Chapter 369: Return to Bianjing

Witnessing Yelu Dashi's ascension ceremony, Yelu Dashi was full of energy at this moment. Chen Ao stood at the stairs. Listening to the old fox speaks with the kindness of the late emperor and angrily scolding Yelu Ding's sins, he felt very ironic. If he had warned Yelu Chun in advance that day, Yelu Chun would not have died. On the surface, the late emperor was killed by Yelu Ding, but in fact, Yelu Dashi would not have any connection.

After the throne ceremony, Yelu Dashi met Chen Ao in the back hall. The two looked at each other silently. The two old foxes didn't need to say too much, and they could understand the other's meaning from each other's eyes.

Yelu Dashi means: I hope you can keep this secret. Only when I am here will the Khitans abide by the agreement between the two sides.

Chen Ao means: Brother, it’s not easy for me to come all the way. Can you give me some specialties to bring back to me?

Khan, it seems that he is a little bit unethical when he wants specialties at this time. He is still preparing for war. He is already nervous about food and salary, but Chen Ao's silent request is still very reasonable. You dare not kill me now. Your mouth is on my mouth. Do you give me a hush fee?

Yelu Dashi suddenly laughed, and Chen Ao's eyes relieved him. What he feared the most was that Chen Ao had no desires and no desires. Such a person is the most dangerous, because only when a person has selfish desires can he satisfy himself.

Yelu Dashi asked in spring breeze: "When will Mr. Chen return to his country?"

Chen Ao said: "It's these days."

Yelu Dashi said oh and said regretfully: "I will give you my own gifts to you at that time. In addition to this, I will also prepare some gifts. Please accept them with a smile."

Chen Ao said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are polite. I am the envoy of the country. I am afraid that I will be criticized for accepting Your Majesty's gifts. Let's forget it."

Yelu Dashi smiled and said, "It's just some local products, Mr. Chen doesn't have to be polite."

Chen Ao laughed and talked to the smart man without any effort. He thanked him and then said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Yelu Dashi said: "Scholar Chen is the dragon among people. I have a daughter who is still in the name of the Boudoir. It's a pity that she is a little younger, otherwise she would be betrothed to Shi Xueshen."

Are you going to pack the specialties and give them to your daughter? Chen Ao laughed. The new master of the Great Liao Dynasty was really generous and hurriedly said: "I already have four wives in my family. I can play the Ye Zi Card enough to make up a table. Chen is grateful for Your Majesty's beauty."

After a greeting, Chen Ao withdrew from the Liao Palace. He knew that Yelu Dashi had many things to do, such as eliminating dissidents. In this city of Nanjing, I don’t know how many people are going to be unlucky and how many people want their heads to fall to the ground. But it doesn’t matter. It has nothing to do with him. He went back to the Wanguo Pavilion and urged people to pack their luggage and make plans for the return journey.

Before leaving, he could not help but go to Qinglefang to say goodbye to Xuanlan'er. Xuanlan'er was not in a hurry to talk to Shen Ao, but just took out the guzheng and played a song. When the lingering sound lingered, he vomited Lan Fang's breath with regret: "Is Mr. Chen leaving? Although you and me only have a few encounters, I heard that Mr. Chen is leaving, but the little girl is still quite reluctant to let go." She turned her eyes and looked at Chen Ao, looking at him, it was really hard to let go.

Chen Ao didn't know whether her words were true or not, and smiled and said, "After returning to Bianjing, I will tell His Majesty about you, but how can Miss Lan'er contact us?"

Xuan Lan'er thought for a while and said, "Justice Chen is here first. I will ask Pin'er to contact you at that time."

Chen Ao nodded and wanted to sit for a while, but he felt it was not very suitable, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Two days later, the snow stopped a little, and the delegation finally left the Wanguo Pavilion and hid Nanjing in silver. Dozens of carriages walked slowly, surrounded by imperial guards riding horses, and a Khitan palace tent army followed far away.

The journey was dusty, Chen Ao was in the carriage and sometimes thought about his thoughts, sometimes he fell asleep. After walking for seven or eight days, the mission arrived in Jizhou.

Jizhou was originally an ancient city, not far from the border of Song and Liao, so the Khitans expanded the city here. Now there are many people fleeing south, and there are even more people. There are refugees everywhere outside the city.

The Song army had arrived in advance and was stationed outside the city. Although the Liao army in the city was reluctant to leave, under the general trend, they could only pack up and prepare to return north. Therefore, although the outside of the city was bustling, the city was closed in thousands of gates.

Before leaving, the Khitans' military discipline was loose and there were many looting incidents. Moreover, Jizhou would be transferred to the Song Dynasty in a few days, so no one interfered, which was also the last vent of the Khitans.

Chen Ao arrived outside the city and met with Du Yu Hou outside the city first. When he heard about this, he was furious and asked Du Yu Hou why he ignored it.

Don’t see that Chen Ao is just a small boss, but after all, he has the status of an imperial envoy, and Chen Ao’s background is extraordinary. Yu Hou was so scared that his face looked like a dirt and said carefully: “The Khitans are about to change defenses. I am afraid of conflict with them and causing any changes, so I have to let them do whatever they want.”

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Follow me to the city."

After entering the city, he saw that the city was in chaos. Chen Ao personally arrived at the Khitan military camp, called the Khitan general who was stationed, and said with a stern face: "You Khitans have no faith, what do you want to do?"

Chen Ao's unreasonable words made the Khitan general confused and said nothing but trustworthy? What is this statement?

The Khitan general was about to argue a few words, and Chen Ao sneered and said repeatedly: "I have robbed these days very happily, right? Since that's the case, I will immediately write a letter and discuss this matter with your new emperor. Otherwise, you better be smarter. This peace talk was pleaded by your Khitans. If you dare to indulge the soldiers to rob, I will see that in order to calm down my Song Dynasty, your new emperor will chop off your dog head to calm the matter, or tear down the peace talks!"

The Khitan general's attitude suddenly weakened, and he quickly apologized and promised to purify the army.

It would be easier to scare the Khitan general. Some people are like this. The more you give him a face, the more he becomes more and more arrogant. If you scold him, he will restrain himself.

Chen Ao was inconvenient to stay, so he only asked about the recent situation in Jizhou and set off immediately.

The bumpy road was about to fall apart, and the whole body was very weak. Sometimes I couldn't stand the dullness in the car. Chen Ao would walk out of the car and ride a horse with Zhou Heng and others for a while. By the end of November, Bianjing City was finally in sight.

The imperial guards riding on horses were all excited and ran wildly. Chen Ao lifted the curtains of the car window and looked out. A towering city gradually revealed its outline. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and felt like he was home. After more than two months of this mission, he was extremely tired. He just wanted to go home, take a good bath, have a full meal, and have a good sleep.

Zhou Heng rode his horse to Chen Ao's car window, pointed at the front and said, "Look, Lord Shen, there are many people there, I guess they are here to welcome us."

Chen Aohe nodded, and when the carriage arrived outside the city, he saw many officials waiting here for a long time, and they were all happy. The ritual officials played rituals with musicians. One of the towering old men was wearing purple clothes, fish bags, and boots, and walked over, saying, "I am here to wait for Master Chen according to your Majesty's order."

Chen Ao got out of the car. The old man in front of him was still an old acquaintance. He was thin and wore a first-class public uniform, a winged hat, and his hair and beard were all white. He only had a pair of eyes, which seemed turbid, but had a stable aura.

"Why is Taishi Cai coming? The officials deserve to die. How can you help Taishi greet him?" Chen Ao walked over with a smile, his legs slightly bent, and he wanted to salute.

Of course, this is just a gesture. Cai Jing immediately supported him and said with a smile: "Sir Chen is the most meritorious person in the world. How can I accept your great gift? Your trip to Liao Kingdom must be a hard time and should have a good rest, so I won't waste your time. You can follow me to the palace and meet the official family."

He held Chen Ao's forearm, and could not hide his appreciation for Chen Ao in his eyes. However, this posture was not true or false. If he was sincere, it would be impossible to have a relationship between Chen Ao and Cai Jing, but he and Shen Ao were incompatible, but the face revealed nothing but appreciation for the younger generation, and there was no such thing as a slutty act.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's even harder for the Grand Master to be so old."

The two stood in the pavilion and post to greet each other, and it was essential to praise each other. Then, Chen Ao was arranged in a comfortable sedan chair and entered the palace to meet the saint with the people who were greeting him.

The sedan is very comfortable and warm, and there is a faint musk smell, which makes people feel very cool; but Chen Ao sat in the comfortable sedan, and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Cai Jing was restored! This old fox was still uneasy after all, and the emperor obviously did not forget him. At this time, all obstacles to recovery had been cleared, and Cai Jing reappeared on the court stage.

"If you get back, just get back. If he dares to touch me, I will kill people, and the Buddha will kill Buddha!" ​​Chen Ao was so angry with himself in his heart.

The sedan chair stopped steadily at Zhengde Gate. Without notice, I went directly to the palace to meet. Cai Jing entered the palace with Shen Ao. The two walked side by side and there was another cold greeting. Cai Jing suddenly said, "Master Chen, my Qingfu is your classmate, and you are good friends. Since you should walk around frequently, you will come to the mansion when you have time to have time. I am very welcome."

Qingfu is the word Cai Lun. He said this, and it looked like a parent who admired Chen Ao. It made people feel warm when they heard it, but Chen Ao secretly complained in his heart: Classmates, friends, and old foxes are really hypocritical.

Chen Ao said seriously: "This must be, the students must go."

Cai Jing said again: "I appreciate you very much this time, so this time I plan to submit a memorial and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to give you a heavy reward. Master Chen, you are young and promising, and the day you soar to the sky is just around the corner."
