  After dinner, Amu Da took the apprentices to the perfume shop for a bath, while Pang Xi arranged for a few people to guard the goods, leaving only Hu Jing and Chen Yuan in the inn room.

  Hu Jing was taking a bath, girls love cleanliness, asked the shopkeeper for some water, and washed herself in her room, without going to the perfume store.

  Chen Yuan was pacing back and forth in the house, a pot of tea had already been brewed, and the Chunfen had also been put in. He just waited for Hu Jing to finish her bath, and then he would deliver it to her himself, after which everything would develop as he wished.

  Chen Yuan made up his mind to take the teapot and open the door to send it to Hu Jing, but he always felt that doing so was a bit despicable.

  But he was not reconciled, thinking that his means were a bit despicable, and Hu Jing would not mind too much after the event. After all, the development of the two people had been going well for some time, and those intimate actions had also taken place.

  It's just that these days, because of getting along with Pang Xi, Hu Jing has been a bit unhappy. Being slightly distant from each other, if they were to break through that thin layer of reserve, it should help thaw their relationship.

  Finally, Chen Yuan suddenly thought that he didn't know if he could come back alive this time, and a vicious idea arose in his heart: "No matter how Qing wakes up later, if I don't take her down now, what if later she can only cry at my grave? Wouldn't that be too much of a loss?"

  The lotus flower is injured and cannot be lifted, that girl has a dead heart, if she recognizes someone as her own, once something good or bad happens to herself, she might do something stupid. But Hu Jing is different, a woman who runs the rivers and lakes, even if she is conservative, she must have at least some courage.

  The idea turned here, Chen Yuan made a firm decision: "It's not just pushing a woman, is it? I'm not irresponsible, what am I afraid of? Let's do it!"

  He walked towards the door with a water jug, this time he was determined not to look back.

  Just as Chen Yuan was about to open the door at the entrance, the door suddenly burst open.

  The man crashed into the door with great force, knocking Chen Yuan to the ground. The teapot also fell beside him, making a "crash" sound as it shattered.

  "Brother Chen, are you hurt?" Chen Yuan looked up to see that it was Bai Yutang, the White Jade Mouse.

  Chen Yuan was filled with sorrow and indignation in his heart. He really couldn't understand why Bai Yutang had to appear at this time?

  The sorrow and indignation in his heart were revealed on his face, yet with an expression of wanting to cry but having no tears.

  Bai Yutang was also stunned: "Brother Chen, what's going on?"

  Chen Yuan pointed at the teapot, but couldn't say a word.

  At this time, Pang Xi heard the noise rushing over from the side. He took a look at Bai Yutang and then looked at Chen Yuan who was lying on the ground. Without saying a word, he punched Bai Yutang with one fist.

  Bai Yutang hastily turned around and the two of them started fighting loudly.

  Chen Yuan was still staring at the shattered teapot. Why was it so coincidental? Why did Bai Yutang happen to bump into the door at this exact moment?

  He crouched on the ground, staring fiercely at Bai Yutang, hoping that Pang Xi, this knife-proof and bullet-proof monster, would teach him a lesson. But who knew that after fighting for a while, Pang Xi couldn't even defeat Bai Yutang.

  The white jade hall's sword in his hand was like lightning, the tip of the sword always pointed at Pang Xi's eyes. No matter how good the iron cloth shirt practice was, there was no way to protect the eyes.

  After a while, Chen Yuan saw that it was no use for Pang Xi to teach Bai Yutang, so he shouted: "Stop fighting!"

  The two of them did listen, and after Chen Yuan shouted out, they both stopped.

  Chen Yuan's eyes, filled with sorrow and anger, fell on the broken teapot, then shifted to Pang Xi: "Is there any more of that medicine?"

  Pang Xi gently shook his head, causing Chen Yuan to be extremely disappointed.

  It wasn't until after a while that they were certain Pang Xi couldn't produce another package of spring powder, that Chen Yuan asked: "Yutang, how did you end up here?"

  Bai Yutang looked at Pang Xi and then at Chen Yuan: "Are you guys together?"

  Chen Yuan nodded: "Mm, just doing a deal together."

  Bai Yutang was apparently hesitant due to Pang Xi's appearance and thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Chen, I need your help."

  Pang Xi sat down beside Chen Yuan, also warily eyeing Bai Yutang, and spoke on behalf of Chen: "No way, this trip we're only doing business, not looking for trouble."

  Bai Yutang placed the precious sword on the table and sat down: "Manager Pang, I have nothing to say."

  Pang Xi was not in the sound, Chen Yuan was a bitter smile: "Yu Tang, this time, I am doing business with Director Pang together. If things get big, it's really not very convenient."

  If it were according to Ping's usual temperament, Chen Yuan would have definitely stormed off after saying that. But today he didn't.

  Pang Xi's face revealed a triumphant expression, his eyes fixed on Bai Yutang, with an air of victory. Pang Xi also thought that Bai Yutang's temper should be turned around and walked away now.

  Who would have thought that after a while, Bai Yutang suddenly clenched his fist and rushed to Pang Xi, saying: "If I didn't really have no other choice, I wouldn't come to trouble you all. Brother Chen, rest assured, I just want to ask for your help in thinking of a solution, not asking you to directly lend a hand. Please let General Manager Pang allow me to finish speaking before making a decision."

  Pang Xi is also an old hand, no matter what, between him and Bai Yutang, apart from their different stances, they have no personal grudges. Now that Bai Yutang has unexpectedly humbled himself to speak, if he doesn't leave some room for maneuver, then from now on, he and the Five Rats will be sworn enemies.

  He didn't want to provoke an enemy for no reason, and even less did he want to provoke a sworn enemy like Bai Yutang.

  Duan Xia and Chen Yuan exchanged a glance, both knowing that this matter was not trivial. Pang Xi's tone became much more polite: "Brother Bai, please go ahead and speak, if it's nothing troublesome, I naturally won't decline."

  "We didn't come here to hide anything from you, General," said Bai Yutang after a moment's thought. "This time we've come to hunt down Ye Lü Nuoluo. He has with him a map of the Great Song Dynasty's border regions, detailing mountains and rivers, garrison deployments, and troop movements - all of which have been thoroughly investigated by the Liao Kingdom. If this map falls into the hands of the Liao Kingdom, it will be extremely detrimental to our dynasty. Therefore, our mission on this trip is to stop at nothing to keep Ye Lü Nuoluo and the map in Datong."

  Pang Xi's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this. Chen Yuan, however, was taken aback - if the orders they received were to stop at nothing, would Bao Zheng also stoop to such means?

  He now believes Lü Yijian's words, and Bao Zheng's smooth career as an official is absolutely not just due to his integrity and uprightness. Those small moves in the officialdom, Bao Zheng must have mastered them all; those means, he must also be very clear about.

  This did not affect the image of Judge Bao in Chen Yuan's mind, because there are two kinds of unscrupulous means. One is to disregard means for the sake of the greater good, such as Bao Zheng. The other is to disregard means for personal gain, such as Pang Ji.

  Pang Xi thought for a moment and asked: "What do you want us to help with?"

  Now that you mention it, Bai Yutang knew that Pang Xi had actually agreed. Pang Xi had no reason to refuse, he was doing things for Master Pang, and although Pang Ji was bad, he also knew that if the Song Dynasty was over and Renzong was over, he would not be able to become a master either. So helping this time, Pang Ji will definitely not object.

  The most important thing is that the object of cooperation is Kaifeng Prefecture, not those people like Fan Zhongyan.

  For Bao Zheng, Pang Ji's guiding principle was: if you can avoid offending someone, don't offend them; if you can avoid direct conflict, try to avoid it.

  Bai Yutang spoke out about the difficulties he encountered: "After we entered Datong, we couldn't find any trace of Ye Lü Chucai's whereabouts. This made us very curious - he had just arrived in the city and we followed right after him. But strangely, no one asked about his whereabouts, all the inns were searched thoroughly, but not a single one of his subordinates was found, leaving us with nothing to do."
