Chapter 724 The Empress Dowager Cao Falls(1/2)
"truth?"
Xiao Dian felt that he could give Chen An a warning, but Chen An only used two words to make him confused.
"That's right."
Chen An laughed in his heart, thinking that this is the truth.
There is a famous saying in later generations: The truth is within the range of the cannon.
This world is like a jungle, with all kinds of fighting and disputes.
No matter what the reason is, the only thing that can ultimately "persuade" others is force.
The two sides sat down opposite each other, and there was wine on the table, so Xiao Dian raised his glass to invite him to drink.
"I won't drink it."
Chen An shook his head and refused.
“Why?”
Xiao Dian smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
Chen An took out a greasy paper bag from his cuffs, and after opening it, it was a fried quail.
He tore the fried quail in half and said with a pure face: "Please choose half of them carefully."
Xiao Dian pondered for a moment, picked up half of the fried quail and said, "I have never seen such a timid person in my life. Emperor Song actually valued you very much. It's really..."
He ate the fried quail in big mouthfuls, bit the bones until they crunched, and then swallowed a bowl of wine.
"It's your turn!"
Chen An looked at the little bowl in front of him and smiled: "That's good, too."
He raised his small bowl and raised his head suddenly...
"Back back!"
At this time, a big man came to Xiao Dian. Huang Chun, who was standing behind Shen An, suddenly drew his sword. Xiao Dian swore that he had just left for a moment.
But Chen An has finished drinking it.
He looked at Chen An's sleeves suspiciously. It was very dry and it was impossible to cheat.
Chen An smashed his mouth and said, "It's a bit bitter."
Xiao Dian smiled and said, "Our army mistakenly entered this battle, so we gave up and we would stop quarrels after we went back."
He stretched out his hand, with a look of pity in his eyes.
Chen An reached out to swear by high-fives with him, stood up and said, "Let's go back."
Xiao Dian smiled and said, "What's the hurry?"
Chen An pointed to the left and said, "I'm afraid the scouts on both sides are red-eyed, right? There are few cavalrymen in the Song Dynasty, so you can save as much as you can!"
Xiao Dian nodded with a big smile, but did not see that the hem of Huang Chun's clothes were all wet.
Huang Chun turned around quickly, and after Chen An got on the horse, the Liao people indeed checked behind him.
"Everyone is careful and there is no wine on the ground!"
Xiao Dian nodded, suddenly his face changed drastically, and he cursed: "That shameless thing! He was deceived!"
Everyone was puzzled, Xiao Dian stamped his feet and said, "The man behind him suddenly drew his sword. Chen An was drinking at this time. He was very anxious and seemed to throw it out... We were all thinking that he would put the wine in his sleeves. Yes, he specially wore a wide robe today. This made people think that it was easy to hide things inside, but he used the easiest method to pour the wine directly from his shoulders on the clothes of the man behind him..."
"Everyone is careful and take medicine."
At this time, someone brought a water bag behind him.
Xiao Dian drank the medicine and vomited a lot of things, all the fried quails were there.
"It's a deception!"
He sighed, "I prepared the vomiting medicine. He used his wide robe and big sleeves to confuse me. In the end, he deceived us with the simplest trick, which was considered a draw."
He said proudly: "There are just some medicines that can make people diarrhea in the wine. Chen An is too timid. He may be afraid that he will retreat when he meets someone in the future, hahahaha!"
Everyone praised her and Xiao Dian felt relieved and ordered her to return to the army.
The next morning, Xiao Dian habitually went to the pit, but he couldn't pull it out.
"It's uncomfortable!"
It was not pulled out on the third day. Xiao Dian was used to it, but he felt very uncomfortable.
On the fourth day, he stood in the camp and scolded.
The subordinate advised: "Everyone is careful and steady. This is the case outside, but it would be better if you use your hands to sniff it."
Xiao Dian cursed: "I have already snatched it, I can't snatch it out!"
On the fifth day, he squatted on the ground and moved, with a stall of water-like feces behind him.
"Damn it! It's all right and it's not pulling. Once it pulls... why does it keep stopping?"
...
Bianliang, Empress Dowager Cao's recent spirit... No, she has a bad temper. Ren Shouzhong has been scolded several times and has been worried all day long.
"Empress don't know what's wrong, everyone knows, be careful."
A palace maid smiled at Ren Shouzhong with a pleasing smile, looking a little charming.
The palace has a strict hierarchy and if you want to live a good life, it is best to find a backer for yourself.
And the most powerful ones are naturally those well-known eunuchs and female officials.
These eunuchs have considerable power and are very compatible. For example, some people have a house outside and raise women in the house, claiming to be the wife of the Ming media.
The eunuch who gets married can only be ridiculous when he tells it, but he can't stop it.
There are also some people who spend their lives together in the palace, which is a bit warm.
Ren Shouzhong lowered his head slightly, looking gloomy on his face.
He turned his head and looked into the hall, whispering: "My uncle went to the northwest and didn't send a letter. The empress is worried. Don't make trouble lately, otherwise you will be careful of your butt being hurt."
The palace maid was happy and blessed: "Thank you, everyone, please give me some advice."
Her joy actually tasted innocent. Ren Shouzhong was in a daze and then touched her face.
The palace maid was frightened, but then she lowered her head gently.
If Ren Shouzhong likes her, it will be her luck.
She was thinking about the news that the palace maids said. Among those news, those who lived together were living well, at least they had someone they cared about every day, so they became more enthusiastic about this day.
Ren Shouzhong let go and said, "If you have something to do in the future, you can come to find someone... Also, what are your names?"
The palace maid didn't expect that she would actually climb up to Ren Shouzhong and said happily: "Everyone knows, my slave is called Baiyun."
"Baiyun! It looks like it, but her name is Erniang, go."
Ren Shouzhong entered the hall, and Empress Dowager Cao was reading a book, but her thick eyebrows moved from time to time, making her look particularly impatient.
"Dalang has been obedient since he was a child, and has never traveled far away in recent years..."
Empress Dowager Cao put down the book, got up and turned around, looking very anxious.
"What if Dalang gets sick on the road? Also, maybe he eats well when he goes out and sleeps well? Then Shen An is a vulgar person. How could he care about these things? He just pitied Dalang..."
Ren Shouzhong complained in his heart: The uncle is very old, Shen An is only less than 20 years old, so it is the uncle who should take care of him. Why did he change his personalities with the empress dowager?
"Empress, it's windy in the northwest. The uncle brought some cloaks to him, which means the food was rougher, but there was no less beef and mutton."
Empress Dowager Cao sighed, "I regretted it a little, so I shouldn't have let Dalang go. He spent his whole life in the capital. This journey... is difficult! Thinking of the hardships he suffered, I feel sad."
The Empress Dowager claimed to be old, but Empress Dowager Cao did not look old, so it was a bit strange.
Ren Shouzhong smiled dryly and said, "Empress, then Shen An is proficient in cooking!"
If the uncle doesn’t eat well, it’s Chen An’s fault. Don’t be polite when you deal with him!
Ren Shouzhong really hated Chen An, so he spared no effort to put the medicine in a bad way.
Empress Dowager Cao became more and more anxious. She felt a little fever in the middle of the night, so scared that she hurried to find the imperial doctor.
Zhao Shu was also alarmed.
His relationship with Empress Dowager Cao has eased recently. Moreover, he is not the Empress Dowager's son. Some people outside say that he is not good to the Empress Dowager, so he has to look like a filial son when he acts like a filial son.
He stood outside the hall and waited. Later, Gao Taotao came out and whispered: "I'm angry and a little dizzy."
“Why?”
Zhao Shu felt that she was worthy of Empress Dowager Cao. Where did she get into the fire?
Is this dissatisfaction with me?
Zhao Shu sneered, and happened to see a flattering face, and said angrily: "The Empress is still recuperating, but you, a foolish slave, are actually smiling, beat me!"
Ren Shouzhong was stunned, "Officials, I... I didn't laugh!"
