Chapter 293: The Name of a Man, The Shadow of a Tree

Before the translator could finish translating Liang Xiao's words, Tie Huali's face changed. The two armies are facing each other, and this is no longer a competition, but a fight for the dead. Thinking of the murderous soldiers outside, he felt a cool air swishing on the back of his neck. Suddenly, he regretted a little that he came to Liang Xiao like this, and he was in a hurry. In case Liang Xiao wants to kill me......

Tie Huali stared at Liang Xiao for a long time. "Is the messenger joking?"

"Didn't the general have doubts about my combat prowess? I would like to give the general a chance to experience it for himself. General rest assured, I won't shoot you like I shot you. As he spoke, Liang Xiao smiled meaningfully, and his eyes glanced at Tie Huali's lower body intentionally or unintentionally.

Tie Huali suddenly felt his crotch tighten, as if his life was being grabbed by someone. He heard Zhen'an say that Wudan was shot by Liang Xiao and had become a waste. Of course, he didn't know that Liang Xiao accidentally shot Wudan's life, but Liang Xiao deliberately wanted to make Wudan's life worse than death. At this moment, Liang Xiao's eyes were cold, which made him shudder.

can come and go freely among the 10,000 Huns, and hit Wudan hard, what is the five or six thousand Yue people?

"Messenger...... It's a joke. I just want to see the martial arts of the envoy, but I have no intention of meeting the envoy to life and death. "Tie Hua is depressed, he doesn't dare to joke with Liang Xiao anymore, in case this young man really fights with him, it won't be good." Moreover, the two countries are at war, and they have not yet been killed. The Han Dynasty and the Yue Clan are allied countries, how can they meet each other. I just want to ......"

"The general wants to see the bow." Liang Xiao beckoned. Sigma walked over and handed over the black bow. Liang Xiao took the bow in his hand and opened it three times in a row. It's easy. The face is not red. No breath. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he opened the bow three times, all aimed at Tie Huali, although he didn't take the arrow, the murderous spirit was not weak at all, and the first time he opened the bow, Tie Huali felt like an arrow pointing at his throat.

Tie Huali hurriedly shifted his gaze and looked at the black bow. "This is the legendary human bow? I've heard it for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen it. I wonder if the messenger will let me touch it with my own hands. ”

"Yes. As long as the general can outmaneuver me with arrows. ”

"What does this mean, messenger?" In the face of Liang Xiao's pressing step by step, Tie Huali finally couldn't hold back his anger, sank his face, and said sharply: "I ask with good words, but the envoy speaks badly to each other, is this the reason why you Han people are guests?" ”

"The host is like a wolf, how can he ask the guest to be like a sheep? When dealing with friends, you should use good wine, and when you deal with jackals, you can only use the sword. Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he unceremoniously forced Tie Huali to look. "General. You said...... Isn't that the truth? ”

Tie Hua's face was red, and he was embarrassed.

Although the Yueshi people are nomads, they never consider themselves barbarians. Sixty or seventy years ago, the Yueshi people were still the overlords of the grasslands, and even the Huns were subservient to them. Although it has declined now, the pride of a great country in his bones is still there.

A big country naturally has to have the demeanor of a big country, and to be rude is to lose face. Tie Huali had no intention of making a life-and-death decision with Liang Xiao, but just wanted to break Liang Xiao's sharpness, lest he treat Alyusu as the same as Batu, but he didn't expect Liang Xiao to be completely different from the Han people in his impression, not only did not let a step, but pressed step by step, caught off guard, and forced him into a corner. He lost both momentum and grace.

It's no wonder that Tie Huali is leaving. The Han people he had come into contact with before were either businessmen or fugitives, and when he asked for it, he was naturally polite and compromised, and he had ever met a Han man with a background like Liang Xiao. In a hurry, I suffered a sullen loss, and every inch was in chaos.

In contrast, Liang Xiao knew much more about him. At the beginning, he brazenly shot Zhen'an's guards, because he was afraid that he would escape halfway, so he reported to Tie Huali. Once Tie Huali sent someone to intercept the mountain pass, he would not be able to get out of the valley at all, and he would be in a dilemma, where could he be as tough as he is now. Even if Tie Hua left his sleeves, he could still go east and go straight to the Aleusu theory.

Seeing that Tie Hua was embarrassed, he no longer had the arrogance before entering the tent. Liang Xiao laughed and took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.

"I have heard that the general is serious and can't joke. When I saw it today, it was true. Liang Xiao warmly invited. Come, General, please take a seat, I happen to have some questions for the General. ”

Tie Huali let out a long breath and hurriedly said a few words of modesty. Liang Xiao said that he was joking now, but he didn't mean to joke at all just now, but there was a possibility of discord and swords meeting. Tie Huali was now covered with cold sweat on his back, and he didn't dare to care about Liang Xiao.

The two took their seats and gossiped a few words. Liang Xiao asked when Li Shuyun left, and was relieved to learn that Aliusu personally escorted them eastward. When Batu said he was sure to convince Aleusu, he didn't believe it much. Now it seems that Batu looks heartless, but he is not a stupid person.

Then they talked about the Huns. Liang Xiao was a little angry about this matter. It's the end of June, and autumn is just around the corner. The Huns could attack at any time, but he hadn't even seen Aliusu in person. Judging from Tie Huali's attitude, Alyusu may not be very convincing.

Sure enough, as soon as Liang Xiao spoke, Tie Huali interrupted him.

"It's too risky. In the first war last year, although the strength of our department grew rapidly, there was still no harmony between the various departments, and there were still some possibilities to deal with the Wusun people, and it was ...... to deal with the Hun army" Tie Huali shook his head again and again. "It's not that I destroy my own prestige and grow the ambition of others, it's really a huge disparity in strength, and there is no possibility of victory. The prince would never agree. ”

Liang Xiao's heart sank. Zhen'an is Aliusu's confidant, and Tie Huali is Aliusu's trusted general, and the two have the same opinion, which shows that what they say is the truth. To make Aleusu attract the main force of the Huns and rush to the front as cannon fodder, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult.

This may simply be an impossible task.

——

The Son of Heaven sat in the hall, scratching his brows and pondering.

Guo Sheren stood aside, holding his breath, for fear of interfering with the Son of Heaven's thinking. The Son of Heaven is in a bad mood today, as if he has lost something, but he can't think of what he lost.

Outside the hall, remembering the sound of Huanpei, Queen Chen Ajiao walked over in the company of a group of palace maids, and saw the appearance of the Son of Heaven like this, Chen Ajiao laughed softly, waved her hand to signal the palace maids to stay outside the hall, walked into the hall alone, leaned on the side of the Son of Heaven, and gently pushed him.

"What does the magistrate think?"

"Oh." The Son of Heaven woke up like a dream. "Gillian, why are you here?"

"I got a new article and thought it was good, so I wanted to come and enjoy it with the county officials." Chen Ajiao took out a silk book from her sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the Son of Heaven happily. "The county official's article is better than mine, you can help me see if it's really good."

"Which one is it from? If you want to talk about endowment, ......" The Son of Heaven was suddenly stunned and turned his head to look at Guo Sheren. "By the way, I finally remembered. What about Dongfang Shuo? I haven't seen him in days, where has he gone. ”

"Dongfang Shuo, he resigned and traveled, and I heard that he was going to the Western Regions."

"The Western Regions?" The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows. "At this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as traveling to the Western Regions, right?"

"Not really." Guo Sheren said with a smile: "I heard that when Liang Xiao was in Chang'an, they were neighbors and had a good relationship, and the car he took was sent by Liang Xiao." Now that Liang Xiao is making meritorious service in the Western Regions, he is probably red-eyed and has followed. ”

The Son of Heaven crooked his mouth and did not speak, but his eyes were a little gloomy. The people of the Western Regions went west to conquer Dawan, and he could only watch Liang Xiao being destroyed by the Huns, which was a very bad feeling. When he was helpless, Dongfang Shuo resigned and rushed to the Western Regions, which made him feel even more incompetent.

The dignified son of heaven is not as comfortable as an Dongfang Shuo, how depressed.

Chen Ajiao took advantage of the excitement, but was left aside by the Son of Heaven, and her mood suddenly became bad. She said angrily: "The county official is really busy with government affairs, and he doesn't even know that Dongfang Shuo is gone?" ”

The Son of Heaven was unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure. He rolled his eyes and said in a harmonious voice: "Gillian, I heard that the Lord summoned Liang Xiao's mother Liang Xiao for questioning last time, did you ask anything?" ”

"What can you ask? Liang Yuan was originally a Zhao girl, she learned dance since she was a child, and wanted to enter the Liang Palace, but unfortunately her qualifications were not enough, so she went to Jiangdu and became a weaver woman. ”

"That's all?"

"That's all." Chen Ajiao glanced at the Son of Heaven. "If the county magistrate wants to know anything, I'll go and inquire for you."

"That'...... What is the Empress Dowager's impression of Liang Xiao? ”

"The Empress Dowager? Ha! Chen Ajiao laughed exaggeratedly. The Empress Dowager only remembers things related to King Liang now, and the others are confused. She doesn't care who Liang Xiao is. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled, put his arm around Chen Ajiao's shoulders, and helped her to sit down, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he begged a little more. "Gillian, there is one thing, I don't know what to do, you help me with the staff officer, how about it?"

Chen Ajiao looked at the Son of Heaven in surprise and was overjoyed. She has been the queen for so long, and it is the first time that the Son of Heaven has asked her for advice. She held the hand of the Son of Heaven and said without thinking, "What's the matter, you can say it." As long as I can help you, I will help. ”

"That...... I have an eagle, a very good one. This eagle can help me catch rabbits and help me chase wolves. Now, this eagle is being targeted by wolves because it has hit too much prey. You say, should I save him? ”

"Of course it should have been saved. Wouldn't it be a pity that such a good eagle was bitten to death by a wolf? Chen Ajiao suddenly screamed. The eagle you're talking about is Liang Xiao, right? What, he's in danger? ”

"Yes, he was targeted by the Huns." The Son of Heaven shook Chen Ajiao's hand. "Gillian, do you know why it was so peaceful last winter, it was because Liang Xiao shot the father and son of the Hun Evil King and attracted the Huns to the Western Regions. He is a hero of the court. ”

Chen Ajiao's eyes rolled, clapped her hands and smiled: "I know, you want to send troops, but I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager won't allow it, isn't it?" ”

The Son of Heaven nodded awkwardly.

"I can help you out. But if it is said and you rescue this eagle, how can you thank me? ”

"As long as it can be said, I will thank you as much as you want me to do."

Chen Ajiao was overjoyed, rolled up her sleeves, and showed her small palms. "That's good, gentleman's word......"

The Son of Heaven blinked, hesitated for a moment, raised his palm and struck Chen Ajiao twice. "It's hard to chase a horse." ——
