  Hu Jing walked to the door and turned back to take a look, seeing Chen Yuan sitting in the hall without moving, feeling very disappointed, she slammed the door and went in.

  Bai Yutang sighed: "If there's no chance, what I want most is for Brother Chen to return safely. At that time, I'll take Cha San to find a drink."

  Chen Yuan responded with a perfunctory "uh-huh", but in his heart, he thought it was better if Bai Yutang didn't have any hope at all, because he had no intention of completing the task from the start.

  This errand is more dangerous than the task Lü Yi gave him, and it can only be completed by infiltrating the innermost parts of Liaodong. Chen Yuan would never go to steal a map, the only hypothesis is that if someone handed the map over to him, then there's still another way.

  Chen Yuan lowered his head and drank silently. He just couldn't understand why troubles kept coming one after another when he didn't want to cause any trouble himself?

  Unconsciously, the old wine has been drunk up high.

  When Chen Yuan woke up again, it was already evening. The dim oil lamp on the table emitted a faint light, and Hu Jing fell asleep beside the lamp.

  The sky was a bit cold, she had been wrapped in a blanket on her body, and now it had fallen to the ground.

  Chen Yuan slowly got up, shook his dizzy head, and walked over to gently shake her shoulder.

  Hu Jing immediately woke up and saw Chen Yuan, her first sentence was: "Are you awake?"

  This intimate greeting was obviously her sudden awakening from sleep, and she spoke from the heart. When she remembered Chen Yuan's attitude towards her during the day, her face changed immediately, and she took the teapot and walked out of the door.

  Chen Yuan had already seen clearly that this was Hu Jing's room, and seeing Hu Jing wanting to go out, he immediately shouted: "Where are you going? If you don't want me here, I'll just go back to my own room."

  Hu Jing didn't even turn her head back to look at him, she just raised the teapot in her hand high up: "Pour water for me!"

  Chen Yuan shouted from behind: "Bring another bowl of noodles!"

  Hu Jing's footsteps suddenly stopped for a moment. From her body movements, it seemed like she wanted to turn around and say something, but in the end, she didn't turn back.

  After a moment, Hu Jing pushed open the door again with an iron face. She really held a bowl of noodles in her hand, put the teapot and noodles on the table, and didn't say a word, walking to sit by another bed.

  Chen Yuan indeed felt empty inside his stomach, and this feeling was very uncomfortable. He picked up the noodles and took two mouthfuls, then a mouthful of hot tea went down his throat, and that burning sensation from his heart to his throat finally disappeared.

  Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at Hu Jing who was sitting beside him with a huff, asking softly: "What's wrong? Still angry?"

  Hu Jing glanced at him: "How dare I get angry, it's the boss."

  Chen Yuan gently blew the hot soup and then drank it down, feeling very comfortable. He naturally understood Hu Jing's complaining tone. Chen Yuan thought that now he must make things clear to her and let her know what he could not accept.

  "I'm just a businessman, I and these Jianghu people are different, they can sacrifice their lives for so-called justice, I can't. The greatest ideal of this life is to make my business prosperous, let my wife and children live a peaceful and stable life."

  "Hu Jing hummed: 'If the Great Song is in danger and war breaks out again, how can you live a peaceful life?'"

  Chen Yuan immediately said: "That's not my responsibility, it's the emperor who didn't do a good job, those court officials who didn't govern well, and those generals like Di Qing who didn't protect us! I'm just an ordinary citizen, paying taxes according to the law. After I paid the money, they should let me live in peace!"

  Hu Jing was taken aback, and she also felt that Chen Yuan's words made sense. However, she still asked: "I'm not asking whose responsibility it is, I just want to know how to spend a peaceful New Year."

  Chen Yuan sighed: "I don't know either. At that time, I might have been killed by the chaotic soldiers, or I might have resisted, or I might have surrendered. But one thing I can be sure of is that whatever method will make my family safe, I will use it!"

  Hu Jing sat there and said no more. Chen Yuan finished his bowl of noodles, walked up to her and said: "I know what you're thinking, always insisting on those so-called great principles. But sometimes, it's not necessary to insist on them. Just like today, when those people launched a sneak attack on the city gate, I stopped you from going. What was the result? You put yourself in the most dangerous situation and almost ruined Di Qing's plan. If we really had stopped them, Di Qing would have been forced to fight to the death with the enemy outside the city walls."

  Hu Jing's frozen face finally thawed a bit.

  "Besides, Pang Xi and the others got into trouble because they insisted on staying behind to rescue people! This is what it means to prioritize small righteousness! If we hadn't succeeded at that time, Wen Tong would have been broken through by now! The rear guard of Da Tong wouldn't even know what hit them!"

  Chen Yuan continued, "And! When considering the great righteousness of Gu, think it through carefully. Is this great righteousness worth considering? The border terrain map mentioned by Bai Yutang is a very serious matter in the eyes of the imperial court, but go ask Di Qing, he can definitely recite the mountains and rivers of the hundreds of miles north of Wenshui clearly! This is why after hearing about the map, Di Qing didn't have any reaction at all. The border terrain map has long been stored in the hearts of these diligent generals."

  Hu Jing looked at Chen Yuan: "Is there anything else?"

  Chen Yuan saw her expression and knew she had already taken his words to heart. He didn't continue talking excessively: "Still haven't thought of it."

  "What if we encounter a general who is not doing his job?"

  Chen Yuan smiled: "That's easy to handle. Just like Qi Wen, even if you give him a map, or even a million soldiers and horses, he still can't keep them."

  Hu Jing's tone finally softened: "Anyway, Nian has read a lot of books, I can never outtalk him."

  Chen Yuan heard her tone soften and of course wouldn't insist that she admit her mistake, a man should have magnanimity and elegance when dealing with women.

  "Hey, sis. We've been together for so many days and gone through so much. You should know what kind of person I am by now. From now on, don't make impulsive decisions for me again. Here's a proposal: when we're outside, just focus on keeping me safe and don't interfere with my actions. I want the treasure to bring me peace, not trouble. If you have any good suggestions, tell me when we get back, okay?"

  Hu Jing lightly hit him: "Alright, listen from now on!"

  Chen Yuanshan reached out and grabbed her small hand, Hu Jing's face turned red: "What are you doing!"

  Chen Yuan smiled slyly: "It seems we still have one more agreement that hasn't been fulfilled, forgotten?"

  "What agreement?"

  Chen Yuan shifted his buttocks to sit further back on the bed: "I'll be staying here tonight." As he spoke, his hand reached out to caress Hu Jing's calf, gently stroking it.

  (Click, collect, recommend, support me, and I'll say this: what I write is about Chen Shimei, so naturally the moral character won't be great, but I will stick to the bottom line of morality. Since it's about Chen Shimei, there will definitely be a beautiful case)
