  The anger of the masses is difficult to violate, and if you don't leave, it's over.

  Wang Lun said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'll transport the goods to Yanjing myself. As it happens, I'm also going there. I'll wait for a month in Yanjing, and if I can come back alive, these goods will still be yours. But none of us in this line of work can stay behind."

  Chen Yuan felt a pang of distress in his heart. Yelü Nügu was brought here by himself, and Yelü Shuobao was also released by himself. Now that Yelü Shuobao wants to kill Yelü Nügu here, it seems only right that he should be implicated as well.

  This trouble is self-inflicted, Chen Yuan originally thought that it would only appear when he arrived in Yanjing, but unexpectedly, it happened so quickly.

  Although they had only met the day before, Wang Lun did enough to make Chen Yuan feel that he couldn't say anything more. So, all his frustration was vented on Yelü Nüguo. He glared at Yelü Nüguo fiercely, then called over Hu Jing, A Mu Da, and Pang Xi, and hastily handed the goods over to Wang Lun.

  Wang Lun saw that he was willing to leave and immediately shouted: "Someone, bring some horses to send to Manager Chen! Everyone, take care on the road."

  The fellow travelers and grooms of this merchant group were all somewhat panicked, they didn't understand why so many merchant groups could stay behind, but they had to leave.

  Chen Yuan didn't have time to explain, mounted his horse and galloped towards the small river. His companions were reluctant to get in the water, but under the urging of other merchant teams' members, they had no choice.

  The cavalry didn't have enough horses for everyone, so those who could swim had to wade across. Fortunately, the river wasn't very deep, and Chen Yuan organized everyone to hold hands and help each other, taking care of those who couldn't swim, and struggled to wade to the opposite bank.

  Wang Lun was indeed a man of his word. Just as Chen Yuan's troops had reached the middle of the river, the pursuing soldiers behind them had already caught up.

  When the shout came, Chen Yuan and his men were in the deepest part of the river, where a person standing could be submerged up to their head, and a horse would choke if it lowered its head. The companions could still hold their breath and wade through this section, but the horses refused to take another step forward in the middle of the river.

  This made Chen Yuan very anxious, without a horse, even if he escaped to the other side of the river, he would still be unable to evade his pursuers.

  "At a critical moment, Yelü Niedu said: 'Let people ride on horseback, bow their heads and hug the neck of the saddle horse, and they will be willing to move forward.'"

  Everyone tried it and indeed, the war horse continued to run forward.

  After crossing the river, Chen Yuan ignored the exhausted feeling in his body, identified the direction, and pointed west with his hand: "We'll follow the river!"

  "After finishing, he took two deep breaths and shook off the water on his body: 'Brothers, today is this boss's fault, but now we have no other way except to move forward! Don't worry, I will definitely take you safely to Liao Guo, and at that time, I will double your wages!'"

  This remark did nothing to assuage the resentment of his comrades, but no one said anything more. What everyone could now see with their own eyes was that a pursuing army was closing in from behind.

  "The more critical the situation, the faster Chen Yuan's mind turned: 'Form an array on the spot!'"

  Pang Xi was greatly shocked, this command was too unexpected for him, he never thought that Chen Yuan would have the courage to form an array on the spot in the face of a ferocious bandit.

  "That's a great idea! If they dare to come over, we'll give them a surprise attack! Brother Chen, I'm really impressed by your cleverness."

  Pang Xi immediately understood and quickly directed the more than 200 people to form a battle line by the river. The horse thieves, seeing this situation, really didn't dare come over. Some of the horse thieves in the middle of the river retreated back, standing off against Chen Yuan and the others on the opposite bank.

  Chen Yuan let out a long sigh, and finally managed to intimidate the other party for the time being. After temporarily calming down, Chen Yuan turned his head and suddenly smiled slyly: "Ninth Prince, let me whip you twice?"

  Yelü Niegulu hadn't reacted yet, when Chen Yuan's whip had already come down. Yelü Niegulu loudly cried out in pain: "Ah! Why are you whipping people?"

  Chen Yuan said fiercely: "Rob people? I'll tell you, I'm so angry I could kill! Why must you travel with my merchant group? Hmph!"

  Another lash struck Yelü Nigulu's body, and he felt as if all the wounds on his body were throbbing with pain. Enraged, he shouted: "Enough! If you strike me again, I'll fight back!"

  This remark was quite effective. Chen Yu really feared that he would still counterattack, although he was seriously injured, but if he fought with his life, he wouldn't be a match for him.

  Chen Yuan was stunned when he suddenly felt someone snatch the whip from his hand, and then heard a loud crack: "Slap!" This one hit even harder, knocking Yelü Niegulu to the ground.

  Turning his head, Hu Jing didn't know when he stood beside him and took the blow for him. Hu Jing asked gently: "Do you want to hit him again? If you still want to hit him, I'll do it!"

  Chen Yuan found that after the woman was pushed down, she was different from before, and couldn't help but praise: "Having seen her fight several times, this time she's the most handsome!"

  Yelü Niwulu immediately retracted his gaze, which had been fixed on Chen Yuan and the others: "I'm begging you, can't we just stop fighting? Things have already come to this point. I admit that at first, I was suspicious of the purpose of going to Liao State. Now I understand, and I believe it's all about business!"

  Chen Yuan now felt that having a female knight by his side was quite beneficial. With Hu Jing standing beside him, he could at least bully these heavily injured masters a bit. His tone suddenly became arrogant: "9th Prince, you must explain clearly, why did Ye Lu Shu Bao want to kill us so badly? Even if we were being pursued, at the very least we should know why we're being pursued!"

  Yelü Nugetu nodded: "Alright, because my imperial uncle said so, oh, that is to say the current Emperor of Liao said so, this time I return, I will find an opportunity to establish me as the crown prince."

  Chen Yuan and others were shocked at the same time, they originally knew that this was a court struggle in Liao State, it was a whirlpool, but they didn't expect that this whirlpool would be so big.

  Chen Yuan looked at Pang Xi, and Pang Xi seemed to be skeptical as well: "Are you kidding? Our emperor has his own son, why would he make him the crown prince?"

  Yelü Nuwulu said, "You all don't know that my brother is naturally timid, which greatly disappointed our uncle. Now the whole Liao imperial court knows that my brother doesn't even dare to kill a sheep. Our uncle once told my father that after he dies, he would let my father take over. In recent years, he has indeed been slowly giving some very important positions to my father. This time, when our uncle sent me to the Song Dynasty to get the map, it was an opportunity for me to increase my prestige. After returning, I will be directly appointed as the crown prince, sending a signal to the imperial court to see how those ministers react."

  Chen Yuan suddenly fell silent. Based on his knowledge of this era, the current emperor of Liao should be Emperor Xingzong of Liao, but whether Emperor Daozong of Liao, who later succeeded Emperor Xingzong, was Emperor Xingzong's son or nephew he did not know!

  But there is one thing that makes him feel very accomplished now, if Yelü Nigulu really is the future Emperor of Liao, then didn't he just scolded the Emperor of Liao?

  Although it is called a barbarian state emperor, but still very proud in his heart.

  Historically, Liao Daozong was a sinister, cunning and cruel person, probably similar to Yelü Nueru's character.
