty good!”
"You have a sharp tongue and a soft heart, so you should be tough-talking!"
Shen Cha smiled and raised his head to look at the sky. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the weather was getting colder and colder. However, the cold air is good for them, allowing their feverish and dizzy minds to quickly cool down.
"Xiaocha, after watching it all night, did you see any clues?"
"Oh, there are indeed many doorways, and the water in the Liao Kingdom's court is still very deep. Just look at the seating arrangements for the palace banquet tonight, and you can already understand it. Those who are not ranked and are not qualified to attend the palace banquet Not to mention the small nobles, we have not seen them. They are basically dependent on these big nobles. And these big nobles look up to the Yelu family and the Xiao family respectively. They dislike each other and dislike each other. Yes, there are also those who openly ignore each other but are hooking up behind their backs, and those who appear to be good enough to wear a pair of trousers, but are actually stabbing each other in the back." Shen Cha sighed softly. He took a breath and said, "It's not just the nobles, it's the same with the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. Civil servants can't stand the military generals, and the military generals look down on the civil servants. Those who get involved with both sides will be attracted or excluded by both sides."
"Yeah, it's a mess! However, we can all see things like this clearly. It's impossible for Yelvertu not to know. It's just that it's too difficult to deal with such an intricate relationship. If you use it all, You have to be cautious." Jin Jing sighed, "It is not easy to balance the relationship between the court and the court. There are too many things that need to be scrupulous and favors that need to be considered."
"That's right." Shen Cha nodded in agreement, "Yelvertu was just the regent before, and he should have seen the secrets here at that time, and he was even the hand that disturbed this muddy water. . As long as the situation in the court is calm and he and the family and nobles behind him are not harmed, he can pretend that he didn't see, hear, or know, and let the people below to toss and make trouble. But the current situation is... It's different. Those who are in Cao's camp and have a heart for Han, who have one foot on two boats or many boats. If he continues to pretend to be deaf and mute and no longer cares, in less than two years, he is afraid that the same disaster as Jin will happen. Come."
"Yelurtu will never let what happened to Jin happen to him. It is precisely because of this that he can't wait to cooperate with us and use our strength to help him clean up these troubles. On the surface, it is an equal share... Who knows if he will throw those thorns in his eyes and flesh that he wants to get rid of onto the battlefield. In this way, the life and death of these people will depend on God's will and has nothing to do with him or the Yelu family." Jin Jing smiled, "He Being able to come up with such a method can only mean that he is old and his energy and physical strength are not as good as before."
"I agree!" Looking at the brightly lit inn not far away, Shen Cha sighed softly, "The decisive and decisive person in the past has completely disappeared."
After getting off their horses in front of the inn, Shen Cha and Jin Jing handed the horse ropes to the inn clerk who had been waiting at the door early, and told An Ming, Li Jun and Dai Yi to take their brothers to have a good rest. It was a tiring night. .
"Strategic Advisor!" An Ming gently tugged on Jin Jing, "We were listening to some things in the tent outside. I don't know if it is useful or useless. I..."
"Is it related to us?"
"It almost doesn't matter. It's mostly a matter between the high-ranking families in Linhuang Mansion."
"That's it!" Jin Jing thought for a moment and looked at Shen Cha who was being supported by Mei Lin and Mei Zhu as he walked back to the room. "The general may not be feeling well, and it's too late today. Since it has nothing to do with us, tomorrow Let’s talk about it! Hot water should be prepared in the kitchen so that the brothers can take a hot bath and have a good sleep.”
"yes!"
After sending An Ming away, Jin Jing quickly caught up with Shen Cha, reached out and touched her forehead, frowning slightly.
"Mei Zhu, go make the medicine, and Mei Lin, go prepare the hot water. I'll help her in." Jin Jing sighed, "When did you start feeling uncomfortable? Why didn't you tell me? If I had known, I would have asked you to come back. Got it!"
"It's not too uncomfortable, just a little headache. Don't be so nervous."
After entering the room, Shen Cha leaned on the couch for a while. Mei Lin came back with hot water and Jin Jing gave a few more instructions before returning to his own room.
After taking a hot bath and drinking the medicine, Shen Cha felt that her headache was a little better, but her eyelids became heavier and she fell into a deep sleep before Mei Zhu could dry her hair.
Mei Lin and Mei Zhu moved the buckets away and set up a screen. In Chen Cha's condition, they did not dare to leave, so they stayed on the couch by the window.
I originally thought that the night would go by like this, but I didn't expect that just after the second watch, there was a lot of noise and chaos outside.
Hearing the commotion outside, Mei Lin's subconscious reaction was not to wake up Shen Cha. She quickly jumped off the couch, walked around the screen, and rushed to Shen Cha's window. She saw that her general was still sleeping deeply. I felt relieved when I was woken up by the sound outside.
He gestured to Mei Zhu and asked her to go out and inquire about the situation. Before Mei Zhu went out, Ying Ba came in quietly.
"How is the boss?" After Yingba entered the room, he stood farthest from the bed and asked in a low voice, "Still asleep?"
"She took the medicine and fell asleep. I took a look just now and found that she no longer had a fever." Mei Zhu pointed to the outside of the house, "What are they shouting about outside? What happened in the middle of the night?"
"I……"
Before Yingpachi could start speaking, the door of the room was pushed open again, and Jin Jing, who was wearing a thick fox fur, ran in barefooted. Looking at the expressions of Mei Lin, Mei Zhu and Yingpachi, she breathed a sigh of relief.
He wrapped his fox fur tightly and turned around the screen to take a look at Shen Cha. He found that she was not disturbed by the noise outside, and his worries were completely relieved.
"Strategy! Strategist!" Ying Ba waved to Jin Jing and asked him to sit on the couch. He watched Mei Zhu serve him hot tea and said in a low voice, "Something happened. The post house where the Tubo people were staying was damaged. "
"Tubo people? Post house?" Jin Jing took two sips of hot tea and took two deep breaths, "Humph, what is supposed to come will eventually come. Have you caught the Tubo people who set the fire?"
"What a wise military advisor!" Yingba gave a thumbs up, "How do you know it was the Tubo people who did it?"
"At the palace banquet last night, they were ridiculed and left the banquet in anger, shouting that they would take revenge." Jin Jing sneered, "I didn't expect this Tubo man to keep his word. Fortunately, Huihe and Duan's envoys The whole group has moved away, otherwise the trap will become even bigger."
