It took Shen Cha and Jin Jing two full days to pack their belongings.
When I came here, I carried ten carloads of gifts. I thought that the gifts were almost enough and I could just drive back home. But I didn’t expect that during the more than a month in Linhuang Mansion, I gave out as much as I gave away, and took back as much as I gave away, even more than I gave away. Even more are going out.
Especially after Shen Cha recognized Third Taiye as his uncle, the elders of the Yelu family who had a good relationship with Third Taiye, although they did not visit in person and did not meet Shen Cha and Jin Jing a few times, they also took photos of the most respected juniors in the family. I brought a gift. They also knew that this was a heavy gift, and Shen Cha would definitely not accept it. The things sent were small and unspoken. The so-called gift is light but affection is heavy, as long as they can establish a relationship with Shen Jiajun.
When these elders came to send gifts, Shen Cha was still thankful. Fortunately, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing were very experienced in this kind of human relations and had prepared enough gifts in return. Otherwise, they would really be in trouble.
After two days of chaotic fighting, everyone's luggage and things that needed to be packed into boxes and cars were packed. Everyone was exhausted. They never thought that packing would be more tiring than fighting.
On the first day of their journey back to Jiapingguan City, Shen Cha and Jin Jing entered the palace to bid farewell to Yelvertu.
Yelvertu already knew the news that the Daxia delegation was leaving a few days ago when Yelulan and Yelunan held a farewell banquet for Shen Cha and Jin Jing. He was still very surprised. He thought they would leave after seeing the executions of the Jin people, Japanese people and Xiao family people. He didn't expect to leave so soon. He couldn't help but murmur his thoughts to Yelulan and Yelunan.
"General Shen and Military Advisor Jin are a bit interesting. They are people who can see things clearly. They are the last to come and the first to leave. Although they have a close relationship with us now, they will never ask us for anything based on this. I have seen this People in the big world are just different. Look at those people in Tubo who can't stand on the stage. They said they wanted to leave eight hundred years ago, but even now, they have no intention of leaving."
"Yes, you are right."
Following Shen Cha and Jin Jing's suggestions, the two Yelu masters obediently agreed with Yelu Ertu, who was in poor health and increasingly bad-tempered, and waited to see Shen Cha and Jin Jing. After that, they expressed their true feelings and felt that the disease was more serious than the Third Master expected.
Shen Cha didn't know if the two young masters were careless and confused, which was a bit exaggerated. However, when she and Jin Jing were led into the side hall where Yelvertu rested by the chamberlain, and the moment they entered, they felt the smell of medicine hitting their faces, she finally believed what the two young masters said was true.
"The envoy from Daxia met with the King of Liao."
Shen Cha and Jin Jing saluted Yelvertu, who was sitting upright, and looked carefully at the person in front of them, who looked more haggard than before.
The whole person has become skinny and skinny, and his cheeks are deeply sunken, making his cheekbones appear to be getting higher and higher. To put it bluntly, it is much scarier than the death of the previous Liao king, and he is almost like a living dead.
"Ahem, cough, I'm really sorry. I scared you two like this." Yelvertu covered his mouth and coughed twice, "There are a lot of things during this time, and I am too busy. I didn't sleep well. I accidentally contracted the cold a few days ago, so please forgive me for my rudeness."
"The King of Liao must take good care of himself. Government affairs will never be finished."
Shen Cha and Jin Jing thanked them. After sitting down, they nodded towards the waiter who served them tea and expressed their gratitude to him.
"Not only did we not entertain you well during the days when you two lived in Linhuang Mansion, but we also caused too much trouble to you. I'm really sorry."
Shen Cha had always been able to stay silent outside, as long as he looked like he was sitting upright, leaving all problems to Jin Jing, and this time there was no exception when facing Yelv Ertu.
"Hey, what did the King of Liao say? The assassins and killers were not sent by the King of Liao, so why do you have to apologize?" Jin Jing waved her hands, "Speaking of which, we have to thank the King of Liao for his support, otherwise , guys with ulterior motives like the Xiao family, the Jin people, and the Japanese people can't be caught by us by following the clues, right? The King of Liao doesn't mind making the family scandal public, so we are very grateful for letting us participate. "
After Yelvertu coughed violently, he calmly waved his hands towards Shen Cha and Jin Jing, which meant that you're welcome.
Seeing how sad he was, Shen Cha and Jin Jing couldn't stay any longer, so they got up and left after sitting for a while.
Yelvertu refused to hold back and asked the chamberlain to send the two of them to the gate of the palace.
"The king said, I am very sorry to you two adults. I originally wanted to talk to the adults, but I didn't expect that my body can't support it. I ask for your understanding."
"Please tell the King of Liao to take care of yourself and don't work too hard."
"Thank you both for your understanding!"
"Stay and say goodbye."
Shen Cha and Jin Jing walked out of the palace gate, looked at each other, and sighed in unison.
"What a pity!" Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha, "Did you see anything?"
"There is no way to save the situation, we can only maintain the status quo. The judgment of the uncle and the imperial doctor is correct." Shen Cha curled his lips, "Five years... is really overestimated. In my opinion, it only lasts for these two years. "
"Is it so serious? Does that mean there is nothing we can do?"
"Yes." Shen Cha nodded, "Like I said, completely retire and recuperate, maybe it can be extended for a few more years, otherwise..."
"He will not retreat. Even if he dies, he will die on the throne. He is the kind of person who would rather sacrifice his life than his wealth." Jin Jing shook her head, "When I was at my most prosperous, I probably never imagined that I would end up in this situation. This field, right?”
"Birth, old age, illness and death are all human beings. He probably didn't expect this day to come so quickly."
"The days ahead for the two brothers will be a little harder than imagined." After finding Mei Zhu and An Ming waiting outside, Jin Jing waved her hands towards them, "Let's go back!"
"General, strategist!" Two people came up to meet them. Mei Zhu looked at this and then at that, "Why so fast?"
"The King of Liao is not feeling well. We don't want to bother him any more. We just said goodbye and left." Jin Jing touched her chin, "Looking at the expressions of you two, what happened while we were in the palace?"
"Master Xiao just sent someone to say that he really couldn't spare the time to see us off. He wished us a safe journey."
"The Xiao family has made such a big mistake, and it will not be easy to deal with the aftermath. He needs to keep an eye on everything." Shen Cha nodded, "By the way, did he say how to deal with the elders of the Xiao family?"
"Oh, Mr. Xiao also specially asked the people who came to tell him that several elders, nephews and confidants who had close ties with the Japanese were all imprisoned on death row. He had discussed it with Mr. Yelu, and the executions would be carried out after the envoys from various countries left. , in front of all the people of Linhuang Mansion."
"I know!" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows at Jin Jing, "After this incident is over, people will mention Xiao Feng and Mr. Xiao again, and he will be a fierce man who killed his relatives out of justice. His reputation, which had plummeted, was restored at once. "
"No, there is no need to rebuild this time. Just cross out the elders' clan members from the genealogy and completely draw a clear line with them." Seeing a candied haws seller on the street, Jin Jing ran over and gave each Everyone bought a bunch. When I handed it to An Ming, I saw that he was embarrassed, so he opened the other person's hand and forced the candied haws in his hand, "Take it, there is nothing wrong with it, your brother is so good at this."
An Ming looked at the candied haws in his hand with resistance on his face, "I really don't like it. Since he likes it, I'll take it back to him."
Jin Jing took a bite of the one in her hand, shrugged towards An Ming, turned around and followed Shen Cha, "The letter for Haolin and Xiaotian should be here soon, right?"
Shen Cha smiled, raised his head and looked at the blue sky, "I hope tomorrow will be a good day!"
