Chapter 480: The Narrow Road (II)

Nangong Jun's eyes were originally looking at Xiao Shuixian who was sitting opposite, and suddenly felt a gaze on his face. Nangong Jun looked back strangely and saw Chen Ao carrying a wine bag, staring at him dumbfounded.

Nangong Jun was also a little surprised when he suddenly saw him here. Moreover, he had just returned from the camp of Empress Dowager Xiao on the border of Lanzhou, and heard that Chen Ao was killed by Xiao Tzu Rin's arrow. At this moment, he was naturally surprised to see that Chen Ao was still alive.

Chen Ao's heart was pounding, his face was also very ugly, and he walked over and put down the wine bag and wine cup. Then he turned around and walked to Xiao Ting's seat and put away the wine bag. Xiao Ting raised the wine bag, laughed, and said, "Nangong Gongzi, please!"

Nangong Jun couldn't figure out why Chen Ao would swagger in the Liao camp for a while, so he hurriedly raised his wine bag and took a sip with Xiao Ting boldly. Xiao Ting was also very happy to see that he was refreshed. Immediately afterwards, the master chef brought in the lamb that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The two guests and hosts naturally exchanged a few polite words. Nangong Jun didn't have time to think about Chen Ao.

Originally, Xiao Ting asked Chen Ao to come over and ask him to serve Nangong Jun and pour wine for him. But since Nangong Jun is also bold and doesn't need a wine cup, Chen Ao naturally has a lot of things to do. He walked to Xuan Ning and stood, his heart was in turmoil, and he was afraid that Nangong Jun would expose his identity on the spot, and there would be a big battle. But his body has not fully recovered, and he is bound to become a burden on Xuanning.

Chen Ao's expression was seen by Xuan Ning. She took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Ao also replied in a low voice: "That person is my sworn enemy, I'm afraid it's going to be bad today!"

Xuan Ning was really taken aback, and secretly wary. Yirong and Ku were driven away by Jingchen before they went to Shaolin that day, so they didn't recognize Nangong Jun, and they didn't know the grievances between the two of them, but they were indifferent.

And Xiao Shuixian didn't seem to like to participate in this kind of social occasion, and boredly used a knife to flick the barbecue on the plate. Chen Ao thought to himself, if we really want to make a move later, I can't say that we have to hold Xiao Shuixian hostage, so that Xuan Ning and I can have a chance to leave. It's not that Lao Tzu doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it's just that the catastrophe is coming, and it is important to save your life first.

Just thinking about it, Nangong Jun opened his mouth and asked, "General Xiao, may I ask which sect and faction these masters are heroes?"

He stretched out his hand and waved at the few people opposite, Xiao Ting laughed and said, "Nangong Gongzi, these are also Xiao's distinguished guests......

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Yirong and Yiku, ready to make an introduction. But at this moment, Chen Ao was standing behind Xuan Ning, and Nangong Jun raised this question, which also meant to probe Chen Ao's details. Hearing Xiao Ting's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, how did this kid Chen Ao become Xiao Ting's guest again?

In fact, how did he know that Chen Ao just happened to be a fox and a fake tiger. Xiao Ting didn't take him seriously at all, so it was naturally impossible to list a subordinate separately to explain.

Xiao Ting pointed at Yirong Yikun and said, "Nangong Gongzi, these two masters are Zen Sect Seniors. This Xuan girl is their high foot. To tell you the truth, thanks to these three masters, Xiao was able to take Dingzhou City so quickly! Hahaha......"

He laughed proudly, Nangong Jun secretly thought, what kind of mess is this, the monk actually accepted a young girl as an apprentice? I don't know if these two monks have a platform near the water to get the moon first......

He was thinking about dirty things in his heart, but he toasted the three of them with a smile on his face. Yirong Yikun and Xuanning also accompanied a cup. Nangong Jun looked at Xiao Shuixian who was under Xiao Ting again, and asked, "I don't know who this girl is?"

Xiao Ting laughed and said, "She, she's not a master. She is the little girl Xiao Shuixian, and Xiao specially called out to accompany the distinguished guests. But this girl is spoiled by me and doesn't know how to be polite. Please don't blame Nangong Gongzi!"

Nangong Jun laughed and said, "It turned out to be Lord Xiao, how dare you blame him?" Lord Xiao is really straightforward, it is a rare jade. It's a blessing to meet the county lord in the next place!"

As soon as he came, he saw Xiao Shuixian and was immediately attracted by her beauty, and only then did he know her true identity, and his heart couldn't help but itch even more. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be able to pocket such a stunner who has both status and beauty?

Nangong Jun's mind turned a few times, why didn't Chen Ao have a chaotic mind and think of various methods? Nangong Jun finished asking others, and then pointed to Chen Ao and asked, "This is ......?"

Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment, where are there any others here? When he saw that Nangong Jin was referring to Chen Ao, he couldn't help laughing and said, "He...... What kind of character is he, what is his name Zhao......"

Chen Ao knew that he couldn't let them talk any more, so he suddenly felt blessed to his heart, and interjected: "I've seen Nangong Gongzi, and now I'm Miss Xiao's painter!"

"Painter?" Xiao Ting and Nangong Jun were stunned at the same time.

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Xiao, why don't you tell them?"

Xiao Shuixian didn't expect Chen Ao to suddenly mention himself, so he nodded stunned and said, "Yes...... Yes, he is teaching me to paint now, which is a birthday gift for the Queen Mother!"

Nangong Jun heard her mention Empress Dowager Xiao again, and his heart sank. He only listened to these three words, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with Chen Ao, and it was impossible to break the casserole at this moment to ask the end. Especially when it comes to Empress Dowager Xiao, Nangong Jun can't help but be cautious.

It turned out that Nangong Jun fled from the capital that day, and he couldn't live in panic. Later, when he came to Liaojing, he was actually appreciated by Xiao Tzu Lin and recommended him to the Empress Dowager Xiao. Empress Dowager Xiao was ambitious to attack the Song Dynasty at that time, and Nangong Jun also turned into resentment because of personal enmity. The two hit it off, and Nangong Jun knew the Great Song Dynasty very well, and his subordinates also had a relationship with Cao Mang and could provide intelligence for the Liao army. Therefore, Nangong Jun has since become the guest of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

However, Nangong Jun knows that this woman is scheming and powerful. Even Nangong Jun is in awe of Empress Dowager Xiao. When it comes to Empress Dowager Xiao at this moment, Nangong Jun naturally has to be cautious. He knew that Empress Dowager Xiao was very friendly to the Han people, maybe it was Empress Dowager Xiao who took a fancy to Chen Ao and rebelled against him and brought him under his command, which was not impossible.

Chen Ao now has a good relationship with the Great Song Emperor, and if you want him to play a role, you can't let others know that Chen Ao surrendered to the Liao army. Maybe the rumor that Chen Ao was hit by an arrow and fell off a cliff was just a lie made up by Empress Dowager Xiao in order to deceive Song Jun's ears and eyes! Or is it that Chen Ao's women are still in the Song Realm, and Chen Ao does not dare to reveal his true identity for the sake of their safety? The more Nangong Jun thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and his mentality naturally became more complicated.
