Early the next morning, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian saw off Song Jue, Bai Meng, and Hua Yao as they left Jiaping Pass. Originally, the two county princes and Shen Jiu also wanted to see them off, but they were still responsible for the morning farewell. Shit, we already said goodbye to each other the night before.

Seeing the group of people retreating, Xue Ruitian breathed a sigh of relief and followed Shen Haolin and Shen Cha into the city.

"Now that they're gone, I haven't had a good night's sleep in the little half a month since they were here. I should be able to have a good night's sleep tonight."

"It's too early to worry now. We have to wait until they actually arrive in the capital before we can breathe a sigh of relief." Shen Haolin patted Xue Ruitian on the shoulder, "There is nothing to do today. Let's go to Zuixian Tower to have breakfast before going back."

"You don't need to be so cautious. He has Bai Meng and the people around him. Only people with bad eyesight or those who want to die will get close to him." Xue Ruitian stretched and said, "I want to take leave today. "You must have a good sleep. No matter what happens, even if the sky falls, don't wake me up. Please let me sleep until I wake up naturally."

"……good!"

On the tenth day after Song Jue and Bai Meng left Jiaping Pass, Shen Cha received a secret letter from Xijing. The letter was written by Song Jue herself, telling her that they had arrived safely and asking them to rest assured. He also said that the Queen Mother misses her very much. They must go to Beijing as scheduled to comfort the Empress Dowager.

At the same time, Ying Thirteen also sent news back. After they escorted Song Jue back to the palace, they moved directly into the Zhenguo Palace. This move caused quite a shock in Xijing City. The big families were all asking if the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were going to be transferred back to Xijing. Later, they heard that he was only going to stay in Beijing for a short period of time, so they all sent their greeting cards one after another, hoping that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could see them when he was in Beijing.

Ying Shisan wrote in the letter that after receiving these invitations, he went directly to the palace, met with His Majesty the Emperor, sought His Majesty’s opinion, returned all the invitations, and told them that the Duke While I am in Beijing, I refuse all visits.

"Thirteen is getting more and more mature in handling things now. Xiaosi's teaching is good. If there is such an opportunity in the future, we can let him practice." Shen Cha yawned, handed the note to Shen Haolin, and said He smiled at Xue Ruitian, who was sitting across from him, "Fortunately, brother Xiaotian didn't go back, otherwise the threshold of the Hou Mansion would have been broken through. One by one, they said they disliked us, but every time they were like bees seeing honey. Come rushing over."

Xue Ruitian rubbed his shoulder and pressed it to the painful area, and couldn't help but frown.

"I'm just afraid of this, that's why I stayed with Xiaojing. Firstly, I'm on guard against what Liao and Jin will do, and secondly, those people in Xijing. Seeing them makes me feel a headache. Hiss, My uncle was so cruel, I think my shoulders will be blue when I wake up tomorrow morning."

"You don't know what you can do!" Jin Miaomiao sat aside and prepared ointment for Xue Ruitian. "Uncle Qin and Uncle Yan have always said they won't play with you. You insist on challenging them, and you also say you shouldn't be merciful. What's the result?" she asked. He rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, stop rubbing it. If you rub it this way, it won't be green tomorrow, and you won't be able to move it."

"But it hurts, it hurts so much!"

"You brought it on yourself, you deserve it!" Jin Miaomiao said angrily, "Take off your clothes and apply medicine!"

Xue Ruitian sighed and obediently followed Jin Miaomiao's instructions. When he saw her applying a dark, particularly unpleasant smell to his injured shoulder, he curled his lips in disgust.

"What did you do? Why does it smell so bad?"

"I know it doesn't smell good, so remember it better next time and don't get hurt!" Jin Miaomiao applied the medicine on him and rolled her eyes at him, "I just said, have you eaten enough to hold yourself up during the day? It wasn't enough to crawl around in the military camp. I didn't want to take a good rest at night, but I had to drag two old people to compete in martial arts. You were better, it was a blow on the shoulder, but my brother was unlucky and got injured without paying attention. I lost my foot, and now I can’t move even if I want to.”

"Isn't it just because I'm bored? I can't chat every night, right?" Are you going back to Beijing with Xiao Haolin and Xiao Cha?"

"Well!" Jin Miaomiao packed up her medicine box, "This year is a very critical year. I must stay by her side every step of the way. After this year, we can really let go."

"It's not easy!" Use it where it should be used.”

"Okay, I will tell you if necessary."

Shen Haolin listened to the two of them talking, lowered his head slightly to look at Shen Cha, who was half asleep, and helped her adjust her position so that she could lean more comfortably.

"There is one more important thing right now, which we need to do quickly before we leave." Shen Haolin waved to Xue Ruitian, "The weather is getting hotter, so there won't be large-scale rainfall, but there will be no large-scale rainfall. The dust is coming."

"What I'm saying is that Xiaocha and I are still talking about this matter today." Xue Ruitian nodded, "The city wall was repaired and reinforced last year. With a little repair this year, there will be no problem. The main concern is the residential buildings, at this time of year. , there are always people who find various excuses not to cooperate with us. If they still object according to me, let them sign a contract with us under the witness of the mayor, stating that they give up the right to repair. Once any problem occurs, all They are responsible for the consequences themselves and have nothing to do with us."

"This should have been done a long time ago!" Jin Miaomiao agreed with Xue Ruitian's proposal. "Every year we persuade with nice words, but they just don't listen to us, as if we are harming them by doing this. This year we persuade Once again, if they still persist in their stubbornness, let them take responsibility themselves. When the sand comes, other people's houses are fine, but theirs has collapsed. I don't think they have anything to say."

"Don't rush to conclusions yet. If they stop messing around this year, we don't have to be so unreasonable. But if they still stop us like in previous years..." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Just do what you guys do. Do what you say!”

Shen Cha did not fall asleep, but just closed his eyes to rest. After hearing their words, he opened his eyes slightly and sighed. Just when he was about to persuade them not to be too irritable, he heard a few knocks on the bedroom door. She frowned slightly.

"Xiaosi?" She cleared her throat, "Come in!"
