Chapter 90: A Way Out, Right on the Road of Death

  ♂?,,

  Hu Jing suddenly became extremely gentle, walked in from the door, half-kneeling in front of Chen Yuan, with both hands on Chen Yuan's legs: "I know you're the most capable, even in that cellar, you can think of a way to escape. Now, I'm sure you'll think of a way too. In my heart, you're really the best."

  Chen Yuan let out a bitter laugh: "The dungeon is dead! But the three thousand defending soldiers in this city are alive!"

  Hu Jing said firmly: "Chen Ge, I hope my future husband is a responsible and real man. No matter what he wants to do, I will accompany him, even if it means accompanying him to death."

  Chen Yuan slung the package over his shoulder, looking rather dispirited: "Forget it, I'll give it a try anyway!"

  Hu Jing listened with great joy: "Brother Chen, I knew there must be a way."

  "Now I have no way either. What I mean is, we must leave here now. In a moment, Qi Wen will come to catch us. If he catches us, it's really over!"

  Hu Jing seemed to have some doubts about Chen Yuan's character, which wasn't surprising. It could only be said that Chen Yuan's performance was too outstanding. Hu Jing carefully asked: "You're not looking for an excuse to leave, are you?"

  "Girl Knight! I promise not to leave the city, isn't that enough?"

  Three people had just left and hid in the ironwork shop next door, a team of brightly armored soldiers rushed into the inn from the military camp.

  If it was any slower, Chen Yuan and his men would have caught up on the spot.

  Chen Yuan let out a long sigh, and Ah Mu asked in a low voice: "Boss, what do we do now? This place is too small, and there's nowhere to hide. If those soldiers come searching for us, we won't be able to escape."

  Chen Yuandao took a few deep breaths, cleared his mind and said to the two: "If Qiwen City is searching for us, we can't live anyway. Now we can only take a gamble."

  "What's the bet?"

  Chen Yuan looked at the several guards standing at the city gate, then said: "The entire military camp has three thousand people, I don't believe these three thousand soldiers are all on Qi Wen's side!"

  Ah Mu's eyebrows furrowed, the odds of this bet were easy to calculate. First, Chen Yuan had to find a soldier who didn't wear the same pants as Qi Wen. This was very dangerous for them, who didn't understand the troops. If they made a mistake and found Qi Wen instead, it would be like jumping into a trap.

  Then, the person who is found must also have the courage and ability to challenge Qiwen. Most importantly, it's about ability, as Qiwen is the highest military commander here, would anyone in the army dare to confront him?

  The three of them didn't say a word. Chen Yuan thought for a while and couldn't think of a second way out either. The longer they stayed here, the greater the danger would be.

  He decided to gamble. Even if his chances of winning were about the same as winning the lottery, it was still better than staying here doing nothing.

  Chen Yuan stood up: "You all wait here, I'll go find the soldiers guarding the gate. Maybe this troop really has someone who can help us."

  Hu Jing quickly stood up: "I'll go with you!"

  Chen Yuanyi suddenly pulled her into his arms, and this time, Hu Jing didn't push him away.

  Chen Yuan smiled and said in a low voice, "There's no difference between one person going or two people going. You two promise me that if anything happens to me, don't worry about me, rush out of the city immediately, return to Datong, return to Datong to report, let Song Jun know what happened here."

  Hu Jing felt a warmth in her eyes, and Amu nodded: "Don't worry, if I can get out, I'll go to Datong first, then return to Bianjing to find Lord Bao."

  Chen Yuan nodded and then said one more sentence to Hu Jing: "If, I mean if, we both get out of this safely,"

  Hu Jing didn't wait for him to finish and immediately continued: "If we can survive, from now on, we'll be together every day. I'll let you into my room."

  Chen Yuanshao smiled happily, stretched out his hand and gently wiped Hu Jing's face: "If something happens to me, promise me to take good care of yourself and don't interfere with other people's business in the future, got it?"

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away with big steps, holding his head high and walking towards the city gate.

  To die or to live, let's gamble once.

  In the military camp, Qiwen respectfully poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of a man in black, saying with a somewhat flattering tone: "Sir, please have some tea."

  He took over the tea bowl and nodded: "Hmm, this time it's done well, the Great King of Nan Institute is very satisfied."

  As he spoke, the man clapped his hands and a group of people came in from outside, carrying several heavy trunks. The men put down the trunks, opened them, and Qiwen saw box after box of dazzling gold jewelry, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat dazed.

  That man smiled and stood up: "Do a good job for the prime minister, don't worry, we won't treat meritorious officials like the Song Dynasty emperors did."

  Qī Wén heard this and immediately knelt down: "I, your humble general, am willing to do anything for Your Majesty, even if it means sacrificing my life!"

  That man laughed and said, "Alright, the king knows your loyalty. But for now, we can't directly serve as officials. Tomorrow morning our troops will arrive. After taking down Wensong, pretend to be a prisoner of war and let us take you back. At that time, tell everyone that Yelü Niegulu died in the city battle from the arrows of the Song army, understand?"

  Qī Wén nodded: "I know, I know."

  Several boxes were immediately carried into the room behind Qiwen, and Qiwen said: "Sir, why not kill that Ninth Prince now? Anyway, after the city is broken, they will all die."

  That person glanced at Qi Wen and suddenly said in a low voice, "General, since we will be working together from now on, I might as well make this clear. We are just carrying out orders, it's best if our hands don't get stained with the blood of the Ninth Prince, after all, he is a member of the royal family."

  Qī Wén suddenly understood and said in a flustered tone: "Thank you, sir, for your guidance, thank you, sir, for your guidance."

  He nodded: "Alright then, have the people from the inn been caught?"

  "We're too late, only those accomplices are left. But don't worry, sir, Wencheng has only one city gate, and the guards at the gate today are all my men, they can't escape."

  That man stood up, chuckled and said: "Whatever you do, don't let that person escape. If the news leaks out before our troops arrive, the Song army will detect it, and not only will this operation be ruined, but also the entire plan to attack the Song Dynasty."

  "Sir, rest assured!"

  The man in black beckoned, and four Liao warriors entered from outside. He said to Qi Wen: "These four people are the four outstanding warriors under the command of Nan Yuan Da Wang, Xiao Yun, Xiao Ying, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Ren. Their martial arts skills are not inferior to those so-called masters of the Han people. Moreover, I have also prepared two hundred elite Liao warriors. If there are not enough people, they can be called upon for assistance."

  Qī Wén burst out laughing: "Thank you, sir! I was worried that someone in the military camp would dare to stop me, but now I can rest assured!"

  The man in black was quite strange: "What? Isn't he the highest commander? Who dares to obstruct him in the military camp?"

  A very complex expression appeared in Qi Wen's eyes, and he said slowly: "My best brother, a person who has saved my life."
