Chapter 403

The Liang family was busy.

Liang Xiao is about to set off, and all the mercenaries and knights will accompany him, and the armor and horses must be prepared. Although the official will provide supplies for the men and horses, for them, some things, especially weapons, are better for themselves. to bring.

After several months of intensive training by Huan Yuan and Zhong Liqi, the strength of these people has improved a lot, especially the young Greek knights, who are now well-deserved warriors.They are full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

The day before leaving Beijing, Liang Xiao took some time to find Wei Qing.Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, there is a high probability that Wei Qing's expedition will happen.This parting, the next meeting may be more than half a year later.When Liang Xiao rushed to his house, Wei Qing was practicing martial arts with his cousin Wei Tao, and Zheng Er was busy in the kitchen, while Huo Qubing was playing with Xiaowei and his wife who were just able to walk.

Seeing Liang Xiao, Wei Qing quickly stopped and greeted loudly: "Second brother, brother is here, go buy some new wine."

Liang Xiao suppressed a smile and waved his hand. "No, I've brought both the wine and the meat, and the cow will bring them in later."

"Have you packed your luggage?" Wei Tao said with a smile, "There are quite a few rangers accompanying you this time, right?"

Liang Xiao smiled.There were quite a few rangers who came to his door on their own initiative, but he didn't want any of them.The purpose of these people's expedition is very clear, it is for wealth and honor, not to mention becoming good brothers like Tu Niu'er, even if they are compared with Pang Shuo, the loyalty of these people is difficult to cultivate.Instead of this, it is better to let them join the army directly to avoid unnecessary suspicion.

The emperor's surprise at Liu Fei's strength left a deep impression on Liang Xiao.Liu Fei is his elder brother, he is so on guard, he can't be careless.Now that you are needed, it is easy to say anything, and when you are no longer needed, these will become hidden dangers.The number of righteous obediences must be controlled, this is the rule Liang Xiao set for himself.

"Zhongqing, nothing else, I will give you a knife." Liang Xiao took an Uzi knife and handed it to Wei Qing. "Hope you don't need it."

The knife is a melee weapon. For generals, using a melee weapon means that the battle has reached the most dangerous time.Liang Xiao and Wei Qing had the experience of fighting side by side, and knew that Wei Qing was a very ruthless person despite his few words.In order to win, he will not hesitate to go into battle himself.

Wei Qing drew out the saber and danced twice, the blade pierced through the air and made a whining sound.Wei Qing was very satisfied. "A good knife should be made by a famous craftsman."

"No matter how good the knife is, it's only a few people. You and I are the ones who command the army, so it's better not to show off your bravery."

"Junhou, you can say that now, how can we have the qualifications." Wei Tao joked, took the knife from Wei Qing's hand, wielded it a few times, and couldn't put it down.Although this knife has no expensive ornaments, but the blade is like snow, with hidden flowers, exuding a biting murderous aura.

"Brother Wei, when the Son of Heaven launched an army to fight back against the Xiongnu, it was time for you and me to make meritorious service. I was just one step ahead of you. If you follow Zhongqing, the title of Marquis is not easy to capture?"

Wei Tao laughed out loud. "Then I will borrow the auspicious words from the prince."

Tu Niu'er came in carrying a large piece of meat and two urns of wine.Zheng Er hurriedly wiped his hands on the apron, went up to greet him, took the wine and meat, showing a bit ashamed. "Senior brother, come here as soon as you come, we are so embarrassed to bring so many things every time."

"What's the friendship between me and Zhongqing, why do you care about these?" Liang Xiao glared at Zheng Er. "If you have time, you should visit the master more often. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Yue Yue is inconvenient, and you often visit her. In Chang'an, she is the most compatible with you. Take your husband and son with you, maybe she will give me a son."

Zheng Er's eyes lit up. "Is there a moon?"

Liang Xiao nodded.Yue Yue has been pregnant for a month, but Li Rongqing has no shadow at all. The old lady is so anxious that she wants to go back to Guangling to fulfill her wish every day, saying that Li Rongqing's father is angry and she has to go to see her.It made Liang Xiao himself a little uncertain, Li Rongqing was in good health, and Yue Yue could conceive again so quickly, why couldn't she conceive?

Zheng Er talked for a while, then got into the kitchen again, Wei Qing's eyes followed Zheng Er's figure, and it took a long time to turn back.Liang Xiao saw it and secretly sighed.The relationship between the young couple is good, but unfortunately it will not last long.In the future, Princess Pingyang will come to snatch people, so how can this barbarian girl Zheng Er be an opponent.

Seeing that Liang Xiao's expression was not good, Wei Qing said: "If I can make meritorious service in this expedition, I will marry her when I come back. Then you must come to drink."

Liang Xiao glanced at Wei Qing, raised his eyebrows, hesitated to speak, and replied simply. "it is good!"

Zheng Er used to be an unruly and willful little girl, but after following Wei Qing, she has cultivated into a housewife. After a while, the wine was served and the meat was cut.Although Liang Xiao brought enough meat, she still habitually sliced ​​it very thinly and spread it on the plate one by one, which looked like a lot.Seeing this, Liang Xiao secretly felt sad.

The charcoal fire licked the bottom of the wok, and the water boiled. Liang Xiao and others picked up the paper-thin slices of meat and put them in the wok to rinse.The seasoning is very simple, it is the most common sauce on the street.But Liang Xiao ate very happily.Chang'an is so big, except at home, that is, Wei Qing's place, he is the most relaxed, so he doesn't have to worry about making mistakes.Wei Qing is a man of few words, but he knows what to say and what not to say.

Only with the experience of fighting side by side, or even relying on life and death, can you become a true friend.

They chatted while drinking and eating meat, Zheng Er came out after finishing his work, and hugged Mrs. Wei.Huo Qubing freed his hand, squeezed to Wei Qing's side, ate two pieces of meat first, burned his mouth, and sucked in air-conditioning.Liang Xiao glanced at him. "Is there no meat in the palace?"

"There is meat in the palace, but it's not as good as my aunt's." Huo Qubing said while stuffing two more pieces of meat into his mouth. "Liang Junhou, don't kill all the Huns, save some for me to kill. I plan to go out before."

Liang Xiao was puzzled. "Why before?"

Huo Qubing buried himself in eating meat.

"Why, surpass you." Wei Tao laughed: "This kid holds a grudge, thinking about how to surpass you every day."

"Better than me?" Liang Xiao twisted his mouth. "Boy, then you have something to learn."

Huo Qubing wrinkled his nose and dismissed it.Wei Qing was a little embarrassed, and quickly persuaded Liang Xiao to drink.They were talking happily when someone spoke again from outside the door.Wei Tao got up and walked out. After a short time, Liu Ling and Lei were led in.Wei Qing was very surprised, and hurriedly got up to greet him, warmly invited Liu Ling to take a seat, and asked Zheng Er to cut some more meat.

Liang Xiao was also very strange. "How did you come?"

"I'll come and see Mrs. Zheng." Liu Ling asked back. "I heard you're leaving Beijing tomorrow?"

Liang Xiao blinked and laughed silently. "I originally planned to have lunch here, and then took Zhongqing and the others to Huainan Mansion for dinner, but I didn't expect you to come first. That's fine, let's eat together."

Liu Ling felt a little regretful, but it was inconvenient to say more.She had known the news that Liang Xiao was leaving Beijing for a long time, and had been waiting for Liang Xiao to say goodbye.If the first one can't come, the second one can't come, so I have to take the initiative to come to him.Hearing that Liang Xiao had come to Wei's house, he called to see Zheng Er.

"Your Majesty is willing to come to the Huainan mansion. Of course, the little girl can't wait for it. However, I can't just go for dinner, I have to ask you for some questions."

"Ask me for advice?" Liang Xiao laughed. "Are you planning to learn archery? Really intend to learn this, I can introduce you to my master. However, your muscles and bones are already formed, I am afraid that you will not be able to practice it, you should learn from my junior sister."

"Oh, is that so, my muscles and bones are ready?" Liu Ling pretended to suddenly realize, and glanced at Liang Xiao, with a bit of resentment.

Liang Xiao was so embarrassed that he quickly buried himself in eating meat.Liu Ling refused to let him go, and said, "There is one more thing to congratulate Liang Junhou."

With a large piece of meat in his mouth, Liang Xiao looked at Liu Ling begging for mercy.Liu Ling turned a blind eye to it, and tapped the plate and cup with the chopsticks in his hand, every time he tapped on Liang Xiao's heart.

"Congratulations to Liang Junhou for his new son."

Liang Xiao was at a loss. "what?"

"On the way here, I happened to meet the emissary of Dawan Proton. He rushed to your house to report that Princess Dawan had given birth to a son." Liu Ling looked sideways at Liang Xiao and dragged his voice. "Mother and child are safe—"

Liang Xiao was stunned, even a deaf man could hear the sourness in Liu Ling's tone at this time, and was immediately embarrassed, even the good news of Luo Xuli's birth could not excite him.

Everyone also heard that something was wrong, pretended not to understand, and persuaded each other to drink.

The fact that Liu Ling was interested in Liang Xiao had already spread throughout Chang'an City.One is that Liang Xiao's name is too famous, and the other is that Liu Ling didn't cover it up, otherwise she wouldn't take the initiative to find Liang Xiao many times.Wei Qing was very clear about the matter between them, and knew that the reason why it hadn't blossomed and borne fruit was because of the special status of King Huainan, otherwise, the very lively emperor would have issued an edict long ago.He could seal Liang Xiao's food city near Jiangdu, so how could he be stingy with a lord.

But now, they all knew that Liu Ling was in a bad mood, and they were deliberately finding fault.

Wei Qing was stupid and didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to persuade him to drink and eat.Huo Qubing was inexplicable. "What Princess Dawan? What does he have to do with Liang Junhou for having a son?"

"Xiao Qubing, you don't know now." Liu Ling reached out and touched Huo Qubing's head. "If you want to catch up with Liang Junhou, you must not only learn how to ride a horse and archery, but also learn how to deceive the princess. You see, Liang Junhou went to Yanmen and brought back a moon. He went to the Western Regions and brought back a bright pearl." .It's not an easy skill to learn."

Huo Qubing suddenly realized, jumped up, his little face was flushed red. "You...you...how can you do this?"

Liang Xiao became angry from embarrassment, and just raised his hand. "Little Zhuzi, eat your meat! Your hair hasn't grown yet, what do you know about adults?"

Huo Qubing was furious. "You are too much. You... how do you let me surpass you?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then roared with laughter.

Liang Xiao suppressed a smile, dragged Huo Qubing over, put it on his lap, and patted him twice. "Little Zhuzi, I told you a long time ago that it is not so easy to surpass me. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Lord Weng how I refused her when she invited me to the Huainan Palace. If it was you , can you be this courageous? Do you know how many heroes and heroes bow down before the beauty of Weng Lord, only me..."

Liang Xiao pointed to his nose. "Get out of the way."

"And—" Liu Ling couldn't help laughing. "I'm not ashamed to brag about myself."
