Chapter 107: Reasons for Improper Officials
The horse is really not fun, Chen Yuan could not come out of the room until noon the next day, when he was about to have lunch, and he had to hold on to the stairs when he walked, and his legs still trembled from time to time.
Sitting downstairs, Yelu Gollum and Pang Xi were talking about something, and when they saw this, they both laughed.
Chen Yuan walked to the table and sat down, looking at the eyes of the two: "What are you laughing at?" β
Yelu Ne grunted and said, "Brother Chen, you were just one night yesterday, why did you look like this?" Originally, I was going to ask you to try the woman of our Liao Kingdom after arriving in Yanjing, but now it seems, hehe. β
Jerion said this, and said no more. But the meaning behind his words is understood by all men.
Of course, Chen Yuan would not admit defeat in this kind of thing, and immediately said: "I am practicing a word horse!" Don't talk nonsense. β
Pang Xi and Yelu Ne glanced at each other, and the two of them said at the same time: "Oh, it turns out that I practiced a word horse." β
From the expressions of the two, Chen Yuan understood what they meant, and immediately said: "I really practiced a word horse practice!" β
The two of them said at the same time: "Oh, it turns out that it is really practiced by a word horse!" β
Chen Yuan knew that they wouldn't believe what he said, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, took a plate of braised pork and ate it himself.
As soon as he took the first bite, Bai Yutang came in from outside, and asked Chen Yuan in the first sentence: "Brother Chen, what happened last night?" β
Chen Yuan was puzzled: "Last night? What's wrong? β
Bai Yutang said very casually: "I seemed to hear you calling in the inn in the barracks last night, did something happen?" β
Chen Yuan looked left and right with his eyes, and found that Pang Xi and Yelu Gollum were both with their heads down, and their shoulders couldn't help shaking.
He immediately asked Bai Yutang very seriously: "Yutang, I said that I am practicing a word horse, do you believe it?" β
Bai Yutang smiled: "You are a fool for me?" Three watches in the middle of the night, do you practice a word horse? Really, you're not that kind of person. β
Chen Yuan didn't explain anymore, lowered his head, and picked up the plate of braised pork: "I'll go upstairs to eat, you can laugh if you want." β
As soon as he turned around, Pang Xi let out a laugh, and then JerΓΌne Gollum laughed too.
Chen Yuantou didn't know, and went back to the room with the dishes.
Three days later, there were seven caravans all the way to Liao, and the charioteers and men together had more than 1,800 people, which was enough to ensure that those small bandits would not dare to disturb them.
So, Chen Yuan embarked on the road to Yanjing.
Now his mood is completely different from that in Datong. At that time, he only helped LΓΌ Yijian and Pang Ji to complete the task of sowing discord between the Liao State and the party members.
Although it is said that it is dangerous to be in danger after the mission fails, if you find a remote place to hide, it should still be possible. At least, if you can't do it, you can choose to stay in Liao and not return to the Great Song Dynasty.
Now it's completely different, this mission has become extremely dangerous, Yelu Gollum is by his side, Yang Wenguang is also in his team, the addition of these two masters makes Chen Yuan can only fight to do things to the best result, otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to tolerate himself, and the Liao Kingdom will not have a foothold.
Gollum must have been suspicious of herself, but he couldn't figure out what her purpose was. If he is allowed to bring his suspicions to the Liao Kingdom, it will be over.
Therefore, Chen Yuan rode on a horse and walked side by side with Yelune's carriage all the way, trying to find an opportunity to dispel Yelune's suspicions about him.
Neither Chen Shimei nor Chen Yuan had ever set foot outside the Saiwai, and in Chen Yuan's imagination, the scene outside the Saiwai should be a desolate desert with no one for thousands of miles.
But he was wrong, the Song-Liao border was not a desert, and in this world more than a thousand years ago, the world outside the city still preserved its mysterious and moving original appearance.
Especially in the border area like theirs, because there are few people, you can sometimes see groups of animals roaming in the wilderness.
The terrain here is mostly low hills, or plains, with lush forests and green mountains. The whole team walked on a quiet and lovely path, and if the 21st century travelers came, they would definitely linger here.
The strange peaks show off, the clever stones are listed, the forest is dense, and there are rare birds and beasts from time to time.
This charming scene made Chen Yuan secretly cry out in his heart that it was a pity, if it weren't for his concern, he took Hu Jing to live in this fresh air for a few days, hunting, sleeping and sleeping girls, and lived a fairy-like life.
Chen Yuan was fascinated, and because he was drunk, he was even more sad.
It wasn't until it got dark that I discussed with the other caravans and rested here tonight.
The other caravans didn't need to be instructed, and immediately came to discuss with Chen Yuan about the camping place and their respective camps.
At the same time, people were sent to climb the top of the highest mountain and treetops in the vicinity to observe the movement near and far.
This road is the most difficult to walk, so everyone works together and is extra careful.
On the surface, everything is peaceful, and occasionally birds and beasts come to the river to drink water, and even mingle with their mules and horses, enjoying the sweet fairy flow of the water.
The camp is also very well arranged, with the camp set up by the river by a small river, and then the branches and debris brought from the surrounding area to simply fence the camp.
After the branches and debris, the goods of each caravan were arranged as a second line of defense, which could not only prevent the horse bandits from sneaking up, but also keep out some wind.
Then, nearly 2,000 people set up many bonfires on the ground, sat in circles, singing, drinking, and barbecuing together.
Chen Yuan and Yelu Gollum sat in front of a bonfire and poured him a glass of wine: "Ninth Prince, after a bumpy day today, can you still stand it?" β
Jerune grunted bitterly, "I never thought that I would not even be able to ride in a carriage for a day. β
Chen Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Do you know which time I was most impressed by you?" β
Jerman grunted and shook her head: "I don't know, let's hear it." β
Chen Yuan looked up at the stars and said with a smile: "It's the time you were going to kill me in my room, you sat on my bed silently, I'm very strange, how did you get in?" Even if I didn't notice it at the time, then Han Qi should have seen you. β.
Yelune grunted, "I entered through the window against the wall, which is the one that jumped out behind Han Qi." β
Chen Yuan suddenly realized: "Oh, I said it! Who can avoid my traps? It's only you, the ninth prince. β
Yelu Gollum asked at this time: "Brother Chen, according to your intelligence, you can completely test for a meritorious name, why do you want to do business?" β
Chen Yuan knew that he would definitely ask this question along the way, and whether he could dispel his doubts was a crucial question.
The wording had already been thought of, and Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Prince, I'll give you a few reasons why I don't want to be an official, whether it's appropriate or not." β
Yelune smiled and raised her hand: "Please speak." β
Chen Yuan stretched out his first finger: "First of all, the official invites to eat every day, it looks very beautiful, but in fact, wine and meat hurt the body, and others invite to eat, whether it is suitable for appetite or not, you have to move the chopsticks a few times, and in the long run, not only the stomach, but also the body will slowly collapse." β
Jerman grunted and nodded, "Well, that's true, is there any other reason?" β
Chen Yuan stretched out his second finger: "Second, if the official is small, he is angry, and when the official is big, he is like a tiger, if he can't get it, he will be beheaded all over the house, if he deserves it, he will be happy, if he is innocent and wronged, he doesn't care, but it will affect his family." β
When he said this second reason, Hu Jing's hand suddenly froze, and the whole person was in a sluggish state.
Chen Yuan didn't notice it at all, but Pang Xi coughed lightly, and then asked for Yelu Negrune: "Shopkeeper, are there any other reasons?" β
Chen Yuan said: "Third, although I am not a righteous gentleman, I am not too bad. If I go deep into the officialdom, it is inevitable that someone will seduce me, and if I completely become a bad person and be scolded by others, wouldn't it be very worthwhile? β
didn't wait for others to ask again, he himself continued: "Fourth, I am more free to do business, if I do a good job, I can let my wife and children be clothed and fed, and I can also make others envy me, and I am much more free than those who are officials, I can eat whatever I want, and I can play wherever I want." As long as you don't violate the royal law, if you annoy anyone, you will at most be a copyist, at least your life is still there, the ninth prince, do you think my reasons are enough? β
Yelune immediately smiled, a little self-deprecating: "Hearing what you say, I want to do business with you." [bookid=2027266,bookname="The Universal Wife"]
