Chen Ao was not kept in a cage like a prisoner, but was placed in a tent. The tent is fully equipped, and there are two Khitan warriors guarding the tent. As long as Chen Ao does not leave this tent, he can move freely inside.

Chen Ao knew that this must have been signaled by Empress Dowager Xiao. It can be seen from this that Empress Dowager Xiao must want to make a fuss about him. It is very likely that he took a fancy to Emperor Song's favor to him, so he wanted to take him hostage in exchange for a little benefit.

Chen Ao thought to himself, if Empress Dowager Xiao just wanted to ask Zhao Heng for money, it would be easy to do, Da Song had money. But if this woman wants the Great Song Dynasty to pay compensation, it will be a little difficult. Not to mention that the civil and military ministers of the Great Song Dynasty would not agree, just Chen Ao, once this kind of loss of power and humiliation of the country was caused by himself, then he would also feel very embarrassed.

Therefore, Chen Ao sat in the tent, a little bored. He has only learned a little bit of history, and can only vaguely remember that in this era, the Great Song Dynasty did sign a peace treaty with the Liao State. But he didn't know that this famous treaty was called the "Abyss Alliance". And the place where this happened is here - under the city of Lanzhou.

Chen Ao would never have imagined that he was about to become the person who drove the course of history. He has always been afraid that his appearance will change the original appearance of history, but he didn't expect that he alone is not even a wave for the entire history. For so long, jumping up and down on his own is just a gentle push to the wheel of history.

The day passed quickly, and Chen Ao sat in the tent, listening to the movements of Xiao Tzu Rin's funeral in the barracks outside, and finally got into the dark. He knew that his life was not in danger for the time being, so he simply faced it calmly. After dinner, the movement outside stopped a little. After another while, Chen Ao was just about to undress and go to bed. Suddenly, he heard two soft sounds of "poof" at the door, and when Chen Ao looked back, he saw Xiao Shuixian sneaking into the tent.

If it was Xuanning or Long Qingping who appeared at this time, Chen Ao would not feel strange, after all, they were quite affectionate. It's no surprise that these two would come to his rescue. But Xiao Shuixian's sudden appearance made Chen Ao a little surprised.

Chen Ao asked, "Miss Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Shuixian waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, you can come with me." The godmother refused to let you go, and now she is still furious. I'm afraid she'll kill you in a fit of rage!"

Chen Ao said strangely: "It doesn't make sense, I'm so cooperative, she shouldn't kill me!"

Xiao Shuixian didn't dare to look at him, and said hesitantly: "I'll ...... I told us what had happened......"

Chen Ao let out an "ah", stunned and inexplicable. He really didn't expect that Xiao Shuixian would tell Empress Dowager Xiao such a private matter. It turned out that Xiao Shuixian was worried that Chen Ao was in danger, and in order to beg Empress Dowager Xiao to relax, she told the secret in a hurry.

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she was shocked, angry and anxious. She scolded Xiao Shuixian with her head covered in her face. But seeing Xiao Shuixian's pitiful appearance, his heart softened again. After experiencing so many things this day, Empress Dowager Xiao only felt exhausted, and immediately sat on the chair panting, pressing her hands on her temples, sulking.

Xiao Shuixian stayed with her carefully for most of the day, until Mrs. Xiao was tired and ready to rest, and then she secretly ran out. She was worried that in this way, Chen Ao would be more dangerous, so she quietly touched it. When the two warriors at the door saw that it was her, they didn't defend at all, but were knocked unconscious by Xiao Shuixian's surprise.

Xiao Shuixian briefly explained the matter, and Chen Ao only felt a headache. Finally, things stabilized, and unexpectedly, there were waves again. Chen Ao could see that Empress Dowager Xiao was really fond of Xiao Shuixian. Will she tolerate a general of an enemy country who has anything to do with her beloved goddaughter?

What if Empress Dowager Xiao became angry and killed herself in a fit of anger? Anyway, for Da Song now, Chen Ao has been shot off the cliff by Xiao Tzu Rin, and he can't die anymore. It seems that it is impossible not to escape now. Chen Ao had made up his mind, and hurriedly followed Xiao Shuixian out of the tent.

The tent was not far from the tent, and there were many guards patrolling around it. The two of them quietly touched forward, and from time to time they had to stop, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the team to pass by, before they dared to move on.

Chen Ao thought that Xuan Ning didn't know about his escape. If she is not notified, when the news of her disappearance leaks out tomorrow, then Empress Dowager Xiao will definitely be angry with Xuanning.

So the two walked to Xuanning's place of residence first. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard sonorous footsteps, and someone strode towards me. The two hurriedly hid behind a pile of firewood and grass on the side of the road.

The footsteps of the three people came from far and near, and they suddenly stopped when they walked to the firewood and grass where the two were hiding. Chen Ao didn't dare to come out, for fear that his hiding would be discovered by others. Then I heard a man say, "When the time comes, you two will guard the door, and no one will be allowed to come in." Whatever happens in the tent, leave it at your disposal and do whatever I command."

This is Xiao Ting's voice, as if he is ordering something. Chen Ao glanced at Xiao Shuixian strangely, and Xiao Shuixian was also a little surprised. It turned out that at this time, most people gathered around Xiao Tzulin's body to say goodbye to the general. How could Xiao Ting appear here at this time? Especially since this area was the residence of the Liao royal family and important ministers, Xiao Ting was not a prominent figure, and it was obviously a little inappropriate to come here late at night.

At this time, I heard the other two simply agree. Xiao Ting said "um" again, and there was a faint excitement and joy in his voice. Chen Ao secretly wondered that Xiao Tzu Rin was dead, and everyone else was like his father and mother who had died. Regardless of sincerity or falsehood, at least he is sad and angry. But this Xiao Ting can't hide his excitement!

He and Xiao Shuixian quietly poked their heads out in unison, only to see Xiao Ting walking all the way to a tent in front with two guards.

Xiao Shuixian said with some surprise: "That's the godmother's bed, what is my father doing there at this time?"

Chen Ao also felt a little strange. At this time, the curiosity in his heart had overcome his fear, and he beckoned to Xiao Shuixian. The two quietly returned, and followed Xiao Ting and the three to the outside of Empress Dowager Xiao's bed.

The two guards stood in front of the tent door with their hands on their chests, as they had been ordered. Xiao Ting stood at the door, breathed for a while, and finally took a deep breath, puffed up his chest, and walked straight into the tent.

Together with Xiao Shuixian, Chen Ao felt behind the tent and found a hidden place to hide his body. Although this cowhide felt canopy is thick, it is not made of bricks after all. Xiao Shuixian escaped from the knife and made a light cut in the felt cloth. The two of them squeezed over, just in time to get a clear view of the scene inside the tent. And the voice in the tent was also heard clearly.

They didn't know what Xiao Ting had said before, so they heard Empress Dowager Xiao roar angrily: "You don't want to mention this matter again!
