Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 68 Disturbance in the Dining Room 2.0

"You three?"

After hearing Li Yu's words, the people in the room were all stunned, looking at the three children with disbelief in their eyes.

"Yes, it's the three of us!" Mo Kai spoke very quickly, and when he heard the question, he answered without thinking. "We have already discussed it. One person will be on duty for an hour. This night will pass soon, and there will be no problem. Marshal, General, and General Xia and General Wei don't have to worry."

"Xiao Kai, I can call you that, right?" Seeing Mo Kai nodding, Shen Cha put down the teacup in his hand, walked up to the three children and squatted down, and said seriously, "We are worried about you Body, this kind of work is not what you three children should do, right? The night watch of the dining room must be reported to me every month. In my memory, there are no names of the three of you. So, Why did you appear here tonight, and where did the person who was supposed to be on duty go?"

"Yes, this question is very serious, and you must answer it honestly."

Shen Haolin's face had lost the smile just now, and his gaze was like a torch, making the eyes of the three children dizzy.Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian have discussed it more than once. Once their Duke becomes serious and serious, no matter if he acts like the commander of the Shen family army or puts on the airs of other Dukes, he will immediately show his air of calmness and prestige. Few people can bear it, including the two of them.

Now, the majesty of the commander of the Shen family's army came out, Xia Jiu and Wei Zixin immediately put down the plates and dishes in their hands, stood up from the stool, straightened their waists, as if they were discussing matters in a handsome tent .Even Xia Jiu and Wei Zixin looked like this, let alone the three children who had seen big scenes, they were immediately overwhelmed by Shen Haolin's aura, and they couldn't help shrinking themselves into a ball.

The older Li Yu, who was slightly better than the two younger brothers, barely supported him, keeping the two younger brothers behind him.

"Don't blame the marshal for being angry. This is a very big matter. Even in an ordinary yamen, leaving one's post without authorization is a felony. What's more, this is a military camp, or a military camp at the border." Shen Cha turned to Shen Haolin Pointing to the teacup that was put down before, she winked at him by the way, telling him to restrain himself a little, so as not to frighten the children.After taking two sips of the tea fed by Shen Haolin, Shen Cha turned around again, looked at the three children, and said, "In case of a sudden war, those children are missing. We have reasons to be sure that they have already defected to the enemy. If If they are captured, they will be a capital offense. And you who sheltered them... will become accomplices of traitors and be executed together."

"That..." Xia Jiu coughed lightly, "Marshal, General, I have a few words I want to say to some of the children."

"Your Highness, please!" Shen Cha stood up, walked to Shen Haolin's side and sat down, looked up at Xia Jiu, "I wonder what Your Highness wants to say?"

"From the bottom of my heart, the general doesn't need to worry." Xia Jiu walked up to the three trembling children who stood up from the small stools, sighed, and said, "Whether it is as a member of the royal family or as a member of the Shen family army, This king has to tell you that what the general said is true, not to threaten you, and there is evidence to rely on." Xia Jiu turned to look at Shen Haolin, "The marshal still remembers the past of the Xin'an army ?”

"I remember." Shen Haolin nodded, "The Xin'an Army was originally an elite team in the southwest border. Since its establishment, it has been guarding the southwestern border for the imperial court. Once upon a time, the southwestern border of my Great Xia was said to be invincible and invincible. At that time, the Duan Clan had not yet established a country, and the biggest enemy on the southwestern border was Xiqiang, and they were old enemies with our Great Xia. What happened later, until now, we still think it is very bizarre, even so bizarre that it is a bit ridiculous."

"The two soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city gate didn't know whether they had taken the wrong medicine, or their minds were occupied by something for a while, but they actually left the city gate at the same time. Xi Qiang took this opportunity to sneak attack and attack the city, causing the world to turn upside down. And that night became the biggest nightmare for the southwest border and the Xin'an Army."

"What your Highness said is that nearly 100 years have passed since this nightmare, and I haven't really woken up." Shen Hao and Lin Tian sighed heavily, "Although they fought hard to drive the enemy out of the city, the Xin'an Army also made great efforts. It was a painful price. The coach, thirteen generals and 26 lieutenants were all killed in battle, and only eleven of the 48 generals survived. These eleven people were not truly relieved until the day they died. And those two The bodies of the soldiers who deserted their posts were found in the haystack not far from the city gate."

"Since then, border gates and armies have re-enacted almost abnormal military regulations, just to prevent such tragedies from happening." Xia Jiu bent slightly, stared at the three children and said, "So, you understand Why are the marshal and the general angry?"

"We were wrong!" The three children fell to their knees with a plop, and bowed to several people, "Please punish the prince, marshal, and general!"

"Hey, this king has no right to make decisions about things like this. I am a prince in Xijing, and I am only a lieutenant general in the Shen family army. I have no right to punish you." Xia Jiu completed the task and took the three The child was thrown to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and he went back to his little stool and sat down, and even pulled his good brother over to sit down. "Let me add one more thing. It's useless for you to conceal it. The general has plenty of means to find out what's going on. So, you'd better explain the ins and outs of the matter honestly. After all, you are going to enter the Shen family army in the future, so you can't carry such stains on your body!"

"Yes!" As the elder brother, Li Yu still protected his two younger brothers. He kowtowed to everyone and said, "Marshal, General Rong Zhi, the two uncles who are in charge of the night duty today drink a cup of tea while eating at noon." After drinking, they have not sobered up until now, and they are still sleeping soundly in their tents. But the dining room cannot be without a night watchman. Originally, a few grandpas wanted to replace them, but the grandpas are getting old and can’t stand it at all, and It's not good for their health either. So, the three of us volunteered to share the burden for grandpa. The grandpas didn't agree to it at first, but we didn't think of a better way for a long time, so..."

"It seems that you are not here to cover up those who have made mistakes, but out of filial piety, which can be forgiven. However, the kitchen helpers in the dining room have drunk too much? None of them are sober? Are they... do they drink often? ?”

Shen Cha frowned slightly, and exchanged glances with Shen Haolin, both of them realized the seriousness of the problem.Shen Cha winked at Ying Qi, who bowed slightly and left the dining room quickly.

"It's not often, maybe once or twice a month, but I never drank too much, today should be the first time!" Zhang Jing took two steps forward, "Well, marshal, general, in fact, they are drunk There is a reason for it to be like this.”

"Get up first, get up and talk later!" Shen Haolin raised his hand and asked the three children to get up. It was icy and snowy, kneeling on the cold stone bricks. If the children's legs were destroyed, it would be troublesome. "Sit!" He pointed to the small stools of the three children, "Tell me, why?"

"It's because of Mrs. Jin Miaomiao." Zhang Jing looked at Li Yu and then at Mo Kai, swallowed, and continued, "It's because Mrs. Jin Miaomiao chose us to go to the Duke's Mansion instead of them."

"Yes, there have always been rumors here that Master Jin Miaomiao is selecting apprentices, so they feel that they are very suitable in all aspects." Mo Kai saw that Zhang Jing had made a start, and said everything he knew. "This, I overheard them when I was there last time. They also said that if they could leave here and enter the Duke's Mansion, they would be able to reach the sky in one step. From now on, they can go anywhere...well, domineering, yes , That's what they said!" Seeing everyone staring at him, Mo Kai quickly waved his hands at them, "I wasn't found, I ran away before they saw me."

"I see!" Shen Cha nodded, sneered, and said, "So, they know that Mrs. Jin Miaomiao chose you three children, but they didn't choose them who seem very experienced and capable. , I felt unwilling. It happened that the army came in and prepared a batch of wine for the New Year, and they used the wine to drown their sorrows."

"Boss!" Ying Qi, who went out to check the situation, came back and nodded towards Shen Cha, "Seven of them, one of them is quite a few, and they are all asleep! Judging by their appearance, each of them drank at least one pot, one big pot."

"A big altar? No wonder you're so drunk!" Shen Haolin smiled at Shen Cha, "How about it, General, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Since you have already had the idea of ​​rectifying military discipline, why don't you take this opportunity? , clean up those guys well, it can be regarded as a reminder to the soldiers."

"What the marshal said is that the general will obey!" Shen Cha smiled back at Shen Haolin, "Meilin, find three thick blankets to cover the children, and then take them to the marshal's main tent, and also, go to wake up the meal on the way." The four master masters in the room, please go to the main tent and wait."

"Yes, General!" Merlin replied, and ran outside to find a blanket.

"General Xia, General Wei, both of you, please send your personal soldiers to inform the chief generals and deputy generals of each battalion, and ask them to come to the main tent."

"Yes!" Xia Jiu and Wei Zixin looked at each other, saluted Shen Haolin, and left in a hurry.

"Xiaoqi, you will inform the military division and Lord Hou, and find Xiaowu and Shiqi by the way, and ask them to lead the training camp to tie up those drunkards."

"Do you want to take it to the main account?"

"Listen to my orders!"

"Yes!"

When only Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were left in the dining room, Shen Haolin stretched out his arms and embraced Shen Cha in his arms.

"Brother, I'm sorry, it was my mistake!"

"Don't let anything happen, just say it's your own mistake, it's not good, I don't like it!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha's back lightly, "Besides, Cha'er made a great contribution today."

"great merit?"

"If it wasn't for Cha'er coming here today, we wouldn't have discovered this matter at all, and we wouldn't be able to make a big fuss about it, right?" Shen Haolin kissed his forehead lightly, "This credit is for Cha'er. Son, so, don't blame yourself." Shen Haolin let go of Shen Cha, took her hand and walked out, "It's almost time, everyone should be here, General, are you ready to show your might?"

"Of course, what about the Marshal?"

"Everything is ready!"
