Chapter 497: Revenge (Medium)
Chen Ao rushed headlong into the woods, running farther and farther. Although this is the camp of the Liao army, the nearby towns have fallen into the hands of the Liao army, and the Liao army is stationed there. Therefore, the security around this large camp is not very tight, and only guard towers and sentry posts are set up around the camp area. This barren mountain slope is naturally difficult to achieve five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry.
Chen Ao looked back and saw that he could no longer see the fire, so he stopped and took a breath. Now that Xiao Tzu Rin already knows that he is not dead, he must organize a man to track him. I definitely can't go back. Xuan Ning must have heard about this and was looking for me everywhere. Nangong Jun didn't recognize her, and Yirong Yiku was now Xiao Ting's personal entourage, so it shouldn't cause any trouble to Xuanning.
But where can I go now? This black light is blind, and the four fields are full of Khitans, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not bump into the arms of the Liao army. Chen Ao was at a loss, so he could only walk forward. After walking a short distance, a hole appeared at the foot of the mountain in front of him, and Chen Ao carefully touched it. It's a small mountain den, not deep, and there are no beasts of predators. Chen Ao hid in and pulled a few green vines to cover the entrance of the cave, wanting to get through the night first and wait for dawn.
After a long time, Chen Ao, who was a little dazed, was suddenly awakened by a sound of footsteps. The footsteps were accompanied by a few barks. Chen Ao was startled, and thought to himself, no, the Liao army actually brought all the dogs over!
Xiao Tzu Rin didn't make a fuss about the matter, after all, he shot the pioneer general of the Song Army with one arrow, which was an extremely glorious achievement. If you suddenly tell everyone now that Chen Ao is not dead, what will others think of him? Will they think that he lied about his merits? Xiao Ting and those people have always had a bad relationship with him, and if they make such an oolong, wouldn't they give people a handle? Also, if Empress Dowager Xiao found out, what would she think of him? Will it reduce her trust in him?
These things are all things that Xiao Tzu Rin must consider. Although he is a military general who charges into battle, when he reaches this position, he must consider these issues. So he didn't make a public announcement, but only mobilized a hundred and ten of his own soldiers, divided them into several teams, and led the hounds into the mountains to search.
And this team happened to track Chen Ao's smell and touched it all the way here. Chen Ao hid in the cave and didn't dare to come out, secretly praying that the people outside would not find him. However, his ostrich mentality was of no avail, and soon the sound of hounds barking could be heard at the entrance of the cave.
Chen Ao clenched his fists, thinking to himself that if they rushed in, they would have to fight. However, at this moment, there were only two muffled "poofs", and then the hound also let out a terrible bark, and then there was no movement.
Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, looked out, and saw Xuan Ning standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at him. At Xuanning's feet, there were two Khitan soldiers and a big black dog. Chen Ao was surprised and delighted, jumped out and said happily: "Xuanning, you are here to save me!"
Xuan Ning sighed and said, "Miss Long chased in the other direction, if it weren't for chasing these two people, I really wouldn't be able to find you." ”
Chen Aoxi said: "What a blessing. If you don't get there in time, they're going to take me away. ”
Xuan Ning already knew that it was Xiao Tzu Rin who ordered him to be arrested, so he naturally guessed that Chen Ao's identity was exposed. She didn't say much, took Chen Ao's hand, and said, "Let's leave here first!"
So saying, he ran up. Chen Ao was pulled by her and ran out of breath. Rao is a little bit of his internal skills, and he also feels out of breath. Xuan Ning led him up the mountain for a while, and came to an open hillside. The mountain wind here is relatively strong, and it is not easy for the hound to catch the smell, which is relatively safe.
Xuan Ning stopped, saw that Chen Ao took a few breaths, and asked, "Say, what happened?"
Chen Ao waved his hand and said, "What else can happen?" It must be Nangong Jun who told Xiao Tzu Rin about me!"
Xuan Ning said in a deep voice: "I'm not asking this. What the hell is going on with Xiao Shuixian? Why do you hide alone when I ask at night?"
Chen Ao opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer her. This kind of thing is already a little embarrassing to talk about, not to mention that Xuan Ning is the woman he cares about after all. In front of her, it was really embarrassing to mention that she was with another woman.
Xuan Ning's eyes were staring at him tightly, making Chen Ao a little flustered. Chen Ao was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and told Xuanning about Nangong Jun's intention to ** Xiao Shuixian, and he inadvertently drank the aphrodisiac, and then knocked Nangong Jun unconscious, and told Xuanning about spending a good night with Xiao Shuixian in a daze.
Xuan Jing listened quietly and didn't say a word. Although the story Chen Ao told couldn't be more bizarre, Xuan Ning knew that he wasn't lying. Chen Ao looked at her apprehensively and asked, "You won't be angry, will you?"
Xuan Ning didn't answer him, but asked, "Miss Xiao is now asking you to propose to the Empress Dowager Xiao, what are you going to do?"
Chen Ao sighed and said with a straight face: "With my identity, where can I show up to the Empress Dowager Xiao? After all, I am sorry for Miss Xiao." I plan to tell her the truth, and if she is willing to go with me, I will find a way to bring her back to the Central Plains. I don't think you won't be able to tolerate her, will you?"
Xuan Ning sighed and said, "You still have some responsibility." Miss Xiao is not bad, and her personality is relatively simple, but she is favored by the Empress Dowager Xiao and is a little arrogant. It would be best if she could really let go of her status and run away with us. ”
Chen Ao was surprised and delighted, and he didn't expect Xuanning to be jealous because of this. But think about it, I have a few women, and I don't seem to care about another one.
The two rested for a while, and Xuan Ning took Chen Ao to go elsewhere. After all, there are hundreds of people looking for them in the vicinity, and it's hard to stay in one place for too long. The two of them walked around all night, although they were tired, Chen Ao also solved a problem, and a small stone in his heart fell to the ground, and his spirit was much better.
He always held Xuanning's hand and never let go. When the eastern sky lit up, Chen Ao realized that they had actually walked to a section of the hillside near Lanzhou. From here, it is very close to the city of Lanzhou, and you can ride a horse to the bottom of the city with a sprint. It's just that there is a large army of the Liao army here to defend. If Chen Ao descended from here, he could only enter the Liao army camp, and it would be impossible to get close to Lanzhou.
The two of them sat on a large rock to rest, and suddenly heard the voices of people behind them. The two were startled and looked back. I saw that there were many people in the woods, and it was Xiao Tzu Rin who chased after him with his hundred and ten personal soldiers.
It turned out that the bodies of the two people killed by Xuanning last night were found by the people who tracked them later. Xiao Tzu Rin immediately gathered his men and carefully analyzed the direction in which Xuan Ning and Chen Ao fled. After all, he is a general, and he is thoughtful, far from being comparable to Xuanning. Xuan Ning just ran away aimlessly, but Xiao Tzu Rin decided not to go around in circles with them anymore, and directly sent people to a few intersections, and finally chased here with a large army.
Xuan Ning jerked Chen Ao's arm, and the two rolled behind the stones. I heard Xiao Tzurin's voice resounding in the woods: "Shoot the arrows!"
