"This situation... is much bigger than expected." Jin Jing touched her chin and looked at the two portraits carefully, "The situation is much more serious than we had expected. The Wu Clan... really shouldn't be underestimated."
"Give them a chance and they will make a comeback." Shen Cha nodded in agreement, "If they make a comeback, it will be a huge trouble for everyone."
Shen Cha only learned about this witch tribe later. This magical tribe not only existed in the Jin Kingdom, but they had also appeared in Daxia. It is said that they also caused a lot of trouble in Daxia. , if the suppression was not very cruel, the Wu clan would have no room for survival at all, and they would not think of leaving the fertile land of Daxia and looking for a new living environment.
However, this happened a long, long time ago. Shen Cha only knew about it after hearing it from Qin Zheng and Uncle Yan. Qin Zheng and Uncle Yan heard it mentioned a few times by their elders in the family, but what was it like back then? None of them had witnessed the situation, and they were not very clear about it, but the ban on witchcraft in Daxia was an ironclad rule, and no one was allowed to violate it.
Wanyanxi couldn't understand what Shen Cha and Jin Jing were talking about, but he also knew that what they were talking about was not a good thing. He looked at this and that with some worry.
"Don't take it to heart." Noticing Wanyan's happy expression, Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "This matter has little to do with what we are going to do now."
"It's just... what exactly is this witch clan?" Wanyanxi felt that something happened to him, but he didn't know anything about it, so he was a little panicked and couldn't help but get to the bottom of it.
"You are still young, so you probably don't know the existence of this tribe. The people in this tribe have some tricks that are different from ordinary people, and they can do things that ordinary people can't do." Shen Cha explained a little, looked at Wan Yanxi, "Speaking of which, you probably haven't met Wanyan Ping's biological mother, right?"
"No!" Wanyanxi shook her head gently, "She had already passed away when I was born."
"Then have you heard any rumors about her?"
"Rumors? What kind of rumors?" Wanyanxi racked her brains for a long time and looked at Shen Cha with a confused look. "If the general didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought about it, except for the occasional mention by a few people. Apart from her, no one seems to have talked about her. I used to think that people were taboo and did not talk about the dead. Now that I think about it, the attitudes of the few people who have mentioned her are a bit subtle. It is not taboo, but fear."
"Did Wanyanping never say it herself?"
"Yes, she has never said it, at least she has never mentioned it in front of me. The person she talked about the most in front of me was Brother Wang, and the others..." Wanyanxi shook her head, "Not even her father was mentioned. .”
"It seems that the biological mother is really the biggest pain in Wanyan Ping's heart." Jin Jing chuckled, "This is also the source of her feud with Wanyan Zongcheng."
"Um..." Wanyanxi still looked confused, "According to what you think, her biological mother is the so-called Wu tribe member? So, isn't she a good person, why don't people mention her?"
Jin Jing looked at him, thought for a while and then said slowly, "There is no such distinction between good people and bad people. To put it simply, Wanyan Ping's biological mother was a poor person. If Wanyan Zongcheng hadn't betrayed his trust, the situation in the Kingdom of Jin would have been worse. It's not as bad as it is now." He looked at Wanyanxi and then at Shen Cha, "Let's put it this way, your father, your brother, and even your family's tragedy are all very likely to be the result of It comes from this. But now there is insufficient evidence, and we cannot draw a conclusion. If you want to know the truth, you must be ruthless, overcome all difficulties, and fight back to Yiqing Mansion. By then, you can face Wanyanping face to face Confront her and let her explain everything that has happened in these years to you in person."
Wanyan nodded happily. Although he was dizzy by the unexpected news and still didn't understand what was going on. However, he could vaguely guess that this Wu clan was not simple. These two people couldn't react like this, and he could guess from their attitudes that there were people from the Wu tribe around him, most likely the wet nurse and her son.
Thinking of this, Wanyanxi felt his heart tremble. He originally thought that his fate was tragic enough, but he didn't expect that this was just the tip of the iceberg. It can be expected that the truth that will be revealed one after another in the future may be even more... It's unacceptable.
When Wanyanxi followed Yelu Heyi and left the inn, he was in a daze. It was precisely because he realized his own insignificance that he became more determined to cooperate with Liao and Xia. It's not up to the lion to open his mouth. Anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, it won't be worse than it is now.
After seeing Yan Xi off, Shen Cha went back to her room to rest. She hadn't slept well in the past two days and needed to catch up on her sleep.
She was wrapped in a blanket and half leaning on the soft couch. In a daze, she felt someone entering his room. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a black figure entering from the door, moving softly towards where she was. direction is approaching.
When this person came to the soft couch, Shen Cha yawned and slowly sat up straight, "Here?"
"I have seen the general!" Heiying knelt down on one knee and saluted Shen Cha.
"Aren't you afraid that Yerunan will find out if you go and come back?"
"Don't be afraid. He originally told his subordinates to deliver some relatively private news to the general after seeing Yan Xi off."
"Get up!" Shen Cha pointed to the prepared stool, "Sit down!"
"Thank you General!"
The black shadow stood up and sat on the stool. Under the dim light of the moon, Yelu Heyi's handsome face clearly appeared in Shen Cha's sight.
"Thank you for your hard work these years. Yerunan is also a suspicious person. You can stay with him for so many years and become his confidant. We can't imagine the hardships involved." Shen Cha looked at him and sighed softly. He took a breath and said, "You brothers are obviously in the same place, but you can't see each other all the time. I...I can't help you."
"When the general says something like this, he doesn't treat his subordinate brothers as close people." Yelu Heyi showed a faint smile on his face, "Without the general and without the Duke, our brothers would have turned into a handful of loess long ago. , how is it possible to live such a good life like now? General, don’t say such things in the future, it’s weird. You must know that we are willing to do anything for you and the Duke. "
"Okay, I won't talk about it anymore."
"General, are you ready to go back? This time has taken too long. If we don't go back, those old people in Xijing may start to cause trouble again."
"I'm going back!" Shen Cha nodded, "What does Yerunan want you to say to me?"
"It has something to do with Yelv Ertu." Yelu Heyi lowered his voice, "His physical condition is not very good during this period, and he has been secretly looking for someone to take care of him. Moreover, the people he is looking for are not the doctors in the Imperial Hospital, but some private doctors. Famous doctor." He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is the medical record sent by the palace."
Shen Cha took it and opened it, and looked at it carefully, "It's indeed not very good, but... it's not as serious as imagined."
"Those two people know nothing about medical skills, and my subordinates can't see any problems. If it's really that serious, maybe we should be prepared." Yelu Heyi sighed, "Yelu Ertu hasn't asked for anything so far. The plan to establish the crown prince made everyone panic. If he has any accident at this time..." He looked at Shen Cha, "What should we do?"
"Of course I still have to support Yelulan, after all, it's just and justified."
"Yes, I understand." Yelu Heyi pointed to the medical record, "Yelunan means that he wants the general to take this medical record to ask the third old man and hear his thoughts."
"That's no problem. Before leaving Linhuang Mansion, I have to visit once." Shen Cha put the medical records away, "Is there any other news?"
"There is one more." Yelu Heyi nodded, "Xiao Fengqi... was expelled from the Xiao family!"
