Just as everyone was talking and laughing, they suddenly heard a shout from the outer guard: "Horse thief! ”

Then a scream came from the nearby hill, thinking that the sentry had been killed by the horse thieves.

The camp was suddenly a little panicked, everyone had long known that this road was difficult to walk, but they never expected that they would be attacked by horse thieves on the first night. In the midst of the panic, I heard someone shouting: "Extinguish the fire!" Extinguish all the torches! ”

This shout made all the caravans react immediately, and the firelight was revealing their own reality.

Everyone extinguished all the torches and bonfires, and Pang Xi said in Chen Yuan's ear: "What should I do?" ”

Chen Yuan didn't know what to do, although it was said that so many caravans were grouped up for safety, but it could only serve as a deterrent to those small horse bandits. After all, seven caravans mean that they have seven hearts, and when the real horse bandits rush over to rob, these coachmen and men are not enough to fight.

When Chen Yuan was thinking, he only heard the voice just now and said: "Don't panic, everyone, guard the entrance in front, and leave him alone with the goods on both sides." I'm going out now to see which way the bandits are, and if I can use the money to buy a way out. If it doesn't work, I'll fight it! ”

Chen Yuan immediately echoed: "Okay, the shopkeeper is so righteous, we are willing to obey orders." ”

Then he said in a low voice to the people around him: "Someone has come out, let's take a look at the situation first." ”

In addition to Chen Yuan's caravan, other teams also responded one after another. A torch lit up in the middle, and under the torch stood a merchant dressed as a literati in his forties.

The man rushed around and clenched his fists: "Brother went, I hope you can hold this entrance tightly, if you can't negotiate, you will inevitably have a fierce battle." ”

Judging from the calm manner in which he spoke, he knew that he was a person who had been on the battlefield.

With that, the man left the camp with only a retinue with torches. Their caravan still had people in the camp and immediately began to organize defenses.

According to the position arranged for him, Chen Yuan took the guys to carry knives.

Truth be told, these men had left all the caravans speechless when they set up their defensive formations, because they had left the most dangerous place, where the entrance was, to themselves. Chen Yuan, a caravan with slightly more people, was arranged next to them and was responsible for support and protection.

People take the initiative to pick up the heaviest burden, and others will not say anything more.

Chen Yuan could hear what the caravan shopkeeper was talking to the horse bandits outside.

I saw two people stop fifty paces in front of the camp, and the man shouted, "May I ask which hill friend is it?" I am Wang Lun of Shaanxi, who often walks this road, if any of the masters are short of some silver taels, you don't have to do it, and just say it below! I also hope that you will report a mountain, so as not to hurt the harmony. ”

The sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the camp, and the horse bandits did not answer at first, and only after waiting for a while did someone say: "The king's treasurer's name has heard of it again in the morning, and he has long wanted to make friends." It's just that it's not the right time to report to the mountain! Since it is the king's shopkeeper who comes forward, I don't want to do it, so let's hand over one person, and I will let you go right away, how about it? ”

Wang Lun said: "No matter what, Wang Lun is grateful if he is willing to sell this face to me!" Who are you looking for? What does Zhang look like? ”

The leader of the bandits said, "His name is Eloh Rin, and as for what he looks like, here is a portrait below, and the king's treasurer can take it." ”

As he spoke, a painting scroll flew towards Wang Lun. In the dark night, the scroll came very fast, and if Chen Yuan was allowed to stand there, he would definitely be smashed.

But Wang Lun waved his hand very chicly, copied the scroll in his hand, hugged his fists and said to the horse bandit leader: "The big boss will go in and find it in a moment." ”

The bandit agreed: "Yes, I'll give you a stick of incense." Come on, light incense. ”

Everyone heard their conversation, and everyone looked at the people next to them, trying to find out Jerüne Gollum and send it to the bandits.

Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Yelu Nee and grunted: "Ninth Prince, looking for you." ”

Yelu Gollum's face showed a ruthless color: "I knew that if Yelu Shubao did not die, he would definitely not let me go back safely!" ”

Chen Yuan sat down and took a deep breath: "Do you know what I'm thinking? ”

Yelune grunted and smiled: "Brother Chen won't want to hand me over, right?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "I have this idea." ”

Yelune grunted and shook her head: "You'd better not think like this, otherwise you will die immediately when you arrive in Yanjing, and I guarantee that your death will be ugly." ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "It's still the same sentence, don't scare me, if I don't hand you over, maybe I won't be able to get to Yanjing at all." I'll die an ugly death in Yanjing, at least I can still choose to go or not go after those horse bandits are gone. ”

Yelu Gollum finally understood that Chen Yuan was not frightened, and his tone immediately softened: "Brother Chen, you said that my safety is wrapped in you!" I promise you, if we arrive in Yanjing safely, I will give you what you want, you have to do a deal, I will help you! If you want money, just say the amount! ”

Chen Yuan still shook his head: "I said that your safety is wrapped in me, but I didn't promise you that I would guarantee your safety." You can't say anything now, and I'm never going to fight for an empty promise. I make money to make my life better, but if I don't even have my life, what do I need money for? ”

While the two men were holding each other, a torch struck them and shook them in the faces. Chen Yuan didn't wait for others to see it clearly, so he shouted at Wang Lun not far away: "The shopkeeper Wang, don't look for it, the person is here!" ”

Wang Lun ran over in a few steps, took the portrait and looked at it, and then looked at Yelu Nie Gollum, and finally determined that it was this person.

Yelu Gollum slowly stood up, Wang Lun frowned: "You are Yelu Gollum?" ”

"Yes."

"You're hurt?"

"Hmm."

Wang Lun said: "It's not easy for us to take a trip, no matter what grievances you have, I can't affect all the caravans here, and I don't want to offend anyone." Don't blame us, you heard it all just now, they asked us to hand it over. ”

Yelu Ne nodded: "I heard it, the shopkeeper handed me over, I won't resent you, but I'm worried that your business in Liao Kingdom may be affected in the future." ”

Wang Lun is obviously an old man, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry about it, we pay attention to a delicate business in business, and we won't hand you over to them in the future." Shall I give you a path now, and see the river behind me? Although the current is very fast, there is still hope to wade through. You go now, and I'll tell them you're running when you're halfway there. You don't have to worry about how we negotiate with them here. As for whether the prince can run away or not, there is nothing he can do below. ”

Gollum immediately understood that this was the only way to survive. Ping said not to mention this small river, even the Yellow River itself can swim through. But now that he has injuries on his body, he will definitely not be able to run away if he is alone.

Chen Yuan knew his predicament, but he didn't care about it at all, and immediately said, "Ninth Prince, don't hesitate, leave more time to escape." ”

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, Wang Lun's hand pointed at Chen Yuan: "Shopkeeper Chen, you guys also go!" ”

Chen Yuan's gloating expression froze on his face, and Wang Lun grabbed Chen Yuan's collar: "You caused the matter, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you are just a shopkeeper Chen, my brother will definitely fight side by side with you now, and he will definitely not do this." It is you who bring other things to everyone, we are only desperate for money, and please understand the shopkeeper Chen! ”

Chen Yuan was at a loss, and said for a moment: "The shopkeeper Wang, can you be accommodating?" ”

Before the words were finished, Wang Lun didn't speak, but someone from the other caravan shouted: "No! Can't let them stay here! ”

Wang Lun smiled: "Shopkeeper Chen, this is also what everyone means." ”

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, looked at Yelu Ne and said, "Okay, let's go together." ”
