Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 115
"wait."

Wei Qing was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao found the postmaster, ordered some light wine and meat, and brought them to Wei Qing.Wei Qing was still standing in the stable, watching Liang Xiao come back with food and drink, swallowed involuntarily, and made a rumbling sound in his stomach.

"Eat. Horses have to eat grass at night, and people can't go to bed on an empty stomach."

Wei Qing took the tray, sat on the manger, picked up the wine and meat, and began to eat in big mouthfuls.When he was in the Huainan Palace, he was sitting behind Yan Zhu. Although there was plenty of wine and food on the table, he didn't have much time to eat.Yan Zhu was very busy, someone would toast him, or he would get up to toast others. Wei Qing and Qin Ge would get up at any time to ensure that Yan Zhu was within their rescue range.

Now, Yan Zhu was full of wine and food, and fell asleep soundly, but Wei Qing and Qin Ge were still half-starved, and were about to go to the postmaster's place to find something to eat.Liang Xiao thoughtfully prepared it for him.When Wei Qing was devouring, Liang Xiao sat beside him, not saying a word.

"Thank you." Wei Qing ate half of it, wiped his mouth, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Zhongqing, Mr. Yan is contemptuous and conceited of his talents, sometimes it is inevitable..." Liang Xiao patted Wei Qing on the shoulder, hesitating to speak. "I won't take it to heart, and neither should you."

Wei Qing blinked, feeling a strange warmth.He came to comfort Liang Xiao, and he didn't want Liang Xiao and Yan Zhu to have a rift, which would affect the business, but he didn't expect Liang Xiao to comfort him instead.However, these words really touched his heart.Yan Zhu not only looked down on Liang Xiao, Li Jiao and others, but also looked down on him and Qin Ge, even though his sister was favored by the emperor.

In fact, not only Yan Zhu, but other officials also look down on him, thinking that he relies on nepotism, not on his own ability.

Liang Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Go and rest, I still have to shoot."

"Okay." Wei Qing nodded, took the food and drink, and walked away quickly.

Liang Xiao stretched his body and started his daily night training.When he lived at home, he had a lot of time to practice.Now that I have become an official, the time has suddenly become very tight. I must seize all the free time, and I must have an almost obsessive-compulsive persistence to see every stitch, otherwise it will be easy to waste.

Wei Qing went back upstairs and handed over the rest of the food and drink to Qin Ge.Qin Ge was fainting from hunger, when he saw the food and drink, he quickly took it.Hearing Wei Qing say that this was prepared by Liang Xiao, Qin Ge laughed. "Let me just say, you are overthinking. Although Liang Xiao is young, he is a steady person, and he will never be arrogant. You don't believe it, how about it?"

Wei Qing peeked inside and saw that Yan Zhu was already snoring loudly, sleeping like a dead pig.Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "But I'm worried that Mr. Yan won't let it go. Although the Lord Weng has been talking with Mr. Yan along the way, he has praised Liang Xiao a lot when he mentioned Liang Xiao. From the tone of Mr. Yan, I don't seem to be happy. Too convinced."

"That's jealousy." Qin Ge took a big sip of wine, with a look of disapproval. "Master Yan won the official position with his vertical and horizontal skills. But his knowledge of the general situation of the world is not comparable to that of Liang Xiao, how can he not be jealous. Does he know the Western Regions?"

Qin Ge paused, and then said: "Zhongqing, I think Liang Xiao's idea is good. If King Huainan can really become a rich man with peace of mind, His Majesty will be very happy. I listen to the Lord, she also has the same intention, but I am worried that the court will not give up. If you have the opportunity, you should mention it to His Majesty. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

Wei Qing muffled in response.

……

Huainan Palace, Liu An's spacious study.

Liu An sat in the middle, Wu Bei and Zuo Yan sat opposite him, the crown prince Liu Qian sat on the right, and Liu Ling sat on the left, leaning on Liu An's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Father, I stand like this!" Great credit, how do you reward me?"

"Reward you?" Liu An gave Liu Ling a loving look. "For the sake of a commoner, you first quarreled with Gaihou's mansion, and then with the emperor's close ministers. You really know the seriousness."

Liu Qian smiled softly: "Father, although my sister did something wrong, but if you have the skill of this double-faced brocade, if it is really like what Liang Xiao said, you can transport goods by sea to the Western Regions, and it will be a way of making money." Woolen cloth."

"Western Region?" It's okay if Liu Qian didn't mention the Western Region, but when he heard the word "Western Region", Liu An became even more unhappy. "Thousands of miles in the Western Regions, not to mention the difficulty of transshipment. Outside of the wilderness, how can there be rich people? This double-faced brocade has two golds and one bolt. Only the rich and powerful can afford it. If it is sold to the Western Regions, how many can you sell in a year?"

Liu Ling was already prepared. "Father, even if you don't sell it to the Western Regions, you can still make a lot of profit within the scope of my big man. I roughly estimated that a horse can make a profit of more than one gold, and selling a thousand horses a year is more than a thousand gold." Woolen cloth."

"You can use this thousand gold for yourself. If you can be self-sufficient, you will save the transfer fee." Liu An disagreed, and immediately changed the subject. "Will Yan Zhu use Huainan's troops when he goes to Kuaiji to quell the Minyue Rebellion?"

Liu Qian's face froze, a little unnaturally.

Liu Ling shook his head. "Judging from Yan Zhu's tone, the emperor seems unwilling to do anything big, and he didn't even use the tiger talisman. The empress dowager is still alive, so the emperor can't let go. But the empress dowager is over sixty years old, the king of Liang and the first emperor passed away successively, the empress dowager The Empress Dowager is sick from grief, and I'm afraid it won't last long."

Liu An let out a long sigh: "With the Empress Dowager here, the national policy will not be in chaos. If the Empress Dowager dies one day, what should I do? By the way, is there any movement from the Empress? Is there any sign of pregnancy?"

"The eldest princess is seeking medical treatment in all directions. I haven't heard of any signs of pregnancy yet, but Emperor Xinna's Wei Zifu is pregnant."

Liu An's complexion immediately darkened.

Liu Ling casually glanced at Wu Bei.Wu Bei understood, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the three caves of the cunning rabbit are a long-term plan. In the name of doing business, it is a well-established plan to patrol overseas."

Liu An was upset. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. However, this is just a way out. It is not a last resort, and you should not retreat lightly. How can my dignified ancestors live overseas, abandon their Chinese clothes, and serve the people of the left? .”

Liu Qian said nonchalantly: "What the father said is true. The father is a noble person, and his movements and movements are the world's view. How can he exile himself and keep company with birds and beasts. In the next hundred years, how will he face Emperor Gao and the previous kings?" If my sister is interested, you might as well give it a try, anyway, you get along very well with these scumbags."

Liu Ling glanced at Liu Qian and snorted inadvertently.Seeing this, Liu Qian also twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a smug smile.

Wu Bei sighed secretly, and said again: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Son of Heaven passes through Huainan, and Huainan has the duty of escort. If the envoy is in danger in Huainan, it may damage the reputation of the King. I suggest that you send armored soldiers to escort the envoy out of the country. Be safe."

Liu An thought about it and agreed. "Wu Jun, you are responsible for this matter."

"Father, I want to go too." Liu Ling asked for orders. "I want to go to Jiangdu and Kuaiji to see. If there are maritime trade routes, there should be Hu merchants in Jiangdu and Kuaiji."

Liu An had nothing to do, but he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Ling's sudden enthusiasm for doing business. "Don't delay too long, Chang'an cannot live without you."

Liu Ling smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, I will come back as soon as I go, and I will definitely not delay the business."
