Empress Dowager Xiao's face was gloomy, she sneered, and said, "Sure enough...... I was originally surprised that you, such a miscellaneous servant, actually saw my court's civil and military, and you were able to be neither humble nor arrogant, as stable as Mount Tai. This kind of bearing is obviously not what an ordinary person should have. It's just that Aijia didn't expect that you are actually the hot forward general of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Xiao Shuixian covered her mouth, her heart was numb. She is a very simple and stubborn woman, since Chen Ao "sacrificed herself to save herself" that day, one of her hearts has been tied to Chen Ao. At this moment, when he heard Chen Ao's true identity, he was proud and proud that his lover had the ability, and he thought of the hostility between the two countries, and he didn't know where to go.

Chen Ao smiled calmly: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, she really has a last resort, so she didn't reveal her identity to the Queen Mother......"

Empress Dowager Xiao sneered and said, "Yes, you want to seek revenge on Xiao Aiqing, so naturally you have to be incognito!"

Nangong Jun said the right identity of Zaixia, but he didn't say the right purpose of coming here!"

"Oh?

Chen Ao looked at Nangong Jun and said, "Nangong Jun, since you told the Queen Mother about my identity as a forward general, why didn't you tell the Queen Mother about my other identities?

Nangong Jun didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he stumbled twice and didn't speak. Chen Ao asked himself and replied: "I was a Qipinzhi County at the beginning, isn't this true?"

Nangong Jun Muran nodded. Chen Ao said: "Later, I became the helmsman of the Salt Gang, and then I became the so-called martial arts alliance leader. Isn't that right?"

Nangong Jun only continued to nod. Empress Dowager Xiao was also a little dazed, and she didn't know what Chen Ao was talking about. At the same time, she was also a little secretly shocked, she didn't expect that this young man in front of her was actually the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts!

Chen Ao arched his hand to the Empress Dowager Xiao and said, "Empress Dowager, you heard it just now, what I said is true." I was originally just a petty official in a remote county, and by chance I became the helmsman of the Salt Gang. The Queen Mother must have heard of what this salt gang was for, right? That's right, the salt gang started by smuggling salt. This is an underworld, but a sworn enemy of the imperial court. Queen Mother, you said that with such an identity, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was dizzy, and he was actually sent to be this forward general?"

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded secretly, feeling a little confused in her heart. But she still said coldly: "But after all, you are still the forward general!"

Chen Ao said "heartbrokenly": "That's right, Queen Mother, do you think about it, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty actually asked me to take 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people to try to stop the Queen Mother's army of more than 100,000. Could it be that Emperor Song was confused? No, he was not confused at all. He just wants to borrow the queen mother's knife to get rid of me, so that he can control the martial arts!"

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned. She is also a master of intrigue and trickery, and suddenly felt that what Chen Ao said was very reasonable. She is very good at the trick of killing people with a knife. But she still believed it so easily, and said: "Hmph, but you have been defending Jizhou City for a long time, and your skills are really not small! This conspiracy of the Great Song Emperor is only afraid that it will be difficult to realize." ”

Chen Ao said: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, although I saw through the conspiracy of Emperor Song, I still took on this errand without hesitation, not because I have any outstanding skills, but because I have a compassionate heart!"

Several people in the tent were shocked, and even Xuan Ning felt that Chen Ao's face was too thick.

Chen Ao said righteously: "Queen Mother, you might as well inquire about how I became the helmsman of the Salt Gang." By the way, Nangong Jun is also clear, you can ask him. It was only when I worked with the coolies of the salt works that I was able to become the helmsman with the support of thousands of coolies. Why have I been able to win the hearts and minds of the people? Isn't it because I care about their suffering? Now, under my leadership, the reform of the Salt Gang has basically been completed, and those coolies are no longer slaves, but have turned over and become masters. The Salt Gang is not the private property of me, the helmsman, but all of them!"

Empress Dowager Xiao was confused: "You...... What do you say about this?"

Chen Ao said: "I said this precisely to tell the Queen Mother that I, Chen Ao, are benevolent and righteous, and have a benevolent heart." It is precisely because I don't want to see the lives of the people suffer unjustified disasters that I shoulder morality and lead the army north without hesitation. I don't want to fight the warriors of your country, but I want to find a way to benefit the people of both countries. In this way, we may be able to eliminate the war and peace, and the world will be peaceful!"

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but sneer.

"That's right!" Chen Ao still had the face of a saint, "I also know that the people of your country often raid on my border, and that is because of your country's herding lifestyle, sometimes affected by natural disasters, and life is unsustainable." The war between the two countries is basically due to this reason. And I've also heard that the lives of ordinary herdsmen in your country are not rich, and many families don't even have iron pots for cooking. Queen Mother, the war between the two countries will only kill countless innocent people, but it will not fundamentally change the status quo. But if we live together peacefully, we all benefit. We used to have a field on the border. The two countries have a mutual market, and they are not exchanged. Wouldn't that be a better way than fighting?"

Empress Dowager Xiao sneered and said, "It turns out that you are here to sue for peace!"

Chen Ao shook his head and said, "It's not about peace. It's just that the peaceful coexistence of the two countries is the desire of the people, so why should the Queen Mother be obsessed? Because General Xiao realized this, he spared my life and promised to cooperate with me in a play!"

"What?" Empress Dowager Xiao exclaimed, "You mean, Xiao Tzu Rin deliberately let you go?"

Of course, Xuan Ning knew that these were all Chen Aohu's words. If Xiao Tzu Rin deliberately let him go, Chen Ao would not have been so seriously injured. Xuan Ning listened with interest, wondering how Chen Ao should have made this lie come true.

Chen Ao said: "Of course. If General Xiao had not deliberately spared me, how could he have let me live? General Xiao and Zai had reached a consensus and were willing to work together for peace and friendship between the two countries. General Xiao also said that the Great Song Dynasty was vast, and the Liao army was weak in succession, so it would inevitably be blocked. At that time, the Queen Mother will have the heart to negotiate peace. At that time, if we speak together, we will definitely be able to persuade the Queen Mother to agree to live peacefully with the Great Song Dynasty for the benefit of the people of the two countries!"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, thinking of Xiao Tart's loyalty, and couldn't help but believe a little bit in Chen Ao's words. And the facts have also proved Xiao Tzu Rin right.

Chen Ao suddenly pointed at Nangong Jun and said loudly: "But this guy never wants to see Song Liao shake hands and make peace." Because he had a grudge against the Great Song Dynasty, he naturally wanted to sabotage General Xiao's plan. Therefore, he revealed General Xiao's whereabouts to the defenders of Lanzhou, so that General Xiao was ambushed by the Song army and died by an arrow. I can't imagine that a generation of famous generals through the ages was actually destroyed by Xiaoxiao's hands, it's sad and lamentable!"
