  Pang Xi didn't say much and ignored others, rushing straight towards that small sedan.

  The remaining guards were shocked, but their coordination was quite tacit. The three of them immediately drew their swords to welcome Pang Xi, while the other two guarded the sedan chair and ran away quickly.

  Pang Xi didn't take these three ordinary guards seriously, and with three punches and two kicks, he knocked the three men to the ground. Two of them had their internal organs shattered and were on the verge of death.

  Just as he was about to chase after Song Qi, a sudden gust of knife wind came from behind.

  Pang Xi dodged and jumped forward. Turning back to look, it was the guard he had knocked down earlier who got up again.

  Pang Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly. If possible, he didn't want to kill this man. This man was named Yang Yi, one of the most trusted bodyguards of Emperor Song Renzong.

  Yang Yi was a mute, and for a mute to become one of Renzong's bodyguards, the most important thing was that Yang Yi had an unusually keen sixth sense. Just like earlier, even if Pang Xi's martial arts were slightly better than his, relying on his unique senses, he could still sniff out danger a step ahead. There were many people like them by Renzong's side.

  These people are loyal and trustworthy, sometimes more so than ordinary people. Like now, Yang Yi knew he was no match for this assassin, yet he still charged forward again.

  Yang Yi's martial arts skills were also exceptional among the guards. Just looking at those three people who couldn't withstand Pang Xi's few moves, he alone could entangle with Pang Xi, which is enough to explain.

  But now facing Pong Xi's fists and Pu Dao, he has fallen into a kind of almost irresistible whirlpool.

  It's like being swept into a maelstrom of turbulent waves in the vast ocean, with an unbearable feeling that's hard to sustain.

  After a moment, he felt his two arms were sore and could not be lifted. Yang Yi knew this was a matter of life and death, so without thinking, the big knife in his hand gathered all his strength, leaning forward on his horse, and stabbed towards Pang Xi at the same time.

  Pang Xi swung his knife and fiercely fought, instantly knocking the knife out of Yang Yi's hand. Yang Yi was also ferocious, without a weapon in his hand, he didn't retreat but instead opened his arms to hug Pang Xi.

  His intention was simply to use his own life to hold Pong Xi, allowing the remaining two people to protect Song Qi and leave immediately. However, Pong Xi was greatly shocked in his heart. He had long heard that these deaf and mute guards were fearless of death, but this was the first time he had experienced it!

  If he really held me in his arms and I couldn't get away, anything could happen. Seeing Yang Yi pounce over, I could only dodge to the side.

  The fight had already startled the pedestrians on the road. With Pong Xi's outfit, plus covering his head and face, it was no wonder he was playing the role of a villain.

  After dodging Yang Yi's pounce, Pang Xi was about to turn around and chase after Song Qi's sedan chair, making an even bigger commotion.

  "Stop right there!"

  Pang Xi turned his head to look, a team of Liao soldiers rushed over from that side. Two of them had already bent their bows and set up arrows, with a sharp and piercing air, whizzing through the air, that bit of cold light approaching from afar!

  Pang Xi hastily flipped over and stood up just in time to swing his hand and knock a flying arrow off course, but several more came shooting over...

  He had to run for his life! Although he didn't achieve the desired effect, Song Qi was indeed stabbed and startled the Liao soldiers. Pang Xi immediately retreated without fighting, throwing his wooden knife forward, then leaping backward and retreating several steps before turning around and running away.

  The Liao soldiers rushed over and first looked at Song Qi, who was already pale in the sedan chair. The leader asked: "Lord Song, are you okay?"

  Song Qi almost peed his pants, seeing Pang Xi's figure disappear, he finally came back to his senses, shaking his head with a forced calm: "It's nothing."

  Behind him, a Liao soldier shouted: "Report, these three Song Dynasty guards are already dead!"

  The captain's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then another Liao soldier suddenly came over with a token-like object: "Report! The enemy has dropped one token."

  The captain took a look and saw that the token had four characters written on it: "Khitan Palace Guard".

  The team leader was suddenly flustered, quietly putting away the token, and secretly thinking to himself: "Could it be that someone from the imperial court wants to kill these Song people?" If that's really the case, then he would have ruined their plan, and his guilt would be immense.

  The captain's face changed immediately, and he said to his subordinates: "Take good care of Mr. Song, don't let him return to the inn for now. I'll go ask Lord Cheng for instructions."

  Pang Xi finished the assassination when the drumbeat of the watchman in the Liao palace finally sounded. Yelü Hanba jumped up from his chair with the sound of the drums: "Well, let's stop here for today."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't even wait for the two people in the house to bid him farewell, and hastily ran out of the room, as if there was something here that made him unwilling to stay any longer.

  Chen Yuan closed his book and looked at Ye Lu Hongji. He was still gazing outside, did the outside really have such a great attraction to him?

  He read books very tiredly. No matter who it is, reading the dry "Analects" without an audience is a very boring thing to do.

  Chen Yuan had long wanted to throw away the book, and now he felt a little sympathetic towards the young prince who was staring blankly at the sky beside him.

  At his age, he is at a time when boys are most mischievous. Chen Yuan thought that if he wanted to see the sky, he should let him go out and take a look.

  Teaching like this today is better off not teaching at all, and learning is also better off not learning at all.

  "Your Highness, is there anything else you want me to do?" Chen Yuan said, standing in front of Yelü Hongji's desk. Yelü Hongji then withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at Chen Yuan, seemingly hesitant.

  Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "My duty is to help solve problems with studies, however, Your Highness, if you have other problems, I can also assist."

  Yelü Hongji's face was expressionless, and he asked in a dull tone: "Just arrived today?"

  Chen Yuan nodded: "Yeah, I was just selected this morning and came here in the afternoon."

  Yelü Hongji nodded after hearing this: "Alright, there's nothing else today. Let's go out and take a walk together."

  It was said that he accompanied him in reading, but Chen Yuan's task was not simply to accompany Yelü Hongji in reading. As long as Yelü Hongji wanted to go somewhere, he had to accompany him.

  Two people had just left the room when Yelü Hongji came to his own bedroom, preparing to change clothes and go out. Suddenly, Chen Yuan saw that Yelü Lüjing had arrived.

  Yelü Lüjing saw Chen Yuan standing at the door and was very curious: "Chen Shimei, what are you doing standing here?"

  Chen Yu slightly bowed: "Please wait, Your Highness. We will help you change your clothes and get ready to go out with you."

  Yelü Lüjing's eyebrows furrowed together: "Has the guard been notified?"

  Chen Yuan was not familiar with the procedures in the palace at all, and he didn't know that he still had to inform the guards. Upon further consideration, it was also understandable, after all, Yelü Hongji was the only son of Emperor Xingzong of Liao, and safety should be the top priority when traveling.

  Chen Yuan immediately said: "I forgot in my previous memorial, I will go find General Manager Liang now."

  Yelü Lüji nodded slightly, just about to say something when the door behind Chen Yuan suddenly opened. Yelü Hongji had already changed into new clothes, but at this moment he spoke up and said: "No need, I don't want to go out."

  Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, as if he had suddenly understood something.

  Yelü Lüjing rebuked with a hint of anger, "Every time it's like this, one moment saying east and the next saying west, when can you make up your own mind?"

  Yelü Hongji lowered his head, and his voice was flat: "Sister, let it go. I won't go out, Chen Shimei can leave too."

  It's obviously not the first time this has happened. In Yelü Lü's view, his indecisive younger brother was always wavering. In Chen Yuan's view, Yelü Hongji's freedom had clearly been strangled more than once before.

  After finishing speaking, Yelü Hongji raised his head and looked at the princess: "Sister, is there anything else?"

  Yelü Lüjing fell silent for a long time: "Hongji, sister is leaving soon, you must take care of yourself in the future and have your own opinions! Do you understand?"

  Yelü Hongji didn't say a word, Yelü Lüjing let out a soft sigh and left on her own.

  Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Your Highness, if you want to go out, why don't you tell the princess clearly?"

  Yelü Hongji was told by Chen Yuan that his thoughts were broken, and he wasn't very surprised: "I've talked to her many times before, she always says I'm still young, including my father the Emperor."

  Chen Yuan glanced around quietly and then said in a low voice, "Your Highness, can you prove to them that I'm not small anymore? Can you tell me what you want to go out for?"

  Yelü Hongji was only fifteen years old, and he felt suffocated by the things in his heart. After being asked by Chen Yuan, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I heard that the Tanguts are extremely ugly, I want to go take a look."

  Chen Yuan's eyes rolled around and he asked again: "For the princess?"

  Yelü Hongji nodded. The princess was going to marry a Tangut person, he knew his sister was very unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it because this was the decision of Emperor Xingzong of Liao.

  The pain in his heart made Yelü Hongji extremely uncomfortable, especially after hearing that the Tangut people were very ugly, he had an impulse to do something, but he didn't know what.

  Chen Yuan fell silent for a moment, then said: "This, if Your Highness wants to go out, I'll take you to meet the Tangut envoy. Don't bring the guards, I'll go discuss with the princess and have her select a few skilled bodyguards for you, change into plain clothes and we'll go together, how's that?"

  Yelü Hongji thought for a moment: "Will sister agree?"

  Chen Yuan felt a little displeased in his heart. This kid was looking down on him. Chen Yuan had always believed that as long as his mouth could still move, there was no one he couldn't persuade.

  He already knew where the problem lay. 21st-century psychologists have said that excessive overindulgence can bring great trauma to a child's body and mind. Yelü Hongji was clearly a child who grew up in this kind of harm.

  Maybe he had resisted before, maybe he also talked back before, but when he found out that nothing worked, just like today, Yelü Chucai said it, and he did it.

  And so he became a man without his own opinions, and became the most foolish person in other people's eyes.

  Chen Yuan thought that things were not too bad, at least Ye Lü was still willing to leave, this child could still express his thoughts in front of him, although it took a lot of effort to guide him.

  If he waits until he is afraid to speak his mind in front of anyone, then he's done for.

  Chen Yuan decided to persuade Yelü Lüjing to allow Yelü Hongji to go out with only a few guards. Not for anything else, but because Yelü Hongji was still a child. No matter whether he would be good or bad in the future, at least he shouldn't be made a useless person at the age of fifteen.
