"Look at your little bit of talent." Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo with disdain. "Tell me, I'm in danger. To make sense, there are all beautiful people and good wines. I can't make sense, let alone a beauty, you can't even smell the incense. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Then I ask you, what do you think of the Greek electoral system?"

"Electoral system?" Liang Xiao blinked. "I think it's good."

"How's it good?" Dongfang Shuo sneered: "Then do you want to say that the son of heaven of my Han Dynasty should not be succeeded by father and son, but should be recommended by each other, not only the Liu clan has a share, but even the princes with different surnames have a chance?" ”

"Uh-" No matter how stupid Liang Xiao was, he also understood what Dongfang Shuo meant.

The Chinese are most fond of the extension of the association, and his attitude towards the electoral system is indeed easy to think of this issue. And he also knew that since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, several generations of emperors have been implementing the method of strengthening the weak branches and strengthening the centralization of power, first eradicating kings with different surnames, and now eradicating kings with the same surname, all for the same purpose.

The imperial power is unified, I am the world, caused by Qin Shi Huang, and became Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The contradiction between the Huainan king and the imperial court was not so much a conflict between Huang Lao and Confucianism as a conflict between decentralization and dictatorship. At this time, he advocates the electoral system, what will make others think? When it comes to the correspondence between him and Liu Ling, he is a fool, and he will think that he is opening his eyes for the king of Huainan.

"Don't tell me, you didn't think of that." Dongfang Shuo stared at Liang Xiao's eyes and lowered his voice. "Tell me, what the hell do you think?"

Liang Xiao's eyes flickered. He looked at Dongfang Shuo, and stopped talking.

Speak from the heart. Although it is not as serious as Dongfang Shuo thought. But he did have that in mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to fool Dongfang Shuo to the Western Regions. But specifically. He really didn't want to act so quickly. He felt that he didn't have enough strength yet, so he just made some preparations first. Unexpectedly, just a little wind caused a big wave, and it directly blew Dongfang Shuo to the Western Regions.

"The Son of Heaven is not happy?"

"What do you say?" Dongfang Shuo asked rhetorically.

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes, turned to look at the knights on both sides of the carriage, and suddenly laughed. "Since you know that the Son of Heaven is unhappy, why don't you come here thousands of miles away? What's the matter with these knights, they won't come to arrest me and go back to Chang'an for trial, right? ”

"If that's the case, then it's easier." Dongfang Shuo sighed lightly: "Liang Xiao." You still don't understand what kind of person the Son of Heaven is? The longer he endured, the more severe his revenge would become. Emperor Wen has Zhou Bo in the Wen Dynasty, and Zhou Yafu in the Jing Emperor Dynasty, do you want to follow in their father and son's footsteps? Liang Xiao, it's okay if you want to be a bone minister, but you can't drag me down. ”

Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo contemptuously. "Look at your worthless appearance, you won't escape, will you?"

"Pretty much." Dongfang Shuo said calmly: "I can't die without help, so I have to take a trip." If you don't listen to my advice, you must kill yourself, then I can do it. I had to break off my friendship with you, and I had nothing to do with each other in the future. ”

"Really?" Liang Xiao looked Dongfang Shuo up and down. "Then you're going to turn back right now. Or come with me to Dawan first? ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at the four Alpha people gathered outside the window, grinned, and the seriousness and solemnity just now were swept away, revealing the face that Liang Xiao was most familiar with. "Since you're here, of course you have to go to Dawan first."

"That's pretty much it." Liang Xiao patted Dongfang Shuo's shoulder vigorously and squeezed his eyes. "Did you understand the book I asked someone to bring you?"

"Is there any book I can't read? You give me half a year, let me learn the writing of Naxiyi first. Dongfang Shuo looked arrogant. Come, I'll test you too. As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from the carriage, and took out a claireye and a silk book from it. Here's a question related to this clairvoyant, see if you can write the formula. ”

Liang Xiao glanced at the crumpled silk book, then looked at Dongfang Shuo, and suddenly smiled. If he can't solve such a simple optical refraction, then he will be too sorry for the junior high school physics teacher. However, for people in this era, this question is too profound. Without trigonometric functions, it is impossible to get accurate results. As far as he knew, the number of triangular strings had not yet been invented.

Dongfang Shuo was a little weak-hearted, and said calmly: "What are you laughing at, are you afraid that you won't be able to solve it and be embarrassed?" ”

Liang Xiao shrugged, took the clairvoyance, looked at it, picked it up, and aimed at the battlefield that had entered the end in the distance. A slightly greenish, slightly distorted image appeared in front of me, barely making out the figure. Still, it came as a big surprise to him. Needless to say, this should be Liu Ling's masterpiece. Being able to make clairvoyance in such a short period of time, the guests of Huainan Wangfu are really smart.

Liang Xiao sighed lightly, looking lonely. "I'm afraid that no one will understand it if I solve it, the spring and the snow, the song is high and low."

Dongfang Shuo's face twitched, revealing unwillingness. "Could it be that these are mentioned in the book of the sages of Xiyi?"

Liang Xiao laughed twice, noncommittal. "Why don't you go and see for yourself? Brother Man Qian, you came from Qi and saw the real sea, why did you come to Chang'an and be a frog at the bottom of a well with peace of mind? Now that you're here, let's take a good look. It's not just about the beauty and wine, but also about the wisdom you've never seen before. ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled, and stopped talking.

――

Liang Xiao got out of the carriage and met Li Danghu and others. Of the fifty officials, half were his colleagues in the Weiyang Lang Bureau, and most of the other half had also met. The remaining more than 100 knights are Li Guang's personal guards, most of them are from Longyou, and all of them are young knights who are fierce and brave.

What surprised Liang Xiao the most was Tu Hu. Tu Hu was Zheng's confidant at that time, and he came to the Western Regions only because of Zheng's orders at that time. This made Liang Xiao grateful to Zheng at that time. When he left Guangling, he owed Zheng a favor at that time, and later settled in Maoling, and Zheng helped at that time, and now when he arrived in the Western Regions, Zheng sent the most reliable people around him to help, and this kindness was heavier than Mount Tai.

Dongfang Shuo and Tu Hu have a personal relationship, but Li Danghu is both public and private. He first announced the Edict of the Son of Heaven. Because Liang Xiao made a meritorious mission to the Western Regions, the good horses contributed by the Yueshi prince Batu and Dawan arrived in Chang'an, and the Han Shengwei arrived west of the Green Ridge for the first time, and the Son of Heaven worshiped Liang Xiao as the cavalry captain, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, and the official mission was the envoy of the Western Regions.

Li Danghu handed over the silver official seal and cyan ribbon to Liang Xiao, and when he handed it over, he came to Liang Xiao's side and said with a smile: "Ah Xiao, you are now on the rise." Except for the children of noble relatives, you are the first to be in the position of 2,000 stones at such a young age. ”

Liang Xiao took the seal ribbon and was a little excited. Although there is still a distance from worshipping the general and sealing the marquis, it is indeed not easy to become more than 2,000 stones at his age. Normally, being a man is only the first step into his career, and there are many people who can't take the second step in their lifetime. Li Danghu's weak crown is to take his father's shadow as his husband, and for four or five years, he still can't see any hope of promotion.

Of course, he didn't fall from the sky as a riding captain, if it weren't for his great achievements at risk, just by virtue of his qualifications, I don't know which monkey year and horse month he would have to wait for.

"The Western Regions are vast and there are many opportunities. With your abilities, it is easy to add officials to knighthood. Liang Xiao tucked the ribbon around his waist and greeted the officials with a smile on his face. The officials returned the salute one by one and talked enthusiastically.

Li Shuyun is the most active, he is now a cavalry general of Bi Qianshi, along the way, he is like the leader of the Lang official like Li Danghu, and it is almost needless to say that he has returned to Liang Xiao's side and has been reused.

A group of young people get together to talk about the future. The Yueshi and Qiang people also slaughtered the Huns, and Ma Qi and others gathered over, and they were also overjoyed to see so many heroic Han young men. In his opinion, Liang Xiao alone can play such a big role, and with two hundred people, what kind of enemy is invincible?

Ma Qi set up a banquet for Li Danghu and others to catch the wind, and sat on the ground beside the weak water, drinking and talking.

After three rounds of drinking, Liang Xiao discussed with March. The war in Hexi came to an end, and the Huns would soon return, so they still collected it when they saw it and transported the spoils back to Nanshan's old nest. If possible, March could send men to occupy the oases in the area of weak water and confront the Huns. But given the disparity in strength between the two sides, it's best not to expect too much.

March agreed. After fighting for more than half a month, he gained a lot. The fruits of the Huns' hard work for a year have become his trophies, and coupled with the captive population, his strength has increased greatly, and it will take some time to digest.

"When will you come back?" Ma Qi said: "This Hexi was originally the homeland of my Yueshi people, but now it is occupied by the Huns, I am unwilling." ”

"Lieutenant Du rest assured, the days of retaking Hexi will not be too long. Before we can do that, though, there's one more important thing to do. The prince of the Yue clan, Aliusu, fought against the Wusun people, pinned down the main force of the Wusun, and created an opportunity for the commander. The Lieutenant should now rush to his aid, lest he suffer heavy losses. ”

Ma Qi hesitated for a long time, and refused to give Liang Xiao an accurate answer. He was not impressed by Aleusu, who was the most powerful tribal leader here after the Yue Clan's court moved west. If the crown prince of Aliusu comes back, won't he want to give up his current interests?

Liang Xiao couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The Yue Clan's royal court is too far away, and it has no appeal to these Xiaoyue clan people. If Alyusu wants to bring all the Yue people together again, there is no better way than force. He would have had a chance, if he hadn't gone to attack Akaya Castle and had come to Hexi with him. Now, it's impossible to say if he's still alive. Even if he is alive, whether he can return to Hexi depends on whether Ma Qi and others agree.

Liang Xiao had no choice but to propose to Ma Qi that the spoils he should have been converted into war horses and provisions, and that he and the Pu people go back to save Aleusu.

This time March was very refreshing, and said yes -
