In Zhongjing Dading Prefecture, the deserted palace in the past is now full of people. Xiao Nojin was defeated some time ago, and she did not dare to live in Nabo, who lived outside the city. So she immediately moved into the palace in Zhongjing City and constrained the defeated troops who fled back. However, in the end, she only restrained more than 30,000 people. When Xiao Nojin attacked Yelu Zongzhen, she used nearly 100,000 troops, but now there are less than one-third left.

"Empress, have some tea!" In the bedroom, Zhao Anren carefully delivered a cup of tea to Xiao Nojin and said, "Xiao Nojin was also worried and frightened these two days. His mouth was so anxious that he blistered. He looked much haggard and no longer looked as elegant and luxurious as before.

"Get out!" But what was unexpected was that Xiao Nojin knocked over the teacup and shouted angrily, which scared Zhao Anren and hurriedly retreated. The eunuchs and palace maids around him saw that even Zhao Anren was defeated, and they were even more silent and did not even dare to let out the atmosphere.

Zhao Anren sighed when he left the bedroom. Although Xiao Nojin scolded him, he was not angry, but secretly sad for Xiao Nojin. In fact, he was indeed loyal to Xiao Nojin. Even if everyone betrayed her, he would never have a second intention. Therefore, now that Xiao Nojin was defeated, he was also very distressed. If possible, he was even willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy for Xiao Nojin.

But at this moment, someone suddenly came hurriedly. Zhao Anren looked up and found that the person coming was Xiao Xiaoxian. However, compared to his previous arrogant attitude, Xiao Xiaoxian now has a worried look and lowered his head when walking. I wonder what he was thinking.

"Your Highness, what's the situation outside the city now?" Zhao Anren immediately stepped forward and asked when he saw Xiao Xiaoxian.

"Not really, the army outside has surrounded Zhongjing City, and many rebels have defected to His Majesty, which has made him really big. Now the city gates on all sides have been surrounded by him, and he can't escape even if he wants to." Xiao Xiaoxian replied with a calm face at this time.

When Zhao Anren heard Xiao Xiaoxian's last sentence mentioning escaping, he couldn't help but feel a sank in his heart. You must know that Xiao Xiaoxian is the person Xiao Nojin trusted the most, and was the chief general in the army before. But now facing a large army siege, he only wants to escape. If Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures were still there before, they could escape to Xijin Prefecture and make plans. However, now Yanyun has been occupied by the Song Dynasty, and they have no place to escape if they want to escape.

Of course, Zhao Anren above only dared to think about it in his heart, and did not dare to accuse Xiao Xiaoxian in person, so he had to speak again: "Now that the city is trapped, the empress dowager is in a very bad mood. He just got angry. If the King of Chu sees the empress dowager, he must be careful!"

Xiao Xiao nodded after hearing this, and then stepped into the bedroom. Zhao Anren stood outside and hesitated for a moment, but was still worried, so he turned around and entered the bedroom again. However, he did not dare to get too close, but stood far away, intending to listen to what Xiao Xiaoxian planned to do?

"See the Queen Mother!" Xiao Xiaoxian immediately bowed to Xiao Nojin after entering the bedroom.

"Incompetent! Waste! I handed over the 100,000 troops to you, but I can't even take over the little kid Yelu Zongzhen!" Xiao Nojin immediately scolded when he saw Xiao Xiaoxian. She was now in a state of rage. She wanted to curse anyone she saw. Of course, Xiao Xiaoxian should indeed scold. As the main general, he beats less, but he still lost. Isn't this incompetence?

Xiao Xiaoxian also showed an embarrassing look when he heard this, but Xiao Nojin scolded him. The incompetence of his defeat this time also accounted for a large reason. However, in the end he still said with shamelessness: "I am incompetent, but now it is a foregone conclusion. I hope the Empress Dowager will make plans early!"

Xiao Nojin was even more angry when he heard this, and even wanted to cut Xiao Xiaoxian directly. However, she also knew that there was really no one available around her except Xiao Xiaoxian. If it were another person, it might be worse than Xiao Xiaoxian. So no matter how angry she was, she would not dare to really arrest Xiao Xiaoxian and question him.

"I've been blocked by others in the city. What are my plans?" Xiao Nojin finally suppressed his anger and asked again.

"This..." Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then he spoke cautiously, "Empress Dowager, the situation is not good for us now, but after all, your mother, I think it's better to send an envoy out of the city and make peace with the other party!"

As soon as Xiao Xiaoxian said something, not only Xiao Nojin was stunned, but Zhao Anren, who was standing in the corner of the hall, was also stunned. However, he immediately felt absurd, because he really didn't expect that Xiao Xiaoxian would still hope to negotiate peace at this time? Even if Yelu Zongzhen agreed, I'm afraid the nobles under Yelu Zongzhen would not agree.

"Nonsense! How could he accept peace talks at this time?" Xiao Nojin was not completely confused after all, and immediately scolded him in anger. She didn't believe that Yelu Zongzhen would agree to peace talks at this time.

"Empress do not want to rest as angry. Your Majesty is your son no matter what you say. You will never do anything to you. If you write a letter in person, say a few good words, and show some sincerity, I believe Your Majesty will definitely be soft-hearted. At that time, you will still be the queen mother of the Great Liao!" Xiao Xiaoxian asked again at this time.

Zhao Anren, who came later, finally understood that Xiao Xiaoxian’s so-called peace talks were actually surrender, but he was not planning for Xiao Nojin, but planning for himself. After all, Xiao Nojin is Yelu Zongzhen’s mother, and no one can change this, so even if Yelu Zongzhen breaks the city, he will not do anything to her.

But Xiao Xiaoxian is different. If he is caught, he will definitely be dead. But if Xiao Xiaoxian can convince Xiao Nojin to surrender, then he will be considered a meritorious service. Not to mention anything else, at least this life should be saved.

"Bastard! Do you think I would rather be a queen mother like a clay Buddha?" Xiao Nojin accused him loudly at this time. She had long been used to the feeling of being in power. If she surrendered, even if she was still the queen mother, she would probably not have any power anymore. This was even more uncomfortable for her than death.

Faced with Xiao Nojin's reprimand, Xiao Xiaoxian's face looked a little ugly, and then he advised him a few more words. However, it may be that Xiao Nojin's desire for power is too strong, or that she is too strong in self-esteem, and would rather die than bow to her son, so she disagreed at all in the end, which made Xiao Xiaoxian helplessly.
