So Chen Yuan rode on horseback along the way and walked side by side with Yelu Niegulu's carriage, hoping to find an opportunity to dispel Yelu Niegulu's suspicion of him.

Neither Chen Shimei nor Chen Yuan had ever set foot outside the frontier. In Chen Yuan's imagination, the scene outside the frontier should be a desolate desert that is uninhabited for thousands of miles.

But he was wrong. The border between the Song and Liao dynasties was not a desert. In this world more than a thousand years ago, the world outside the city still retained a mysterious and moving original appearance.

Especially in the border area where they live, due to the short population, groups of animals can be seen occasionally walking in the fields.

The terrain here is mostly low hills, or plains and open land, with lush trees and green mountains. The whole team walks on a quiet and lovely trail. If the 21st century travelers come, they will definitely linger here.

The strange peaks are presented, and the clever stones are listed. The forests are dense, and rare birds and beasts are everywhere.

This charming scene made Chen Yuan secretly feel a pity. If it weren't for the concern, he would have brought Hu Jing to this fresh air for a few days, hunting, sleeping, and living like a fairy-like life.

Chen Yuan was fascinated by seeing it, but because he was fascinated, he was even more heartbroken.

It was not until the sky got dark that I discussed with other caravans and rested here tonight.

The other caravans immediately ran to discuss the camping place and their respective camps with Chen Yuan without giving instructions.

At the same time, people were sent to climb to the highest mountain and treetops nearby to observe the movements and movements far and near.

This journey is the most difficult, so everyone works together and be careful.

On the surface, everything seems peaceful and peaceful. Birds and beasts come to the river to drink water, and even mingle with their mules and horses, enjoying the sweet fairy stream of Huan Water.

The camp is also very particular. It leans on a small river to tie the camp by the river, then brings branches and debris from the surrounding area to simply enclose the camp.

After the branches and debris, the caravans' goods were placed into a second line of defense, which could not only prevent horse bandits from attacking, but also block some wind.

Then, nearly two thousand people raised many bonfires on the ground, sat around them, sang, drank, and barbecue together.

Chen Yuan and Yelu Niegulu sat in front of a bonfire and poured him a glass of wine: "Nine Prince, can you bear it after a day of bumpy today?"

Yelu Nie smiled bitterly: "I never thought that I could not even sit in a carriage for a day."

Chen Yuan laughed: "Do you know when I remember you the most?"

Yelu Neglu shook his head: "I don't know, let me hear it."

Chen Yuan looked up at Xingxing and smiled and said, "It was the time you were going to kill me in my room. You sat quietly on my bed. I was very surprised, how did you get in? Even if I didn't notice it at that time, Han Qi should have seen you."

Yelu Niegulu laughed: "I went in through the window against the wall, that is, the one that jumped out from behind Han Qi."

Chen Yuan suddenly realized: "Oh, I said! Who can avoid my trap? You are the only one who is the Ninth Prince."

Yelu Niegulu asked at this time: "Brother Chen, based on your talent, you can get a good reputation. Why do you have to do business?"

Chen Yuan knew that he would definitely ask this question along the way. Whether he could dispel his doubts was very critical.

The wording has been thought of, and Chen Yuanyi smiled and said, "Prince, I will give you some reasons why I won't be an official. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Yelu Niegulu smiled and raised his hand: "Please speak."

Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed his first finger: "First of all, officials treat food every day, which looks very glorious. In fact, wine and meat harm the body. Moreover, if others treat food, they will move their chopsticks a few times. Over time, not only the stomach, but also the body will slowly collapse."

Yelu Niegulu nodded: "Well, this is the truth. Are there any other reasons?"

Chen Yuan stretched out his second finger: "Second, if the official is a small person, he will be angry, and if the official is a big person, he will be accompanied the king as if he is a tiger. If he is not good enough, he will be killed. If he is guilty, he will be happy. If he is innocent, he will not care about it, but he will implicate his family."

When he said this second reason, Hu Jing's hand suddenly stopped and he was in a state of stagnation.

Chen Yuan did not notice it at all, but Pang Xi coughed gently, and then asked for Yelu Niegu: "Shopkeeper, are there any other reasons?"

Chen Yuan said: "Thirdly, although I am not a gentleman, I am not too bad. If I go deep into the officialdom, someone will inevitably tempt me. If I become a bad person and be scolded, wouldn't it be worth it?"

Without waiting for others to ask, he continued: "Fourth, I am so free to do business. If I do it well, I can let my wife and children have rich food and food, and I can also make others envy me. It is much more free than those officials. I eat whatever I want and go wherever I want. As long as I don't violate the law of the king, I will be a house-scaping if anyone is annoyed. At least my life is still there. Ninth Prince, are you talking about these reasons enough?"
