Chen Ao said firmly: "No! I can't stay in Daliao. I have to go back!"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, suddenly turned her head sideways, and seemed to say to someone behind her: "In vain, you did everything possible to help him say good things, he didn't care about you!"

Behind Empress Dowager Xiao was a screen, and at this time, Xiao Shuixian suddenly walked out from behind the screen. Chen Ao was stunned, and saw Xiao Shuixian's expression of loss, and there was some resentment in his eyes. He couldn't imagine that this somewhat arrogant girl would have such a look, and his heart couldn't help but soften. Chen Ao immediately understood that it must be Xiao Shuixian who said a lot of good things in front of the Empress Dowager Xiao in order to ease the relationship between him and the Empress Dowager Xiao. This made Empress Dowager Xiao decide to take the initiative to show favor and let him stay in Daliao.

Chen Ao immediately said: "Empress Dowager Xiao, we Han people have a saying that marrying a chicken is a chicken, and marrying a dog is a dog. There are still my relatives and friends in the Central Plains, so I naturally can't let go. If you want me to stay alone in Liao, it will never work. But if Narcissus is willing to marry me, I will not fail her. I will take her and take her back to the Central Plains with me!"

Xiao Shuixian's eyes flashed, and he looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao again. Her current identity is special, of course, she needs Empress Dowager Xiao's consent before she can follow Chen Ao.

Empress Dowager Xiao observed her words and looks, and she had long known it. Seeing this, he just sighed slightly, got up and walked off the phoenix couch, and sat down at the table on the side of the tent. This is where she usually reads. Empress Dowager Xiao beckoned and motioned for Chen Ao to sit down on the soft pier opposite her.

Chen Ao was a little flattered, this was the first time he was on an equal footing with this legendary figure. He hurriedly sat down opposite the Empress Dowager Xiao, and his tone was actually a little respectful: "What else does the Empress Dowager command?"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and said, "Chen Ao, haven't you ever thought that you are already a person who has died once, and if you go back like this, can the Great Song Dynasty court tolerate you?"

Chen Ao sighed. In fact, not only this matter, Zhao Ling's matter, Yunlu's fake death, every one of them is enough to alarm the government and the opposition. If these few things are dug up, it is enough to die several times.

But if he doesn't go back, who will rescue Zhao Ling, who is under house arrest, and who will send Liang Xiaoya and Yunlu to a safe place?

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "I also heard that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has posthumously crowned you as the prince of the country and carried out a thick burial in accordance with the etiquette of the princes and nobles. If you go back with a swagger now, won't it be a joke for the people to see the emperor?"

Chen Ao sighed, and his mood was a little complicated. It seems that his previous considerations are still a little immature, and he always feels that he has helped Zhao Heng anyway, and Zhao Heng will never be difficult for himself. But now it seems that it is really difficult for me to return to China.

But it's hard to return, and I still have to go back. Empress Dowager Xiao is indeed polite to herself now, but this is completely for the sake of Xiao Shuixian's face. Maybe she was because she had just met Xiao Shuixian and was unwilling to destroy the relationship between the two. If one day, Empress Dowager Xiao knew that Xiao Tzu Rin was killed by his Chen Ao design, would she still be able to tolerate him at that time?

Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said, "Since I can't go back openly, then I'll just go back quietly." Externally, the forward general Chen Ao naturally died heroically. But Chen Ao, the rich man, is still alive and well. Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I have already saved a lot of savings, enough for me and Narcissus to be free for a lifetime!"

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect that Chen Ao would give up her position of power and really planned to live incognito. She has been in the game of power all her life, so she naturally can't understand Chen Ao's "ambition" to be a rich man.

Xiao Shuixian is getting happier and happier. She didn't care if Chen Ao was a prince and marquis, and her former father Xiao Ting didn't just want to pursue such a status before he became the current lost dog?

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and said to Chen Ao: "You think simply. Which emperor is not suspicious? As long as you live for one day, you may bring harm to him. Why should he keep you with such a person?"

"Are you saying that Zhao Heng will kill me?" Chen Ao said, "No! Lao Tzu has helped him a lot, if he still wants to kill me, it will be too unrighteous!"

Empress Dowager Xiao sneered: "Don't you Han people still have a saying that no poison is not a husband? If he is not ruthless, how can he be the emperor?"

Chen Ao was silent, as if he felt that this was a dead knot. How to dispel Zhao Heng's worries about himself and Zhao Ling? This is indeed a bit of a headache!

Seeing this, Xiao Shuixian took Empress Dowager Xiao's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, you must have a way to help him, right?"

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't entangle Xiao Shuixian, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it's a girl who is extroverted! Narcissus, haven't you always looked down on the Han people and the Central Plains countries in the past? Chen Ao wants to go back, and you still want to help him?"

Xiao Shuixian grinned and said, "I really didn't like the Central Plains in the past, but now I suddenly want to go to the Central Plains to have a look and see what the difference between it and our grassland is!"

Chen Ao knew that she was showing her attitude and was willing to follow her, and her heart couldn't help but pound. This is the first woman in his life, although he still feels that night is confused, and it seems to be real and illusory. But this is indeed an unchangeable fact!

He glanced at Xiao Shuixian, who also happened to look over and winked at him. The small movements of the two were naturally watched by the Empress Dowager Xiao. Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but think of the fact that when she was young, she was so affectionate with that person. At the beginning, I also wanted to go out with that person. But in the end, she didn't make it. If his daughter can really wander the world with her beloved man, can it be regarded as a regret for herself?

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Xiao's heart was a little loose. After being silent for a long time, she sighed faintly and said, "The female is not staying...... Chen Ao, since you are bent on taking Narcissus back to the Central Plains, I won't stop you. Don't worry, I'll help you deal with your emperor so that he can't touch you!"

Chen Ao was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up to salute and thanked: "Thank you Queen Mother for your success!"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and looked at her daughter full of joy, with tenderness in her heart. She is not young anymore, especially after these years of exhaustion and her health is getting worse and worse. Xiao Shuixian is gone, and I don't know if we can meet again in this life.

Xiao Shuixian has grown to such a big age, and Empress Dowager Xiao has not been able to accompany her, and it is inevitable that she will have regrets in her heart, and she is even more reluctant at this moment. Chen Ao guessed her thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, when I settle down in the Central Plains, I will definitely come back to see you with Narcissus often!"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed slightly, waved her hand, and said nothing.

A few days later, Cao Yi came to Liaoying again. This time, he came to sign a contract with the Great Liao Emperor on behalf of the Great Song Emperor, so the ceremony was much grander. Treaties are pre-drawn up and there is nothing negotiable. The only one, which was added at Chen Ao's suggestion, was to open a field on the border between the two countries.

This is a good thing that benefits both countries, and it will naturally be able to pass smoothly. In fact, Chen Ao still had a little caution. That is, although the Great Song Dynasty had to pay tribute to the Great Liao every year, the Great Song Dynasty was rich in products and traded many things in the field, and the annual trade surplus could offset these New Year's coins. Moreover, if peace is to be maintained between the two countries, it is necessary for the people of the two countries to have deep ties of economic interests. Chen Ao is from modern times and a college student, and his understanding of these issues is far deeper than that of Empress Dowager Xiao, Kou Zhun, and Cao Yi.

Under the operation of many parties, the two countries finally reached a peace agreement, and this contract was called the alliance of the Yuanyuan.
