Chapter 496: Revenge (I)

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't make a decision for a while, so she ordered the civil and military ministers to retreat. Xiao Shuixian and everyone else left the big tent, and then walked over to the Empress Dowager Xiao with a smile.

Empress Dowager Xiao's originally majestic face had a tired look. But as soon as he saw Xiao Shuixian, he immediately smiled. Xiao Shuixian casually saluted to the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and Yelu Longxu was also very good with this godsister, and got up to greet him.

Xiao Shuixian happily called: "Godmother!" and flew to the side of the Empress Dowager Xiao like a bird.

There was no other chair beside Empress Dowager Xiao, so she squeezed into the wide chair with Empress Dowager Xiao. Although it will not be crowded, this throne is a symbol of authority, and Xiao Shuixian sat on it. And Empress Dowager Xiao did not blame it at all, which shows her love for Xiao Shuixian.

Xiao Shuixian said: "Godmother is working for state affairs again? In my opinion, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is vulnerable, and we will definitely be able to unify the Central Plains!"

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't take her naïve words seriously, shook her head and smiled: "Silly boy, the Great Song Dynasty has a vast territory and outstanding people, how can it be so easy to defeat?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and touched the tip of Xiao Shuixian's nose, and said, "I told you not to run to this front line, why didn't you listen? In case of danger, what should you do? I heard that this time you were almost ambushed by the Song army when transporting grain?"

Xiao Shuixian stuck out his tongue and said, "There are two days left until my godmother's birthday, how can I not come?"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and said, "It's hard for you that this kid still remembers this kind of thing." Now that the war is raging, where do I have the heart to celebrate my birthday?"

Yelu Longxu interjected at this time: "No matter what, the queen mother's birthday must not be forgotten!"

Empress Dowager Xiao had a kind smile on her face, hugged one with one hand, and said with a smile: "As long as you two let me worry, it's fine!"

Xiao Shuixian said with a smile: "Brother Longxu is the emperor, so naturally he won't let you worry." I'm the most well-behaved, when did I let my godmother worry about it?"

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "When will you get married, your godmother won't worry about it!"

Yelu Longxu nodded and said, "Sister Narcissus has also reached the age of marriage, but which young man have you ever taken a fancy to?

Xiao Shuixian pursed her lips and said, "That big black bear, you think it's good brother!" She moved in her heart, and suddenly smiled: "Godmother, I will choose a Han man to marry in the future!"

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned, and there was a moment of trance. Yelu Longxu frowned and said, "Am I a bad Khitan man, why are you looking for Han people?"

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "The Khitan people are as good as the Khitans, and the Han people are also as good as the Han people." As long as Xian'er likes it, you can do anything!"

Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and she looked at Xiao Shuixian and smiled, "Do you already have a sweetheart?"

Xiao Shuixian panicked, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, no ......"

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't ask, but said with a smile: "I think Master Wen's son is good, knowledgeable, and has a good kung fu! By the way, that Nangong Jun is also good!"

Yelu Longxu said: "We have countless men in Da Liao, why should the queen mother mention a general?"

It can be heard that Yelu Longxu doesn't like Nangong Jun. This sentence is exactly what Xiao Shuixian wants. She didn't dare to tell Nangong Jun's intention to ** her, otherwise Chen Ao would inevitably be involved. If Yelu Longxu and Empress Dowager Xiao knew that Chen Ao actually took the opportunity to do a good thing with her, they would have to cut off Chen Ao's head.

Don't look at Empress Dowager Xiao's kind eyes now, it's because she is facing her own children. Xiao Shuixian had seen Empress Dowager Xiao's decisiveness and ruthlessness in dealing with the enemy. For the safety of Chen Ao, Xiao Shuixian had no choice but to let Nangong Jun get away with it for a while.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't really want to match Xiao Shuixian and Nangong Jun, Fang Cai's sentence was just a joke. The three of them chatted for a while and had dinner together before returning to their respective tents.

Xiao Shuixian was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager Xiao, so she naturally wanted to live by the Empress Dowager Xiao's side. In order to avoid being recognized, Chen Ao could only find a remote corner to set up a tent. Previously, he was a little tired of Xuan Ning and Long Qingping's questioning, so he deliberately avoided the two, set up the tent, and ran to a hillside alone.

He leaned against the stone and looked at the campfire down the slope, feeling very unreal in a trance. Chen Ao sighed, his thoughts chaotic. He thought of Zhao Ling who was in Lanzhou City at the moment, and he didn't know what Zhao Heng would do with her.

When Zhao Heng promised to let Zhao Ling go, he made it very clear that Zhao Ling's identity must not be revealed. Although this news was revealed by Nangong Jun, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Heng will not be suspicious. If there are more ill-intentioned people in the Great Song Dynasty who make a fuss about this matter, wouldn't Zhao Ling's situation be even worse?

He thought of the tragic offensive and defensive battle he saw Song Liao today. Chen Ao was no longer sure of the historical knowledge he had learned in the past. Just like what Cao Yi said at the beginning, who knows if the arrival of the two of them will have changed history? If the Great Liao really destroyed the Great Song Dynasty this time, what kind of changes will happen to the world in the future?

In the end, Chen Ao thought of himself again. A month ago, he was seriously injured and could not escape, so he could only hide in the Liao army. Now that the injury is healed, I still can't escape. Nangong Jun knows his details, and his identity is bound to be hidden for too long.

Just as he was thinking, Chen Ao suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of Liao soldiers holding torches on the hillside walking in the direction of his tent. At first, he didn't take it seriously, until he saw a Liao army in the lead ask a Khitan man on the side of the road a few words. The man stretched out his hand and pointed very clearly at Chen Ao's broken felt canopy, and said two words. The group of Liao soldiers immediately walked over quickly.

Chen Ao's heart suddenly became alert, and he suddenly turned over and hid behind the stones. I saw that the Liao soldiers surrounded his tent, and two people suddenly came behind him. One is Nangong Jun, and the other is Xiao Tart!

Chen Ao guessed what was going on in an instant. Presumably, Nangong Jun has always had doubts about his identity, but he has never been convinced. Nangong Jun endured it for a long time, and it was not until he returned to the camp in Shanzhou that he asked Xiao Tzu Rin. And Xiao Tzu Rin naturally knew that Chen Ao could not have surrendered, so he ordered a team of people and immediately followed Nangong Jun to confirm. Xiao Tzu Rin couldn't believe that Chen Ao fell off the cliff and could not die. He couldn't let a high-ranking general of the Song army lurk under his nose.

Chen Ao's heart was pounding, and he watched his things being thrown out. Since he couldn't find anyone, Xiao Tart-rin immediately ordered his men to disperse and search everywhere. Chen Ao didn't dare to stay where he was, so he slowly retreated into the woods and ran away.
