Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 369 Dongfang Shuo Gets Out of Trouble

Mo and his father and son knelt in front of King Youxian, begging bitterly, but could not afford to kneel for long.

King Youxian was furious, like an enraged lion, panting heavily, pacing back and forth in the big tent.

"Confused!" You Xian Wang pointed at Mo Yu and sternly reprimanded him. "You are really confused. Liang Xiao robbed Jiaohe City and robbed your family, yet you still make a deal with him? You still let go of the army and ran back to ask me to replace you?"

"Your Majesty, those are my Yan family and my younger sister." Mo Yu kowtowed repeatedly, weeping uncontrollably.

As Che Shiwang, this was the first time he lost his composure, even in front of Youxian King.He also knew that this request was a little too much. Dongfang Shuo was Tu Qi (a wise man) whom King Youxian took a fancy to. King Youxian spent so much effort just to subdue him.The Huns are very powerful, but there are few wise men. A central banker said that he helped the two generations of Shanyu solve many problems.Dongfang Shuo is more wise than Zhongxing said, so how can King Youxian give up easily.

However, he has no other options. He can't watch his Yan family and his younger sister be killed by Liang Xiao, and he can't watch his only son become a monk and die of blood.

Mo Yu begged again and again, but King Youxian just refused.He really wanted to order someone to drive Mo and his father and son out, but he felt it was inappropriate and hesitant.In desperation, he asked Mo and his father and son to go out to rest first, let him think about it, and then sent someone to invite Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo was a little careless after hearing King Youxian's distress. "My lord, are you willing to listen to my advice?"

"Of course." King Youxian was overjoyed, this was the first time Dongfang Shuo was willing to advise him.However, he immediately became vigilant again. "Sir, this king is sincere to you, without hypocrisy..."

Dongfang Shuo smiled. "It is precisely because of His Majesty's sincerity that Shuo wanted to persuade His Majesty. As far as the present matter is concerned, no matter whether Your Majesty is willing to exchange it or not, you have already lost."

Youxian King's face twitched.

Although he is not as knowledgeable as Dongfang Shuo, he is not stupid either.A fool can't be the Right Wise King.Liang Xiao tricked Mo and his father and son to come back, already pushing him into an embarrassing situation.If he agreed to exchange, he would lose Dongfang Shuo.If you don't agree to the exchange, you will lose Che Shiguo.If Che Shi Wang's Yan family and Wang Mei died in the hands of Liang Xiao, even if Che Shi Wang could bear it, his son Che Yi would not be able to bear it.

As Dongfang Shuo said, whether he agreed to the exchange or not, he lost.

"Liang Xiao's purpose is not to exchange hostages at all, but to delay time." The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth twitched, and there was a bit of relief in his smile, but also a bit of contempt. "Being blocked by the mountain first is the situation Liang Xiao hopes for. It doesn't really matter whether you change people or not."

Youxian King's eyes froze, and a cold light burst out for an instant, followed by a burst of melancholy.He was dizzy from the crying of Mo and his father and son, and he didn't expect this level.Thinking about it now, this is indeed Liang Xiao's real purpose, and it doesn't matter whether he returns to Dongfang Shuo or not.

"This……"

"Your Majesty, you must admit that you are not as good as Liang Xiao." Dongfang Shuo laughed silently. "You can't get my allegiance, but I can be your friend. From the standpoint of a friend, I advise you not to go against Liang Xiao."

King Youxian's face darkened. "Mr. Dongfang, you are not what a friend should say. Although Liang Xiao is a young hero and full of ingenuity, he is alone and lonely. As long as you give me a little time, I will definitely be able to defeat him."

"You can beat Liang Xiao, but you can't beat a big man." Dongfang Shuo raised his eyebrows, his eyes serious. "You captured Zhang Qian, and Liang Xiao came. If you defeated Liang Xiao, wouldn't my Han court send others? Since Emperor Liu Bang, the conflict between the Han and the Huns has accumulated for more than 60 years. Today's Han is not the Huns at all People can handle it. Your Majesty, are you going to be the first person to be killed by the Sword of Revenge?"

King Youxian was stunned and remained silent.He was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back, and sat down on the throne covered with tiger skin, resting his forehead with one hand, frowning tightly.

Dongfang Shuo's words reminded him.Liang Xiao was not a gang of rogues who just grabbed one and left. His coming to the Western Regions was the beginning of the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.If he only limited himself to driving away Liang Xiao, his vision would be too narrow.

"My lord, 80 years ago, Qin took advantage of the power to unify the world, sent 30 troops, and seized Henan in one fell swoop. Now, the Han has rested for 60 years, the country is rich and the people are strong, and its strength is not comparable to that of Emperor Gao. Do you think the Huns are still opponents? ?"

King Youxian thumped in his heart, and forced himself to smile calmly: "Mr. Dongfang, don't forget that the Huns are the masters of the grasslands. No matter how rich and powerful you are, you must also offer princesses. Only by donating money, silk, and food every year can you exchange for me. Mercy of the Huns."

Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly. "Before Mengtian sent troops to Henan, Touman Shanyu also said the same."

Youxian King's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and a dark cloud floated over his heart, heavy.

"Your Majesty, if Liang Xiao is defeated, he can return to the Great Han Dynasty without losing his position. If Your Majesty loses, the Huns on the right may have to change. My Majesty, listen to my advice, don't fight any more, and withdraw. Let’s go to the grassland. It’s never too late to make up for it. When the food and grass are exhausted and the soldiers are lost, you just want to go back, but you may not be able to go back. King Hunxie’s lesson from the past, the king must remember.”

King Youxian gasped, his heart was pounding, and his scalp became tense.Dongfang Shuo mentioned the Hunxie King's Department, which really touched his sore spot.Old King Hunxie pursued Liang Xiao and died in battle. The royal family of Hunxie had internal strife because of the struggle for power, and their decline was inevitable.If he continued to stalemate with Liang Xiao, even if he defeated Liang Xiao, there would be nothing to gain, but if he lost, there would be countless people who coveted him as the Right Wise King.

Dongfang Shuo was right, if Liang Xiao lost, he could come again.If he loses, it will be beyond redemption.

"So... the master has decided to go?"

Dongfang Shuo bowed. "I will not be loyal to the king, but I hope to be the king's friend."

King You Xian sighed: "It is my biggest loss not to be able to get the teacher's teaching. Well, you can go back to Liang Xiao's side."

Dongfang Shuo salutes again. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Take care, Your Majesty."

Dongfang Shuo followed Mo and his father and son back to Mount Qijiao.

Mo and his father and son didn't know how Dongfang Shuo persuaded King Youxian.In short, King Youxian agreed, and their wish came true. This is the most important point, so they worshiped Dongfang Shuo so much.It was originally two hostile parties, but was detained by the Huns, enjoyed the VIP treatment, and was able to leave swaggeringly in the end. Dongfang Shuo is definitely a miracle.

Dongfang Shuo was fine, chatting with Mo and his father and son along the way.Mo Yu had long known that Dongfang Shuo was capable of talking, but it was the first time Che Yi got along with Dongfang Shuo, and he was immediately stunned by Dongfang Shuo's talking.Out of youthful pride, Che Yi took out the Buddhist theories he had studied for more than ten years, and discussed the Tao with Dongfang Shuo.

At this time, Buddhism is still a very profound knowledge, not just a profession.Roughly speaking, it is similar to the "Tao Jing" in the "Tao Te Ching", and they are all conjectures about the universe and heaven and earth.Dongfang Shuo has a wide range of knowledge, and he has also studied Taoism. He also found it very interesting to hear about Buddhism.The two hit it off and became good friends.

After seeing Xian Shanling, the Huns who were traveling with Dongfang Shuo conveyed the order of King Youxian to give up the pursuit and stand by for orders.Although it was strange to brush off the zero first, he didn't say anything, watching Dongfang Shuo walk away.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo, Liang Xiao grinned happily.

"It seems to be fat again." Liang Xiao patted Dongfang Shuo's round belly. "Comparable to Moya."

"No way, good wine and good meat are served every day, so it's hard not to lose weight." Dongfang Shuo patted his belly proudly and laughed.He walked around Liang Xiao, looked Liang Xiao up and down. "How are you? I heard that you were lying on the ice and swallowing the snow, and you didn't lose anything, right? If you are disabled, your future will be ruined. People with disabled limbs cannot be in the court."

Liang Xiao was taken aback. "There is still this rule?"

"What do you think?" Dongfang Shuo curled his lips in disdain. "Above the court, solemn and solemn, do you want to talk about a disabled person? Unless you want to be a comedian."

Liang Xiao opened Dongfang Shuo's hand, squinted at him, and suppressed a smile. "I remember someone who seems to be in the company of comedians."

"Oh, I won't mention it." Dongfang Shuo became depressed. "Okay, I'm back, let me go. Let me go, let's go to Puleihai quickly, don't be preempted by King Youxian."

Liang Xiao was very surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions, and immediately asked someone to bring Queen Che Shi and Mo Ya, and also sent two horses.Although Mo Ya was pregnant and her body was a little clumsy, she didn't hesitate at all when she got on the horse.She looked at Liang Xiao. "My lord, there will be a period later."

"There will be a chance." Liang Xiao smiled. "Next time I have a chance, I want to drink with your husband."

Moya nodded, kicked the horse forward, and gradually drifted away.Dongfang Shuo was puzzled. "Why do you... like pregnant women?"

"Get lost!" Liang Xiao spat angrily. "Her husband's name is Wu Guinian, and he is Han. However, I suspect this is a fake name."

"Really?" Dongfang Shuo became curious, pulling Liang Xiao to ask questions.Liang Xiao ordered people to pack up and leave Qishanjiao. He personally stayed behind to prevent the Huns from going back on their word.Fortunately, the Huns had no intention of pursuing them at all, and the road went very peacefully.

Liang Xiao and Dongfang Shuo exchanged the situation after they parted, and when they heard that Dongfang Shuo was in Chigu City, Liang Xiao suddenly interrupted Dongfang Shuo. "I said, you won't take down that Hun woman in Arikan, will you?"

"What happened to the Hun woman?"

"You have really strong taste." Liang Xiao shook his head with contempt.

"You still have the nerve to say it?" Dongfang Shuo became excited. "If it weren't for your impetuosity, would I have to make such a big sacrifice? My good boy Dongfang Shuo would actually sacrifice his appearance. Is it easy for me? Can you be more stable? When you were in Chang'an, you still had a bit of city power , why do you feel like rushing to reincarnate once you arrive in the Western Regions?"

"Reincarnation?" Tu Niu'er opened the window and poked his head in. "What does the word fresh mean?"

Dongfang Shuo reached out to hold Tu Niu'er's face, pushed him out, and closed the window. "This is the knowledge of the Tianzhu people. If you don't understand it, don't interrupt."

"I'll go!" Tu Niu'er became furious. "You cheating eater, how dare you look down on me? Come down if you have the guts, and I will fight you one-on-one."
