Shen Haolin and Shen Cha kept chatting on the topic of how to trick Bai Meng perfectly until one night before they fell asleep deeply. It felt like they had just fallen asleep for a while, when they heard someone outside. Knock on their windows.

"Brother, what time is it now?" Seeing Shen Haolin jump off the bed, quickly find his robe and put it on his body, Shen Cha yawned and asked, "Are you getting up?"

"It's not even three o'clock yet. You just lie down and don't move. I'll go out and take a look." Shen Haolin put on his robe and came over to tuck Shen Cha into bed. "I want to see who is so big." How dare you come here to mess with our dreams."

"Forget it, if there is nothing serious, I won't come here at this time. Who doesn't want to have a good sleep! Listening to the sound of knocking on the window, it should be thirteen." Shen Cha wrapped himself in a quilt and made a rice dumpling. " Then again, if I can’t sleep until I wake up naturally during the holidays, I really can’t live this life!”

Shen Haolin lowered his head and kissed Shen Cha's forehead, "Sleep a little longer. If something big happens, leave it to me to deal with."

After saying that, Shen Haolin walked out of the inner room and walked directly to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Ying Shisan standing there with a solemn expression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Guo, for disturbing your peace!" Ying Thirteen saluted, "Something big has happened!"

"Come in first!" Shen Haolin turned aside and let Ying Shisan in. He closed the door and watched him take off his cloak and hang it on the clothes rack at the door. He also patted the snowflakes from his hair. , "Let's warm up by the fire first."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo!" Taking the hand stove handed over by Shen Haolin, Ying Shisan sighed deeply.

"Look at your face, you are livid, what happened?" Shen Haolin looked at him seriously, "The Liao army made a sneak attack?"

"The Liao Kingdom doesn't have the energy right now. Lord, Xiao Min sent back an urgent secret message." Ying Thirteen took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Shen Haolin, "The exact message sent by the Liao Palace, King Xiao Liao died of illness three days ago."

"Three days ago?" Shen Haolin paused while unpacking the bamboo tube and frowned slightly, "In other words, when the Liao delegation was on the way, the Little Liao King had passed away, but they did not announce it to the outside world. Yes or no?"

"Yes!" Ying Thirteen nodded, "The brothers in the palace saw that King Xiao Liao's body was placed in a special ice coffin. After several confirmations, they tried every means to find an opportunity to send the news out. Not only our people are sending news, people arranged by Jin and Tubo are also trying to find ways to pass the news to the outside world. It is estimated that... all the details have now spread the news back to other countries. And the people of the Liao Kingdom, so far, have not Not knowing that their king had died of illness, all the princes and nobles of Liao, headed by the Yelu family, unanimously decided to hide the news."

"By chance? Probably not." Shen Cha put on his clothes and pulled on his cotton boots and walked out of the room, "Is anyone coming out of the palace?"

"Boss!" Ying Thirteen saluted Chen Cha, "No one came out of the palace, so the people in Linhuang Mansion would think that King Xiao Liao is still alive..." Ying Thirteen suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Boss, you It means... they did not choose to shut up voluntarily, but had to shut up."

"That's what I mean. Those who are against the Yelu family... to be more precise, those who are against Yelv Ertu. If it is according to their wishes, they may have been eager to tell the world about the death of King Xiao Liao. In this case, they You can do whatever you want. But..." Shen Cha stood next to Shen Haolin and looked at the contents of the note in his hand, "If we don't announce the funeral secretly, the Little Liao King will still be the Liao King, and Yelvertu will still be the Liao King. The regent, and Yelu Lan... can only be Yelu Lan, with no changes at all. If the news of his death is not announced for a day, their plan will not be realized." Shen Cha sighed, "For these people with evil intentions, It is said that this period of time is the most difficult."

"But what is the reason why they don't mourn? Although the weather is cold now and there is an ice coffin to hold it, we can't just delay it. According to the practice in previous years, King Xiao Liao will leave the palace on the twentieth of the first lunar month. Inspection. If the inspection for that day is cancelled, Linhuang Mansion will probably have rumors flying all over the sky." Ying Thirteen looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "Have they not finished the internal negotiations yet?"

"He passed away three days ago. Logically speaking, each family should be busy working on the funeral affairs of King Xiao Liao. Now that they have stayed in the palace, in addition to the uneven distribution of interests, there may be another possibility. ."

"House arrest?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Shen Haolin sighed softly, "In a different place, if I were Yelvertu, I might make the same decision as him. Control all these unstable people. It is better to have them in your hands than to let them make trouble outside without control."

While talking, Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha to sit down, and at the same time called Ying Shisan to come and sit too.

Ying Thirteen responded, walked over and took a look at the unburnt charcoal next to him. He stretched out his hand to clean the small stove, put in new charcoal and started burning it.

"Master, boss, you guys talk first, I'll go to the small kitchen to bring you a pot of tea."

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's response, they ran out carrying the small teapot.

"Hey, put on the cloak!" Shen Cha watched Ying Thirteen disappear in a flash and shook his head gently, "Brother, it's time to make a decision, Yelv Ertu or Yelu Lan."

"What do you think?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Why don't we write a word on the palm of our hand and see if we think the same thing."

"No need, let's talk together." Shen Cha stretched out three fingers, "Three, two, one!"

"Lan!" The two people said in unison, looking at each other and smiling at the same time.

"You two..." Ying Thirteen came back with a small teapot and happened to see this scene. He stood at the door confused, "Am I disturbing you?"

"What are you disturbing me for?" Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow, "Close the door quickly, it's so cold!"

"Oh!" Ying Thirteen turned around and closed the door, put the small teapot on the small stove, and then sat down opposite Shen Haolin and Shen Cha.

"Once King Xiao Liao dies, the forces within the Liao Kingdom will be re-adjusted." Ying Thirteen sighed, "The parties that have been dormant for a long time are ready to move again, and Yelvertu's life will really be difficult in the future. ah!"
