Chapter 500: Clever Tongue (Part II)
Chen Ao said with an "innocent" face: "That's right, I do suspect that someone has reported to the Song people!"
Everyone's attention immediately became tense again, and Empress Dowager Xiao asked coldly, "Then who do you think this person is?"
Chen Ao said: "I vaguely remember that there was another person who followed us all the way yesterday, but he didn't know where he went halfway. What's that man's name?"
When he spoke, his face was calm, but he was smiling secretly in his heart, thinking, Nangong Jun, Nangong Jun, who made you always go against Lao Tzu? I see how you get through this hurdle!
Xuan Ning stood aside, and he could also hear that Chen Ao was pouring dirty water on Nangong Jun. Chen Ao didn't discuss this matter with her, so Xuan Ning was a little surprised at first. But seeing Chen Ao talking nonsense with a calm face, he really couldn't laugh or cry. She smiled secretly in her heart, but she could only keep her calm on her face, which is really not something that ordinary people can hold onto.
The ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides were not quite sure who was with Xiao Tzu Rin last night, so they asked each other a few times. Xiao Ting suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Could it be that you are talking about Nangong Jun?"
Chen Ao also pretended to remember suddenly, and said, "Yes, yes, that's the one named Nangong Jun!"
"Nangong Jun?" Empress Dowager Xiao also frowned, "Nangong Jun was with General Xiao last night?"
Xiao Ting nodded and said, "Yes." Last night, I saw Nangong Jun hurrying to find General Xiao, and then I saw them leave with a group of people. ”
The ministers were suspicious. Empress Dowager Xiao also said to herself: "Nangong Jun...... When did you become so familiar with Xiao Tzu Rin?"
A young general said loudly: "Queen Mother, this Han man surnamed Nangong must not be well-intentioned!"
Empress Dowager Xiao raised her hand, stopped him from speaking, and asked Chen Ao sharply: "You are just a miscellaneous servant in Jizhou, and you dare to frame the minister of our court?"
Chen Ao was not frightened by her, but pretended to be frightened, his legs were weak, he fell to his knees, trembled, and said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the villain still thinks that Nangong Jun is the son of the famous Nangong family in the Great Song Dynasty, but I really didn't expect him to be the minister of our Great Liao!"
As soon as he said this, it made the hearts of Empress Dowager Xiao and several ministers feel terrified. They all knew that Nangong Jun was fine, and immediately remembered that Nangong Jun was originally the eldest son of a famous martial arts family in the Great Song Dynasty, and his status was transcendent. It was an incredible thing for him to suddenly come to Da Liao. Although Nangong Jun said that he was desperate and came to the north, who can prove that his words were not a cover?
Several ministers came out one after another, and after saying a few words, they all advocated that Nangong Jun should be ordered to be arrested immediately. Chen Ao knelt on the ground, and he could generally hear that these people were trying their best to clear up their relationship with Nangong Jun. Presumably, when Nangong Jun came over, these people had received some gifts and recommended this person to Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand and sat on the chair dejectedly. Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to say more. After a long time, Empress Dowager Xiao said slowly: "General Xiao sacrificed his life for the country, and I lost my humerus in Daliao. From today onwards, the whole army will observe a moment of silence on the fifth day of the boycott. Posthumously crowned General Xiao as the prince, and the Xiao family was raised by the royal family. ”
She paused, and then said, "Xiao Ting, you arrange for people to immediately hunt down Nangong Jun." Bring him alive to me!"
Xiao Ting agreed. Chen Ao was slightly disappointed, Empress Dowager Xiao deliberately emphasized that she wanted to bring Nangong Jun back alive, it seems that she still didn't fully believe her words.
After Empress Dowager Xiao finished ordering, her expression became very tired, and she waved her hand to let everyone retreat. Chen Ao looked up and saw Xiao Shuixian winking at him as he walked towards Empress Dowager Xiao. In this case, he didn't dare to say too much, so he could only leave the big tent silently.
Chen Ao and Xuan Ning left silently, and walked to a place where there were few people for a while, convinced that there were not many people around, so they let out a long breath. Before they knew it, their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.
Chen Ao was just about to speak, when he suddenly came out from the side. Yirong patted his fat forehead and said, "It's so dangerous, I didn't expect that Nangong Jun to be a traitor, and our senior brother almost fell for him!"
If this is brainless, Chen Ao doesn't know how to take it. However, it can be heard that Nangong Jun must have seen the two of them strong in martial arts, and he also wanted to win them over.
Yiku's old face leaned over, smiled coldly, and said to Chen Ao: "You kid didn't lie? Is Nangong Jun really a traitor?"
Chen Ao's heart jumped, thinking that this old monk had seen something. But after thinking about it, these two people have always looked like Shinto, and they can see what is strange. Chen Ao sneered and asked rhetorically: "Monk Yikun, are you also in the same group as that Nangong Jun?" Hehe, if those Khitans know about this, you will be in trouble!"
Yiku glared at him and said angrily: "Nonsense! If you kid dares to slander the old man, the old man will have to pick your skin!"
Chen Ao didn't care, and said with a smile: "You are really idle." Have you understood the mantra I gave you the day before yesterday? If you haven't understood it yet, let's think about it honestly!"
It turned out that a month ago, in order to avoid making enemies everywhere, Chen Ao agreed to apply the six reincarnation mantras in exchange for Yirong and Ku not to oppose him. Later, Chen Ao did fulfill his promise, but he didn't know much about it, and he didn't dare to make it up, so he had to teach it every two days. Therefore, it is said that this mental method is extremely profound, and they should be slowly comprehended.
In fact, although these mantras are all profound internal exercises, if they are not read through coherently, it is difficult to understand what they mean. But Yirong and Ku failed to see through Chen Ao's tricks, and they really understood sentence by sentence, so that after studying for so long, they couldn't figure out a few words.
As soon as Chen Ao said this, he was speechless. Yirong grabbed his senior brother's sleeve and said, "Okay, okay, senior brother, don't be like this kid." Let's comprehend the mental method!"
Yikun snorted heavily and was pulled away by Yirong. Chen Ao looked at their backs and couldn't help laughing.
Xuan Ning also smiled bitterly: "My two masters, if they hadn't done those evil things, they would be considered wonderful in the martial arts." ”
Chen Ao said with a smile: "The two of them are not big treacherous people, but they are paranoid and used by others, so they have done a lot of things that they shouldn't do." But I think they listen to you very much, as long as you use some tricks to make them turn evil into good, it shouldn't be a problem!"
Xuan Ning nodded. The two stood for a moment, just about to leave. Suddenly, someone behind me shouted: "Brother Chen, be careful!"
Chen Ao was startled, and heard that it was Long Qingping's voice. When he looked back, he saw a cold light flashing, and a figure flew towards him. Chen Ao subconsciously took two steps back, and saw that the person was Nangong Jun. I saw Nangong Jun with a hideous face, holding a scimitar in his hand, and was desperately slashing at him.
