Chapter 361: Official construction starts

The girl holding the sword was stunned, and then a kind of unconcealed humiliation spread throughout her body. She went out to assassinate for the first time, and she didn't think about many things carefully. Unexpectedly, she was deceived by this guy. Now Chen Ao is still pretending to be innocent, and she is both ashamed and anxious. She feels that Chen Ao's words just now make her embarrassed that she can't even hold the sword in her hand.

"Shameless villain, you dare to laugh!" The girl stabbed the sword in front of the sword, and the sword edge almost hit Chen Ao's throat. As long as she used a little force, anyone would believe that the sword could penetrate through Chen Ao's back neck in the next moment.

Xuan Lan'er exclaimed: "Pin'er, don't hurt his life."

Pin'er was very respectful to Xuan Lan'er, and quickly shrank the sword back half an inch, saying, "What are the master doing with the life of this dog thief?"

Chen Ao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't move, it would be fine. If it was reasonable, with his three-inch tongue, his life would be saved, and he shouted: "The student has a question I want to ask."

Xuan Lan'er just thought Chen Ao was asking why he was assassinated, and smiled indifferently and said in a complicated way: "Please tell me if I envoy Chen."

Chen Ao said, "This girl Pin'er is only three or four years apart from the lady. Why does Pin'er call you a master? It's strange, maybe you became a master at the age of three or four? Hey, no, or when you were fifteen, you happened to pick her up and coax her and deceive her to become a master. Alas, there are many students, but most of them are more than a hundred years older than me. When I met you today, I realized that there are many incredible things in the world. Could it be that Miss Lan'er knows how to keep her face alive, but she is actually over forty years old, but she has practiced some *** skills. At first glance, is it that she is only 20 years old?"

Zhilaner: "..."

Pin'er shouted, "If you talk nonsense, I'll stab you to death!"

Chen Ao immediately surrendered: "Sorry, sorry, the student was just a little curious, so he asked casually." After saying that, Chen Ao immediately said with a stern face: "The two girls and I have no resentment, why do you want to kill me?"

Pin'er said: "You collude with the Khitans, conspire with the Khitans, and sign a peace agreement with the Liao people to obstruct the Northern Expedition. This crime is enough to make millions of people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun kill you a thousand times and ten thousand times. You thief, you are so slick and thought you could do whatever you want with the emperor's favor? Humph, I see who can save you today."

Chen Ao looked at Xuan Lan'er and asked seriously: "Miss Lan'er also thinks I am a person who seeks glory?"

Xuan Lan'er pursed her red lips and pondered for a moment: "At first I saw Master Chen, Master Chen stepped forward under the crazy words of the Khitans. The little woman really didn't expect that you were Chen Ao, who advocated peace talk. It was precisely because of this that Pin'er wanted to pierce you with a sword before I would stop her." She sighed softly and said hesitantly: "I want to hear your explanation."

Chen Ao sighed and said, "Actually, even if you kill me, the peace agreement between the Song and Liao Dynasty will only be concluded faster. Do you think that if I die on the territory of the Liao people, the Song Dynasty will be at odds with the Liao Kingdom? You are so stupid!" Chen Ao said with fearlessness: "As long as I die, the Liao people can immediately declare that I was killed by the Jin people. Who would not believe this reason? Everyone knows that only the Jin people have reason to kill me. To be honest, I really have some influence in front of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Once I die, the officials will be furious. I am afraid that by then, it is not just a peace agreement, but even if the Song army goes north and fights against the Jin people with the Khitans, it may not be necessary."

Pin'er was stunned, holding the sword in her hand a little weak, and snorted coldly: "So what? Killing you can at least relieve the hatred in our hearts."

Xuan Lan'er said, "Pin'er, don't do anything nonsense. What he said makes sense." After that, he turned to Chen Ao and said, "There is only one thing that I just can't understand. Since Mr. Chen has such talent and is favored by the officials, why should he join the Liao people in the world?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I said that I never discuss major events with women, but there is one thing I can tell you bluntly. Once I die, your goal will not be achieved. If I don't die, there may be a chance."

"Opportunity, what opportunity?"

Chen Ao said slowly: "Forcing the Liao people to ced the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and all the south of Jin Prefecture will be returned to the Song Dynasty!"

Xuan Lan'er was stunned, his eyes gradually became brighter, but in vain it became dim again, and he said, "Sir Chen is really good at talking big."

Pin'er said impulsively: "Master, why are you still rushing with him? Just kill him. He is deliberately delaying time and waiting for someone to save him."

Chen Ao ignored Pin'er, looked at Xuan Lan'er with clear eyes and said, "Ms. Lan'er thinks that the students came to Nanjing from thousands of miles away just for jokes?"

"The dying insect is a hundred feet, and I am thinking about expelling the Khitans in a Northern Expedition. How can I do it with the military strength of the Song Dynasty? Besides, expelling the Khitans, who will help the Song Dynasty resist the Jin people in the north? There are two types of peace talks. The former is to cede land for peace, while the latter is to force people to seek peace. My peace talks are the latter. Today is to cede several states of the Liao people, and tomorrow is to force him to continue to cede land and land. Ten years later, the Khitans are dying, and our Song Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. Only after diligent training of soldiers can we decide to fight. Now, what are the Northern Expeditions? Don't the two girls feel overestimated? Could it be that my Northern Expeditions in the Song Dynasty have not been enough? But did it succeed?"

Pin'er said angrily: "Nonsense."

Xuan Lan'er fell into deep thought, his eyes turned, and he said, "Master Chen may be right, but it is difficult for people to convince."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Believe it or not is your business. I will negotiate with the Liao people tomorrow. If you are willing, you will kill and cut them now. Let's just listen to the emperor."

It was said that Chen Ao was a little tired, and it was really uncomfortable to be forced by two little girls with a knife. He thought to himself, just kill them if they want to kill them. Instead of kneeling down and crying to beg for mercy, he wouldn't be a respectable man.

Pin'er sneer said, "Don't think I dare not kill you." The sword thrust forward, the sword tip pierced Chen Ao's throat, and a drop of bright red blood flowed along the sword.

Chen Ao looked at Xuan Lan'er blankly, his eyes were still clear, but a slight pain in his throat made him frown and he couldn't help but groan.

"Pin'er, let him go!" Xuan Lan'er suddenly changed his tone, his eyes were deep and impatient, and he looked at Chen Ao and said, "Look at how he negotiated peace with the Liao people. If what he said was untrue, kill him immediately!"

Pin'er stamped her feet and said, "Master..."

Xuan Lan'er said: "Don't mess around. He is right. Killing him will only speed up the peace talks between the Song and Liao dynasties. Instead of doing so, let's trust him for a while to see if he can really gain benefits from the Liao people for the Han people."

Pin'er said, "Master, this person is slick and can't be trusted easily."

Xuan Lan'er closed her eyes, and the snow girl in the iceberg sighed for a long time: "I'm tired, Master Chen, please come back."

It was very late in winter. Even though it was Yin time, the whole sky was still gray. The lights of beans were shaking in the small building. Xuan Lan'er stood in front of the building and watched the figure leave under the enveloping of dozens of entourages, while Xuan Lan'er's eyes flashed with complex helplessness.

“Master…”

"You don't have to say anything more." Xuan Lan'er gently removed the sword in Pin'er's hand and said, "I have a feeling that he is not a bad person, otherwise he would not have stood up just now. This person is very strange, if it is difficult for people to understand. Alas, I have seen countless people, but I have never seen such a person who can still talk and laugh in the face of danger." Thinking of the figure gradually moving away in the darkness, Xuan Lan'er smiled slightly, with a little gentleness in her smile, but then, her pretty face became stern again and said coldly, "Pin'er, go monitor him. If what he said is untrue, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future. We must first eradicate the roots."

Pin'er said, "Master can't continue here anymore. If he lied to the master, he might have informed the Liao people. Maybe many Liao people have surrounded him now."

Xuan Lan'er shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, he won't do this." After that, he yawned lazily and said, "Master is tired, Pin'er, thank you for your hard work."

Pin'er picked up the sword and bowed to Xuan Lan'er: "Don't worry, Master." Leave this words, and the beautiful figure disappeared at the end of the building.

…………………………………………………………………………

The next morning, the mist shrouded from the sky like a gauze. Shen Ao closed his hands and stomped his feet and took the people back to the Wanguo Pavilion. He did not reveal the matter in the boudoir. Therefore, Zhou Heng deliberately fell behind the team and was unwilling to contact Shen Ao, and felt silently frustrated at Shen Ao.

When he arrived at Wanguo Pavilion, he immediately gave birth to a carbon furnace and arranged for the imperial guards to go to bed first, but Shen Ao couldn't sleep. He asked the servants from Wanguo Pavilion to wake Wu Wencai. Wu Wencai came over with his shoes, and when he saw Shen Ao, he complained: "The lord has not returned overnight, so he asked the officials to worry about death."

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wu, I'm not a three-year-old child, so I won't be lost." Then he said seriously, "Mr. Wu, from today, we will start construction."

"start?"

Shen Ao said seriously: "Of course, we are discussing peace with the Liao people. Lord Wu, do you think we are here to visit?"

Wu Wencai secretly complained: It turns out that this imperial envoy knew that he was here to discuss peace, but I thought you were here to look for flowers and willows.

Shen Ao said: "Mr. Wu, if you let the news go out, you just say that I want to talk now, let the Liao Kingdom send someone to talk, and Shen is waiting at the Wanguo Pavilion."

Wu Wencai said: "I haven't exchanged the letter of state yet, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable. Besides, if such a discussion is discussed in the Wanguo Pavilion, is it a bit hasty?"

Shen Ao did not explain too much and said with a smile: "Just go quickly, Lord Wu."

Wu Wencai had to go. Shen Ao took advantage of this time to take a nap and waited for someone to wake him up. Only then did he know that the Liao Kingdom sent Yelu Dashi to negotiate.

Yelu Dashi... Shen Ao thought of this legendary awesome man, and his mind was running quickly. Why did the Emperor of Liao send him to negotiate? It should be noted that Yelu Dashi was a military officer. The king of Liao sent him to prove two points. One is that Yelu Dashi was extremely trusted by the king of Liao, so he entrusted all the state affairs to him. As for the second, it also shows that the Liao Kingdom attaches great importance to peace talks, and even abandons the procedures and directly allows Yelu Dashi to appear, instead of sending officials from the Ministry of Rites to contact him first.

They were anxious to wait.

This is Chen Ao's judgment.

Chen Ao was very happy. He wanted to make the people of Liao in a hurry, but now it's just the beginning, and my buddy is going to waste them to death.

Yelu Dashi was in his forties, wearing a pointed fur hat, with a huge piece of jade inlaid on the brim of the hat. His face was a bit unhealthy blue and red. He didn't look like a mighty general at all, but rather like a sick man. He was wearing a cotton jacket with a left-sided lapel and a cloak on his outside. The most eye-catching thing was the two curved beards on his lips, which almost looked up to the sky, making people very funny.

This is an ugly person, with only those pair of eyes, which are aggressive, like a sharp edge in the pocket.

Yelu Dashi came in with deer leather boots and threw away the snow on his body. When he saw Chen Ao, he was not in a hurry to greet him. He looked up and down at Chen Ao, and then smiled and said, "Is this a scholar Chen Ao Chen who is famous all over the world?" He deliberately did not mention the identity of the imperial envoy Shen Ao, and seemed calm and composed, just hoping to make a gesture: You are not in a hurry to talk, and we Khitans are not in a hurry to discuss peace, see what tricks you can play with.

Chen Ao greeted him for a few words, and then he realized that Yelu Dashi was not the same as he imagined. This person was eloquent, not like a general, but more like a gentleman. The two of them deliberately did not come into contact with peace talks, but instead talked about the weather together. When talking about the famous and historical sites in Nanjing, Yelu Dashi talked endlessly to introduce some scenic spots to Chen Ao, and then said: "If Master Chen had some leisure time, I would be very interested to go with Master Chen to enjoy the snow scenery of Qianliu Lake. There are many famous places in the south, but the Qianliu Lake in winter will probably be very suitable for the wishes of a talented man like Master Chen."

Chen Ao said: "I will be bothering General Yelu, but I don't dare to visit Nanjing anymore."
