Xiao Shuixian's almost domineering request made Chen Ao distressed. It's just that I can't tell Xuanning about this trouble, so I can only worry about it alone.

Seeing that he was about to join the Liao army tomorrow, Chen Ao really tossed and turned this night, and it was difficult to sleep. Early the next morning, his two deep dark circles really startled Xuan Ning. Xuan Ning thought that he was worried about how to escape, so he could only be relieved by Wen Yan.

Due to the increase in the Liao army these days, Long Qingping never appeared again. Xuan Ning has his own way of contacting her, but Chen Ao has always been worried about Xiao Shuixian's affairs and has not paid attention to this. Xuan Ning persuaded two sentences at this moment, and Chen Ao thought that they must have found a way, so he was slightly relieved.

The brigade was opened, and Chen Ao specially asked for a set of Khitan soldiers' clothes and hid in the crowd. Since that time, Nangong Jun has been living in seclusion and rarely appears. As long as he doesn't deliberately look for trouble, Chen Ao is confident that he can be fooled for a while.

Before noon, there was already a Liao army in front to greet him. The two teams converged, and after a short pause, they headed for a camp where grain and grass were stacked. The war had been going on for several months, and Song Liao was still in a stalemate in Shanzhou. If this continues, I am afraid that the war will drag on until winter. The Liao army began to hoard grain and grass early, which was to be consumed with the Great Song Dynasty. This is completely different from the past. Chen Ao secretly paid attention.

The grain transport team piles the grain and grass into the warehouse, and then can rest on the spot. Chen Ao was not so leisurely, hiding in the corner with Xuan Ning, carefully observing the surrounding situation. Suddenly, Xiao Shuixian came over dressed in a strong suit.

Chen Ao's heartbeat accelerated suddenly. Xiao Shuixian glared at him, but said to Xuan Ning: "Sister Ning, I heard that the city is being attacked in front, let's go and see the excitement!"

Xuan Ning hesitated: "This ...... Not good......"

"What's so bad. Xiao Shuixian pulled Xuanning's hand, "I heard that this Lanzhou has been suffering for a month, and I don't know what kind of iron wall it is, let's go and take a look!"

Xiao Shuixian couldn't help but say, and pulled her away. Chen Ao didn't want to stay here alone, and he was afraid that Xiao Shuixian would be angry and tell Xuanning everything, so he had to follow closely.

The three men mounted their horses and ran out of the camp and up the hillside for a while. Coming to an open area, from here from a distance, you can just see the north gate of Lanzhou. Chen Ao looked left and right, and saw that there were also many Khitans around, watching the battle from afar. Among them, there are many generals, pointing and pointing ahead, as if commenting on the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

Chen Ao raised his eyes and saw that outside the city of Lanzhou, tens of thousands of Liao troops were lined up neatly. The Great Song Dynasty Imperial Flag at the head of the city is waving in the wind, and the momentum is amazing. He had already heard that Zhao Heng had arrived in Lanzhou, and now it seemed to be true. If it weren't for Zhao Heng guarding here, I'm afraid that the Liao army would have broken through to Lanzhou and invaded the Central Plains Huahua World.

With a dull sound of a horn, the Liao army launched an attack. Arrows flew like locusts under the city, covering the sky and the sun. Every minute and every second, countless lives fall. The Liao army approached the city gate step by step with difficulty. The Song army at the head of the city also used all their resources to block the advance of the Liao army.

Chen Ao has already experienced such a tragic scene. Standing outside the bureau at this moment, I still can't help but shake my heart and be shocked. Xiao Shuixian didn't say a word, her two little hands were tightly clenched into fists, and she seemed to be shocked by such a scene.

She insisted on leaving Shangjing and following the Liao army south, just because she was curious about what the war was like and wanted to see it with her own eyes. Helplessly, Empress Dowager Xiao was always worried about her safety and refused to let her get closer. Only now did she truly witness the horrors of war.

The Liao army held a shield and was already within a hundred steps of the city wall. The obstacles piled up at the gates of the city have been destroyed. Even the gates were burned down in flames, leaving only an empty doorway with gravel piles piled up as temporary gates. Chen Ao couldn't help but sigh, it seems that in the past month, the war that has occurred here is far more tragic than other places!

The Song army tried its best, but it still couldn't stop the Liao army from approaching the gap at the city gate. Just as the Liao army was about to rush in, a row of Song troops with distinct armor suddenly appeared at the gate of the city. These Song troops occupied a favorable position, completely blocked the city gate, and the spears in their hands pushed forward, quite a husband and a man could not open the momentum.

Under the leadership of the leading general, they guarded the doorway, and as long as one person fell, the back immediately filled the vacant position, and never let the Liao army get close to half a step. The two armies fought in the narrow door hole for a long time, and the Liao army filled in countless lives, but was never able to break through this last barrier.

Chen Ao suddenly heard two Liao army generals discussing not far from him: "The Song army has generals like Li Jilong and Zhang Huan leading the army to defend the city, I'm afraid our army will really stop in Lanzhou!"

The man next to him also sighed and agreed. Chen Ao listened quietly for a while, and suddenly heard the horn sounding in the Liao army's formation, which was a signal to retreat. The Liao army under the city immediately retreated in an orderly manner, leaving only corpses in the vast open space, which was shocking.

The battle lasted for several hours, and by the time the two armies had completely ceased fighting, it was already dusk. Chen Ao and the others also watched for a few hours unconsciously, but they didn't realize that it was getting late. When a few people came back to their senses, Xiao Shuixian's little maid Xiaolan hurriedly came to inform Xiao Shuixian that the Queen Mother wanted to see her.

Xiao Shuixian glared at Chen Ao, his eyes full of threat. Chen Ao lowered his head a little weakly, and waited for her to leave, and then went down the mountain with Xuan Ning.

Xuan Ning suddenly asked, "What happened between you and Miss Xiao?"

Chen Ao was startled, and when he turned around and saw the suspicious look in Xuan Ning's eyes, his heart was even more empty. He casually perfunctory, but he failed to dispel the doubts in Xuanning's heart. The two went down the mountain and were about to return to their tents. Suddenly, I heard someone whispering twice from the bushes.

Chen Ao turned his head and saw that it was Long Qingping. After not seeing him for a few days, Chen Ao still missed it, so he hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Little Dragon girl, where have you been these days? We want to escape from here, we have to ask for your help!"

Long Qingping smiled at him reluctantly and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry. I've just returned from the city of Shanzhou. There are two not-so-good news for you......"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought, Lao Tzu is in a hurry now, how can there be bad news?

Long Qingping said: "I inquired that His Majesty the Emperor has now moved to live in the palace in the south city after boosting his morale in the northern city. But I couldn't find Sister Zhao, I heard the guards say that Sister Zhao was imprisoned by the emperor!"

"What?" Chen Ao exclaimed. He had already expected that after Nangong Jun secretly spread Zhao Ling's identity, it would inevitably arouse Zhao Heng's suspicions. But now after all, it's wartime, this kind of discord is common, Zhao Heng won't use his brains at all, right?

Long Qingping continued: "There is one more thing...... I seem to have seen Xiaoya girl on the streets of Shanzhou......"
