Chapter 454: Returning to the City (I)
The woman had already stepped into the water, only exposing the area above her shoulders. Chen Ao sighed unsatisfactorily.
Long Qingping whispered, "You put so much effort into it just to peek at the woman taking a bath?"
Chen Ao waved his hand, and didn't reply: "Zi said, chromophobia." You know what!"
Long Qingping was really angry, snorted, and said, "I won't mess around with you, I'm going back to tell Sister Ling!"
Chen Ao only felt a gust of wind behind him, and immediately realized that he had angered Long Qingping. He didn't mean to, but as a normal man, it was really difficult to resist in the face of such a beautiful body.
He hurriedly turned back, only to see that Long Qingping was gone. This really made Chen Ao anxious, not to mention that without Long Qingping's protection, could he go back the same way. Even if he can go back, if Long Qingping really tells Zhao Ling about his ugly things, it will be a huge turmoil.
Who knew that he was in a hurry, he was not careful, his feet slipped, and he almost fell into a deep pit. Chen Ao hurriedly grabbed the branch next to him, and although he didn't fall, he made a lot of movement. I only heard the girl in green clothes by the waterhole exclaiming, "What person!"
The woman in the water was also startled, reached out to cover her chest, and looked back. Of course, the two of them couldn't see Chen Ao, because Chen Ao was already scared. The two could only see a figure looming among the trees, running farther and farther away.
Chen Ao ran all the way until he couldn't hear the sound of running water at all, and then he stopped to catch his breath. However, his running attracted the attention of several dark sentinels in the woods. Immediately, someone shouted in Khitan dialect: "What people!"
Chen Ao only heard the roar of chirping, although he didn't understand what it meant, he also knew that it was the Liao army who discovered him. He didn't dare to think that his three-legged cat kung fu could beat those strong Khitans, and the only way was to slip away.
Chen Ao didn't know if Long Qingping had already gone away, so he had to run in the direction of Jizhou City. There was a sudden shouting sound behind him, and it was obvious that the Khitans had caught up.
Chen Ao was even more panicked and rushed out of the woods. However, when they arrived in the clearing, they immediately attracted the attention of the Liao army in several camps elsewhere. It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to be heard. Chen Ao secretly screamed in his heart, he has two legs, where can he run too fast on the horse's four legs?
He couldn't help but shout, "It's over, it's over...... I'm done......"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a "plop" sound behind me. Chen Ao looked back as he ran, only to see the man riding the horse behind him suddenly fall to the ground. The horse, which was unsteadfast, ran straight ahead, past him for a while before stopping.
Chen Ao was surprised and delighted. He knew that it was impossible for the Khitans to fall off their horses by themselves, that is, it must be Long Qingping who was secretly helping him. As he ran, he shouted, "Little Dragon Girl, Apple Girl......"
Long Qing Apple Ran stood not far away, but his face was not very good-looking. Chen Ao had no choice but to accompany the smiling face and explain that he was not lustful, but he was dizzy for a while.
I don't know if Long Qingping believes his nonsense, anyway, she always pulls her face. Not far away, someone chased after him, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, at least a group of cavalry. Chen Ao didn't have time to say anything, so he had to lead the horse that had lost its owner first, stepped on the horse's back at once, stretched out his hand to Long Qingping, and said, "Go back first!"
Long Qingping is not Liang Xiaoya after all, and she will not be willful. Although she looked unhappy, she still grabbed Chen Ao's arm, turned over and sat on the horse's back, and gently put her hands on Chen Ao's waist. Chen Ao clamped the horse's belly between his legs and urged the horse to gallop quickly.
Although the two of them rode together, their speed was much slower than that of their pursuers. But fortunately, they didn't go far, and they were only seven or eight miles away from Jizhou City. The horseback soon reached the sphere of influence of Jizhou City, and the group of pursuers obviously had scruples and didn't know whether to chase them any further. With such hesitation, Chen Ao and the others had already entered the place where the arrows of the Jizhou defenders could shoot. Even if you want to chase this time, you can't chase it anymore.
The Khitan soldiers had no choice but to turn their horses back. Chen Ao laughed, took a breath, and then informed the defenders of his identity, put down the hanging basket from the city tower, and the two entered the city.
The defenders had already sent back the news of Chen Ao's return to the city. After a while, Zhao Ling rushed over with a group of generals. It turned out that the two of them had been away for an hour or two, and they had already scared Zhao Ling and the others a lot. The Great War is imminent, and the Lord will be missing, which is a stabbing thing!
Several people met, and without waiting for Zhao Ling to speak, Long Qingping said angrily: "Ling...... Master Zhao, I have something to tell you!"
Chen Ao knew that she must be trying to tell the truth, so he hurriedly interjected: "Yes! We just went to the Liao army camp to reconnoitre, and sure enough, we got a lot of important information!"
Zhao Ling said with a straight face: "You are now the commander of the whole army, how can you do such a dangerous thing? If there is an accident, what will you do with the soldiers and civilians in this city?"
Long Qingping hurriedly said: "No......"
"Yes, yes...... You don't have to be so nervous, don't you have Xiaolong with me!" Chen Ao replied again, "Xiaolong has such a high martial arts, I naturally don't have to worry!, right?" he said, patting Long Qingping on the shoulder vigorously, and couldn't help but glance at her.
Helplessly, Long Qingping ignored Chen Ao's eyes and continued: "No! I want to say ......."
Zhao Ling looked at her with a strange expression, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Ao had no choice but to continue to interject: "She wants to tell you about our major discovery. She can't tell the little hairy child, so I'll tell you! We really have a major discovery this time......
In fact, Chen Ao didn't find anything, and he didn't even approach the Liao army camp. At this time, I had to briefly describe the content of the conversation between the two women. In this way, I really found a clue.
First of all, Empress Dowager Xiao brought the little emperor to the outside of the city, which is already certain. Moreover, the main forces of the Liao army were apparently also brought. On the side of Dingzhou, only a part of the troops were left to besiege the city. At the same time, the Liao army also wanted to design the assassination of the Dingzhou guards, so that Dingzhou could be chaotic without a fight. If Dingzhou and Hejian Mansion are lost, then the vast land north of Jizhou will all fall into the hands of the Liao army!
Hearing the news, the hearts of Zhao Ling and the guards began to become heavy. First, they didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xiao really had such great courage to take the main force to bypass the city garrisoned by the Song army and go directly south. Second, the two places between the Dingzhou River have become isolated cities, even if they want to rescue, they must break through the main force of the Liao army. And with only the people of Jizhou City, it is simply impossible. If Dingzhou is lost again, the Liao army will have no worries at that time, and will besiege Jizhou City with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai. Will Jizhou City still be able to hold on to it then?
Long Qingping saw that everyone couldn't take care of her, and she had an empty stomach, but she couldn't find anyone to say, so she couldn't help but be even more depressed, stomped her feet, glared at Chen Ao, and turned around to leave. Chen Ao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, why is this little girl so angry? I haven't seen anything!
