Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 111 Investing
Dongfang Shuo laughed out loud, triumphant.

"Come here, come here. Xijun will leave tomorrow, and we will have a break-up dinner today, so come together."

Hu Xijun couldn't restrain himself when he heard the word "disbandment banquet", his nose was full of tears, but Dongfang Shuo smiled all over his face, hugged her in his arms, and patted her gently. "Don't cry, don't cry, it doesn't look good if you wear makeup. Hurry up and sell wine to cut your meat. If you don't get these guys drunk, what will they do if they steal your money? No matter how good you are, you are afraid of kitchen knives. I can kill you alone But three."

Hu Xijun laughed through his tears, wiped away his tears, and hurried away.

Liang Xiao and others climbed over the wall and circled around the gold and brocade on the case.Tu Niuer said: "You are so greedy, why don't you go to rob the tomb?"

Pang Shuo said: "It's not that he doesn't want to steal. How big a hole would he have to dig for such a big man? Besides, he has no second body in Chang'an City. If something happens, where can he escape? So, it's better to steal a tomb." Ming grab."

"It makes sense. Dumb, you've become much smarter recently."

"Bah, I'm pretty smart."

Liang Xiao ignored the two tampers and sat down by the desk. "How did Hu Ji react?"

Dongfang Shuo also sat down with a relaxed expression. "I'm ready to attack, but it won't be in Chang'an. I figured out that your danger should be in Huainan, adjacent to Jiangdu. Kill people in Huainan, and then quickly leave Huainan and enter Jiangdu."

Liang Xiao laughed, and counted, you really think you are a fairy.He believed in Dongfang Shuo's ability and analysis, but he didn't believe in counting.Historically, Dongfang Shuo has been described as magical, but he is skeptical about it.The Dongfang Shuo in front of him didn't have any sense of immortality, more like a magic stick.

"You don't believe me, why don't we make a bet?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo with a half-smile. "How to bet?"

Dongfang Shuo was irritated by Liang Xiao's casual expression, so he took the case. "You can bet however you want. If I lose, I don't want the rest of the commission."

"That's good. Let's bet on where Hu Ji will strike. I heard from Liu Wengzhu that the reason why Huainan is also called Jiujiang is because the Yangtze River has nine bends in Huainan. You can figure out which two bends Hu Ji will strike between." .You don’t need all the rest of your commission, just limit it to ten gold.”

"No." Dongfang Shuo shook his head. "That is, based on the transaction price of five hundred gold, you still owe me 27 catties and a half gold. How can you count it on ten gold?"

"It doesn't need to be so much?" Liang Xiao frowned. "I don't care, you have lost too much."

"It's okay. I'm sure I can win. If I win, I'll have 55 gold."

Liang Xiao refused, but Dongfang Shuo stared at Liang Xiao, insisting that he would bet a huge sum of 27 catties and a half gold.Liang Xiao had no choice but to reluctantly agree.Dongfang Shuo counted again with his fingers, and finally said: "From west to east, it is between the seventh and eighth bends; from east to west, it is between the second and third bends."

"Are you sure?" Liang Xiao frowned slightly, doubtful.

"I'm sure." Dongfang Shuo smiled triumphantly. "Should we make a deed? In order to avoid someone reneging on the debt."

"Oh, there's no need for that." Liang Xiao shook his head. "Our accounts have been settled, there is no need to keep accounts."

"What?" Dongfang Shuo was furious: "The debt is settled before you gamble? Are you trying to play tricks?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him, and finally couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha, Manqian, you thought you were staring into my eyes just now, and I didn't know you were testing me? It's a pity, I'm not Hu Ji, and you can't guess my reality."

Dongfang Shuo suddenly became weak. "No... nine bends?"

"There are only three obvious bends, and it can barely be counted as five. There must be no seven or eight."

Liang Xiao was overjoyed.He had long suspected that Dongfang Shuo's so-called magical calculations were nothing more than careful observation, just as he was good at guessing people's hearts, as if he could read minds.He brought up Liu Ling's statement in order to convince Dongfang Shuo that the Yangtze River in Huainan really has nine bends.

Dongfang Shuo didn't believe it all, so he had to increase the bet to observe his reality.If it was fake, he would definitely be willing to raise the bet, showing a look of success, and with Dongfang Shuo's observation ability, he could immediately see the problem.

Dongfang Shuo's mind-reading skills, which have been tried and tested by others, met with Waterloo when it came to him.It's not that he's smarter than Dongfang Shuo, it's just that he didn't follow Dongfang Shuo's psychological suggestion and was led by his nose.In terms of understanding of psychology, he can beat Dongfang Shuo eight streets.

"Sure enough, the traitor seems loyal, the fake seems true, and the honesty may deceive people." Dongfang Shuo sighed: "Okay, I lost, we are both settled."

"It can't be said that you are all wrong. From the analysis of common sense, it is indeed a choice to advance and retreat freely on the river near the border of Jiangdu. Whether it is not entering Jiangdu, or fleeing to Danyang in the south of the Yangtze River, pretending to be Yue people to commit murder A good idea. So, the bet is a draw."

"Why?" Tu Niu'er called out. "27 and a half catties is not a small amount."

Liang Xiao ignored Tu Niu'er.To him, although Dongfang Shuo seems unreliable, his value is far beyond what twenty or thirty gold can reflect.Just as Liu Ling was willing to spend hundreds of gold to buy him, he was also willing to spend dozens of gold to buy Dongfang Shuo.

This is also an investment, and it is a long-term investment.

Dongfang Shuo was not humble either, acquiescing to Liang Xiao's decision.Not long after, Hu Xijun came back from buying wine and meat, and prepared a sumptuous dinner.Dongfang Shuo has already made a decision, he and Hu Xijun's cohabitation is related to this, and they will part ways tomorrow.Hu Xijun showed his housekeeping skills, which was bound to leave a deep impression on Dongfang Shuo.

Liang Xiao and the others were very satisfied with their meal and returned home with all their heart's content.

……

As soon as the Empress Dowager's birthday passed, Liang Xiao received the notice to leave.He told Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo to take good care of his family, and when he was away, he should practice martial arts well and not run around.If you have anything, you can go to Dongfang Shuo, or go to Weiyang Langguan to find Brother Li Jiao.Now he is just an ordinary Langguan who wants to serve people, and he is not qualified to take his attendants on the road, so he has to leave them in Chang'an.

Liang Xiao went to Huainan Mansion again to say goodbye to his old lady and Li Rongqing.Apart from being happy, Liang Yu regretted that Li Rongqing could not accompany her.Li Rongqing is proficient in assassination techniques, not only can help Liang Xiao with chores, but also serve as a personal bodyguard.It's just that Liang Xiao doesn't have enough status now, so we can't talk about these things.

Liang Xiao went to see Liu Ling again.Liu Ling also wants to go with him.

"I'll meet you outside the city. I want to discuss something with the envoy." Liu Lingruo glanced at Liang Xiao meaningfully. "This road may not be smooth."

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. "What did Weng Lord hear?"

"Some people complained in front of the empress dowager, saying that the imperial court was laissez-faire, mean to the clan, and betrayed relatives. Among them was Zheng Shi, the Prime Minister of Jiangdu."
