Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 308 The Muscular Man's Scheming
Liang Xiao steered his horse back and reined in his mount a few steps away, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

In the dark night, he could only be sure that he had shot Aliusu, but he was not absolutely sure where he had shot and whether he had hit the vital point.To be on the safe side, he aimed at Alieusu's abdomen, but who could guarantee that Alieusu would not lower his head and be shot in the head by him?

After Aliusu fell off his horse, there was no movement, not even the sound of a gun, which is not a good sign.Although he announced a life-and-death duel to his subordinates and would not allow them to retaliate, if he really died, who would control those Yuezhi people, and who would guarantee that they obeyed the order?

What's more, if he died, all strategic plans would come to naught.

Liang Xiao hesitated for a while, jumped off the horse, and walked towards the motionless Aliusu.

The black horse was snorting, and the horse's hooves kicked the sand making a noise. It opened its mouth to bite Liang Xiao's clothes, and shook its head again and again, looking a little anxious.

Liang Xiao was puzzled and turned to comfort it.The horse has been with him for a long time, and has become a good friend who can't speak.It is suddenly so uneasy, there must be a reason.Liang Xiao was vigilant and listened attentively. At the same time, he held the bow in his left hand, put on the arrow, and was ready for the emergency.

At this moment, Aliusu, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, roared, and rushed towards Liang Xiao.

Hearing the wind behind him, Liang Xiao shot without thinking.Draw the string, draw the bow, and release the arrow, all in one go.

Aliusu let out a muffled snort, and his fluttering figure froze slightly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang Xiaofei jumped onto the mount.Seeing this, Aliusu endured the severe pain, and rushed forward again, jumped up a few steps away, and stretched out his hand to grab Liang Xiao who was on the horse.Seeing that his stretch was about to touch Liang Xiao's back, the black horse suddenly turned around, pointed its buttocks at Aliusu, raised its hind hoof and kicked.

With two "bang bangs", Aliusu was kicked more than ten steps away and landed heavily. With a "wow", he spat out two mouthfuls of blood.He couldn't stand the pain anymore, clutched his chest, and numb in pain.

Liang Xiao's back was covered in cold sweat.Thinking about Aliusu's physique, you can imagine what would happen if you were caught by him.If Mingzhu hadn't warned and kicked Aliusu away, the consequences would be worrisome for him now, not only would he be unable to keep his bow, but he would also be caught by Aliusu and Haibian would be beaten up.

Unexpectedly, this muscular man has such a scheming heart.I was deceived by his appearance, but I forgot that this is a hero who has fought for many years, and I almost fell into his trap.

"Mingzhu, thank you, I will feed you some good food when I go back."

Mingzhu held her head high and neighed, she shook her mane with pride, and galloped away at a brisk pace.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, everyone turned their eyes in unison.Seeing that only Liang Xiao came back, but Aliusu was nowhere to be seen, Tu Niu'er and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but the Yuezhi people exploded.Aliusu's personal guards drew their weapons at the same time and surrounded them.Tu Niu'er, Pang Shuo and others looked at it, but couldn't help but draw their bows and arrows, raised their shields and drew their swords, and stood in front of Liang Xiao.For a while, the atmosphere was tense, and a conflict was imminent.

Liang Xiao waved his hand, handed the bow in his hand to Sigma, and shouted again: "Really safe?!"

Really arranged for the crowd to come out and come in front of Liang Xiao.His face was pale, his eyes were flustered, and he was obviously in a mess.

"Your envoy, my prince..."

"Your prince was injured and fell off the horse, hurry up and save him."

When Zhenan heard this, he was relieved, and hurriedly greeted several knights, holding a torch, and galloped away.Liang Xiao got off the horse, looked at the Yuezhi people who were about to shoot arrows, laughed, and ignored them, and took the feed bag from the spare horse, and put it in front of the black horse.The black horse lowered its neck, began to eat with relish, and snorted from time to time.

Seeing Liang Xiao's appearance, the Yuezhi people also relaxed a little, and slowly backed away, but refused to disperse, still holding their weapons tightly, and surrounded Liang Xiao and the others.

After a while, there was a sound of chaotic hoofbeats, and Zhen An galloped back and drank a few words loudly.After hearing this, the Yue clan no longer cared about Liang Xiao and dispersed one after another.Zhenan jumped off the horse and walked quickly to Liang Xiao, the cold sweat on his forehead glistening under the torch.

"Your envoy, it's dangerous."

Liang Xiao glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "Not dead?" There was a bit of regret in his tone.

Zhenan was taken aback, a little unhappy. "Your envoy really wants to shoot my prince?"

"It's your prince who wants my life, so why should I be polite to him?" Liang Xiao spat hard and sneered, "I don't know what is good or bad, but death is not worth it. The skills are not as good as others, so I sneaked up from behind. His hero is nothing more than that, and I can be regarded as having learned the lesson."

Liang Xiao spoke Chinese, which Zhenan didn't quite understand.But the interpreter understood, but he didn't dare to say it directly, but whispered a few words in Zhen'an's ear.Zhenan's face changed slightly.When he saw Aliusu's injury, he felt a little strange, but now he heard Liang Xiao say that, he realized that there must be something hidden in it.He slowed down and lowered his voice.

"My lord, what is going on?"

Liang Xiao shrugged. "Go back and ask your prince, I'm too embarrassed to say."

Really embarrassed, she turned and left.

Liang Xiao ordered to set up camp.No matter how much Aliusu was hurt, he couldn't go now, and he couldn't go away.That being the case, it is better to be more calm, so as not to intensify contradictions and cause unnecessary conflicts.

Just as the camp was set up, Zhen'an rushed back again, followed by several guards, holding pots of wine in their hands, driving a herd of sheep, estimated to be hundreds of them, and several horses on their backs. Packages big and small.Zhen'an walked up to Liang Xiao with a happy expression on his face.

"Your envoy, my prince is safe. He gave these sheep and wine to your envoy. Please rest here for one night, and I will invite your envoy to discuss matters tomorrow."

Liang Xiao nodded. "Is it okay to be hurt?"

"Hmm..." Zhenan hesitated for a moment. "It's nothing serious. However, I hurt my thigh and won't be able to ride a horse for a while."

Liang Xiao smiled and said nothing more.He accepted the gifts, had the sheep slaughtered, prepared the supper, and distributed all the wine.After so many days of hard work, I can finally relax.

The soldiers rejoiced.

Jincheng, the ferry of the Yellow River.

Dongfang Shuo, who was traveling west, met Li Shuyun, who was returning east.

After unloading most of the cargo, the speed of Li Shuyun and others increased greatly, and their luck seemed to improve. They hardly encountered large-scale Wusun people and Huns along the way.Even if they met sporadic Qiang people and saw these more than 300 well-equipped mercenaries, no one dared to attack the caravan.

After more than a month of trekking and a journey of more than 4000 miles, they arrived in Jincheng smoothly.After crossing the Yellow River, they entered the territory of Han.

Li Shuyun was very lucky.After communicating with Dongfang Shuo, I realized that my luck was largely related to Liang Xiao.Whether it is the Wusun people or the Huns, they may have received the order of the Xiongnu Shanyu and are gathering on the grassland. The Hexi Corridor is empty of troops, which allows him to pass so easily.

"How many people went west?"

"I don't know yet." Dongfang Shuo said: "When I left Chang'an, I only knew that the Huns might take action. The emperor arranged for three generals, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, and Han Anguo, to strengthen the defense of the border. Limited by the public opinion of the court, It is impossible for them to leave the country in large numbers, and they may even not leave the country. Therefore, if Liang Xiao wants to stabilize the Western Regions, he has to rely on himself."

Li Shuyun was taken aback.He participated in the whole battle at the beginning of the year, and he knew the strength of the Dawan people and the Yuezhi people. If the Huns were really going to march west, no matter how powerful Liang Xiao was, he couldn't stop the Huns.

"What are you doing in the Western Regions?"

Dongfang Shuo sighed: "I have been in Chang'an for so long, and he is the only friend who is willing to spend money. I can't watch him being bullied by the Huns, so naturally I rushed to help him. According to Guo Yu, Dawan not only has BMW, There are fine wines and beauties, I want to see them too."

Li Shuyun didn't say a word.He knew that Dongfang Shuo had never been in good shape.However, because Liang Xiao encountered difficulties, he was able to abandon his official position and travel thousands of miles to help Liang Xiao. This chivalrous spirit was no less than that of any knight-errant.You must know that when they left Chang'an last year, Dongfang Shuo was already a doctor of the Taizhong with a height of two thousand stones, and a close minister of the emperor.

Li Shuyun hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth. "Sir, wait a moment, I will make arrangements to return to the Western Regions with you."

"Aren't you going to Chang'an?"

"No, the war in the Western Regions is important. There are not many trustworthy people around Sir, I should go back and help him."

Dongfang Shuo thought for a while, then shook his head. "No, it's better for you to go to Chang'an. Only you can inform the emperor about the situation in the Western Regions. Either asking the Emperor to issue an edict, or lobbying some like-minded friends to go to the Western Regions is more useful than you alone. If you have time, It would be good for you to go to Shangjun, meet General Li Guang, tell him the situation in the Western Regions, and ask him to arrange some manpower."

Li Shuyun felt that it was reasonable, and after discussing with Guo Wenbin and others, he decided to divide the army into two groups.He and Guo Wenbin took Dawan horses and escorted Batu back to Chang'an to report to the emperor. The caravan was led by other merchants and moved forward slowly.Anyway, they have already entered the Han territory, so there is no need to worry about the Huns' harassment, it doesn't matter if they walk a little slower.Guo Wenbin can arrange sales channels for them in advance, and they can trade when they arrive in Chang'an without wasting time.

In order to protect Dongfang Shuo and increase his speed of action, Li Shuyun ordered Linghu to lead most of the mercenaries back to the Western Regions with Dongfang Shuo.Although it was a pity for these mercenaries that they were so close to Chang'an and had no chance to see Chang'an City, the task of protecting Dongfang Shuo was more important.As long as you help Liang Xiao make great contributions, there will be many opportunities to come to Chang'an in the future.

After the discussion, Li Shuyun and Guo Wenbin led fifty mercenaries and drove over a hundred Dawan horses to Chang'an.Before leaving, Li Shuyun avoided Guo Wenbin and others, and quietly told Dongfang Shuo the location of the treasure.

Dongfang Shuo understood and smiled.
