After Bai Meng's birthday, everyone started to get busy again, and there was no time to relax.
The people in the Zhenguo Palace, ranging from Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Song Qiyun and Jin Miaomiao, to the soldiers of the Shen Family Army who were temporarily stationed at the Forbidden Army's station, all began to prepare for the journey back to Jiaping Pass City.
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's original plan was to leave the carriages and other things they brought with them in the capital and return to the border with Jian Cong lightly packed. However, they did not expect that the things they planned to bring back from the capital would be far away. Far more than what was brought here.
When they came, they brought seven or eight carriages with them, but when they returned, they had to take away at least seventeen or eight carriages. This change in quantity made Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Song Qiyun and Jin Miaomiao very worried. This added a lot of burden to them and increased their time on the road, which would make them return to the border at least half a month later than expected.
But they have no choice. As the saying goes, elders give gifts but dare not give them. Besides, they are not in Beijing all year round and cannot fulfill their filial piety in front of their elders. They already feel very guilty. It would be inappropriate if they refuse gifts from their elders. alright.
While packing their bags, they also formulated a plan to capture the Tianxing Sect and the Phantom Thieves. Shen Cha thought about it carefully and came up with a plan that was acceptable to both parties.
They reorganized all the information about the Phantom Thieves, found out the markets and shops that the Phantom Thieves often visited, and arranged a certain amount of manpower, in order to make them look familiar, so as not to see the Phantom Thief appear in the store when he came to visit. Strangers became wary and ruined their plans. At the same time, they picked a few more agile ones from the shadows to pretend to be monster thieves and steal the stores they focused on. Of course, these were all fake and they had to obtain the store owner's permission in advance.
The plan was spread to the Jiangnan state capitals, and all states paid great attention to it. Although it was a bit troublesome, they also wanted to completely solve the problem of this monster thief. Otherwise, it would be very annoying for them to come to them every once in a while. Therefore, the government offices in various states cooperated very actively, and everything was ready, just waiting for the day when the first frame-up plan would come.
During the waiting period, the investigation into the Tianxing Sect was also in progress. Song Jue, Shen Haolin, and Shen Cha all agreed that this liar gang had reappeared in front of people after being dormant for almost twenty years. It's definitely not an accident, but it still needs to be confirmed whether they were instigated by someone to make a comeback.
But the three people unanimously believed that the possibility of being instigated was higher.
Although he is busy every day, Shen Cha feels that he still needs to take some time to see Xuanyuan Liang and Tantai Pingchuan. After leaving Xijing this time, he doesn’t know when he will come back and when he can meet again. It is better to spend more time together. Better.
Shen Haolin originally wanted to persuade Shen Cha to cherish the opportunity to meet Xuanyuan Liang and Tantai Pingchuan. Although these two people have adventures and live longer than ordinary people, things in the world are impermanent, so you still have to cherish the people in front of you, so as not to Leave yourself with regrets in the future.
However, when he saw Shen Cha taking the initiative to drag him to Xuanyuan Xiaoyuan, he suddenly felt relieved that our family had a daughter. He had always been worried that Cha'er would become the kind of character who would always retaliate against anyone, but now His heart was relieved.
The days passed in a busy manner, and soon came the last night before the frame-up plan was implemented. Shen Haolin and Shen Cha came out of Prince Dai's Mansion and went directly to Xuanyuan Courtyard. They had already made an appointment with this old man. The two of you have dinner together.
They stayed in Xuanyuan Courtyard until curfew, and then said goodbye to Xuanyuan Liang and Tantai Pingchuan. The two held hands and walked slowly and leisurely on the slightly deserted street.
Mei Lin and Mei Zhu followed them not far or near, so as not to disturb their rare alone time.
"After you go back, rest for a few days before doing anything else." Shen Haolin turned his head and looked at Shen Cha, "Miaomiao was still complaining to me yesterday, saying that the meat that I finally gained for you has fallen off in the past few days. No more, and I’m even thinner than before I came to Xijing.”
"She also told me that what we eat and drink now is all in vain. Apart from the three normal meals a day, there is nothing else to do. We will take good care of ourselves after we go back. That way the effect will be more obvious and better." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin and smiled faintly, "Before coming, we didn't expect that so many things would happen when we came to Beijing this time, and many things were unresolved. They are like fragments that seem to have nothing to do with each other and exist independently, but I always feel that in the end these fragments will be pieced together into a complete story and will give us a satisfying ending."
"It's a rare leisure time." Shen Haolin reached out and touched his head, "Don't think about these messy things. We will have something to worry about in the future."
"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, remembering what Tantai Pingchuan quietly said to him just now, "The old general wants to move to the border and live with us. But he doesn't live in the Duke's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion. He wants to find a secluded place. House.”
"Did Senior Tantai tell you? Did you just go out and talk?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Shen Haolin thought for a moment, "What do you think?"
"Well..." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "I didn't agree because I think it's not the right time yet. At least we have to wait until we finish fighting the Jin Kingdom and the border is completely stabilized. Otherwise, if something happens to them, What happened..." She shook her head gently, "I can't imagine it."
"You're right. At least you can't move there now. You have to wait until everything is stable and at least the border is safe." Shen Haolin looked at her and chuckled, "Also give yourself some time to prepare. "
Shen Cha sighed softly and held Shen Haolin's hand tightly. She never thought that she would accept people from the Xuanyuan family. She thought she would hold grudge against them.
"You are a kind and considerate child, you have always been." Shen Haolin stopped, pulled Shen Cha, and touched her head again, "I am proud of you."
