Liang Xiao originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk about this matter with Wu Cai, but Wu Cai took the initiative to talk about it, which was in his arms.

"Vice King, what do you think of the Wusun people, is it possible for them to invade Dawan?"

Yu Cai frowned and turned his face to look out the window for a while. In the distance, the procession of the Wusun envoy was clearly visible, and Tuban was squatting on the car like a bear, with a thick back, revealing indescribable arrogance. Thinking of Tuban's arrogance in the palace, Yu Cai shivered and withdrew his gaze.

"I'm afraid...... It's a matter of time. ”

"How late is it, how early is it?"

Mo Cai smacked his lips in embarrassment, not quite wanting to answer Liang Xiao's question. Liang Xiao sighed, reached out and pressed it on Yu Cai's hand, and patted it gently.

"Vice-King, I know that this question may embarrass you. However, we Han people have a saying, take precautions, and some things can be avoided without hiding. If the Yueshi people are a wolf with a broken leg, then the Wusun people with the support of the Huns are leopards, are you willing to face the wolf or are you willing to face the leopard? ”

Mo Cai smiled bitterly: "So, your envoy still wants to go to the Yue Clan?" ”

"My mission is to find allies who can deal with the Huns. The Dawan people don't even dare to face the Wusun people, how can I expect you to fight the Huns? I can only pin my hopes on the Yueshi people. However, please rest assured, I will never help the Yue's people to attack Dawan. I will do my best to make peace between Yueshi and Dawan. ”

"With the strength of the Han Dynasty, you can't conquer the Huns?"

"Dahan is indeed strong, but Dahan also has shortcomings." Liang Xiao paused for a moment. "The big man lacks horses."

Yu Cai blurted out. "We have horses."

"But it is difficult for Dawan's horse to be delivered to Dahan. For now, Dawan's horses will only become a tribute to the Wusun and Xiongnu, which in turn will trample on Dawan's land. ”

Yu Cai sighed. Bite one's tongue.

Liang Xiao didn't say anything more. The Dawan people are too weak. To cheer them up all at once. It is indeed a bit difficult, so I can only beat the side drum slowly to remind them of the danger and see if they can wake up.

"When are you going to go?"

"It's not tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow." Liang Xiao was a little anxious. "I've been delayed too much time and I have to speed things up."

"Wait two more days. The king may have to consult with you again. When all the talks are over, I will ask the king to arrange for someone to send you there. ”

Liang Xiao glanced at Cai Cai. felt that there was something in his words, and it seemed that there was something else hidden. Yu Cai turned his face in embarrassment, pretending not to see Liang Xiao's inquiring gaze.

Liang Xiao didn't want to ask again. When the post house arrived, he got out of the car, and Mo Cai turned the head of the car and went straight away. Liang Xiao returned to the post house, looked at the Wusun people who had just gotten off in the distance, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Tu Niu'er.

Tuniu'er blinked. "Or I'll touch it in the middle of the night and slaughter it. Snatch that bow? ”

Liang Xiao shook his head. "No, the men around him are not ordinary people. You can't handle it alone. It's not worth it to cost your life for a bow. Let's find another chance, this product is not convinced, wait for me to pick it again, and see if I can find a flaw. ”

Tuniuer smiled. "Hehe, Ah Xiao, this thing deserves to be unlucky. What treasure is not good to give, you have to bring a bow. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Liang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, haha.

In the distance, the sudden squad who had just gotten out of the car had weak legs and stepped on the air, a somersault fell from the car, and a dog ate and lay heavily on the ground.

——

Chang'an, Maoling.

Liu Ling was dressed in men's clothes, standing in the courtyard of the Liang family, graceful and suave, and the jade tree was in the wind. Liang Yuan raised her hand to invite. "Lord Weng, please take a seat."

Liu Ling responded, twisting his head while going to the court. Around the corner, the moon helped Hu Xijun, who was about to give birth, hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard, and before leaving, he glanced back at Liu Ling. It was that glance that made Liu Ling feel strange.

"Who's that?"

"That's my brother and daughter-in-law, nine months old, and I'm going to give birth in a few days, so I'm going to be a fat boy." Tu Hua'er commanded a servant girl to serve a drink, and said with a grin. She has a pungent nature, and she has seen Liu Ling many times, she has no sense of fear, and she is much more comfortable than Li Rongqing.

"I mean the bearded girl."

"She, her name is Moon, and she is a Donghu person......"

Liang Yuan coughed, interrupting Tuhua'er and motioning her to speak less. Tuhuaer is a good hand at doing things, and she is not as good as Li Rongqing when she treats people and things. It's just that I don't know what it's for today, Li Rongqing didn't come out, but Tuhuaer was in charge of waiting.

"She was a bearded girl captured by Ah Xiao when he was in Yanmen. Ah Xiao went to the Western Regions, and she was sent to Chang'an by the Yanmen Taishou. ”

Liu Ling smiled and said bluntly. "She's pregnant, isn't she?"

"Uh......" Liang Yuan was silent for a moment and nodded. Yes. ”

Liu Ling grinned. "Congratulations, ma'am, you will soon have a grandson. At that time, you can inform me, even if I am not in Chang'an, you will send someone to send a congratulatory gift. This is Liang Xiao's first child, although he is a Hu person, but it won't be long before the Son of Heaven conquers the Huns, and the Hu people are also Han people. The Huayi family has changed to summer, and the Liang family is a sign. ”

Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her again and again. Liu Ling didn't mention this topic again, and instead talked about dividends. The New Year is approaching, and she rushed over in person today to settle the bill with the Liang family. Because she was grounded, she rarely came to Chang'an, and was ready to bring all the new looms and weavers back to Huainan. She originally planned to invite Liang Yuan to Huainan, but now that the Liang family has settled in Maoling, it is estimated that it is unlikely.

Liu Ling and Liang Yuan agreed that although Liang Yuan would not go to Huainan, she and Liang Xiao agreed to pay the share, and they would send someone to send it every year in the future.

The attendants brought up the gold and laid it out on the hall. Liang Yuan just glanced at it and felt that it was wrong.

"Lord Weng, it's too much, isn't it?"

"Not much." Liu Ling chuckled: "I'm a businessman, no one wants to take advantage of me." However, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, so he will never treat people who are good to me. There are a total of 200 gold here, in addition to 100 gold is this year's share, the other 100 gold is the down payment of the glass business that Liang Xiao and I cooperated. Liuli has just started production, and it has not yet generated profits, so it can only be interesting this year. ”

Liang Yuan was confused. Liang Xiao never mentioned to her about cooperating with Liu Ling to produce any glass. Liang Xiao still knows how to make glass?

Liu Ling smiled like a flower, ordered someone to take a brocade box, took out a pure and flawless glass statue from it, and sent it to Liang Yuan with both hands. "This is the glass statue I made according to Liang Xiao's instructions, this is the feather man with the bow is the immortal of the Western Regions, is it very similar to Liang Xiao?"

Liang Yuan looked at the statue carefully, surprised and delighted. She has seen a lot of glass, but it is the first time she has seen such exquisite, clear and transparent glass, and the glass made into a statue is even more unheard of. According to her estimates, this statue is worth 100 gold.

Ah Xiao, how close are you to this lord, why haven't you told me about this matter?

——

Liu Ling left Maoling and walked a short distance before he was stopped by a horseman.

Han Yan rode a jujube red horse, gently shook the whip made of gold, came to Liu Ling's car, and said with a smile: "Lord Weng, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Liu Ling was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. She led a horse, took out a brocade box from the car, flew on the horse, and followed Han Yan out of the road. Now this area is within the scope of Shanglin Yuan, and ordinary people are forbidden to enter, and the Son of Heaven finally does not have to show his face as the Marquis of Pingyang.

The two of them galloped three or five miles through the forest and came to an open place. The Son of Heaven was dressed in a strong suit, and an arrow shot down a deer a hundred steps away, and he couldn't help but rejoice, and smiled. Hearing the footsteps, he glanced back and said with a smile: "My sister looks so good in a soldier's uniform, I'm afraid she was a man in her last life." ”

Liu Ling smiled and stepped forward to salute. "Your Majesty is heroic, if the command is determined, he must have been an invincible general in his previous life."

The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows. "Really? That sister thinks, compared with Liang Xiao, who is more intelligent? ”

"When it comes to generals, you are not equal. On generals, Liang Xiao is a puppet, how can he be compared with His Majesty. ”

"Hahaha...... "The Son of Heaven looked up to the sky and laughed." My sister said this, and I was a little fluttering. Sister, you haven't been to Chang'an for a long time, you won't just bring me some nice words, right? I heard that Huainanguo has been doing well recently, and there are a lot of new products, how about it, can you let me see it too? ”

"There is a treasure to be presented to Your Majesty." Liu Ling said, and presented the brocade box in his hand with both hands.

The Son of Heaven took it with a smile, opened it and took a look, only to see a golden round tube lying in the brocade box. He picked it up and looked at it repeatedly, and there was a transparent glass piece at each end of the cylinder.

"This is your newly developed glass?" The Son of Heaven raised an eyebrow. "The gifts to others are all gods, strange beasts, and large treasures, but this is what was given to me? My sister is too stingy. ”

"How can gods and beasts compare with this treasure. Your Majesty, why don't you hold it up and look into the distance. ”

The Son of Heaven raised it suspiciously, and Liu Ling taught him how to turn the golden cylinder, and after a while, the Son of Heaven suddenly exclaimed: "I see." ”

Liu Ling smiled proudly. "Your Majesty, what kind of gods and beasts are you like?"

The Son of Heaven put down the golden cylinder, looked into the distance, raised it again, and repeated it several times, before he nodded again and again with a smile on his face. "Yes, yes."

"That'...... Is this treasure worth an edict? ”

The Son of Heaven tilted his head and glanced at Liu Ling, a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. "What does my sister want?"

"I want to form a fleet to travel between the Central Plains and the South China Sea, find more overseas exotic beasts for Your Majesty, earn some small money, and make up for the empty money bag."

"You're still short of money?" The Son of Heaven laughed meaningfully twice.

"Who makes me too curious?" Liu Ling sighed. "In order to make this treasure, His Majesty Bo smiled, I spent nearly a thousand gold. If it weren't for my father's favor, I don't know what year and month I would have succeeded. ”

The Son of Heaven glanced at the golden cylinder in his hand, thought for a moment, and his expression gradually eased. "It's worth it, it's worth it, it's so simple to laugh. Okay, I'm ready. Sister, if there is such a good thing in the future, you have to tell me as soon as possible. ”——
