Chapter 108: Public anger is undeniable

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a shout from the vigilance from the outside: "Horse thief!"

Then, a scream came from the small hill next to him, and the person who was thinking of keeping a watch was killed by a horse thief.

The camp was suddenly a little panicked. Everyone knew that this road was difficult to walk, but they never expected that they were attacked by horse thieves the first night. In the midst of panic, someone shouted: "Extinguish the fire! Exhaust all the torches!"

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

Everyone extinguished 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 so many caravans formed a gang for safety, they could only serve as a deterrent to the small horse bandits. After all, the seven caravans expressed their intentions. When the real horse bandits rushed over to rob, these coachmen and friends were not enough to fight.

While Chen Yuan was thinking, he heard the voice just now saying: "Don't panic, everyone, guard the entrance ahead, don't worry about the goods on both sides. I'll go out now to see which bandits are and whether I can buy the way out with money. If not, I'll fight!"

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

Then he made a small voice and said to everyone around him: "Someone has stepped forward, let's see the situation first."

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

The man clasped his fists around and said, "Brother, I'm going, I hope you can keep this entrance tightly. If you can't negotiate, you will inevitably have a fierce battle."

Judging from his calm expression, he knew that he was a man who had been on the battlefield.

After saying that, the man left the camp with only a torch-mounted entourage. The caravan and others were in the camp and immediately began to organize defense.

Chen Yuan took his guys with his knives according to the position set up by the others.

To be honest, when these people set up their defensive formations, all the caravans had nothing to say, because they left the most dangerous place, which was the entrance, to themselves. Chen Yuan, the caravan, had a little more people, and was arranged next to them to support and protect.

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

Chen Yuanneng heard what the caravan shopkeeper said to the bandit outside.

I saw two people stopping fifty steps in front of the camp, and the man shouted loudly: "Which mountain is my friend? I am Wanglun, Shaanxi, and I often walk this road. If anyone in charge lacks some silver, don't have to do it. Just tell me! I hope you can report it to the mountain so as not to hurt the harmony."

A sound of horse hooves stopped in front of the camp. The bandits did not answer at first. After waiting for a while, someone said, "I have heard of the name of the shopkeeper Wang, and I have wanted to make friends with you for a long time. But today is not the time, so it is inconvenient to inform the mountain! Since it is Storekeeper Wang, I don't want to do it. This is how, you hand over one person and I will let you over immediately, how about it?"

Wang Lun said: "No matter what, I am willing to sell this face to me. Wang Lun is very grateful! I dare to ask who you are looking for? What is the look of Zhang?"

The leader of the bandit said, "His name is Yelu Niegulu. As for what Zhang looks like, here is a portrait that Manager Wang can take."

As he said that, a scroll flew towards Wang Lun. In the darkness, the scroll came very quickly. If Chen Yuan stood there, he would definitely be hit.

But Wang Lun waved his hand very casually, then copied the scroll in his hand, clasped his fists and said to the bandit leader: "I'll go in and look for it soon after the boss."

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

Everyone heard their conversation, and everyone was looking at the people next to them, trying to find Yelu Niegulu and send it to these horse bandits.

Chen Yuan turned to look at Yelu Niegulu: "Nine Prince, look for you."

Yelu Niegulu's face showed a ruthless look: "I knew that if Yelu Shubao was not dead, 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?"

Yelu Niegulu smiled far-fetchedly: "Brother Chen doesn't want to hand me over, right?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "I have this idea."

Yelu Niegulu shook his head: "You'd better not think like this, otherwise you will die soon when you arrive in Yanjing, and I promise that your death will be ugly."

Chen Yuan smiled: "The same thing, don't scare me. If I don't hand you over, I may not be able to reach Yanjing at all. It's ugly to die in Yanjing. At least I can choose to go after the horse bandits leave, or not."

Yelu Niegulu finally understood that Chen Yuan was not scared, and his tone immediately softened: "Brother Chen, you said that my safety is for you! I promise you that if we arrive in Yanjing safely, I will give you whatever you want, and if you want to do business, I will help you! If you want money, just talk about the number!"

Chen Yuan still shook his head: "I said that your safety is for me, but I did not promise you to guarantee your safety. No matter what you say now, I never work hard for a simple promise. I make money to make myself live better, but if I don't even have life, what else do I need to do?"

While the two were stalemate, a torch hit them and shook them on the faces. Before Chen Yuan could see clearly, he rushed to Wang Lun not far away and shouted: "Shopkeeper Wang, stop looking for him, people are here!"

Wang Lun ran over a few steps, took the portrait and looked at Yelu Niegulu again. Finally, he was sure that it was this person.

Yelu Niegulu slowly stood up, and Wang Lun frowned: "You are Yelu Niegulu?"

"yes."

"Are you injured?"

"Um."

Wang Lun said: "It is not easy for us to take a trip to goods. No matter what grudges you have, I cannot implicate 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 over the person."

Yelu Negulu nodded: "I heard that 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. He smiled and said, "No need to worry. We are a businessman who is very particular about being a delicate person. I will not give you to them. Now I will give you a way and see the river behind you? Although the water flows very fast, there is still hope to get there. You can go now, and when you are halfway through, I will tell them that you have run away. You don't have to worry about how we negotiate with them here. As for whether the prince can run away, I can't do anything."

Yelu Niegulu immediately understood that this was the only way to live. On weekdays, not to mention this small river, even the Yellow River can swim by itself. But now that there is a wound on your body, a person will definitely not be able to escape.

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

Chen Yuan had just finished speaking, and Wang Lun pointed his finger at Chen Yuan: "Shopkeeper Chen, you guys go too!"

Chen Yuan's gloating expression was stalemate on his face, and Wang Lun grabbed Chen Yuan's collar: "You caused it, don't blame me for being ruthless. If Manager Chen was just a simple sale, you will definitely fight with you now and will never do this. It is you who brought other things to everyone. We are just working hard for money, so please understand Chen!"

Chen Yuan was so dazed that he was at a loss and said for a moment: "Shopkeeper Wang, can you please be more comfortable?"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Lun didn't say anything, but someone from other caravans shouted: "No! You can't let them stay here!"

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