  If Chen Yuan was given another two months, he could get more money and bring down the entire economy of Liao! However, as things developed, Chen Yuan realized that if he didn't adopt a strategy of winning a little at a time, all his bets might be taken back by the other side in one go.

  Chen Yuan's eyes took a glance at Pang Xi, to be honest, he was now unsure if things really went wrong, whether Pang Xi would give himself the opportunity to flee. So he didn't put his hopes on Pang Xi, in case things didn't go well, he would immediately take action and get rid of him first!

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan whispered in Hu Jing's ear: "Things aren't too bad yet, I have a way."

  Things aren't too bad, Chen Yuan had told himself this several times today already.

  He said it again and let go of Hu Jing, looking at Wang Lun: "Brother Wang, brothers are for brothers, business is for business. How about we split the 100,000 six to four?"

  Wang Lun burst out laughing: "Brother Chen is indeed a businessman, still thinking about the 64 shares at this time. If I say 55, will you agree?"

  Wang Lun is just a joke, Chen Yuan will not split the bill with him: "No way, 60% is my bottom line, Brother Wang should know that this price is very reasonable. I'm telling Brother Wang clearly, the Empress Dowager of Liao is also eyeing me, so the situation is more complicated than you think. If Brother Wang wants to leave now, I'll give him the money immediately and won't stop him."

  Wang Lun had not said anything yet when Li Tie Gun slammed the iron spear in his hand to the ground: "Chen Shi Mei! This is looking down on us brothers!"

  Wang Lun said to Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, money is unimportant. What's important is where one's sense of justice lies. That's what Tie Gun meant, and that's what I mean too."

  Chen Yuan was very grateful to these people, he knew why Wang Lun did this. He himself was stimulated by Xiao Xue's death, while Wang Lun and others who had been running goods for many years must have been stimulated to the point of numbness.

  He nodded gratefully at Wang Lun. At this time, one person staying would give Chen Yuan a bit of strength, and one person leaving would take away a bit of his confidence.

  Wang Lun and the others all stayed behind. Chen Yuan could only express his gratitude. He patted Wang Lun on the shoulder: "Alright, let Hu Jing go first, we'll stay here and have a game with these Liao people and Tanguts! Although things didn't go as planned, it's not too bad after all, because I never thought they'd follow our betting pattern."

  Wang Lun finally walked up to Hu Jing: "Miss Hu, I'll write down an address for you. After you get back, would you mind sending that copy to the address?"

  Hu Jing nodded, but her eyes were on Chen Yuan, clearly implying that she was waiting for Chen Yuan to arrange a sum of money for him.

  Chen Yuanwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, if things can't be done, I'll escape immediately. Later, I'll go find you and bring my sword to travel the world with me. If we're really unlucky, divide the 50,000 into three parts. Send 20,000 to my parents, wife, and children in my hometown. Leave 20,000 for Lianhua and the shopkeeper. Take 10,000 and don't come out to run the rivers and lakes again."

  Chen Yuan suddenly asked: "By the way, can you tell me what it's called?"

  Hu Jing's mouth opened and closed, seemingly hesitant. Her real name was rarely mentioned to others, except for Han Qi, she originally thought that Pang Xi and the others didn't know about it. It wasn't until that time when Pang Xi had a deep conversation with her that she found out that Pang Ji had actually given an order to kill her long ago.

  Chen Yuan saw Hu Jing's hesitant expression and shook his head with a sigh: "If you don't want to say, it doesn't matter. Actually, it has nothing to do with me, because whatever you call me, I like it all the same."

  Hu Jing finally opened her mouth, just as she was about to say her own name, when suddenly the sound of Ye Lü Bi Ruo's voice came from the doorway: "Sir! I've brought the person here!"

  Chen Yuan responded with a sound: "Oh, let Manager Pang take him to the side room. He must come to my room for a visit. I have some things to discuss with him."

  Yelü Bixiu handed over the letter of impeachment to Pang Xi without hesitation and walked towards Chen Yuan with big strides.

  Chen Yuan whispered to Hu Jing: "Let's go, take care."

  Hu Jing stretched out her hand to pull Chen Yuan, but it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and a smile was squeezed out on her face: "I'll wait for you in Bianjing."

  Chen Yuan led Yelü Biri into the room and immediately asked: "How was it? What did those Jurchens say?"

  Yelü Deguang smiled and said, "As you expected, they were initially disappointed when they heard that things were troublesome, but after hearing that we are still making an effort, those Jurchen people sent someone to convey a message, saying that they are very grateful and if the matter is successful, they will necessarily follow our arrangements."

  Chen Yuan said: "That's good, I think it would be more suitable for me to go see them in a few days?"

  This matter actually didn't require Chen Yuan to discuss with Yelü Bori, he just needed enough excuses to drag Yelü Bori into this room, in order to buy enough time for Wang Lun to arrange Hu Jing and Zhang Kuangzheng's departure outside.

  Yelü Biri said with great embarrassment: "This, how would a humble person like me know? I only saw the Ninth Prince when I came, and the Ninth Prince asked me to inform Lord Chen that tomorrow Li Yuanhao will propose to the Emperor and set a wedding date with the Princess."

  Chen Yuans heart was greatly shocked, Li Yuanhao brought forward the proposal that should have been made three days later to tomorrow, obviously related to todays events. He now eagerly wants to establish his identity as the Liao States imperial son-in-law, possibly to make it more convenient for himself when dealing with others.

  Li Yuanhao is really formidable, at least he doesn't look down on himself like Yelü Renshi did. He has managed to value himself in tactics, but does he despise himself in strategy? Chen Yuan doesn't know and doesn't need to know.

  Yelü Deguang stamped his foot: "The Ninth Prince also said that after Li Yuanhao's proposal is settled tomorrow, they will prepare to fight with the people of Beifu in the imperial court the day after tomorrow. So they want you to persuade those Jurchen people quickly."

  Chen Yuan shook his head immediately: "No way, things have changed, Li Yuanhao just came over."

  Yelü Bixiu's face immediately showed a look of surprise: "Ah! So Li Yuanyu is advancing the marriage, it's very likely that he wants to form an alliance with Yelü Renshi first?"

  Chen Yuan sighed and said, "Yes, judging from his recent activities which have been very close to the Northern Court, it's definitely him."

  If Chen Yuan were Li Yuanhao, he would also choose to ally with Yelü Renshi now. First of all, because the Northern Court has been in charge of military affairs against the Tanguts for many years, if they can establish a relationship with the Northern Court, it will only be beneficial for the development of the Tangut people in the future.

  It's also because of the princess. Li Yuanhao didn't want to wear the hat given by Chen Yuan back to Dangxiang, so he had to get rid of Chen Yuan before he left. Relying on Beiyuan seemed to be Li Yuanhao's only choice now.

  Yelü Biri was stunned for a long time, and this unexpected turn of events was not even thought of by Yelü Zhongyuan. Li Yuanhao himself was the king of the Tanguts, and if he joined the Northern Court's camp, it would make Liao Xingzong consider more when dealing with Yelü Renshi.

  Now Yelü Bixue also understood why Li Yuanyang was in such a hurry to propose.

  Yelü Renshi might just take the initiative and strike first!

  His heart was filled with anxiety: "What can be done? No, I must tell the Duke of Nan about this matter now."

  As he was about to turn and leave, Chen Yuan suddenly called out to him: "Wait a minute, I have an idea, help me tell the Grand King of Nan Institute."

  Yelü Deguang stopped him: "Lord Chen, please speak, I will definitely pass on your words."

  Chen Yuan adjusted his thinking. Since the enemy had changed, he must also change accordingly and absolutely could not follow the previous steps. Rumors were rumors after all, even if Chen Yuan did a lot of things in the back to make this rumor come true, but the other party might not give him the opportunity to make every move.

  The struggle in the imperial court is really exhausting. Although it shares some similarities with the struggles in the business world, there are too many subtle differences. The most crucial thing is that the business world still follows a certain set of rules. Even if you cheat someone out of their money, you have to make them believe you first.

  However, the imperial court is different, and everything is used to the extreme. For example, Chen Yuan's abduction of Xiao Lingdi, for example, Li Yuankui suddenly proposed an early marriage now.

  Chen Yuande couldn't help but admire Li Yuanhao, who hadn't even made a move yet. With just a simple gesture, he had forced Chen to change his entire rhythm!

  Change it, Chen Yuan looked at Yelü Deguang and was about to say something when a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: "No! If Yelü Rennan's counterattack is fierce because he has deep roots in Yanjing, then what can Li Yuangui rely on for such composure? Things are absolutely not that simple!"

  The struggle of Liao State was still ongoing, and on the second day early in the morning, Song Qi left.

  Song Qi left Bianjing with an unprecedented sense of loss. His mission had failed, and tomorrow, when Li Yuanneng would propose to Emperor Xingzong of Liao on behalf of the Tanguts and Khitans, they would form an alliance to counter the Song Dynasty.

  Song Qi has no chance of turning over. Rather than continuing to waste time here, it's better to go back and inform the Song Dynasty army that war is about to break out.

  Although the negotiations between the two sides have broken down, before the war begins, necessary courtesy must still be observed. Song Qi left, and Liao State had to send someone to escort him out.

  It was Yelü Nügu who took on this task. Since the Southern Court was a department that had been in charge of dealing with the Song Dynasty for many years, it was clear that there was no disrespect in having Yelü Nügu send off Song Qi.

  Chen Yuan also came. Logically, he is now the Tongshi of Beiyuan and doesn't need to come to see off Song Qi. However, everyone knows about his relationship with Yelü Nüwulu now, so it's not surprising that he came, and those people from Beiyuan didn't even bother to look at him.

  Riding on horseback, Yang Yi repeatedly turned his head to gaze at Chen Yuan. He still didn't know that Zhang Kuang had already left Yanjing and was very worried in his heart. Although Chen Yuan also made a hint with his eyes towards him, the tacit understanding between them was far from being able to communicate through eye contact alone.

  Yelü Niugu just rode alongside Chen Yuan, unable to give Yang Yi a clear signal. Chen Yuan could only put the matter aside, anyway, when Yang Yi returned to Bianjing, he would know.

  Yelü Nügu said: "Brother Chen, Father Emperor told me about yesterday's events. I think it's a bit risky to suddenly change plans now."

  Chen Yuan furrowed his brow: "The Ninth Prince has spoken clearly."

  Yelü Deguang lowered his head and said, "I always feel that we should follow the previous steps, which is relatively more stable. You know, I have planned for a long time to reach this step."

  "But we have never included the Party's plans in it."

  Yelü Nu'er still insisted on his opinion: "Even if a Li Yuangui emerges, there's no need to be nervous. Although our preparations were hasty, Yelü Renshi's preparations were even more hasty!"

  Chen Yuan looked at him: "I thought so too, but how do we know that Li Yuanhao didn't come prepared to set off a fire in Yanjing? People say he came alone to Yanjing, with exceptional bravery. But I just don't believe it - if he didn't have powerful backing, would he gamble with his own life and the future of the party? If he didn't have an ace up his sleeve, what makes him think he can ally with Ye Lü Renxian now?"
