Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 113
Li Jiao and the others were very surprised.

They more or less knew that Liang Xiao had a close relationship with Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan.But they didn't take it seriously.Judging from various signs, Liu Ling had a crush on Liang Xiao, and it was possible to invite him into the mansion, but at most it was her own idea, and it could not be the idea of ​​Huainan Palace.

Huainan Wang Lixian Corporal, with three thousand guests, is the most famous virtuous king in the Han Dynasty, but is he so respectful to an underage boy?

Liang Xiao's archery skills are indeed good, but not so good.What's more, most of the respected people of Huainan King were scholars, and Liang Xiao obviously had no knowledge.Apart from being good at archery, he is just an ordinary boy.

However, Wu Bei's words made them have to reconsider what Liu Ling said.

The Huainan Palace invited Liang Xiao many times, but Liang Xiao refused to agree?If it is a child of an aristocratic family, then there are reasons for it.After all, the status of the kingdom official has declined now.But for ordinary people like Liang Xiao, it was different to refuse Huainan King's invitation, and to invite him many times.

Yan Zhu, as a close minister of the two thousand stones beside the emperor, could not enter the Huainan palace again, but he could not refuse the enthusiasm of Huainan's father and daughter, and he readily accepted it and was proud of it.What kind of confidence does Liang Xiao have to refuse the sincere invitation of the Huainan Palace.

For a while, the Weiyang Langs who had received a lot of help from Yan these days straightened their waists, looking happily and proudly, and looked at Liang Xiao with a little more envy.In addition to expressing admiration for Liang Xiao's archery skills, he felt a little more close to him, and was proud to have such a colleague.

Wealth is hard to come by, but it is even more rare to refuse the wealth at your fingertips.It is admirable that Liang Xiao can do this at such a young age.

Liang Xiao quickly got up, holding the wine glass in both hands. "Dare to ask your name."

"Wu Bei, a man from Chu, was not abandoned by the king of Huainan, and he became Zhonglang."

Liang Xiao was taken aback.He heard Liu Ling mention Wu Bei, who is said to be a descendant of Wu Zixu, the most talented of the disciples of the Huainan Palace, and also the most trusted by the Huainan King.He came to toast himself, and said such a thing again, it was really a shame.

"It turned out to be Wu Zhonglang. I have admired him for a long time." Liang Xiao raised his glass with both hands, lower than Wu Bei's hand, to show respect. "It's true that the Huainan Prince's Mansion is full of talented people, Xiao Yijie is a white man, he is ashamed of his appearance, and dare not stand side by side with other lords."

"Hehe, although you don't read much, you have extraordinary knowledge. Being able to know the Western Regions from grapes has a broad horizon, which is comparable to that of ordinary scholars." Wu Bei blinked, smiled slightly, and toasted.

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he also smiled. Holding the wine glass in both hands, he drank it down in one gulp.From Wu Bei's words, he heard some implication.Liu Ling probably conveyed his opinion to Liu An, and Liu An and Wu were discussed, or at least mentioned.Apparently, Woo was on board with him.Encouraging King Huainan to seek money instead of rebellion is a more feasible choice for Wu Bei.

As far as he knew, although Wu Bei was implicated and executed in the end, he himself did not approve of Liu An's rebellion.This proposal of mine was clearly in the hands of Wu Bei.As the head of guests in Huainan, Wu Bei personally came to toast Lang Guan sitting under the steps, which may be related to this.Thinking deeper, Liang Xiao felt that Wu Bei was not just trying to praise him, but had other intentions.

For example, to send a message to the emperor.

But why didn't he pass the message through Yan Zhu, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, but through a humble official like me?
Liang Xiao glanced at Yan Zhu in the hall.Yan Zhu didn't know what wonderful thing he said, he was leaning forward and back, laughing heartily.But Liang Xiao is an archer. Although his eyesight is not as outstanding as his hearing, he still saw Yan Zhu's casual glance.

Liang Xiao was a little unhappy.As an envoy of the emperor, Yan Zhu was petty in every way, which was really contrary to his status.No wonder he didn't die well in the end.Liang Xiao retracted his gaze, pretending he didn't see it, and gave Wu a deep salute: "Liang Xiao is very grateful for being loved by Mr. Wu wrongly. Mr. Wu, this is Li Jiao, the son of General Li..."

Liang Xiao turned around and introduced Li Jiao and other colleagues.When Wu Bei gave a toast to Li Jiao just now, he noticed that Wu Bei didn't have any special respect, he just respected Li Jiao first because Li Jiao's official position was slightly higher. He specially reminded Wu Bei that this is the son of General Li Guang. It is to make face for his colleagues, and it is also to remind Wu Bei that the court is full of talents, Huainan is not an opponent, so don't mess around.

Although Wu Bei didn't necessarily understand Liang Xiao's meaning, he didn't dare to neglect General Li, and quickly saluted Li Jiao again.

Li Jiao was very happy and had another drink with Wu Bei.Liang Xiao introduced the other colleagues one by one, and told them that Wu Bei was the head of the guests of the Huainan Palace after Wu Zixu, and he was a true hero.After hearing this, the Lang officials did not dare to neglect, and stepped forward to salute one after another.

They are all people who are not qualified to sit in the hall, and they dare not expect to talk to the King of Huainan. It is a great honor to have a glass of wine with Huainan's chief guest.If this person is after the famous official Wu Zixu, it will be more face-saving.

For a while, the court was very lively, and the officials took the initiative to toast Wu Bei to express their admiration.

Yan Zhu was very upset, but he didn't like having a seizure.

After the banquet was over, Liang Xiao and others escorted Yan Zhu back to the post house.Just when Liang Xiao was about to follow Li Jiao to inspect, Wei Qing came out and called Liang Xiao to a halt. "Yan Jun wants to see you."

Liang Xiao knew that trouble was finally coming, he gave Li Jiao a wink, and followed Wei Qing upstairs.During the few steps up the stairs, Liang Xiao said to Wei Qing: "Brother Wei, can you understand what this Huainan person is saying?"

Wei Qing smiled honestly. "Most of the official Chinese can still be understood, and the private words can only be guessed."

"Oh, although Wu Quilt's accent is heavy, the official Chinese is still passable. You should be able to hear clearly, right?"

Wei Qing glanced at him, didn't speak, just nodded.While talking, the two arrived outside Yan Zhu's door.Yan Zhu was sitting in front of the desk, took off his coat, and was drinking hangover soup.His face was flushed, he smelled of alcohol, even his eyes were red, and he looked like he had drunk a lot.

"grown ups."

Yan Zhu pointed to the bamboo mat opposite and motioned Liang Xiao to sit down.Liang Xiao sat down at the table, quietly waiting for Yan Zhu to speak.Yan Zhu didn't make a sound for a long time, leaned his body, supported the desk with one hand, tapped the desk with his fingers lightly, tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao remained motionless, his breath was steady, his expression was calm, and he was not moved by Yan Zhu.

"Do you know Wu Bei?"

"Know a thing or two."

"Even if you know a little bit, you have to pay attention to your identity. You must know that you represent the face of the imperial court."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and bowed his hands in salute. "Dare to ask my lord, can I be rude?"

Yan Zhu was very dissatisfied with Liang Xiao's soft but hard rebuttal, and his face sank. "Is there any faux pas, don't you know?"

Liang Xiao said neither humble nor overbearing: "Xiao is also young, born in a reckless manner, and has a lot of carelessness in etiquette. Although he is always vigilant, it is inevitable that he has not thought carefully. If there is any impoliteness, please give me some pointers. My lord, we are rude today. place?"
