  Chen Yuan exhausted his tongue to make Lian Hua believe that he and Chen Shi Shi were just discussing some issues with filling words, so they got close only to prevent others from hearing, really nothing else.

  He spoke, and Lianhua listened, her face expressionless. Later on, it was unclear whether she had been persuaded by Chen Yuan or had come to a realization herself, or if she had simply found an excuse that even she believed in order to deceive herself.

  Anyway, Lianhua forgave Chen Yuan.

  Liu Hong's family also started to set up a banquet, although the atmosphere at the table was not very pleasant. Pang Ji occasionally had an impulse to smash his wine glass towards Song Qi across from him, but he managed to control himself and there were no further conflicts.

  After dispersing, Chen Yuan and Lian Hua sat in a horse-drawn carriage on their way home. Not having seen each other for three days, Chen Yuan naturally couldn't resist taking some liberties with his hands and feet inside the carriage.

  He was thinking whether to push this girl tonight, he himself would leave tomorrow, this trip is a long way away, when will he come back without a fixed period, leaving such a little girl who has reached the age of marriage at home, it's really not reassuring.

  But later on, this trip is still very dangerous, it's that Pang Xi, saying he's going to protect himself, but actually there's also the meaning of monitoring himself, all along he's been posing as a smuggler which is already dangerous, and after arriving in Yanjing, the task is even more uncertain, if there's any mishap, they might not be able to return.

  If I were to push her away now and couldn't come back myself, wouldn't that ruin her for the rest of her life? Forget it.

  Let's talk about it when we get back. As for Hu Jing, this time she followed me to Liao Guo, and I must find an opportunity to take her down along the way.

  Everything is ready, and although Pang Ji and Lü Yi are bad people, they are still very efficient in getting things done, especially when it comes to harming others. Their efficiency is unbelievable. In just a day or two, horses, vehicles, and troops were all prepared. The Pang family and the Prime Minister's mansion each selected some of their own guards and recruited some idle people from the streets to form a merchant team of over 200 people for Chen Yuan.

  The vehicles were loaded with porcelain, which was used to cope with the inspections of officials and soldiers along the way. After arriving in Baoding, they unloaded the porcelain and replaced it with salt. Chen Yuan then officially became Fu Xiao Tian's number one business manager, a smuggler.

  Everything was ready, and there was no reason to stay any longer. Although the tears of farewell from Lian Hua made Chen Yuan look back several times, and although the newly started business made him worried, under the urging of Pang Xi, Chen Yuan could only step onto the carriage and set off on the road to Liaoguo in the north.

  Chen the shopkeeper had a pretty good relationship with others, and when he was about to leave in his horse-drawn carriage, the neighbors would all come over to ask him where he was going and what business he had there.

  Facing a fleet of over 200 people, the tone of those who asked questions mostly contained some envy and jealousy.

  To those familiar neighbors, he said he was going to do business, big business.

  To those who care about him, including Liang Hua and Zhang Gui, he says that he is going to do some smuggling. He will be doing it with Xiang Guo Daren and Pang Tai Shi, so don't worry, please put your minds at ease.

  Only two people really knew the inside story, he and Pang Xi. Their purpose in going to Liao was to play a spy once. Espionage is a very dangerous task, and to avoid danger, the most basic requirement for being a spy is to know that secrets end with oneself.

  So, Hu Jing and Amu Dahan, who went to Liao with Chen Yuan, were also unclear about the true intention of this trip.

  Ah Mu looked at Pang Xi, still very entangled in his heart. If Bai Yutang killed his second brother, it could be explained as a difference in stance between the two sides, but Pang Xi's move to kill Lao Da was unforgivable.

  When he saw Pang Xi for the first time, Ah Mu had an urge to rush over desperately.

  Pang Xi smiled at him, and this smile meant a lot. Firstly, in the eyes of Jianghu people, it was Pang Xi asking him not to remember past events. Secondly, it was Pang Xi telling him that he would never be able to avenge himself, not for the rest of his life.

  The horse carriage was ready to depart, just as Chen Yuan was about to set off, when suddenly a hurried horseshoe sound came over, and dozens of fast horses stopped in the middle of the entire vehicle team.

  Dozens of knights on horseback held long guns, their eyes revealing a hint of anxiety, seeing over a hundred horse-drawn carriages parked together, the leader simply said: "Search!"

  Chen Yuanyi was taken aback, discovering that the leading knight was actually a woman, holding a long staff with an air of majesty.

  He was unclear what this person wanted to search for and didn't know who these people were.

  These people are now doing a very overbearing thing, even if they were officials, at the very least they should have asked whose car it was first. Even if they were robbers, at the very least they should have said what they wanted to find.

  However, Chen Yuan did not speak. There was one thing he could be sure of, and that was that these knights were very powerful, at least more powerful than Pang Xi. Because Pang Xi watched as they searched the entire convoy, but didn't show any intention of taking action.

  Chen Yuan stared at him for half a day, hoping he would do his duty as a bodyguard. However, Pang Xi dodged Chen Yuan's gaze and raised his head indifferently to look at the sun in the sky, as if this convoy had nothing to do with him.

  Chen Yuan saw that they were like this, and knew that these people were not easy to mess with. In his heart, he thought that since Pang Xi pretended not to see anything, he wouldn't say anything either. Anyway, for now, the things being pulled up were just some porcelain, nothing that couldn't be seen. If the other side wanted to search for something, they could go ahead and do so. If anything was missing, he would ask Lv Yi Jian about it later. Since Pang Xi didn't even dare offend them, neither would he.

  These people and the martial artists Chen Yuan had met at the Taishi Mansion were completely different from the heroes of Binyue Tower. From their movements as they searched the carriage, as well as their posture on horseback, it was clear that they were all highly trained.

  However, these people were still quite polite. Although they rummaged through some things, they didn't break any porcelain. After a moment's effort, the search was over. The female knight in charge saw that there was no result and immediately shouted loudly: "Who is the car owner?"

  Chen Yuan didn't want to stand out, but he had no choice. He ran a few steps and stood in front of the woman. Chen Yuan had always been very interested in women, especially those with professions he had never encountered before, such as when he first met Hu Jing, that female knight-errant, he even dared to flirt with her.

  However, when facing this female general, Chen Yuan became extremely honest, and he didn't know why: "I'm the boss of this caravan, what are your orders?"

  That man looked at Chen Yuan and then saw Pang Xi beside him: "It turns out that Director Pang is also here, that's good, it's easier to talk with a familiar person."

  Pang Xi couldn't hide anymore, and finally turned his head to the female knight, cupping his fists: "The little man has seen the Fire Marshal, but doesn't know what the Fire Marshal is looking for? Can the little man help?"

  The female knight really received a courtesy from him, and even returned it without hesitation: "Have you seen the young master of our house?"

  Pang Xi was taken aback and shook his head: "No."

  The female knight didn't say much more, tossed a silver ingot at Chen Yuan and said "My apologies." Then she led her cavalry troop to continue the pursuit ahead.

  After the female knight left, Chen Yuan walked up to Pang Xi and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

  Pang Xi let out a soft sigh: "She's just a maid from someone else's household."

  Chen Yuan was shocked: "Is it the steward of the Taishi Mansion, and still afraid of a little maid?"

  "Half of it is fear, half of it is not wanting to provoke her."

  Even if half of it is fear, it's still an unbearable thing. After all, in terms of status, Pang Xi is the steward of the Taishi Mansion, and in terms of martial arts, his Iron Shirt makes him immune to swords and guns.

  Pang Xi seemed to know what Chen Yuan was thinking, patted Chen Yuan's shoulder: "Let's go, boss. It is said that the four officials in front of the prime minister's gate are all high-ranking officials, but in other people's houses, even a kitchen maid is a first-class official, and it's an honorary title bestowed by the former emperor. Do you know who it is now?"

  Chen Yuan of course knew, his mouth wide open, staring at Yang Pai's rapidly disappearing back, murmuring: "Idol ah!"
