The gates of the levy were closed and lifeless.

The head of the family, Zhengwu, was captured, his life and death were unknown, and the Zhengjia suddenly fell into a catastrophe. It was originally a crowded city, but now it is a crowd, not only do no guests come to visit, but even most of the friends who used to walk around have disappeared.

When Liu Ling's carriage suddenly appeared outside the gate of the Zhengfu, the servants of the Zhengjia family were a little surprised, looking at the gorgeous carriage and the heroic knights, and suspected that they had gone to the wrong door. These people are not locals at first glance, how can such a distinguished guest appear at the door of Zheng's house?

A slave stepped forward to ask, and Liu Ling said very politely: "I am Liu Ling, a friend of your young gentleman, who came from Wu County and specially visited her. ”

As he spoke, Ray stepped forward, took out a handful of money, and stuffed it into the slave's hand. As soon as he saw the money, the half-dead slave suddenly came to life, was full of energy, and bowed down with a smirk on his face. "Wait, you'll report to your master."

After a short time, there was a rush of footsteps inside, accompanied by a voice full of doubts.

"Liu Ling? I don't know anyone named Liu Ling? ”

As he spoke, Zheng Er appeared at the door. She glanced at it, didn't pay attention to Liu Ling, first saw Liang Xiao's green horse, her eyes suddenly straightened, and she shouted: "Enemy attack!" While shouting, he ran inside, and with a "bang", he slammed into the door frame, and squatted down holding his forehead in pain.

Liang Xiao was speechless. He and Wei Qing glanced at each other, and the psychological shadow left by Xindao's pursuit on Zheng Er was really not small. Liang Xiao hurriedly pulled Wei Qing, Wei Qing was helpless, and raised his voice: "Recruit girl." It's me. Wei Qing. ”

"What?" Zheng Er covered his forehead and turned around. Blood was dripping down her face, and she was holding the silk handkerchief that Fang Weiqing had given him. She took a closer look at Wei Qing, and immediately turned her anger into joy, and ran over happily, pulling Wei Qing's reins and smiling. "Zhongqing, it's really you, why are you here. I don't say a word in advance......"

Looking at the chirping like a bird, not only those Zhengjia who heard the "enemy attack" alarm and rushed out were stunned, but even Liu Ling and Liang Xiao were stunned. They're ...... There's adultery.

Wei Qing was embarrassed, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, wanting to see the wound on Zheng Er's forehead, but he was embarrassed and looked around like a thief. Zheng Er followed his gaze and saw Liang Xiao again, his face suddenly turned cloudy, and he said fiercely: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Here we come. It's for your father's sake. Liu Ling walked over and took Zheng Er's hand with a smile. Gee. I didn't expect Minyue to have such a beauty. Liang Xiao has always said that his little junior sister is beautiful, I still don't believe it, but when I saw it today, what I said was true. ”

He ...... He said I'm pretty? Zheng Er blushed, squirmed, and was a little embarrassed.

"yes, it looks like all these gifts I brought are superfluous. For a beauty like Miss Zheng, where do you need any pink jewelry? Liu Ling said as he motioned for someone to take a brocade box and stuff it into Zheng Er's hand. However, since I brought it, please don't dislike it, and reluctantly accept it. ”

Looking at the delicate brocade box in her arms, Zheng Er was completely down, and while holding the brocade box tightly, she asked Liu Ling to let it in, and forgot that she didn't know Liu Ling at all. It wasn't until he went to the hall that Zheng Er remembered this incident and asked curtly: "I don't know what ...... is here?"

"She's a friend of me and Zhong Qing." Liang Xiao took over the conversation. "Little junior sister, we are here today to talk about your father. Although your father was captured, he was a meritorious man of Minyue, why didn't Minyue react at all and sit back and watch him live and die? ”

"My dad is still alive?" Zheng Er was overjoyed.

"Of course it's alive. But if Minyue hasn't reacted yet, it's hard to say. Liu Ling took over the conversation and told the Zhenger Imperial Court that it intended to mediate the dispute between Minyue and Donou, and as long as Minyue admitted his mistake to the imperial court, he could release Zhengwu and other captured generals, and if he intended to stay in the imperial court, he could also be given another position.

Hearing this, Zheng Er was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited her mother Su Shi and her brother Long March to the side. During the period when Zhengwu was captured, the Zhengwu family fully experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, realized the significance of Zhengwu to this family, and now heard that there was still a chance to rescue Zhengwu, so they naturally couldn't ask for it.

The Su clan immediately sent someone to ask for his brother Su'an.

Su'an is also a nobleman of Minyue, and his status is equivalent to that of Zhengwu. After Zhengwu was captured, he was also very anxious. Suddenly, he heard that an envoy from the imperial court had come and intended to negotiate, and that he might return to Zhengwu, so he immediately rushed here.

He was accompanied by his son Suli, who was Liang Xiao's fourth junior brother. As soon as he saw Liang Xiao, he gave a deep salute, like seeing a relative. "How is the elder brother?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Liang Xiao politely returned the salute.

Su Li introduced to him with some excitement: "Father, this is my senior brother Liang Xiao, his archery skills are extremely exquisite, among our senior brothers, only he can be compared to the master." He once shot an arrow through the tiger's forehead......"

Listening to the Su Li gushing about Liang Xiao's achievements, the Zheng brothers and sisters were very embarrassed. In that battle, Liang Xiao was famous for almost stepping on their shoulders, and more than a dozen Houyi camp archers were shot by Liang Xiao and others, and even their brothers and sisters almost died under Liang Xiao's arrows.

Hearing that Liang Xiao was Huan Yuan's disciple, Su An was also very happy. He told Liang Xiao that Jing Zhao was captured, Liu Ju's strength was greatly damaged, and now there are only more than 300 people left under his command, and many old troops have abandoned him, and now only Huan Yuan is still loyal to him and will not abandon him. If the imperial court is willing to accept Liu Ju, I believe that Liu Ju will definitely ask for it.

After listening to Fu An's words, Liang Xiao heard the dissatisfaction of the Minyue magnates with Liu Ju. Minyue and Dongou were originally one family, and Liu Ju instigated the king of Minyue to attack Dongou for his own personal vendetta, which was not good for Minyue and Don'ou. The Minyue people probably wanted to drive Liu Ju away a long time ago.

Everyone talked happily, and Su'an finally agreed, admonishing the king of Minyue, suggesting that he accept the goodwill of the Han Dynasty and stop the army.

In the two days of waiting for news from Su'an, Liu Ling and Zheng Er became good friends, although the two did not understand the language very well, they could speak enthusiastically with the help of gestures. And Su Li basically didn't leave, accompanied Liang Xiao and others to visit Dongye City, practiced archery with Liang Xiao, and asked Liang Xiao for some archery skills. Maybe it's because they're the same age, maybe it's because Huan Yuan has always been strict, and when he and Liang Xiao are together, they are more relaxed and comprehend much faster.

Two days later, Su'an sent news that the king of Minyue had promised to withdraw his troops.

Liang Xiao immediately took the papers, accompanied by Zheng Er and Su Li, and rushed to Huanyuan's mansion.

As soon as he saw Liang Xiao, Huan Yuan was stunned. "You...... How did it end up here? ”

"I miss the master." Liang Xiao said with a grin.

Huan Yuan snorted, disapproving, but with a little smile on his face. He pointed at Liang Xiao, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "Boy, you have made me miserable." ”

"It's the master who teaches him well." Liang Xiao said seriously. He paused, and then said, "Actually, this is the general trend. No matter how strong Minyue is, it should not be a county of the Han Dynasty. The reason why it can survive alone is just because the court adheres to the way of Huang Lao and is unwilling to do much. Could it be that Minyue is still stronger than Nanyue? ”

Huan Yuan frowned and was silent.

Liang Xiao said again: "This time, the master made a surprise attack, breaking into Zhenze from Songjiang, which is indeed unexpected. However, the strange soldiers can only take temporary benefits, once the court is angry, send Jiangdu, Huainan, Yuzhang soldiers, and go straight to Dongye, what will be done? A building ship can beat you people on their backs, if dozens of building ships are launched at the same time, even if you have a genius, what can you do? ”

Huan Yuan crooked his mouth. "The building ship can't enter the sea. Even if you barely enter the sea, you can only ride the wind and waves when the waves are light. Boy, the sea is not a river, and it is not something you can control. ”

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Master, can I ask you to go out of the city?"

"What? Want to trap me? ”

"The master thinks it's bad. I just want you to see the ship we are on, the same ship you met at the mouth of the Songjiang River, but this ship is stronger than when you encountered it. ”

Huan Yuan's eyebrows tightened, a little puzzled. He looked at Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao's face did not have a trace of smile, and he was as serious as a sacrifice. Huan Yuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was the god master in front of Liang Xiao.

"Master, you said I wanted to trap me, but you really underestimated me." Liang Xiao slowed down his expression and said slowly, "I hope to defeat you in the grand battle." You should know that although you know the art of war, you are far from the overlord. And today's big man is a hundred times stronger than the rabble of the day, one goes down and the other rises, even if the overlord is reincarnated, he may not be able to win, let alone you? ”

Liang Xiao took a breath and said again: "Do you want Suli's father to be the same as Zhengfang's father?" ”

"Master—" Zheng bowed to the ground and wept silently. "Please save my father."

The corners of Huan Yuan's eyes twitched twice, and his eyes tightened.

"Master, I told you before that the reason why the imperial court did not send a large army to levy it was because the Empress Dowager was still alive, and His Majesty was not autonomous. However, the Empress Dowager has been suffering from a deep illness for many years, and her time is short. If you can't seize this opportunity, once the Empress Dowager dies, Liu Ju will want to be a marquis again, but it will be delusional. I can't promise that I'll come next time, but I promise that the army of the imperial court will come. ”

"Where are you going?" Huan Yuan's momentum was exhausted, and he still refused to give up resistance, so he could only cover it up in a mocking tone.

"The Xiongnu are the big trouble, and when I go back this time, I will probably go to the northern Xinjiang." Liang Xiao said word by word: "As long as Minyue does not take the initiative to make trouble, the imperial court will not use troops against Minyue before the Xiongnu are severely damaged." But if Min Yue doesn't know what to do and goes against the sky, then the court can only take the time to come, plough the court and sweep the holes, and make a decision. ”

"Did anyone instruct you before you came?" Huan Yuan suddenly said: "You can't come up with these truths yourself, right?" ”

Liang Xiao was embarrassed, and there was an embarrassment of being seen through his underwear. "That...... It was Bishop Huainan Weng who gave me. ”——
