Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 258 Supervisor's City

Liang Xiao was stunned for a long while before carefully pushing Beta away and getting out of bed.

The tent door slammed lightly, and Sigma poked his head in, glanced at Liang Xiao, and smiled. "Master is awake?"

Liang Xiao nodded in embarrassment. "What time is it?"

"It's almost dawn." Sigma walked in, wrapped in a cold air, and there was still some thin snow on his helmet and shoulder armor.She walked quickly to the side of the three Alphas, touched them with her cold hands, and said with a smirk: "Slackers, get up quickly."

As expected of Amazon female warriors, the three screamed almost at the same time, turned over and sat up, and entered the fighting state.When they saw their appearance clearly, they were immediately overwhelmed with shame, and hurriedly looked around for their clothes.Seeing the three slim figures flashing in the tent, Liang Xiao suddenly felt his nose itch, and a certain part began to move again.

"Master, you are amazing." Sigma covered her mouth and glanced at Liang Xiao. "The princess will be very happy if she finds out."

Liang Xiao followed Sigma's gaze, looked at the restless part, and was embarrassed immediately, turned around to look for the cloak.After turning around twice but still not finding it, Sigma rolled his eyes, pulled out the cloak from the messy bed, put it on Liang Xiao's shoulders, and went to find Liang Xiao's clothes and battle robe.

With Sigma waiting on him, Liang Xiao put on his clothes and got out of the big tent.

In front of him was a piece of snow, and the green and yellow grassland turned into a snowfield overnight. There was thick snow everywhere, and the cold air was overwhelming.

Piles of bonfires were still burning, and some knights were sitting around the bonfires, drinking wine, eating meat, and gossiping.I don't know if they stayed up all the time or woke up again.Their respective war horses stood aside in twos and threes, brushing away the snow on the ground, gnawing grass roots, occasionally raising their heads, shaking their manes, and hissing twice in the wind.

Seeing Liang Xiao approaching, the knights stood up and saluted respectfully. "My lord, happy new year."

Liang Xiao smiled and waved his hand. "Happy New Year."

Walking along the tent, Liang Xiao wrapped his cloak tightly while breathing the dry and cool air.Before I knew it, it had been half a year since I left Chang'an, and it had been more than four months since I left Yanmen, and now I finally came to Yuezhi.The danger of this journey is beyond imagination, and the harvest is also beyond imagination.However, Liang Xiao was not completely complacent in his heart, he was still a little bit worried.

It's too far away from Chang'an, and until now, he doesn't know what the court, especially the emperor, thinks about his trip.Is it support, or approval, or not?To put it more seriously, this is hypocrisy.When he forms an alliance with Yuezhi and Dawan, and returns to Chang'an happily, what awaits him may not be awards and rewards, but may also be condemned and imprisoned.

God's grace is unpredictable, and this young emperor is notoriously difficult to wait for.Even Wei Qing, who was so loyal and loyal, failed to die well, so why should he hope for a good death?Maybe it is still possible to stay in Chang'an honestly, but now he has done something like a false edict...

Liang Xiao secretly sighed.

"Master?" Sigma led Gasartes to Liang Xiao's side, tilted his head, and looked at him. "Do you want to ride a horse and run around? No matter what kind of troubles you have, as long as you ride a horse and run for dozens of miles on the grassland, all troubles will fly away like doves."

Liang Xiao thought for a while, took the reins, and got on the horse.Sigma also jumped on his mount, and the two of them let go of their horseshoes one after the other, and started to run on the grassland where the snow had just fallen.Gasartes is indeed a famous Dawan horse, even on the snow, he still runs fast and steadily.The cold wind rushed towards Liang Xiao's face, making Liang Xiao feel cold all over his body, and also blowing away the uneasiness in his heart.

Never mind him, let's get this done first.It's a pity to pass up such a good opportunity.If Liu Che is really so unreasonable, I will move the whole family here and stop serving him.He's not a good boss anyway.

Sigma galloped and shouted loudly, "Master, wait for me, wait for me."

"Hurry up!" Liang Xiao laughed loudly, "Catch up with me and I will teach you the secrets of archery."

Half a month later, Liang Xiao arrived at Jianshi City.

Yuezhi Dalu Ashana came out of the city to meet him.He was about fifty years old, of medium build, and well built.His skin is dark, his wrinkles are as deep as a knife, and his two deep-set eyes reveal deep vigilance. Even though he is smiling, he still makes people feel guarded.

Seeing Liang Xiao from a distance, Ah She jumped off the horse, opened his arms, and strode towards him with loud laughter.

"Haha, General Shenjian from Dahan, I welcome you on behalf of King Yuezhi."

Liang Xiao got off his horse and greeted him with a smile all over his face.Guo Wenbin followed closely beside him, translating what Ashena said to Liang Xiao.Before Guo Wenbin finished translating, Ah Shena had already walked in front of Liang Xiao, opened his arms, held Liang Xiao in his arms, and patted Liang Xiao hard twice.

These two blows were really heavy, two "bang bang", like a war drum.Liang Xiao's heart tightened when he slapped him, and he was almost out of breath.

Ah She looked at Liang Xiao in surprise, let go, took a step back, nodded, and said something.Guo Wenbin translated: "My lord, he said that you are very strong and a real master."

Liang Xiao smiled wryly, "Fortunately, I'm still strong, otherwise I'd be flattened by Dalu."

After listening to the translation, Ajina waved her big palm-like hand and laughed. "How can a hero who can shoot and kill King Hunxie be killed by my palm?"

Liang Xiao was surprised.He didn't tell the officials of Yuezhi that he shot and killed King Hunxie and his son, how did Ah She know?
Hearing his question, Ashina said with emotion: "My lord, although we have just met, we have already won your favor. You shot and killed King Hunxie, and the Huns were discouraged and their troops were insufficient. In the middle of the month, we have been fighting in Nanshan. We originally thought that the inevitable battle ended before it even started. Countless Yuezhi warriors lived an extra year because of you."

When Liang Xiao heard it, he immediately felt that the smell was not right.The Yuezhi people are so afraid of the Wusun people, they have no confidence at all, and going into battle means dying in battle?

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, just smiled and listened to what Ashena had to say.When the situation is uncertain, it is better to listen than to speak.

Seeing that Liang Xiao didn't get carried away by beheading King Hunxie, Ashina was very satisfied.He introduced the situation of Yuezhi to Liang Xiao.

30 years ago, King Yueshi died in battle. Because the prince Aliuwu was too young, Yanshi was the regent, and the people of the country called him the Queen.Now that Aliu has grown up, the queen is choosing the right time to abdicate.However, she has been in power for more than [-] years and has won the hearts of the people, so many people are reluctant to part with her and try their best to persuade her to stay.The dignitaries in the country are divided into two factions, and everyone has their own reasons. It is difficult to make a decision for a while, and it even affects the war against the Wusun people.

When Liang Xiao heard it, he immediately felt a sense of déjà vu.The Empress Dowager was addicted to being regent and was unwilling to abdicate. Xiao Wang grew up and wanted to monopolize the power, but was hindered by domestic forces.This is very similar to the current situation of Dahan.Azhena said it with tenderness, but the inside story may not necessarily be the case.Prince Aliuwu is in his thirties, and the queen still refuses to give in. There are too many hidden messages in it.

"Then who is in charge of the war against Dawan now?" Liang Xiao said calmly and with a smile on his face.

"Of course it's the prince." Ashena chuckled lightly: "My lord, when you see the prince, you have to be careful. You took his credit."

Liang Xiao smiled. "Then when we meet, I will apologize to the prince."

Azhe laughed out loud, but the laugh was dry and sounded a bit forced.

Accompanied by Azhena, Liang Xiao walked into Jianshi City.Jianshi City is much larger than Guishan City, but its prosperity is much lower. It is far from the bustling scene of people coming and going in Guishan City.Liang Xiao asked, and Ah Shena said helplessly, "There has been a war recently, and all the merchants have run away."

"Been fighting?"

"Yes, with Bactria." Azhena waved his hand lightly. "But it doesn't matter, our warriors will be able to conquer Bactria soon, and the merchants will naturally return."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything more.When they came to the post house, Ashina had already arranged a place to stay.Liang Xiao handed over the letter of credence written by Mei Gao, and explained the purpose of coming to Ashana, and finally took out the armor and head of King Hunxie and his son.A Shena heard all of them, and promised to report to the queen as soon as possible, so that Liang Xiao could wait at ease in the posthouse.If there is anything, you can send someone to look for him in his mansion.

Liang Xiao thanked him, and personally sent Ajina to the door.After he came back, he said to Guo Wenbin: "Immediately take a few people who are proficient in Yueshi language to the market to find out the situation, and especially ask about the situation of Prince Aliuwu."

"My lord, do you think the Queen is unreliable?"

"A woman, and an old woman, naturally wants to be more stable. They don't have any confidence in Wusun, but they have the upper hand in the face of Bactria. If it were you, what would you choose? Although the homeland is precious, if the price is too high It’s too big, I’m afraid few people are willing to pay.”

"What about the prince?"

"Maybe the prince wants to take this opportunity to gain military power, or maybe he wants to take this opportunity to gain prestige. In any case, he is definitely more willing to take risks than the elderly queen. If I can't convince the queen, I plan to try the prince again."

Guo Wenbin nodded, called a few people, tidied up, and went out.

Liang Xiao took Xi Ya and Sigma and walked around the post house.One is to check the accommodation conditions of the subordinates to enhance the relationship with the subordinates, and the other is to check the environment of the post house, so that they can know clearly, and if something happens, they can respond quickly and correctly.

After walking around the post house, Liang Xiao already had a basic judgment in his mind.The post house was repaired very neatly, and several places were even completely torn down and rebuilt.It can be seen that the Yuezhi people have plans to settle in Jianshi City, otherwise they would not work so hard.

The queen is old, and I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade. No wonder Zhang Qian in history has been in vain.
