Chapter 89: Unexpected

  ♂?,,

  The five people stopped talking, and Qi Wen continued: "Five of you, don't blame me. I'm closing the door now. In less than three hours, all of you will suffocate to death. Leaving your corpses here is also a way for me to make amends with you."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around to prepare for another pull on the iron ring. Just as he walked behind Yelü Niegulu, Qi Wen suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed him. Yelü Niegulu was already seriously injured, and with this push, he fell off from above.

  This unexpected turn of events shocked everyone including Pang Xi, but Yelü Niegulu was the most severely injured as he had been pushed down and fell to the bottom.

  After crawling up from the ground, Yelü Niegulu found himself in a very unfavorable situation. Surrounding him were hostile eyes, and going up was not an option either.

  Qī Wén finally pulled the door ring, and the iron gate at the top of the trap slowly closed. Yelü Nü'er only heard Qī Wén say: "Ninth prince, I'm sorry. It's the people of Liao who want your life. The Grand King of the South gave me 5,000 taels of gold to leave you here. I'm just doing business for money, and when I go to Yan Wang's place, don't mention my name."

  All of this happened in an instant. Yelü Chucai's mood was still a bit immersed in the complacency of just now, but he had already fallen. The trap inside changed from five people to six, and the entire environment also changed from having a little light to complete darkness.

  Just like the fate of these six people.

  Yelü Niegulu was thrown again and his injuries worsened. He leaned against the wall, motionless, gasping for breath.

  The panting sound made Xu Qing very annoyed: "Big brother, I'll kill this kid first. There's not much air in here to begin with. Look at him taking big mouthfuls one after another. If we kill him, we can live a little longer!"

  Yelü Deguang immediately controlled his breathing and hastily said: "Everyone, everyone, I think we should work together to get out of this situation. Only if we are united can we have hope of escaping. What do you all say?"

  Lu Fang let out a soft sigh: "I really didn't think that we, the Five Rats, would capsize here. Xu Qing, don't kill him yet, living a little longer or shorter doesn't make much difference."

  Bai Yutang tried to jump up, but the walls around him were unusually smooth and there was no place to borrow force. After falling twice, he gave up.

  Following the sound, Bai Yutang felt for Ye Lü Nu'er and then grabbed his collar: "Ninth Prince, tell us everything we don't know. Anyway, none of us can leave now, let's make things clear."

  Yelü Niegulu was already very weak, but still nodded: "Okay, you listen to me slowly. The things before, you all know. That map is no longer on me, when I came, the map was still in Datong, now it's probably on its way."

  No one interrupted him, in this environment, no one would care who deceived whom.

  Yelü Niwulu continued: "Soon, our troops will attack Wenchong. We know that we can definitely take it down because Qiwen has already sold out Wenchong. Everyone here will die - General Pang, the four of us, and those merchant teams outside, not a single one will survive... only I didn't think that I would also die..."

  Lu Fang was shocked: "What? You say Liao State is going to attack Great Song?"

  Yelü Nügu's wound was very painful, he called out softly and then continued: "Hmmm, this is what we planned. In our Liao country, some people advocate for using troops against the Song first, while others advocate for using troops against Western Xia. However, no matter what, we must first capture several small cities around Datong."

  Bai Yutang suddenly asked Pang Xi: "General Manager Pang, how is Chen Shimin now?"

  Pang Xi also let out a long sigh before speaking, because he felt the same suffocating feeling in his heart: "I think Qi Wen's next target is him."

  Bai Yutang sat on the ground with a dejected expression, muttering to himself: "I hope that Shi Mei and Ji Ren Tian Xiang can escape this disaster, return and send word, so that the defending troops of the Great Song can be prepared."

  Chen Yuan was thinking at this time, whether he had any reason to knock on Hu Jing's door again. While pondering, Ah Mu lazily said beside him: "Don't go again, I'm afraid she'll really break her leg."

  Chen Yuan sat on the bed with a very disheartened look, feeling somewhat unwilling to accept it.

  After leaving Wenshui, it's the Liao State, with a treacherous 300-mile road ahead, and it's uncertain whether they can safely reach Yanjing. For now, don't push Hu Jing away, or this meat that's already at their lips might only be smelled under their nose.

  It's still okay, after all, it's much better than not being able to smell any fragrance at all.

  He comforted himself and turned over on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a while before asking, "Ah Mu Da, why hasn't Pang Xi come back yet?"

  He himself has legs, don't ask me about his affairs.

  Chen Yuan sighed and thought to himself that Pang Xi had gone to the military camp with Bai Yutang and others, so there shouldn't be any problems.

  She shook her head and said, "Let's not wait for him, let's go wash up and sleep first."

  A knock at the door sounded, Chen Yuan was taken aback, who would come to see him at this time? Opening the door, a black figure stood in the doorway, wearing military uniform and a large hat of Song Dynasty soldiers, covering his head and face.

  "Who are you?" Chen Yuan asked suspiciously.

  The soldier raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan: "Boss, do you still remember me?"

  Chen Yuanyi took one look at this face and realized it was the person he had been trying to find last night, somewhat familiar but couldn't quite recall.

  The soldier smiled slightly: "Boss, didn't you praise me for being very creditworthy? Have you forgotten?"

  Chen Yuan suddenly remembered that this was because of Shi Kun, who had been sentenced to a tattoo and military service for leading a group of people to smash his own hotel.

  "It's actually Shi Da Ge, come in quickly, come in quickly."

  After Shi Kun entered the door, he busied himself closing the house door: "It's rare for the boss to still remember old friends. Although we met in a place and manner that wasn't quite right, being able to meet familiar people in this foreign land is also a kind of fate."

  Chen Yuan smiled: "That's right, I saw Brother Shi flash in front of me yesterday and was a bit suspicious. I never thought we'd meet here. Come on, have a cup of tea first, and tomorrow at noon, I'll invite you to drink again."

  "Shopkeeper, we don't need tea or wine. I'm here to ask questions. What about the friend who came with us, and those people who were fighting in the back just now?"

  Chen Yuan didn't know what Shi Kun meant by asking this, and cautiously replied: "It's just a few friends, what's wrong?"

  Shi Kun waved his hand: "They have all been caught by Qi Wen. Please make a decision quickly, shopkeeper."

  These words sounded in his ears, Chen Yuan almost suspected that he had misheard or Shu Kun had misspoken. But Shu Kun's expression told Chen Yuan that what he heard was true, and there was no need to repeat it again.

  "Why? Why did Qiwen do this?" Chen Yuan asked in puzzlement.

  Shi Kun shook his head: "This news is absolutely reliable. As for why Qi Wen would do this, how should I know?"

  Chen Yuan felt a sense of fear enveloping him, but Shi Kun didn't stay and turned to leave the inn. Before leaving, he said: "Innkeeper, I'm only here to report the news because we're from the same hometown. If I get caught, don't you dare mention my name! Considering Qi Wen just ordered the troops to assemble, I'll take my leave first."

  After Shi Kun left, Chen Yuan hurriedly ran to the third floor of the inn, climbed up to the rooftop and took a look. Sure enough, he saw a team of neatly arranged torches gathering inside the military camp. Thinking about it again, Pang Xi hadn't returned for such a long time, and in his heart, he knew that Shi Kun was right.

  Chen Yuan rushed downstairs and shouted at Ah Mu: "Ah Mu, pack a few clothes quickly and let's go!"

  Ah Mu had long been prepared, with a simple package slung over his shoulder.

  Chen Yuan went to knock on Hu Jing's door again, knocking twice, but Hu Jing still didn't open the door. Chen Yuan was extremely anxious and didn't care about anything else, so he kicked the door open with one foot.

  But Hu Jing was already standing in front of the door with a treasured sword in hand, her face as cold as frost: "Do you really want me to break your leg?"

  Chen Yuan rushed in and grabbed her: "Save your fight for later, now we have to get out of here!"

  "What's going on?"

  Chen Yu quickly helped her pick up two pieces of clothing: "No time for explanations, to put it simply, Song Qi is a bad guy, he's captured Pang Xi and Bai Yutang, and now he's coming to kill us!"

  Although it was said simply, it was very clear. Hu Jing watched Chen Yuan pack his bags and prepare to run away, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, where are you going?"

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, let's get out of the city first!"

  Hu Jing didn't mean to leave, instead she blocked the doorway: "Brother Chen, what about Pang Xi?"

  Chen Yuanyi waved his hand: "What's it to us? He's Old Pang's man, aren't we always trying to kill him?"

  "What about Bai Yutang? What about the Four Rats? They are his friends!"

  Chen Yuanshan reached out to push away Hu Jing: "At this time, I'm in a desperate situation myself. Qi Wen is the current general of Wen Tong, and the whole city is filled with his men! They're gathering now! If one person can escape, that's one person at least. At the very least, if I can make it back to report what happened here..."

  Hu Jing still didn't let up: "Brother Chen! No matter what, shouldn't you also manage those guys in the back? You're the boss, and you brought them out!"

  Chen Yuan was anxious: "A Mu Da, pull her away!"

  Hu Jing's face was stern: "Brother Chen, we can ignore the fact that Pang Xi is a bad person. We Jianghu people have our own lives and deaths, and it's not anyone else's fault. But what about those brothers? They were brought out, and now they need to be taken back. As the boss, you ran away as soon as something happened, what are they supposed to do?"

  Chen Yuan was blocked by Hu Jing and rushed twice but couldn't get out. He shouted loudly: "A Mu Da!"

  Ah Mu didn't move either and calmly said: "Boss, she's right."

  "Look at Hu Jing and A Mu, Chen Yuan angrily slammed the package to the ground: "What did I come for! I should have thrown it here and run away myself! Why is there always so much trouble every time?"

  After finishing, he sat down on the chair with a thud and continued to say: "If there's a way, I also want to be a great hero, I also want to rescue them all! But now I can't even keep myself alive, how can I think of others? From the day I met him, I knew that sooner or later, I would be killed!"
