Wanyan Ruru had been in Yelu Zongyuan's cell for almost ten days, and in the past ten days, there was not a single day when he had not worried about his tribe. He was very unwilling, thinking about the time when the previous leader handed over the tribe to himself, the Wanyan tribe was one of the largest tribes among the Jurchens.

In just this battle, the clansmen of the army were killed and wounded, and those who were alive were also locked up by the Liao, he was not afraid of death, but if the entire tribe was exterminated because of his own mistakes, it would be difficult for him to accept.

What if you can't accept it now? People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, where is there room for struggle? Watching the clansmen in the cell eating the prison food that was difficult for them to ask for, the mood was very entangled.

A figure stopped in front of his cell, and Wan Yan Ruru turned his head to look at it, and saw Chen Yuan's face with many bruises.

He knew Chen Yuan, if it wasn't for the Song people who resolutely refused to enter the woods in that battle, then now he might be crisscrossing the white mountains and black waters.

His eyes were a little hostile, and then immediately darkened again. The Jurchens are all warriors, and the most basic condition for being a warrior is not that you can't lose, but that you can't afford to lose. People beat themselves on the battlefield in a proper manner, so they can't hold grudges if they lose, of course, if they have the opportunity to retaliate, they can.

Chen Yuan put a jar of good wine at the door of the cell: "Chief, how about a drink?" ”

Ruru Lu was not polite, stood up from the ground in iron chains, walked to the door and suddenly shook his whole body with iron chains, and at the same time let out a loud roar in his mouth: "Ah! ”

Chen Yuan was frightened and took two steps back, and Yelu Biru and Yelu Kaiqing also hurriedly drew their knives.

Ruru Lu stopped roaring, looked at Yelu Biru and Yelu Kaiqing, who were very nervous, and then looked at Chen Yuan, whose face was already a little pale, and laughed. Through the small door under the cell, he reached out and lifted the jar of wine in, slapped open the mud, and poured it into his mouth.

Chen Yuan's expression slowly returned to normal, and he walked to the door again: "Touren, just drinking alcohol hurts your body, there are some braised meat here for the headman to drink." With that, he put the two wooden plates on the ground as well.

The Ruru deer did not speak, but bent down to take the food in, and then took it aside to eat. Chen Yuan didn't say anything, just stood aside and waited for him to finish eating. At the same time, he walked back and forth in the corridor twice, looking at every prisoner in the cell, trying to find out if there were any short, fat men in his forties, as Yang Yi said.

Walking into the darkest corner, he suddenly found his goal. That person was the same as Yang Yi said, and he was still wearing standard Song clothes, so he thought it was that Zhang Kuangzheng.

Chen Yuan paused in front of his cell door for a moment longer. That Zhang Kuangzheng turned a blind eye to Chen Yuan, as if there was a person standing at the door who did not arouse his interest in the slightest, and was drawing something on the ground with straw paper.

A breeze blew in from outside, blowing one of the pieces of straw paper from his side and falling towards Chen Yuan's feet. Zhang Kuangzheng hurriedly wanted to hold it down with his hand, but unfortunately he was still a step too slow, and the straw paper passed through the wooden bar of the cell and landed at Chen Yuan's feet.

Chen Yuan reached out to pick it up, only to hear Zhang Kuangzheng shouting loudly: "Dadonghai! My Great East Sea! ”

Chen Yuan ignored him, picked it up and looked at it, there were irregular shapes drawn on the papyrus one by one, thinking that it should be a map or something. Chen Yuan looked at the appearance of those shapes and felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where the terrain was for a while.

Zhang Kuangzheng was already like crazy: "Give it back to me!" Give it back! ”

The guard rushed over from the other end of the prison and knocked on Zhang Kuangzheng's arm stretched out from the cell door with a thick stick, but Zhang Kuangzheng continued to grab Chen Yuan as if the arm was not his own: "Give it to me!" ”

Chen Yuan waved his hand to stop the guard, and then handed the piece of straw paper to Zhang Kuangzheng, only to see that he seemed to have obtained his most precious thing again, and immediately ran back inside, and put the straw paper together with the other sheets.

The guard asked with some trepidation, "Lord Chen, didn't surprise you, did you?" This man is a madman. ”

Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Kuangzheng's back, shook his head, and motioned to the guards to stop talking. He always felt that the few figures on the papyrus just now looked like he had seen on the map before, but he really couldn't remember them for a while.

He didn't want others to pay attention to him and paid attention to Zhang Kuangzheng, and after making sure that this person was still alive and not shackled, he turned around and walked towards Wanyan Rurulu.

The food brought by Chen Yuan was obviously much better than the prison meal, but after leaving for a while, there were only a few bones left in front of Rurulu.

As if he hadn't eaten well, he put ten fingers in his mouth and greedily sucked on the grease stains on it. Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "If the head man still wants to eat, I will send it to you later." ”

When Ruru Lu heard this, he took his finger out of his mouth: "You don't kill me?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "I have no grievances with the headman, why should I kill you." ”

After listening to this, Ruru laughed out loud and seemed even happy: "I thought that meal just now was a severed head meal." After making trouble for a long time, I've fallen to this point, and it's still useful. ”

Chen Yuan gave a thumbs up outside the cell door: "The head man is smart, and he is here to discuss a matter with the head man." ”

Ruru is also happy: "Say it! Can you keep me alive, can you keep all the people of my tribe alive! ”

Chen Yuan thought for a while: "I don't dare to say your surname, and you young people, I won't promise you anything." But these old people, women, children of your tribe, I can keep them alive. ”

Ruru Lu didn't give Chen Yuan an answer, but shouted loudly to the two people in a cell opposite: "Tie Anli, Su Tu, what do you two think I should do?"

There were two young people locked up in the opposite cell, Chen Yuan looked back, and the two young people had already run to the edge of the wooden fence, making themselves closer to Rurulu: "Touren, promise him, as long as the child is still there, our Wanyan tribe will still be there!" We are not qualified to speak of conditions! ”

There were only a few hundred Jurchens who were caught, and after removing those young and strong, the total number of old and weak people was only more than a hundred, and the children were only twenty or thirty.

But these twenty or thirty children are their hope for the future, as long as these children can go back safely, then the Wanyan tribe can continue to exist in the white mountains and black waters.

The other asked Chen Yuan: "Excuse me, can you really let our children and women go?" ”

Chen Yuan said very happily: "Of course. ”

The man's eyes looked at Chen Yuan very firmly: "Okay, you release our women and children first, and when we are sure that they are safe, we can do whatever you want." ”

The Jurchens are like that, they can give everything in order to survive. For the hope of the entire tribe to continue to exist, Rulu and several leaders are willing to cooperate with Chen Yuan, even if they can't save their own lives in the end.

The premise is that Chen Yuan must release their women and children first until they are sure that their women and children are safe.

They had been deceived by the Liao many times, and in what might be the last bet of their lives, they wanted to be a relatively fair gamble.

This is their bottom line, unshakable.

After Chen Yuan came out of the prison, he decided to go to Yelu Zongyuan again immediately, without stopping for a moment, and asked Yelu Zongyuan to promise to release those women and children first.

This matter must be done as soon as possible, because although Yelu Zongyuan's release is a matter of one sentence, it takes enough time to make those Jurchens feel safe.

Xiao Yuanqiu has already been arrested by himself, and Chen Yuan doesn't know how much time there is. The struggle between the North Court and the South Court may start at any time, and Liao Xingzong may personally interrogate these Jurchens at any time.

What Chen Yuan didn't expect was that when he came back again, Yelu Zongyuan was already waiting for him at home, and from Yelu Zongyuan's expression, he was even more anxious than himself.

Yelu Gollum told Yelu Zongyuan about the matter as soon as possible, and this old and cunning guy immediately realized that Chen Yuan's choice of starting point was very good!

When Chen Yuan proposed to him to create rumors in the army, Yelu Zongyuan was not optimistic, because in his opinion, this kind of small trick commonly used by the Song people was not enough to shake Yelu Renxian's position. It is impossible to do anything to Jeroden on trumped-up charges.

Yanjing is the Yanjing of Liao, and the system of Liaoguo is not like the Great Song Dynasty, which is decided by the emperor alone. But the Liao State is different, the king of the North and South Courts himself has a strong power, if it is really that easy, Liao Xingzong will not be at a loss for the matter of reforming the government.

So at the beginning, he only said to Chen Yuan: "You can try." ”

Now, rumors are even spreading, and they even have noses and eyes. Yelu Sect Yuan Xin concluded that this rumor had reached Yelu Renxian's ears, and Liao Xingzong must have known about it.

If these can't attract Yelu Renxian's attention, then Xiao Yuanqiu's disappearance is enough to make his opponent chaotic!

The court game is like two masters against each other, when the opponent is restless, it is time to make a move!

He decided to attack the court first, starting tomorrow, to catch Yeluren off guard! Now his biggest advantage is that no matter where he attacks, the first thing Yelu Renxian has to consider is whether Yelu Zongyuan has gotten information from Xiao Yuanqiu!

So if he wants to meet Chen Yuan, he must know what steps Chen Yuan will take next, one in the light and one in the dark, as long as he cooperates well, it is very likely that this attack will be able to break the opponent's seemingly unbreakable camp!

Chen Yuan first talked about what he had gained from this trip to the prison, and Yelu Zongyuan was very satisfied after hearing it: "Okay! Very good! As long as Naru Rulu is willing to do what we taught him, this time Yeluren will be in trouble! Chen Shimei, my son said that you have the talent of the world, and it is true. Don't worry, as long as we can hit Yeluren first this time, you should be the first to take the lead! Say, what do you want? ”

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth went up: "I only have one request, when the time comes to clean up the Yelu Shubao, please ask the king to allow me to make a move." ”

Yelu Zongyuan looked at Chen Yuan's villainous grudge look, and smiled slowly: "If it is really possible, of course I will let Shimei do it." It's just that based on the words of those Jurchens and some unsubstantiated rumors, it is absolutely okay to hit him hard, and I am afraid that it will not work if the emperor wants to kill Yeluren first. ”
