Mo and his father and son knelt in front of King Youxian, begging bitterly, and couldn't kneel for a long time.

The Right Sage King was annoyed and angry, like an enraged lion, panting and pacing back and forth in the big tent.

"Confused!" The Right Virtuous King pointed at Mo He and scolded sharply. "You're so confused. Liang Xiao ransacked Jiaohe City and robbed your family, and you still make a deal with him? Still put down the army and ran back to ask me to change people? ”

"King, that's my Yan clan and my sister." Mo and Lian kowtowed, crying silently.

As the King of Coaches, it was the first time he had such a gaffe, even in front of the Right Xian King. He also knew that this request was a bit excessive, Dongfang Shuo was Tu Qi (wise man) favored by King Youxian, and King Youxian had put so much effort into trying to subdue him. The Huns were very powerful, but there were few wise men, and a bank of China said that it helped the two generations of Shan Yu to solve many problems. Dongfang Shuo is more wise than the Bank of China, how can the Right Sage King give up easily.

However, he had no other way to think about it, he couldn't watch his Yan family and sister being killed by Liang Xiao, and he couldn't watch his only son become a monk and practice and cut off his bloodline.

Mo pleaded again and again, but King Youxian just didn't allow it. He really wanted to order someone to drive Mo and his father and son out, but he felt that it was inappropriate and hesitated. In desperation, he asked Mo and his father and son to go out to rest first, let him think about it, and then sent someone to invite Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo listened to the distress of the Right Virtuous King, and was a little careless. "Will you listen to my advice, my lord?"

"Of course I do." Youxian Wang was overjoyed, this was the first time that Dongfang Shuo was willing to give him ideas. However, he was wary again. "Sir, this king is sincere to him. There is no hypocrisy......"

Dongfang Shuo smiled. "It is precisely because of the sincerity of the king. Shuo Cai wanted to persuade the king. As far as the matter at hand is concerned. Whether the king wants to exchange or not, you have already lost. ”

King Youxian's face twitched.

Although he is not as knowledgeable as Dongfang Shuo, he is not a stupid person either. A fool can't be the right virtuous king. Liang Xiao tricked Mo and his father and son back, which had already pushed him into an embarrassing place. If he agrees to the exchange, he will lose Dongfang Shuo. If you don't agree to the exchange, you will lose the country of Cheshi. If the Cheshi Wang's Yan clan and Wang Mei died in the hands of Liang Xiao, even if the Cheshi King could bear it, his son Che Yi would not be able to bear it. Sooner or later, the Cheshi Kingdom will have to separate from the Huns.

As Dongfang Shuo said, whether he agreed to the exchange or not, he lost.

"Liang Xiao's purpose is not to exchange hostages at all, but to delay time." The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth were raised, and there was a little relief and a little contempt in his smile. "Shan zero is blocked in the mountains first, which is the situation that Liang Xiao wants. It doesn't really matter whether you change people or not. ”

The eyes of the Right Virtuous King were awe-inspiring, and a cold light burst out in an instant, and then there was another burst of amazement. He was stunned by the crying and quarreling between Mo and his father and son. I didn't expect this layer. Now that I think about it, this is indeed Liang Xiao's real purpose. It doesn't matter if it's changed back to Dongfang Shuo.

"This ......"

"King, you must admit that you are not as good as Liang Xiao." Dongfang Shuo laughed silently. "You can't get my allegiance, but I can be your friend. From the standpoint of a friend, I advise you not to go against Liang Xiao. ”

King Youxian's face sank. "Mr. Dongfang, this is not what you should say as a friend. Although Liang Xiao is a young hero and full of ingenuity, he is lonely after all, as long as I give me a little time, I will definitely be able to defeat him. ”

"You can defeat Liang Xiao, but you can't defeat Dahan." Dongfang Shuo's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were serious. "You caught Zhang Qian, Liang Xiao is here. If you defeat Liang Xiao, won't my Han court send anyone else? Beginning with Emperor Gao Liu Bang, the contradictions between the Han and the Xiongnu have accumulated for more than sixty years. Today's Han is not at all something that the Huns can deal with. King, are you going to be the first to be killed by the sword of revenge? ”

King Youxian was stunned and silent. He was stunned for a moment, took two steps back, and sat on the throne covered with tiger skins, with one hand on his forehead, his brow furrowed.

Dongfang Shuo's words reminded him. Liang Xiao is not a gang of rogues, grab a handful and leave, he came to the Western Regions, which was the beginning of the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. If he was only limited to driving away Liang Xiao, his vision would be too narrow.

"King, eighty years ago, Qin coerced Yu Wei to unify the world, sent 300,000 troops, and seized Henan in one fell swoop. Now, the Han Dynasty has been recuperating for 60 years, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the strength is not comparable to that of Emperor Gao, do you think the Huns are still opponents? ”

King Youxian chuckled in his heart, and forced a calm smile: "Mr. Dongfang, don't forget, the Huns are the masters of the grassland, no matter how rich and powerful you Han are, you must also give the princess and contribute gold and silk money and grain every year in exchange for the kindness of my Huns." ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly. "Before Meng Tian sent troops to Henan, Tou Manshan Yu also said the same."

King Youxian's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and a dark cloud floated through his heart, heavy.

"King, Liang Xiao is defeated, you can return to the Han Dynasty, and you will not lose the rank of official. If the king is defeated, the right Xiongnu will probably have to be replaced. Listen to my advice, my lord, stop fighting and withdraw to the grassland. It's not too late to make amends. When the grain and grass run out and the troops are lost, you just want to go back, but I'm afraid you won't be able to go back. The lesson of the evil king, the king remembers. ”

Youxian Wang gasped, his heart pounded, and his scalp tightened. Dongfang Shuo mentioned the Evil King Department, which really touched his sore spot. The evil king pursued Liang Xiao and died, and the evil king's department fought among themselves because of the struggle for power, and it inevitably declined. If he continues to stalemate with Liang Xiao, even if he defeats Liang Xiao, he will not gain anything, but if he loses, there are countless people who covet his position as the right virtuous king.

Dongfang Shuo is right, Liang Xiao loses, and he can come again. If he loses, he will never recover.

"So...... Sir, have you decided? ”

Dongfang Shuo bowed. "I will not be loyal to the king, but I hope to be a friend of the king."

King Youxian sighed: "Not being able to get the teachings of Mr. is my greatest loss. Okay, you go back to Liang Xiao. ”

Dongfang Shuo goodbye. "Thank you, King. Take care, King. ”

――

Dongfang Shuo followed Mo and his father and son back to Qijiao Mountain.

Mo and his father and son didn't know how Dongfang Shuo persuaded King Youxian. In short, King Youxian agreed, and their wish came true, which is the most important thing, so they worshiped Dongfang Shuo to the ground. Originally, they were hostile parties, but they were detained by the Huns, enjoyed VIP treatment, and finally left with a swagger, Dongfang Shuo is absolutely wonderful.

Dongfang Shuo is nothing, chatting with Mo and his father and son along the way. Mo Yu had long known that Dongfang Shuo could Kan, but Che Yi was the first time he got along with Dongfang Shuo, and he was stunned by Dongfang Shuo all of a sudden. Out of the pride of young people, Che Yi took out the Buddhist theories that he had studied for more than ten years and discussed the Tao with Dongfang Shuo.

At this time, Buddhism was still a very advanced study, not just a profession. If you roughly put it up, it is similar to the "Tao Jing" in the "Tao Te Ching", which is a conjecture about the universe. Dongfang Shuo is knowledgeable, and he also has a lot of research on Taoism, and he also finds it very interesting when he hears Buddhism. The two hit it off at first sight and became good friends.

After seeing the first Shanling, the Huns who were traveling with Dongfang Shuo conveyed the order of the Right Xian King, gave up the pursuit, and stood by in place. Although it was strange to Shan Ling first, he didn't say anything, and watched Dongfang Shuo walk away.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo, Liang Xiao grinned happily.

"Looks like he's fat again." Liang Xiao patted Dongfang Shuo's round belly. "It's on par with Moya."

"There's no way, it's hard to get fat without being fat with good wine and meat every day." Dongfang Shuo patted his stomach proudly and laughed. He walked around Liang Xiao and looked Liang Xiao up and down. "How are you? I heard that you were lying in the ice and swallowing snow, and you didn't drop anything, right? If he is crippled, his future will be ruined. A person with a crippled limb is not allowed to be in the court. ”

Liang Xiao was stunned. "And this rule?"

"What do you think?" Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips disdainfully. "Above the court, solemn and solemn, do you want to talk like a cripple? Unless you're willing to do haiyu. ”

Liang Xiao opened Dongfang Shuo's hand, glanced at him, and forced a smile. "I remember someone who seemed to be in the company of Haiyu."

"Well, don't mention it." Dongfang Shuo became depressed. "Okay, I'm back, you can let them go. Let the people go, let's hurry to the Pu Sea, don't be preempted by the Right Xian King. ”

Liang Xiao was very surprised, but he didn't ask much, and immediately asked people to bring the queen of the chariot master and Mo Ya, and also gave two horses. Although Mo Ya was pregnant and a little clumsy, she did not hesitate to get on the horse at all. She looked at Liang Xiao. "My lord, there will be a date later."

"There's going to be a chance." Liang Xiao smiled. "The next time I have a chance, I'm going to drink with your husband."

Moya nodded, kicked the horse forward, and walked away. Dongfang Shuo is inexplicable. "How do you ...... Like pregnant women? ”

"Get out!" Liang Xiao took a sip angrily. "Her husband's name is Wu Guinian, and he is a Han Chinese. I suspect it's a fake name, though. ”

"Really?" Dongfang Shuo's curiosity was aroused, and he pulled Liang Xiao to ask east and west. Liang Xiao ordered people to pack up and leave the corners of the seven mountains, and he personally returned to the palace to prevent the Huns from rebelling. Fortunately, the Huns had no intention of pursuing at all, and the road was very peaceful.

Liang Xiao and Dongfang Shuo exchanged the situation after separation, and when they heard the part of Dongfang Shuo in Chigu City, Liang Xiao suddenly interrupted Dongfang Shuo. "I said, you're not going to take down that Hun woman from Arekhan, are you?"

"What's wrong with the Hun woman?"

"You've got a lot of taste." Liang Xiao shook his head with disdain.

"Are you embarrassed?" Dongfang Shuo became excited. "If you hadn't been impatient, would I have to sacrifice so much? I'm a good boy in the East, and I actually have to sacrifice my hue. Am I easy? I said, can you be more steady? When you were in Chang'an, you still had a bit of a city, why did you feel like you were in a hurry to be reincarnated when you arrived in the Western Regions? ”

"Reincarnation?" Tuniuer pulled the window and poked his head in. "What does that mean by freshness?"

Dongfang Shuo reached out and pressed Tu Niu'er's face, pushed him out, and closed the window. "This is the knowledge of Tianzhu people, you don't understand, don't interject."

"I'll go!" Tuniu'er was annoyed and angry. "You cheat eating and drinking, dare to look down on Lao Tzu? There is a kind of you down, Lao Tzu and you go head-on. ”――
