Yelü Nu'er said: "That Yelü Renxian is my uncle, he has always been at odds with my father, so he doesn't want me to take the throne. Hmph, this old man is indeed wise. This time if I return to Yanjing, I will definitely kill Yelü Shuobao and let this old thief taste the pain of losing a son! After that, when I ascend to the throne, I will also exterminate his family!"
At this thought, Yelü Nügun seemed to see Yelü Renxian holding the corpse of Yelü Shubao and crying, as if he saw him kneeling down and begging for his life. A sly smile spread across his face, a sinister one that made it clear he was not a good person.
Just as he was thinking, a feathered arrow suddenly shot over from the side, interrupting Yelü Nügu's thoughts. Chen Yuan hastily stood up: "Run for it, we can talk later if we're still alive!"
So Chen Yuan and his men ran wildly along the south bank of the river, while the horse bandits did not dare to come over and kill them, but instead continuously shot arrows from the north bank. The two groups of people and horses ran westward in parallel along the river.
Chen Yuan wouldn't leave the river too far behind, he had to keep an eye on the other bank, because if he got too far away, those bandits would definitely rush over.
After running for a whole hour, Yelü Niegulu could no longer hold on and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
At this time if Chen Yuan abandoned him, he would be dead for sure.
"Big Wooden Brother looked at Chen Yuan: 'Shopkeeper, what to do?'"
"Bind him on the horseback and take him forward."
Ah Mu Da followed Chen Yuan's words and tied Yelü Niegulu to the horseback frame, Hu Jing's heart was filled with a sense of desolation.
Chen Yuan saw her expression, that hesitant look, and knew she had something to say, but then remembered the agreement between them.
He said immediately: "Even if we abandon him, those people will come to kill us after killing him. Killing him is for the struggle of Liao State's imperial court, and killing us is to silence us."
Hu Jing looked at Chen Yuan: "How did you know what I was thinking?"
Chen Yuan gently pulled her hand: "Of course I know, because I care. If I don't say it out, I'm afraid it will be hard to bear in my heart. We must bring him along, there's no one who can save us on the road ahead, but it's very likely that someone is waiting for him, do you understand?"
Hu Jing nodded and said obediently: "Understood."
Chen Yuan said: "Don't worry, I think carefully before doing anything."
They fled non-stop for a day and night, but still couldn't shake off the enemy who was getting closer and closer. On the second day at dawn, the most worrying thing happened, and finally some comrades could no longer hold on.
It's not the fault of the companions that the road to escape is originally difficult, especially on a road that can't see the end, it will make people feel more exhausted.
But wanting to live on, they had to move forward. Chen Yuan also started walking down the steps, he set a rule that after two hours of walking, everyone could ride for an hour to ensure that his partners retained some physical strength. However, even so, facing the increasingly difficult river path, people couldn't help but feel a sense of despair rising in their hearts.
In the late afternoon, when Chen Yuan and his men were passing through a narrow strip of land by a river, they were attacked by arrows from the bandits on the opposite bank. Although they had been prepared for this, casualties still occurred.
He had thought of suddenly changing direction to confuse the horse bandits, but several plans were unable to be implemented due to the terrain on both sides of the riverbank.
Don't mention those guys, even Chen Yuan himself felt a sense of despair rising from his heart. The further he walked, the more treacherous the road became, but if he didn't walk, it was no different from waiting for death.
Chen Yuanshen was worried and depressed, thinking of Yelü Nüguo who had been tied to a horse's back in the past.
Yelü Niegulu was already in a state of deep coma, with a high fever and muttering some incomprehensible words. If they couldn't find the imperial physician soon, he would really die before becoming the crown prince.
Chen Yuan's troubles mounted; as he looked ahead from dawn, it was just a range of mountains.
This continuous mountain range must be very difficult to walk. The eyes of the people in the line also showed a desperate look. The terrain here no longer allows them to follow the river, but if they let the other party come over, relying on the combat effectiveness of the partners and horsemen, it is impossible to stop those horse bandits.
Pang Xi saw his staring eyes in front, understanding his intention: "Boss, we must think of a way to get out of here. If we enter the mountain range, we may not be able to come out!"
Chen Yuan cracked a whip on the horse's buttocks: "Brother Pang, follow me." Chen Yuan took two deep breaths to relax his nerves. He was afraid of death, and precisely because he feared death, he wanted to think of every possible way to survive.
After ordering everyone to take a temporary rest, he and Pang Xi walked up to a nearby small hill, looking around in all directions.
In front of them was a mountain valley, and the small river beside it ran through the valley. It had already dawned, and Chen Yuan could see the enemy coming from the opposite side, who were not much better off than they were. They stopped, and the calls of the horse bandits could be faintly heard.
Chen Yuan noticed that there were water droplets falling from above, one by one, and they even had a rhythm. The water droplets fell on Chen Yuan's head, not very cold, but with a hint of warmth. Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, looked up, and immediately understood what was happening. He thought to himself, "It seems that Yelü Nuwulu is destined to survive after all."
Of course, on the premise that you can get rid of these bandits, and there are conditions to save him.
Pang Xi pointed to the opposite bank: "They are also very tired, but as soon as we leave the riverbank, they can immediately catch up with us. These people's tracking skills are top-notch, and we can't outrun them."
Chen Yuan had already noticed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Pang, if we make a bamboo raft to enter the river, can they catch up with us?"
Pang Xi's eyes lit up and he said, "Of course we can't catch up, but I think they won't let us build a bamboo raft."
Chen Yuan nodded, "If it's Ma Fei, what would he do if he saw me building a bamboo raft?"
Pang Xi thought for a moment and said, "I will attack on two fronts! On the one hand, I will send people to harass them, and on the other hand, I will also cut down trees to build rafts, so that we can rush over as quickly as possible. If we can arrive first, they will be in a situation where it is difficult for them to fly with their wings clipped."
At this time, the birds in the distant mountains and forests were startled, and they made a series of mournful cries. Chen Yuanshen laughed with confidence: "After being chased by them for a day and night, it's time to vent their anger."
Pang Xi nodded and said, "Yes, as long as we can build a bamboo raft faster than them, they will have no way to stop us."
Chen Yuan chuckled: "Pang brother, you still don't understand what I mean. What I'm saying is that we just need to remind them to build a bamboo raft now. As for us, let's build something to sabotage their bamboo raft."
Pang Xi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood and lightly punched Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, you really have what it takes to be a teacher."
Chen Yuan is this kind of person, very laid-back, his potential must be forced out by the enemy.
After a day and night of fleeing like a dog who has lost its home, especially now that the entire team is in a life-or-death situation, Chen Yuan's strong desire to survive finally ignited his fighting spirit.
