Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 156 The Heart of a Villain
Liang Xiao was tired all day, exhausted from the pain in his body, and drank a lot of wine. Now that he met Qin Ge and others, his safety was finally guaranteed, and he relaxed a lot.Lying on the rickety bullock cart, looking up at the dark night sky, sleepiness flooded in like a tide, trying to drown him.

But for some reason, he couldn't fall asleep, his head was dizzy, and his eyelids were fighting like a millstone, but he just couldn't fall asleep.It seemed that something was always preventing him from falling asleep.

Liang Xiao was groggy, tossing and turning.

"The wound hurts again?" Wei Qing, who was still snoring just now, turned over, put one hand under his head, stretched out the other hand, and touched Liang Xiao's forehead. "It looks like it should be fine, are you nervous?"

Liang Xiao closed his eyes, excruciating pain. "No, I always feel something is wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong."

"I also feel this way." Wei Qing said sullenly, "Maybe it's because Minyue is so powerful that we are not safe yet."

Liang Xiao responded casually, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, pulled the wound, and suddenly there was a muffled pain, and cold sweat broke out.Qin Ge, who was leading the way in front of the bullock cart, heard this, slowed down his pace, raised the torch, bent down, and looked at Liang Xiao.

"what happened?"

Liang Xiao didn't care about the wound, he said in a hurry: "Brother Qin, after you escorted your lord back to the city, have you heard any rumors that are not good for your lord?"

Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "There are some, but I don't understand the local dialect very well, so I don't know what they say."

Liang Xiao hurriedly asked Qin Ge to call the two Weiyang Langs.Qin Ge didn't understand what he meant, but he did it anyway.As soon as Wei Yang Lang came, Liang Xiao asked anxiously: "After you arrived in Wu County, did anyone ask about Lord Yan's whereabouts?"

The two Weiyang Lang looked at each other and nodded.

Liang Xiao's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. "Then what did Li Jiao say? Did you cover it up for your lord?"

Wei Yanglang grinned, as if he felt that Liang Xiao's question was a bit strange.They were ordered to escort Yan Zhu, but Yan Zhu never took them seriously. He shouted and shouted at them, ordering them around. Li Jiao had accumulated a lot of resentment.

Seeing Weiyang Lang's expression, Liang Xiao immediately understood.Although the Yan family is a big family in Wu County, Yan Zhu himself is not a rich man. From Wang Xing's attitude towards him, it can be seen that his reputation among the villagers is very average, and his family situation is not very good.Returning home with festivals is the first step for him to return to his hometown. He has always been very proud of it, so he stayed in Jiangdu for two more days to enjoy the hospitality of Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu.

However, before returning to Wu County, he was hijacked at Wangjiang Station and fell heavily.Generally speaking, people with bad family backgrounds have low self-esteem, and they are especially afraid that people will look down on them and say that they are wrong.Yan Zhu has lost such a big face, can he not be impatient?

When he was at Wangjiang Station, why did he have to help Yan Zhu tidy up his clothes and step out?It is to maintain his dignity, don't let that look fall in the eyes of others, so as not to leave future troubles.When he was on the island, Yan Zhu cooperated so well, maybe it was because he understood his intentions and developed a good impression of him.

But Li Jiao obviously didn't understand this point. After he arrived in Wu County, he probably revealed the truth about Yan Zhu's robbery intentionally or unintentionally, and he might even make fun of Yan Zhu a few words in an embellished way.The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. If these words fall into the ears of those who are not dealing with Yan Zhu, then there will be a big problem.

If Yan Zhu, who wanted to show his face in front of the villagers, would not become angry if he was ridiculed?
Being humiliated in front of the villagers of Wu County will probably remind Yan Zhu.Losing face in his hometown is at most nothing more than losing face, and there is nothing else to lose, but if such things spread to the capital and the ears of the emperor, his future may be affected.If you want to nip these things in the bud, you must get rid of those who know the inside story.

Stimulating Li Jiao is probably the first step in killing someone with a borrowed knife.Li Jiao couldn't win the arrow competition with him, but could he still beat Master Huan Yuan?
Besides Li Jiao, who knew Yan Zhu's distressed state best?Him, Wei Qing, Qin Ge.

The three of them are in the wild now, and Minyue's thieves are looting everywhere. If there is an encounter, they will be in danger.

Although Liang Xiao was not [-]% sure, he felt that the possibility was very high.Otherwise, with the current tense situation, no matter how bookish Yan Zhu is, he should know to keep a swordsman like Qin Ge by his side instead of sending him out to find him.

You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.Yan Zhu is not a moral gentleman, he is a political strategist towards Qin Muchu, it is unrealistic to expect him to be strict with himself, treat others generously, and laugh off insults.A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, is his most likely reaction.

In fact, this may also be the choice of the vast majority of Han Chinese.The only difference lies in whether to directly attack the door with a knife, or to use tricks.

"Where are there fewer thieves?"

"What did you say?" Qin Ge didn't feel overwhelmed yet, his IQ was obviously not as good as his swordsmanship.

"I said, it's too dangerous for us to go this way. Once we encounter plundering thieves, we are outnumbered and may encounter trouble. Hurry up, you can go, what should we do?"

Qin Ge was taken aback for a moment, but also became nervous.Before the three of them rode on horseback, even if they encountered the Yue thieves who had an advantage in numbers, they could still run away if they couldn't beat them.Now there are two more seriously injured, Liang Xiao and Wei Qing, they can't get up quickly, once they are surrounded, the whole army is likely to be wiped out.

"Then what do we do?"

Liang Xiao turned around and said to the man driving the ox cart: "Don't be in a hurry to go to the county seat, stay away from the Yue thieves first, and go to the place where they are least likely to go."

The man responded, pulled the old cow, and walked north.Minyue people came to plunder, they would not go to wasteland without people.He is a local, so he naturally knows where is the safest place.

Realizing the danger, Qin Ge asked the two officials to put out the torches and be careful while asking Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao was also not polite, he talked about his worries, and finally emphasized that this is just his own guess, not necessarily the truth, maybe Yan Zhu is not as bad as he imagined.These two sentences were like adding fuel to the fire. Qin Ge's face turned pale with anger. Although Wei Qing didn't speak, he was aware of the danger, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Liang Xiao was lying on the bullock cart.He guessed the hidden murderous intent, but relaxed, and fell asleep after a while.

In the dream, he dreamed of Yan Zhu, Huan Yuan, and Liu Ling, and what surprised him even more was that he actually dreamed of Jiangdu King Liu Fei.When I woke up from the dream, I squinted my eyes, looking at the early morning sun in the distance, and was in a trance for a while.

He met Liu Fei a few times, but apart from Liu Fei's fondness for him, a young man from Guangling, he didn't have much contact with him.Liu Fei appearing in his dream is really unreasonable.

"Ah Xiao, it's almost dawn, what should we do now? Do you want to go back to the city?"

Just as Liang Xiao was about to nod his head in agreement, he suddenly had an idea. "No, let's rest here." Liang Xiao sat up, scratched his head, pinched a lice out of his sticky and knotted hair, and strangled it to death naturally with his nails.Listening to the crisp "cracking" sound, Liang Xiao couldn't help feeling that he did as the Romans did—it was fine if he didn't wash his hair for ten and a half months, but he still had lice.What's even more exaggerated is that he was not surprised at all.

"Brother Qin..." Liang Xiao looked at the blood and dirt on his nails, and his heart moved. "Master Yan, please come here quietly. I have thought of a plan to defeat the enemy, and I want to discuss it with him."
