Chapter 289: Night Visit
Wei Suti is over the age of six, and his hair is white, but he is in good spirits. Especially a pair of big eyes, the cold light shimmers between the closures, like sharp blades.
Prior to this, Ayana told Liang Xiao that Wei Sudan was one of the rare generals of the Yue Clan and had been fighting against Great Xia in the south. The Great Xia cavalry, which once dominated Central Asia, was defeated by him and retreated. In terms of political experience, Ashana is slightly superior, and in terms of experience in fighting the enemy, Vesuti is even more outstanding.
Liang Xiao has been with Ah Suti for more than half a year, and knows that Ah Xiana is a person who is gentle on the outside and proud on the inside, and he admires Wei Suti so much, naturally because Wei Suti is strong enough. From another point of view, the queen's arrangement of Vesuti to "reinforce" Aleusu is enough to prove Vesuti's strength.
Therefore, from the beginning of the meeting, Liang Xiao had great respect for Wei Suti, and never dared to pose as an envoy of a great country. At this point, Xie Guanglong expressed his dissatisfaction and felt that Liang Xiao was too polite to these Hu people. Liang Xiao disagreed, he felt that the real pride was in his heart, not on his neck.
Seeing that Ah Xiana valued Liang Xiao so much, Wei Suti was very curious. After sending Ajuna away, he said with a smile: "I have been friends with Ajuna for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen him be so polite to a young man. β
Liang Xiao smiled. "That's Dalu's heart."
"Not really." Vesuti stroked his gray beard and laughed. "Who is he, I don't know? On the surface, Corporal Lixian didn't know how high the tail hidden under his robe was. β
Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. "The Marquis laughed."
"Let's go, along the way, we have time to get to know each other." Vesuti flipped on his horse. The action is clean. No less than young people. He glanced at the dark horse under Liang Xiao's crotch. The gray eyebrows are raised. "Good horse, this is the best Dawan horse, right?"
"The eyesight of the Marquis is really extraordinary, this is a BMW given by King Dawan."
"Horses are good horses. However, when it comes to the green ridge, it is not as good as a yak. Wei Suti looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and there was a little more awe in his eyes. When we crossed the Green Ridge with the queen, how many people froze to death and how many horses fell to death. We're old. I can't afford that kind of hard work anymore. Although my hometown is good, I can only think about it in my dreams. β
Liang Xiao's heart moved. He heard something different. It can be heard that Vesuti's impression of Alyusu is somewhat different from that of Ajuna. He remembered Ajuna's reminder, and his heart was a little more vigilant.
"Marquis, please."
"You are the messenger of the Han Dynasty, so you should go first."
"The marquis is the elder, and the elder comes first."
Vesuti nodded, kicked his mount, and walked forward. Liang Xiao followed closely, only half a horse's head behind. Neither of them spoke. Each thinks about his mind.
Surrounded by more than ten followers, Zhen'an stood quietly in the distance. Eyes twinkle.

Dongfang Shuo sat under the porch with his arms open, the pu fan in his hand was full of wind, but the beads of sweat on his face were still dense, endless, glowing with warm light under the bright moonlight.
Liu Qingyun stood aside and looked at him a little timidly. She is Dongfang Shuo's new favorite, ingenious and has always been more pampered. However, Dongfang Shuo was in a bad mood in the past two days, and she didn't dare to disturb him easily, so as not to touch the mold.
Dongfang Shuo stood up, walked back twice in a row, and saw Liu Qingyun's restrained expression, only then did he realize that he had snubbed her a little recently. He snapped his lips and waved his hand. "Don't stand still, go rest by yourself, I'll have to have a while."
Liu Qingyun answered, turned around and was about to enter the room, when a voice sounded outside. "Dongfang Manqian, Dongfang Manqian?"
Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes and scolded. "Deng Guobin, don't bully people too much, come in the middle of the night, as for it? It's a big deal, I'll just give you back this treasure. β
"You don't have to return the treasure, help me calculate a hexagram."
Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, threw the pu fan, took three steps and made two steps, rushed to the door, and said to Liu Qingyun while tying his clothes: "Go and prepare tea, there are distinguished guests coming to the door." Organize the room again so that you can put your gifts later. β
Liu Qingyun listened, didn't dare to slack off, and trotted all the way. Dongfang Shuo rushed to the front yard and opened the gate. Deng Guobin stood outside the door and looked at him with disdain. Dongfang Shuo stretched out his hand to push him away, rushed to the door, and grinned when he saw Liu Ling standing by the wall.
"Sure enough."
"You know it's me?" Liu Ling lifted the light veil covering his face and smiled slightly: "Calculated?" β
"It doesn't count. came to me in the middle of the night to tell the fortune, it would definitely not be Deng Guobin himself. Who else can direct him to turn around, except for you, the master? β
"In that case, then we won't be polite." Liu Ling walked towards the courtyard. Dongfang Shuo hurriedly followed, Lei was held by the sword, and a servant carried a box and walked into the atrium together. Liu Qingyun had already lit the lamp, illuminated the hall, and smoked Ai again, driving away the buzzing mosquitoes.
Liu Ling stood still in the hall and glanced at the box carried by the servant. "Before you take your seat, tell me what kind of hexagram I want to count. If you calculate it right, these things will be yours, and if you calculate it wrong, I won't bother you. β
Dongfang Shuo laughed, took a step forward, took the box from the servant's hand, checked it, and stuffed it to Liu Qingyun. "Be careful, this is your dowry, don't fall to the ground, this box is worth a lot of money."
Liu Qingyun hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and the box sank down, almost falling to the ground. Thanks to Dongfang Shuo's preparation, he held it with one hand and motioned for Liu Qingyun to take the box in. Liu Ling looked at them quietly, didn't speak, and waited for Dongfang Shuo to turn back before pursing his lips and smiling. "It seems that I don't need to ask anymore, you can just give me the answer."
Dongfang Shuo clapped his hands. "Since everyone is smart, there is no need to go around in circles. I know who Liang Xiao is, and you know it too. The evil king chased him for thousands of miles, but he couldn't help him, but he cut off his head, what can the Huns do with him? Lord, you can rest assured, the worst result is nothing but nothing, and your life is not hindered. β
Liu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and sat down, and took a sip of the water on the case. Dongfang Shuo also took a seat, glanced at Liu Ling, and said, "What I just said." Just by common sense. But no one can guarantee that he is still normal. β
"You're not normal." Liu Ling glared at Dongfang Shuo angrily.
Dongfang Shuo was not annoyed. Giggle. "If only he were normal. I won't run to Dawan at this time. β
Liu Ling was stunned, and his eyes that had just relaxed tightened again. She pondered for a moment, "What exactly do you want to say?" β
"His thoughts are right, sooner or later, Your Majesty will send troops on a large scale to conquer the Huns. In the case of the main force of the imperial court, if you can form an alliance with Dawan and the Yue clan and break the right arm of the Xiongnu, it will naturally be a great achievement. But he left too hastily, and the timing was wrong. Now he has set off a big storm in Dawan. His Majesty was suppressed by the Empress Dowager and could not move, unable to respond. With only Dawan and Yueshi, can they deal with the Huns? β
Liu Ling took a breath, his face pale.
"Lord Weng, don't worry. As I said earlier, life is fine. As long as he doesn't make a fool, finding a chance to slip away is not a problem at all. β
"No, he wouldn't give up so casually. He traveled thousands of miles, just to make meritorious contributions, just to ......" Liu Ling knew that he was speechless. Hurriedly retracted it, and glanced at Dongfang Shuo embarrassedly. Dongfang Shuo calmly picked up the cup and drank water. I don't know if I understand it or not. Liu Ling coughed, and then said: "I'm worried that he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he refuses to give up, and he has to win in danger......
Dongfang Shuo swallowed the water in his mouth and said casually: "Then he deserves to die." β
"You're the one who deserves to die." Liu Ling was really annoyed. "Speaking of which, you are also his protΓ©gΓ©, how can you be ruthless? Don't you feel ashamed? β
"Ashamed?" Dongfang Shuo's eyes widened, and he held the desk with both hands, like a fierce beast that was about to pounce. "Do you know how aggrieved I am? I saw that he was a little intelligent, and I thought he was a friend worth making, so I surrendered my identity. Who would have thought that he would be such a reckless person, thousands of miles away, just leave, and he didn't even have a plan. If he really dies, he deserves it, but what should I do? β
Liu Ling choked, looked at Dongfang Shuo for a long time, and then muttered: "I have long heard the Son of Heaven say that you are shameless, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless." You have become his protΓ©gΓ©, and instead of giving him advice, you accuse him of being reckless. Dongfang Shuo, this is your integrity? β
"What is wrong with a scholar who travels in all the gates with his wisdom, stops if he wins people, and goes if he does not have people?" Dongfang Shuo Zhenzhen resigned. "It's because he doesn't consult with me and kills himself, what does it have to do with me? Now that it's been thousands of miles, even if I want to help him, I don't have to entangle. β
"I didn't ...... Entangled? Liu Ling was about to refute Dongfang Shuo, when he suddenly felt that his voice was wrong, and hurriedly stopped talking. If there is a entanglement, can you save him? β
"It's okay to have a coil." Dongfang Shuo nodded solemnly. "With my Dongfang Shuo talent, as long as I can arrive in time, even if I can't turn the tide, at least I can help him. He's that person, there are strange tricks, but this strategy is far behind, and a talent like me has to help him. β
Liu Ling turned his anger into laughter, and he didn't care about Dongfang Shuo's narcissism. "How many coils do you want?"
"It's so far, if it's less, it's indispensable, and it's worth a thousand gold." Dongfang Shuo squinted at Liu Ling, looked at her face, and was waiting for Liu Ling to bargain, but he didn't expect Liu Ling to agree. "Okay, a thousand gold is a thousand gold, when will you leave?"
Dongfang Shuo was stunned. "Lord Weng, don't you pay back?"
"What's the price?" Liu Ling chuckled: "As long as you can help Liang Xiao make meritorious service and return safely, I will thank you another thousand gold, how about it?" β
"Alas! The offer is too low. Dongfang Shuo slapped his forehead and regretted it. I forgot that with the two skills of double-sided brocade and glaze, the owner is now rich in the world. I should have asked for more. β
"Okay, don't pretend." Liu Ling smiled: "Even if I give you a daughter, can you bring it?" Hugh said a lot. Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to bring my daughter. If you really want it, I'll give you an extra thousand. But ......" Liu Ling's face suddenly turned cold. "If you can't help Liang Xiao succeed, this thousand gold is the life of your family. I know that your parents died early and were raised by your brother and sister-in-law, so I ......"
"Enough. Lord Weng, don't worry, I don't want anything to happen to Liang Xiao than you. If Liang Xiao really has something, you can still find a wishful man, where can I find such a generous lord? Come and see ......" Dongfang Shuo got up and walked to the inner room, bringing out a big baggage. "I packed all my bags. I'm just waiting for you to send the coil. βββ
