Chapter 136: Song Renzong's close guard

After calming down a little, Chen Yuan said to the people in the room: "You all go back and rest, Brother Pang, you stay, this military master has something to look for you." ”

Although they were all curious, Amuda, Yang Wenguang and Hu Jing still went back to their rooms. After they left, Pang Xi lazily asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Yuan rushed in and put the paper in the guard's hand in front of Pang Xi: "What's the matter?" Didn't you say no one recognized you? Don't you boast that you've never missed? ”

Pang Xi looked at the note, and saw that it was written: "Ask Pang Xi, why did you assassinate Lord Song." ”

Pang Xi was also stunned, and when the guard flashed in, he recognized that this person was Yang Yi who was injured by himself.

Yang Yi sat in front of Pang Xi, Chen Yuan wanted to try to persuade him, and smiled very humbly: "Master Jun, do you want to drink tea?" ”

Pang Xi shook his head at Chen Yuanyi: "Shopkeeper, you don't have to bother talking, he can't hear you, he is deaf." ”

Chen Yuanda was surprised: "Then you can still be a guard?" ”

Pang Xi looked at Yang Yi: "He is not only a guard, but also the best guard of the Song Dynasty, and the emperor's personal guard!" ”

Yang Yi suddenly took out another pen and paper from his arms, Pang Xi held it down, and gestured twice on his chest with his hand, which meant: "You don't need to write, you play sign language, I understand." ”

Yang Yi put away the pen and paper, and Chen Yuan, who made a few gestures, didn't understand what it meant, and Pang Xi explained: "He asked us why we assassinated Lord Song, and he knew that we were not bad people, otherwise he wouldn't have helped them fight that day." But if it's just to frame the party members, it's too wrong to kill his three brothers, and he wants us to explain. ”

Chen Yuan snorted coldly: "You killed the person, you explain it to him." ”

Pang Xi was furious: "Chen Shimei, you won't be like this, right?" Now if he tells someone about it, we're done! ”

Chen Yuan was also very annoyed: "It's you who didn't do a good job!" Didn't you say no one recognized you? How can he survive from your hands? ”

Pang Xi immediately stood up and pulled Chen Yuan: "Now is not the time to say this, you have to help me find a way to stabilize him first!" ”

Yang Yi looked up at the two people arguing, although he didn't know what they were talking about, he was not in a hurry, he just sat there and waited.

Chen Yuan's eyes rolled, and he couldn't find a suitable wording, and Pang Xi was a little anxious: "No, I'll kill him now!" ”

Chen Yuan grabbed his hand: "You're crazy!" If he dares to come, he won't be afraid that you will kill him! ”

Pang Xi asked, "What should I do then!" ”

Chen Yuan suddenly thought of a solution, which may not work, but he has to try it. He immediately said, "I say a word, you translate a sentence." ”

Pang Xi nodded and sat down. Chen Yuan said slowly: "We were instructed by Bai Yutang, the guard of the Great Song Dynasty, and others to steal the map, the military map of the Liao State. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Chen Yuan found that Yang Yi's face softened a lot, he knew that this bet was right, thinking that this Yang Yi must have left Bianjing with Bai Yutang and them, at least he knew about the map.

Chen Yuan smashed Pang Xi behind with his hand, meaning that there was a door. Then he continued: "It's just that Lord Song is not going well, help him, killing people is to assassinate more like the real thing." As for you saying that we shouldn't kill people, you can sue me Pang Xi in front of the emperor after returning to Bianjing, and now I hope we don't have infighting. ”

Pang Xi was angry and translated into sign language, and after the translation, he was suddenly a little annoyed: "Why don't you tell you Chen Shimei!" ”

Chen Yuan pouted: "How old am I, Chen Shimei?" Isn't it as famous as you are in Bianjing? ”

Although Pang Xi was angry, he couldn't change his words anymore, and his eyes turned to look at Yang Yi. Yang Yi thought for a while, finally nodded, gestured to Pang Xi again, and then got up to leave.

Chen Yuan asked, "What did he say?" ”

Pang Xi sighed: "He said that his instincts told him that he shouldn't expose us, so he came to talk to us." Our reasons are far-fetched, but he will see what we do in the future, and can keep it a secret for us now, and if he finds out that we lied to him before he leaves, he will make us pay. ”

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly; "Grandma's, the trouble is getting bigger and bigger. If we can't satisfy him, whether he exposes it to the Emperor of Liao when he leaves, or complains to our Emperor after he returns, we won't be able to eat and walk around. It's all you, why did you leave a living mouth at that time? ”

Pang Xi stared at Chen Yuan: "I really didn't expect him to recognize me even if I covered my face!" ”

Pang Xi was really well disguised at the time, but he met a person with a superior sixth sense, and Yang Yi recognized him by his own senses.

Early the next morning, Chen Yuan immediately did something that shocked the entire Yan Kyoto and recruited workers.

Other businesses recruit workers just by hanging a sign at the door, even if some larger commercial houses recruit men, at most they will play a gong and drum. But Chen Yuan was different, he sent his men to stand on the side of the street like fools on the ten main streets, and most of the Yanjing residents who came and went stopped to watch when they saw this.

As soon as the time came, firecrackers were immediately set off at the ten recruitment points, and more people were attracted to the movement, and then the guys moved out of the tables and chairs, beat the gongs and drums, and carried out the recruitment notice written on red paper.

Those who want to find something to do or come to see the excitement mostly come to see what is written on the paper.

Chen Yuan was very thoughtful, and invited a scholar at each point to be responsible for registration, and the literate guy next to him was responsible for reading the revelation of the job recruitment over and over again.

The favorable conditions immediately caused a sensation in the crowd, and although there were still some doubts in their hearts, most of the people who needed jobs still lined up to sign up.

Even those who don't need to work are talking to each other about which business is making this unprecedented move. In short, in just one morning, Chen Yuanna's name "North and South Wharf" has spread all over the streets and alleys of Yanjing.

In the era of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a merchant like him, which has caused a sensation before it has even opened.

Chen Yuan is also very busy, on the one hand, he runs back and forth at various recruitment points, and on the other hand, he has to organize people to build up the house and warehouse, one person is used as two people, and when he comes down, he always feels a sore back and a sore buttocks.

The wound on his buttocks hadn't fully healed, which was why he didn't have to go to study with Yelu Hongji these days.

Chen Yuan hopes that some important issues can be solved before he leaves, since he can't raise money now, he can only wait until he comes back, and the task of Pang Xi and Hu Jing during the time he left is to ensure that he will not leak his foundation because of business matters.

But Liao Xingzong didn't leave him a lot of time, and five days later, a eunuch in the palace came to tell Chen Yuan and asked Chen Yuan to enter Liao Xingzong immediately, probably leaving.

Chen Yuan felt a little sad in his heart, really a little sad. Thinking that he was about to face those born Jurchens who dared to fight tigers, his heart was full of ups and downs, if he couldn't come back this time, would it be goodbye?

Hu Jing was also teary-eyed, she wanted Chen Yuan to go with her, but it was the army, the army of Liao.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, finally patted Pang Xi's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Pang, if there is any accident, you take Hu Jing and the guys to go first, leave us alone, I have a way." ”

The voice was very small, but Pang Xi who said it was a little moved, he knew that it was not easy for such words to come out of Chen Yuan's mouth!

At the moment, he also whispered: "Although I am not a good person, I will do what I promised you, I will wait for you to come back, and I will take care of Miss Hu, you can rest assured." ”

After speaking, he suddenly smiled: "Actually, we are the same, if this time things are not done, I will not be able to go back." ”

Chen Yuan didn't say anything more, and followed the eunuch who came to announce the decree. Although Hu Jing leaned against the door and looked at it, Chen Yuan did not look back all the way.

When he walked into the palace, the eunuch first took him to Yelu Hongji, and then waited for Liao Xingzong's summons together.

There were already five people sitting in Yeluhongki's room, four of whom were acquaintances, the four guards who had gone to the casino with them that day, and one stranger.

After Chen Yuan came in, Yelu Hongji was a little excited: "Chen Shimei, are you here too?" That's great! ”

The four Xiao guards also nodded to Chen Yuan and greeted politely.

Chen Yuan looked at Yelu Hongji's eyes: "Is the prince feeling a little excited now?" ”

Yelu Hongji said: "Yes, this is the first time I have led the army, come, let me introduce you, this is General Liu Fang, I will take his 10,000 troops to the expedition this time." ”

Chen Yuanchong saluted Liu Fang: "I've seen the general." ”

Liu Fang hurriedly stood up from the chair: "Hey, it should be the last general to give you a salute, this time the emperor ordered the last general to go with the prince, which really flattered me." ”

Liu Fang is a Han Chinese, and in the regime of the ethnic minority of Daliao, the Han generals are very excluded. This is not only because of ethnic estrangement, but also has a lot to do with the Liao army's operations.

If it was in the Song Dynasty, it would be impossible to send a 10,000-strong army without more than ten days of effort, but the Liao [***] team could. They can even be a little faster.

This has a lot to do with the supply of the Liao State, although the Khitans have been trying their best to imitate the Great Song Dynasty to modify their own system, but the war is still their main channel for supplies. This method has its advantages, which is flexibility and mobility. It is possible to quickly assemble troops in a short period of time. But there is also his disadvantage, that is, if the battle enters a stalemate, they will lose.

This is also the reason why the Liao people repeatedly invaded the Great Song Dynasty, winning a complete victory at the beginning, but finally being forced to retreat every time.

Including the later Jin Dynasty to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, if it weren't for Song Qinzong crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, driving all the main battle factions out of the court, and dismissing the divisions of the Qin Kings and the rebel army one after another, no matter how brave those Jurchens were, it would be impossible to break Bianjing.

So that's how to do things, wolf-like opponents are not scary, what is scary is pig-like teammates. Especially if you have to listen to this pig, you are even more dangerous.
