346 Mysterious Guest
On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, Qi Zhifeng arrived at Jiaping Pass with ten of his followers.
Half of the 500 soldiers Yeluling brought before were escorted back to Linhuang Mansion by the king's order, while the rest were left in the border town until Qi Zhifeng and others returned to Beijing, and then they were brought back along the way.
According to Qi Zhifeng, they are not here to fight or show off their power. There is no need to bring so many people. Ten people are enough.
On the Shen Jiajun side, those responsible for receiving Qi Zhifeng were Shen Cha and Jin Jing.
Logically speaking, for Qi Zhifeng's rank, even though he is the special envoy of the King of Liao, it is enough for Jin Jing, the master of Shen Jiajun, to come forward. There is no need for Shen Cha at all, let alone Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian. If Jiaping Guancheng's few The Great Buddha has come forward, and Qi Zhifeng himself will feel that he cannot afford it. The reason why Shen Cha appeared in the post house was because he wanted to convey something to Yerunan through Qi Zhifeng. She has never been sure about this matter. I have an idea, and I want Yerunan to help me with the details.
The one among the Shen family who wanted to meet Qi Zhifeng the most was probably Shen Jiu. The two were similar in age and had similar interests. If Qi Zhifeng was also from Xia, he would have become best friends long ago.
Qi Zhifeng followed the soldiers of the Shen family to the post house and asked his entourage to follow the post soldiers to settle down. Qi Zhifeng brought a mysterious man wrapped in a black cloak into the main hall.
"The young general has met General Shen and the military advisor." Qi Zhifeng saluted and looked at Shen Cha and Jin Jing standing in the hall with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for many days, how are you two doing? Look at Shen Cha. The general's complexion is much better than when we last met. Although it is still the beginning of spring, the spring is cold and cold, so we should pay more attention. If you get sick at this time, it is serious, so General Shen still needs to be more careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master." Shen Cha smiled, asked Qi Zhifeng and the man in black to take a seat, and motioned for Mei Lin to serve tea, "Did the trip go smoothly?"
"It's okay!" Qi Zhifeng thanked Mei Lin and looked at the ginger soup on the table with a painful expression, "Well... General Shen, can you not drink this?"
"Young Master was trying to persuade me just now. It's so cold now that you shouldn't get sick. You've been working hard all the way, so you must drink ginger soup to dispel the cold. If you fall ill, I can't explain it to Mr. Nan. "Seeing Qi Zhifeng's expression, Shen Cha couldn't help but laugh. This boy is really the same as Shen Jiu. When it comes to drinking ginger soup, he starts to cheat.
"General Shen is joking. If Feng gets cold, it's because Feng is not careful. What does it have to do with General Shen?" The man in black who had been wearing a hood took off his hat after hearing Shen Cha's words, revealing himself. His true face. He turned to look at Qi Zhifeng, "Are you going to drink it yourself, or do you want me to do it?"
"Anan...you...forget it, I'll drink it myself." Qi Zhifeng picked up the soup bowl, held his nose and poured the ginger soup into his mouth with a righteous look. "Cough cough cough cough cough, okay. hot!"
"Spice can dispel the cold." The mysterious man turned his head and smiled at Shen Cha and Jin Jing, "I'm sorry to make you two laugh. However, if he really gets cold, not only will I not feel sorry for him, but I will also Teach him a lesson and see if he will show off in the future."
Seeing this person's face, Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other. To be honest, this person's appearance here was completely beyond their expectations.
"Oh, why should Mr. Nan be honest in front of us? If Mr. Qi is really sick, the most worried person is probably you." Shen Cha stood up and met Yerunan, "I only heard about Mr. Qi before. I replaced Young Master Yeluling and became the special envoy of the King of Liao, but I didn’t expect Young Master Nan to come with me. I was negligent just now, so please don’t take it to heart.”
"General Shen is joking. We are not only like-minded partners, but also friends. Why should we be so polite?" Yerunan sighed, "You two don't have to worry. This time, I didn't come secretly, I came here to serve as my king." Wang Ming, infiltrate into Afeng's bodyguards and protect his safety secretly." Seeing the doubts in Shen Cha and Jin Jing's eyes, he continued to explain, "Before departure, we had received news that someone would be here. It was not good for Ah Feng along the way."
"So...we met an assassin on the way?" Jin Jing looked at Yerunan and then at Qi Zhifeng, "Are you okay?"
"It's a near miss." Yeluling picked up the teacup and took a sip. "This assassination is different from what I encountered in the city. The assassins were divided into multiple batches. If one batch missed, the next batch would make up for it immediately. Even between us and Yelu After Ling handed over, the assassins broke into the official post in the middle of the night. Fortunately, we took all precautions to prevent them from succeeding. The journey was extremely thrilling. It is really a blessing from heaven to meet you two smoothly. If we are lucky A little bit worse..." He shook his head gently, "I'm afraid we will be separated forever."
"Both of you are very blessed people. Even if you encounter some setbacks, you will be able to turn the corner. Don't worry about it." Shen Cha comforted, "As for those assassins, have their origins been found out? Who are the masterminds behind them? Man, does Mr. Nan have any doubtful candidates?"
"General Shen is smart, why not take a guess?"
"Major General Yeluling was ordered to go to Jiapingguan City and was replaced during the march... Could it be that he was resentful or had other thoughts and was eager to hide something, so he used such a stupid method?" Seeing Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng nodded at the same time, Shen Cha frowned slightly, "But, when did this young general... have such great abilities?"
"Isn't it? We are also wondering when he has such great ability. After saying goodbye to the general in Wuma Town and returning to Linhuang Mansion, he has been idle at home. He is a truly idle clan. We don't know. To think that he actually secretly prepared such a big surprise for us." Yerunan sneered, "It's really a matter of silence, it's a blockbuster!"
"If you think about it, this person is also very insidious. On weekdays, he pretends to be stupid in front of us and keeps himself low, but behind his back he has a different face. He actually dares to attack us." Qi Zhifeng snorted. Twice, "My uncle is upright and kind, so why did he raise such a... shameless and unworthy white-eyed wolf?"
"Why is Mr. Qi so angry?" Shen Cha asked Mei Lin to find some pastries for Qi Zhifeng. "Could it be that Yeluling has offended Mr. Qi in other ways?"
"Why did he offend me? I'm so angry because he did something that no one should do." Qi Zhifeng spoke quickly and told the story of Linhuang General's Mansion without even taking a breath, " If Uncle Wang hadn't discovered it in time, my uncle would have died soon. If it hadn't been for Wang's fate, I would have torn him into pieces the first time I saw him!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Hasn't he already been punished? He won't end well when he returns to the capital." Yerunan patted Qi Zhifeng on the arm, "Besides, people like him , it’s not worth your trouble for him.”
"Mr. Qi, what Mr. Nan said is right. This kind of person is not worthy of you dirtying your hands for him." Shen Cha sighed, "We are leaving Wuma Town. Occasionally, I receive letters from the old general. I know If they live well, I will feel at ease. But during the Chinese New Year period, various things are mixed together, and the old general has no recent news. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen." She shook her head, "How is the old general now? "
"The main thing is how you feel?" Jin Jing also asked, "It must be uncomfortable to be treated like this by your biological son. You need to understand it properly!"
"Now that Uncle Wang has been brought into the palace, he will be well taken care of. General Shen doesn't have to worry." Yerunan took a sip of tea and continued, "In addition to protecting A Feng's safety, I came here this time. Nan has other important matters to discuss with General Shen."
"Sir, please tell me."
