  The buddies were laughing loudly, and the gloom of the past two days was swept away from everyone's face. Chen Yuan could see that they were just as happy as he was.

  Pang Xi's arms were bare again, he was like this every time he fought. The white scars on his body were left by the opponent's swords and guns.

  Chen Yuan did not envy him, because he now knew that this copper skin was exchanged for a lifetime of not touching women. This price he could not accept no matter what.

  Pang Xi was very pleased: "Boss, we caught two live ones. From their mouths, we got the news."

  "Stop selling mysteries and speak quickly!"

  Pang Xi said: "These people are just one of the horse bandits bought by Ye Lushubao, they found that we were few in number and wanted to take credit for themselves. So they didn't contact other horse bandits."

  Chen Yuan scratched his head, and this message conveyed two pieces of information. First, they had been quiet for the past few days, and it would take at least two days for the other side to contact other bandits and come back. Second, after two days, the number of enemies that came would absolutely be more than today.

  Chen Yuan wanted to make sense of these things, and immediately said to Pang Xi: "Clear the battlefield, those knives, guns, especially bows and arrows left by the horse bandits must be collected. Also, let that young master Hou not use guns anymore, give him a knife!"

  Pang Xi nodded: "Alright, hand it over to me, what's next?"

  Chen Yuan hadn't responded yet when Hu Jing suddenly sprinted over from the side, stopping beside Chen Yuan and saying softly: "Brother Chen, you're amazing!"

  This is the woman who was pushed down. In fact, except for Chen Yuan thinking of a strategy and setting up several catapults, everything else in the battle was Yang Wenguang's credit, but Hu Jing attributed all this to Chen Yuan.

  Chen Yuan certainly wouldn't deny it, looking at Yang Wenguang coming over, Chen Yuan patted his shoulder: "Xiao Wen, thank you!"

  Yang Wenguang smiled and said: "I should thank the boss for giving me this opportunity. By the way, boss, won't our enemies be coming?"

  Chen Yuan looked up at the starry sky and said with a smile, "It's strange to say, but just now in my eyes were dark clouds, now it looks like another magnificent sight. They suffered heavy losses this time, while we are in high spirits. Now let's go up the mountain, rest for a while, and then hunt some food to eat our fill. If they dare to come back again, we'll teach them another lesson at the mountain pass. But I think they won't come back now, probably eight or nine of them will return to report to their master. Everyone take good care of yourselves for half a day, the road ahead may be even more difficult."

  The comrades next to him were all stunned, and they couldn't believe that after such a big victory, the other side still refused to give up.

  He clenched his fists and rubbed his palms, for he had been fed up with anger these past few days. Just as Chen Yuan said, they had just won a battle and were still in the excitement stage of thinking they were the best under heaven. Suddenly, they actually hoped that their enemies would catch up to them.

  It's dark and can't climb mountains, Chen Yuan arranged a guard after letting everyone rest here.

  Chen Yuan and Hu Jing sat comfortably leaning against a pile of rocks, their shoulders touching, and couldn't help but feel a sweet sense of camaraderie.

  Chen Yuan saw Hu Jing's eyes shining brightly and asked: "My heroine, what are you thinking about?"

  Hu Jing leaned her head on his shoulder and said coquettishly: "I'm thinking of what to say."

  "What sentence?"

  Hu Jing looked at him: "That sentence makes a lot of sense."

  "Every word I said makes perfect sense, but which one is the female knight thinking of?"

  "Hu Jing smiled and said: "I won't tell! But I'll ask you a question, if I had been taken away by Chai Yang that time and never came back, would you have looked for me?"

  Chen Yuanyi clapped his hands: "Then I'm in trouble, it's a female knight, I think even if I want to find her, I won't be able to. If my guess is correct, I will regret not being by her side for the rest of my life, and I might even consider killing myself."

  "Hu Jing smiled and said: 'I won't! Don't coax me anymore.'"

  Chen Yuan smiled and said: "What I said is all from the bottom of my heart, do you want me to dig out my heart for you to see?"

  Hu Jing swiftly drew out her treasured sword and handed it in front of Chen Yuan, saying: "Alright, take it out."

  Chen Yuan was suddenly speechless, looking at her: "You can't be serious about playing for real?"

  Hu Jing didn't say a word, she just poked Chen Yuan with the hilt of her sword. Chen Yuan reached out and took the treasured sword: "It's fine, there's no problem, but put this sword away first, I'll go pee first."

  As she spoke, Chen Yuan rushed to the side and left, Hu Jing's face suddenly smiled, then sighed, looking at Chen Yuan's figure disappearing into the night, couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked in a low voice: "Why do I like him?"

  A voice behind her said: "Yes, as I once said, whoever can help me avenge will be the one I marry, regardless of character, age or appearance."

  Hu Jing suddenly turned around and saw Pang Xi squatting on a rock behind her. When he saw her looking over, he smiled and said: "Let's not talk about Chen Shi Mei's character for now, but at this age and with these looks, they are quite a match. The only thing is that the possibility of avenging him is almost zero. Actually, I think following him is not bad, it's much better than running around to find someone to kill the Taishi."

  Hu Jing said coldly: "Even if Chen's character is bad, it seems much better than yours."

  Pang Xi nodded: "Yes, I admit it, I'm a bad guy. However, Bi Tao young lady, the ones with the worst character are not me, but those people like Han Qi. They don't have the ability to bring down Tai Shi at all, they're just using him."

  Hu Jing's mouth curled up in a cold smile: "Pang Laozei's days are numbered, he has already lost his power, and the day of his beheading is not far off."

  Pang Xi sighed: "Some things, really don't know. Can go ask Brother Chen, forget it, better not ask him. I'll tell you one thing, after the first exposure of his tracks in Kui Zhou, Tai Shifu gave an order to kill him no matter what. Do you know why I didn't take action?"

  Hu Jing sneered at Pang Xi: "Don't pretend to be a good person here. At that time, you didn't kill me because you couldn't find me."

  Pang Xi immediately responded: "At that time, I was hiding in the Yue Lai Inn. When I woke up, Bai Yutang was fighting on the roof. At that time, I was already inside the inn and had prepared to take action."

  "Hu Jing was taken aback for a moment: 'Then why did you let me go?'"

  Pang Xi laughed and said, "It's not that I want to let him off, it's Zhan Zhao who forced me to let him off. This is why our Tai Shifu has so many people, and later we had to ask Yelu Niegulu to kill him, because we didn't want to offend Kaifeng Fu."

  Hu Jing was speechless, and her whole body seemed to be stunned.

  Pang Xi whispered in her ear, "Don't think it's Han Qi and the others who are helping, those people can't do anything! If it wasn't for Lord Bao, I would have died a hundred times already! Burning incense to worship the wrong Buddha, I'm really convinced."

  "This is said with conviction, but Hu Jing suddenly asked: 'What makes you believe what he says?'"

  Pang Xi chuckled: "You'll understand when you get back, Chai Yang is about to be unlucky. I guarantee that even Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu won't be able to save him! It's not that they don't want to save him, it's just that they can't. Not even with the Dan Book Iron Volume would it be possible!"

  Pang Xi finished speaking and slowly turned around: "The Taishi is giving face to Lord Bao, not that we are really afraid of the Kaifeng Prefecture. If this continues, things will get out of hand."

  Pang Xi left, and Hu Jing leaned against the stone alone, as if she had suddenly lost all her strength. She didn't believe Pang Xi's words, but each of his words could withstand scrutiny.

  Just as they were in a daze, Chen Yuan ran back from afar and saw that Hu Jing's face was not right. He immediately asked: "What's wrong? Won't it be because I didn't take my heart out to get angry?"

  Hu Jing forced a faint smile: "It's nothing, I'm just a bit tired."

  Chen Yuan didn't suspect anything: "Oh, go sleep in the tent then. I still need to find Xiao Wen for something."

  "Hmm, go to bed early too."

  When Chen Yuan found Yang Wenguang, Yang Wenguang was also planning to find Chen Yuan.

  Two people found a relatively quiet place, Yang Wenguang asked first: "Boss, really want to fight again here?"

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "It's not that I'm preparing to fight, but if the enemy comes after us, we must fight. Yelü Negan's situation is also critical, and if he doesn't receive treatment for his injuries, he will die. If he dies, we won't be able to escape from Liao country."

  Yang Wenguang nodded: "That's right, those who are after him won't let us off the hook, they'll definitely silence us. If there are people looking for him, they won't let us off either, because he died here with us."

  Chen Yuan let out a soft sigh: "I'm glad you understand. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a hot spring on this mountain. The warm water of the hot spring has absorbed the heat from the volcanic rocks and contains a lot of minerals! It's said to have miraculous healing effects, so we should go try it out."

  "What is a dead volcano and mineral deposits?"

  Chen Yuan knew he had misspoken again, and immediately said: "Let's talk about it later, the top priority now is to discuss how to welcome the next battle. Young Master, if you were leading the army, what would you do after arriving at this riverbank?"

  Yang Wenguang immediately said: "We either drift along the river or hide in the mountains. If I were to lead the army, I would definitely search the mountain first to see if there are any signs of people going up."

  "So, let's set another trap for them just like before."

  Yang Wenguang was shocked: "Shopkeeper, this time using a trebuchet won't work again!"

  Chen Yuan nodded: "I know, this time we rely on the mountain range to set up, and specifically look at it. The enemy may not come, but we must make good preparations, from this riverbank to the top of the mountain, all need to be set with traps."

  At dawn, Yang Wenguang set up a new battlefield below, while Chen Yuan let Pang Xi carry Yelü Nierong on his back and follow the direction of the dripping water to find the warm spring.

  It's also considered a big deal for Yelü Nügu to be found by Chen Yuan and others in less than two hours. After putting Yelü Nügu into the hot spring, Pang Xi dug up some medicinal herbs to treat injuries and placed them beside Yelü Nügu. By afternoon, the fever had indeed subsided. By evening, Yelü Nügu woke up from his coma.

  Although it was only a brief moment of clarity, it was enough to get Chen excited again, and he had saved another life! Including Hu Jing, this was the second person he had saved.

  Going back to open a clinic should be fine, right? The man was sent to soak in the hot spring, and the woman gave her artificial respiration herself.

  When Yelü Nigulu woke up, the words he said were enough to prove that he was really awake. At that time, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan and Pang Xi, smiled bitterly and said: "I really didn't expect you two to save me."
