  But for now, it's not the right time, can only bury a foreshadowing, give Amu Da a reason, a reason to go find oneself when there is nowhere else to go.

  "My little brother's wine shop is doing well now, Third Brother, if you're not in a hurry to leave, why don't you go and have a couple of drinks?"

  Ah Mu Da finally turned his head around, Chen Yuan smiled at him and said: "Little brother is treating, consider it as an apology to Third Brother."

  "It's all right."

  The interrogation at Kaifeng Prefecture was just a routine procedure, separating the three people and then questioning them one by one. By the time Chen Yuan finished being questioned, Hu Jing had been waiting for him outside for quite some time.

  But that Amu, the affairs of the rivers and lakes were indeed not asked by Bao Zheng, only recently several theft cases in Bianjing were related to him, and someone had reported the case, so Bao Zheng must have made some explanation. Amu was locked up in the great prison of Kaifeng Prefecture.

  Originally, thieves like this wouldn't need to go to jail. They would just be branded on the face so others could tell they were a thief at a glance, then receive 50 heavy blows with a stick and be released.

  But since Ah Mu Dai was not a Han Chinese, the facial tattooing provision did not apply to him, so he would be imprisoned for a period of time and then sentenced to hard labor.

  When Chen Yuan returned to Yue Lai Inn, Lv Fu had been waiting for him for a long time.

  From his pacing back and forth in the inn, it was clear that he had been waiting anxiously. As soon as Chen Yuan and Hu Jing entered the inn, Lü Fu hurried over to greet them: "I said where did you go? Do you know I've been waiting for two hours?"

  Chen Yuan smiled wryly: "Old Man Lü, almost didn't make it in time."

  Lü Fu didn't have the mood to ask him why, and dragged Chen Yuan out: "The Prime Minister is in trouble, let me go find him. Since you're back, hurry up and follow me!"

  Chen Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, to know that Lü Yi Jian is now Chen Yuan's treasure, this old man if he helps himself support a year of facade, it will be worth Chen Yuan fighting alone for ten years!

  "What's wrong with the Prime Minister?" he hastily asked.

  Lü Fu dragged him along, not letting go: "This is not a place for talking, come with me to see the Prime Minister!"

  Chen Yuan wanted to struggle free: "Wait a minute, at least let me change out of these clothes?"

  Lv Fu stubbornly refused: "What's the use of changing, even if you change again, it won't become a first-class official."

  Helpless, Chen Yuan could only turn around and greet Hu Jing, letting her rest first and not wait for him to come back.

  When entering the Prime Minister's mansion, Chen Yuan found that not only was Lü Yi Jian waiting for him, but also Pang Ji, who was sitting beside him.

  Chen Yuan stepped forward and made a bow with his fists: "Your humble servant pays respects to Prime Minister, pays respects to Grand Preceptor!"

  Pang Ji squinted his eyes and stared at Chen Yuan, not saying a word. Lü Yi Jian looked him up and down, discovering that Chen Yuan's body was covered in mud and dust stains, and asked: "What happened?"

  Chen Yuan roughly told the story of what had happened, and Lü Yi listened to it with a smile. "Fortunately, you managed to escape," he said. "If anything had happened to you, I would have been in trouble."

  Chen Yuan asked: "Prime Minister, what exactly happened?"

  Lü Yi let out a soft sigh, then said: "This time I handed over my power, originally it was a temporary expedient to retreat in order to advance, but what I didn't expect was that as soon as I handed over a little bit of it, they couldn't tolerate me anymore."

  Chen Yuan listened and instead of showing a worried expression for Lü Yi Jian, he hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister, congratulations to the Grand Preceptor."

  Lv Yi Jian and Pang Ji exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing at the same time.

  Lv Yi pointed at Pang Ji: "Taishi, I said Shi Mei is a clever person, right? No need to sell Guan Zhong."

  Pang Ji looked at Chen Yuan with another gaze: "Hmm, not bad. Handing things over to him should be fine."

  Chen Yuan asked: "Prime Minister, is there anything you want me to take care of?"

  Lü Yi nodded: "We want to let the Emperor know that in some matters, no one can replace my and Taishi's position. Shimei, I just received an important piece of information today. Ye Lü Nuoluo coming to our Great Song is not simply a matter of contacting a few key people. According to what I know, the ruler of Liao has been eyeing our Great Song covetously, and half a year ago, he sent many spies deep into our territory to map out our border defenses. This time Ye Lü Nuoluo came, it's to collect all the maps of each border region, and then take them back to Liao."

  Chen Yuan was taken aback, although he didn't understand military affairs, he also knew the severity of this situation. If the Liao people were to grasp the geographical layout and troop deployment of the Great Song Dynasty's border defense, once a battle started, the Great Song would be unable to withstand it!

  Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he somewhat understood what Lü Yi Jian wanted him to do.

  As expected, Lü Yi Jian immediately said: "Moreover, Li Yuanhao of the Xixia is also somewhat untrustworthy now. The plan I proposed to His Majesty is to let people stir up conflicts between the Xixia and Khitan peoples, so we can reap the benefits."

  Chen Yuan furrowed his brow and said: "This strategy of killing two birds with one stone is good, but I'm afraid the Tanguts and Khitans will also use it."

  Pang Ji finally spoke up: "Not bad, being able to see this point is enough to prove that we are much stronger than Song Qi. We dare to say that Song Qi will definitely not be able to complete the task smoothly. At this time, we hope that Your Majesty knows that we are more capable than them, understand?"

  Chen Yuan looked at Lü Yi Jian, his eyes almost pleading: "Prime Minister, my business has just started to look up recently. If I leave now, I'm afraid it will suffer losses."

  Lv Yi Jian hadn't spoken yet when Pang Ji patted his chest and said: "I'll take responsibility for this!"

  Chen Yuan cursed in his heart: "This old man won't die."

  Lü Yi sighed: "Taishi, if Shimei really can't get away with it, then forget it. At worst, Song Qi won't complete the task, and the Song Dynasty will suffer another disaster. Even if Bianjing is captured, it has nothing to do with us two. By that time, we should have been squeezed out of Bianjing by those people like Fan Zhongyan."

  Pang Ji also sighed deeply: "I have a daughter in the palace, at most it's like this now, but it's not easy to deal with Xiang Guo. At this age, being squeezed out, can he still come back alive?"

  They sang in harmony, the meaning was very clear, no need for discussion.

  Chen Yuan could only smile wryly: "I didn't mean it that way, I'm just saying that although I have some small cleverness, I don't have the ability to tie up a chicken. If I were to mess things up instead, wouldn't that be a disappointment to Xiang Guo and Tai Shi's cultivation?"

  As soon as the words fell, Pang Xi standing beside Pongji said: "Don't worry, this time I'll go with you."

  Lao Pang was really generous, even his personal bodyguard was brought out. Chen Yuan understood in his heart that this trip he had to go, whether he wanted to or not.

  Since there's no way to resist the inevitable, let's just give it a try. On the other hand, with Pang Xi, this monster who is immune to swords and guns by his side, he at least has some assurance of safety.

  Chen Yuan looked down and secretly glanced at Pang Ji, thinking to himself, this old Pang has used his bodyguards for himself, and those two concubines have also been used by him, what else can he use? His mansion seems not bad, one day when old Pang falls from power, I will definitely buy it and live there.

  Lao Hei is begging everyone to give it a boost, and it will be on the new book list soon. It's all up to you brothers for support!
