  Xiao Yuanfeng said, "Just look at the faces of Ye Lu's father and son, it's all under control. I know that Ye Lushubao will not give up like this. If he really did something to Chenyuan, wouldn't his own future be ruined?"

  So, before the banquet ended, he quietly pulled Chen Yuan out and said: "Brother Chen, it's better to go back first. I know that surname Shu very well. Once he gets drunk, who knows what he'll do when he leaves this gate."

  Chen Yuan smiled after hearing this: "Thank you, Sir Xiao, for reminding me. I'm deeply grateful. By the way, Sir Xiao, it was very crowded inside just now and not convenient to talk. Now, I'll take the liberty of asking, is your hand really inconvenient?"

  Xiao Yuanfeng nodded: "Ah, originally there were still over a thousand guan, but recently I got to know a girl named Yi Cui in the brothel, and all that money was spent on her. Brother Chen, rest assured, I absolutely won't let you wait for too long."

  Chen Yuanyi patted his shoulder: "General Xiao misunderstood me, it's okay if there's no money, I'll just give you a share of the stock."

  Xiao Yuanfeng of course knew what a dry share meant. When the Nanbei Wharf was booming, he hadn't thought about going to extort some money, but after inquiring and finding out that this business had the backing of the Ninth Prince and Xiao Sulan, this idea was immediately abandoned.

  "Now Chen Yuan says this, really doesn't know how to answer, speech is a bit stuttered: 'Then, then how to do?'"

  Chen Yuan chuckled: "The salary is not much, but it's definitely more than that stipend every month. As long as Master Xiao can give me a few more convenient roads in the future, I'll be eternally grateful."

  Xiao Yuanfeng rubbed his hands together, a smile spreading across his face. He knew that he didn't need to investigate the goods himself, as even if he did, Ye Lü would just say something and let them go anyway. So for him, this convenience was truly convenient. In his heart, he secretly rejoiced: "Naturally, Brother Chen can rest assured."

  Chen Yuan lowered his head, as if there was something he hesitated to say. Xiao Yuanyi immediately asked: "Brother Chen, is there anything else I can do for you? Please speak up!"

  Chen Yuan sighed: "Xiao sir, you are also a person beside Ye Lü Ren Xian, let's put it this way. My brother only wants to make a fortune by doing business and climbing up the nine princes is just for another path. It was unintentional that we blocked Shu Bao young master, and the misunderstanding in between can't be explained clearly at once. I only hope that if Xiao sir has the chance in the future, you can speak on my behalf to Shu Bao young master, I just want to do business."

  Xiao Yuanfeng nodded: "Alright, Brother Chen rest assured. This way, I'll send you back first, I'm afraid Shu Bao is really doing something outside."

  Chen Yuan pushed back: "I'll send Xiao sir back to the mansion first, I have a car, haha." He really felt that this sentence was very funny. So he said at the end, he laughed out loud first.

  When Chen Yuan returned home, Wang Lun was still waiting there, and Pang Xi and others were also sitting in the main hall. As soon as Wang Lun saw Chen Yuan return, he blamed him, saying: "Chen Shimei, where did you go? We went out together, shouldn't we at least say a word about going somewhere? I turned my head and found that you were gone, and I thought something had happened."

  Chen Yuan suddenly understood that everyone was together because of their concern for him, and his heart felt a warmth: "Thank you all, I just sent Xiao Yuanyang home."

  Just as he sat down, a woman's voice sounded behind him: "Master, have some tea!"

  After finishing a cup of tea, Chen Yuan turned his head to take a look and found that it was Xiaoxue's sister. At this time, she was actually wearing a servant's clothes, and immediately asked: "Who let her wear these clothes?"

  The woman heard this and immediately knelt down: "Master, my family was robbed by the Liao army and brought to Yanjing. All my relatives died, leaving only me alive. I had nowhere to go, but the mistress took pity on me and took me in. If you drive me out, master, I will have no choice but to die! Please spare my life!"

  "It was I who told her to stay."

  Chen Yuan looked at Hu Jing: "I have no objection to letting her stay, but is it necessary to make her a servant?"

  These are Chen Yuan's words from the bottom of his heart. From the time he got married to now, he never thought that one day he would find a maid, because in Chen Yuan's opinion, letting his wife do household chores was enough. Eating meals cooked by his wife and wearing clothes ironed by her is a kind of happiness.

  So he never thought of finding an old mother or a young mother to serve himself. But when this was heard by others, it caused a very serious misunderstanding.

  The Song Dynasty was an era when women's status was relatively low, and a girl like her could be a maid in a wealthy family, which was already a blessing. Why didn't Chen Yuan want her to be a maid? There must be some issues worth exploring in this matter.

  Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Yuan, and suddenly thought that such a timid and fearful person would suddenly have a strong sense of justice that night, which was a very strange thing in itself.

  He shifted his gaze from Chen Yuan's body to the woman's, and saw that although she was wearing coarse linen clothes, her eyebrows and eyes were clean and beautiful, and her figure was also exuding a soft beauty, which could be considered as a top-notch beauty. The crowd showed an expression of sudden realization, as if they had understood something.

  "Ah, I told you so! Earlier when we were giving this girl clothes, I asked you to wait a bit, but you didn't listen to me! Shopkeeper, now can I go help this young lady tidy up her room?"

  "What room is being cleaned?"

  Before others could respond, Hu Jing suddenly stood up: "It's my fault, how come I didn't think that everything Chen Zhang does is well-planned in advance, when will it be my turn to make arrangements?" After finishing speaking, she stormed out of the room.

  Chen Yuan looked at the expressions of the crowd, and finally looked at the woman who was also standing there with her head down in shame. Suddenly understanding what they had misunderstood, he hastily reached out to pull Hu Jing: "Hey, wait, you've got it wrong!"

  Hu Jing shook off his hand: "No need to think I'll explain anything."

  Chen Yuan didn't catch her, and instead fell onto the table, bumping into his wound, and let out a pained cry. The girl hurried over to support him: "Master, are you alright?"

  Hu Jing had already turned back upon hearing Chen Yuan's shout, but when she saw that the woman had come up to support him, he shook his head and walked away.

  Chen Yuan finally caught his breath after a long time, and pushed the woman away: "Miss, I'm fine, don't make any more trouble for me. If nothing happens to me, then everything is fine. Tell me, can you read?"

  The girl nodded: "I was born in a family of scholars, I don't just recognize characters, I am also proficient in poetry and songs, and..."

  Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Alright, that's enough. Tomorrow, teach Amu to recognize characters. By the way, deduct the wages from Amu's wages."

  "Shopkeeper, what's the meaning of this?"

  Chen Yuan looked at him: "Do you understand investment? This is called investment! In the future, when I take you back to the Song Dynasty, I will make you a barbecue shop owner. If you can't even recognize a single character, how can you calculate accounts?"

  After finishing speaking, Amu ignored him and started thinking about what investment meant. He let the woman go down first, and after her figure disappeared, he began to talk about some proper business. Looking at Wang Lun, he said: "Brother Wang, are you really willing to help me out?"

  Wang Lun nodded: "Brother Chen, what I said today is also very clear. If you don't believe me, it's as if Wang Lun never came."

  Chen Yuan hastily apologized, "I didn't mean it that way, Wang brother misunderstood. I don't know what's wrong with me tonight, every time I speak, it leads to misunderstandings. Let me put it straightforwardly, Wang brother, this mission of ours is very dangerous, and only a handful of people are aware of the details, including Ah Mu, whom I haven't even told."

  Chen Yuan said, letting Ah Mu sit beside him: "You can say that I'm too distrustful of you all, whatever. But from today on, every single one of you must help out, including Wang Gege. Because the game is about to begin."

  Wang Lun didn't ask what game, but directly asked: "Where are you planning to start from?"

  Chen Yuan said in a low voice, "Yelü Nügu's efficiency is still good. Now there are rumors in the army that Yelü Nügu was defeated this time because Yelü Rennan sabotaged him. I think this rumor will reach Liao Xingzong's ears in just a few days."

  Wang Lun shook his head: "This is absolutely not enough. Liao Xingzong will only treat this as a rumor."

  Chen Yuan smiled: "When the time comes, there will be people in the imperial court who will accuse him. What we need to do is make the emperor believe this rumor."

  Without waiting for others to ask, Chen Yuan took over a teacup: "Liao Guo General Xiao Huqiu is now stationed with his troops in the north of Yanjing more than 200 miles away, waiting at any time for the Liao Emperor to summon him about the matter of Wen Tong's war. This man has helped Yelü Renshi do many things, and Yelü Renshi has many things that he cannot tell others, all of which he knows. If he suddenly disappears, what will Yelü Renshi think? What will he do?"

  Pang Xi said, "Yelü Renxian will definitely panic and worry that Xiao Congzhou was caught by his opponent. If he reveals any secrets, he'll be in trouble. However, Brother Chen, Xiao Congzhou is in the military camp with several thousand Liao soldiers guarding him, and his martial arts skills are not bad either. This plan isn't easy to carry out."

  Chen Yuan's face was at its most swollen, and even a slight movement of his facial expression was extremely painful. After hearing Pang Xi's words, Chen Yuan still had some pride: "Heh heh, so it's said that before going to war, one must know oneself and the enemy. Xiao Kuiqiu's home is in Yanjing, three days from now, it's his son's birthday. He married ten concubines, until he was forty years old before having this one son, I think, he will return."

  Pang Xi finally felt at ease: "Alright, as long as he dares to come back, I guarantee that he will disappear."

  Chen Yuan shook his head at Pang Xi: "Can't go, first of all, everyone knows that General Manager Pang's martial arts are strong, if there is any flaw, others will easily suspect us. This matter, I think I'll ask Wang Lun to help."

  Wang Lun didn't hesitate at all: "Alright, where is Xiao Congqiu's home? I'll go check it out tomorrow."

  Chen Yuan told Wang Lun about the situation he knew, and then said to Pang Xi: "Brother Pang, tomorrow, please go to a place called Yue Huan Lou and find a courtesan named Yi Cui, help her redeem herself."

  The game has really started, at least for Chen Yuan. He only plans to start with Xiao Yuanchu and Xiao Yuanfeng. Because the pieces are moving more, Yelü Rennian may notice.

  Chen Yuan did not want to disturb this enemy for now, and letting the enemy sleep a little longer would give him a slightly greater grasp.
