"What is this for?" Shen Haolin took Shen Cha's arm, "Do you have any special arrangements?"
"Brother, there have been a lot of things these past two days. Are you overwhelmed with work? Are you living a dull life?" Shen Cha smiled, "Tomorrow is the Commander-in-Chief's birthday, and Sister Jinyu wants to hold a small family banquet for him." She shook her pulled arm and said, "Didn't the invitation be given to us a long time ago? I reminded you yesterday, but have you forgotten it?"
Shen Haolin raised his head and looked at the sky, thought for a while, then shook his head at Shen Cha, saying that he didn't remember it at all.
"Xiaocha, you don't have to rely on Haolin's memory." Song Jue was a little gloating, "It's good that he can remember what he did this morning. Yesterday was still too far away for him. "
"Well, I remember that some people were three or four years old and would be awakened by thunder. After waking up, they would cry loudly and have to be hugged by the Queen Mother before they can fall asleep." Shen Haolin counterattacked calmly, " This situation seems to have improved after I was seven or eight years old, or even ten years old, right?"
"You can't blame me. Master Huilan said that I'm very light and can be easily frightened." Song Jue didn't care at all when Shen Haolin poked his scar. In his opinion, it was not something to be embarrassed about. I find it very interesting. "It will get better as you grow older."
"Bazi Qing?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "I think I heard the master mention it!" Seeing what her brother wanted to say, she quickly brought the topic back, "I knew that my brother would forget, so I prepared it in advance. "
"What are you ready for?" Shen Haolin looked at her curiously.
Shen Cha waved to Mei Lin, took a small box from her, and handed it to Shen Haolin.
"A gift for the Commander-in-Chief?" He opened the small box with Shen Cha's hand. When he saw what he saw, Shen Haolin chuckled, "He would like this, but His Majesty might not be willing to do so." Let’s give this to him, right?”
"There's nothing against it." Song Jue glanced over, "I don't mind if you send him as a gift, but I'd rather mind when he comes in handy. In my opinion, it might be better if it's a few years later."
"We are only responsible for delivering it. As for when to use it, that is for you to discuss." Shen Haolin asked Meilin to put the small box away and give it to Bai Meng at the banquet later. "However, our birthday boy has just passed away. Without the protagonist, can the banquet still go on?"
"It's just because Jin Yu was not ready, so we sent him away temporarily. We will call Yingying back later to give him a big surprise. After all, he is one year older and should be commemorated."
"Both my master and the two uncles Wang know about this?"
"I don't know." Song Jue shook his head, "But I just sent them a message. I hope they can help delay it for a while until the shadow arrives, and then let Xiaobaizi leave."
"The arrangements are quite thoughtful."
"Isn't this how it should be? We are all a family!" Song Jue patted Shen Haolin on the shoulder, "Besides, it's rare that Jin Yu has something she wants to do, and her mother is also very supportive. Let's do her a favor and satisfy her. Just wish.”
"Well!" Shen Haolin's hand hadn't let go of Shen Cha, "Is there anything we need to do?"
"Then ask her." Song Jue raised his chin towards Shen Cha, "It was all arranged by her, Jin Yu and Miao Miao. Hey, speaking of Miao Miao, where is the person?"
"I have been accompanying sister Jinyu. She should be in the dining room now. Qiyun just sent word that she was here to help, so she should be here by now."
"What's more, he disappeared all day, so where did he go?"
"I went to prepare a birthday gift for Sister Jinyu." Shen Cha said cheerfully, "Sister Jinyu wanted to prepare an unforgettable birthday gift for the commander-in-chief, so Qiyun volunteered to help her."
"What kind of birthday gift? It can't be a living one, right?"
"Nine times out of ten, yes." Shen Haolin guessed it when he saw Shen Cha's guilty expression, "Her Highness the Princess is not thinking about Uncle Jing Wang's falcon, is she? Remember the previous palace banquet, Uncle Jing Wang It was said that his falcon hatched a baby falcon, so Qi Yun and Commander-in-Chief were quite interested and went over to inquire about it."
"No way?" Song Jue looked at Shen Cha, not shocked, but excited, "You really went to Uncle Jing Wang to ask for the little falcon? The first two times I went to him, he refused to give it to me, Xiaoyun ...Can you come?"
"Probably, otherwise it would be Sister Jinyu's turn to take action herself."
"But if there really was a birthday gift from Xiao Falcon, what would Jin Yu do in the dining room?"
"I want to learn how to make longevity noodles from Miaomiao."
"Isn't it enough to just cook a bowl of noodles for longevity noodles?" Song Jue looked at the sky and called everyone to go to Laifeng Pavilion where the family banquet was about to be held. "You don't have to study so hard, right? Jin Yu can cook noodles." .”
"Sister Jinyu wants to make a special bowl of longevity noodles, which is different from ordinary ones." Shen Cha shrugged and yawned, "Miao Miao said that the kind she wants to make is indeed more difficult. They started preparing two days ago.”
"How is it? Can it be successful?" Song Jue looked at Shen Cha curiously, "How does it taste?"
"I don't know either. The two of them have done it several times, but they have never given me a taste."
"Rejecting you?"
"It's not rejection, it's prohibition. They forbid me from entering the dining room. They always give me the illusion that if I enter the dining room, even if I don't do anything, I will blow it up." Shen Cha was helpless. She shrugged, "Besides, I'm not busy with Tianxing Sect, Song Yuesui, and Song Junran these days, so I don't have time to care about them."
Laifeng Pavilion was not very far from the imperial study, and a few people slowly drank a cup of tea. Although the sky was getting darker, the lights on Laifeng Pavilion were already brightly lit. It seemed that Song Jinyu had been prepared early.
When the little waiters who were busy in Laifeng Pavilion saw the group of people arriving, they stopped what they were doing and saluted Song Jue and the others.
"Business about your business, don't worry about us." Song Jue waved his hands, looked at the people coming in and out of Laifeng Pavilion, and pulled Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Song Qiyun, who was rushing over, to the small pavilion next to them. While saying, "Xiaocha, your plan still needs to be changed. It means that, but... it is not very reliable when it is actually implemented."
"It's too labor-intensive, and it's easy to scare the other party." Shen Haolin added, "It can be seen from the existing clues that the scope of their activities this time is not very large, but there are seven or eight markets. If we put The shops related to the seven or eight markets have been replaced by our own people, but they are too eye-catching and are not conducive to our secret surveillance. If there are associates of the Phantom Thieves in these streets, and strangers appear in the shops they frequent, what do you think? What would they think and what would they do?”
"Probably he will run away quietly, right?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "But if we don't arrange people in those shops, even if we attract the real Phantom Thief, how do we know which shop he will patronize? What if What he patronized was not the trap we prepared for him, so wouldn’t our plan fail?”
Song Jue and Shen Haolin looked at each other and felt that Shen Cha was right to worry. How the other party would react to a fake robbery was not under their control. If the other party didn't follow their plan, this would lead the snake out of its hole. The drama can no longer continue, and it is impossible to use people from the Tianxing Sect to make Song Yuesui and Song Junran appear.
"This..." Shen Haolin thought for a moment, "It's not that there is no way to solve it."
"Yes!" Song Jue nodded, "Let the shadows keep an eye on the target store. If anything unusual happens, immediately notify the surrounding brothers to come to the rescue. No matter how the Phantom Thief leaves, he can't escape such a powerful encirclement, right?"
"This is the only way." Shen Cha thought about it and realized that there was really no good way to do it. He could only adapt to the situation.
"Coming, coming!" Ying Shishi, who was guarding the entrance to the palace, ran over from a distance and said as he ran, "The commander-in-chief is almost at the entrance of the palace!"
