Chen Ao heard Nangong Jun say the previous paragraph, and secretly rejoiced, thinking, it turned out that he thought he had surrendered to the Khitans, how did this person become so suspicious?

But when he heard the last sentence, his face couldn't help but change. Nangong Jun knew Zhao Ling's identity, which Chen Ao had already guessed. With the disappearance of Nangong Jun, Chen Ao was also worried for a while. But after a long time, there was no rumor, which made Chen Ao feel a little lucky.

Who would have thought that Nangong Jun would actually tell Empress Dowager Xiao about this? Chen Ao immediately thought that perhaps the Liao army was blocked by the Song army in Lanzhou and could not break through the defense line for a long time. Nangong Jun presented this news, wanting to confuse Zhao Heng and make the Song army chaotic without a fight.

Nangong Jun saw that Chen Ao's face became very ugly, and his heart was very comfortable. He felt that his guesses this time were all correct, Chen Ao didn't understand bullshit, and in the face of the powerful Liao army, he could only be captured. Empress Dowager Xiao must have given him some face because he was the forward general of the Song army, and she was willing to let him hide his name.

But Chen Ao tried every possible way to protect Zhao Ling's others, but he didn't expect that he had already come to the bottom of the kettle. As long as Zhao Ling's true identity is leaked out, it will cause chaos within the Great Song Dynasty first. Then Chen Ao's women have to bear the brunt of the suspicion of Emperor Song.

Nangong Jun laughed, patted Chen Ao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you and I will be ministers in the same palace in the future, and I will not be embarrassed for you." But your women, it's a pity, alas......"

He pretended to sigh twice, waved his sleeves, and walked away. Chen Ao yelled at his back a few times, and Xuan Ning whispered a few words of persuasion, and then pulled him away.

Back in Xuanning's tent, Chen Ao sat on the chair with a grim face and was silent. Xuan Ning probably knew a little bit about what Nangong Jun said, but he didn't know the details. She poured Chen Ao a glass of cold water and asked.

Chen Ao briefly explained the matter, sighed, and said, "Ning'er, when I was in the capital, I had a righteous relationship with Zhao Heng. Later, when the Khitan invaded the country, I saw that few of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to protect their families and defend the country, and they all advocated escaping. I know that those people have their own little calculations. They can escape, but Zhao Heng, as the emperor, where will he flee? Therefore, I want to help this friend. Even if he asked me to become a general, I gladly agreed. Until that day I fell off a cliff and got my life back. I was lying on the ground, thinking in my heart, I risked my life this time, and I could be regarded as blocking the Liao army for a while, and I was worthy of Zhao Heng. As long as I can survive this catastrophe, I will take my beloved woman away and fly away, and I will no longer care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes......"

Xuan Ning sat down beside him and gently shook Chen Ao's hand. Chen Ao continued: "It wasn't until I was rescued by you that I looked forward to getting better and bringing you back as soon as possible. But if what Nangong Jun said is true, then Zhao Ling and the others must be very dangerous now......"

Xuan Ning sighed and said, "But you can't leave here now, what can you do?"

Chen Ao was silent for a long time, thinking of countless ideas in his heart, but he vetoed them one by one. Now that my injury has not healed, strenuous exercise has become a problem, what can I do?

He sighed lightly and said, "If the Liao army is still attacking under the city of Lanzhou, Zhao Heng will inevitably suspect Zhao Ling in the face of internal and external pressure. Maybe only when the Khitan retreats and the pressure in Zhao Heng's heart is reduced, can he calm down and think about Zhao Ling's problem. ”

"Do you still want to lead your troops to fight the Liao army?" your body ......" Xuan Ning was a little worried.

Chen Ao shook his head and said, "Facts have proved that I am not the material for commanding the army. All along, it was Zhao Ling who gave me ideas. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to fight a single battle......"

"Then what do you mean ......"

Chen Ao smiled lightly and said, "You forgot that I told you that I, as a person, have more than enough success and failure." I may not be able to lead an army to defeat the Liao army in a dignified manner, but I can prevent them from winning! Although I am a proletarian materialist, I am now more and more convinced that one's luck is too important. If you hadn't followed those two monks to the Khitan, you wouldn't have saved me, and I wouldn't have been able to penetrate the enemy. Now that all the coincidences have appeared, it's time for me to take the final step!"

Xuan Ning was also infected by Chen Ao's emotions and became excited. She clenched her fists and said, "Chen Ao, I will definitely help you." What do you want to do?"

Chen Ao said: "I don't know yet...... But I'm sure I'll find a way!"

The two were quietly discussing, but at this time, in Xiao Shuixian's tent, Nangong Jun was a little embarrassed. Nangong Jun found that Empress Dowager Xiao had a good impression of the Han people, so he burst with self-confidence and thought of pursuing Empress Dowager Xiao's righteous daughter.

Who knew that Xiao Shuixian and his godmother were fundamentally two personalities, and they were not interested in the Han people at all. She didn't have a good impression of Nangong Jun in the first place, and she didn't have a good face at this time. Fortunately, Xiao Shuixian still understood things and knew that Nangong Jun was his father's guest, so he didn't do too much, so he didn't blow him out.

Nangong Jun had already realized this, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he had to quietly put the gift box on Xiao Shuixian's table, but he didn't say anything. He glanced at the ink painting on the table, his heart moved, and he thought to himself, this little girl seems to like painting, and she actually asked Chen Ao's idiot to teach her.

Although Nangong Jun is a martial arts family, he has received a good education since he was a child, and he is not inferior to dancing and writing. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the painting was like a child's graffiti. But he was afraid of annoying Xiao Shuixian, so he had to say against his will: "Miss Xiao, this painting is so ...... has connotation, and only a character like a girl can be drawn!"

Speaking of painting, Xiao Shuixian immediately became interested and asked, "Do you also think this painting is good?" Actually, this painting is the handiwork of Master Zhao. ”

She was in a good mood today, and actually took the initiative to admit that it was painted by Chen Ao, and called Chen Ao Master Zhao for the first time. When Nangong Jun heard that this painting was painted by Chen Ao, his face changed, and he turned around and said, "This painting...... It's good, but it's a pity that there is no verve! Isn't it an insult to dedicate this kind of painting to the county lord?"

Xiao Shuixian didn't know about the grievances between Nangong Jun and Chen Ao, but he felt that Nangong Jun turned his face too quickly. She was not stupid, and immediately understood that Nangong Jun had deliberately complimented her before. Xiao Shuixian was not angry, and smiled: "Could it be that Nangong Gongzi can paint a better picture?"

Nangong Jun straightened his chest and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this?"

After that, he dipped his pen in ink, and said while drawing: "I will also draw a picture with the theme of Pujia, and see how it compares with this one!"
