Liang Xiao was stunned for a long time before carefully pushing away the beta and getting out of bed.

The tent door knocked softly, and Sigma's little head poked in, glanced at Liang Xiao, and smiled. "The master is awake?"

Liang Xiao nodded a little embarrassed. "What time is it?"

"It's almost dawn." Sigma walked in, wrapped in cold air and a little snow on her helmet and shoulder armor. She walked quickly to the side of the three Alphas, touched them with her cold little hands, and said with a wicked smile: "Lazy worms, get up quickly." ”

Worthy of being the Amazon female warrior, the three of them screamed almost at the same time, turned over and sat up, and entered the battle state. When they saw their appearance clearly, they were immediately ashamed and hurriedly looked around for their clothes. Seeing three slender figures flashing in the tent, Liang Xiao suddenly felt an itchy nose, and a certain part began to move again.

"Master, you're so powerful." Sigma covered her mouth and glanced at Liang Xiao. "The lord will be very happy to find out."

Liang Xiao followed Sigma's gaze, looked at the restless part, and was embarrassed, and hurriedly turned around to find Da Yu. After turning around twice and not finding it, Sigma rolled her eyes, pulled out a big coat from the messy bed, draped it on Liang Xiao's shoulders, and went to find Liang Xiao's clothes and robes.

Under Sigma's waiting, Liang Xiao got dressed and got out of the big tent.

In front of him was a snowy patch, and the originally green and yellow grassland turned into a snowfield overnight, with thick snow everywhere, and the cold was oppressive.

Piles of bonfires were still burning, and some knights sat around them, drinking wine and eating meat. Gossip. I don't know if they haven't slept all the time. I still woke up and got up again. Their respective horses stood aside in twos and threes. Brushing away the snow on the ground, nibbling on grass roots, occasionally raising his head, shaking his mane, and hissing softly in the wind.

Seeing Liang Xiao coming, the knights got up one after another and saluted respectfully. "Happy New Year, sir."

Liang Xiao smiled. Wave your hand. "Happy New Year."

Walking all the way along the tent, breathing in the dry and cold air, Liang Xiao wrapped his body tightly. Unconsciously, it has been half a year since I left Chang'an, and more than four months since I set off from Yanmen, and now I finally came to Yueshi. The dangers of this journey are beyond imagination, and the rewards are also beyond imagination. However, Liang Xiao was not completely proud in his heart, and he still had a faint worry.

It's too far from Chang'an, until now. He didn't know what the imperial court, especially the Son of Heaven, thought of his trip. Is it for it, or for it. Or not to take a stand? To put it more seriously, this is an overkill. When he formed an alliance with the Yue clan and Dawan and returned to Chang'an happily, what was waiting for him was not necessarily a reward and reward, but also a surrender and imprisonment.

The grace of heaven is unpredictable, and this young son of heaven is notoriously difficult to wait. Even Wei Qing, who was so loyal that he couldn't add to it, couldn't have a good death, how could he hope for a good death? Maybe it's still a little possible to stay in Chang'an honestly, and now he has made such a thing as an edict......

Liang Xiao sighed secretly.

"Master?" Sigma led Gasatus to Liang Xiao's side, tilting her head and looking at him. "Would you like to get on your horse and run for a lap? No matter what kind of troubles you have, as long as you ride a horse and run dozens of miles on the grassland, all the troubles will fly away like pigeons. ”

Liang Xiao thought about it, took the reins of the horse, and turned over on the horse. Sigma also jumped on his mount, and the two of them stepped forward and one after the other, letting go of the horse's hooves and running on the freshly snowy meadow. Gasatus is worthy of being a famous horse, even on the snow, he still runs fast and steady. The cold wind blew in his face, making Liang Xiao feel cold all over his body, and also blowing away the uneasiness in his heart.

Whatever, let's get this done first. It's a shame to let go of such a great opportunity. If Liu Che was really so unreasonable, Lao Tzu would move the whole family here and stop waiting. He's not a good boss anyway.

As Sigma rode her horse, she cried out, "Master, wait for me, wait for me." ”

"Hurry up!" Liang Xiao laughed: "Catch up with me and teach you the trick of archery." ”

――

Half a month later, Liang Xiao arrived at Jianshi City.

Yue's Dalu Ajuna went out of the city to greet him. He was about fifty years old, of medium stature, and of great height. His face was dark, wrinkled as deep as a knife, and his two deep-set eyes revealed a deep vigilance, even if he was full of smiles, it still made people feel wary.

Seeing Liang Xiao from a distance, Ah Xian jumped off the horse, opened his arms, and strode over to greet him, laughing loudly.

"Haha, the Divine Arrow General from Dahan, I welcome you on behalf of the King of the Yue Clan."

Liang Xiao turned over and dismounted, and greeted him with a smile on his face. Guo Wenbin followed closely beside him and translated Ah Xiana's words to Liang Xiao. Before Guo Wenbin finished translating, Ah Juna had already walked in front of Liang Xiao, opened her arms, held Liang Xiao in her arms, and slapped her twice.

These two hits are really heavy, "bang bang" twice, like war drums. Liang Xiao's heart tightened by him, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Ah Xiana glanced at Liang Xiao in surprise, let go, took a step back, nodded, and said something. Guo Wenbin translated: "My lord, he said that you are very strong and a real master. ”

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly: "It's a shame that I'm still strong, otherwise I would have been flattened by Dalu." ”

After listening to the translation, Ayana shook her big fan-like hand and laughed. "How can a hero who can shoot the Evil King be slapped to death by me."

Liang Xiao was surprised. He didn't tell the officials of the Yuezhi branch about the shooting of the father and son of the Evil King, how did Ah Xuan know?

Hearing his question, Ah Xiana said with emotion: "My lord, although we have just met, we have already won your favor. You shot the evil king of Hun and killed the Hun evil king, the Huns were depressed and had insufficient troops, and they had been fighting in Nanshan for the past two months. What we thought was an inevitable big war was over before it had even begun. Countless Yueshi warriors have lived an extra year because of you. ”

When Liang Xiao heard it, he immediately felt that the taste was wrong. How afraid are the Yueshi people of Wusun, they have no confidence at all, and going into battle means dying in battle?

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, just smiled and listened to Ah Xuana. When the situation is unclear, it is better to listen than to speak rashly.

Seeing that Liang Xiao did not get carried away because of killing the evil king, Ah Xiana was very satisfied. He briefed Liang Xiao on the situation of the monthly branch.

Thirty years ago, the king of the Yue clan died in battle, because the crown prince Aliuu was too young, so he was regent by the Yan clan, and the people called him the queen. Now that Aleuu has grown, the queen is choosing the right time to abdicate. However, she has been a regent for more than 30 years and has won the hearts of the people, so many people are reluctant to keep her and try their best to keep her. The domestic magnates were divided into two factions, each with their own reasons, and it was difficult to decide for a while, and even affected the war against the Wusun people.

When Liang Xiao heard this, he immediately felt a sense of déjà vu. The Queen Mother was addicted to regents and was unwilling to abdicate, and the little king grew up and wanted to monopolize power, but was hindered by domestic forces. This is very similar to the current situation of Dahan. Ayana said it warmly, but I'm afraid that this may not be the case. The crown prince Aliuu is already in his prime, and the queen still refuses to budge, and there is too much hidden information in it.

"Then who is directing the war against Dawan now?" Liang Xiao remained silent and said with a smile.

"Of course, the crown prince." Ah Xiana chuckled: "My lord, you should be careful when you see the crown prince. You've robbed him of his credit. ”

Liang Xiao smiled. "Then when we meet, I will have to confess to the prince."

Ayana laughed, but the smile was a little dry, sounding a little forced.

Accompanied by Axiana, Liang Xiao walked into the Jian City. Jian City is much larger than Guishan City, but the prosperity level is too different, far less than the lively scene of people coming and going in Guishan City. Liang Xiao asked, and Ah Xiana said helplessly: "There has been a war recently, and the merchants have run out." ”

"Always at war?"

"Yes, and Bactria." Ayana waved her hand lightly. "But it doesn't matter, our warriors will soon conquer Bactria, and the merchants will naturally return."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything more. When they arrived at the inn, Ajuna had already arranged a place to stay. Liang Xiao handed over the national letter written by Mei Gao, and explained his intention to Ah Xiana, and recently took out the armor and head of the father and son of the evil king. Ah Xiana listened to them one by one and promised to report to the queen as soon as possible, so that Liang Xiao could wait in peace in the post house. If anything happens, you can send someone to find him in his house.

Liang Xiao thanked him and personally sent Axiana to the door. After returning, he said to Guo Wenbin: "You immediately take a few people who are fluent in Yue's language to the bazaar to have a look, learn about the situation, and especially inquire about the situation of the crown prince Aliuu." ”

"My lord, do you think the queen is unreliable?"

"A woman, and an old woman, naturally wants to be a little more stable. They did not have the slightest confidence in the face of Usun, but they had the upper hand in the face of Bactria. If it were you, what would you choose? Although the homeland is precious, if the price is too great, I am afraid that few people are willing to pay. ”

"What about the prince?"

"The crown prince may have wanted to use this to gain military power, or perhaps he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to assert his power, but in any case, he must have been more willing to take risks than the aging queen. If I can't convince the queen, I'm going to try the prince again. ”

Guo Wenbin nodded, called a few people, cleaned up, and went out.

Liang Xiao took Xia and Sigma and walked around the inn. One is to check the accommodation conditions of your subordinates and enhance the relationship with your subordinates, and the other is to check the environment of the post house, so that you can quickly make a correct response if something happens.

After walking around the post house, Liang Xiao already had a basic judgment in his heart. The inn was neatly repaired, and several places were even completely torn down and rebuilt. It can be seen that the people of the Yue clan have plans to settle in Jian Clan City, otherwise they would not have worked so hard.

The queen is old, I'm afraid it's hard to move, no wonder Zhang Qian in history worked in vain-
