Chapter 83: The Guardian of the Border Pass

  ♂?,,

  Pang Xi immediately asked: "Can we use the order of Kaifeng Prefecture to let those Datong officials and soldiers cooperate with us in the inspection? As long as he doesn't leave the city, it won't take a night, and we can definitely find them."

  Chen Yuan replied on behalf of Bai Yutang, "It's not that simple. Firstly, since the Ninth Prince dared to take this path, there must be someone waiting for him. Secondly, even if his identity is revealed and he is found, he cannot be killed, otherwise it will lead to war between the two countries."

  Bai Yutang nodded: "Shi Mei said it's right, Bao Daren also has such concerns. If we reveal our identities, many things can't be done with abandon. This way, as Jianghu people, pursuing and killing him will be much more convenient."

  It's convenient for a Jianghu person to take action, but once they need to investigate clues, it's obviously not as smooth as a constable.

  Chen Yuan looked at Pang Xi, after all, this trip was completed by the two of them together. If they wanted to stir up some trouble here, they had to discuss it first.

  Pang Xi nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed to help. Chen Yuan then stood up: "Yutang, what can we do for you?"

  "We're having trouble now that we've entered the city and can't find any trace of Yelü Niegulu," said Bai Yutang. "Brother Chen, this matter has come up suddenly and our manpower is already insufficient. Now that the trail has been cut off, I'm really at a loss. I know you have many ideas, Brother Chen - can you think of a way to pick up Yelü Niegulu's trail?"

  As a transmigrator, even if he hadn't been a catcher before, Chen Yuan could guarantee that the number of police and bandit movies he had watched was absolutely more than the number of thieves Zhao caught. A way would definitely be found.

  Chen Yuan thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "What kind of person is Yelü Nuo Gulou?"

  Bai Yutang had not spoken yet, when Pang Xi immediately said: "That person is sinister and cunning, and has a very big gall."

  Pan Xi's conclusion was similar to that of Na Lu Yi, and Bai Yutang also nodded: "It is indeed so, Shi Mei. Do you remember when he caught us at Xiangguo Temple? We searched for a long time but couldn't find him. It wasn't until after he left that we found out he had been hiding in the palm of a Buddha statue."

  Chen Yuan was also shocked, he asked himself, the Buddha statue in front of him had people coming and going every day without stopping, others would never think that Ye Lu would hide in such a place.

  Chen Yuan looked into Bai Yutang's eyes, then glanced at Pang Xi, and asked: "If you two were in Datong, is there a Buddha that could hide him?"

  Pang Xi didn't react for a moment: "There aren't any temples around Datong, are there? With the war raging on year after year, people here believe in knives."

  Bai Yutang's eyes lit up: "This, Shimei, is it suspicious of the military camp?"

  Chen Yuan poured a cup of tea and said after taking a sip: "I'm not suspicious, I'm 70% sure he's inside the military camp."

  Bai Yutang thought for a moment: "It seems to make some sense, if no one had received him, how could he have suddenly disappeared after entering the city? However, we can't reveal our identities, even if we know he's in the military camp, we can't go in and search."

  "Yutang, can you get in touch with the garrison at Datong?"

  Bai Yutang nodded: "This is no problem, Lord Bao give me a token, at the critical moment, can contact with any garrison in the Song Dynasty, only this matter if the army to act, it will be even more inconvenient."

  Chen Yuan said, "Yes, they can't conveniently chase and kill Yelü Niegulu as a rapid cavalry unit. The army also can't plaster up notices all over the city to search for him. However, searching for other things should be possible, right? For example, investigating one or two escaped soldiers, or one or two ordinary bandits?"

  Bai Yutang suddenly understood and his worries were greatly alleviated. He laughed and said, "Shi Mei, I knew you wouldn't make a mistake in coming to find me. That little scoundrel's idea was to come quickly. So what do we do now?"

  Chen Yuan beckoned with his hand, and Bai Yutang leaned in to listen. Chen Yuan said, "Now, let's spread some rumors that the garrison at Datong is hiding Liao bandits, and some of the generals are secretly colluding with Liao, accepting bribes. We'll create a reason for the garrison to search, and then Yutang can go find the general in charge of Datong and ask him to help us out secretly. That way, we can force Ye Lü Nu'er out."

  Bai Yutang nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Yes, once they want to investigate, Jian Xi will definitely be in a hurry to send the person away or transfer them to another location. No matter what, as long as he makes a move, things will become easier."

  Pang Xi listened and also thought that Chen Yuan's plan was indeed good, it could help Bai Yutang to force the person out, and also not let the merchant team get involved in this conflict. He admired Chen Yuan's quick thinking in his heart, and naturally he also hoped that the merchant team would be safe all the way. He made a fist at Bai Yutang: "Brother Bai, the guardian of Datong, Song Guang, is a disciple of Taishi, although Taishi has lost power now, but there are still some thin faces. We happen to want to find Song Guang out of the pass, how about this? If Brother Bai doesn't mind, we'll go to Song Guang's military camp together?"

  Bai Yutang was overjoyed, although he had the token of authority from Kaifeng Prefecture, this was after all a border region. If the garrison commander refused to give Bao Zheng face and gave him some superficial work instead, there really wasn't much he could do about it.

  Song Guang, he was able to sit in this general's position mainly because he gave a lot of money to many officials. The whole border knows that Song Guang, this general, is actually bought.

  Of course, he also gave money to Pong Ki. He and Pong Ki were not very close before, but after Pong Ki lost power, those smarter generals quickly changed their allegiance, only Song Guang stuck with him, sending a letter from Datong to ask about his well-being.

  Because of that letter, he was also impeached by Ouyang Xiu. However, Renzong ignored Ouyang Xiu. Also because of that letter, the attitude of Grand Master Pang towards Song Guang was extremely good, and he recognized Song Guang as his godson.

  From this action, Chen Yuan knew that if this person was not too stupid, then he must be too clever.

  Song Guang had already known they were coming, but he was surprised by Bai Yutang's arrival. After hearing Pang Xi explain the purpose of Bai Yutang's visit, Song Guang agreed to cooperate with him and patted his chest, saying: "Don't worry, White Guard, now that the city gate is closed, even the ninth prince of Liao can't get out. Let's not be in a hurry, tomorrow I will search all the military camps and the city, and say that two Khitan spies escaped tonight, how about that?"

  Bai Yutang clasped his fists in gratitude: "Thank you, General, for your assistance. Don't worry, as soon as we investigate, Ye Lü Nu'er will definitely show up. At that time, there's no need for you to take action, we guarantee that we'll kill him."

  Song Guang and Bai Yutang discussed some details of the cooperation, and they agreed that once they found the trail of Yelü Niegulu, the government troops would be responsible for keeping watch, and Bai Yutang and others would come to kill him.
