♂?，，

  Yelü Niegulu was obviously accustomed to such scenes, and the burnt smell still stimulated his mouth, but another thing made him more concerned: "Where is Yelü Xubao? Find Yelü Xubao!"

  At the sound of the order, those Liao soldiers began to turn over the corpses on the ground. Some could still be identified, while others had been burned to the point where their bodies were unrecognizable.

  The princess's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and from her expression, it could be seen that she was suppressing something in her heart: "Ninth brother, I saw him come in, but didn't see him go out. It seems he was burned to death."

  Yelü Niegulu seemed unwilling: "Not having personally killed this scoundrel is letting him off easy!"

  Chen Yuan saw a stone and thought of going up to sit and rest for a while. He really had a feeling of dizziness, if at this time there was a bed, it would be great to lie down for a while.

  He sat down on a rock with a fart, and suddenly came a hot feeling, "Ah!" Chen Yuan jumped up at once.

  Everyone's eyes immediately turned to him: "What's wrong?"

  Chen Yuanyi covered his buttocks with one hand and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay."

  "What's wrong with you, shouting for no reason?"

  Chen Yuan waved his hand to apologize to the crowd around him, and looked around, seeing a flat piece of grassland leaning against the hillside, which seemed to have escaped the fire.

  Reached out and touched it, indeed not hot, only then dared to continue with a thud.

  "Ah!"

  Chen Yuan shouted again and jumped up, this time the business was even bigger than before, but everyone no longer had the same reaction as before.

  Pang Xi spread his hands: "Shopkeeper! What's wrong again?"

  Chen Yuan just sat down and felt that something was off under his butt, it was soft and didn't feel like the hardness of the grass.

  He reached out and pulled, and the mud under his buttocks immediately split open, revealing a human head.

  This situation scared him out of his wits.

  That man was still alive, his two eyes pitifully looking at Chen Yuan with a begging expression. When Pang Xi spoke, Chen Yuan's finger was already pointing at the man's face, he originally wanted to tell those Liao soldiers that there was someone here. But the man's eyes moved him, perhaps it was the eyes that touched something in Chen Yuan's heart that he didn't want to face, Chen Yuan finally said: "It's also hot here!"

  Pang Xi waved his hand and stopped paying attention to Chen Yuan. Yelü Ne'er also said, "Brother Chen! Can you please stop being so startled all the time?"

  Chen Yuan nodded, sat down beside the man, and casually picked up a yellow leaf that had fallen from the mountain to cover the man's head. He whispered, "Don't make a sound, wait until everyone leaves before coming out."

  A faint voice came from under the yellow leaves: "Thank you."

  The clearing of the battlefield was soon over, and the bodies were piled up again to be burned. This filled the entire valley once more with that sickening smell, and no one wanted to linger here any longer.

  They took out the wooden rafts made by Chen Yuan and others, and the boats brought by the princess also rowed up from downstream. Everyone set foot on the road to Yanjing again, this time, because no one would chase them anymore.

  Nayelun was carried onto the princess's ship, and Chen Yuan was exceptionally allowed to board this most luxurious ship in the fleet. The Liao soldiers were also very polite to Chen Yuan at this time.

  Soldiers are like this, they forever like and respect those who can keep them alive on the battlefield.

  This ambush was beautifully done, nearly two thousand bandits were killed, eliminating the biggest threat to everyone, and on our side, except for two unlucky Liao soldiers who were shot by the enemy, only a few partners sprained their feet due to excessive excitement during the downhill charge.

  Such a result is enough to make the Liao soldiers respect Chen Yuan. The princess also whispered to Yelü Nügu's side: "Ninth brother, that Chen Shimei is really good, and he really knows how to appreciate people."

  Yelü Niegulu smiled slightly: "It's not enough to just know how to observe people, you also need to know how to use them. To make someone willing to serve me wholeheartedly, I must make him surrender his heart. The problem is, I haven't found a way to do that yet."

  The princess looked at the figure of Chen Yuan and Hu Jing leaning against each other in the cabin, a smile playing on her lips: "What does he want? Fame? Wealth? Women? Or something more lofty, ideals?"

  Yelü Niwulu sneered and said, "I don't know either. But I dare to guarantee that if anyone dares to send him something, there's nothing he wouldn't dare to accept. However, he would absolutely not sell himself for anything."

  The princess's beautiful eyes gazed at Chen Yuan, her eyes were so pure, but her lips lightly said: "If you really have talent and are not willing to be used by me, kill him!"

  Yelü Nügu nodded: "Uh-huh."

  Chen Yuan gently wrapped his arms around Hu Jing's shoulders in the cabin and whispered in her ear, "We're in trouble this time."

  Hu Jing looked at him: "What's so troublesome? The princess has already let him on her ship. He can see it every day, and he must be very happy now?"

  Chen Yuan's mouth twitched: "I'm very unhappy! It was because of her that I got on this boat, which means that if we think about it again, it won't be an easy thing to do."

  "What's wrong?" Hu Jing asked inexplicably.

  Chen Yuan didn't make any further explanations, he knew that all of this was caused by Wen Tong being too outstanding. There was no other way, at the time it was for survival. Just like Yelü Nüwulu when Wen Tong chose to cooperate with the Song army, troubles were indeed annoying, but if one died, there wouldn't even be any troubles, and that would not be annoyance, but sorrow.

  Chen Yuan patted Hu Jing's waist: "This is a pirate ship, it's easy to get on a pirate ship, but hard to get off, shouldn't the female knight have heard this saying before?"

  Hu Jing smiled and said, "I saw that princess running pretty fast when she got on the boat earlier. Why is it a pirate ship now?"

  Chen Yuan sighed: "I don't know what she wants to steal from me, if it's just some things, I can handle it. If they want to steal this person, then trouble the wife to take action and wield a sword to protect her husband!"

  Hu Jing knew he was joking and immediately elbowed him: "Is it worth a lot of money?"

  No more trouble was encountered along the way, and after finding the three thousand cavalry under the princess's command, the problem was finally solved.

  Yelü Nügu's injuries were also recovering, and the group soon entered a city in Liao State. The game of cat and mouse finally came to an end.

  In this game, Yelü Nigulu was undoubtedly the winner. He seemed to be in high spirits. Moreover, his attitude towards Chen Yuan was also extremely conciliatory.

  All the way to Yanjing, nothing unexpected happened again.

  When Chen Yuan and his party arrived at a point ten miles outside the city of Yanjing, they saw the welcoming troops for Yelü Nüguo. Yelü Nüguo stopped her carriage and said to Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, aren't you really going into the city with me?"

  Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head: "They are here to pick up the Ninth Prince, in the next commercial district, I won't go to join that commotion. I'll enter the city to see if I can find Wang Lun, if I find the goods, after making a deal, I will leave quickly."

  Yelü Nügu thought for a moment: "In that case, I won't keep you any longer, Your Majesty. Tonight, I'll be hosting a banquet in the mansion, and I'd like to invite Brother Chen to attend."

  He has entered the city and arrived at his territory, where he also became Xiao Wang. Chen Yuan didn't mind the change in title, but what did this guy want with inviting him to a banquet?

  Yelü Niegulu continued, "Don't worry about the goods, as long as Wang Lun comes to Liao State, I will definitely find him. If he swallows the goods, I will swallow his life!"

  Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said: "That won't happen. If he wanted to swallow my goods at the beginning, he could have let those bandits come in and kill us."

  Yelü Niegulu thought for a moment and nodded: "In that case, Little Wang won't have to go through too much trouble. How about this? If you don't want to enter the city with us, we can wait here for a while. But since Brother Chen is also unfamiliar with Yanjing, I'll send someone to accompany you and help arrange your food and lodging. That way, I can at least fulfill my duties as host."

  Chen Yuan thanked him and said: "In that case, I have troubled you, Ninth Prince."

  Yelü Nügu left two soldiers behind to help Chen Yuan and his party arrange their accommodation within the city of Yanjing.

  When Yelü Nigule returned, he walked into the welcoming troops with a confident smile and rode up on a war horse after getting out of the carriage.

  "Brother Jiu, your injury hasn't healed yet..."

  "It doesn't matter, I just want everyone to know that I'm back, and I'm back safely!"

  The princess heard him say this and no longer tried to persuade him. She rode her horse closely behind him, in case of an emergency.

  Yelü Niegulu turned his head and glanced at Chen Yuan's caravan, but didn't say anything. The princess, however, seemed to understand what he meant, and smiled lightly: "Ninth brother, I still think we've made things a bit too complicated."

  Yelü Niegulu pointed his hand back and forth: "Is he talking about him?"

  The princess nodded: "Yes, let's make it clear to him and say, give him money, give him women, and let him be an official. If he doesn't agree, we'll kill him. I think he will agree."

  "Yeah, he'll definitely agree. But that way, he won't do his best for me, and at the first opportunity, he'll be the first to betray me."

  The princess's eyes sparkled with cunning: "Alright, Ninth Brother, let's make a bet. We'll each use our own methods to see who can tame him."

  Yelü Nügu laughed and immediately became interested: "Haha, great! If I lose, what do you want?"

  The princess smiled and said: "I haven't thought about it yet."

  Behind him, Chen Yuan watched as the Liao people walked further and further away. He turned to the two Liao soldiers and said: "Please lead the way ahead, we will follow behind." As he spoke, he pulled out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the two men: "It's really too much trouble for you two gentlemen, this is just a small token of our appreciation. Please use it to buy some wine to drink."

  The two soldiers were suddenly delighted and walked slowly in front of them after a few polite words.

  Chen Yuan leaned against Pang Xi's side and whispered: "Pang brother, why did Yelü Nu'er invite me to dinner tonight?"

  Pang Xi snorted: "Isn't it a lifesaving favor that people should remember? What's wrong with inviting me to drink now?"

  Chen Yuan slightly shook his head: "No, I always can't get a clear understanding of the situation. Tonight's dinner party, it seems to be a celebration banquet by Liao State's Ye Lu Zhongyuan and his men, what does he mean by inviting me?"

  Pang Xi looked at him and said: "I was wondering why you were being so ambiguous. If you didn't want to go, you could have just said it earlier. If he insisted back then, that means there must be a problem."

  Chen Yuan looked at him with disdain: "So, the difference between me and you is that I often use my brain, so I don't need to use my hands. And that brain is basically dead, so it needs to be exercised every day."

  Pang Xi was somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Master Chen! If I were to take action now, would it be because my hands are powerful or because my head is hard?"
