Jin Miaomiao calculated the time for their return. After receiving the notification from Shadow, she had already prepared ginger soup and hot water. When they came in, without saying a word, each of them drank a bowl of hot ginger soup and then went to bed. Take a hot bath.
"Go to bed, there are a few small night watchers here." Watching Mei Lin leave, Shen Cha sat next to Shen Haolin wrapped in a thick blanket. He took the medicine bowl handed over by Jin Miaomiao from the opposite side and frowned slightly. , "The color of your medicine is getting thicker and richer, and the taste is getting more and more bitter."
"Good medicine tastes bitter." Jin Miaomiao frowned at Shen Cha and drank the medicine. "Although I haven't spent a lot of energy these days, I have spent a lot of energy, right? I told His Highness Prince Ning this afternoon. If so, I have to tell you once, overthinking is a taboo when recovering from illness."
"We are faced with a formidable enemy, internal and external troubles, and it is impossible not to waste our energy." Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder, "I can only rely on you during this period!"
"If you expect me to listen to my words, if you don't behave..." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at the two greasy guys opposite, "Although I can't beat you two in terms of force, this is Xijing. There are many people who can control you two!"
"You are such a bad learner, how can you learn how to find a backer!" Shen Cha rubbed his head on Shen Haolin's shoulder, "Miaomiao, let me ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Jin Miaomiao lay on the table and looked at Shen Cha's expression. "You can ask if you want. Why are you still hesitating?"
"I'm a little embarrassed. I think if I say this, you will definitely laugh at me and say that I am crazy and too whimsical."
"You tell me first, and then I decide whether I want to laugh at you or not after listening." Jin Miaomiao raised her chin, "Who does it have to do with? Or does it have to do with something?"
"Is it related to the old general Xuanyuan's personal entourage?" Shen Haolin tilted his head and glanced at her, rubbed her head, and said with a smile, "Do you think he looks a bit like the Tantai tribesman back then? ?”
"Brother, have you seen that portrait too?" Seeing Shen Haolin nod, Shen Cha sighed, "I know there are many people with similar looks in the world. Besides, the age difference between these two people is quite big. That was Even if Mr. Pingchuan survives, he is now 200 years younger. Not to mention being a guard jumping up and down like this, even walking has to be shaky and needs help from others. So, I know that my idea is quite good. It’s incredible, but...that guard gave me the feeling of being a special elder."
"Special elder?" Shen Haolin and Jin Miaomiao looked at each other, "What kind of description is this?"
"Well..." Shen Cha closed his eyes and recalled the last time he saw that person. "That's right, the eyes looking at me were particularly kind and full of love. That kind of eyes, I only see in the eyes of my elders." I’ve seen it happen before.”
"Hearing what you said, I suddenly remembered." Jin Miaomiao touched his chin, "Do you still remember that we went to see the old general Xuanyuan for a showdown? During the whole process of our visit to the old general, he was not far away. Although he couldn't hear what we were saying, he could clearly see what we were doing. I think he was worried that we might do something radical and hurt the old general, so he kept watch around him. At that time, I thought, this is a very conscientious guard."
"Then what?" Shen Cha looked at her, "What did you see him do that impressed you?"
"I accidentally saw his eyes looking at Xiaocha, full of love and pity. I thought it was my illusion at the time, and pretended to look back inadvertently to confirm that I was not wrong." Jin Miaomiao changed his posture, "Then At the moment, I thought that maybe he had been with General Wanyan for a long time and was influenced by the old general, so he unconsciously regarded Xiaocha as a junior."
"I thought so too, so I didn't take it to heart. It was just seeing the portrait of Tantai Pingchuan that made me suspicious."
"You don't doubt that he is Tantai Pingchuan, right?" Seeing Shen Cha blinking his eyes slowly, Shen Haolin and Jin Miaomiao shook their heads at the same time, "How is it possible? Absolutely impossible, if he is Tantai Pingchuan, no He’s just an old monster? It’s scary to think about it!”
"I'll just tell you, you will definitely laugh at me!" Shen Cha pouted, "Actually, I also feel that I am too daring to think about it. This is simply impossible." She sighed, "Maybe It’s really like you said, he just looks like Tantai Pingchuan, and he has been with the old general for a longer time, so he treats us with the attitude of elders!”
"Hey, don't get too involved. We still need to investigate based on the existing clues. Don't be distracted by these side details."
"That's what brother said!" Shen Cha closed his eyes, "I'll close my eyes for a while, and then wake me up when the commander-in-chief comes."
Shen Haolin agreed immediately, but when Shen Cha fell into a deep sleep, he picked her up and moved her to the bed in the back room.
When he walked out of it, he saw Jin Miaomiao staring at the table and drawing circles on the table with her fingers, wondering what she was thinking.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Haolin sat down and poured a cup of tea for Jin Miaomiao, "You are not seriously considering what Cha'er said, are you?"
"The small box that Xiaocha brought from Liao Kingdom was given to her by my uncle. Inside is my master's relic." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at Shen Haolin, "You know that, right?"
"I know, what's in there?"
"There is a local chronicle in there, which records some legends from various places." Jin Miaomiao tapped the table lightly, "One of the chapters talks about a man who went to climb a barren mountain, lost his footing and fell to the bottom of the mountain. A strange man saved him and gave him medicine that not only restored his health, but also kept him young forever, just..."
"Like the brothers from the Niu family?"
"There is still a fundamental difference." Jin Miaomiao shook his head, "The Niu brothers only age slowly, but they will still age. Their life span is the same as that of ordinary people, or even shorter. But this is different Yes, the so-called longevity is a piece of cake for them. Their appearance is no different from when they were young, and they don’t know when they will really grow old. Unless there is an accident, their lives are endless and endless. .”
"You mean, do you suspect that the personal followers around General Xuanyuan are also in the same situation?"
"This is just a legend in the history. No one has confirmed this, so it cannot be used as evidence." Jin Miaomiao waved his hand, "If Xiaocha hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it. If there is a chance in the future, I can give him a try. But I have little talent and knowledge, so I may not be able to give him a try."
Before Shen Haolin could speak, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, the door of the room was pushed open, and Bai Meng appeared in front of them sweating profusely.
"Leave it behind!"
