Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's gaze drifted towards Pang Xi. This trip's true mission was only known to the two of them, he hadn't said anything, but what about Pang Xi?
Pang Xi understood Chen Yuan's meaning and nodded slightly.
Chen Yuan's brain was spinning rapidly. Since Pang Xi didn't say anything, if Yelü Niegulu was really on guard, he would also be suspicious of his own performance this time. Thinking about it, Chen Yuan had saved the Four Rats and especially appeared in the military camp to negotiate with Yelü Niegulu, which seemed a bit too much for a merchant.
If it's like this, refusing him yourself will make him believe that his suspicions are true.
Chen Yuan immediately showed a smile and said: "If I can travel with the Ninth Prince, it would be my greatest honor. Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as our convoy arrives safely, your safety will be guaranteed by me."
Yelü Niegulu gave Chen Yuan a deep and piercing look, as if he wanted to find some flaw in him, but Chen Yuan's calm expression made him unable to hold onto his suspicions.
Finally, he rushed to Chen Yuan and smiled: "So, thank you Brother Chen. I have injuries on my body, so I'll find a room to rest first. Whenever Brother Chen leaves, just notify me."
Chen Yuan knew that bringing Yelü Niegulu on this journey might be troublesome, but not bringing him would likely be even more troublesome.
Yelü Nügu just went upstairs, and Yang Wenguang came in from outside.
His expression was very excited, extremely excited!
Although he had also been to the battlefield, those were all with the marshals of Tianbo Prefecture, and except for sweeping away a group of defeated enemy soldiers, there had never been any dangerous or important tasks assigned to him.
This time was different, Di Qing entrusted him with the most important task and handed over the only 500 cavalry of Song Bing to him.
The Liao army only put up a slight resistance before retreating, but due to the small number of Song troops, the battle was much more intense than those that swept away the remaining soldiers.
Especially this time, without those marshals standing behind him, it gave him a kind of unshackled pleasure. After entering the door, he sat down beside Chen Yuan, with that excited smile and said: "Boss, I just picked seventeen Liaodong dogs! Seventeen!"
Chen Yuan also smiled: "Young Master Hou, are you going to stay in Datong as a soldier or return to Bianjing?"
Yang Wenguang shook his head: "I'm done with Liao here, there's no more fighting to be had."
Chen Yuanda was shocked, taking Yelü Nügunu with him would only be a bit of trouble, but taking this old man to Liao Guo would be like bringing a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
Chen Yuan hastily said: "This won't do! Do you know how many people in Liao State want to wipe out the Tianbo Mansion? If your identity is exposed, it will be a big trouble. I can't bear this responsibility. Lord Hou, don't harm me, can't you just go back?"
Yang Wenguang, however, was not worried at all: "What's there to be afraid of those Liao people? Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'll just follow behind the caravan as a small porter, and as long as we don't say anything, no one will know my identity."
Chen Yuan furrowed his brow: "Young Master Hou! You've already gone to the battlefield, what if you're recognized in Liao State? Even if I have the greatest ability to hold off the Liao army, I won't be able to withstand the dragon-headed cane in Old Madam's hand!"
Yang Wenguang had an early explanation: "Don't worry, boss. I was wearing General Di Qing's helmet and mask earlier, so no one can recognize me. Besides, I wrote a letter and entrusted someone to take it back to Bianjing to report my safety."
Chen Yuan patiently advised Yang Wenguang, to be honest, at Yang Wenguang's age, he had already passed the rebellious stage of youth. Chen Yuan estimated that what Yang Wenguang wanted to do was just to prove himself to others, perhaps to prove to someone in the Tianbo House that he could do it.
"Master Xiao, I think it's time to head back now. Of course, if Di Qing can arrange for someone to escort the express report back, that would be even better. No need to say anything, everyone knows that leaving Tianbo Manor is still the best! And being as outstanding as Father and the others, no one can deny that."
Chen Yuan had not finished speaking, when Yang Wenguang continued: "I know, but when I was with the cavalry team, I wanted to go to Liao State. Boss, don't think about abandoning me, I've already spoken with General Di Qing, from the moment I took off that armor and walked out of the military camp, I'm just a partner again. Now I'll go back there, just treat me as a partner, no need to worry about other things."
After finishing speaking, Yang Wenguang went to the back to find those partners and carters, leaving Chen Yuan sitting at the table with a very unsightly expression.
With Yang Wenguang, it's really more troublesome than with Yelü Niegulu! He just can't figure out why trouble always comes to him.
At this time, Bai Yutang's mouth moved twice, but he didn't make a sound. His face seemed to be in a difficult situation. Chen Yuan looked at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
It's already troublesome now, and more trouble has come, Chen Yuan is not afraid of even more.
Bai Yutang felt a bit awkward, and sat down beside Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, I know you only want to do business and didn't want to get involved in trouble, but this time my brother really has no choice, it's for the country and the people."
"Alright, let's just stop here! I'm just a businessman, don't ask me to handle national or public affairs, I won't be of any help."
Chen Yuan poured a cup of wine for Pang Xi and Bai Yutang: "Let's continue drinking."
Bai Yutang raised his wine cup, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Brother Chen, Brother Pang, this matter is really important. No matter what, I'll have to ask the two of you for help."
Chen Yuan didn't say anything and didn't lift his head. Pang Xi saw Chen Yuan not speaking and also tightly closed his mouth.
Bai Yutang said to himself, "The map that Yelü Nieroulu sent away is related to the safety of our Great Song Dynasty's borders. As an imperial guard, it's not convenient for me to chase after him into Liao country. I'd like to ask you two for help, if there's a chance when you arrive in Liao country, please steal back that map."
Chen Yuan's mouth twitched: "You really think I'm a 007!"
Bai Yutang was taken aback: "What did Brother Chen say? What is zero-zero-seven?"
Chen Yuan raised his head: "Nothing. Alright, since Yutang has spoken up, I'll do my best, but don't have too high of hopes."
Bai Yutang looked at Chen Yuan's expression and knew that this sentence was just perfunctory. Hu Jing, on the other hand, said to Chen Yuan at this time: "Don't worry, White Fifth Master, once we arrive in Yanjing, we will definitely find a way to steal back the map..."
Chen Yuan was furious. He had already known what kind of help Bai Yutang wanted him to do, and it wasn't just trouble or big trouble, but a life-threatening task!
So he was extremely disgusted with Hu Jing's chatter, and before she finished speaking, he slammed the wine cup on the table: "How can you say that everything has a reason? Come and be the boss?"
The voice was very loud and everyone in the house heard it. Hu Jing's face suddenly looked a bit embarrassed, her mouth twitching as if she was extremely angry.
Chen Yuan continued: "How many times have I said it, don't make trouble! Bringing you out is to keep me safe, not to cause trouble. What are you looking at? Go upstairs."
Hu Jing suddenly stood up, stared at Chen Yuan for a moment, and then turned around and walked into the room.
Chen Yuan didn't bother with her again. When it comes to women, they need to be pampered and spoiled, but there must be a bottom line. Chen Yuan's bottom line was that she could control him, but not what he did. This time, Hu Jing had clearly crossed the line.
