Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 224
Huainan country.

In the quiet and elegant small courtyard, the leaves of several wintersweet plants have fallen, and the golden and jade-like flower buds stick to the dark brown tree trunks like dewdrops, vigorous and delicate.

Stepping on wooden clogs, Liu Ling cut two branches with his own hands, trotted all the way back to the inner room, inserted the plum branches into a crystal clear glass bottle, sniffed them again, with a bright smile on his face, proud clapped hands.

The hot air from the fireplace flows through the buried pipes under the floor, making the whole room as warm as spring.Liu Ling took off the fox fur outside, spread out a piece of silk, rubbed the ink with one hand, picked up a round glass piece with the other, and observed the flower bone.Under the glazed sheet, the flower buds are somewhat distorted, but they are bigger. The flower buds that were originally only the size of a finger are now like a child's fist, and the flower cores that were not clearly visible before can now be distinguished.

Liu Ling looked at it carefully for a while, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw on the silk.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.Liu Ling frowned, stopped the pen in his hand, and continued to draw.

The figure of Prince Liu Qian appeared outside the door.

Liu Jiangong raised his hands and looked quietly at Liu Ling who was painting at his desk. Seeing that she didn't intend to stand up to greet her, the smile on her face gradually became a little unnatural.He coughed: "A Ling."

"Yo." Liu Ling raised his head pretending to be surprised. "It turned out to be Brother Wang. Why, the newlyweds are not with the Crown Princess, so you have time to come and see me?"

"I'm the kind of person who doesn't recognize my sister when I have a princess?" Liu Qian raised his eyebrows on purpose, took off his shoes at the door, and walked in.As soon as his foot touched the floor, he smiled. "Sister is really rich, and it just got colder, and it started to catch fire."

"Hee hee, there's a lot of money, I can't use it all up." Liu Ling giggled and said, "Brother Wang, is it cold? If you need it, I'll give you some high-quality charcoal from Yuzhang?"

"You are generous now." Liu Qian sat down opposite Liu Ling, leaned against the table, stretched out his slender little finger to pick the wing of his nose. "Compared to you, my prince is like a piece of mud that can't stand on the wall. Sister, teach me too."

Liu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth were crooked. "Really want to learn?"

Liu Qian nodded solemnly. "Of course, I sincerely ask for advice."

"That's good. Go to the corner and stare at the dewdrops on the plum branches."

"Look at the dew? What can you see?"

"You'll find out after reading it." Liu Ling waved his hand and picked up the pen again. "When did you find out, and when will you come ask me again."

Liu Qian didn't move, stared at Liu Ling for a while, and suddenly smiled. "A Ling, let me tell you some news. Liang Xiao went to the Western Regions."

Liu Ling's hand trembled, and the pen drew a long line on the silk, completely painting the half-drawn plum blossom.She lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then slowly put down the pen, and took another silk handkerchief to wipe her hands.

"When did this happen?"

"It should have set off a month and a half ago." Liu Qian's smile grew stronger. "Moreover, he acted without authorization and did not get the court's will."

Liu Ling suddenly laughed.She glanced at Liu Qian. "So, you think he won't be rewarded no matter whether he succeeds or not?"

Liu Qian blinked and didn't speak, but his eyes revealed his inner pride.

Liu Ling rolled his eyes and smiled again. "Brother Wang, I won't give you the charcoal. Liang Xiao traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions in order to become a marquis. I can't be idle, I have to save some dowry, don't you think so? Otherwise, the Huainan Kingdom will lose face by then. "

Liu Qian couldn't help but mocked: "Are you so eager to marry a commoner?"

"He won't be a commoner soon." Without waiting for Liu Qian to speak, Liu Ling said again: "Brother Wang, your throne is destined by birth, and his marquis is earned by himself, so it cannot be compared. If it were you, I'm afraid you don't even dare to think about it?"

Liu Qian suddenly changed color, glared at Liu Ling, and walked away.

As soon as he went out, the smile on Liu Ling's face disappeared.She put down her pen, folded her arms on the table, rested her chin on her arms, and stared at the Cupid statue in a daze.After watching for a long while, she suddenly laughed silently, and two touches of blush flew up on her face.She reached out and pinched Cupid's face.

"Qiao Tong, how much do you want to marry me, so desperately?"

-

Liang Xiao held the horse's neck tightly with both hands, trying to reduce the friction between the thigh and the saddle as much as possible.After riding for a long time, his thighs have been worn to a bloody mess, and it hurts to the heart when touched. Every ups and downs of the horse is a torture.

The moon panted heavily, and clouds of white mist spewed out from its mouth.It has been rushing for three days and three nights in a row, and it is almost unable to hold on.But Liang Xiao continued to kick and beat it, forcing it to run forward at the fastest speed.

Every batch of horses was sweating profusely, but they were still running wildly.

On the horizon behind them, nearly a hundred figures loomed.

That was King Hunxie and his most elite personal guards.

After parting with Ashe Ubis, Liang Xiao and his party robbed seventeen herdsmen successively.But their luck is not so good.Some herdsmen's men have already brought war horses with them, leaving only untamed raw horses, which are not subject to discipline at all and cannot be ridden.Some herdsmen have only one or two war horses in their families, which is not enough.There was no suitable replacement of horses, and horses kept falling to death. The speed of Liang Xiao and others was seriously affected.

Three days ago, King Hunxie finally caught up.

Liang Xiao had no choice but to order the exhausted horses to be thrown away, and they all got on the horses, and fought and fled.

The three days and three nights of chasing and fighting made them miserable. When the men and horses did not rest, they ran away endlessly and fought endlessly. The people were extremely tired, and the horses were also extremely tired.Liang Xiao's arrows were almost exhausted, and the others' arrows were almost exhausted as well.If you still can't get rid of King Hunxie, then you can only rely on hand-to-hand combat.

The day before yesterday, Li Dingguo was seriously injured and fell off his horse, and his life and death are uncertain.

Yesterday, Xu Yanshou died in battle.

Now, like a lingering ghost, King Hunxie chased after him again.

"Wen Bin, is there any terrain ahead that can be used?" Liang Xiao shouted hoarsely.

Guo Wenbin also shouted at the top of his voice: "My lord, there is a mountain pass in front of me. After passing that mountain pass, it is Dawan Kingdom."

"It's Dawan, which is rich in wine, beauties and BMWs?"

"Yes, yes." Guo Wenbin understood, and said loudly: "There are hot springs over there. When the time comes, soaking in the hot springs, drinking fine wine, hugging beautiful women, or riding a BMW on the grassland, it will be like a fairy. day."

Xie Guanglong couldn't help leaning over, and said loudly: "Is Dawan's beauty more beautiful than that Daxia merchant's orchid?"

"Then how can it be compared?" Guo Wenbin looked disdainful. "Ashebius is just a small businessman, and his orchids are only middle-of-the-road, not beauties at all. Only you rough people can be treasures, and I don't even bother to touch them."

"That's good." Xie Guanglong's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, you can't die. If you want to die, you have to die in the arms of Dawan beauty."

"That's right, it will be buried in a wine jar." Pang Shuo also shouted excitedly.

After hearing this, everyone laughed wildly.

"I want to eat three servings, I brought them for Xu Yanshou and Li Dingguo."

"Leave this daunting task to me."

Liang Xiao and Guo Wenbin squeezed their eyes and smiled knowingly.At the critical moment, they can only use this kind of psychological stimulation to squeeze their potential.Without any hope, it was difficult for them to run to the mountain pass ahead.Wangshan runs dead horse, it seems that it is in front of you, and it often takes half a day to get there.

And King Hunxie was behind him, probably less than three miles away.

"Brothers, King Hunxie has chased us for three thousand miles, and he is at the end of his strength. He came here just to give us the head. Everyone gritted their teeth and grabbed the mountain pass in front of us to occupy a favorable terrain. Let's take this great gift away. Come on, okay?"

"Okay!" Xie Guanglong shouted sharply.

"Sending a bird's head from thousands of miles away, how can you not accept it?" Li Shuyun, who has always been elegant, also yelled.

Everyone rode their horses again and ran towards the mountain pass in the distance.

-

King Hunxie was out of breath, his mouth was dry and his temples were throbbing wildly, which made him feel dizzy from time to time.

He has fought all his life and has been on horseback since he could walk. He never thought that riding a horse would be so painful.

The reason for all this was because of chasing Liang Xiao.He didn't expect these Han people to be so able to run, day and night, hardly giving him a chance to breathe.It took him half a month to bite the tail of Liang Xiao and his party, and he paid a heavy price for it.

The continuous gallop of three or four thousand miles was far beyond King Hunxie's estimate, and even the Huns who grew up on horseback could not bear it.Out of the two thousand elites, there are less than a hundred people left to follow him, and all of them are exhausted and exhausted.As long as the horse stops, these people may roll off the horse directly.The stock horses are almost exhausted, only the mounts under the crotch are left, and there is no possibility of replacement.

Age is not forgiving, these young and strong people can't bear it, even the old man Hunxie King can't bear it.If he hadn't seen Liang Xiao's back, he would have given up.Now victory is in sight, as long as he catches up, he can take back his son's head, but he can't make him give up.

They are tired, Liang Xiao and others are not tired?Could it be that the Huns who grew up eating meat on the grasslands are not as good as the Han people who grew up eating grain?

King Hunxie couldn't swallow this breath.He didn't want to be the laughing stock of others, so he must stop Liang Xiao and others, cut off his head, and avenge Guluhu.He took a deep breath, looked at the panting subordinates on both sides, and shouted loudly:
"Catch one, reward ten horses, a hundred cows, and be promoted to Commander! Grab Liang Xiao, reward a hundred horses, a thousand cattle, and be promoted to Commander!"

The Huns responded eagerly.They may not have heard the reward offered by King Hunxie clearly, but they all knew that King Hunxie would definitely set a heavy reward to boost morale if they chased him to this extent.If you succeed in this battle, you can ascend to the sky in one step, which is more cost-effective than participating in dozens of battles.The reward aroused their remaining courage. Some people stood up on horseback, brandished their swords, and shouted loudly to boost their morale.

"Hoo-ho--"
