In the next few days, brothers Yelulan and Yelunan spent most of their time in prison, but they had closer contact with the inn.
Yelu Heyi, Qi Zhifeng, and even Xiao Fengqi were all helping to pass on the news and inform Shen Cha and Jin Jing of the detailed interrogation progress.
On the issue of treating the Japanese, almost all countries and everyone have the same position. They will never allow the Japanese to dominate them, and what the Jin people have done has gone beyond The issue of internal fighting in the Kingdom of Jin has offended the interests of all neighboring countries. If it violates a taboo, it will naturally become the target of public criticism.
"Linhuang Mansion is so lively now!" Xiao Fengqi, who ran out of the prison to get some fresh air and deliver news, said while eating noodles, "Those envoys can't leave here, so they can only deliver letters to the country, post houses and inns. People come in and out every day, and the lights are brightly lit every night. There are basically no places as quiet as yours."
"If we deal with the Japanese, our Majesty and the navy in the southern border will be responsible. It has little to do with us. We only need to pay attention to the Japanese's confession." Jin Jing smiled, looked at Xiao Fengqi who was devouring the food, and frowned, " Judging from the confessions we have obtained so far, your interrogation did not go very well."
"It was very unsatisfactory. The newly captured bones were very hard. Apart from telling us that it was indeed the Jin people who arranged their actions, they refused to say anything else. The Jin delegation was also gritting their teeth, one by one. They all refused to speak, really..." Xiao Fengqi rubbed his forehead, "I don't know what benefits the Jin people promised these Japanese people, but they actually worked so hard to protect the Jin people. If I remember correctly, the Japanese people have always been Do you bully the weak and be afraid of the strong? Whoever has a strong fist will obey? The current situation is really too abnormal. "
"The benefits promised made them excited, and the Jin promised not to give up on them. As long as they don't reveal important clues, the benefits will still be theirs." Jin Jing looked at Xiao Fengqi, "By the way, it's not about sending someone to Has the Kingdom of Jin sent a letter? No definite answer has been sent back?"
"Not yet, most likely they are denying it and blaming everything on the envoy." Xiao Fengqi shook his head gently, "It's just that when the envoy comes back, you have all returned to Jiaping Pass City." He looked at Shen Tea, "Are you sure when you will leave?"
"Wait a little longer. If the messenger can come back in time, we can get their complete confessions. The troops we sent out can be regarded as a well-known division."
"That's right!" Xiao Fengqi glanced at Jin Jing, who had been staring at him, and reached out to touch his face, "Is there something on my face?"
"No!" Jin Jing shook her head, "I'm just curious. Young Master Xiao and the Xiao family are very cooperative and very active this time. It's really unexpected."
"Three generations back in the Xiao family, all of their children died at the hands of the Japanese, and it was very tragic. Therefore, we have a sworn blood feud with them." Xiao Fengqi didn't mind Jin Jing's slightly teasing words at all. His attitude is still very indifferent, "We are different from the Wanyan family. We can still distinguish between such big things as right and wrong."
"I'm really sorry. This... I don't know anymore. If it offended me, I apologize."
"What does this have to do with the military advisor? Why does the military advisor need to apologize? The military advisor did not instruct the Japanese to kill my people."
"These are two different things." Shen Cha waved his hand, "If you offend the deceased, you still have to apologize."
Xiao Fengqi was quite embarrassed by the singing and singing of these two people. After all, when they met, even if they were discussing cooperation or something, they were doing it openly and secretly. It's all very common. They suddenly felt so sincere today, and he really couldn't accept it for a while.
"But..." Before Xiao Fengqi could finish being moved, Shen Cha continued, "I didn't expect that the Xiao family also has a relationship with the Japanese. Are you planning to cooperate with them?"
When Xiao Fengqi heard Shen Cha's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. Sure enough, it was all his illusion that he was moved, and nothing had changed.
After seeing off Xiao Fengqi, Shen Cha and Jin Jing originally wanted to discuss when would be a better time to return to Jiaping Pass and inform their families of their plans in advance. As soon as they said a few words, the shopkeeper came to report, and Yelu Heyi sent Wan Yanxi over. .
"Please!"
Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other, and they could more or less guess Wanyanxi's purpose.
Wan Yanxi wore a black cloak, wrapped herself tightly, and followed the shopkeeper and Yelu Heyi into the inn.
"Please sit down!" Shen Cha looked at Yelu Heyi, saw the deep shadows under his eyes, and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"You're welcome, General!" Yelu saluted appropriately, "You guys chat, I'll leave first. I'll come back to pick up Young Master Wanyan in an hour."
"Where are you going? Look how tired you are! Your young master asked you to come here just because he wanted you to have a rest!" Jin Jing saw him hurriedly trying to avoid suspicion and found it funny, "Shopkeeper, Stop him, prepare a guest room for him, and let him have a good sleep. When he wakes up, prepare food for him. Each of you thinks you are a god and does not eat the fireworks of the world, right? "
"Military advisor, I have something else to do. I..." Seeing Jin Jing's expression, Yelu Heyi felt that his life might be in danger if he continued speaking. He sighed softly and could only hang his head and left with the shopkeeper.
Seeing Yelu Heyi leaving, Shen Cha turned his eyes to Wanyanxi and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw his face that looked much more haggard than the previous few days.
"What did Young Master Wanyan want to say when he came to see us?"
"I...I formally request your country's help. No matter what conditions your country proposes, I will agree." Wanyanxi looked at Shen Cha and then at Jin Jing, took a deep breath, and continued, " This is my decision and there will be no changes. Later, I will go to Xijing in person to formally make this request to your Majesty and formally sign the contract."
"Have you really thought about it?" Jin Jing poured him a cup of tea and handed it over, "Once you start, it's impossible to turn back."
"I understand, there is no turning back when you shoot a bow." Wanyanxi smiled bitterly, "I never thought about turning back. If I don't succeed, I will be a benevolent person. After that night, I realized that I was too naive before, or maybe I was too naive before. I was protected so well. I thought I had tasted all the tastes of the world, but I didn’t expect..." He shook his head gently, "I was still crushed by reality."
"Are they like them? I mean your old troops with brother Wen. Do you hate them for betraying their trust at a critical moment and not caring about your life or death?"
"It's a lie to say I don't hate Wanyanping, but it's not as deep as my hatred for Wanyanping. Probably because I've never met them or dealt with them." Wanyanxi sighed, "In the end, our mutual feelings are We have never met each other before and don’t know each other very well. It’s understandable that they can’t trust me and refuse to help me. In fact, when I didn’t find them in Xijing last time, I thought about this possibility. But at that time, I I still have some illusions."
"Speaking of this, I want to ask you, are you sure that the people in Xijing are left to you by your brother Wang and brother Yuwen?" Jin Jing narrowed her eyes, "You no longer have old friends around you, how do you know that you, the king, are in Xijing? Brother’s person?”
"My nanny's son told me this. He died of illness two years ago. He told me this before he left." Wanyan frowned and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"I don't know yet." Jin Jing shook her head, "Master Wanyan, maybe you have heard of the Wu Clan."
"Witch Clan? I've never heard of it." Wanyanxi looked confused, "What is that? Does it have anything to do with us?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Jin Jing glanced at Shen Cha and waved to Mei Lin, who was not far away, asking her to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "Do you still have an impression of your nanny and her son? Can you please Can you draw their faces?"
"sure."
Wanyanxi finished painting the portrait requested by Jin Jing in the time it took to draw a stick of incense. He gently dried the ink stains on it and handed the portrait over.
Shen Cha took Jin Jing's hand and looked at the two figures carefully, then nodded towards Jin Jing who was looking over.
"As expected, it is indeed the case."
