Chapter 366: Treasure Sword
Liang Xiao understood the old lady's worries, and suddenly there were nearly 100 more people, and all of them were martial artists with a lot of food, and only three meals a day was a big expense, and it was impossible to cope with the Liang family's 100 acres of fertile land alone.
Farming alone can't feed a few people.
Liang Xiao had to think about the most basic life issues. Although he felt that it was unlikely that the Son of Heaven would treat him like Li Guang, it was uncertain when he would be able to seal the marquis and how many households he would have. Before the real fiefdom is in hand, he still has to fight for rice grain.
Liang Xiao asked about his family background, and then he knew that before Dongfang Shuo left, he left a thousand gold. He smiled. Dongfang Shuo did this to solve his worries. Otherwise, after severing the cooperative relationship with the Huainan Palace, the Liang family really has no ability to resist risks, and if there is a slight change, the old lady will only have one way to sell her house and land.
In addition to the 1,000 gold, the Liang family now has some jade and jewelry, which they brought back from the Western Regions twice. Liang Xiao didn't count how much it was worth, and Liang Yuan couldn't say for sure, so he still needed to ask Guo Wenbin and his son. According to Liang Yuan, the Guo family father and son are now well-known treasure merchants in Chang'an City, and their business is very large.
After calculating the family background, Liang Yuan said that if he can be a marquis and have food, at least there will be no problem with eating, and what he has to worry about is weapons and equipment, horses and pocket money, and there is also a big expense that is the cost of settling in. With so many men, if you live for a long time, you must solve your personal problems, otherwise it is not a long-term solution.
In a word, Liang Xiao not only needs a lot of money, but also a stable source of income.
"If you are a marquis, not only do you not have to pay taxes, but you don't have to bear the burden of forced labor. There is also tax income. The problem of food can be solved. Other than that. My family can also build some looms and build a weaving mill. The lord of Huainan Weng has moved all the looms back to Huainan, and double-sided brocade is still very popular in Chang'an. ”
"Why did she move the loom back to Huainan?" Liang Xiao was very puzzled. "There are many powerful people in Chang'an, and the market is the largest, so why bother to travel thousands of miles from Huainan."
"Who knows." Liang Yuan was also very puzzled. She looked a little nostalgic. "Speaking of which, Lord Huainan Weng hasn't been here for a long time. The last time I came, it was when Guo Wenbin and the others had just returned from the Western Regions. ”
Liang Xiao frowned and said nothing.
Liang Yuan thought for a while. Back to her primary concern. "Xiao'er, you say, can you be a marquis this time?"
"I really don't know." Liang Xiao shook his head. "Heaven is unpredictable, who can guess for sure. However, I don't think it's a big problem. ”
"That's good, that's good." Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "If it is really a marquis, I want to go back to Guangling with Rongqing, go to her father's grave, make a wish, and then go to see the villagers in Qingyun."
Liang Xiao smiled. "Mother. You're too anxious, aren't you? ”
Liang Yuan also smiled. "Xiao'er, you don't know. My mother waited for this day, but she waited too long. ”
Liang Xiao smacked his lips and didn't say anything more.
Lunch didn't catch up, dinner was Liang Xiao's first meal after returning home, Liang Yuan asked Li Rongqing and Tuhua to prepare a good meal, and set up a sumptuous banquet. Not only did the family sit together for a reunion dinner, but also let the mercenaries and young knights participate together. More than 100 people sat together, and the courtyard was crowded, and the atmosphere was warm.
After the banquet, Liang Xiao came to Huanyuan's room with tea. Huan Yuan sat on the couch and watched Liang Xiao enter the door with burning eyes and serve tea.
"Sit!"
"Master Xie." Liang Xiao sat down on the side and looked Huan Yuan up and down. "The master is in good spirits, congratulations." He turned around and took out a gold-inlaid jade Uzi treasure knife from Alpha's hand, motioned for Alpha to go out first, and turned around and put the treasure knife in front of Huan Yuan.
"Master, this is the treasure knife of the Western Regions, specially brought back to honor the master."
Huan Yuan put down the cup, picked up the treasure knife, pulled out half of it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "In the wilderness of the Western Regions, there is such a good sword?"
"Who said that the Western Regions are a wild place." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "The master can go and see it when he has the opportunity in the future, and he will know that the rumors may not be credible." ”
Huan Yuan glanced at Liang Xiao and smiled without saying a word. Liang Xiao said again: "Master, look at those kids, do they have acceptable qualifications?" ”
Huan Yuan shook his head. "It's almost impossible to improve, but to be like you. One is that they are too old, and the other is that their minds have already been formed, and it is impossible for them to practice without distractions like you. What about you, have you had any problems lately? I see that your progress is not small. ”
"I didn't encounter any new problems, but after practicing left and right double ejaculation, I felt very different, as if I had repaired the meridians of my legs."
"Legs?" Huan Yuan was surprised. "You've repaired the meridians of your legs?"
Liang Xiao was a little surprised. "Yes, every time I practice shooting, there is a hot current in the center of my feet, along the inner thighs all the way to the waist. Master, isn't that right? ”
Huan Yuan stared at Liang Xiao for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Boy, you gave me another surprise." I think back then, I practiced until I felt the feeling in the center of my feet, it was after three years of practicing shooting, and it took another five years to wait for the heat to flow to my waist. It's not easy for you to do this after three years of shooting. It seems that God gave you these ape arms by accident, you were born to be a material for a sound shooter. ”
Liang Xiao thought of Sigma again, and his eyes darkened. He is a two-life human being, and he knows that there is no other way out except to practice shooting, so he can only go all out. If there was another choice, he would certainly not be so desperate. Sigma is different, she really likes archery, and she practices hard and spontaneously. If Huan Yuan saw her, maybe he wouldn't say that he was a natural voice shooter.
Liang Xiao shook his head, driving the sadness out of his mind. "Master, I think it may have something to do with left and right double shooting."
Huan Yuan stared at him. "How does it matter?"
"Now that I think about it, the time when I made the most progress was when I started practicing left and right double shots. I think that the left and right double shots can balance yin and yang, which is of great benefit to improving the realm. ”
Huan Yuan thought for a while, and he nodded. "There's some truth to your conjecture. In fact, empty-handed practice of shooting itself has the role of guidance. Only practice left shooting, not right shooting, and do not match the guidance, left and right double shooting is in line with the habit of guidance. Health practitioners often say that solitary yin does not grow, solitary yang does not grow, and this practice is probably the same. ”
The master and apprentice talked for a long time before Liang Xiao withdrew. When I returned to my room, it was already clean. Hu Jiyue sat on the edge of the bed, bowed her head, and waited for Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao was a little embarrassed and couldn't find anything to say for a while. When the moon heard the footsteps, she quickly stood up and brought water for washing to wait for Liang Xiao. When Liang Xiao got into bed, she took the water again and hid it in the corner to wash it. Listening to the sound of rushing water, Liang Xiao suddenly felt that the moon, who was once a Xiongnu nobleman, was now no different from an ordinary Han woman.
"Are you still used to living in Chang'an?"
"Huh?" The moon raised her head in the corner and looked at Liang Xiao puzzled.
Liang Xiao raised his voice. "I said, are you used to living in Chang'an?"
"Hmm......" Moon tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I was a little unaccustomed at first, but then it got better." Changan...... Anything is fine, but you can't just ride a horse. ”
Liang Xiao smiled. "I'll take you for a horseback ride tomorrow, okay?"
"Really?" The moon was overjoyed.
"What are you lying about?" Liang Xiao hugged the quilt and lay down, looking at the moon as happy as a child, and suddenly remembered that although she already had a child, she was actually not very old. In his previous life, he was just a high school student.
After the moon was washed, he took off his clothes, climbed onto the kang, got into the quilt, and lay on Liang Xiao's chest. "Tomorrow...... Really take me for a horseback ride? ”
"Of course." Liang Xiao reached out and put his arm around the moon's shoulder. "I'm sorry, I killed that horse of yours, can I accompany you with a Dawan horse?"
The moon turned over and straddled Liang Xiao's body, supporting Liang Xiao's chest with both hands, and his white face was red and hot, as delicate as a peach blossom in March. "I don't want any big Wanma now, I only want you now. My mother wants a grandson, and I have to seize the opportunity. ”
Looking at the white and flawless body of the moon, Liang Xiao suddenly had a feeling of being in the mouth of a tiger.
This night, Liang Xiao once again dreamed of the white horse named the moon, galloping freely on the endless grassland.
——
The Son of Heaven held the candle flame and looked at Huo Qu's red and swollen buttocks, and was taken aback.
"How?"
Huo Quzhi lifted his pants, sniffed, and drooped his head. "Liang ...... Liang Duwei. ”
"Bold!" The Son of Heaven was furious. "Why did he hit you?"
Huo Quai's illness squeaked and refused to speak. The Son of Heaven was even more annoyed, and turned around to let Xuan Liang Xiao enter the palace. Huo Quzhi grabbed the sleeve of the Son of Heaven and said continuously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't blame Liang Xiao, it's my fault." ”
"Your fault?" The Son of Heaven was amazed. Huo Qu's illness has not been by his side for a day or two, and he knows what kind of temper he has. Don't look at others as small, but very conceited, it is not easy to make him admit his mistakes. Now that he was beaten by Liang Xiao, he didn't hate Liang Xiao, but admitted that it was his fault, which was the first time in the world.
"What the hell is going on?"
Huo Qu couldn't survive the Son of Heaven's questioning, so he had to tell what happened. When the Son of Heaven heard this, he knew that Liang Xiao and Li Guang went hunting that night, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were also present. He hurriedly called Wei Qing over and asked in detail about the whole thing.
After listening to Wei Qing's narration, the Son of Heaven was silent in thought, his eyes flashing. Huo Qu timidly pulled the sleeve of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, can I become Your Majesty's sword like General Li and Captain Liang?"
The Son of Heaven touched Huo Quai's head and raised his eyebrows. "Absolutely. You will not only be my sword, but also the sharpest one. If you are sick, you have to work hard to surpass General Li and Captain Liang in the future. ”
"Hmm!" Huo Quzhi nodded vigorously, rolled his eyes, and gritted his teeth again: "One day, I must beat him up." ”
The Son of Heaven couldn't help laughing, turned his head and said to Wei Qing again: "Go to Maoling tomorrow, Xuanliang Xiao will enter the palace." ”——
