After taking a short rest in Shili Changting and exchanging the information they had, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Jin Jing, and Song Qiyun galloped onto their horses and galloped towards the Jiaping Pass.
By the time they were about to reach the gate of Jiapingguan City, the sky had darkened, and they could see a group of people at the gate from a distance.
When they approached, they saw Xue Ruitian leading Shen Jiu and Ying Wu waiting at the door.
Xue Ruitian saw the cavalry in the distance getting closer and closer to him, and waved to them happily, finally feeling relieved.
When the galloping people saw Xue Ruitian and his party, they were relieved. They finally went home and saw their relatives.
When everyone arrived, Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who had dismounted, walked over and hugged them.
"I'm finally back. From the time you set out until now, my heart has not been at ease one day." He patted Shen Haolin, looked at Song Qiyun, looked left and right at Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, "Well, It seems like it's right to go out more, everyone looks good!" His eyes fell on Shen Cha, "You've worked hard these past few months, come back and have a good rest!"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, then looked at Shen Jiu who was standing behind him, "I'm relieved to see that you guys are fine too."
"Yes, the Marquis also looks very energetic." Jin Miaomiao wiped away the paw that was reaching towards her face, "It is said that people are in high spirits when happy events happen. What happy event did the Marquis encounter?"
"What a happy event..." Xue Ruitian chuckled and dragged Shen Haolin into the city, "Aren't you guys back? Come on, let's stop standing at the door and chat, go home!"
"We haven't seen each other for many days, but the Marquis' mouth is still so sweet." Seeing Shen Jiu and Ying Wu walking towards him and Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao poked Shen Cha with her elbow, "I'll take Xiao Jiu away." , you can talk among yourselves."
"It's okay, it's not like you don't know."
"You..." Xue Ruitian heard the two people talking, glanced at Shen Jiu who was about to come over, and swallowed what he wanted to say, "Haolin, let's go first, so we won't disturb them."
Shen Haolin turned his head and gave Shen Cha a look. When he saw the other person's comforting eyes, he followed Xue Ruitian and left.
"Xiaocha, my suggestion is that it's better for Xiaojiu not to know about this matter for the time being." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "You have to tell him slowly. After all, the child is still young and it is not easy to accept it. What do you think? ?”
"..." Shen Cha thought for a moment and sighed, "You're right. I've also thought about whether I should tell him about this right away and see if he can accept it. But..." She looked at Jin Jing, "I'm not sure if Brother Xiaotian and Brother Xiaojing told him about the Xuanyuan family. They just came back and there were too many things to do. I didn't have time to ask him!"
"About the Xuanyuan family, we didn't say anything. We didn't dare to mention a word. We didn't even mention the name Xuanyuan." Jin Jing heard the conversation between the two people and came over and whispered, "This child is very sensitive, and we are also worried. If that sentence is wrong, if it touches any point of the child and we cannot coax it well, then... right?"
"You're right!" Shen Cha breathed a sigh of relief, "He didn't ask you where the news came from?"
"We told him it was through the royal channel, and he stopped asking."
"This little guy is quite smart and knows what to ask and what not to ask."
"Xiaotian and I have also talked about this matter, and we both agree that you and Haolin should tell him personally. Although we think that even if we tell him, he won't have any reaction, but you said it yourself. , actually it’s different.”
"I understand." Shen Cha nodded, looked at Jin Miaomiao, and smiled lightly, "You can chat with him!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Jin Miaomiao walked over to meet Shen Jiu and Ying Wu, and intercepted Shen Jiu who was rushing towards her halfway, "Come, sister, I haven't seen you in a while, come, let's talk. "
"Sister Miaomiao, my sister..." Shen Jiu saw that Shen Cha's expression was not good. He looked at Jin Miaomiao and asked, "Is she okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry!" Jin Miaomiao waved her hand and grabbed his arm, "Just follow me."
"Okay." Shen Jiu waved to Shen Cha, indicating that he and Jin Miaomiao were leaving. Seeing his sister smiling, she felt a little relieved.
Jin Jing glanced in the direction of Jin Miaomiao and Shen Jiu, sighed, and said, "This kid doesn't know what he is going to face yet, so he suddenly feels a little pitiful."
"It's nothing to be pitiful about. Didn't you say it before? It's a good thing to finally have a relative." Seeing Ying Wu coming over, Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "You guessed it right?"
"Boss Yingming, the marks on their ankles are the same as the jade pendants."
"Really? It can totally overlap, right?"
"Yes, it's exactly the same. To be cautious, I checked it carefully several times. It's exactly the same."
"Hmm!" Shen Cha thought for a while, handed the reins to Ying Wu, and nodded towards the guard at the city gate, "Then, did you confirm his identity?"
"No, to be more safe, I conducted an inspection on him." Ying Wu briefly explained the process of his interrogation, "I asked a few questions, which is the daily habit of an old general, and the leader answered them all. Come up, basically everything is right, I can believe that he is the person close to the old general." He looked at Jin Jing, "Fortunately, no punishment was used, otherwise the flood would have washed away the Dragon King Temple!"
"It's true. Fortunately, I listened to Xiaotian." Jin Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, what's the name of the leader?"
"Long Fei." Ying Wu looked at the boss walking beside him, "Is he the person we are looking for?"
"Yes!" Shen Cha returned the greetings to the people who greeted him enthusiastically, "Hutchison's shopkeeper was trained by the old general himself."
"Is he so powerful?" Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha in surprise, "Old General... I must pay homage to you if you have the chance."
"There will be a chance." Shen Cha chuckled, "If we hadn't stopped him, I would have followed this time." She glanced at Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian who were making out in front of them and didn't know what they were talking about. He glanced at Ying Wu again, lowered his voice and asked, "What did you talk about?"
"We didn't talk about anything. After verifying my identity, I received the news that you were about to arrive. I went back to the house to find the Marquis and the young master, and then came to greet you. I didn't have time to talk to him about the things we wanted to investigate. .”
Shen Cha looked at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion not far ahead, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I probably won't have the energy tonight."
"yes!"
