Shen Cha didn't know Ying Thirteen was back until he woke up and had breakfast the next day and saw Ying Thirteen in the flower hall.
Ying Thirteen recounted what he had said to Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing the night before to Shen Cha and Xia Jiu, and finally asked them if they had anything to say to His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Hui. Let's talk about everything. He will set off back to Xijing City this afternoon at the latest.
Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Jing all told Shen Cha what they wanted Ying Shisan to take back. Shen Cha nodded while listening, and occasionally added a few words. Basically, what she thought of, the three brothers had already Come to think of it, they also had some additions that she hadn't thought of for a moment. After thinking about it, she didn't have anything to say.
"Wanyanxi chose this time to come here. The timing is perfect. It's about the same time as I estimated."
"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Come here at this time, there is still time to adjust and rest, and wait for the message from the Liao Kingdom."
"Yes, Brother Yelu." Shen Cha put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Ying Shisan, "Have you told your fifth brother? Let him contact Brother Yelu?"
"As I said, I sent the letter this morning." Ying Thirteen nodded, "I also said hello to Brother Jing Wang, don't worry, boss, everything is in order."
"Well done." Shen Cha thought for a while and continued, "The news about Wanyan Ping and Wanyan Qingmu that A'Piao and A'rou recently sent back, basically it can be seen that Wanyan's sister and Wanyan Qingmu are They have become more and more tolerant of each other's presence, and as a result, their tempers are not particularly good, and they are quite irritable. Wanyanping is okay here, she has always been comforted by our people and the people of Brother Jing Wang, but there is no He did something extraordinary, but Wanyan Qingmu's side was different. The people there had been encouraging Wanyan Qingmu to attack the city, but Wanyan Qingmu himself was hesitant and could not do it. Decide."
"You're feeling tortured inside again, aren't you?"
"Yes, Wanyan Qingmu's character is like this. Once he hesitates, he becomes irritable and takes it out on the people around him. I heard that he has beaten several boys to death. If he continues like this, he will not be exhausted. If Yan Xiaomei takes action, she will be in chaos internally."
Shen Cha finished the porridge, put down the bowl in his hand, sighed softly, reached out to take the tea egg that Shen Haolin handed him, took a bite, looked at the egg yolk inside, and curled his lips in disgust.
Shen Haolin glanced at the rejected egg yolk, then took Shen Cha's hand and dug out the egg yolk with a spoon. He reached out and touched her head, smiled and said, "Okay, you can eat it."
Seeing this scene, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"Hey, Hao Lin, you know, if you want to say who is the culprit of Xiaocha's severe picky eating, it is you."
"Yes!" Jin Jing also nodded, "It's all because of you that Xiaocha has such a mouth."
After Shen Haolin finished eating the egg yolk he dug out, he looked at the two people calmly and said calmly, "I want you to take care of it."
"Okay, okay, we don't care, as long as you are happy." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, looked at Shen Cha, and said, "When do you think Wanyan Qingmu will make up his mind and launch the final fierce attack."
"If I go by what I know about him, this battle will probably start within half a month at the latest."
"It will take half a month?"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "It can only be done in advance, and it is unlikely to be wrong later. Even if Wanyan Qingmu wants to, people in his camp don't think much about it. After all, judging from Wanyan Qingmu's increasingly irritable mood, If we wait any longer, they will all be beaten to death by Wanyan Qingmu."
"Half a month is not enough." Shen Haolin thought about it, looked at Ying Thirteen, and said, "At that time, if there are no delays on the way, Wan Yanxi should be at the border by the time the battle is over. ,Yes or no?"
"No, he can reach the border before the fight even starts."
"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded and looked at Shen Cha, "You want him to be here when this battle is over, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, he sighed softly, "Just right. You can use this
It's not bad if the battle can delay him for a while. "
"That's what I really think. Wanyan is so happy that he can't start a war right away. He has to take a break and let him see how strong these two people are."
"Actually, you want to see it, right?"
"Of course, this is their fight to the death. The battle between Pinpoint and Maimang is a matter of life and death, so they won't be able to preserve too much strength. After all, if they continue to preserve their strength at this juncture, it will be tantamount to committing suicide. They are dead." Shen Cha thought for a moment, "They can use all the trump cards in their hands, which is a great thing for us, right?"
"That's right." Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "Let's see what good things they have hidden. We have something in mind."
"What do you think..." Jin Miaomiao finished eating the wonton stew, took a boiled egg and started peeling it, and said, "Will little sister Wanyan eventually switch sides?"
"Defection is inevitable. Her original goal was not to get the throne. All she wanted was the lives of Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Qingmu. They were the source of the tragedy for her, her sister, her mother, and even her mother's family. , isn’t it? She only wants revenge and won’t consider anything else. The throne is not what she wants.”
"So, in order to deal with Wanyan Qingmu, she will definitely stand with us." Xue Ruitian sighed, waved his hands gently, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about the current situation." He Patting Xia Jiu, who had been immersed in eating, "You didn't react at all."
Others may not care about Prince Hui returning from the sea, but their little Prince should be the most concerned about it. Although Prince Hui was not very old when he left home to go to sea, The relationship between the two brothers was very good. Prince Hui led people on board the ship without looking back, while Prince Hui was crying out of breath on the dock.
"What reaction do I want?" Xia Jiu put down the bowl in his hand and sighed softly, "What about Lao Qi coming back? Well, just come back!"
"It sounds like you're not surprised or excited at all?" Xue Ruitian placed the basket of buns in front of Xia Jiu and filled his empty bowl with a bowl of porridge. When we left, you cried so hard that if we hadn't pulled you, you would have left with him. Why are you so calm now that he is back?"
"When I left, I thought I might never see him again in this life. After all, the sea is ruthless, who knows what he will encounter, right? I thought it was the last time, and I would definitely cry. It was very exciting, but I was out of breath. I don’t have any impression of this, so don’t talk nonsense!”
"Xiao Jiujiu, you really cried miserably." Shen Cha covered his mouth and snickered, "Brother Xiaotian is right. If we hadn't pulled you with our hands and eyes quickly, you would have run away with us for a long time, and you still said impossible!"
"It's been so long, I've forgotten it. As long as I don't remember it, this thing will never exist." After a long while, he said, "But now that he is back, I can rest assured that he is fine. Isn't that better than anything else?"
"You two have such a good relationship, how long have you been so calm?"
"What if? Now that I have grown up, my dependence on Lao Qi is no longer so strong. Besides, can't children hold grudges? I can't be angry anymore when he left us and walked away like that? "
"Oh, it turns out you're angry!" Xue Ruitian smiled evilly, "Then how are you going to deal with your seventh brother?"
"See how I feel!" Xia Jiu stuffed another bun, "See if he has brought me something good, if he wants to please me, if he is still as attentive to me as he was when he was a child. If he behaves well, maybe I You might forgive him." He looked at Ying Thirteen, "Is he sure he's fine?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Ying Thirteen smiled at Xia Jiu, "You will know when he comes to see you."
Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly. They didn't bother to expose Xia Jiu's obvious duplicity. After so many years, Xia Qi didn't send a letter back. They were all worried, not to mention that he had been playing a lot with Xia Qi.
Okay Xia Jiu, I am afraid that when I think of Xia Qi these years, I wonder if he is still alive and whether he can go home as promised.
"However, I am petty and hate him. Unless he stands in front of me and begs me to forgive him, I might have a better attitude and care about him more, but..." Xia Jiu looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha , "I'm still surprised that Sister Xiaocha is so calm."
After hearing Xia Jiu's words, Shen Cha glanced at him, saw him winking at her, smiled helplessly, lowered his head and continued to pick out the green onions in the porridge.
"Sister Xiaocha?" Xia Jiu took a sip of porridge and bared his teeth at Shen Cha, "Aren't you excited at all?"
"You're not even excited, why should I be? Logically speaking, the two of us don't interact that much, right? Our relationship isn't as deep as the two of you, right?" Shen Cha took out the shredded green onions in the porridge. After picking them all out, he slowly started to drink the porridge. While drinking, he smiled evilly and said, "To be honest, when I heard the news that he came back, I was just a little emotional. After all, he returned from the sea and survived. , the whole must be finished, we can let go of what we have been carrying for so many years. Apart from that, there is nothing else."
"It's been a long time, nothing?"
"Then what else?" Shen Cha glanced at Xia Jiu with a smirk on his face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What else do you want? Hold a welcome banquet for him? He has to come to the border to do that, right? ?"
"I'm afraid he can't leave now." Shen Haolin chuckled, "Xiao Jue won't let him out."
"After so many years at sea, although my body seems to be in better shape, I still need to take good care of myself." Jin Miaomiao nodded in agreement, "It is estimated that they will need to take a good rest for a year and a half. After all, they were injured at sea, so It’s impossible to raise them well, so they need to be adjusted slowly.”
"That's right."
"Hey, I let Sister Xiaocha express her feelings, and I didn't let you talk about whether he was injured or not. He had to go there by himself, regardless of everyone's objections. Whether he was injured or not is his responsibility." Xia Jiu snorted, "Just because of such a trivial matter, I had to run away from home to the point of death. I don't know what I was thinking at the time."
"Speaking of which, I'm also very curious, why did such rumors spread in the first place?" Shen Cha looked at Xia Jiu, then Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian in confusion, and said, "The Xia family's family tradition has always been very upright. , Anyone with brains and eyes knows that such a thing is absolutely impossible to happen, not to mention that Uncle Xia has already moved away from the old house, and there is no intersection between them at all, so why..."
"Hey, it's because of Xia Er's errand." Xue Ruitian snorted and raised his chin towards Shen Haolin, "Haolin knows better about this matter."
"What's going on?" Shen Cha took a bun to Shen Haolin and looked at him curiously.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. As you know, the Xia family, as relatives, has always been very low-key and not public at all. Therefore, when a good job that allows them to go to sea falls on them, others start to He was jealous and didn’t know where the rumor came from. Overnight, the whole Xijing City knew about it. Later, he checked it out and found out that it was done behind the scenes by several people who were eyeing the errand going out to sea. Xiao Jue was very worried. Angry, I found excuses for those families and forced them to leave Xijing City and never come back."
"At that time, just a few days after Xiao Jue ascended the throne, those families did this thing to slap him in the face openly, that is, because during the three-year filial piety period, there was no way to start the killing, otherwise, they might It's not just that they were kicked out." Xue Ruitian sneered, "Anyway, the Xia family has kept a lower profile since then. In addition, Xiao Jiujiu is unwilling to go back easily. It is estimated that everyone in Xijing City has forgotten that the Xia family still has such a There’s a prince with a legitimate reputation!”
"It's best to forget, so as not to be arranged. Forget it, if you don't talk about this, you will get angry when you talk about it, and you will want to hit someone when you get angry. Let's talk about topics that can make us happy, such as..."
Xia Jiu smiled evilly at Shen Cha, "Lao Qi has always been eyeing you, sister. Don't you have any ideas?"
"What are you looking at?" Shen Cha glanced at Shen Haolin and saw the other person winking at him,
She smiled, picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of steamed pork ribs into Shen Haolin's plate. She turned her eyes to Xia Jiu and stared at him for a while before taking another sip of porridge. "I'm not a steamed bun, nor a steamed bun." Paigu, why are you staring at me with such eagerness?"
Jin Miaomiao slowly finished a bowl of noodles. Feeling a little full, she put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Cha and Shen Haolin, then at Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing who wanted to watch the show, and finally at Xia Xia. For a long time, he shook his head gently.
