Chapter 276: Huo Qu's Illness

Liang Yuan frowned, and suddenly laughed softly. "The eldest princess really has eyes like lightning, and she can see through the details of the concubine at a glance."

"So, are you really from Liang Guo?"

"No, I am from the Zhao Kingdom, just to enter the Liang Palace, so I changed my name according to the customs of the Liang Kingdom." Liang Yuan gave a salute. "The concubine and her sister have been learning singing and dancing together since childhood, and learning etiquette. However, the cheap makeup qualifications are ugly, not as good as my sister, so I failed to enter the palace and can only make a living from brocade. ”

"You knitted this double-sided brocade?"

"Yes. The concubine had no chance to enter the palace, and she had no food and clothing, so she had to bury her head in the brocade. Fortunately, there is no endless way, and the concubine still has some talent in this area, so she innovated and developed this double-sided brocade technology. ”

The chief princess of the pavilion Tao bowed slightly. "Did your sister enter the palace later?"

Liang Yuan nodded, her face slightly pale. "It's a pity that there are thousands of beauties in King Liang's palace, and she failed to get King Liang's favor and died of depression."

"You went to Jiangdu Country?"

"As the eldest princess said, but at that time it was still against Wu."

"Liang Xiao was born in Wu Kingdom?" The Pavilion Chief Princess turned around and continued to admire the plum blossoms, and her tone became a little indifferent. "Who was his father, and why didn't he take his father's surname, but yours? What's the secret in this? ”

The maid next to her laughed, undisguised her contempt for Liang Yuan.

"This ......" Liang Yuan sighed lightly: "His father is a rebel Wu Xiaoguan, and he was killed in battle before my son was born." The concubine was afraid of delaying my son's future, so she didn't want to mention him, so she let him take his mother's surname. There are only two sisters in my Liang family, and I also need a descendant. ”

"That's right." The princess of the pavilion Tao was completely disinterested. If it weren't for the fact that Liang Xiao still had a little interest. Almost immediately, Liang Yuan was going to be blasted out. She asked a few more questions. And he was rewarded with a golden cake. Send someone to send Liang Yuan out.

Liang Yuan thanked her and left the princess's mansion with Li Rongqing. She got into the carriage, closed the curtains, and the smile on her face immediately faded.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Liang Yuan thought for a moment. "Rongqing, you go to Mr. Dongfang and ask him to come to Maoling when he has time, and say that I have something to discuss with him."

Li Rongqing responded. Turn away and merge into the bustling crowd. Liang Yuan glanced at the princess's mansion again and sighed softly.

The Son of Heaven took Han Yan, Wei Qing and others, and walked into a side hall not far from the west side of the Jiaofang Hall with relaxed steps.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven was coming, Master Wei Zifu hurriedly greeted him. The Son of Heaven waved his hand, held Wei Zifu's hand, smiled, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that Wei Zifu's face was not quite right. "Zifu. What happened to you? ”

Wei Zifu said uneasily: "I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, and the concubine was not well prepared. This...... This ......"

The Son of Heaven was a little impatient. "What the hell is going on?"

"The concubine's sister came to visit the concubine. He is in the temple at this moment. ”

"Oh." The Son of Heaven smiled and waved his hand. "I thought something was going on. When you have a baby, your family should come to see you. Let them come out and let me see them too. I often hear Wei Qing talk about the two of them, but I have never seen them. ”

"In addition to them, there are ...... A child. ”

"Kid? Whose children? ”

"My second sister's son, Huo Quai."

The Son of Heaven flicked his sleeves and said with a big grin: "Boy? Okay, son-in-law, you should let him come often, maybe next time you can have a son for me." Let him come out and let me see how he looks. ”

Wei Zifu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly invited the two sisters out, Wei Junru and Wei Shao'er looked similar to Wei Zifu, but Wei Junru was much more stable, and when he saw the Son of Heaven, he saluted respectfully, didn't say a word, and stood aside quietly. Wei Shao'er jumped out of the way, and after the salute, she raised her eyebrows, glanced at the Son of Heaven, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a handsome young man." ”

The Son of Heaven is happy. "What, do you think I'm an ugly man?"

"Nobleman, although his appearance is not bad, his muscles and bones are inevitably weaker, but it is rare to see someone as heroic as His Majesty."

The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows: "Then how am I better than Chen Zhang?" ”

Chen Zhang is Wei Shao'er's lover, the great-grandson of Qu Shunhou Chen Ping, and is currently at home. Wei Shao'er listened and pouted. "He's a character, but when he compares with His Majesty, he's far behind."

The Son of Heaven laughed. He turned his gaze to Huo Quai, who was behind Wei Shao'er, and couldn't help but light up his eyes. Huo Quzhi was only about four or five years old, with a round face, a pair of black and white eyes, looking at the Son of Heaven without blinking, without awe, but showing a little curiosity. The Son of Heaven tilted his head, looked at him for a while, and suddenly turned around and said, "Wang Sun, who do you look like in his eyes?" ”

Han Yan looked at it carefully, and it was also a little strange. "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it. This kid is different and somewhat ...... Some are born with pride, like ......"

"It's like there aren't many people he can afford."

"Yes, yes." Han Yan clapped her hands and said, "It's still in Your Majesty's words." ”

"Then tell me, who does he look like?"

Han Yan thought for a moment. "Liang Xiao?"

"I think so too." The Son of Heaven nodded, sat down on the brocade table brought by the eunuch, and beckoned to Huo Quai. Huo Qu was not afraid, but just looked up at his mother. Wei Shao'er gently pushed. Huo Quzhi walked in front of the Son of Heaven and saluted seriously.

The Son of Heaven looked at him, and the more he looked at him, the more he rejoiced, and pulled him to his side, and looked and looked. "Like, really like. When he saw Liang Xiao for the first time, his eyes were the same, although he was respectful, he was fearless. Zifu, I like this child, let him stay in the palace, I want to see him every day. ”

Wei Zifu was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

The Son of Heaven took Huo Quai's little hand, with indescribable envy. "Chen Zhang is blessed to have picked up such a good son for nothing."

Wei Shao'er grabbed the conversation. "He's dying of poverty, so what's the blessing. It's good to stay with Your Majesty if you are sick, or you will starve to death sooner or later. ”

The Son of Heaven couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although Chen Zhang has no official position, he will not starve to death. Well, since you're so worried, I'll let him be the official eater. Starving him to death is a small matter, starving you, but it is not beautiful. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Shao'er gave a salute with a smile, and his eyes were like waves.

The Son of Heaven smiled silently, gently squeezed Huo Quzhi's little hand, and asked a few questions. Huo Quzhi answered them one by one, although his voice was immature, he was not in a hurry. The more the Son of Heaven looked, the more he pleased, and he praised it repeatedly. "Boy, grow up quickly, and in the future, like Liang Xiao, you will be dissatisfied with my Han conquest and expand your territory."

Huo Quzhi scratched his head. "Who is Liang Xiao and why should I be like him?"

"Liang Xiao......" The Son of Heaven pondered for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He is my eagle dog, flying very high, going far, and now in Dawan, thousands of miles away. If you are sick, you will be like him in the future, okay? ”

Huo Quzhi clenched his fists. "I will fly higher and go farther than him."

The Son of Heaven rubbed Huo Quai's little head and laughed loudly: "Ambitious." Good boy, it should be. ”

As night fell, the mercenaries returned to camp after a day of training and playing with each other. The bonfire was raised, the water was boiling, the mutton was tumbling in the iron kettle, and the milky soup was frothy and gurgling, and the aroma was mouth-watering. The sheep was roasted on the fire, and the sheep fat dripped in the fire and creaked. The mercenaries grabbed handfuls of snow, wiped the dust off their hands, and sat around the campfire, shouting.

"I'm tired of Lao Tzu, hurry up and bring the wine, and go to sleep after drinking."

"Drink and drink, your mother knows how to drink, you can forget it if you drink to death, you will save your legs tomorrow and be embarrassed."

"You waste is a nuisance, Lao Tzu accidentally fell down today, and he didn't mean to."

Liang Xiao looked at the mercenaries who were still wary of each other a few days ago, and couldn't help but smile slightly. These rough men, after letting go of their guards, are easy to get into a piece, and they are easier to deal with than those nobles. The people of Dawan have BMW and Jinshan, but their strength is not strong, and the class division between the magnates in the city and the common people outside the city cannot be ignored. They can have a good time with him, but they hardly go to the door of Yu Cai's big tent.

Of course, they weren't welcome either.

"Isn't it bitter?" Liang Xiao walked over and said with a smile.

Seeing that it was Liang Xiao, the mercenaries gave up their seats one after another, and said in a gossipy voice: "My lord, sit together." "Someone threw over a bag of milk wine. Liang Xiao took it, poured it, handed it back again, and smacked his lips. "Good rush!"

"Haha, my lord, this wine is freshly brewed, of course. We are all poor people and cannot afford to drink wines that have been cellared for years. ”

"Isn't it, my lord, when will we give us a chance to make meritorious contributions, let us go to the city guard mansion with you to drink some good wine and taste the taste of those little beauties. I heard that their bed skills are very good, and their two long legs can break a person's waist. ”

The mercenaries burst out laughing. For the eighteen masters who were rewarded for Liang Xiao's meritorious service, they were very red-eyed. Not only the wine and beauty of the castle guard, but more importantly, the reputation. As a mercenary, it is a matter of great pride to be the guest of honor of the castle guard.

"I can't guarantee the matter of the city guard. I don't think you want Suye City to be besieged again. Liang Xiao smiled, and reached out to take a mouthful of Uzi Treasure Knife in his hand. This, you can have. ”

The mercenaries glanced at each other, and the atmosphere became a little strange. The same knife, they have seen it on Li Shuyun's body. Liang Xiao took out such a knife at this time, is it related to the undetermined deputy head of the mercenary group?

"Whoever can come up with a way for us to catch up with the Huns before the snow melts, this knife is anyone's."

Some of the mercenaries scratched their heads, some rolled their eyes, and some pulled their beards desperately. It snowed several times in a row, and the snow was deep enough to bury people. At this time, to chase the Huns, no matter how you look at it, it is a little unreliable. They looked at each other, and for a moment they were all silent, except for the campfire whirring in the wind.

Liang Xiao didn't speak, pulled out a knife, cut a piece of meat on the well-roasted sheep, and chewed it slowly. After a while, Linghu stood up and shouted, "My lord, let's give me a few days." ”

Liang Xiaoyang raised the mutton in his hand. "Give you ten days. Within ten days, whoever can figure out a way will be the knife's. ”——
