Chapter 291
Knowing that the Huns who were left behind had no supplies, not even horses, and only people to eat, Liang Xiao gave up and continued to move forward.In his opinion, there are only two endings left for those Huns, either to be eaten or to freeze to death.No matter what the result is, the more than 1 Huns have been wiped out, and his goal has been achieved. It doesn't make much difference whether to cut his ears or not.

I believe that Mei Cai will not really count his ears with him.

Rather than this, why continue to move forward at the risk of losing personnel, these mercenaries are all rare elites.

Wudan's guard battalion was well equipped, at least half of them had iron armor, and their bags were full of spoils.Now, these have become the trophies of the mercenaries, plus tents, horses and camels, their expedition can be said to be a lot of money.What makes them most happy is that these are all theirs, and they don't have to share them with Yuezhi people and Dawan people.

It feels so good to eat alone.

Liang Xiao ordered people to collect the available materials, and they returned by the same route pulled by the horses and camels of the Huns.

Twelve days later, they returned to the big camp in the mountains, at least half a month earlier than expected.Meicai and Ashena were a little surprised, but they were filled with emotion after hearing what Liang Xiao said.This person's luck came, and he couldn't stop it. If Wu Dan hadn't taken the initiative to come forward, how could Liang Xiao complete the task so easily.

The only regret is that Wu Dan ran away.Liang Xiao couldn't explain Wu Dan's timely escape.Man is not as good as God, in this case, Wu Dan can run away, it can only be said that God does not intend to let him die.Compared to this, what happened under Suye City was nothing.

So far, the dust of this battle has settled, the Wusun people returned without success, the Huns were wiped out, the Meicai made contributions, and the Yuezhi people did not have credit, but had hard work.Not to mention Liang Xiao and others, Li Shuyun and old Andrew blocked the Wusun people, and the mercenaries killed five or six hundred Xiongnu elites.

Satisfied, Mei Cai ordered people to build a large number of sleds, and rushed back to Suye City before the snow melted.

Liang Xiao and others accompanied, and the task of guarding the mountain pass was handed over to Mei Cai's subordinate Jian Mi.Jian Mi's courage is extraordinary, and when Mei Cai was attacked by Wu Dan, it was he who led his troops to kill and saved Mei Cai's life.

Dongfang Shuo jumped out of the car and walked into Liang's house with square steps.

Tu Hua'er, who was arranging for someone to clean the courtyard, saw it, went up to greet her, and said angrily, "Who is Mr., why don't you come in?"

Dongfang Shuo was taken aback, a little amused. "you do not know me?"

"Are you famous?" Tu Hua'er smiled disdainfully, and looked Dongfang Shuo up and down. "Apart from being taller, you don't see any ability."

At this time, a little slave rushed over and whispered in Tu Hua'er's ear, "Sister Hua'er, he is Mr. Dongfang."

"Mr. Dongfang?" Tu Hua'er stared, "Mr. West, sweep your land."

Dongfang Shuo was speechless.At this moment, Hu Xijun, who had a big belly, came out from behind. Seeing Dongfang Shuo being stopped by Tu Huaer, he hurriedly said, "Sister Huaer, he is Dongfang Manqian, the master invited him."

"You are Dongfang Shuo?" Tu Hua'er suddenly realized, she took a step back and looked at Dongfang Shuo again. "Scary, it's really high, it's so much Feib."

"Pfft!" Dongfang Shuo was speechless, so he had to turn his gaze to Hu Xijun. "Xijun, when will you give birth?"

"Just a few days." Hu Xijun smiled embarrassedly, supported his waist, and walked into the kitchen slowly.

Hearing that it was Dongfang Shuo, Tu Hua'er didn't dare to neglect, so she sent someone to invite Mrs. Liang immediately.After a while, Li Rongqing rushed out and invited Dongfang Shuo to sit in the courtyard.After a while, Liang Yu also came out, smiling all over her face.

"Thank you sir."

"Madam, you are welcome." Dongfang Shuo bowed and explained: "After receiving the news, I spent some time inquiring about it, so I came late. Madam, please don't be offended."

Liang Yan smiled. "What did you find out, sir?"

"Actually, it's nothing. The King of Huainan wrote a letter to criticize the government's administration by taking advantage of Liang Xiao's trip to the west. The emperor was so annoyed that he asked Empress Chen to blow the wind in front of the Empress Dowager. As a result, Princess Guantao thought that you had something to do with King Liang. I invite you to ask."

Having said this, Dongfang Shuo paused. "Is there any relationship between Madam and King Liang...?"

Liang Wei laughed softly: "Why do you ask such a question, sir?"

"Madam invited me to advise, if you can't tell me the truth, how can I advise Madam?"

"Mr. Wen said that he is proficient in the Book of Changes and can shoot everywhere. He must already know the truth at this moment, why bother to ask?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Since that's the case, then I won't ask. However, there is one thing I still want to remind Madam."

"Sir, please speak."

"The King of Huainan insisted on the way of Huang Lao, but His Majesty wanted to promote Confucianism. The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other. The time of the Empress Dowager is short, and the King of Huainan wants to rely on the Queen Mother for help. I'm afraid it's counterproductive. If Madam wants to be at ease, it is better to keep a distance from King Huainan."

Liang Yu pondered for a moment: "You mean, I should cut off contact with Liu Ling?"

Dongfang Shuo nodded. "Ma'am, the status of the Lord Huainan is honorable. I am afraid that Liang Xiao's status cannot bear it, and it will delay Liang Xiao's future. In the long run, it is better to put aside the relationship. Liang Xiao went to the Western Regions, and I don't know when he will come back. The King of Huainan wants to marry Lord Weng into the Marquis of Wu'an, so why don't Madam take this opportunity to end it?"

"This..." Liang Yu hesitated.After a moment, she shook her head. "Mr. Dongfang, I know that this is a kind word from you, but I think I may not be able to do it. Not to mention that my son is thousands of miles away, if you say Liu Ling, I'm afraid I can't refuse it with just one or two words. She glanced at Dongfang Shuo and suddenly smiled. "Why don't you ask Mr. Dongfang to come forward?"

Dongfang Shuo shook his head awkwardly. "To tell you the truth, Ma'am, I have already understood this meaning, it's just..."

Liang Yu smiled, but it was a little ambiguous. "Since that's the case, let them handle it themselves. Anyway, my son Liang Xiao is not in Chang'an, so it might be cold after waiting for a while."

"I hope so."

Dongfang Shuo left the Liang family and returned to Chang'an.After Wanhuli moved, he lived in the east of the city, and he had to go around the entire Chang'an city to return to his residence.

Outside the door, he saw an acquaintance——Deng Guobin.As soon as he saw Deng Guobin, he turned around and wanted to hide.It's a pity that his custom-made carriage is much bigger than ordinary carriages, and it is too conspicuous. Deng Guobin saw him at a glance, waved his hand, and shouted: "Mr. Dongfang, what a coincidence, I was just going to find you."

Dongfang Shuo laughed. "What's the matter? I'm busy now, I'll talk about it when I have time." As he spoke, he let the coachman run away.Deng Guobin was on the opposite side of the avenue, and he wanted to run away before Deng Guobin rushed over.

"I have something to do." Deng Guobin shouted loudly while running back. "There is a formula that I can't figure out, and I want to ask Mr. Dongfang for advice."

"The fixed form?" Dongfang Shuo's heart moved. He obviously didn't want to have any contact with Deng Guobin, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity. He stuck his head out of the car window and shouted loudly, "What is the fixed form? Is it troublesome?"

"It's very troublesome. My family's master said that only Lord Dongfang can understand the world, so he sent me to Chang'an on a special trip."

"Slow down, slow down." Dongfang Shuo scratched his heart with all his claws, and couldn't care about anything else.The carriage slowed down, and at the intersection, Deng Guobin crossed the Chidao, climbed into Dongfang Shuo's carriage, and said out of breath, "I just went to your house, your little gentleman said you went to Maoling, I was thinking Chased him to Maoling."

"You have to find me?"

"Yes, among the [-] guests of the Huainan Palace, no one can solve this formula, so I have to ask Mr. Dongfang for advice." Deng Guobin said, spreading out a silk map, with a few figures drawn on it, and two rows of numbers written below.

Dongfang Shuo took a look. "What is this?"

Deng Guobin smiled, stretched out his hand out of the window, took a brocade box from the attendant who rushed over, and put it in front of Dongfang Shuo.Dongfang Shuo opened it, took a look, and immediately gasped, his eyes were a little hotter. "clairvoyance?!"

"Mr. Dongfang is really extraordinary. You can see it at a glance." Deng Guobin smiled and said, "This is Chang'an's second clairvoyance. If Mr. Dongfang can solve this formula, it will be yours."

"really?"

"a man of his words."

Before Deng Guobin finished speaking, Dongfang Shuo covered the brocade box, stuffed it into his sleeve, and grabbed the silk book. "Okay, I have news and I will let you know."

"How about this, Mr. Dongfang is estimated to take a few days? When the time comes, I will come to ask for advice in person."

Dongfang Shuo blinked. "Well... how about you give me ten days?"

"Okay. I'll go find you in ten days. If Mr. Dongfang can really untie it, not only will this clairvoyance belong to you, but you will also get another generous gift."

Dongfang Shuo became a little vigilant. "For a set formula, why spend such a big price?"

Deng Guobin smiled without saying a word, cupped his hands and bowed, got out of the car and left.Dongfang Shuo snorted, opened the silk book, stared at the numbers, looked again and again, and suddenly regretted it.The formula about Qianliu last time has not been solved yet. This clairvoyant formula will not be the same as that one. It is another problem that Liang Xiao posed for Liu Ling, right?

It would be a bit embarrassing if this can't be solved.It's fine to lose to the followers of Huainan Palace, but it's a bit unwilling to lose to Liang Xiao.That's an ignorant guy.If you can't solve it once, it can be said to be accidental, if you can't solve it twice...

Dongfang Shuo touched the brocade box in his sleeve, gritted his teeth, unable to choose.He murmured, "Liang Xiao, I have to increase my commission. Both of you mother and son are not good people, so why don't you use me as a donkey?"

Outside Suye City, Liang Xiao suddenly shivered.Alpha on the side asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that my wallet is tight, as if someone is thinking about it, and I feel like I'm going to lose money."

"Hee hee, why did the master lose his money? You want to make a fortune." Sigma giggled and said, "When I return to Guishan City, the king is happy, and I don't know how much he will reward you. Even if the king doesn't reward you, the princess will." Thank you, if you can reward a few more sisters, we will have a lot of fun."

Liang Xiao hesitated to speak.He thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said to himself, "No, I have to coax Dongfang Shuo here, and let's go west together."
