It was close to noon the next day when Shen Cha woke up. The weather was too cold and she was a little lazy. She lingered in bed for a while before putting on her robe and getting out of bed. After walking around the screen, they saw Mei Lin, Mei Zhu, Ying Qi, and Ying Ba lying on the small soft couch sleeping soundly. She sighed. Not only was she tired these days, but the people around her were even more tired.
After standing by the soft couch and watching for a while, Shen Cha covered them with quilts and blankets, and then added charcoal to the fire.
It was rare for these four guys to really fall asleep and sleep so soundly. Shen Cha didn't intend to wake them up. There was nothing to do anyway, just stay in the inn.
She washed up gently, changed her clothes, looked at the four people who were still awake, and then quietly went out.
When she came to the lobby downstairs, she saw that the shopkeeper was arranging the work for the guys, so she walked over and said hello.
"General, get up." The shopkeeper looked Chen Cha up and down, "It looks much better than yesterday."
"Slept well." Shen Cha smiled, "Mr. Nan has left?"
"Yes, my young master has already gone to the palace. There is no conclusion yet on the matter of the late king's coffin entering the royal mausoleum. It is expected that the quarrel will last for several days."
"How good is Mr. Nan's voice? Can he withstand such a quarrel?"
"Much better than the past few days." The shopkeeper nodded towards Shen Cha, "Thanks to the medicine the general sent, it is much more effective than what the young master took before. The young master felt less pain when he woke up this morning, and the number of coughs was also reduced. Less than the past few days.”
"It's good if it's useful. Mr. Nan has helped us a lot. There's no need to say thank you for such a small effort." Shen Cha waited until a few waiters left before saying to the shopkeeper, "Please help me prepare some lighter food. It's soupy and watery." Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
"The military advisor has just given instructions. The kitchen is being prepared. General, just wait a moment."
"The military advisor is up already?" Shen Cha looked around, "Where is he? Has he returned to his room already?"
"Get up a little earlier than the general." The shopkeeper put a new piece of charcoal in Shen Cha's hand stove. "The military advisor was drinking tea in the tea room. He said that the general was about to get up, so he asked the general to move to the tea room." As he said, he He took a bowl of steaming milk tea from the waiter and placed it in front of Shen Cha, "General, drink a little of this first to warm yourself up."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Shen Cha held the milk tea, bowed slightly to the shopkeeper and waiter, turned and walked towards the tea room.
The waiter watched Shen Cha's back disappear from sight and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know what happened to her. She feels completely different from what she met on the battlefield two years ago."
"The battlefield is a battlefield, and private life is private. If it were the same, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive this day." The shopkeeper slapped the waiter on the head, "Look at those generals who have been on the battlefield and are soaked in blood. They are also very friendly in private. Otherwise, if they keep a straight face all day long and exude murderous aura, who do you think would want to live with them under the same roof?"
"That's true!" The waiter nodded, "I have seen several generals, and they seemed like a different person when they went to the battlefield."
"However, you are very lucky. Anyone who encounters this general on the battlefield will not end well. You are able to come back with your beard and tail intact. It is very enviable!" The shopkeeper sighed, "Hey, It’s strange to say, no matter how many of our brothers died at the hands of this general who ruled the country, when I really saw her, I couldn’t hate her! Did you feel the same way when you saw her that time? "
"You always don't know that that time, we and the Shen family army were allies, and we worked together to deal with Jin. Naturally, there was no danger, but there was no special feeling. After all, I took a look from a distance, and there was no Like now, we have had such close contact. But the rumors are not groundless. This general is indeed a god of killing. In other words, the Shen family army, starting from the marshal to the generals who lead the troops, are all such people. Even from a distance I felt shuddering just looking at it." The waiter touched his chin and said, "To be honest, I was still a little worried since I found out that we were responsible for receiving the Xia State envoys and the generals of the Zhen State here."
"No, I feel the same as you." The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, "It's not a little bit of worry, it's a lot of worries. I've always felt that neither she nor Shen Jiajun is the kind of person who is easy. People who are close and easy to get along with, regardless of the rumors outside, they all come from a high family and grew up in fine clothing and food, and they are the most difficult to maintain."
"But who would have thought that this general and the military counselor have no airs at all and are very polite to us. They are different from the young men, young ladies and merchants we usually see. "The waiter touched his chin, "To be honest, I envy these accompanying guards, who can get the respect, care and love of the generals and military advisors. Our young master is also very good to us, but..."
"Unless you are like Mr. Heyi and can stay with him and become his right-hand man, otherwise, don't think about the things you have and don't have." The shopkeeper patted him, "Okay, don't sigh, go to the kitchen to see the food. Okay, don’t starve the people you admire!”
Watching the waiter running to the kitchen with the speed of a charge on the battlefield, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, sat back in his seat, and continued to worry about the next half month of cooking.
Shen Cha didn't know what the shopkeeper and the waiter were talking about her, Jin Jing and the entire Shen family army behind her back. She drank milk tea while walking, slowly walked to the door of the tea room, opened the door gently, and walked in to see Jin Jing was seen lazily leaning on the table, holding an idle book she bought from someone who knew where, and was reading while shaking her head.
Hearing the sound coming from the door, Jin Jing didn't even look up, yawned and stretched out a hand to shake.
"Hey, you got up so early? I thought you had to sleep a little longer!"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha responded, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged opposite Jin Jing, "Why did you get up so early? Weren't you busy till late yesterday?"
"It's not too late. I'm just going to bed an hour later than you at most." Jin Jing looked at the milk tea in Chen Cha's hand, "Tsk, the shopkeeper is quite biased. What he gave you is such a delicious milk tea, and what he gave me is just one A bowl of plain water is tasteless!"
"Do you like this? Here, let me drink it for you." Shen Cha poured the more than half remaining milk tea into Jin Jing's empty bowl, "How are the assassins doing?"
"The three whose ribs were broken by me have regained consciousness. The doctor said that they can be cured after ten days and a half. The others have minor injuries and will recover in three to five days." Jin Jing took a sip of milk tea. "Yelunan accepted your suggestion and imprisoned them separately according to different camps. Now it's time for them to figure it out and make a wise choice."
"The three people from Jin Kingdom probably think that we are keeping these assassins to question them about the purpose of their trip." Shen Cha took a cushion and leaned against the wall lazily, "But they don't know Yes, we already know the purpose of their trip." She looked at Jin Jing, "If those assassins still refuse to speak, what are Yerunan's plans?"
"Why do you think he sent troops to surround the Jinguo Posthouse?" Jin Jing raised an eyebrow, "Are he really worried that these three people would sneak away and then their respective masters would inform them?"
"Of course not. Even if they run away from Linhuang Mansion, they can be caught as long as they don't leave the territory of Liao Kingdom. Yerunan should be worried about..." A sharp light flashed in Shen Cha's eyes, "They Are you ready to kill people and silence them?"
"clever!"
"So, do you want to pretend that the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin sent people to the prison to kill people and silence them?" Shen Cha shook his head, "This... is not appropriate. Those people in the prison are already the most powerful people that the three envoys of the Kingdom of Jin can send. They are the strongest and most powerful masters. How can the remaining people break through the blockade of the Liao soldiers, break through the guards of the prison, break into the prison and assassinate them? Those assassins have no brains. After a little thinking, they figure out that something is wrong. coming."
"You are overthinking, and you will definitely not do this. This approach is too stupid." Jin Jing waved her hand, "He wanted to put strong pressure on the three people from the Jin Kingdom and let them talk about the assassins themselves. Whether the matter is framed or slandered, no matter whether it is true or not, as long as it is written in black and white on the paper and signed and stamped, it is a fact."
"Show the testimony to the assassins. Being betrayed again and again is undoubtedly another heavy blow to them." Shen Cha nodded, "After this time, what they should say and what they should not say , they will all say it out loud."
"That's right!" Jin Jing clapped her hands, "And what they said is also very helpful to us."
"To us?" Shen Cha was stunned, "You mean...no way? Judging from their young age, it shouldn't be related, right?"
"Let's fight if we have dates or not!" Jin Jing finished the last sip of milk tea. "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must hold on tightly!"
