  The first step in self-rescue is to narrow the distance between both parties, making it impossible for the hijackers to feel that they are standing on opposite sides. Now that this seems to have been successful, the next step is to find some topics that can resonate with the female hijackers and make them trust what I say.

  It's easy to talk about, but when you really face the kidnappers, it's very difficult. First of all, we must figure out what the Jurchen people, especially Wutaibage, are thinking in their hearts right now. If our words provoke their anger, things will be terrible.

  So, facing Utaibagu's simple question, Chen Yuan also turned it over in his mind several times before saying: "Don't be fooled, I have a lot of money on hand now. Headman, do you know what I want to use it for?"

  "What else can we do? Just eat and drink! Food that's too much to finish, good wine that's too much to drink!"

  Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, the headman and I think alike. I think our previous lives should also be the same. Don't laugh at me, headman, my family is very poor. My greatest wish in reading books all along has been to take an imperial examination and get a good title, so that my family will not have to suffer anymore. Just like what was said, having more delicious food than we can eat and more good wine than we can drink."

  Wanyan Zongbi said: "Poor? Where can the Song people be poor to? We Jurchens are the real poor, we are so poor that we don't even have our lives."

  This is a very sad topic, he must talk about the future, say hope! On the basis of this sad topic in Wutaibagu.

  "Has the head of the household ever tried being short of money even for buying medicine when a family member is ill?" Chen Yuan asked in a low voice.

  Wutaibei didn't answer, but his eyes had already told Chen Yuan that he had tried.

  "So that's why I won't take the imperial examination, I want to do business and make money, a lot of money, so that my relatives and friends can all live well, that's enough."

  Wutaibei looked at Chen Yuan, and a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, but it was gone in an instant. Chen Yuan continued to say: "Now I've made it, but the leader told me, can I still go back to see my family?"

  Wuta's cheek twitched twice: "It depends on what that woman does, I promise, as long as she brings the Liao army to let me avenge myself and gives us some ransom, I'll let her go, guaranteeing no harm."

  Chen Yuan immediately asked, "Headman, to be honest, I have something that I don't understand. Can you tell me? The ginseng, lingzhi mushrooms, and deer antlers from Changbai Mountain are sold at sky-high prices in the Song Dynasty, so why are our people still so poor?"

  Chen Yuan knew the answer in his heart. Although the selling price of these things was high, the cost on the road was also quite frightening, and it couldn't be traded in large quantities, which made some businessmen stop in their tracks. This resulted in having goods when there were no merchants, and having merchants when there might not be any goods, directly leading to low prices.

  He asked this question to see Utaibagu's reaction. If Utaibagu spoke, it would mean that he had already taken a bit of initiative, at least in the conversation, and had begun to dominate the situation.

  Later, let the other person continue speaking along their own train of thought, this is very important!

  Only in this way can he quickly judge Utaha's current attitude towards himself based on the little information revealed between the lines of what Utaha said, and decide what to say next!

  Compared with these powerful Jurchen women, Chen Youliang was inferior in terms of physical strength and familiarity with the environment, so his only hope lay in his mouth.

  As expected, Chen Yuan's question set off a torrent of abuse from Wutaibai, who cursed the Liao and Song dynasties from top to bottom, including merchants, officials, and soldiers.

  Wutaibagu thought that these people had cut off their own way out. They had cut off the path of all Jurchen people. During his imprisonment, Chen Yu listened patiently and occasionally said a few words, making Wutaibagu feel especially kindred.

  It was a long time before Chen Yuan knew that the time for his final move had arrived, when Wutaibei finally vented out all the discontent in his heart.

  That's standing on the standpoint of a woman, seeking a way out for herself! The time to test one's verbal skills has truly arrived.

  "I thought being a leader would be glorious, but after hearing you say that, it seems to be really difficult to take care of the entire tribe's food and drink." Chen Yuan's voice was very soft, as if he were muttering to himself.

  Wutaibei sighed at this time: "The enemies outside are better, but there are still some people in our own tribe who don't understand me."

  Chen Yuan smiled: "Of course, I wouldn't have understood if the headman hadn't told me so much today. This time when I go back, I will definitely advise the emperor to open a market on the border and let the Jurchen people's goods be traded smoothly!"

  If a border market is really opened, it would be a great thing for the Jurchen people like Wutabuge. He couldn't help but feel excited: "Can it really be done?"

  Chen Yuan said at this time but did not vote in the package: "I don't know, I want to try."

  Wuta hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't speak. Chen Yuan knew he still needed to persuade him further, so he continued: "If the border market really opens, I'll definitely set up a store here and ask you Jurchen people to be my partners. I'll pay you wages, and if that day comes, please give me your full support."

  Wutaibei was also following Chen Yuan's daydream and started daydreaming: "If it were really like that, our children would have a good life."

  As soon as he started talking, Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart. As long as he agreed with his own idea, it would be easy to talk!

  Just as Wuta Biegu was about to indulge in his fantasy, a shout suddenly came from outside: "Headman! The headman is not good! Those Liao soldiers did not take the route we set up traps on, but instead took another route and attacked us!"

  These words instantly extinguished Chen Yuan's hope from the bottom of his heart, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

  Many of the friendly eyes around him just now shot out hateful glows. Chen Yuan was furious in his heart, wanting to say that women are unreliable, and if he had come a little later, he might have said it out loud!

  Now it's all over! Those women will absolutely kill themselves before those Liao soldiers rush in.

  "Yelu Wugulun!"

  Shan Ta drew out his steel fork: "I'll kill this guy first!"

  Chen Yuan had no ability to resist, lying on the ground with a pale face, feeling very unwilling in his heart. Could it be that Chen Shimei, who was supposed to leave a good name for generations to come, would end up being destroyed by himself between this white mountain and black water?

  "Wait!" Wu Taibo suddenly shouted to Shan Ta, then turned around and looked at Chen Yuan: "He's a good man. Among the Liao people and Song people I've seen, there are very few like him. It's no use killing one of them, so I'll let him go. Come on, blindfold his eyes, don't let him see where we're going."

  Chen Yuan was stunned, he had not expected the outcome to be like this. As several Liao people came over to bind him, Chen Yuan said: "Headman, I don't know if I can persuade the Emperor, but once I return to Yanjing, I will definitely have someone send a batch of grain over! At that time, please headman come to this mountain cave to collect the grain!"

  No one spoke anymore, and all that was left around me was a string of chaotic footsteps.

  After a long while, another set of footsteps came from afar, with someone constantly shouting in between: "Faster! Faster! Don't let them get away!"

  Chen Yuan knew that the Liao army had arrived and hastily moved his body, making his throat also produce some sounds.

  "Magistrate Chen! Quick, untie him!" Chen Tian heard that familiar voice of Xiao Da, a sound that was now music to Chen Yuan's ears.

  The ropes on his body were removed, and the black cloth covering his eyes was also taken off. The world in front of him lit up again, and a smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Yuan's face as he opened his mouth to say: "This world is too beautiful!"

  Xiao Da stepped forward and took a look: "Lord Chen, are you alright?"

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "Nothing."

  Xiao Da asked again: "Where did those Jurchen people run to?"

  Chen Yuan glanced at him: "Did I look like I could see clearly where they were running just now?"

  Xiao Da smiled apologetically and said to the soldiers behind him: "Take Lord Chen out for a rest!"

  As soon as Chen Yuan came out, Yelü Lü and Yelü Nugu and Yelü Hongji were standing outside anxiously waiting for news. As soon as Chen Yuan appeared, Yelü Hongji immediately rushed up to hug Chen Yuan's shoulders: "Chen Shimei, I knew nothing would happen!"

  At this moment, Chen Yuan really felt the true feelings of Ye Lu Hongji. Why was it Ye Lu Hongji and not his sister? Sneaking a glance over, Ye Lu Lian stood aside, her face also filled with smiles, and her eyes even had a hint of transparent tears.

  Yelü Niegulu also walked over, patted Chen Yuan's shoulder: "Brother Chen, I was just thinking, if the Jurchen people used their surname to coerce me, what should I do? To be honest, I really had some difficulties. Now it seems that I thought too much."

  "They made their biggest mistake by not shutting my mouth, I survived relying on my verbal skills."

  The three of them burst out laughing at the same time. Yelü Chucai, who was standing beside them, heard Chen Yuan mention his verbal sparring skills and couldn't help but think of that intimate encounter between the two of them before they left the cave. Her face suddenly turned bright red. Chen Yuan caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself, "Earlier, she almost got me killed. Next time, I'll make sure to teach her a lesson with my verbal sparring skills."

  The Jurchen people were apparently quite familiar with the terrain of this area. Before long, the searching soldiers came back to report that many footprints had been found on the mountain behind, and judging from the degree to which the footprints had been covered by wind and snow, the Jurchens should have gone far away.

  Yelü Niegulu sighed: "We should also withdraw our troops. In this mountainous terrain, even if they leave footprints behind, we can't catch up with them."

  Yelü Hongji nodded: "Yes, our food is also running out. I think when the road can be walked a bit, we can go home too. What does Ninth Brother think?"

  Yelü Nuwulu now faces Yelü Hongji, with a very oppressive feeling in his heart. This oppression is even more unbearable because it cannot be vented. He also wants to leave and find another opportunity to prove that he is indeed much stronger than Yelü Hongji.

  The unexpected outcome of this battle caused a great stir in the imperial court of Liao, and those led by Yelü Rensheng had already seen through Emperor Xingzong's intentions when he sent Yelü Ne'gulü to rescue Yelü Hongji, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

  Just as they were worried that they could no longer stop Yelü Nügu from ascending to the throne, heaven gave them a big gift - Yelü Nügu lost.

  It's not a rare thing for the Jurchen people to rebel, and the Liao country has sent troops to suppress them many times, but what's rare is that Yelü Hongji, who was always considered useless by them, miraculously turned the tide, not only saving Yelü Nechu and the nine princes, but also annihilating the Jurchen people's vitality in one battle, this is simply a miracle!

  At this time, Xiao Dalie was also very satisfied with the result. Listening to Xiao Sulie telling her about the battle, Xiao Dalie was very pleased and smiled from time to time on her face.

  Xiao Su said after finishing, also sighed a sentence: "Sister, Hong Ji performed extremely well this time, many of our plans didn't even get used, he actually won in one battle! I think, shouldn't we take advantage of the momentum and let the Emperor change his attitude towards Hong Ji too?"

  It seemed that he was not clear enough, so Xiao Su immediately explained: "My people are now beside those Jurchen women, they only have a few hundred defeated soldiers left. If this information is revealed to Hong Ji, wouldn't it be another great achievement?"
