Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 244 Liu Ling Offers Treasure
Liang Xiao originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk about this matter with Mo Cai, but Mo Cai took the initiative to talk about it, which hit his heart.

"Vice King, what do you think of the Wusun people? Is it possible for them to invade Dawan?"

Mei Cai frowned, turned and looked out the window for a while.In the distance, the team of Wusun envoys could be clearly seen. Tuban crouched on the car like a bear, with a thick back, revealing an indescribable arrogance.Thinking of Tuban's arrogance in the hall, Mei Cai shuddered and looked away.

"I'm afraid... it will be a matter of time."

"How late is late, how early is early?"

Mei Cai smacked her lips in embarrassment, not wanting to answer Liang Xiao's question.Liang Xiao sighed, stretched out his hand to press Mei Cai's hand, and patted it lightly.

"Vice King, I know that this question may embarrass you. However, we Han people have a saying, plan ahead, and some things can be avoided if you don't have to hide. If the Yuezhi people are a wolf with a broken leg, Then the Wusun people with the support of the Huns are leopards, would you rather face wolves or leopards?"

Mei Cai smiled wryly: "So, your envoy still wants to go to Yuezhi?"

"My mission is to find allies who can deal with the Huns. The Dawan people dare not even face the Wusun people. How can I expect you to fight the Huns? I can only pin my hope on the Yuezhi people. However, Please rest assured, Vice King, I will never help the Yuezhi people attack Dawan. I will do my best to make the Yuezhi and Dawan live in peace."

"With the strength of a big man, can't you conquer the Xiongnu?"

"The big man is indeed strong, but the big man also has shortcomings." Liang Xiao paused for a moment. "The big man lacks horses."

Mo Cai blurted out. "We have horses."

"But Dawan's horses are difficult to send to the Han. For now, Dawan's horses will only become tributes to the Wusun people and the Huns, and in turn trample on the land of Dawan."

Mei Cai let out a long sigh, but stopped talking.

Liang Xiao didn't say anything more.The people of Dawan are really too weak, and it is really difficult to cheer them up all at once. We can only slowly beat the side drums to remind them of the danger, and see if they can wake up.

"When are you going to leave?"

"It's not tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow." Liang Xiao was a little anxious. "I've been wasting too much time and have to speed up."

"Wait for another two days. Your Majesty may still need to discuss with you. After all the discussions are over, I will ask your Majesty to arrange for someone to take you there."

Liang Xiao glanced at Mo Cai, and felt that there was something in his words, and there seemed to be something hidden.Mei Cai turned his face away in embarrassment, pretending not to see Liang Xiao's inquiring gaze.

Liang Xiao couldn't ask any more questions.When the posthouse arrived, he got out of the car, Mei Cai turned around and went straight away.Liang Xiao returned to the post house, looked at the Wusun people who had just got off the car in the distance, frowned, and glanced at Tu Niu'er.

Tu Niuer blinked. "How about I go there in the middle of the night, kill that guy, and grab that bow?"

Liang Xiao shook his head. "No, those guys around him are not ordinary people, you can't deal with it alone. It's not worth paying your life for a bow. Let's find another chance, this guy is not convinced, wait for me Take a pick and see if you can find a flaw."

Tu Niu'er laughed. "Hey, Xiao, this guy deserves to be unlucky. What treasure is not easy to give away, so I have to bring a bow."

"Who says it's not." Liang Xiao shrugged and laughed.

The Tuban who just got off the car in the distance had a weak leg, stepped on the air, and fell off the car with a somersault. A dog ate shit and lay heavily on the ground.

-

Chang'an, Maoling.

Liu Ling was dressed in men's clothing, standing in the courtyard of Liang's family, looking suave and graceful, with the jade tree facing the wind.Liang Wei raised her hand to invite. "My lord, please take a seat in the hall."

Liu Ling agreed, turning his head while going to the hall.At the corner, Moon helped Hu Xijun, who was about to give birth, and hurried into the inner courtyard. Before leaving, she turned her head to look at Liu Ling.It was that look that made Liu Ling feel strange.

"Who is that?"

"That's my sister-in-law, she's nine months old, and she's going to give birth in a few days, she must be a fat kid." Tu Hua'er directed a maid to serve drinks, and said with a smile.She is aggressive by nature, and has met Liu Ling many times, so she has no sense of fear, and is much more at ease than Li Rongqing.

"I mean the bearded girl."

"She, her name is Yue Yue, she is from Donghu..."

Liang Yu coughed, interrupted Tu Hua'er, and signaled her to keep talking.Tu Hua'er is a good hand at work, and Li Rongqing is not as good as Li Rongqing in dealing with people and things.It's just that I don't know what it is for today, Li Rongqing didn't come out, but Tu Hua'er was in charge of serving.

"She was a beard girl captured by A Xiao when he was in Yanmen. A Xiao went to the Western Regions, and she was sent to Chang'an by the prefect of Yanmen."

Liu Ling smiled and spoke bluntly. "Is she pregnant?"

"Uh..." Liang Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded. "yes."

Liu Ling giggled. "Congratulations madam, you are going to have a grandson soon. At that time, please let me know. Even if I am not in Chang'an, I will send someone to send a congratulatory gift. This is Liang Xiao's first child. People, but it will not be long before the emperor conquers the Xiongnu, and the Hu people will also be the people of the Han people. The Huayi family will change into Xia, and the Liang family is a sign."

Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her again and again.Liu Ling didn't bring up this topic again, but instead talked about the dividend.The end of the year is approaching, and she came here in person today to settle the bill with the Liang family.Because of being grounded, she seldom comes to Chang'an, and plans to bring all the new looms and weavers back to Huainan.She originally planned to invite Liang Yu to Huainan, but now that the Liang family has settled down in Maoling, it is probably unlikely.

Liu Ling and Liang Yu agreed that although Liang Yu would not go to Huainan, she and Liang Xiao would pay according to the share they had agreed upon, and they would send someone to bring it every year in the future.

The attendants brought up the gold and placed it on the hall.Liang Yu just glanced at it and felt something was wrong.

"My lord, is it too much?"

"Not much." Liu Ling chuckled and said, "I'm a businessman, and no one should try to take advantage of me. However, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, so he will never treat people who treat me badly. There are a total of [-] gold here, except for the [-] gold which is the share of this year, the other [-] gold is the down payment of the colored glaze business that Liang Xiao and I cooperated with. The colored glaze has just started production and has not yet produced profits, so this year can only be thought about."

Liang Yu was at a loss.Liang Xiao never mentioned to her about cooperating with Liu Ling to produce colored glaze.Does Liang Xiao know how to make colored glaze?

Liu Ling smiled like a flower, and ordered someone to fetch a brocade box, took out a pure and flawless glass statue from inside, and presented it to Liang Yu with both hands. "This is the glazed statue I made according to Liang Xiao's instructions. This is the bow-wielding feathered man who is an immortal from the Western Regions. Does it look like Liang Xiao?"

Liang Yu looked at the statue carefully, both surprised and delighted.She has seen a lot of colored glaze, but it is the first time she has seen such a beautiful, clear and transparent colored glaze, and the colored glaze made into statues is even more unheard of.According to her estimate, this statue is worth a hundred gold.

Ah Xiao, how close are you and this old man? Why didn't you tell me about this matter?

-

Liu Ling left Maoling, and after walking not far, he was stopped by Yiqi.

Han Yan rode a bay red horse, gently shaking the golden whip, came to Liu Ling's car, and said with a smile: "My lord, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Liu Ling was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.She led a horse, took out a brocade box from the cart, jumped on the horse, and followed Han Yan to leave the main road.Now this area is within the scope of Shanglin Garden, ordinary people are forbidden to enter, and the emperor finally does not have to show his face as Marquis of Pingyang.

The two of them drove for three to five miles through the forest and came to an open place.The emperor was dressed in a strong outfit, and shot down a deer a hundred paces away with one arrow. He couldn't help but smile happily.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and said with a smile, "My younger sister looks so good in a military uniform. I'm afraid she was a man in her previous life."

Liu Ling stepped forward to salute with a smile. "Your Majesty is heroic and commanding. He must have been an invincible general in his previous life."

The emperor raised his eyebrows. "Really? My sister thinks, who is the better general between me and Liang Xiao?"

"When it comes to generals, you are not equal. When it comes to generals, Liang Xiao is a mere man, how can he be compared with His Majesty."

"Hahaha..." The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed. "Sister's words made me feel a little flustered. Sister, you haven't come to Chang'an for a long time, you won't just bring me some nice words, right? I heard that Huainan Kingdom's business has been doing well recently, and many new products have been released. How about it? Can you let me see it too?"

"There is a treasure to be presented to His Majesty." Liu Ling said, offering the brocade box in his hands.

The emperor took it with a smile, opened it, and saw a golden round tube lying in the brocade box.He picked it up and looked at it repeatedly. There was a transparent glazed piece at each end of the cylinder.

"This is the glass you newly developed?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. "The ones that are given to others are all gods, strange beasts, and big treasures, but this is the one that was given to me? My sister is too stingy."

"How can immortals and strange beasts compare to this treasure. Your Majesty, why don't you lift it up and look at it from afar."

The emperor held it up suspiciously, and Liu Ling taught him how to turn the golden tube. After a while, the emperor suddenly exclaimed: "So it is."

Liu Ling smiled triumphantly. "Your Majesty, is it better than gods and beasts?"

The emperor put down the golden tube, looked into the distance, raised it up again, repeated several times, and then nodded again and again with a smile on his face. "Well, it is indeed good."

"Then... can this treasure be worth an imperial edict?"

The emperor tilted his head and glanced at Liu Ling, with a smile on his lips. "What does my sister want?"

"I want to form a fleet to travel between the Central Plains and the South China Sea, to find more exotic animals from overseas for His Majesty, to earn some small money, and to make up for the nearly empty purse."

"Are you still short of money?" The emperor smiled meaningfully.

"Who made me too curious." Liu Ling sighed. "In order to make this treasure, His Majesty Bo smiled, I spent nearly a thousand gold. If my father didn't favor me, I don't know when it will be successful."

The emperor glanced at the golden tube in his hand, thought for a moment, and his expression gradually eased. "This thousand dollars is worth it. It's so worth it. It's not as simple as a smile. Okay, I'm sure. Sister, if you have such a good thing in the future, you must tell me as soon as possible."
