Shen Cha was very pleased.

Although he was tired from traveling all the way and had to be wary of the eager killers around him, the skills of the people around him did not deteriorate due to these external influences. On the contrary, they improved a bit compared to when they were in Jiaping Pass.

From this point of view, taking a short trip occasionally is very helpful in improving one's own abilities.

There were no surprises in the outcome of the duel, as Shen Cha and Jin Jing had expected it.

The brothers An Ming and Li Jun were barely tied. To be honest, the two of them had similar levels of kung fu. It was just that Li Jun was too irritable and could easily be plotted by An Ming, so he fell behind. .However, during the time the brothers were in the Shadow Camp, Li Jun's temper was tempered a lot, and the two brothers fought for a little longer than every time.

After nearly one hundred and fifty moves, it ended with Li Jun being kicked in the foot by An Ming, and An Ming being slapped by Li Jun.

Shen Cha believed that this ear-scratching was intentional by Li Jun, and he was quite suspected of avenging a private vendetta.

As for the pairing of Mei Zhu and Dai Yi, there is no suspense.

Dai Yi has indeed made great progress compared to when he was in the recruit camp, or when he first went to the Shadow Camp. What Ying Wu said is right, he is completely transformed, as if he is a new person, every move is in place, and he can adapt to changes. The skill can be considered mastered. But even so, it is still very difficult to fight against Mei Zhu, who has experienced hundreds of battles.

Although Mei Zhu usually jumps around like a heartless little fool, everyone who has dealt with her knows that everything is an illusion and a complete lie. Once she gets serious, she will be extremely ruthless. It won't leave any chance of survival for the opponent.

During the entire fight, Mei Zhu was unilaterally suppressing Dai Yi. An Ming and Li Jun occupied a small corner of the practice room. Fortunately, they ran around the entire practice room several times and were exhausted. Dai Yi's face was sweating profusely and he was wheezing.

"Stop! Stop! Mei...Sister Mei Zhu, I...I...give up." Dai Yi was chased and beaten by Mei Zhu. He was beaten until he was out of breath. He found an opportunity and sat down. On the ground, he raised his hands and took two deep breaths, "No...I can't do it anymore. I really...cough cough cough...I really can't do it anymore. Huh...huh...I'm exhausted! Mei Zhu... Sister Mei Zhu, you...you are...going to beat me to death...beat me!"

"How long has it been, and you can't stop shouting? It seems that Fifth Brother still has reservations and has not really attacked you!" Mei Zhu looked at him condescendingly, and rubbed his hair twice, "Wait a minute. Come on, when I get back, I will tell Fifth Brother to train you well!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Dai Yi didn't care whether Shen Cha and Jin Jing were in front of him or not, and lay directly on his back on the ground, "Everything you said is right!"

Jin Jing looked at them and said with a smile, "Okay, let's have a cup of tea and then switch opponents. Xiao Zhuzi, you go fight with Captain An, Dai Yi, you and Captain Li. This time, it's not a fist and kick fight, you guys Here comes the weapons."

"Military advisor..." Mei Zhu looked at Jin Jing and then Shen Cha expectantly, "General, if you want to compare weapons, can you use concealed weapons? The last time the general gave me the sleeve arrow, I never mastered it well. , I still want to practice more.”

"Hidden weapon?" Shen Cha shook his head, "This room is a bit small. If you use a hidden weapon, it may be accidentally injured."

"That's right." Jin Jing echoed, "Although what I say is a bit unfounded, you must remember what I said."

"Yes, military advisor!"

"After last night, we have become the target of public criticism. On the surface, everything seems peaceful, but secretly, there are still dangers. Our enemies, in addition to the Jin people on the surface, the envoys of those countries probably also classify us as They are hostile." Jin Jing picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips. "Yelunan personally picked us up into the city, took us to the inn, and then left after settling in. Then he sent his personal escort to escort the assassins around Linhuang. The government is parading around the streets, think about it, among those envoys who came in advance, which one has the same treatment as us?"

"They...are they too cautious?"

"We are all visiting envoys, so it is natural for them to be jealous. In addition, they stayed with us last night. Although it was snowing and the road was not easy to walk, in the eyes of those people, they were That's not the case." Jin Jing sneered, "Just watch, what kind of troubles will these people have at the palace banquet tonight?"

"They will think that we have a close relationship with the Liao." Shen Cha nodded, "Although this is true, it is certain that they feel uncomfortable. Since they are visiting the Liao country, it is not easy to embarrass the host family, so we are their target. "

"This is what people often say, there is no good wine without good wine, and there is no good feast without good banquet."

"So, here's the order, during this period in Linhuang Mansion, everyone must pay attention to their food, clothing, housing, transportation, speech, words and deeds, and don't be caught by others. For example, today, Xiao Zhuzi asked whether he can use concealed weapons , if we don’t have to go out to meet people or socialize, it doesn’t matter. But we have to go out soon and go to the Liao Palace for a banquet in the evening. It would be bad if we have more scars on our faces. We think it’s okay. , but in the eyes of those people, it has become their talking point. People have two mouths, and when they touch up and down, they can tell many invisible things."

"That sounds quite reasonable!" Mei Zhu nodded and walked to the weapons shelf. Instead of picking a weapon in a hurry, she crossed her arms and looked at Jin Jing, "Military advisor, you have said so much in such a verbose manner. Don’t we want people to laugh at us?”

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Mei Zhu made a face at Jin Jing, turned around and grabbed a long knife from the weapons rack, weighing it in her hand, thinking it was a good one. Not to mention she was delicate and weak, she usually competed with the Shen family's army. , is also accustomed to using soft whips. In fact, what she is best at is the long knife. But the lethality is too strong, so unless she is following Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and others to charge, she will generally not use it.

"That's strange. Why did you think of using a knife today?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you afraid that the knife will get rusty if you haven't practiced for a long time?"

"If I don't practice my sword well, I will really be sorry for the Duke's careful teachings." Mei Zhu held the long sword across her chest and raised her eyebrows at An Ming, "Captain An, are you ready? Please!"

Several people spent nearly an hour in the practice room. Everyone was sweating profusely from practicing. Although they were very tired, they were in good spirits.

Shen Cha asked them to bathe and change clothes separately, and half an hour later, they gathered in the lobby downstairs.

"General!" Merlin walked into Shen Cha's room and said to Shen Cha who was bathing through the screen, "I just walked around and found someone staring around the inn. I looked around and it seems that it's not Mr. Nan. "

"Duan Yu probably hasn't given up the idea of ​​meeting each other yet." Shen Cha was not surprised at all. People in the Duan family are stubborn, and they must do whatever they want to do. This kind of paranoia deeply rooted in their bones, even if they are born There is no way to avoid the maverick Lianhou Mansion. "Don't worry about him. If he wants to keep an eye on him, just let them keep an eye on him!"

"Yes!" Merlin thought for a while, "In addition to Duan Yu's people, there should be others from Tubo, Uighur, Dashi, etc. Most of the missions have sent people to keep an eye on it, which is quite lively."

"Brother Xiaojing said that there are dangers all around, and he really didn't just say it out of thin air. However, it's quite surprising that Jin Guo didn't send anyone."

"They are fighting among themselves now, so how can they have the energy to take care of us?"

"That's true. When they finish fighting, they will realize how stupid they are." Shen Cha chuckled lightly, stood up and picked up the handkerchief, "By the way, during the time when we were out with Mr. Qi, You just stay at the inn and put away the things we brought. Those things that need to be sent out are sorted into categories. Also, the clothes for the palace banquet in the evening must be prepared. The Liao Kingdom is still in its national mourning period. It’s not advisable to prepare items that are too bright in color, it’s more appropriate to be more simple and elegant.”

"General, among the clothes you brought, are there any bright colors? They are either black or white. There is no third color at all."

"Of course you know what I brought, mainly Brother Xiaojing. Normally I like to show off my clothes, but at this time, I'd better keep a low profile and don't let others take advantage of me and say we don't understand etiquette."

"What the general said is that I will go to the military advisor to have a look later." Merlin raised an eyebrow, "But are you really sure you don't need me to follow you?"

"Brother Xiaojing and I are not incapable of protecting ourselves, let alone bringing Xiaozhu and Dai Yi with us. If you are really worried, letting two more shadows follow you is enough. In fact, with Qi Zhifeng following us, our safety Don't worry, those people won't do anything if they are afraid of rats." Shen Cha passed on his clothes and turned around the screen, "Counting the days, I should receive a letter from Jingzhong today. Keep an eye on it and don't get out. trouble."

"knew!"

When Shen Cha took Mei Zhu downstairs, Dai Yi received the news and was already waiting in the lobby. When he saw Shen Cha, he told her in a low voice that Mr. Qi had arrived and was drinking tea with the military advisor.

Shen Cha nodded slightly and walked slowly to the hall, where he saw Qi Zhifeng holding Jin Jing's arm and talking happily.

"Why are you back so soon?" Shen Cha walked up to them, "Why are you so happy to talk?"

"Sister Xiaocha!" Seeing Shen Cha's arrival, Qi Zhifeng jumped up excitedly. Although he was happy, he still knew to avoid suspicion and did not approach Shen Cha. "Everything is ready. Can we set off?"

"anytime!"

"Then..." Qi Zhifeng reached out and picked up Jin Jing, who seemed to have no bones, "Let's go!"

Seeing Qi Zhifeng rushing out happily, Shen Cha and Jin Jing shook their heads helplessly and followed them leisurely.
