Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 284 Jinshan (Third update, please recommend, ask for a monthly pass!)
Princess Guantao walked slowly, and Chen Ajiao followed behind, thinking, falling further and further away.Princess Guantao frowned when she heard the sound of the ring wearing away, she turned to look at Chen Ajiao.Chen Ajiao caught up, with a puzzled expression.

"Mother, is the eldest mother confused? I asked her about King Huainan, but she talked about King Liang."

Princess Guantao glared at her. "Your aunt is old and a little confused, but she is much more sober than you."

Chen Ajiao pouted. "Mom, why are you talking about me again?"

Princess Guantao ignored her, and asked abruptly, "Did the Son of Heaven go to Jiaofang Hall?"

Chen Ajiao blushed and nodded repeatedly. "He stayed overnight in Jiaofang Palace yesterday."

"Can you be a little ambitious?" Princess Guantao became more and more angry. "You are the queen. He doesn't stay in the Jiaofang Palace. Should he hang out with those tricksters? You really don't have any dignity at all as a queen. He makes you so happy when he comes here occasionally, so you rush to do it for him." Lobbyist?"

Chen Ajiao turned her face away, pretending to look at the scenery.When Princess Guantao saw her, she let out a long sigh: "The empress dowager is the backer of you and my mother and daughter. Now she is old and frail, and her days are numbered. It is really senseless for you to bother her for a common person. Mother All my painstaking efforts have been ruined by you. One day, you will be replaced by Wei Zifu, and I will be overwhelmed by Pingyang."

"Mum, how can you say that?" Chen Ajiao was anxious. "She just gave birth to a daughter, not..."

"If you can have a daughter, you can have a son." Princess Guantao glanced at Chen Ajiao. "With your temper, he only stayed overnight at the Jiaofang Palace for business. When will you be able to conceive?"

Chen Ajiao became anxious, her face flushed, and she screamed, "He won't come, what can I do?"

"Silly boy, you have to find a way to hook his heart." Princess Guantao hated iron but steel. "You have to do what he likes in order to win his heart, and not be taken advantage of by other women, in order to keep the queen's position."

"I'm not doing it right now?"

"You are just being used by him now, not for your own thoughts." Guan Tao stretched out his well-maintained fingers, and poked Chen Ajiao's forehead fiercely. "You have to use your mind and think about what he wants, instead of being fooled by him like a log."

Chen Ajiao gritted her teeth in anger as if waking up from a dream.

"Where is Liang Xiao from? Don't tell him in a hurry. Mother will send someone to investigate first." Princess Guantao pondered for a moment, then sneered: "If he is really from Liang and has something to do with King Liang, maybe A chance for my mother and daughter."

"what chance?"

"You don't have to worry about this, wait for me to ask clearly, and then worry about it."

Chen Ajiao nodded half understanding.

Liang Xiao and Mo Cai sat in the tent, surrounded by the burning firepit, chatting while drinking wine and eating barbecue.

The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and they couldn't go anywhere. They could only chat and fart here to pass the time.

The heavier the snow fell, the happier they were.Because it means that the life of the Huns will be more difficult.They came leisurely and brought sufficient supplies, but the Huns returned home without a feather. Apart from horses, they probably only had human flesh to eat.Thousands of miles away, how many people can go back is really unknown.

Although he suffered a heavy blow, he turned defeat into victory in the end and made a great contribution. Mo Cai was in a good mood.He drank a little too much today, forgot the reserve that a deputy king should have, and hooked shoulders with Liang Xiao.

"Do you know why Dawan is so rich?" Mei Cai squinted his drunken eyes, looking at Liang Xiao triumphantly. "Do you know why the Dawan people are unwilling to give up this pasture?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Also ask the deputy king to advise."

"Because it's here..." Mo Cai pointed to the ground so hard that his fingers almost poked the ground. "Yes! Gold! Son!"

"Is there gold?"

"Yes, the Cypriots call this mountain the Golden Mountain. Gold can often be found in the mountain. Not only gold, but also precious jade." Mei Cai laughed. "The Wusun people were defeated by the Yuezhi people, and the Sai people were driven away by the Yuezhi people. This pasture became our Dawan people's. The gold and precious jade here belong to the Dawan people. Therefore, we don't Lack of money."

Liang Xiao suddenly woke up.During this period of time, I only thought about how to form an alliance with the Yuezhi people and the Dawan people, and introduce the good horses from Central Asia to the Central Plains, but I forgot such a thing.That's right, in later generations, this area should belong to the Altai Mountains. Altai means gold and is a famous gold producing area.

It turns out that Dawan people not only rely on trade, but also rely on Jinshan.A golden pie fell from the world and hit them right on the head, so they could sit back and enjoy food and clothing without any worries.There is a powerful enemy invading, they would rather spend money to buy peace, because this little money is nothing to them.

As for whether this golden mountain is a blessing or a curse, it depends on how you look at it.However, for him, this is good news.

He was wondering what to do next.

After stopping the Wusun people and repelling the Huns, he basically gained a firm foothold in Dawan.However, the Wusun people and the Huns still stand on his way back.After the task is completed, whether he can return to the big man alive to receive the reward is still a problem.

Thousands of miles of grassland, the journey is long, with the current strength of the big man, I am afraid that this road cannot be guaranteed to be smooth.With the strength of Dawan and Yuezhi alone, they will not be able to confront Wusun and Huns head-on in a short period of time.Then how can I go back?

Is it still like when you came here, relying on luck?
When they came, the Huns didn't know about it, so they took advantage of it.Now that Gu Luhu and Old King Hunxie have been killed, and Wu Dan has been seriously injured, it is probably impossible to sneak past him.Once caught by the Huns, his fate may be worse than that of Zhang Qian. Forget about marrying a wife and having children, it is appropriate to behead his head and dig out his heart.

Hiring mercenaries for protection like a caravan has become the only possible way.But it's only possible.Whether it is feasible or not depends on whether the wallet is bulging.Mercenaries have to risk their lives and are much more expensive than ordinary mercenaries. Without sufficient economic foundation, it is impossible to do it.He is a messenger, not a businessman. In terms of profit, the only way to organize mercenaries is through sponsorship.

Nie Yi and other Han merchants have already raised more than 3000 gold for him, and if they continue to draw, they are afraid that there will be problems with liquidity.He couldn't bear to draw blood from them anymore, so he had to find another source of money.Now that Mei Cai revealed such a news, he immediately had a direction.

"This time we defeated the Huns and Wusun people, Jinshan is still in the hands of Dawan, and the deputy king is the first achievement."

"Hahaha..." Mo Cai patted Liang Xiao's shoulder vigorously. "That's right, if there are no accidents, this piece of pasture will become my territory, and this piece of Jinshan will also be managed by me. Mr. Liang, this is all your gift, and I will never forget you."

"Vice King, you are being polite." Liang Xiao raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Vice King for his meritorious service, fame and fortune, you should drink this cup to the full."

"It should." Mei Cai raised his glass and drank it down, spilling the blood-red wine everywhere.He wiped his mouth, then said with his tongue open: "Although Luo Xuli is not my daughter, I love her very much. I hope she can find a good husband. I know she is grateful to Mr. Liang. If Mr. Liang is willing to marry her As wives, Dawan and Dahan are close relatives by marriage..."

Liang Xiao hurriedly stopped Mei Cai.Mei Cai got drunk and started talking nonsense.If he really married Luo Xuli, his future career would come to an end.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would never agree that a person who married Princess Dawan would be in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions.No matter how much Luo Xuli likes him, she will never let her marry an ordinary man, unless this person can be resident in Dawan and has an official status.These are two incompatible options.

Besides, although Luo Xuli is beautiful and lovely, his favorite in his heart is still the Huainan Lord.

"Vice King, you are drunk."

"I'm not...drunk." Mo Cai laughed loudly and waved his hand vigorously. "You and I join hands, who can be the enemy?"

Liang Xiao smiled and ordered Mei Cai to be helped into the inner tent to rest.Mo Cai muttered, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.

Liang Xiao led Guo Wenbin, Alpha, and Sigma out of the tent, and walked back to his tent on knee-deep snow.Halfway past the tents of the mercenaries, he stopped and went in to have a look.Some of the mercenaries were chatting, some were drinking, and some were cleaning their weapons.Seeing Liang Xiao coming in, Bison and other leaders immediately surrounded him, and enthusiastically led Liang Xiao to sit on the main seat.

"My lord, the Huns are so ruthless, what can we do with the spoils?"

Liang Xiao smiled.As agreed with these mercenaries at the beginning, the commission is divided into three parts: one part is the advance payment, and the other part is the commission paid by Suye City Guard. These two parts have been paid in place; the other part accounts for more than half of the total commission. To be paid for by the booty.Now that the Huns are fleeing without a fight, and the spoils are about to be lost, these mercenaries are naturally anxious.

Liang Xiao comforted: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. It's snowing heavily, and the life of the Huns will be difficult, and some heads are waiting for you to pick them up."

"Won't the Yuezhi and Dawan people rob us?"

"Snatching is inevitable. However, we are allies, not enemies, and it is impossible to tear ourselves apart. Whether we can grab it or not depends on who moves quickly. In this regard, I believe you will not be inferior to those veteran soldiers, right?"

"That's it." Buffalo laughed. "Follow us, they can't even eat farts."

"I am optimistic about you." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "You are all the elites I picked out, not to mention here, even if you look around the world, it is difficult for you to find a real opponent. Enjoy this time, this will be The most memorable months of your lives."

"My lord, why is it only a few months and not a few years?" Linghu said slowly, taking a sip of his wine.

Liang Xiao glanced at him. "After this task is completed and you are disbanded, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to form such an elite team. Maybe you will be jealous of other people's pockets and kill you to the death."

The eyes of the mercenaries changed immediately, a little less affectionate and a little more wary.
