As far as archery was concerned, the two of them were already too close to each other, so it wouldn't be a problem for Chen Mubai to protect himself. However, if Ban Chao wanted to shoot his wife and children, he wouldn't be able to stop him even if he wanted to. He looked back at his wife and son, then hardened his heart and said, "My lord, I shouldn't live anymore. You want my life, so I'll give it to you."

Ban Chao's face sank and said coldly, "I thought you were a peerless hero, I didn't expect you to be so fond of your wife and son, dying just like that. How can you be so nostalgic?"

Chen said with his head held high, "Heroes from ancient times do not have beautiful looks, but I am willing to not be a hero for beautiful looks. You don't need to say anything more. The arrow is in your hands. As long as you agree to let my family go, I'll let you handle it. "

Ban Chao pondered for a moment and said, "A promise from a gentleman is worth a thousand gold coins. I promised you, don't go back on your word. "

Chen Mu looked back at his wife and saw her looking at him nervously. He could not help but feel sad. "Don't worry about me." With that, he broke the longbow and fell onto the snow.

The woman, on the other hand, urged the carriage towards them. "Brother Mu, I won't leave. If you want to die, we'll all die together! "Even if I were to go to hell, I will go with you."

While they were talking, Yin Ping had already rushed back with her child. After getting off the carriage, he grabbed a child from each of his hands. It seemed that he didn't want to run away.

"Why do you need to suffer?" Chen Mu sighed. He knew his wife was tough and would not easily change her mind, so he said, "At least let Yu'er and Little Shuang live!"

Chen Shuang pointed at Ban Chao and said, "Dogman, if you dare to kill my father, my brother will definitely kill you!"

"Don't be ridiculous, don't you hear what your father said? Your archery skills can kill a rabbit, but how can you kill him? "

Chen Ying said loudly, "I can't kill him now, but one day, I will!"

Although they were at the same age, Chen Shuang was outspoken and straightforward. Chen Yu appeared to be more calm and her tone was sharper, "If I don't die, then I will make this man die a thousand times over!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Nu was angered. "He is from the heavens, and you are also Chinese children. How can you kill him? Hurry up and leave! "

With tears in her eyes, Yin Ping said, "What benefits did the Emperor give you that day? Are you still thinking about your homeland?"

Ban Chao smiled. "You are indeed not a Huns nor Lou Lan's man. You are a citizen of China!" If you want to kill me and take revenge for my revenge, then you should listen to your father and keep your lives. Only then will you have the chance to do so. Now that your family has returned, not only will your father die, even you will die! "

Chen Xie was shocked. "You said you'd let them go. Don't tell me you're a shameless person? "Then I was mistaken. I don't believe that Lord Ban is such a person."

Ban Chao sneered, "That depends on whether you keep your promise or not! Die! "

At such a close distance, Chen Mu could no longer avoid it. The woman let out a surprised cry, but the two children were already staring with their eyes wide open, their hands holding onto the bowstring, not knowing if they should shoot the arrow or not.

Just as he was hesitating, the treasure sword flashed in front of Chen Mu, spinning in a circle in the air, then suddenly plummeted down, plunging into the snow in front of Cheng Xie Ma with a thud. It was more than a foot deep into the ground, the sword body was still trembling, and Chen Mu was slightly shocked, but then he saw Ban Chao laughing out loud, "Good warrior, count yourself lucky for yourself, I forgot that Xie Xie's sword has intelligence, if it leaves its owner, it will only kill evil people, not good people. You can leave with your wife and children. "

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment before he turned his horse in silence. Yin Ping was shocked, and was just about to rejoice, when Chen Yu actually ran over and picked up the evil sword, but he was still young, so he couldn't lift it. He could only point at Ban Chao and said, "You're unarmed now, so I'll kill you first, so that you won't regret it when the time comes."

Chen Mu stopped her. "Yu'er, what are you doing? He has already let our family off. Don't be rude to our lord!"

Yin Ping walked forward and said, "What kind of reputation did these people have? I don't believe him! "

Ban Chao laughed, "I did not break my promise. You guys are the ones who are not keeping their promise. Since your husband has already been defeated, you should leave obediently. I have been kind enough to let you off, but you want to repay my kindness with your hatred."

"The class lord is indeed different from the others!" Chen Mu hesitated for a moment before he took the sword from his chest. He walked up to Ban Chao Ma, picked up the sword with both hands, and kneeled on one knee. "Thank you, my lord, for not killing me. "Since I have already lost to you, I will let it go as it pleases."

Ban Chao jumped down from the horse and held Chen Min up with both hands. He smiled and said, "You are indeed a man who keeps his word …" It just so happens that this is my first time in the Western Regions and I am unfamiliar with the place.

Seeing Chen Mu's troubled expression, Ban Chao said, "Of course, with your ability, being a counselor is a waste of your talent. As long as you do something great, I will guarantee your return to the court and serve the court."

Chen Mu shook his head. "My family is grateful for the kindness of not killing you. How could we dare to ask for anything else? If there really is a request, then I just need the lord to agree to one thing. "

"Go ahead!"

Chen Gu thought for a moment. "After the mission is completed, I just want to remain in the Western Regions with my wife and children. I absolutely do not wish to return to the Imperial Court for the rest of my life."

Ban Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he laughed, "Could it be that you used to be an official of the imperial government? Otherwise, why would they not want to return to the dynasty when they have committed the crime of deceiving the monarch? "

"Brother Muyi …" The woman looked nervous, and Ban Chao guessed there was something behind it.

Chen Mu nodded at Yin Ping. "Master Ban Chao is a righteous man. Since he has spared my life, he will not bully me." "In the end, we were the ones who let down the emperor …"

"What exactly is going on? "Tell me, I promise I will not mention this to a second person, much less to the Emperor."

Chen Mu pondered for a while before letting out a long sigh. "Sigh, if I've judged the wrong person today, then I'll have to admit my mistake as well!" However, if sire were to speak of this matter to the emperor, I would be guilty of the nine familial extermination. Your Excellency, I think you look a bit familiar. May I ask what relationship Your Excellency has with Ban Gu? "

Ban Chao laughed, "Ban Gu is my brother, and is a subject with me."

Chen Mu nodded. "No wonder they look so similar. I wonder how many years you've been serving in the court, do you know Sir Fu?"

Ban Chao laughed again, "Lord Fu is a hero of the world. He has always been on good terms with my brother and me, so how can I not recognize him? "Brave warrior, I also see that you look very familiar. Could it be that you are one of Lord Fu's subordinates?"

Chen Mu nodded. "That's right, I am Chen Mu, a swordsman under Lord Fu's tutelage. Ten years ago, I had a half encounter with your Ben brothers, but when I was among the guards, I thought that Lord Fu did not notice. Until later, when my master and Ban Gu wrote a book together and got to know each other a lot, I had a deep impression of Master Ban Gu, but you and I have never seen each other again. "Who would've thought that even to this day, my lord's talent and intelligence still find me familiar …"

Ban Chao smiled but remained silent. He thought to himself, "If that is the case, then he is indeed a Chinese citizen, but I don't know what crime he has committed. He has been living in a foreign land for almost ten years, but he still doesn't dare to return to court even though he has married and had children."

After some thought, Ban Chao suddenly remembered something: could it be that Chen Mi was the one who had sent out an envoy to the Da Yue family to seek the Buddha, and now that he had learnt the art of immortality, he had purposely concealed it?
