Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 186 Cupid and Yuren
Liuli is glass.

China has had glass for a long time, but Chinese people have a strong jade complex. Glass appeared as a substitute for jade, so instead of pursuing to make it pure and transparent, it deliberately made it opaque in order to have the warmth of jade, isn’t it? So clear.

It has to be said that this kind of psychology may be one of the reasons why microscopes and telescopes failed to appear first in China.

Glass in the Han Dynasty was called Liuli, which was very common for powerful families, and even ordinary families had the opportunity to see it.However, it is very rare for this Hushi market to be filled with glazed products, so not only Liang Xiao was a little surprised, but even Liu Ling was delighted to see Lie Xin, and without any explanation, he grabbed Liang Xiao's hand and rushed in.

Liang Xiao had limited surprises towards Liuli, but Liu Ling took the initiative to hold his hand.

Except for close relatives, Han people generally seldom touch other people's bodies. Strangers bow to each other as a courtesy, and no matter how close they are, they will keep their distance.Talking on the knees is already a symbol of extreme intimacy.Things like holding hands often have other meanings.

For example, hold the hand of the son and grow old together with the son.

Liang Xiao knew that Liu Ling had a crush on him, and knew that Liu Ling was not an ordinary woman, but holding hands so quickly and in public, it seemed...

Come and not reciprocate indecently.Knowing that Lei Bei was following behind, Liang Xiao probably saw their holding hands, and wanted to draw out his sword very much. He chopped off his arm with one sword, but he held Liu Ling's little hand backhand.

Liu Ling didn't look back, but his ears turned red.Her hand moved in Liang Xiao's palm, but instead of breaking free, she held on tighter.She rushed into the Liuli shop, looked around, amazed, her voice was unnaturally loud.

Lei was followed, holding the sword, with a sullen face, and stood murderously towards the door.Those who were planning to enter the store immediately stopped in their tracks. Even the customers who were in the store felt the difference in the atmosphere. They quickly held their breath and carefully squeezed past Lei Bei.

After a while, apart from Liang Xiao and Liu Ling, there was only the barbarian shop owner with a pale complexion and cold sweat dripping down his face.

Liu Ling didn't realize it, she seemed to be quite used to this kind of private shopping.She walked from the left to the right, and then from the front to the back, admiring each piece, with great interest and forgetfulness.One finger pointed back and forth: "This! This!" The other hand kept hooking Liang Xiao's hand and did not let go.

The shopkeeper followed behind, his face pale and red for a while.Bai was terrified, and Liu Ling was scurrying around like a rabbit. The shop owner was very worried that she might break something.Looking at this posture, this is not an ordinary person, and the swordsman at the door is even more vicious. It is a question of whether he will be compensated if he breaks something.Hong was excited. It could be seen that there were quite a lot of things Liu Ling wanted to buy.After all, Liuli is a luxury item, and there are not many opportunities to meet such a big customer.

"Wait, I want this." Liu Ling stopped suddenly, pointed to a glazed statue, turned to look at Liang Xiao, his face was bright red, and his eyes were bright. "Ah Xiao, do you think this Yuren looks like you?" As soon as the words came out, his face turned as red as an apple.It was the first time she had called Liang Xiao like that after a long time of acquaintance.

Liang Xiao looked up and saw that it was a statue of Cupid, he couldn't help laughing: "You said this is Yuren?"

"Yeah, look at the wings on his back, that's the feathered man who has become an immortal." Liu Ling turned his head and stared at the fat curly boy with a bare buttocks and a small bow, his eyes shining brightly. "Also, look at him holding a bow and arrow, he must be a good archer, just like you. I want to buy this."

Liang Xiao was speechless.You can really imagine that it is Cupid, but you are actually a Yuren.

"It's true that this guy can shoot arrows, but he's not a feathered man." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "He's a god in Roman mythology, a great country in the Western Regions. His arrow skills are good, but the people he shoots won't die. , Of course, it is also possible that life is worse than death."

Liu Ling looked at Liang Xiao with a smile in his eyes, like a little fox. "why?"

"He's a bit like Yuelao in our Central Plains, who specializes in marriage. He has two kinds of arrows. One kind of arrow hits you, and you fall in love, love to death, like an idiot. The other kind of arrow hits you. , you will hate because of love, even a couple in need will turn against each other and part ways."

"Really? That's really naughty." Liu Ling rolled his eyes and giggled again: "Are you going to hide it from me?"

Liang Xiao smiled wryly: "My Lord has already inquired about my details, so why should I keep it a secret? It's better to be honest and ask for leniency." He paused, and then said: "My Lord, I don't want to Dare to say it is exhaustive, but I dare say that the plan I made for the Weng Lord is out of sincerity. I hope the Weng Lord will think about it carefully."

Liu Ling avoided Liang Xiao's eyes, and the blush on his face gradually dissipated.She quietly let go of Liang Xiao's hand, looked at the Cupid statue with all her attention, and said after a long time: "Liang Xiao, I believe in you. However, whether you can resign depends on whether my father is willing or not." , and second, it depends on whether the emperor is willing or not. Neither of these two things is up to me. I can only try my best to persuade them."

Liang Xiao nodded.Liu Ling was right. Whether this matter will be successful or not is indeed not up to Liu Ling to decide.

Liu Ling turned his head and asked softly: "If Huainan is enfeoffed in Yue, are you willing to join my shogunate?"

Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment.He has been planning for Liu Ling, but never thought about this issue.If the king of Huainan moved to a remote place and avoided the disaster of destroying the country, would he be willing to enter the shogunate and serve Liu Ling from then on?

He didn't know, but he knew very well that at least he didn't have that strong desire.

Before Liang Xiao could answer, Liu Ling smiled. "I know that your determination to make contributions has not faded, and you are not willing to lie in the palace. It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly, the gate of the palace is open for you at any time."

"Thank you, my lord."

Liu Ling smiled, waved his hand, called the shopkeeper, and pointed to the Cupid statue. "I want this, how much is it?"

The shopkeeper smiled and held out a hand. "Your Majesty is really discerning. This feathered man looks like the owner of my shop. I didn't intend to sell it. Even if I like it, you can buy it now, fifty gold."

"Fifty gold, so expensive?" Liu Ling frowned, and stopped reaching into his purse. "How about this, you keep it for me, I will withdraw the money later, and I will get it later."

The shopkeeper's face immediately sank, and the smile on his face became a little forced. "Look, Mr. Lang is a foreigner?"

Liu Ling was taken aback, but Liang Xiao frowned. He swept his eyes and saw a few strong figures faintly looming behind the shop, and the sound of several heavy footsteps was clearly distinguishable, and he was immediately startled.Liuli is a valuable item. It is impossible for this shop owner to have such a big shop here without some influence.Customers bully the store, and the store bullies the customers. This is the rhythm of blackmailing people.

He took a step forward, covered Liu Ling behind him, and said with a fake smile: "No matter how foreigner is, he is also a citizen of my big man. Can he be farther than you, a barbarian who crossed the ocean? Are you with me?" Dou Qufei has friendship, or is there a connection? Tell me your name, and I want to see who it is."

Although Liang Xiao was not familiar with the Kuaiji accent, he had stayed with Wang Xing and others for a while, so he knew a thing or two.He immediately reported Dou Qufei's name, and called him by his first name, just to tell the shopkeeper not to act rashly.You have a background, and we have a background.

The shop owner's expression faltered for a moment, and he forced a smile and said, "Mr. misunderstood, I didn't mean that. It's just that you have been looking at it for so long, which has delayed my business a lot. Now if you want to buy my treasure of the town shop, I will sell it for you." I bought the best price, but you don't buy it, isn't it...?"

"It's not that we don't buy it, it's just that you're asking for a lot of money."

"Mr. Lang, why did you say that? Look at this statue of a feather figure, which is pure in texture and vivid in expression. It is a rare treasure among thousands..."

"What treasure, it's just a defective product." Liang Xiao sneered, interrupting the shopkeeper's bragging. "Don't think I don't know, this is the Cupid of Rome, not my feathered man. Are there any feathered men of my big man without clothes?"

The shopkeeper was stunned.Just now Liang Xiao and Liu Ling were whispering, he could only stand far away, he really didn't hear what Liang Xiao said about Cupid.Hearing this, he immediately knew that the young man in front of him was not easy to deceive.He rolled his eyes and said again: "You said that the treasure of my town store is a defective product?"

"Cupid uses archery to decide love and hate. Now he has drawn his bow fully, so it can be seen that it has not been shot yet, but what about his arrow? If he has already shot it, why is he still hooking the string? In my opinion, it is a broken arrow. So it was burned by you, right?"

Liang Xiao picked up the Cupid statue, pointed at the burn marks between the bows, and winked at the shopkeeper.There are traces of trimming here, and the lines are not clear enough. Compared with other parts, it is obviously damaged.

The owner was embarrassed.

"You take out a complete one now, and I can buy it for hardware. If not, then we will say goodbye."

Liu Ling hid behind Liang Xiao, very surprised.Is there a second glass statue like this?She grabbed Liang Xiao's arm, poked her head out from behind Liang Xiao, and carefully looked at the shopkeeper's expression, but saw the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"really?"

"Why should I lie to you?" Liang Xiao took out five gold cakes from his pocket and weighed them in front of the shopkeeper.The owner's blue eyes suddenly turned into golden eyes, and followed the gold cakes up and down.He stretched out his finger and hooked it.There was a sound of footsteps behind the shop, and a blond-haired and bead-eyed maid came over, holding an identical statue of Cupid, but complete with a bow and arrow.

Liu Ling's eyes widened immediately, and he took a deep breath.

Liang Xiao checked the Cupid statue carefully, then threw the gold cake to the shopkeeper, turned around and pulled Liu Ling out the door.Under the sun, Cupid seems to refract the sun and emit a brilliant light.Liu Ling couldn't help being overjoyed, snatched the Cupid statue, and couldn't put it down.

"The Rome you mentioned is the Norman mentioned by Hu Shang in Guangling?"

"It should be. They are all transliterations, and there will inevitably be some corruption."

"How do you know that this statue is only worth hardware, and there are exactly the same ones in the store?"

"Let me tell you the truth, hardware is expensive. I don't think it costs a single piece of gold, and a few thousand dollars would be great. Glass can be melted and reshaped by heating, but the purity of the texture is slightly lacking. He said that these are all It came from across the ocean, but it still works in the past, so it is natural to reshape the broken things to reduce losses."
