PS: On Monday, ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes!

Liang Xiao is now penniless. In order to escape from the pursuit of the Evil King, he threw away almost everything he could, doing everything possible to lighten the burden and speed up.

As a result, he dragged the Evil King to exhaustion, and made himself poor. In addition to weapons and armor, he now only has a Han Festival and a seal ribbon, and even the war horses are snatched from the Huns.

A penny forced the hero to death, not to mention what to take to see King Dawan and King Yue, how to fulfill the promise to his subordinates was enough to make it difficult for him. If you can't keep your promises, you will use these words to boost morale in the future, and the effect will be much worse. For a rough man like Xie Guanglong, it is too vain to talk about the righteousness of the country, and it is more practical to be promoted to become rich, beautiful people and good wine.

He asked Guo Wenbin to lead him to meet the Han merchants, just to borrow some money from these Han merchants, deal with this matter first, and then pay them back when he returns to the Central Plains. Now that he has met Nie Yi, all the difficulties immediately disappeared.

Nie Yi is worthy of being a big businessman who has been in business for many years, and as soon as Guo Wenbin finished talking about the hardships along the way, he understood the meaning of Guo Wenbin's words. He immediately arranged a banquet to pick up the wind for Liang Xiao and the others.

The glass of grapes and wine was poured, and the dishes with all the colors and flavors were served like water, and the enchanting and charming dancing queen came up, wearing a light gauze dress, half-revealing her slender waist and feet and round and strong thighs, and danced an exotic dance, her eyes were smart, and she plucked everyone's heartstrings like dexterous fingers, causing these rough men to laugh and laugh, and they couldn't help but stand up. Jumped up with the dancing girl.

Nie Yi and Guo Wenbin accompanied Liang Xiao to speak.

Although Liang Xiao also thinks that these dancing girls are indeed beautiful and moving. But he wasn't in a hurry yet. Moreover, he was used to seeing stunning colors in his previous life, where would he be tempted by these dancing girls. With a smile on his face, he quietly listened to Nie Yi's words, carefully figuring out Nie Yi's thoughts. In his opinion, Nie Yi doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for the so-called national righteousness, and he may have no other motive for doing it.

In Nie Yi's eyes, Liang Xiao was a little less calm than he should have at his age. The little worry in my heart gradually let go. When he first saw the half of the bamboo talisman, he was actually very worried. Liang Xiao is too young, and these entourages around him are also some rough and aggressive men, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like people who carry out secret missions. If Liang Xiao was like them, he didn't plan to reveal his identity.

Full of wine and food, the Lang officials were sent to rest by the maids, and Liang Xiao was led to the backyard by Nie Yi, only Tu Niu'er was alone, and even Guo Wenbin walked away with interest. Although he didn't know why Nie Yi invited Liang Xiao to the inner room as soon as they met. But he has been in business for many years and knows when to avoid suspicion.

Nie Yi ordered someone to send a few plates of fruit. Then he closed the door, took out half a piece of bamboo talisman from the cabinet behind the bed, and gently placed it in front of Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao got up, took out the bamboo talisman, and glanced at it with Nie Yi's bamboo talisman.

The two pieces of bamboo talisman are tightly fitted, exactly a pair.

Liang Xiao smiled and arched his hand. Nie Yi also smiled, he put away the bamboo talisman, then Liang Xiao's hand, returned to his seat, and said naturally: "When the adult was outside the door, he dropped this talisman, and he used to pay a lot of attention to me, could it be that the Great Xingling once said my name as an adult?" ”

Liang Xiao shook his head.

He knew that Nie Yi would ask this question. Anyone on a secret mission would not want too many people to joint. If Wang Hui easily told him Nie Yi's name, it would be too dangerous for Nie Yi. In such a task, whether or not to take the initiative should be in Nie Yi's hands.

"Nie Yi was too worried. Your name is not mentioned in the Great Order. I heard your name because you are so famous in Mayi. As for the bamboo talisman, I didn't hide it from Nie Weng that in order to escape from the pursuit of the Huns, I threw almost everything away, only the bamboo talisman and the envoy were always with me, and it was an accident to fall. You see, we are all ragged and beggar-like, with our sleeves torn. For a momentary mistake, please forgive Nie Weng. ”

"I see." Nie Yi glanced at Liang Xiao's clothes that had been torn a few times, and also smiled. "Then please take a shower and change your clothes first, and then talk?"

"It doesn't matter." Liang Xiao calmly rolled up his sleeves. "Now it's not to see King Dawan, don't be so particular. Nie Weng, Daxing ordered me to go to Yanmen to connect with you, why are you here? ”

Nie Yi sighed. "My lord, I am a businessman, how can I sit and guard Yanmen. I'm also wondering, usually the joints are in the spring, when I usually be in Yanmen. How can you ...... this time" Nie Yi shook his head and smiled to himself. "Can you help me?"

Liang Xiao looked at Nie Yi, knowing that he still had a lot of questions in his heart, and he didn't dare to show his hole cards first. He smiled: "Probably because the Empress Dowager is sick, the counterattack against the Huns is imminent." ”

"Is the Empress Dowager in poor health?"

"It's not been good. When you're older, it's inevitable that there will be some minor problems. ”

"That's just as well. Adults, please, try the melons and fruits, Dawan's melons and fruits are very good. ”

Liang Xiao nodded, picked a grape, put it in his mouth, and sucked it slowly. I have long heard Guo Wenbin say that Dawan's melons and fruits are famous, and I tasted it with my own mouth, and it was really good.

Nie Yi took a piece of melon by himself, gnawed it slowly, and gnawed it for a long time before he ate the melon cleanly, slowly wiped his hands, raised his head, and looked firm. "My lord has traveled thousands of miles to this place, do you want to unite with the Dayue clan to attack the Huns?"

Liang Xiao nodded.

"Then the adults may be disappointed." Nie Yi sighed. "Your Excellency is too late. If it was thirty years ago, when the Dayue clan had not yet captured the middle of the river, the Dayue clan might still have a little courage to fight back to Hexi. Now, another generation has passed, and they have forgotten their hatred, and are content with the riches of the river, and I am afraid they have no confidence to kill back. ”

Liang Xiao picked up a grape again and chuckled: "It's not too late to come." ”

Nie Yi looked at Liang Xiao puzzled. "What do you think?"

Liang Xiao put the grapes in his mouth, glanced at Nie Yi, and ate the grapes slowly. Although Nie Yi was a little anxious, he didn't dare to urge, so he had to wait patiently. Liang Xiao ate two grapes and praised them: "I often hear that Dawan's melons and fruits are good, but no matter how you imagine it, it is better to taste it yourself." ”

"That's nature." Nie Yi listened to Liang Xiao almost patiently.

"Whether you can say that you can move the Otsuki clan, you have to try it yourself to find out. Moreover, the purpose of the imperial court is only to find an ally who can jointly deal with the Huns, and it doesn't really matter whether it is the Dayue clan or not. Nie Weng, don't you say? ”

Nie Yi listened, raised his eyebrows, and nodded again and again. And he said, "But...... Isn't the mission of the adults to form an alliance with the Otsutsuki clan? ”

"The mission given to me by the imperial court is to send an envoy to the Xiongnu and form an alliance with the Dayue clan, which is the task given to me by Lord Zheng. Now, I have come to the Western Regions, and it is up to me to decide whether to form an alliance with the Otsutsuki clan or with other nations. ”

Nie Yi's eyes flickered. "Isn't that a suspicion of trespass? If the court blames ......"

"Chang'an is thousands of miles away, if you ask the Son of Heaven for everything, it will take at least half a year to come and go, and no matter how good the opportunity is, you will miss it. So sometimes we need to act and take responsibility. Of course, if we want to succeed, we can't do without the assistance of righteous people like Nie Weng and Wen Bin, otherwise we can't cope with it even if we have three heads and six arms. ”

Nie Yi understood and arched his hand: "What the adults said is very true. I don't know what the plan is, but I will do my best to help. ”

Liang Xiao smiled, he knew that Nie Yi was full of doubts and would not accept his plan easily. He didn't answer Nie Yi's question, but asked rhetorically, "Nie Weng, in your opinion, who is more suitable to be an ally between the Great Moon Clan and Great Xia?" ”

Nie Yi frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "In my humble opinion, it is more suitable for Daxia." The people of Daxia have a Western heritage, do business with credit, and respect contracts. They speak the same Chinese language as Kangju and Anxi, and their customs are the same, and business contacts are convenient. Although the Da Yue clan is better than the Huns, after all, they are barbaric and don't even have words. They can't do business, they only collect taxes. ”

Liang Xiao praised: "It's still Nie Weng who is well-informed, in one word." In this case, it is good to be able to persuade the Otsutsuki clan to go back and fight with the Huns, but if you can't be convinced, why not abandon the Otsutsuki clan and choose a more suitable ally......"

Liang Xiao twisted his fingers lightly, and looked at Nie Yi lightly. Nie Yi couldn't help but shudder. He looked at Liang Xiao and suddenly felt a little uneasy, this young man was ambitious and bold enough, and he actually wanted to stir up the situation in the entire river with just a few people.

Can he do it? This is easy to say, but it's so hard to do. Don't look at the high hands and low hands, lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot. He is risking his own future, is there any need for me to follow him around? That's a big risk.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Ally with Great Xia and Great Wan, besiege the Great Moon Clan, and fight them back." Liang Xiao laughed softly: "Nie Weng thinks that how to succeed is more likely? ”

Nie Yi smiled, with a little disapproval. "My lord, Great Xia can't even deal with the Sai people, how can he be the opponent of the Yue people. If you put your hopes on the people of Great Xia, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Your Excellency, you have to think twice. ”

Nie Yi said, standing up, meaning to stop here. Liang Xiao didn't move, he raised his eyebrows.

"Nie Weng, do you think it's easier or more difficult to kill the Hun Evil King under the pursuit of thousands of elite Hun cavalry than to help the Great Xia people defeat the Yue Clan?"

Nie Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Liang Xiao in a daze, and didn't react for a while.

Liang Xiao stood up, tidied up the hem of his clothes, and said to Nie Yi slowly: "Nie Weng, you are a clever businessman, you know when to make a move. I'm a samurai, and I know when to turn defeat into victory. I believe in your way of doing business, and you should also believe in my way of using soldiers. You're right? ”

Nie Yi hesitated for a moment. "My lord, can you let me think about it?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Of course. If we can't trust each other, how can we cooperate sincerely, and how can we become bigger and stronger? ”――
