Two days later, Liang Xiao received an official reply from King Minyue and Liu Ju to accept the peace talks. He also sent envoys to Wu County with Liang Xiao and Wei Qing to invite Yan Zhu to come to Dongye for formal negotiations.

Liang Xiao successfully completed the task and embarked on the return journey.

Along the way, Wei Qing, who had two panda eyes, kept yawning, looking like he was seriously lacking sleep. When Liang Xiao saw it, he was amused and distressed. Zheng Er, this second goods, is really fierce, and he actually made Wei Qing like this. Alas, poor Wei Qing, how should he explain to the princess when he goes back.

It's really hard to say about this Minyue. Later, Minyue was destroyed, could it be because the princess was jealous and stirred up trouble inside? It is said that Wei Qing had three babies before marrying the princess, could it be that this baby was born in the second child?

Liang Xiao was thinking crankily all the way, his thoughts were like ocean waves, and he couldn't stop for a moment.

"Hey, Ah Xiao, what do you want?" There was a coquettish shout overhead. Liang Xiao looked up and saw Liu Ling lying on the railing of the flying house, the white silk curls were puffed up by the sea breeze, whirring, and even the fallen horse's mantle on his head was blown by the wind, dancing wildly with the wind, revealing his slender white neck. Liu Ling narrowed his eyes, hiding the shrewdness in his eyes, but it was a little more mysterious.

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment and forgot to answer.

"Goose!" Liu Ling's face turned crimson when he saw it, and he turned to the cabin. "Come up, I have something to ask you for."

"Oh." Liang Xiao woke up like a dream, answered, and went to the flying house. Wei Qing sat on the deck by himself, watching the birds in the sky fascinated. Liang Xiao entered the cabin and saw Liu Ling spreading out a piece of silk, on which the appearance of several boats was drawn. Liang Xiao glanced at it and couldn't help but secretly praise himself. Liu Ling was not idle when he was helping him with his errands. It is estimated that I have seen all the ships of Dongye. Among them are steeple-bottomed sea vessels.

"Lord Weng. What's the matter? ”

"Is this what you call a sea vessel?"

"It should be."

"Such a broken ship can also enter the sea?" Liu Ling frowned, lifted his cheeks and a trace of messy hair, circled it twice, and wrapped it around his fingers. "I thought they lied to me."

Liang Xiao took a closer look, those boats were very simple, but he could vaguely see a little appearance, and several of them were indeed very simple, as if they were tied together with several wooden planks. No wonder Liu Ling was skeptical.

"Lord, the risks of sailing are indeed high, but the sea is like a naughty boy, there are times when it is naughty, and there are times when it is cute. If the pattern can be found, even such a broken ship can sail thousands of miles. Of course, if the boat is good and can adapt to more bad conditions, it can go further. With the shipbuilding capacity of our big man, we can completely seize the lion's share. ”

Liu Ling held his cheeks. Thoughtfully. She slowly moved her gaze away from the silk and over the window. Looking at the sea level in the distance, the corners of his mouth provoked a light smile.

"That's right. As you said, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. You can't do real learning in the study. ”

"Lord Weng is wise." Liang Xiao habitually offered a sycophant.

"I'll test you a question." Liu Ling stretched out his slender jade finger and pointed to the sea level outside the window. "Have you ever noticed a ship in the distance?"

Liang Xiao understood as soon as he heard it. However, he still looked at Liu Ling quietly. Liu Ling seemed to be thoughtful, a little absent-minded, didn't notice Liang Xiao's expression, and continued: "I suddenly discovered a problem in the past two days. Whether it is a large ship or a small boat, when it appears from a distance, it always seems that the upper part of the ship will appear first, just like the sun and the moon rise. Could it be that these ships, like the sun and the moon, appeared from the sea? ”

Liang Xiao smiled.

"Of course I asked the fishermen, but they couldn't come up with why." Liu Ling retracted his gaze and stared at Liang Xiao. "Do you have a better explanation?"

Liang Xiao smiled even more happily. "He Xi Weng Lord, you finally use your own eyes to understand the Tao, instead of pursuing the Tao from the words of the ancients, in time, the three thousand guests of the Huainan Royal Mansion should all look forward to the Lord Weng."

Liu Ling glared at him, suddenly became angry, and screamed. "Explain to me what's going on, my head is about to burst, don't you see that my eyes are swollen?"

Liang Xiao was stunned. Just now, she was a virtuous and gentle intellectual woman, why did she suddenly become manic. Could it be...... Menstrual period?

Seeing Liang Xiao's surprised appearance, Liu Ling realized his gaffe, raised his hand, and waved it curtly. "Okay, I'm a little upset, not for you. Don't take it personally. ”

Liang Xiao asked cautiously, "Lord Weng...... Annoying what? ”

"I'm ......," Liu Ling bit his lip. To be honest, I originally thought you were perfunctory to me, a trip, just...... If you have nothing to do, you can just verify it, catch the flaws, and laugh at you. But after this trip, I think your suggestion ...... It's a really good choice. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Unfortunately, this good choice is just my opinion. I don't know what my father will think. I...... I don't know if I can convince him. Everyone knows that we should broaden our horizons and take precautions, but how many people can really give up their immediate interests? I...... I can't afford to sit out and watch them doom. ”

Liang Xiao was silent. He didn't know how to persuade Liu Ling. Liu Ling is a smart person, and she should be clear about the stakes. It's just clear that if you can do what she wants, sometimes it's really uncertain.

"I'm about to arrive at the mouth of Songjiang, I'll go back to Huainan directly, and I won't send you to Wu County. You are careful and strict. Liu Ling pondered for a moment, and then said, "There is another thing I want to remind you. Your master...... There may be a desire to die. ”

Liang Xiao was taken aback. "What?"

"I can't say why, I just feel this way. The next time you go to Dongye, get in touch with him more and see what's going on. I hope I'm wrong. ”

Liang Xiao was flustered and agreed repeatedly. Does Huan Yuan have the heart to die? If you live well, why do you want to die? However, he believed that Liu Ling judged in this regard. He has been in this era for more than a year, and he looks no different from the people of this era, but from the bottom of his heart, he has not really integrated into this era, and it is not difficult to understand the inner thoughts of people in this era.

At least in his opinion, Huan Yuan shouldn't have any desire to die at all.

"Okay, tell me what you think of this situation on the seagoing ship, right?"

"Whoa." Liang Xiao didn't have the heart to sell Guan Zi with Liu Ling again, poured beans into the bamboo tube, and said the truth that the earth is round, supplemented by evidence of a lunar eclipse. Liu Ling was dumbfounded when he heard this, staring at Liang Xiao for a long time without reacting. Liang Xiao didn't notice it, and stayed aside alone after speaking, racking his brains to recall all the details of his meeting with Huan Yuan.

Finally, a phrase came to his mind. Huan Yuan once said that perhaps God's purpose in letting him live so far was to let him pass on these secret skills to him. Now that all the secret techniques have been passed down to him, and his mission is accomplished, will he still survive?

Thinking of this, Liang Xiao immediately went to Liu Ling. Liu Ling smiled and said, "It's not slow, you reacted before you arrived in Wu County." ”

Liang Xiao was embarrassed.

A few days later, the boat arrived at the mouth of the Songjiang River, Liu Ling continued to travel north along the coastline, Liang Xiao and others went ashore and galloped in the direction of Wu County. Something happened in his heart, Liang Xiao refused to delay even a little time on the road, he urged the envoy of Minyue to hurry all the way, and it only took one day to rush to Wu County, and stood in front of Yan Zhu in the moonlight.

Seeing that Liang Xiao completed the task and returned safely, Yan Zhu didn't say anything. He has received an edict from the Son of Heaven and agreed to make Liu Ju the marquis, but it is not the Marquis of Wu that Liu Ju wants, but the Marquis of Lou. Lou County is on the edge of Wu County, which probably means nearby surveillance.

Liang Xiao can't manage so many things. In his opinion, it's good if the negotiation can't be negotiated now, Liu Ju hasn't settled down for a day, and Huan Yuan can't let go for a day. Liu Ju settled down, but Huan Yuan was in danger. He only cares about Huan Yuan's life and death, what Liu Ju is for, and he is a bird.

Yan Zhu was also in a hurry, cleaned up a little, and immediately arranged a building boat from Dou Qufei to rush to Dongye again. Liang Xiao didn't want to worry about Yan Zhu's affairs, but now he also wanted to rush to Dongye as soon as possible, so he suggested that Yan Zhu add a few sails to the building boat, and dismantle part of the flying house of the building ship to lower the center of gravity as much as possible. He didn't want to drown in the sea with Yan Suke.

With Wei Qing on the side to testify, Yan Zhu did not doubt whether Liang Xiao's method was effective. Dou Qufei arranged for craftsmen to install three masts on the building ship and install large and small three-sided sails, and the sailboat was officially born in the Han Dynasty.

The effect of this kind of sail is stronger than the temporary sail made by Liu Ling, most of the time, the building boat does not need people to paddle, only the wind is calm, and there is no wind at all on the sea, so it needs to be pushed by manpower.

Three days later, they rushed to Dongye.

Naturally, Yan Zhu is responsible for the negotiation, and Liang Xiao can't worry about it. He found an opportunity and rushed to Huanyuan's mansion.

Huan Yuan looked calm, there was no sign of seeking death and life, but his eyes were a little cold. Seeing Liang Xiao come to the door again, he was very happy and asked about Liang Xiao's sword practice. Liang Xiao thought of a lot of ideas along the way, and finally thought of swordsmanship. Seeing Huan Yuan ask, he took out his bag and spread it in front of Huan Yuan, looking helpless.

"Master, I don't know these words, how can I practice?"

"You don't recognize these words?" Huan Yuan was taken aback.

Liang Xiao said confidently: "Of course I don't know, it's all ancient texts, how can I recognize it." I haven't recognized the whole text yet, and you still let me recognize the ancient text. Master, don't you want to pass on the swordsmanship to me, and you are afraid that I will say that you are hiding your secrets, so you deliberately gave me this incomprehensible swordsmanship. ”

"Little shaft, what are you talking about?!" Zhong Li was on fire, regardless of Huan Yuan's side, he rushed over, and raised his hand to fight.

Huan Yuan stopped Zhong Liqi. "You didn't ask Lord Huainan, she is very knowledgeable, she must be able to understand these words."

"You said it's a secret, how can I show her casually." Liang Xiao continued to mess around. "Master, no, I still have to teach me, I'm afraid that I will practice wrong, and when the time comes, the swordsmanship will not be practiced, and even the archery will be wasted."

Looking at Liang Xiao, who was wanton and naughty, Huan Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, but there was a little more warmth in his eyes.

"It's okay, you stay in Dongye for a few more days, and I'll help you build the foundation." ——
