Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 292
In the middle of the night, beside the stove and under the oil lamp, Liang Xiao was at his desk writing urgently.

He wrote several letters, intending to let Li Shuyun take him back to Chang'an.

The first letter was of course to the Son of Heaven.He reported in detail his itinerary, the information he had learned, and emphasized the reasons why he did not go back for the time being, hoping to get the emperor's support.Especially after the battle, he carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Huns and Wusun people, and suggested that the emperor strengthen the construction of cavalry and reform the existing military system so as to effectively deal with future wars with the Huns.

The second letter is to my wife.It's so far away from home, so I have to report that I'm safe, so that my mother can rest assured.In this letter, I can't talk about those things that were born and died. I only say that everything is safe and everything is going well.

The third letter was to Dongfang Shuo. Among the more than 400 camels, three camels belonged to him. In addition to the seeds of various crops, they were Greek classics that he painstakingly collected, some of which were originals and some were manuscripts.These classics are prepared for Dongfang Shuo.He didn't have the energy, and he didn't intend to translate. He only briefly described the mountains and rivers west of Congling in the letter, which he believed would arouse Dongfang Shuo's curiosity.

Liang Xiao originally wanted to write a letter to Liu Ling, but after much deliberation, he finally forgot, and only included a page in his old mother's family letter.

However, he chose a book for Liu Ling: a manuscript of Euclid's "Original".He found this book in Dawan Palace, lying in a corner, no one cares about it.However, as if he had found a treasure, he spent a lot of effort to translate a volume with the help of Alpha, and hand-painted the illustrations in it. I believe Liu Ling will like this gift.

He wanted to translate all the thirteen volumes, but his time and energy were limited, so he could only talk about it later.

It's done, Liang Xiao is very satisfied.Although his calligraphy is very general, it is neat and impeccable. Each stroke is like the action of archery. The strokes are in place and neat as engraved.

Shia walked in. "Master, a guest is here."

"There are still guests at this time?" Liang Xiao raised his head to look at the sky, feeling a little strange.He put down his pen and rubbed his hands together. "Who? If it's not important, just say I'm already asleep..."

Xi Ya didn't speak, Liang Xiao raised his head in surprise, but saw a delicate figure standing at the door, it was Dawan Pearl, Princess Luo Xuli.Liang Xiao was taken aback, stood up quickly, walked up to meet him quickly, and bowed to salute.

"Princess, why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Luo Xuli walked in, untied the cloak, and handed it to Xi Ya, revealing a well-tailored brocade dress, shining under the firelight.She glanced at Liang Xiao and pursed her lips into a smile. "I heard that you have been very busy these two days, did you get hurt from drinking?"

Liang Xiao smiled awkwardly.It's a bad feeling to have four little spies around here, they can't hide anything.

"The monarch and ministers of Dawan are too enthusiastic, and they are indeed a bit overwhelmed."

"You defeated the Huns and Wusun people, and defended Dawan. Thank you." Luo Xuli walked to the desk, glanced at the letter Liang Xiao just wrote, and then glanced at the volume of "Originally "Translation, his eyes flickered slightly. "Is it going to be given to that princess?"

Liang Xiao looked at Luo Xuli in surprise, can you see that?

"You really care about her." Luo Xuli sighed softly, "Is it because of her that you want to go west?"

"Why did the princess say that?"

"I heard that the library in Alexandria has the largest collection of books in the world." Luo Xuli turned around, leaning her back against the desk, her eyes sparkling. "Can you take me there?"

Liang Xiao was startled and shook his head again and again. "Princess, don't be joking. You are a body of gold, how can you travel thousands of miles. If something happens, who can take the responsibility." He thought for a while, and said: "If someone else can still mix in the crowd, The princess is a lady, with a noble temperament, she can tell at a glance that she is absolutely extraordinary, but she can't hide it."

"Puchi—" Luo Xuli couldn't help laughing.She bit her red lip, glared at Liang Xiao, and said in a whisper, "Big liar!"

Liang Xiao laughed dryly, rubbing his nose in a bit of embarrassment.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Luo Xuli coughed and put away her smile, but the blush on her face became even stronger. "You have made such great achievements, how do you want my father to reward you? Do you want precious jade or pearls?"

Luo Xuli dragged her voice out, staring at Liang Xiao intently, her white face shy like a crystal ruby.Liang Xiao lowered his eyelids, and said solemnly: "Since the big man has become an ally with Dawan, it should be a common enemy. I did what I should do, and I dare not ask for rewards."

"No way—" Luo Xuli was in a hurry, and stepped forward, shaking Liang Xiao's arm repeatedly. "I can't. Tell me quickly, do you want Baoyu or Mingzhu?"

Liang Xiao twitched twice, but failed to pull his arm out.He smiled bitterly and said, "Is money okay? I want to travel thousands of miles west, and I need money, a lot of money."

Luo Xuli puffed up her cheeks, widened her eyes, and looked at Liang Xiao angrily. "You...why are you so stupid?"

"Am I stupid?" Liang Xiao continued to pretend to be confused. "I don't think there's any problem. It takes a lot of money for such a long journey and so many people."

"Well, don't regret it." Luo Xuli let go of Liang Xiao and rushed out. "I asked my father to reward you with money and bury you with gold."

Liang Xiao chased to the door and said loudly: "Princess, then I will wait."

Xi Ya gave Liang Xiao a puzzled look, and chased him out. "Princess, princess, your cloak..."

In mid-April, Liang Xiao sent Li Shuyun, Batu and others out of Guishan City.With Batu accompanying them, they will cross Congling via Yuezhi.This section of the road is still under the control of the Yuezhi people, and the safety is relatively guaranteed.

Half a month later, Liang Xiao himself also set off for Kangju in Dawanxi.

King Dawan rewarded Liang Xiao with [-] gold coins, equivalent to one thousand gold coins, which was indeed a generous gift.But for Liang Xiao, the money was a drop in the bucket.

He now has more than 400 Greek infantry, and almost everyone has a few mouths behind them. This amount of money is not enough.The king of Dawan was very generous to him, but he was very stingy with ordinary soldiers, rewarding each person with ten gold coins.Liang Xiao could only pay them out of his own pocket to compensate them.He wants to take them to Greece, which will take at least two years, and he must relieve their worries before allowing them to travel with peace of mind.

Before the [-] gold coins were warmed up, Liang Xiao became a pauper with no travel expenses.He was somewhat disappointed, the dignified princess, her words don't count.What about burying me with gold?
Fortunately, Mei Cai extended a helping hand in time and gave Liang Xiao [-] gold coins as a thank you for Liang Xiao's kindness, which was considered to have relieved Liang Xiao's urgent need.

This experience made Liang Xiao realize once again the huge consumption of war.Without money, you can't fight a war at all.

Although luxury goods are not beneficial to people's livelihood, from the perspective of making money, this business has to go on for a long time.

Out of Guishan City, go west along the Gasats River.After walking only a few miles, Sigma tugged on Liang Xiao's sleeve. "Master, look, it's a princess."

Liang Xiao looked up and was taken aback.No way, is she really going west with me?He had no choice but to kick the mount lightly and walked over.Luo Xuli sat on the white horse and cast a sideways glance at Liang Xiao. "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to find you."

Liang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and the heart in his throat was finally relieved.

The white horse came over, and the black horse sniffed each other and rubbed their faces, very affectionate.Luo Xuli and Liang Xiao were within arms length, seeing Liang Xiao relieved, she was very sullen. "Is that why you hate me so much?"

"Princess, you misunderstood." Liang Xiao guiltily glanced at the distance, no one was looking this way.He got closer and said in a low voice: "It's far away from me, and I don't have enough troops to ensure the safety of the princess. Besides, the army is rough, so it's inconvenient for the princess to accompany you. For the sake of the princess, it's better to stay in Guishan City."

"Insufficient troops, can't you bring more soldiers?"

"I want to, too, but I have no money."

"I have money."

"I'm an imposing man, how can I use the princess's money." Liang Xiao shook his head, not to be questioned. "Princess, in our big man, a man who uses women's money is like a slave, and will be despised for the rest of his life. I thank the princess for her kindness, but please don't say such things again. A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. The gold coins are all earned by myself, it is fair and aboveboard, and the world can learn from it."

Seeing Liang Xiao's serious face with hints of anger, Luo Xuli knew she had made a mistake, so she could only mutter: "You Han people are really weird."

Liang Xiao eased his face and cupped his hands. "Princess, please go back. When I come back, I will bring a gift to the princess."

"That's good." Luo Xuli chuckled, "It can't be worse than the gift you gave that princess." After speaking, she kicked the white horse and galloped away.

Liang Xiao scratched his head, this is a bit troublesome.Alas, although it is proud to be favored by beauties, it is not so easy to enjoy the blessings of Qiren, especially when facing two princesses.

Wu Dan staggered, fell into the snow, and rolled down the hillside.

Iul yelled in shock, screaming repeatedly: "My lord, be careful, there is a cliff in front—"

But Wu Dan couldn't hear anything, and his speed was getting faster and faster, and he rolled into a snowman and rushed towards the cliff.Seeing that he was about to fall into the cliff, a figure flew down from the hillside, like a big bird, after a few falls, he chased after Wu Dan and grabbed Wu Dan.Wu Dan fell too fast, and the two of them fell together.In desperation, the man stretched out his hand, threw out the whip in his hand, and wrapped it around a boulder.

With a "bang", the two slid down and disappeared from Eul's sight.

Yiwuer rushed over and saw the two people hanging in mid-air, he was relieved, he took a closer look, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Great wizard?"

Holding the Wu Dan in one hand and the whip in the other, the wizard shouted sharply, "Pull us up."

Eul woke up like a dream, and quickly dragged them up.Wu Dan didn't know where he hit, his face was covered in blood, and he was unconscious.Iul was at a loss, but the wizard did not rush, and asked Iul to pick up Wudan and walk up the hillside.Turning around the hillside, a shack appeared in front of me, which was very simple, with only a few animal skins inside and nothing else.
