Nangong Jun knelt on the ground, his voice trembling. He reacted not because he was afraid, but because of anger, shock, contempt, and other emotions pressed down on his heart.

In his life, he has never seen a shameless person like Chen Ao, who can tear out such a light without changing his face. Nangong Jun can be regarded as a child of a family, he can be regarded as a nobleman, and he is a little decent after all. He may be insidious, cunning, arrogant and ignorant, but when he tells lies, he will inevitably be a little weak-hearted. But today he finally saw what it means to not change his face.

"There are such brazen people in the world!" Nangong Jun shouted in his heart.

What's even more odious is that Empress Dowager Xiao seems to believe his words. That Xiao Shuixian also looked at Chen Ao with admiration, and completely stopped thinking about Chen Ao's deception of her at the beginning. Xuan Ning understood Chen Ao's person, and desperately held back a smile.

As long as Empress Dowager Xiao believes it, everything will be a foregone conclusion. Nangong Jun hurriedly cried and shouted: "Queen Mother, don't believe him, he's talking nonsense......"

Chen Ao didn't wait for him to finish, then interrupted him and asked, "I'm talking nonsense? I don't know which nonsense I am talking about?"

"This ...... That ......" Nangong Jun only felt that Chen Ao's words were all lies, but he really wanted to accuse them one by one, but he didn't know where to start. Could it be that his identity is false? Chen Ao's identity has been clearly stated by himself, and there is no falsehood in the slightest. Could it be that it is false to say that he had a secret communication with Xiao Tzu Rin in Jizhou City? How did Nangong Jun know that he was not at the scene at that time? I am afraid that no one will believe this kind of thing when he says it.

Nangong Jun opened his mouth and didn't let out half a fart for a long time. Empress Dowager Xiao was very impatient, waved her hand, and shouted: "Come on, drag this dog thief full of nonsense out and cut it down!"

Nangong Jun was startled, and hurriedly begged for mercy. Empress Dowager Xiao had already had murderous intent towards him, and she didn't want to listen to him anymore, so she sat back in her chair in a gloomy manner. The two warriors outside the tent had been waiting for a long time, and when they heard the order, they immediately rushed in and dragged Nangong Jun, who was tied up with five flowers, out.

Originally, Nangong Jun also had a good martial arts, but his hands were tied behind his back, and no matter how good his martial arts were, he couldn't play it. Nangong Jun knew that death was coming, so he glared at Chen Ao viciously, and scolded sharply: "Chen Ao-I won't let you go if I am a ghost!"

Chen Ao was stunned by him, so he had to turn his head and pretend not to see it. It wasn't until Nangong Jun dragged him away that he couldn't hear the shouts anymore that he felt better.

Chen Ao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard Empress Dowager Xiao say coldly: "Chen Ao...... Hmph, Chen Ao, your courage is indeed not small. I can't imagine that Da Song still has a capable minister like you, it's really rare!"

Chen Ao laughed twice and said, "The Queen Mother misunderstood, where can I be considered a capable minister......

Empress Dowager Xiao sneered a few times and said, "Do you think you can hide your lies from me?"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that his flawed lies did not make Empress Dowager Xiao fully believe. The reason why Empress Dowager Xiao categorically killed Nangong Jun was only because Nangong Jun intended to ** Xiao Shuixian.

But why didn't Empress Dowager Xiao directly order herself to be taken down just now? Chen Ao was only slightly puzzled, and then he suddenly realized. Could it be that Empress Dowager Xiao has already had the intention of retiring from the army because of Xiao Tzu Rin's death? She didn't kill herself, she just wanted to pave the way for her whole body to retreat from this war, and she could even use him in exchange for various benefits.

Chen Ao's mind was racing at this moment, and he felt more and more that the woman in front of him who was over half a hundred years old was terrible. He just wanted to speak, but suddenly it occurred to him that since he had become a useful person to Empress Dowager Xiao, could she let herself leave?

Before the thought could be stopped, the Empress Dowager Xiao shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, lock this kid up too!"

Xuan Ning heard that her tone was not good, and immediately stopped in front of Chen Ao. Chen Ao thought to himself, no matter how high Xuanning's martial arts are, he can't defeat thousands of troops. He is now useful to Empress Dowager Xiao, and his life should not be in danger. But if Xuanning fights with them, I'm afraid that the matter won't end so easily.

Thinking of this, he gently patted Xuan Ning's shoulder and whispered, "Don't be impulsive!"

Then he bowed his hand to the Empress Dowager Xiao and said: "The Empress Dowager, a living Chen Ao is much more useful than a dead Chen Ao. I believe that the Queen Mother will not be embarrassed. As for this Miss Xuan, she has nothing to do with this matter, and it will definitely not spoil the Queen Mother's affairs. Please don't hurt the innocent!"

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Chen Ao with interest, smiled slightly, and said, "You are very smart. If someone like you can serve my Da Liao, I will definitely give you a hundred times the glory and power!"

Chen Ao also smiled: "The Queen Mother praised it falsely, she is just a decadent young man who has no lofty ideals and ambitions, and waits for death, and he really can't afford to take on any big responsibilities." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the two samurai who had been ordered to come in and let them tie themselves up. Xuan Ning looked at Chen Ao worriedly, but Chen Ao smiled at her and blinked, indicating that he was not in danger.

Xiao Shuixian didn't know why, so he hurriedly stopped the two warriors, turned back to the Empress Dowager Xiao and said, "Godmother, he saved me and is my benefactor, so you can let him go!"

Although she has a straightforward personality and does not have as many scruples as the Han people in the Central Plains, it is still impossible to say the private matter between her and Chen Ao so openly.

Empress Dowager Xiao glared at her, and waved her hand directly: "Take it away!"

The two warriors did not hesitate any longer, pressed their hands on Chen Ao's shoulders, and escorted him out of the tent. Xuan Ning was still not at ease and chased him out. Although she was able to easily defeat the two warriors in front of her, they could not escape from the barracks guarded by thousands of troops. Therefore, Xuanning chose to believe in Chen Ao and never had the impulse.

As soon as the two left, Xiao Shuixian immediately entangled the Empress Dowager Xiao and begged in every possible way. Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't tell her the plan in her heart, so she just shook her head and ignored it. Seeing this, Xiao Shuixian had an idea, and reached out to pick up a long box next to the table.

This is exactly the picture scroll she prepared for the birthday of Empress Dowager Xiao. Xiao Shuixian couldn't bear it, so she put this painting box here, and she almost didn't wait for her birthday to open it for Empress Dowager Xiao to see. She endured to this day.

But Xiao Tzu Rin was suddenly killed, Empress Dowager Xiao was in a heavy mood, and the whole army was also filled with a sense of sadness. In this case, I'm afraid it's impossible to do Shou at all. Xiao Shuixian unfolded the painting and said, "Godmother, look, this painting is what he taught me to paint and gave it to you as a birthday gift." You see that he is so attentive, just let him go!"

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at the painting, her face changed suddenly, and she shouted: "This is what he asked you to paint?

Xiao Shuixian was startled, and said with some fear: "Yes...... It was when I saw my godmother often reciting this poem that I told him......"

Empress Dowager Xiao's face gradually softened, and she said to herself, "Yes...... How could he, a young lad, know about that......"

"Know what?"

"Nothing. Empress Dowager Xiao quickly recovered to normal, but she was not afraid that Xiao Shuixian, who was a little nervous, would see something, looked carefully at the painting that was not considered to be exquisite, and said lightly: "He actually came up with such an idea, but he has a heart......

Xiao Shuixian said happily: "Yes, yes, Godmother will spare him for the sake of his heart!"

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I didn't say what I was going to do with him." What are you anxious about?"

Xiao Shuixian said: "In that case, why is the godmother still locking him up?

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and said, "No, he is a general of the Song Dynasty, how can he let it go easily?"

Xiao Shuixian really couldn't help it, she was anxious, and said: "Godmother, I don't care! I have become a husband and wife with him, do you want to keep your godson-in-law locked up?"
