Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 187 Drunkenness
"Liuli's profit is so high?" Liu Ling's eyes lit up. "Can I do it too?"

"Find a few craftsmen, and find a few people like Deng Guobin. It shouldn't be a big problem to spend a hundred and ten gold to study it. Are there alchemists in the Huainan Palace? They should be very good at doing this."

Liang Xiao spoke so confidently because he had read a piece of information that the origin of glass in China was probably the same as gunpowder, a by-product of alchemy.Whether it is true or not, he is not sure, but alchemists are ancient chemists, it would not be surprising if they could make glass.

Liu An, the king of Huainan, had three thousand followers, and wrote "Huainanzi" which collected the great achievements of Taoism. "Huainanzi" is divided into inner, middle and outer chapters. The eight volumes of the middle chapter are about the art of yellow and white, and to put it bluntly, it is all kinds of chemical experiments.It is natural for these people to try glass production with ease and get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, for alchemists who only want to become immortals, refining colored glaze is a bit too cheap.If he wanted to convince these people, Liu Ling would probably have to spend some time thinking, and if necessary, use some means.Fortunately, these are all a piece of cake for Liu Ling, and Liang Xiao believes that she can do it.

Holding the Cupid portrait, Liang Xiao came to the Hu's wine shop, watched the Hu girl bring the wine, Liang Xiao took a sip, and immediately grinned.

So fucking sweet, much sweeter than Sprite.

"Not used to it?" Liu Ling squinted at Liang Xiao, and said with a smile: "I was not used to it the first time, but the more I drank it, the more I wanted to drink it. The sweet and sour taste is really good."

Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.The petty bourgeoisie of later generations will probably collapse when they hear Liu Ling's words.Liu Ling is a true aristocrat, her status and knowledge can surpass those petty bourgeoisie by a few blocks.sour and sweet?You thought yogurt.Besides, is there anyone who takes such a big gulp of booze?
"I didn't expect wine to be available in Wu City, but I didn't expect it." Liang Xiao took another sip. "When I go back, I have to take some back and let my mother taste it. By the way, it is said that drinking this kind of wine every day is good for health."

"Really?" Liu Ling raised his eyebrows. "Then I'll take some back too. Don't worry about it, and you have to pay taxes for nothing. I'll take it back for you and give it to you in Chang'an."

"Thank you, Lord." Liang Xiao was not polite.It's really not easy for him to bring something back.If Yan Zhu is willing to help, it's okay to say that if Yan Zhu refuses to help, at least half of the things they have worked so hard to carry back will have to pay taxes.

……

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Che stood under the porch of the front hall, looking over the palace wall to the southeast.

He received Yan Zhu's six-hundred-mile urgent document, and felt very uneasy.It was beyond his expectation that the situation in Kuaiji County would deteriorate like this.The captain of Kuaiji County died in battle, the county soldiers had been severely injured, and the Minyue army returned with a full load. It seems that it is not feasible to rely on the power of Kuaiji to subdue Minyue.

Fortunately, Yan Zhu was not chaotic in the face of danger, and sent Wei Qing, Liang Xiao and others to attack, harassing the Minyue army, disrupting their steps, and finally forcing them to retreat, ambushing the Minyue army on the way, crashing and sinking Yu Shanhe Liu Ju's ship beheaded 500 people and won a big victory.

Liu Ling also came at the right time, and unexpectedly captured Jing Zhao and Zheng Wu alive. With these two captives, this expedition can be regarded as a small gain, at least when Huainan Wang said it, he would not be so sharp.

Yan Zhu is a talent, available.

Liang Xiao... is not bad either. He is good at archery, has courage, and has a flexible mind. He is capable of doing things.

The day when the kings come to court is getting closer and closer. Although the crisis in Kuaiji has been resolved, Dongou is still in danger.how to solve this problem?

Yan Zhu proposed two plans: one is to recruit and surrender, and the premise is to make Liu Ju a marquis; the other is to conquer. In the case of insufficient soldiers in Kuaiji County, it is necessary to recruit local soldiers from Yuzhang and even Jiangdu and Huainan.In this way, it is necessary to use military talismans, and perhaps go through court discussions.He knew very well that this matter would definitely not pass the imperial court. If it was feasible, Yan Zhuji would not have been allowed to go to Kuaiji in the first place.

Make Liu Ju a Marquis?It is a way, but in this way, isn't it too weak?Liu Ju was the old prince of Wu. The Wu-Chu Rebellion was a catastrophe for the great man, and the aftermath has not yet been exhausted.The same surname Wang is established because he believes that he is connected by blood, and he will not be as unreliable as kings with different surnames.But the facts have proved that kings with the same surname are more dangerous than kings with different surnames, because they have the same blood and are also eligible to join the Datong.

Emperor Xiaowen took the vassal king as his emperor.

Thinking of this, Liu Che felt a little anxious.After being married for many years and approaching the weak crown, he has never had an heir. I don't know how many people are watching his jokes.

Wei Zifu, you must give me a son.

"Your Majesty..." Holding a slingshot, Han Yan quickly walked in from the door, and ran up to Liu Che three steps at a time. "Are you still hunting today?"

"I'm not going." Only then did Liu Che remember that the officials were still waiting outside the palace, waiting to protect him from going out to hunt at night. "I have important things to think about, and I don't have the heart to hunt. Wang Sun, what do you think of the Dongou matter?"

Han Yan pondered for a moment: "Let's appease. The Empress Dowager is still here, so it is not appropriate to go to war. After the Empress Dowager dies, it is not too late to discuss. Besides, Wu Yue is only a minor illness, and the Xiongnu is a serious problem. It is not appropriate to put the cart before the horse. "

Liu Che smiled. "Wang Sun, you know my heart best."

……

"Grape wine... luminous cup, want to drink pipa... hurry up..."

Liang Xiao's face was red, his tongue was sticking out, and he held up his wine glass, but he couldn't find Liu Ling's location. "Weng... Lord Weng, where did you... hide?"

Liu Ling rested his chin and looked at Liang Xiao who was obviously drunk with a smile.At the beginning, when I saw Liang Xiao gulping gulps, I thought he was huge, but I didn't expect to get drunk so quickly.But it doesn't matter if he's drunk, the sober Liang Xiao is too cautious, he can't let go, but the drunk Liang Xiao is much more bold, not only clinking glasses with her one after another, but also reciting poems.

This poem is very strange, because Liu Ling has never heard of the rhyme. It is a rare seven-character sentence. It is a bit like Chu Ci, but it is not the same thing. It sounds impassioned.

"The luminous cup of wine and grapes, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately remind me. Drunk on the battlefield, Lord Grim, a few people have returned from ancient times."

Hearing the last sentence, Liu Ling couldn't help but feel pity.That's right, this sentence has never been the most appropriate description of Liang Xiao.An ordinary commoner who wants to become an official with military merits does not know how much he will have to pay.In the battle of Kuaiji, Liang Xiao was seriously injured and has not yet fully recovered.This is just a mere thief, how many dangers will he face in the future against the Huns who are proficient in riding and shooting?

Can he come back alive?
"My Lord, Liang Xiao drank too much." Lei was stepped forward and reminded: "I'll send someone to take him back."

"Won't sending him back like this hurt him?" Liu Ling stood up, swayed, and quickly stroked his forehead with his hand.She was also happy today, drank a lot of wine, her eyes were hot and her heart was beating, her feet were floating and her legs were weak, but her mind was still clear. "Yan Zhu has always been prejudiced against Liang Xiao. If he knows that Liang Xiao is drinking with me, how can he not be angry. Even if nothing happens, something can happen. What's more, he is outspoken now."

"What should I do?"

"Take it back to the post house first, and we'll talk about it when he wakes up." Liu Ling stood up and reached out to hug the cupid glass statue.Seeing this, Lei quickly said, "My Lord, let me get it, don't break it."

"I'm fine." Liu Ling held Cupid in his arms, closed his eyes, blushed, and smiled. "This...is given to me by Liang Xiao, I have to...hold it with my own hands."

Lei got a black line on his forehead.Although Liu Ling wasn't drunk like Liang Xiao, he was still quite drunk.What's the point of cradling a statue of a naked little boy in your arms?If this is reported back to the Huainan Kingdom, the King of Huainan will definitely get angry.He didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately called his followers, first sent Liu Ling to the car, then picked up Liang Xiao who was still looking for the spout of the jug, turned around and went downstairs.

"Liang Xiao? Liang Xiao?" Liu Ling hugged the Cupid statue and looked around on the car window.

"My lord, don't worry, I will find a car."

"No...no way." Liu Ling reached out and grabbed Liang Xiao's sleeve. "His injury...hasn't healed yet, no...he can't catch cold. Just let him... sit... in my car." While talking, he dragged Liang Xiao into the car.Lei was helpless, so he had no choice but to stuff Liang Xiao into Liu Ling's car and close the door.

The officials of Huainan Kingdom looked at Lei Bei and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What are you looking at, let's go!" Lei was yelled at: "If anyone talks nonsense, I will kill his whole family. Do you hear me?"

"Here." The Lang officials responded loudly, drove the carriage, left Wu City, and walked to the posthouse where Liu Ling lived.

Lei was followed closely beside the car, with his ears pricked up and his heart in his throat, for fear that there would be any movement in the car.Fortunately, Liang Xiao snored loudly as soon as he got into the car, and he didn't do anything unusual.He was still worried, and took the opportunity of holding on to the carriage, opened the door a crack, took a sneak peek, and suddenly felt a thump in his heart.

Liang Xiaoshui was actually asleep, but he was held in Liu Ling's arms.Liu Ling sat leaning against the carriage, hugging Liang Xiao with both hands, like holding a baby, but staring straight at the cupid glass statue on the floor, with a smile on his mouth, eyes blurred, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lei's lips moved, and he wanted to remind Liu Ling a few words, but he didn't know what to say.It was not only Liang Xiao who lost his composure today, even Liu Ling was different from usual.He has followed Liu Ling all these years, but he has never seen Liu Ling like this.Whether the statue of Cupid is worth hardware or fifty gold, it has never been taken seriously by Liu Ling, but now, it has become Liu Ling's most beloved treasure.

It's been a long time since Lei Bei saw Liu Ling being so concerned about something.He quietly closed the door and sighed softly.

There was a special sound of hoofbeats, the sound of cars rattling, and the carriage drove towards the post house while shaking gently.

Little Cupid hid in the corner, drew his bow, aimed the arrow at Liang Xiao and Liu Ling, with a sly smile on his face.
