Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 275
The first rich man Liang Xiao met was undoubtedly Liu Ling. Whether it was Liu Ling's boat or the furnishings of the Huainan Palace, Liang Xiao, who was born in two generations, was envious.When he came to Dawan and saw the Dawan Palace, his eyes were wide open.Compared with the Dawan Palace, the Huainan Palace is too low-key, and even has a strong air of coldness.At that time, he felt that King Dawan was the real rich man.

However, although the Dawan Palace is luxurious, it is not corrupt, or in other words, he has no chance to see the corrupt side.

Now, he saw this side in Creon's Castle Guard.There is a hot spring bath that can accommodate more than 200 people, exquisite stone statues, openly served wine and beautiful women. There is an unimaginable difference between Creon's magnanimity and his courage when facing the enemy, let alone the legendary Alexander. era.

It is conceivable that people like Creon are by no means alone, probably all the dignitaries in Dawan are like this.Creon is only because of Suye City, which has stronger economic strength.

Liang Xiao had been to the Chengshou Mansion several times before, but he had never had the chance to experience such a scene.If he hadn't taken the risk of going out of the city to attack the camp, and miraculously escaped, being treated as a guest of honor by Creon, he would never have known that there was such a luxurious life hidden behind Creon's cowardly face.

Liang Xiao could only sigh, unable to tell whether it was envy or regret.

-

Because of sufficient preparation and the Huns were too careless, Liang Xiao and his party fought quickly. Although almost everyone was injured, they were not fatal.Accompanied by beauties and fine wine, they were in high spirits. After tossing for nearly an hour, they reluctantly left the hot spring, got dressed, and went to the front hall for the banquet.

Creon greeted him with a smile, and warmly welcomed Liang Xiao into the banquet.

While Liang Xiao and others were taking a bath to heal their wounds, Creon invited all the well-known wealthy businessmen in the city, including Nie Yi and others.Seeing Liang Xiao come out, Nie Yi showed a knowing and ambiguous smile.He walked to Liang Xiao's side and chuckled lightly: "My lord, have you opened your eyes?"

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat.From what this means, Nie Yi also knows about Creon's situation?He looked at Nie Yi, who smiled and said softly: "The city guard is the king of the city, and at least half of Suye City's wealth is in Creon's hands. If your lord wants to gain a firm foothold in Suye City, this It's a great opportunity."

Liang Xiao swept his eyes, and several Han merchants nodded in unison, not hiding the surprise in their eyes.They were all invited by Creon in the middle of the night.Different from other guests, they already knew about Liang Xiao's attack on the camp, so they had been waiting for the news.Hearing that Liang Xiao had returned safely, while they were relieved, they were even more excited.

Their investment was not wasted, and it was a big success.Just from Creon's sudden enthusiasm for Liang Xiao, we can know that the Han people's good time in Suye City is coming.At this moment, when they saw Liang Xiao, it was like seeing a golden mountain.

Liang Xiao cupped his hands gratefully and thanked the Han merchants.He couldn't have performed such a miracle if it wasn't for the money they raised.Horses, armor, weapons, post-war rewards, which one doesn't cost money?Among other things, the spare horses that were thrown away were worth more than a hundred gold.Such a luxurious lineup was piled up by Han merchants with money, half of their military medals.

"What are you talking about, my lord doesn't know?" Nie Yi made a face on purpose and glared at those Han merchants.The Han merchants laughed apologetically, but their eyes were fixed on Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao looked at it and couldn't help laughing secretly.These profiteers sang together and cooperated really tacitly.

Creon arranged Nie Yi and the others beside Liang Xiao, and waited until everyone was seated before Creon stood up, raised his arms, and pressed lightly.

The whispering guests immediately shut their mouths and looked at Creon.

"Everyone must be very strange today, thinking that I have gone crazy again, and invited you to drink in the middle of the night." Creon patted his chest. "In the name of Zeus, I assure you that I am sober and not crazy, but..." He paused and laughed before speaking. "I just couldn't hold back my joy and wanted to share it with you all. Everyone, don't you find it a bit strange to see so many warriors?"

Everyone looked at each other, except for Nie Yi and the others, most of them didn't know what happened.It's really strange that dozens of teenagers and vulgar mercenaries appeared in the city guard's mansion, which was always kept out of the way.

"It's very simple. They just left the city to hunt and walked around the Huns' camp." Creon waved his hand, and two waiters brought Wudan's battle flag and showed it to everyone.The battle flag was torn off from the flagpole by Tu Niuer, only half of it, but the deer head on it was still clearly identifiable, it was the Wudan battle flag that many people had seen at the top of the city during the day.

All of a sudden there was an uproar.

This news is really shocking.For those present, the Huns are definitely at the top of the food chain, followed by the Wusun people, followed by the Yuezhi people, followed by the Cypriots, and finally the Dawan people.The big man is too far away, except for the exquisite silk, they don't know anything about the strength of the big man.

Suddenly they heard that the Han envoys Baiqi went out of the city and attacked the Huns by surprise, and many of them came back. How could they not be surprised.

For a moment, countless eyes of surprise or awe fell on Liang Xiao's face.

Liang Xiao's blood became hot all of a sudden, and he straightened his back involuntarily to meet everyone's attention.Nie Yi and the others and You Rongyan looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

From this moment on, the prestige of Dahan will be engraved in the hearts of Dawan people.

-

The emperor sat with his fur coat on his back, his eyes were a little empty.He looked at the memorial on the case, but his mind was obviously not on the memorial, and he tapped his fingers again and again.

"Duk...duk...duk...duk..."

Han Yan stood aside with her hands folded, her head bowed and her eyebrows lowered, like an old monk in meditation.

"Wang and grandson." The emperor suddenly said, his eyes gathered again.Han Yan raised her head in response. "His Majesty?"

"You go to Daxing Temple to have a look." The emperor raised his hand, scratched his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the memorial on the case again. "Ask Wang Hui if there is any news about Liang Xiao. If there is no news, I will not be able to explain it to the Empress Dowager. This Huainan King... What is wrong with him, so he has to deal with a Lang Guan?"

"Your Majesty, I do know the reason."

"What do you know?" The emperor turned to Han Yan with a flash of his eyes.

Han Yan smiled. "Your Majesty, do you remember that Prince Huainan just married Xiu Chengjun's daughter?"

The emperor snorted, noncommittal.Of course he knew about it, Xiucheng Jun Jinsu was his half-sister, who was deeply favored by the Queen Mother.The king of Huainan married her daughter for the prince Liu Jian, just because he wanted to make friends with the queen mother.Liu An's mind is really not small, it's not enough to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, he also has to climb the big tree of the Empress Dowager.

"What does this have to do with Liang Xiao?"

"Of course it is related. Have you forgotten, Your Majesty, the Lord Huainan has feelings for Liang Xiao, and everyone in Chang'an knows. But the King of Huainan seems to have other intentions. He intends to marry Marquis Wu'an, so..."

The emperor's expression changed.After a while, he sneered: "Wang Sun, you are thinking too much. Even if King Huainan wants to marry Marquis Wu'an, he doesn't need to criticize Liang Xiao. Although Liu Ling has some ideas, the marriage has to be decided by him. It wouldn't be possible to make a private decision with Liang Xiao for life."

"Your Majesty, that's not necessarily the case." Han Yan smiled. "My big man's women are very assertive, and they don't let their eyebrows abound. Did your majesty forget Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun? Compared with Zhuo Wenjun who can't support himself, the Huainan Weng Lord is much stronger. If things fail, it's over , she sailed out to sea and eloped with Liang Xiao, so what can Huainan King do?"

The emperor smiled and nodded repeatedly. "That's true. The old man of Huainan has a good way of making money. He doesn't need to sell wine like Zhuo Wenjun to force his father. Moreover, Liang Xiao is better at surviving than Sima Xiangru. The world is so big that there is no place for the two of them. Haha, it is not easy for King Huainan not to follow in the footsteps of King Zhuo and his grandson."

"That's why he has to write letters several times, expressly opposing the emperor's conquest, but actually cursing Liang Xiao. If Liang Xiao dies in the Western Regions..."

Han Yan didn't finish his sentence, because he had already seen the emperor's face was gloomy and sullen.He knew that what he said hit the emperor's hidden worries, and if he continued to speak, it would only be counterproductive, so he might as well shut up.

The people of Chu respected witchcraft, and witchcraft was prevalent in Chu. The King of Huainan had three thousand disciples, and even magical magic such as the art of yellow and white could be convincing. Cursing was not a piece of cake.It is dangerous enough for Liang Xiao to travel thousands of miles, if he is cursed again, it will be very dangerous.

The emperor's mood became worse and worse.

At this moment, Da Xing ordered Wang Hui to see him.When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly announced him into the hall, and rushed to the door to wait.Wang Hui rushed all the way, and seeing the emperor waiting in the gate of the palace, he was flattered and hurried forward to salute.

"What news?"

"Your Majesty, I have received an informant that Liang Xiao has safely arrived at Dawan Capital."

The emperor was overjoyed and blurted out: "Is this really true?"

Wang Hui said: "Your Majesty, how dare a minister deceive the emperor. There is a letter here. Please read it." He said, and handed the letter he just received to the emperor.

The emperor quickly picked it up and strode towards the book.Some of his hands were trembling, and he failed to untie the green rope tied to the bamboo slips twice, so he simply picked up the book knife next to him, cut it at once, spread out the slips, and quickly browsed.After reading only two sentences, he laughed.

"Okay, okay." He applauded while reading. "Beheaded Gu Luhu, the prince of the Huns? That's great. Ahh..." The emperor suddenly yelled, raised his head, and stared at Wang Hui, his face full of uncontrollable ecstasy. "Liang Xiao...killed King Hunxie?"

"Yes, yes." Wang Hui couldn't restrain the pride in his heart, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, there are more in the back, and there are more in the back."

"What else?" The emperor didn't know what to say, so he continued to look down.

Seeing this, Han Yan couldn't help feeling like a cat scratching her heart, itching unbearably.It was already a great surprise for Liang Xiao to kill King Hunxie, how could there be more?He really wanted to get closer, but when he saw the emperor's appearance, he retreated wisely.At this time, it is obviously not a good idea to compete with the emperor to watch.While thinking about it, Han Yan glanced at Wang Hui, wanting to get some information from Wang Hui first.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang", and the emperor slapped the table with his palm and laughed loudly.

"What a Liang Xiao, he is worthy of being my big man. With his own strength, he can spread his prestige thousands of miles away. Happy! Happy!"
