Nie Yi got up to see off the guests, and an old servant led Liang Xiao to rest. Walking a stone's throw along the long alley, across the courtyard wall, Liang Xiao heard a tempting wheezing sound. He looked up, glanced at the crescent moon that had just climbed the wall, and sighed to himself.

These shameless guys, just in such a hurry? It's just dark and roaring at work, it's really not reserved at all.

Liang Xiao walked into the small courtyard, passed through a pavilion, and came to the main house sitting in the north. The old servant stopped, and as soon as the curtain rang, two delicate-looking and slender orchids came out from inside, bowed to Liang Xiaoyingying, walked up, and sandwiched Liang Xiao in the middle. The aroma fills the nose and suddenly makes people's blood churn.

Liang Xiao sniffed and gently pulled his arm out. The two orchids were stunned, and their faces showed uneasiness. The old servant stepped forward and asked, "If Liang Jun doesn't like Hu Nu, he can also change to a Han girl." ”

Liang Xiao smiled. "That's not what I mean, old man. These two beauties are extremely cute, but I am studying archery at a critical juncture recently, so I should not get too close to women. Old man, do you know where my companion Xie Guanglong is? ”

The corners of the old servant's mouth were slightly raised. "Yes."

"Well, please let the old man bring these two beauties over, and say that I will reward him."

The old servant blinked, but said nothing, and waved his hand at the orchid. The two orchids were a little disappointed, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to look at Liang Xiao with resentment, turned around and walked along the corridor to a room in the southeast corner. In the whole courtyard, the room was the loudest.

"Wait." Liang Xiao had an idea and stopped the two orchids. Orchid turned her head, her eyes showing a hint of delight. Liang Xiao said with a smile: "This strong man has made great contributions this time. Please keep the two girls with him. Liang must have a heavy thanks. ”

The orchids glanced at each other. He smiled embarrassedly and covered his lips, nodded, and turned away.

The old servant looked at Liang Xiao quietly, and when Liang Xiao turned around, he said, "Please wait for Liang Jun, and the old slave will pick two more ......."

"I really don't need to." Liang Xiao repeatedly declined. Seeing that he was resolute, the old servant did not insist any longer, and arched his hand. Turned around and walked away. Liang Xiao entered the house, took off his coat, and said to Tu Niu'er: "Okay, you can also go and have fun with you, you don't have to accompany me." ”

Tuniu'er was a little twisted. "But what do you do?"

"I'm safe here, you don't have to worry. I'll call you something. Liang Xiao waved his hand and drove out Tuniu'er, who had been impatient for a long time. With Tu Niu'er's character, it is already commendable that he can endure it until now.

The cow is overjoyed. I went in a hurry, walked two steps and turned back. Put the caliber short knife in front of Liang Xiao. "Ah Xiao, you keep this for self-defense."

Liang Xiao nodded. Tuniu'er grinned and went happily.

Liang Xiao closed the door, stretched his body, and began his daily practice. Just like when he first practiced shooting with Huan Yuan, he now practices his right shooting skills every day, hoping to practice his right shooting as well as his left shooting. He knows the importance of laying a foundation, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy about building a foundation at all.

Even though the small courtyard was full of spring, even if there was a sound of panting in his ears, Liang Xiao still tried his best to focus his attention on the operation of qi and blood. He knows very well what kind of danger he is facing, and at this time, the stronger his strength, the better the chance of success. If he can make great achievements before the Han counterattack on the Xiongnu, his future will be bright, and what kind of beauties will not be there at that time, why waste precious time for a few orchids.

Liang Xiao meticulously practiced drawing the bow.

In the past, when he practiced left shooting, he felt that everything was normal, but now that he is practicing right shooting, he realizes that his qi and blood flow is not balanced on both sides of his body. However, with the previous foundation, the progress of practicing is much faster now, and it didn't take long for him to forget himself and enter the realm of the unity of man and bow.

――

Nie Yi stood under the porch, looking in the direction of the small courtyard, silent.

He squinted his eyes slightly, his hands arched in his sleeves were tightly clasped together, and there was some indescribable nervousness in his eyes.

He's going to make a big decision.

The cronies and old servants reported that Liang Xiao rejected the two beautiful orchids and stayed in the house alone to practice. He was very surprised, at such an age, after experiencing thousands of miles of death, Liang Xiao didn't feel that life was too short and should be happy in time?

This concentration is terrible. Nie Yi asked himself to be well-informed, and he had never seen a few people with such determination, and the people with such determination were all people who had been through the wind and frost for a long time and had lived and died several times. is as young as Liang Xiao, this is the only case.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Guo Wenbin followed the old servant in. Nie Yi changed his expression in an instant, pulled his hand out of his sleeve, and greeted him warmly. With a flick of his finger inadvertently, the old servant understood, stood still at the door, and quietly closed the door.

Guo Wenbin tilted his head, smiled slightly, pretended not to see it, and bowed his hand to Nie Yi. Nie Yi stretched out his hand to support his arm, led him into the room, and said with a smile: "Ling Zun is really a great man with vision, and he made such a choice just by virtue of one side. I'm really ashamed of this vision and courage. With the help of this Liang Jun, it must be easy for your family to settle in Chang'an. ”

Guo Wenbin shook his head and said with a smile: "Nie Weng has won the prize." My father didn't expect Liang Jun to have such an ability at that time, but he was just excited about righteousness and wanted to help them. ”

"Your help is crucial. Without you as a guide, how could they come to Dawan? ”

Guo Wenbin pondered for a moment and said, "I do have some credit for being able to go to Dawan smoothly. has been able to live until now, but it is due to Liang Xiao's own ability. Nie Weng, who was able to survive the pursuit of thousands of elite Huns, and also beheaded the head of the Hun Evil King, this is not something I can help. ”

Nie Yi smiled. "Wen Bin, this is the first time I've heard you respect people so much, and it's a person of your age."

"I've always admired Nie Weng." Guo Wenbin smiled faintly, not rude, but also conceited as a young man.

Nie Yi laughed, made two jokes with Guo Wenbin, changed the conversation, and said, "Then why did you bring them to me?" It doesn't just want to eat and drink, right? Do you still want to borrow some money? Say, borrow as much as you want. ”

Guo Wenbin was stunned. During the banquet, Liang Xiao once asked Nie Yi for help, but now Nie Yi asked him how much money he wanted to borrow, and he obviously refused to help Liang Xiao, so he was only willing to lend him money. Guo Wenbin hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"Three thousand gold."

Nie Yi frowned slightly, revealing a little embarrassment. "Three thousand gold is not a small amount, even if your father comes to borrow it, I have to consider it carefully. Wen Bin, are you too risky? If you lose, can you afford it? ”

"Nie Weng, I also know that the risk is high, but the risk also means the benefit is large. I'm just afraid that Nie Weng won't want to, so I said three thousand gold. Actually, I wanted to borrow 10,000 gold. ”

Nie Yi looked at Guo Wenbin in surprise. "Good boy, you have a lot of appetite."

Guo Wenbin smiled. "Nie Weng, three thousand gold is indeed not a small amount. However, if my father were here, he would definitely support my decision, and even invest more. ”

Nie Yi looked at Guo Wenbin for a long time and laughed silently. He knows Guo Wenbin very well, although he is young, he has a lot of vision, and in another twenty or thirty years, he is likely to succeed Guo Yu and become the head of the Guo family. Such a young junior attaches so much importance to Liang Xiao and is willing to invest heavily in it, which must have strong confidence in Liang Xiao himself.

"Tell me, why can this Liang Xiao make you value it so much, and you are willing to make such a big gamble. If you convince me, I will lend it to you, otherwise, you will not get a single money. ”

Guo Wenbin was helpless. The Guo family intends to settle in Chang'an, and most of their assets have been withdrawn. If he wants to support Liang Xiao to continue, he can only ask Nie Yi for a loan. This is not a small amount of money, and there is not enough reason to convince Nie Yi to lend him the money.

Guo Wenbin told the story of more than two months in detail. He talked about how Liang Xiao killed Gulu Fox, and how he gave up everything, and hurried day and night, dragging the elite cavalry of the Hun Evil King to exhaustion, and finally lured the Hun Evil King up the mountain, and used the Han army's infantry advantage to kill the Hun Evil King in one fell swoop.

In the middle, he especially mentioned Liang Xiao's perseverance. No matter how critical the situation is, he will not lose faith. No matter how great the temptation is, he will not lose himself. Even between life and death, he has been insisting on honing his archery.

Nie Yi listened intently, and asked a few questions from time to time. Through Guo Wenbin's narration, his understanding of Liang Xiao has deepened.

He somewhat understood why Wang Hui would choose such a young man who seemed a little reckless to take on this important task.

"So it's worth the gamble." Nie Yi smiled and said: "Wen Bin, I believe in your vision, I will lend you three thousand gold." ”

"Thank you Nie Yi for your generosity. I will make a note, if there is a secret, Nie Weng will go to Yanmen with the note, and my father will definitely pay it off with interest. ”

Nie Yi smiled, turned around and took pen and ink, and asked Guo Wenbin to write down the loan note. Guo Wenbin waved it, handed it to Nie Yi for a look, put it into the green bag, took out his private seal, and stamped it on the sealing mud.

Nie Yi put away the green bag and smiled slightly: "You just said that you want to borrow 10,000 gold, is 10,000 gold enough?" ”

After borrowing money, Guo Wenbin was much more relaxed. "It should be enough."

"Okay, the remaining 7,000 gold, count it as my investment."

Guo Wenbin was stunned, and Huo Ran raised his head. Nie Yi looked at him with a smile. The corners of Guo Wenbin's mouth twitched for a long time, and he stretched out his hand to point at Nie Yi. "Nie Weng, you're a bit disrespectful."

"Hahaha, it's better to be careful when doing business." Nie Yi turned around from behind the case, affectionately hugged Guo Wenbin's shoulder, and patted him hard. "Wen Bin, if you win the bet, I owe you a favor, and I will give you a generous gift, how about it? Wen Bin, Yuan'er has been thinking about you, how about it, are you interested in being my Nie family's son-in-law? ”――
