♂?，，

  Chen Yuan's hand casually wrapped around her shoulder: "How could there be anyone?"

  Yelü Lüjing said in a soft voice: "Let's go and take a look."

  Two people crouched down and walked forward cautiously, after a few steps, they indeed heard the sound of people talking. Turning another corner, they saw that in front of them was an extremely large and spacious cave, with torches inserted around it, inside were rows and rows of people! There were several hundred at least.

  The two were shocked and simultaneously withdrew their heads, Chen Yuan immediately reacted: "Jurchen people!"

  Yelü Lü nodded: "It should be their fault, Ninth Brother has been searching for so many days, didn't expect them to hide in this place."

  Then she suddenly asked: "Are you very scared?"

  Chen Yuande was really scared, but he didn't want to say it out loud, so he said with a tough tone: "What a joke, what am I afraid of?"

  Yelü Lüojin nodded and said, "Alright then, don't put your hands on my shoulders to shake."

  Chen Yuan only then discovered that his hand, which had gone to eat tofu, was unknowingly tightly grasping Yelü Muzhen's shoulder and slightly trembling.

  He busied himself brushing off the dust on his clothes: "I just wanted to help get rid of the dust."

  Yelü Lüjing didn't say a word, her eyes scanning the group of women and children below. There were elderly people, kids, and many injured individuals among them. These people must be the targets that the Liao soldiers had been searching for!

  Yelü Lü felt Chen Yuan pat his shoulder, but he didn't turn around. He let out a cold laugh and said, "They really know how to hide. If we hadn't accidentally come here today, we would have never found them."

  His shoulder was patted again by Chen Yuan, and Yelü Lüjing was somewhat annoyed: "I say a big man, can't you be braver? Later we'll sneak back and call the soldiers to eliminate them!"

  Chen Yuan didn't pat her shoulder this time, but just said: "What are you talking about! We don't know those Liao soldiers outside, why bother to help them? Besides, look at these heroes inside, which one is not wise and powerful, just one glance and you can tell they're the rare strong men in the world. Even if those Liao soldiers really came, they would only be defeated by these heroes!"

  Yelü Lüjing suddenly turned around: "Chen Shimei!"

  He turned his head around and only then did he discover that Chen Shimei's neck was supported by an iron fork, while several burly Jurchen women stood beside him, staring at him coldly.

  Yelü Lü was stunned, Chen Yuanqiang smiled and said: "Hehe, everyone, we are just passing by here, looking for something to eat, and accidentally broke in. We hope you can spare our lives."

  The man holding the pitchfork behind him said: "It's been snowing for several days, and you're passing by unintentionally? Are you kidding me!"

  He finished with one foot kicking Chen Yuan's butt: "Get in!"

  Yelü Lüjing wanted to draw her sword, but several iron forks and wooden spears were immediately pointed at her. The leader of the Jurchen people stepped forward, took away the dagger from Yelü Lüjing's waist, and gave her a hard push: "Go in!"

  Two people were pushed forward, and the Liao army uniform under the firelight fully explained their identities. The Jurchen women in the cave immediately became emotionally agitated, each holding weapons and rushing towards them. Just as Chen Yuan and Yelü Chucai were about to be beaten to death, a loud voice like a bell suddenly shouted: "Halt! Is there no discipline?"

  Those Jurchen women immediately stopped halfway, Chen Yuan opened his eyes to find that the nearest wooden gun was already pressed against his heart.

  A stately Jurchen woman with bare shoulders pushed through the crowd and came before them, first looking at Chen Yuan, then at Yelü Lüjie, suddenly smiled and softly asked: "Liao people?"

  Yelü Lüjing's face was set in a determined expression, but Chen Yuan hastily said: "We are Song people!"

  As soon as the voice fell, someone next to him shouted: "Don't believe him, this man is not honest, he's still wearing a Liao army uniform!"

  Chen Yuan was really depressed, thinking that he had been too careless. He came out to travel, how could he forget to change his clothes?

  Wuta barked: "Do you want to die or live?"

  "Want to live, want to live!"

  Yelü Lüjing glared at Chen Yuan: "Can't you show some backbone? Will they let us live?"

  Chen Yuan knew that living was not easy, but he just did so, as long as there was a little chance, he would not give up the hope of life.

  Wutaibeigu's mouth curled up in a cold smile as he looked at Yelü Lüzhen: "So you want to die!"

  Yelü Lüjing raised his head: "Give me a sword!"

  Wutaibei Guha burst out laughing: "Give you a knife? That's too cheap for you! You've killed so many of our tribesmen, today I'll roast the two of you to perfection and have a hearty meal! Don't worry, I won't even leave your bones behind."

  Chen Yuan anxiously shouted: "Headman, I didn't say I wanted to die!"

  Wutaibeigu nodded: "I know, so I give a way out."

  Chen Yuan hurriedly asked: "Please enlighten us, leader!"

  Wutahebo said: "I'll put you on the fire and roast you. If you're still alive after a while, I'll let you go."

  Inside the cave, all the Jurchen women burst out laughing at the same time. They looked at Chen Yuan and Yelü Lüjie as if they were looking at a delicious meal. The gaze made Chen Yuan feel a little frightened.

  A heap of dry firewood was already burning. Several Jurchen women rushed over and tied Chen Yuanyang and Yelu Luojing up with all their might, preparing to burn them at the stake.

  Chen Yuan never thought that he originally wanted to come to this cave for a romantic barbecue, but now he's actually going to be barbecued by others.

  In a moment of desperation, Chen Yuan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Yelü Lüzhen, only to discover that her face had also turned pale, with an expression of terror that was truly pitiful.

  "Halt!" Chen Yuan summoned all the Qi in his Dantian and shouted, those Jurchen people were stunned for a moment, then they all stopped in their tracks.

  Wutaibei was also stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

  Chen Yuan's mind turned quickly: "Isn't it that no matter what price we pay, you won't let us leave alive?"

  Wutaibei nodded: "Yes! They killed so many of us, want to get out alive? No way!"

  As long as you're willing to talk, Chen Yuan will make concessions. Chen Yuan has always believed that as long as the price is right, there's no deal that can't be made.

  "Can't we even pay them with grain to help them get through this winter?" This condition was indeed very tempting for the Jurchen people, because their fundamental purpose in fighting each other was just to survive this winter.

  But Wu Ta-pei hesitated for a moment: "No!"

  "Plus the lives of those Liao soldiers outside? We'll lead them here and let you avenge yourselves!"

  This time, Wutaibagu did not refuse, but instead looked at each other with several people around him.

  Chen Yuan did not give them a chance to discuss, and immediately said: "If I help you defeat them, can't you avenge your loved ones and snatch their food to get through this winter?"

  He still didn't answer, but Utaibagu's eyes told everyone that he was moved.

  Chen Yuan continued: "Not enough? Alright then, let's add the Yellow Dragon Garrison as well! I know exactly how many Liao soldiers are currently in the Yellow Dragon Garrison!"

  Wutaibage finally spoke up: "Who is it?"

  Chen Yuan heard this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, his blank check had finally moved these people. Now all he needed to do was make them believe that this check could be cashed.

  "He is Chen Shimei, the study companion of the current Liao State prince. Although he doesn't have much power, he has a big business in Yanjing and both the Liao State prince and the Ninth Prince are quite fond of him." A person with a Liao appearance suddenly popped out from the side, Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, how did this person know himself so clearly?

  Wutaibei obviously trusted this Liao person and nodded: "Can he really do what he said earlier?"

  The Liao people smiled and said, "I don't know about that, but I think it's a pity for the leader to kill him like this. Not to mention anything else, his family is wealthy, if the leader wants his family to send a few hundred carts of grain, shouldn't be a problem, right?"

  The man had already walked up to Chen Yuan's side and asked again: "Master Chen, am I right?"

  Chen Yuan nodded: "No problem, I have opened the largest grain store in Yanjing. As long as the leader lets me off, not to mention a few hundred carts of grain, I can give thousands of carts!"

  Thousands of cars! The number slowly dissipated the killing intent in Wu Taibei's eyes, and he looked at Chen Yuan: "What method can we use to avenge our dead brothers?"

  Chen Yuan smiled: "I know everything about the Liao army, and I dare to guarantee that as long as we set up traps well, I will let this girl go back and lead the Liao army here!"

  Wuta nodded, this bait was too enticing and he couldn't resist. Only, he didn't dare make a decision yet.

  Look at Yelü Lüjie, Wutai Bieguo asked: "Who is she?"

  "She's mine!" Chen Yuan said immediately.

  Wuta thought to himself, if she wasn't Chen Yuan's woman, how would the two of them have ended up in this mountain cave together? But he still couldn't shake off his unease: "How do I know whether it's true or false? What if she goes out and doesn't care about life or death, and doesn't follow what we said?"

  Chen Yuan suddenly turned his body and turned to Yelü Lü, saying: "Her family members are now all dependent on me for food. If I don't go back, she won't have any benefits either!"

  He suddenly thrust his head forward and pressed his lips onto Yelü Chucai's mouth.

  Yelü Lü's mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't even try to dodge. This brief kiss made Wutaibai believe in their relationship, and Chen Yuan felt almost satisfied before lifting his head and saying: "Be good and do as the leader says, listen obediently."

  "What about that?"

  Chen Yuanyi smiled: "I'm fine, don't worry."
