Next to the bonfire, Liang Xiao sat cross-legged, and Ayana and Doros sat on both sides. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 While drinking wine, they cut slices of meat from the golden-roasted sheep and put them in their mouths, chewing them slowly.

The fine-wool sheep unique to the Ili River Valley are not only fine wool, but also very tender. The shepherds are usually reluctant to eat, but Liang Xiao and others came, and they slaughtered thousands at once, welcome the allied warriors who came here.

Doros ate with a mouth full of oil, and even his fingers were covered with grease. He licked his fingers and praised: "General, I now find that your most powerful thing is not your bow and arrow, but your words. Your arrows can still be guarded, but your words can't be guarded. ”

Ayana smiled, picked up a piece of dough, wiped the grease off the knife, stuffed the dough into her mouth, and took a big bite. His words are indeed sharp, but what is even sharper is his eyes. Now we can advance or retreat, but the hunt for arrogance has been forced to a dead end. ”

"Hunting arrogance?" Doros suddenly came to his senses. "By the way, I was about to ask you about this, why didn't you kill Hunter Jiaomi?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Doros and laughed: "The time is too rushed, and the troops are not enough, I can't kill him, so I have to pretend to be a good person and let him live first." Dalu, you are experienced, you analyze, next, what kind of arrangements will the Right Xian King and Hunt Jiaomi have, and how should we deal with it? ”

Ayana chewed the bread and pondered for a long time. "The Wusun people have been scattered, and there is no ten days and a half months, and it may be difficult for the hunters to recover, and only the Huns can go into battle. Even so, they still have the advantage in troops, at least twice as many as ours, and it is not appropriate for us to take the initiative to attack. ”

"Twice as bad as an offense?" Doros disagreed. "When we were hunting, he was more than twice as strong as we were. Besides, the longer you wait, the more you will regain your strength, and won't you have more troops? ”

Athana shook her head. "Then they have to have enough food. The arrogant hunters and horses were defeated, and most of the losses he brought were lost, and now he has to rely on the Huns to help, how can he recover so easily. The longer they wait, the greater the difficulties they face. So...... I think the next few days will be the most dangerous. ”

Doros suddenly realized, touched his head, and laughed.

Ah Xiana looked at Liang Xiao. "Has the general thought of a countermeasure?"

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly twice. "What Da Lu said is very true, and I think so too. The Huns are coming, two days at most, and the battle is about to begin. The Cypriots have been hunted with the burden of arrogance, and now they have no food and clothing, and they have no motivation to fight, and we must let them see the ferocity of the Huns, so as to arouse their desire to fight, but this cannot be achieved in two or three days. ”

"So what to do?" Ayana thought for a moment and rolled her eyes. "Or do you want to rob them all?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Ah Xian in surprise and couldn't help laughing. "I was really surprised that such words came out of Dalu's mouth."

Ashana smiled too. He waved his hand. "Just kidding, if you really want to rob them, I'm afraid their knives are not aimed at the Huns, but they will have to aim at us first. However, these Cypriots are short-sighted, and the little baggage of the Wusun people satisfies them, which is really useless, no wonder they are hunted arrogantly as two-legged sheep. ”

"They have little knowledge, and a lot of people have never left this valley in their lives, which is a good thing and a bad thing. They hate the Usun people because they have been oppressing them. The Huns rarely appear here, and they have not yet learned the brutality of the Huns, so it will take time for them to see the Huns clearly. I think it won't take a few days for them to know that the Huns are even more hateful than the Usun. The key is how we can get through these few days. ”

"That's right, here's the problem, how are we going to survive these few days?"

Liang Xiao twisted his fingers. "Perhaps, I should talk to the Right Virtuous King."

"Talk...... Talk? Doros was stunned, muttering on a piece of meat, looking at Liang Xiao, and then at Ajuna. Liang Xiao and Ah Xiana exchanged a knowing look, and no one paid attention to Doros. Doros was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and hurriedly begged. "Tell me, tell me, what do you want to talk to King Youxian?"

Liang Xiao said angrily: "How to talk about it, of course, you talk with your tongue." ”

Doros stuck out his tongue, indicating incomprehension.

Liang Xiao and Ah Xiana laughed, joked with Doros for a while, and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. Since you want to send lobbyists to disrupt the plan of action of the Right Sage King, you must hit the key points, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve practical results.

The night before yesterday, Liang Xiao opened his mind to the pro-guard tribe around him, got a lot of inspiration, and tasted the sweetness, and now he is more willing to discuss with others, especially an experienced minister like Axiana. He needs not only the understanding and cooperation of Ashana, but also his wisdom.

The two talked happily, but Doros listened drowsily, and at some point, he fell headlong and snored loudly.

After talking to Ah Xiana for half the night, Liang Xiao didn't sleep, he got up as usual to practice the channeling technique.

After several years of perseverance, the channeling technique has been integrated into his blood, and if he doesn't practice one day, he will feel uncomfortable all over his body, as if he always feels that something is lacking. No matter how much pressure there is, once he puts on a posture, he can leave everything behind and enter the realm of forgetting about things and self.

It was the only time he had that belonged entirely to him, and he cherished it all.

With the drills again and again, the heat flowed like a tide, washing his body again and again, washing away the exhaustion of his body, and moisturizing every inch of meridians and flesh and blood. His breathing became deeper and deeper, his eyes became clearer and clearer, his bearing became more and more calm, and his whole person exuded a kind of confidence that made people worship.

The guards on duty looked at him from afar, their eyes adoring and full of confidence.

――

Chang'an, the champion Hou Mansion.

Liu Ling was clothed, lying on the desk, his fingers drawing a silk map, and finally landed in the Ili River Valley, and did not leave for a long time.

On the map in front of her, the Ili River Valley was a blank slate. Liang Yu also put on his clothes, walked over, and looked at Liu Ling, a little puzzled. "Master Weng, what's the problem here?"

"I don't know." Liu Ling withdrew his fingers and stroked the corners of his mouth. "I have a feeling that your brother might be here right now."

"Here?" Liang Yu glanced at the map and couldn't help but chuckle: "Brother gave you a dream?" ”

"He now has Princess Dawan by his side, where can he take care of my dreams." Liu Ling pursed his lips.

"Princess Dawan will follow him to the battlefield?" Liang Yu sat down next to Liu Ling and helped her pull up the slippery coat. "Okay, you don't have to worry. Thousands of miles away, it's useless for you to worry, it's better to wait for good news with peace of mind. ”

Liu Ling stood up, got on the bed, and sat on the quilt. Liang Yu got on the bed and sat beside her, arching her with his shoulders. "Still thinking?"

"Well, I'm still a little worried." Liu Ling pondered for a moment, and then said, "How is the mood of the Son of Heaven recently, is there anything unusual?" ”

Liang Yu's face was slightly red. "The Son of Heaven is deep in thought, and I don't see any flaws. However, he often sighed and rarely mentioned the war in the Western Regions. Several times, he had just opened his mouth and then gave up again, as if he was worried. ”

"What else can I worry about, it's nothing more than that I want your brother to take the Western Regions, and I'm afraid that your brother won't be able to lose his tail and embarrass him."

"Brother...... Will it do so? ”

"I don't know." Liu Ling shook his head and sighed lightly: "Actually, I don't want to hear any news of a great victory. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. Your brother is not a person who can hide clumsy, the Son of Heaven is so jealous of him, if it weren't for the emergency situation in the Western Regions, how could the Son of Heaven let him out of Chang'an. Now that you're out, don't come back. ”

Liang Yu looked at Liu Ling secretly. "Brother doesn't come back, what will you do?"

Liu Ling smiled indifferently. "What else can I do, be my rich prisoner. Although thousands of miles apart, it is better than being prisoners together. Zhuangzi said well, it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and this is the case with me and your brother. ”

Liang Yu sighed, clasped his legs in his hands, and rested his chin on his knees. "Actually...... They are all unborn heroes, but unfortunately their ideas are too different, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to die well in the end. Lord Weng, I am actually as worried as you, both afraid that the war will be unfavorable and that the war will be too smooth. The day my brother returned to Beijing may be the day they broke up. ”

Liu Ling turned his head. "You see that, too?"

"I don't have any other skills, but I still have a little bit of the ability to look at faces. The Son of Heaven is troubled, doesn't he just don't know what to do with his brother. Brother has the ability to use soldiers, which is a rare magic weapon, but for the Son of Heaven, he always feels powerless, always afraid that he will hurt himself, and he doesn't dare to use it if he wants to, which is really tormenting. ”

"What do you think?"

"Me?" Liang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "If Lord Weng is in the position of the Son of Heaven, what should he do?" ”

Liu Ling was slightly stunned, glanced at Liang Yu, and crooked the corners of his mouth. "I could see that someone was moved, and his elbow began to turn outward."

Liang Yu blushed, pushed Liu Ling embarrassedly, and said angrily: "Lord Weng, look at what you said, if I turn my elbow out, can I forget the kindness of my brother and your reconstruction?" Actually......" she thought as she tilted her head. "I pity him."

"Pity him?"

"Yes, do you think, there are so many women around him, how can one of them be for his sake? Even the queen mother, who is a flesh-and-blood relative, is just for the sake of the wealth of the Tian family and the Wang family, and often quarrels with him over some inexplicable things. It's like this in the palace, and it's almost the same outside the palace, those ministers say it beautifully, but why not for their own future? ”

Liu Ling blinked. "Not exactly, at least not your brother."

Liang Yu was silent.

"If it's just for the sake of wealth, your brother is the champion marquis, and you have thousands of households, so why do you want to go on an expedition to the Western Regions?"

"So what does Brother think?"

Liu Ling turned his head and stared at Liang Yu, his eyes gradually becoming stern. Liang Yu was seen by her as weak-hearted, avoided her eyes, pursed his lips, and said nothing. Liu Ling took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, and suddenly chuckled. "The Son of Heaven really has good means, not only against you, but also to test our minds in turn."

"No ......"

Liu Ling raised his hand, stopped the panicked Liang Yu, and said with a smile: "Wen Ji, you don't have to be nervous, others can't understand you, I can understand you." In the face of the Son of Heaven, few people can stop his offensive. It's normal for you to be moved by him. ”

Liang Yu was embarrassed. "Lord Weng, you really ...... Don't blame me? ”

"Blame you for what you do, you are not the first and not the last person who is trapped by love." Liu Ling stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Liang Yu's shoulder and shook it gently. "Congratulations sister, you finally have someone who can make you feel tempted. In this way, I am also relieved. ”

Liang Yu was relieved. "What are you relieved of?"

"Don't worry, you have a belonging, and you won't be a threat to me." Liu Ling chuckled. "You think I don't know that you have thoughts about your brother, but it's just that because of the status of brother and sister, it's hard to mention. You are willing to accept this task, and you also want to contribute to your brother. ”

Liang Yu's face turned red suddenly, and he wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Actually, I also persuaded your brother to ask him to simply accept you as a concubine, but he refused, for fear of wronging you."

"Master Weng, how can this be done, we have the same surname. The same surname is not married. ”

"Not married with the same surname?" Liu Ling wrinkled his nose. "Your brother is from his mother's surname, who knows what he should be? Anyway, it can't be surnamed Liang, what are you with the same surname. Do you don't know it yourself, or do you think I don't know? ”

"Uh-" Liang Yu was speechless, then covered his mouth and laughed, squinted at Liu Ling, and said, "Lord Weng, did you really persuade my brother?" ”

"Is this still a lie to you?" Liu Ling glanced at her, and then he came to his senses again, reaching out and gently twisting the tip of Liang Yu's nose. "Okay, you actually suspect me, I need to lie to you? Even if there is no you, I am not the only one by your brother's side, I can stop you, I can stop others, and I can stop Princess Dawan thousands of miles away? ”

Liang Yujiao smiled and begged for mercy again and again. The two laughed for a while, and Liang Yu sighed. "Why can a man have a group of wives and concubines, but we women can only marry one person, it's really unfair. In my opinion, men and women should be the same, men are only allowed to marry one woman as a wife, and women are only allowed to marry one man as their husband, monogamy, just like the way of one yin and one yang. ”

"Wait." Liu Ling suddenly thought of something, and stretched out his hand to signal Liang Yu not to speak. Liang Yu hurriedly closed his mouth and looked at Liu Ling. Liu Ling thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "I seem to have heard your brother say that there is a place like this, monogamy, men are not allowed to take concubines, and they end up like women." ”

"Yes, why haven't I heard from my brother?"

"Hee-hee, of course you haven't heard of it." Liu Ling's eyebrows raised. "He was drunk and said it in a dream. When he woke up, I asked him again, but he pretended to be drunk. Now it seems that it is not just a matter of drunken talk. ”

Liang Yu's eyes also lit up. "Could it be...... Is there such a world? ”

Liu Ling rolled his eyes, smiled but did not speak, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Thousands of miles away, Liang Xiao, who had just finished practicing the channeling technique, suddenly shuddered.
