Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 141 Using the Tongue as an Arrow
Zheng Fang followed Zheng Er, only Liang Xiao and Zhong Liqi were left sitting by the bonfire, and twenty archers stood more than ten steps away, watching their surroundings vigilantly. There are no shadows.

"Master has trained these people well." Liang Xiao said while chewing on the wild pheasant's leg.

Zhong Liqi glared at Liang Xiao, meaning you don't need to say that?
"However, to be honest, Uncle Zhongli, you have caused trouble for my master this time." Liang Xiao turned a blind eye to Zhong Liqi's anger, and said slowly: "If my guess is right, the master wants you to kill Yan directly." Your Excellency, then plant the blame on Hu Ji. In this way, even if the imperial court sends another envoy, it will take a month or two to go back and forth. By then, you will have returned to Minyue with the spoils, right?"

Zhong Liqi looked at Liang Xiao in surprise.

"Don't look at me that way, I can roughly guess what my master is thinking."

"That's right, the general thinks so. If it wasn't for your yelling, I would have broken Yan Zhu's neck at that time. How could this happen now..." Zhong Liqi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly closed his mouth. The wine gourd blocked his mouth.

"How can it be so troublesome now, right?" Liang Xiao chuckled. "It's not killing, it's not letting go, my master is really in a dilemma."

Zhong Liqi didn't speak, but his eyes were a little sad.Liang Xiao's words pierced his heart.He has been regretting it all the time, if he had killed Yan Zhu directly and quietly withdrew from Wangjiang Station, how could this happen now?

Liang Xiao watched Zhong Liqi from the corner of his eye, seeing Zhong Liqi's tangled face, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.He didn't continue to provoke Zhong Liqi, and instead chatted about other things. "Uncle Zhongli, how are you doing in Minyue?"

"What a bird." Zhong Liqi sighed. "It's better to be in Lizheng in Shili."

"I think the prince is fat, big-eared, and very rich, so he shouldn't be bad. Then again, shouldn't he try his best? Why is he so fat?"

Zhong Liqi rolled his eyes, not even interested in talking about Liu Ju.

Liang Xiao talked nonsense with Zhong Liqi without saying a word. Although Zhong Liqi didn't talk much, Liang Xiao still found out a lot of inside information.If he was with Huan Yuan, Liang Xiao wouldn't dare to say so many words, he couldn't hide his petty thoughts from Huan Yuan.But facing Zhong Liqi, his eloquence was enough.

Zhong Liqi's tongue was obviously not as good as his fist.Compared to fists, he is scum.Compared with the tongue, Zhong Liqi is scum.

Seemingly rambling, Liang Xiao could always inquire about something useful.Once Zhong Liqi became suspicious, he would talk about the scenery of Chang'an, the happy life of him, Tu Niu'er and others in Chang'an, and prevaricate it.When Zhong Liqi was fascinated by what he was listening to, he would pull it back.

Until the angry Zheng Er was dragged back by Zheng's side.

Wandered around the island in the middle of the night and only shot a small beaver.I don't know what the bad luck was, the beaver that should have been in the water bumped into Zheng Er's face, was shot through a big hole by an arrow, and died.

Liang Xiao patted his buttocks and stood up, raised the beaver and glanced at it, exaggeratingly said: "What a ferocious beast, it scared me to death."

"Hmph, if it wasn't for him..." Zheng Er was so angry that his lips changed color, his tears were watery, and he was about to cry again.

Liang Xiao shrugged and threw the beaver back to Zheng Er. "Forget it, you'd better shoot wild pheasants for fun. Such a good leather, shoot like this, tsk tsk tsk..."

Looking at Liang Xiao who was shaking his head and smacking his lips with a look of disdain, Zheng Er couldn't bear it anymore, and cried out loud.Liang Xiao folded his hands behind his back, sighed, and returned to the tent with a sway.When he reached the door of the tent, he turned his head again and shouted loudly, "Junior Sister, fetch me water, I need to wash my feet and rest."

"Shall I fetch water to wash your feet?" Zheng Er jumped three feet high, his eyes widened.

"You dare to be disrespectful to senior brother?" Liang Xiao's eyes were wider than Zheng Er's. "Don't think that I can't punish you without a bow in my hand. Senior brother didn't just call you that casually. Don't call you a barbarian..."

"Shut up!" Zhong Liqi was extremely depressed, and roared angrily, "Do you want me to wash your feet with water?"

"Uh - forget it then, I'm afraid of being struck by lightning." Liang Xiao obediently got back into the tent.

……

Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, a tall, fair-skinned dancer is dancing. Her slender waist is made of water, twisting and rippling, rippling in the hearts of the spectators.Her eyes are very charming, as if they can seduce people's souls, but they are thousands of miles away.

Yan Zhu looked at it with gusto, put his hands on the table, and tapped his fingers in time.Feeling Yan Zhu's emotions, the dancing girl couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Liu Ju saw it and rolled his eyes. "The envoy came from Chang'an, has he heard any new Fu, can you recite one for me?"

Yan Zhu bowed slightly. "Don't dare to obey orders. I don't know who your highness wants to listen to. Do you have any favorite Fu family?"

Liu Ju raised his thick and short eyebrows with interest. "Are you familiar with the gifts of each family?"

Yan Zhu smiled: "I don't dare, but I have heard of all famous fu masters in the world. Your Highness, you are in Minyue, have you ever heard of any fu masters?"

Liu Ju was slightly embarrassed.Minyue is a barbarian, and there are not many literate people, so there are no Fu writers.Even if someone could chant a few words, even he would look down on him, let alone a talent like Yan Zhu.Yan Zhu's words aroused his thoughts.Back then, there were thousands of followers in Wu State, and there were many Fu masters. Mei Cheng, a famous Fu master, was a doctor of Wu State. He once wrote Fu after watching the Guangling tide.

Now, only birdsong is left in my ears.For a moment, Liu Ju was melancholy.

Yan Zhu stood up, walked to the dancing girl, and said with a smile, "Listen to your accent, are you from Handan? Do you know "Ji Chu"?"

The dancer nodded quickly.Handan dancers are famous all over the world, and there are schools specializing in singing and dancing, teaching dances from all over the world.This dancer was bought by Liu Ju with a lot of money, and she stayed in Minyue for a few years. Minyue is the hometown of Chu, so she is naturally familiar with the famous song "Ji Chu" in the Chu song.

"I will sing, you will dance."

The dancer was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.Being able to dance together with the envoy of the emperor is also a good opportunity for her to increase her social status.

Yan Zhu turned around and bowed to Liu Ju: "Zhu Bucai, I would like to recite the new poem "Shanglin" for His Highness. This is the new work of Sima Xiangru, a native of Shu who just became a doctor not long ago. It is worth listening to."

Liu Ju was quite surprised. "Sima Xiangru? He went to Chang'an?"

"Yes, when His Majesty came to the throne, he recruited famous people from all over the world. Sima Xiangru became an official because of his gift. Such a holy family is very prosperous." Yan Zhu said calmly.

Together with the sound of music, the dancer danced again, and Yan Zhu recited "Shanglin Fu" aloud. "Ji Chu" is like a melody of Chu, the tune is passionate and high-pitched, and "Shanglin Fu" is wanton and vast. Under Yan Zhu's recitation, it is like a grand bell and a grand Lu, with a vigorous momentum, which adds a bit of heroism.

"So I carry the autumn and winter, the emperor's school hunting. Riding on the carved elephant, Liu Yuqiu, dragging the neon flag, the cloud flag, the front Pixuan, and the back road tour..."

Liu Ju caressed his half-worn belt hook, thinking of his former wealth and luxury, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
