Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 230 The Legacy of Greece
With Guo Wenbin's support, Liang Xiao walked out of the tent slowly.

The tent stands beside a large lake, the blue water of the lake is sparkling and golden in the winter sun.The dark green grassland spreads along the lake, boundless. A flock of sheep are scattered by the lake, running freely on the grass, raising their voices from time to time.

Dozens of war horses without saddles and bridles were grazing by the lake, and a black-haired boy was riding a horse, shaking his whip, galloping briskly on the grassland.

Andrea spread a blanket on the ground, and Liang Xiao sat down on the blanket. Looking at the scenery in front of him, he suddenly felt refreshed. If you want to live here for a long time, it doesn't matter if you are a Yuezhi or a Hun.

Andrea turned around and entered the tent, and helped Xie Guanglong out.Most of Xie Guanglong's face was covered with cloth, and there were still some bloodstains.But this didn't affect him flirting with Andrea at all, which made Andrea's face turn red and her eyes water.

"This stallion." Li Shuyun limped over, sat down beside Liang Xiao, and handed over a handful of raisins. "My lord, try it, it's really sweet."

Liang Xiao took it and looked at Li Shuyun's legs. "How is your injury?"

Li Shuyun patted lightly. "It's okay, it will be fine in two days, whether it's riding a horse or riding a man, it's not a problem."

"Aren't you a stallion?" Xie Guanglong walked over, curled his lips, dismissive. "Don't forget who was the first to steal the fish."

Li Shuyun smiled awkwardly, ignored Xie Guanglong, and said sternly: "My lord, we have been delayed for several days, we can't stay here anymore, it's better to set off as soon as possible and rush to Yueshi."

Liang Xiao nodded.King Hunxie was ordered to assist Wusun in attacking Yuezhi, but he killed King Hunxie and his son. Once King Wusun found his trace, he would definitely send a large army to hunt him down.In addition, the other sons of King Hunxie will not let it go, maybe they are on their way.

"What good advice do you have?"

"Rush to the Da Yuezhi as soon as possible, and prepare the Da Yuezhi to avoid being defeated by the Wusun people and the Huns."

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Do you know what I'm worried about? I'm worried that the Dayue clan would no longer dare to fight the Wusun people, and they'd rather stay away."

"No way, they will abandon their homeland and prefer to stay in a foreign land?"

"Where are nomads' hometowns?" Liang Xiao smiled wryly: "Tents are their homes, wherever they are suitable for grazing and living, that's their home."

Li Shuyun froze for a moment, very surprised.

For him from the mainland, this is a completely different way of thinking.For the Han people, it's not bad for a good man to aim for difficulties in all directions, but it's human nature for fallen leaves to return to their roots.When the Han army went out to fight, even if they were thousands of miles away from home, the remains of the soldiers who died in battle would be transported back to their hometown for burial.People on this grassland don't even want their hometown?
Sure enough, a savage.

"What are you going to do, my lord?"

"It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There is only one way to make the Yuezhi people and the Xiongnu die: let them have nowhere to go, and can only fight with their backs."

"This...how can it be done?"

"I don't know too well." Liang Xiao shook his head. "Let's take a step and take a step. Go to Dawan first, let the brothers have a good time, and then worry about it. Shu Yun, our mission this time is not easy. You have to be mentally prepared and pay more attention."

Li Shuyun looked at Liang Xiao and nodded.Liang Xiao meant to treat him as his confidant by saying this, how could he not know.

"My lord, when are you leaving?" Xie Guanglong couldn't hold back when he heard Da Wan. "Also, we are so poor, how can we be happy with money?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Even if I borrow money, I will definitely let you get what you want."

"That sounds enjoyable." Xie Guanglong slapped his thigh and grinned happily.

Liang Xiao and the others sat on the blanket and chatted, but Andrea pulled a cart, took out the things in the tent one by one, loaded them on the cart, and then went to dismantle the tent, as if she was going to move. look.Liang Xiao was very curious. He knew that nomads would often move, but it's still not too cold, and the pastures seem to be very lush. It's far from the point where they want to move. Why did they suddenly want to leave?

My injury is not healed yet.

Seeing Liang Xiao's curiosity, Guo Wenbin explained: "My lord, this was originally the pasture of the Wusun people. After the Wusun people were defeated by the Yuezhi people, the Dawan people slowly invaded this pasture, and at the farthest point they went all the way to the mountain pass. Edong. Now that the Wusun people have the support of the Huns, they are rising again. They cannot get too close. If the Wusun people find out, they will be in big trouble."

"Is it so serious?" Liang Xiao didn't think so.For nomadic peoples, the strong are respected, the Huns are strong, they are attached to the Huns, and Wusun is strong, they are attached to Wusun. Where are they living differently? What is the difference?
"My lord, I don't know that the old man Andrew's family is not a local race, but a western barbarian, who came here a hundred years ago. Although they are poor now and can only live by herding cattle, they look down on these barbarians and are unwilling to be ruled by them."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized.No wonder the name of this family is not the same as that of the Huns. It turns out that they are Greeks.Isn't Apollo the sun god in Greek mythology?He couldn't help laughing, it's the same thing, people have the same heart, even though the Greeks have been reduced to grazing for a living, they still can't forget the nobility of the conqueror.

Guo Wenbin continued: "They originally wanted to leave two days ago, but your lord has not woken up. They were afraid of delaying his injury, so they took the risk to stay here. Now that your lord is awake, they are naturally anxious to leave."

Liang Xiao was very grateful.For a person who has never met before, it takes a certain amount of warrior spirit to be able to do this.No wonder old Andrew was so excited, not only for Liang Xiao, but also for his own pride as a warrior.

"Let's help together." Liang Xiao stood up. "I moved around and lay down for a few days, feeling like my bones were rusting."

"Can you do it?"

"No problem." Liang Xiao waved his hand, indicating that Li Shuyun and Guo Wenbin don't have to worry.He stood up carefully, walking slowly while shaking his arms and doing some stretching exercises.He has practiced archery for more than a year, practicing hard every day, the action of drawing the bow and setting the arrow has been integrated into the blood, even the unconscious movements are like opening the bow.

When Li Shuyun and others saw him, they thought he was going to practice and it was inconvenient to watch from the sidelines, so they all went to help Andrea dismantle the tent.

Liang Xiao walked casually on the grassland, swinging his arms, but involuntarily began to recall the experience of the past month in his mind.Ever since he shot and killed Guluhu, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't pay attention at the time, and then he was busy running for his life and didn't have time to think about it.Now, with a lot of free time, he can finally think about this issue.

It's just that he couldn't think of any problem at the moment.After more than a month of tempering, he has made great progress in both riding and archery, even compared with the Huns.Being able to escape from the pursuit of King Hunxie and his elite guards has already proved this point.

However, he still felt that there was a problem, and it was a very serious problem.

"Hey!" The short-haired young man with black horse ran over on a bay red horse, raised his hand, greeted Liang Xiao, and raised the bow in his hand with a smile.The boy holds the rein in his left hand and the bow in his right hand, making him look like a left-handed person.

Liang Xiao had a flash of inspiration, he knew what he was thinking.

The right side of the shooter is the soft spot.If Guo Wu hadn't covered him, he might have been killed in the battle against Guluhu.

Guo Wu can shoot left and right. Although his shooting skills are not outstanding, this skill is not possessed by many people.The vast majority of people are born with right-handed flexibility, so they hold the bow with their left hand and draw the string with their right hand. Only a very small number of people who are born left-handed, or who practice hard the day after tomorrow can shoot left and right.

The benefits of double shooting left and right are obvious: there is no dead angle, and when you are attacking the enemy, you don't have to deliberately grab the opponent's right side.

Liang Xiao laughed, raised his hand, and greeted the boy with a nod.

"Can you...can you teach me... how to archery?" The young man came to Liang Xiao and got off his horse.He is not yet an adult, he looks only six feet five inches tall, only reaching Liang Xiao's shoulders, his body is not considered strong, but he is very agile, he is a good material for learning archery.

Liang Xiao was very surprised. Although the young man's Chinese was very blunt and some pronunciations were wrong, he could at least understand the meaning.

"You...can speak Chinese?"

The boy pinched his fingertips and said with a smile: "One... a little bit, one... a little bit. My name is...Paris, can I... learn archery from you?"

Liang Xiao was overjoyed, stretched out his hands and pinched Paris's shoulders, slowed down his speech, and said word by word: "Do you know the rules of our Han people? To learn art, you need to have a teacher, a teacher for a day, and a father for life."

Paris blinked his eyes, obviously not quite understanding.He scratched his head. "I just want to learn archery, why do I recognize you as my father? Do you want to adopt me as an adopted son?"

When he was in a hurry, what he said was a bit messy, and Liang Xiao couldn't understand.He had no choice but to call Guo Wenbin and ask Guo Wenbin to translate.After hearing Paris' doubts, Guo Wenbin laughed first.

"My lord, although Xiyi people don't value family affection like us Han people, and often have unethical things, they are very serious about adopting children. Adopted children have the same inheritance rights as their own children. Paris said that he just wanted to ask you to teach him a little archery." He didn't mean to recognize you as a adoptive father. He said that you are too close in age to be a father and son."

Liang Xiao pulled Paris over and asked him to shoot two arrows.Paris was very excited, and drew his bow and arrow.Seeing his bow posture, Liang Xiao laughed.This is obviously no one to point out, and I fumbled and practiced by myself.If it’s okay to practice and play, I really want to take this as a way of making a living, and within a few years there will be many unexplained illnesses.

"You really want to be an archer?"

"Of course, I'm Paris." Paris raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly, "I want to marry a woman as beautiful as Helen."

Helen?Liang Xiao suddenly realized that Paris's name sounded familiar.My dear, this kid has great ambitions.
