Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 304 The name of the person, the shadow of the tree

Before the translator finished translating Liang Xiao's words, Tie Huali's expression changed.The confrontation between the two armies is no longer a competition, but a fight to the death.Thinking of the murderous soldiers outside, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.All of a sudden, he felt a little regretful, he came in front of Liang Xiao like this, it was a bit hasty.In case Liang Xiao wants to kill me...

Tie Huali stared at Liang Xiao for a while. "Is the messenger a joke?"

"Didn't the general doubt my combat power? I am willing to give the general a chance to experience it for myself. Don't worry, the general, I will not shoot you like I shot Wu Dan." As he spoke, Liang Xiao smiled meaningfully. Intentionally or not, his eyes glanced at Tie Huali's lower body.

Tie Huali suddenly felt his crotch tighten, as if someone had grabbed his lifeline.He had heard from Zhen'an that Wu Dan had been shot to death by Liang Xiao and had become a useless person.Of course he didn't know that Liang Xiao accidentally shot Wu Dan's lifeblood, he just thought that Liang Xiao deliberately wanted to make Wu Dan's life worse than death.At this moment, Liang Xiao's eyes were gloomy and cold, which made him shudder.

What are five or six thousand Yuezhi people who can come and go freely among ten thousand Huns and severely injure Wudan?
"The envoy... really knows how to joke. I just want to see the envoy's martial arts, but I have no plan to meet the envoy." Tie Huali was discouraged, and he didn't dare to joke with Liang Xiao anymore. Desperate, that's not good. "Furthermore, if the two countries are at war, they will not be beheaded. The Han Dynasty and the Yue clan are allied countries, so how can they meet each other with swords. I just want to..."

"The general wants to see the bow." Liang Xiao beckoned.Sigma came over and handed the black bow.Liang Xiao took the bow in his hand and fired it three times in a row, with ease, without red face or panting.I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the three times he drew his bow, he aimed at Tie Huali. Although he didn't set up the arrow, his murderous aura was not weak at all.

Tie Huali hastily shifted his gaze, looking at the black bow. "Is this the legendary human bow? I've heard about it for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen it. I wonder if the messenger can let me touch it with my own hands."

"Yes, as long as the general can beat me with an arrow."

"What does the envoy mean?" Facing Liang Xiao's pressing step by step, Tie Huali finally couldn't hold back his anger, lowered his face, and said sharply: "I asked each other with kind words, but the envoy spoke harsh words to each other. Could it be that you Is it reasonable for Han people to be guests?"

"The master is like a wolf, how can you ask the guests to be like sheep? To treat friends, you should use fine wine, and to deal with wolves, you can only use swords." Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and stared at Tie Huali unceremoniously. "General, do you think...is this the truth?"

Tie Huali's face was red and his ears were red, feeling ashamed.

Although the Yuezhi people are nomads, they never consider themselves barbarians.Before 70, the Yuezhi people were still the overlords of the grasslands, and even the Huns accepted hostages from them.Although it has declined now, the arrogance of a big country is still in the bones.

A big country naturally has the demeanor of a big country, and being rude is a shame.Tie Huali had no intention of having a life-and-death fight with Liang Xiao, but he just wanted to break Liang Xiao's spirit, so that he would not regard Aliusu as a dandy like Batu, but he did not expect that Liang Xiao was completely different from the Han people in his impression. Not only did he not give way, but he pressed on step by step, caught off guard, and forced him into a dead corner.He lost both his momentum and his demeanor.

This is no wonder Tie Huali.The Han people he had come into contact with before were either businessmen or refugees, so if they wanted something from him, they would naturally be polite and compromise. He had never met a Han person with such a background as Liang Xiao.In haste, he suffered a dull loss, and his position was in chaos.

In contrast, Liang Xiao knew much more about him.At the beginning, he brazenly shot and killed Zhen'an's guards because he was afraid that he would escape and report to Tie Huali.Once Tie Huali sent people to stop the mountain pass, he would not be able to get out of the valley at all, he was in a dilemma, how could he be as stubborn as he is now.Even if Tie Huali left in a huff, he could still travel east and go straight to Aliusu for a theory.

Seeing that Tie Huali was in a state of embarrassment, he no longer had the arrogance he had before.Liang Xiao laughed loudly, breaking the embarrassment first.

"I've heard for a long time that the general is serious and can't joke. Seeing you today, it's true." Liang Xiao warmly invited. "Come on, general, please take a seat. I happen to have some questions to ask the general."

Tie Huali let out a long breath, and hurriedly said a few words of humility.Liang Xiao said he was joking now, but he didn't mean to be joking at all just now, instead there was a possibility of a disagreement and a confrontation between swords and soldiers.Tie Huali's back was covered in cold sweat now, and he didn't dare to care about Liang Xiao anymore.

The two sat down and chatted a few words.Liang Xiao asked when Li Shuyun left, and was relieved when he learned that Aliusu personally escorted them eastward.When Batu said that he was sure to persuade Aliusu, he still didn't quite believe it.Looking at it now, Batu looks heartless, but he is not an idiot.

Then they talked about the Huns.Liang Xiao got a little angry about this matter.It is now the end of June, and autumn is about to enter.The Huns may launch an attack at any time, but he has not even seen Aliusu's face.Judging from Tie Huali's attitude, Aliusu might not be easy to persuade.

Sure enough, as soon as Liang Xiao opened his mouth, Tie Huali interrupted him.

"This is too risky. In the first battle last year, although our department's strength has grown rapidly, the various departments are still not in harmony. It is still possible to deal with the Wusun people, and to deal with the Huns army..." Tie Huali shook his head repeatedly. "It's not that I destroy my prestige and build up the ambition of others. There is a huge disparity in strength, and there is no possibility of victory. The prince will never agree."

Liang Xiao's heart sank.Zhen'an is Alieusu's confidant, and Tie Huali is Alieusu's trusted general. The two have the same opinion, which shows that what they said is the truth.It would be extremely difficult for Aliusu to attract the main force of the Huns and rush to the front as cannon fodder.

This may simply be an impossible task.

The emperor sat in the hall, scratching his brows, thinking hard.

Guo Sheren stood aside, holding his breath, for fear of disturbing the emperor's thinking.The emperor was in a bad mood today, as if he had lost something, but he couldn't think of what he had lost.

Thinking of the sound of wearing rings outside the hall, Empress Chen Ajiao walked over gracefully accompanied by a group of maids. Seeing the appearance of the emperor, Chen Ajiao laughed softly, waved her hand to signal the ladies to stay outside the hall, and walked into the hall alone , leaning against the emperor, and gently pushed him.

"What does the magistrate think?"

"Oh." The emperor woke up like a dream. "A-Jiao, why are you here?"

"I got a new Fu, and I think it's good, so I want to share it with the magistrate." Chen Ajiao took out a silk book from her sleeve, and happily stuffed it into the hands of the emperor. "The county magistrate's article is better than mine. Please help me to see if it's really good."

"Which fu family is it from? To discuss fu..." The emperor was stunned suddenly, and turned to look at Guo Sheren. "By the way, I finally remembered. Where's Dongfang Shuo? I haven't seen him for many days. Where did he go?"

"Dongfang Shuo, he resigned and went on a tour. I heard that he is going to the Western Regions."

"Western Region?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. "Going to the Western Regions at this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as traveling?"

"That's not it." Guo Sheren said with a smile: "I heard that when Liang Xiao was in Chang'an, they were neighbors and they had a good relationship. The car he was riding in was given by Liang Xiao. Now that Liang Xiao is doing meritorious service in the Western Regions, he is probably jealous. , followed suit."

The emperor cocked his mouth and did not speak, but his eyes were a little gloomy.The Xiongnu conquered Dawan in the west, and he was out of reach. He could only watch Liang Xiao being destroyed by the Huns. This feeling was very bad.When he was helpless, Dongfang Shuo resigned as an official and rushed to the Western Regions, which made him feel even more incompetent.

The dignified son of heaven is not as comfortable as Dongfang Shuo, how boring.

Chen Ajiao came here on a whim, but was left aside by the emperor, and her mood suddenly became bad.She said angrily: "The county magistrate is really busy with government affairs, and he doesn't even know Dongfang Shuo is gone?"

The emperor was unhappy, but he couldn't attack it.He rolled his eyes, and said in a harmonious voice: "A-Jiao, I heard that last time the Grand Master summoned Liang Xiao's mother, Liang Wei, for questioning, did you ask anything?"

"What can I ask? Lady Liang was originally a daughter of Zhao. She practiced dancing since she was a child and wanted to enter the Liang Palace. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough qualifications. Later, she was exiled to Jiangdu and became a weaver."

"that's it?"

"That's all." Chen Ajiao gave the emperor a white look. "What else does the county magistrate want to know, I'll go and find out for you."

"Then... what is the impression of the Empress Dowager on Liang Xiao?"

"Empress Dowager? Ha!" Chen Ajiao laughed exaggeratedly twice. "The Empress Dowager only remembers the things related to King Liang, and everything else is confused. She doesn't care who Liang Xiao is."

The emperor smiled, put his arms around Chen Ajiao's shoulders, and helped her to sit aside, the smile on his face became brighter, and he begged a little more. "A-Jiao, there is something that I don't know what to do. How about you help me with my staff?"

Chen Ajiao looked at the emperor in surprise and beamed with joy.She has been a queen for so long, and this is the first time the emperor has asked her for advice.She held the emperor's hand instead, and said without thinking: "What's the matter, just tell me. As long as I can help you, I will definitely help you."

"Well... I have a hawk, a very good hawk. This hawk can help me catch rabbits, and it can also help me chase away wolves. Now, because this hawk hunts too many prey, it is killed by the pack of wolves. I've caught him. Tell me, should I save him?"

"Of course it should be saved. Wouldn't it be a pity for such a good eagle to be killed by a wolf?" Chen Ajiao suddenly called out. "The eagle you're talking about is Liang Xiao, right? Why, is he in danger?"

"Yes, he is being targeted by the Huns." The emperor shook Chen Ajiao's hand. "A-Jiao, do you know why last winter was so peaceful? It was because Liang Xiao shot and killed King Hunxie and his son, and attracted the Huns to the Western Regions. He is a hero of the court."

Chen Ajiao rolled her eyes, clapped her hands and laughed, "I see, you want to send troops, but you're afraid that the empress dowager won't allow it, don't you?"

The emperor nodded awkwardly.

"I can help you talk about it. But if it is done, how can you thank me for saving your eagle?"

"As long as it can be said, I will thank you as much as you want me to."

Chen Ajiao was overjoyed, rolled up her sleeves, and showed her small palms. "Well then, a word from a gentleman..."

The emperor blinked his eyes, hesitated for a moment, raised his palm and hit Chen Ajiao twice. "A four-horse horse is hard to follow."
