Chapter 126: A Place for Leisure

  ♂?,,

  "What? Impossible! Absolutely impossible, he is the Emperor's only son, and although the Emperor has already lost hope in him, if anything were to happen to him, Chen Shimei would not be able to bear that responsibility!"

  Yelü Lüjing listened to Chen Yuan's words and it was as if he had heard something terrifying, refusing without hesitation.

  Chen Yuan did not give up because of her refusal, he was not Yelü Hongji, he knew how to strive: "Princess, you refused so bluntly, don't you even want to listen to a reason?"

  Yelü Lü frowned: "No matter what reason, it's not allowed. I don't know how much pressure my father has been under during this period of time. What I can do now is not to add any more trouble for him, especially from Hongji."

  Chen Yuan sighed deeply: "You are all too selfish."

  Yelü Lüjing was stunned by what he had just heard, and Chen Yuan continued: "We're all thinking of ourselves, afraid that the prince will bring us trouble. Under the banner of being good for him, we lock him up in this high wall. We say he's worse than other children of his age, but what are those children doing now? What is he doing?"

  Yelü Lüjing flew into a rage: "How dare you! How dare you speak to me like that?"

  Chen Yuan was fearless: "I'm telling the truth! I'd like to ask the princess, what was the ninth prince doing at the age of 15?"

  Yelü Lülang thought for a moment, and his heart was moved by what he had been told. Now they all said that Yelü Nügu was the hope of the Khitan people's future, because at the age of fifteen, Yelü Nügu had already gone to battle with his father.

  Seeing her expression slightly alleviated, Chen Yuan immediately changed the subject and said in a very gentle tone: "Actually, the prince doesn't want to go out and run around wildly. He heard that he is going to marry Li Yuanchao, so he wants to take a look at what kind of people the Tanguts are. Princess, what's on his mind isn't the outside world, but his future life. Alright, everything will be decided by you, princess. I'll take my leave first."

  Chen Yuan finished speaking and turned around to leave Yelü Lü's room. After going out, he closed the door behind him with a backhand, but did not leave.

  "Five, four, three, two, one. Open the door!"

  As the last little thumb was put away, the door behind him really opened with a creak.

  Yelü Lüjing saw Chen Yuan's back and was slightly surprised, then said: "Go and get Hong Ji ready, I'll bring four people to accompany him."

  Chen Yuan bowed his head and clasped his fists: "Yes, Your Highness is wise."

  "But in his heart he thought: 'Is he going to scold me a couple of sentences now?'"

  As expected, Yelü Lüjie's face was very unpleasant: "Chen Shimei, I hope you remember that your identity is just a companion reader. In the future, don't interfere with things that shouldn't be interfered with!"

  Chen Yuan bowed his head and replied: "Yes."

  But in her heart, she was exceptionally pleased. It's said that a woman's thoughts are hard to guess, but she had actually guessed correctly several times in a row, which made this matter somewhat serious. This directly related to whether Ye Lusheng could marry Li Yuanhao as a virgin.

  Princess! This identity can evoke Chen Yuan's desire for conquest even more than Hu Jing's female knight, let alone she is not the princess of the Song Dynasty, so Chen Yuan doesn't have to associate with Bao Zheng's guillotine.

  As he watched Yelü Lüzhen turn around and leave to prepare for the journey, her figure, although not as soft and beautiful as that of a southern woman, had a unique charm with her tall and straight body, making Chen Yuan swallow a mouthful of saliva.

  Yelü Hongji was overjoyed upon receiving the news and quickly prepared his attire. According to Chen Yuan's idea, he just needed to disguise himself as a rich young master.

  When Yelü Lüzhen came to find them, Chen Yuan discovered that the princess had actually changed into men's clothing and even stuck two small mustaches at the corners of her mouth, looking a bit comical. This disguise was not very clever, at least Chen Yuan could see at a glance that she was a woman.

  After leaving the imperial palace, the four guards immediately divided into two teams in front and behind. The princess and Yelü Hongji walked side by side in the middle, talking and laughing softly.

  Chen Yuan followed behind the two of them. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, from Yelü Hongji's expression, he could tell that he was very happy.

  It was unexpected that before arriving at the "first house", those Tangut people were seen, these Tangut people were being escorted by a group of Liao soldiers, although they did not have any criminal equipment on them, but from their facial expressions Chen Yuan could guess that Pang Xi's assassination must have been successful.

  The token left by Pang Xi was unique to the Imperial Guards of the Great Liao Palace. The Pu knife was also a weapon used by many people. When the captain reported these circumstances to his superior, the superior suddenly became furious!

  As the official in charge of security in Yanjing, if those guards had any secret actions, someone would have informed him. Since he didn't know, there was only one possibility - this Liao country guard's identity was fake!

  Who would impersonate a Liao guard to assassinate a Song envoy? Now the suspect is obvious!

  The city guard reacted quite quickly and first sent soldiers to the "first house" to ask these Tanguts to move to a safer place, in case they made any new moves.

  He then immediately reported the whole thing to Liao Xingzong and asked for further instructions.

  The princess looked puzzled and pulled a Liao soldier: "Excuse me, sir, what's going on here?"

  The soldier glanced at her and waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, which family's chick is also coming out to pretend to be a man? Don't delay official business, or I'll catch you all together."

  Everyone around burst out laughing at what was said, Yelü Chucai felt both angry and embarrassed, yet he couldn't help but laugh too.

  Chen Yuan found it amusing in her heart, she always said that Yelü Hongji couldn't go out and let the soldiers tease him for once.

  But that's too much. After the soldier finished laughing, Chen Yuan quietly took a step forward and grasped his hand: "Officer, you've worked hard."

  The soldier was originally even surprised, but in an instant he had a smile all over his face: "What's that, what's that, is there something?"

  Chen Yuan smiled humbly and pointed at Yelü Lüzhen: "That's my family's young lady, she doesn't understand the rules, I hope General won't make things difficult for her."

  The soldier nodded: "Nothing, I was just kidding. By the way, are you trying to ask about these people?"

  Chen Yuan smiled and bowed: "If it's convenient, I hope General Jun will reveal a thing or two."

  The soldier shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know either. Anyway, the Song Dynasty's delegation was assassinated just now, three people died, and these Tanguts are the most suspicious. Don't ask anything else, even if you ask me, I won't know."

  Chen Yuan shook hands with the soldier again: "Thank you, sir. Please come and have tea with me when you're free."

  The whole process left Yelü stunned, she couldn't understand how the soldier's attitude changed so drastically, even though she had asked her questions politely.

  After a group of people were taken away, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Chen Shimei, do you know this person?"

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know him."

  Yelü Lüjing didn't believe it at all: "Impossible, I don't know him, how can I ask what he says?"

  Chen Yuan suddenly grasped Yelü Hongji's hand: "General, you've worked hard, you've worked hard."

  Yelü Hongji burst out laughing and flipped his palm upwards, revealing a handful of copper coins. Yelü Lüjing also smiled with a hint of amusement.

  This was the first time Chen Yuan had seen Yelü Hongji laugh heartily.

  Yelü Lüjing smiled and then looked a bit despondent: "The Tanguts also saw it just now, they were taken away. Why don't we go back too?"

  Yelü Hongji didn't say a word, but Chen Yuan spoke up for him: "Princess, since we're already out, why don't we take a stroll around the market? I've heard that the night markets in Yanjing are quite good too. I'll treat you to some street food and let's go try some of these local snacks tonight."

  Yelü Lüjing was about to refuse, but caught a glimpse of Yelü Hongji's eyes revealing a pleading expression, and hesitated for a moment: "Well, okay."

  Four guards were still following in front and behind, the three of them walking in the middle. Yelü Lüjing didn't let him go to the back again: "Chen Shimei, the night market in Yanjing is not as lively as Bianjing, right?"

  Chen Yuan chuckled: "The princess asked the wrong person, I just arrived here a few days ago and haven't had time to take a stroll around. I was still hoping to follow you guys from behind."

  The princess was stunned for a moment, and immediately summoned a guard in front of her, asking in a low voice: "Xiao Shuaiwei, where do you usually spend your evenings when you're not on duty?"

  The guard was stunned for a moment. Chen Yuan immediately understood that the place where this guy had fun must not be a good place, and it might not be suitable for women, so he didn't dare to say now.

  Yelü Lüjing asked again: "Speak!"

  The guard was quick-witted and immediately said: "Replying to the princess, when I'm not on duty, I usually practice martial arts and don't have any place for leisure."

  Yelü Lüjing was very satisfied: "Hmph, good, when I return, I will definitely reward you."

  The guard surnamed Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and the princess let him withdraw. She then called another one in and asked the same question.

  The second guard hesitated, they often hung out together, from the expression of that Xiao guard earlier he could tell that he must have received a reward, only, how did he answer exactly?

  He thought of this and couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, hoping that the one surnamed Xiao would give him some hints. However, the one surnamed Xiao was diligently watching the pedestrians walking on the road with a vigilant expression, completely ignoring the signal he sent over.

  Chen Yuan saw the guard's embarrassment and also knew that the princess would not give up if she didn't ask, so he quietly flashed behind the princess, one hand making a gesture of holding chopsticks to eat, and the other hand in a bowl-holding pose.

  The guard's face lit up with a smile as soon as he saw him: "Oh, ordinary people usually spend some time at 'Leisure Comes'."

  He said, looking at Chen Yuan, and quietly made a thank-you gesture. Chen Yuan saw that he understood, and also smiled slightly.

  Yelü Lüjing said with a smile: "Alright, let's go to 'Welfare Comes'."

  "Big buy big open, small buy small open! One point opens, there's killing and compensation! Let go!" After a loud shout, Chen Yuan saw that the strong man was holding a bowl in one hand and a color in the other, shaking it back and forth before throwing it into the bowl, exactly the same as his own action just now!

  Chen Yuan was extremely depressed in his heart. Was it that his own expression ability was too poor, or was the imagination of that guard too rich?
