"You've gotten to this point in archery?" Huan Yuan was also very surprised.

"It's true that there have been some breakthroughs in the past few days, but luck is the key." Liang Xiao laughed. "Shoot the first arrow, I knew that I would feel first-class today, and I would definitely be able to suppress them."

"Luck is important, but it also needs to be backed by strength." Huan Yuan smiled and nodded. "Now, I'm afraid King Huainan is going to be in a hurry."

"Of course he's in a hurry. If he doesn't hurry, he will lose his face. ”

Huan Yuan raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?" He thought for a moment and said, "Why do you say seven or eight months?" ”

Liang Xiao blinked and laughed. Huan Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he also understood, and couldn't help laughing.

"Master, we have limited time, so we can't delay it too long. I'll discuss it with you, and put a little more pressure on King Huainan, so that he can beg me to get things done quickly. ”

"You say, I listen to you."

――

"What does seven or eight months mean?" King Huainan is worthy of being a university scholar who is good at finding problems between the lines, and after listening to Liu Qian's report, he captured this information for the first time.

Liu Qian was stunned. I'm talking about the arrow target that Liang Xiao left outside the post house, why do you care about this?

Seeing that Liu Qian didn't react for a long time, King Huainan glared at him fiercely. "Idiot! Liang Xiao came to ask for a kiss, but things turned out like this, how could he not be in a hurry? He's just trying to get away with it. It's just that...... Why did he say seven or eight months? ”

Liu Qian's eyes were a little straight. wanted to compete in archery, but as soon as Liang Xiao showed his ability, he didn't even have the qualifications to call the formation, which was already embarrassing. I don't know until now. Liang Xiao in addition to hitting back at him with his amazing archery skills. There are other means. And he didn't react at all.

If it was a competition between the two sides, he should have been hit by Liang Xiao's blow.

Liu Qian was embarrassed, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, eager to draw the sword and kill himself, blood splashed on the spot. He has never been humiliated like this since he was a child.

"Seven or eight months, seven or eight months......" King Huainan suddenly stopped, his face pale. It's broken. Ling'er, that kid, won't it be ...... Got it? ”

When Liu Qian heard this, he was also frightened. It takes about half a month from Chang'an to Huainan, a month back and forth, plus seven or eight months, that is, eight or nine months, and a woman's pregnancy from confirmation of pregnancy to delivery, is it between eight or nine months?

No wonder Liang Xiao is not in a hurry, Liu Ling is already pregnant, and the one who is in a hurry is Huainan Palace. The dignified lord is unmarried and pregnant. Marry with a belly? Although illegitimate children are not uncommon, this is the Huainan palace after all. It's not an ordinary citizen. Besides, what kind of person is King Huainan, that is the world-famous virtuous king, a first-class university scholar with first-class moral articles. His daughter......

Liu Qian felt that the world was spinning, and his brain was buzzing.

The king of Huainan was also in a mess, gritting his teeth with hatred. "Ling'er, Ling'er, you are really smart, you are confused for a while, how can you do such a shameless thing? What kind of face does this make my father have. ”

Liu Qian's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, stunned.

The father and son were in chaos for a while, but King Huainan had seen a lot of the world, so he immediately sent someone to invite Zuo Wu and others. After listening to King Huainan's speculation, Zuo Wu also felt that it was very possible. It is no secret that Liu Ling is obsessed with Liang Xiao, and for Liang Xiao, Liu Ling even lived in Chang'an for a long time. It's a bit difficult for this man to admire a woman, but it's easy for a woman to favor a man.

What's more, Liang Xiao is not a gentleman who abides by etiquette, he comes from a humble background, he has done everything about digging graves and robbing graves, and he must have done no less things about stealing women. No, he hasn't married yet, he already has two concubines in the family, and there is also a princess Dawan in the Western Regions. If he is polite, it is not normal.

The more Huainan Wang listened, the more nervous he became, originally it was only three points of suspicion, but now he has eight or nine points. He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent Zuo Wu to invite Huan Yuan and Liang Xiao into the palace to discuss the matter of courting. This matter can't be delayed, it drags on to the end, and it is the king of Huainan who loses face. A scoundrel like Liang Xiao doesn't care about face.

――

Seeing Zuo Wu, Liang Xiao and Huan Yuan exchanged a smug look and smiled.

The two followed Zuo Wu to the palace, Liang Xiao stood outside the palace, and Huan Yuan followed Zuo Wu into the palace. After waiting for a while, the king of Huainan came out. Although he was full of depression, he had to put on a smirk.

"Huan Jun, it's sluggish, it's sluggish. The affairs of the past few days have been too busy, and if it is rude, please also invite Huan Jun Haihan. ”

"It doesn't matter." Huan Yuan waved his hand calmly. "The king is dedicated to academics and is famous all over the world. It is my honor to be able to ask for my disciple to marry Huainan. ”

King Huainan laughed, took a seat, said a few words, and went straight to the point.

"Although Liang Xiao is young, he is a well-known talent in the world. It is also a blessing for the little girl to be favored by him. However, marriage is a big deal after all, and the little girl is the pearl of the widow's palm, Liang Xiao wants to marry well, this dowry ...... It can't be light. The widow said in advance, money, jewelry, etc., I Huainan is not very eye-catching. ”

Huan Yuan smiled and nodded. "The king is right, Lord Weng is a rare good woman in the world, if you want to marry her, you must naturally have a dowry that you can handle." As he spoke, he took a flat brocade box from his sleeve and placed it on the desk. He opened the brocade box and took out two book bags, one green and one red, and placed them side by side on the desk.

"The Liang family has prepared two gifts, and I don't know which one is more in line with the king's wishes, so why don't you ask the king to pick one, how about it?"

King Huainan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Huan Yuan. Although he couldn't refuse this family business, he still wanted to embarrass Liang Xiao. No money, no jewelry, so what else could you want? He really wanted to know what else Liang Xiao could get as a dowry. He never expected that Liang Xiao was not only ready, but also prepared two.

What kind of treasures are hidden in these two book bags that make Liang Xiao so confident?

"I wonder what's the difference between these two gifts?"

"Cyan is to seek profit, red is to avoid harm."

"Profit-seeking? Avoiding harm? King Huainan stroked his beard and was momentarily moved. That's right, the benefits and disadvantages are something that everyone can't escape. Even though he has 10,000 family fortunes and 3,000 customers, he can't avoid the two things of benefit and harm. I know my own business, and the benefits and disadvantages of Huainan are much more serious than ordinary people think of money and jewelry.

Could this be the reason why Ling'er fell in love with Liang Xiao? Does Liang Xiao have the ability to help me realize my dream and avoid failure?

King Huainan hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly: "Li, there are enough widows, let's see how to avoid harm." ”

"Your Majesty, please." Huan Yuan picked up the red book bag and offered it with both hands. The attendant beside King Huainan came over, took the book bag, and turned around and put it on the case in front of King Huainan. But the king of Huainan did not open it. He stared at the red book bag for a moment, raising an eyebrow. "What if the widow feels that the bride price is not heavy enough to marry the widow's daughter? Can I change to another one? ”

Huan Yuan put the cyan book bag into the box, raised his head, and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, you will be satisfied."

"Are you so confident?"

"Like Lord Weng, I have always had confidence in Liang Xiao."

King Huainan pursed his lips disapprovingly, but a drum beat in his heart. Liang Xiao is so confident, did he guess my plan? If this is the case, Ling'er is a smart life, and he has been confused for a while. How can such an important matter be told to outsiders? No matter how you say it, you have to wait until he becomes a member of my Huainan Palace.

Could it be ...... Ling'er has already convinced him?

King Huainan's heart was up and down, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and the little red book bag seemed to contain something earth-shattering, so he didn't dare to open it. After a long while, he barely managed to stabilize his mind, reached out and untied the strap of the book bag, and took out the silk book inside.

It's a map.

"What kind of map is this?" King Huainan frowned, looked at it for a long time, and didn't understand what it was. He had seen countless maps, but he had not seen such a map.

"A map that can make the king get his wish, but without disaster and blame."

"Got your wish?" King Huainan narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the map. After a while, he suddenly understood something, put the map on the table, pointed to the center of the map, and exclaimed: "This is ...... This is the big man? Dahan ...... Only such a small piece? ”

Huan Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at King Huainan quietly. Liang Xiao just asked him to give these two silk books to Huainan Wang Xuan, but he didn't tell him what these two silk books were. Before that, he didn't even know it was a map.

King Huainan watched it for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became. He asked Liang Xiao to come in. "What kind of map are you?"

Liang Xiao knelt opposite the King of Huainan, pointed to the map and said, "King, this is the map of the world. The piece that the king refers to is what we call the Great Han. To the left of the king is the Western Regions. There are dozens of large and small countries in the Western Regions, and I am afraid that there is not much space left for the king. But on the right hand side of the king, no, no, on the far right, this piece of land is the gift of heaven to the king. ”

The corner of the king of Huainan's mouth twitched, he stretched out his hand to push the map away, and laughed disdainfully: "The widow is the king of Huainan, and Huainan is the feudal country of the widow, so why covet the barbarian land." Look at this map, this land is more than 10,000 miles away from Huainan, right? ”

"The Land of the Barbarians?" Liang Xiao laughed. "Great King, Huainan used to be the land of Chu, if I remember correctly, the people of Chu are the descendants of phoenix birds, the descendants of merchants, right?"

King Huainan was confused and didn't know what Liang Xiao was talking about.

"This land is not a barbarian land, it was conquered by merchants long before King Wu conquered it. The fertility of the land is no less than that of the Central Plains. After the death of the Shang dynasty, a large number of descendants migrated eastward and now live in that land. If a virtuous king like the king obeys him with virtue, I think they will definitely eat pot pulp to welcome the king. This place is thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty, and the king has merit, how can the imperial court not entrust the important task of guarding this place to the king? ”

King Huainan's heart fluttered, and his eyebrows involuntarily raised.
