Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 420 Spectroscopy

Chang'an, Huainan Mansion, was full of guests and friends.

Under the gaze of everyone, in the lobby, Deng Guobin carefully held out a crystal clear glazed triangular prism, placed it on the wooden frame by the window, and then nodded to the waiter beside him.

The waiters pulled the heavy wall hangings to cover the windows one by one.The bright sunlight was blocked outside, the lobby gradually darkened, and you couldn't see your fingers.The guests were taken aback, some screamed out loud, but a burst of ridicule erupted.

"Where did the savage come from? What a fuss."

"Who knows, the accent seems to come from Qi. It's no wonder that although people in Qi talk about gods, they have never seen anything in the world. The Lord Weng said last time that the so-called fairy mountains in the sea are just caused by sea fog. Illusions, only those who don't know can be regarded as gods."

"Hehe, isn't that right." The man was silent for a moment, then laughed again: "My Lord Weng was deceived by Dongfang Shuo, Qi Ren doesn't have a good impression."

"Hahaha……"

While whispering, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bright light shot out from the gap in the wall hangings, and it was shining on the glazed triangular prism. In an instant, a rainbow of seven colors shot out from the triangular prism, shining straight on the plain wall opposite. On the sky, although it has faded a lot, it is radiant and beautiful.

"Wow—" everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Alas—" a sound of warblers and swallows came from upstairs. "It's so beautiful, is this a rainbow?"

"Hey, isn't a rainbow as curved as a bow? Why is this rainbow as straight as an arrow?"

"Hee hee, it's probably because Lord Weng likes the arrow god Liang Xiao, so even the rainbow has become straight."

There was a lot of laughter, and then someone said: "Shut up, you have offended Lord Weng, and I won't invite you next time." Before the words finished, the man laughed himself.The laughter was clear and tender, and the tone was off-beat, clearly a young girl in her prime.

Sitting in the private room facing the lobby on the second floor, Liu Ling smiled awkwardly. "These people are really outspoken, making the queen laugh."

Under the dim light, the empress Chen Ajiao, who was sitting in the front seat, covered her lips and glanced at Liu Ling. "Although these people are outspoken, they are not wrong. You don't have to be shy, men are unmarried, women are unmarried, and the two are in love. Knowing Liang Xiao in the grass, this kind of vision is rare among us girls."

"The queen has won the award." Liu Ling's face was slightly dizzy. "Even if Liang Xiao is a thousand-mile horse, he must be driven by a wise king like His Majesty. Empress, these two days..."

Chen Ajiao waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's rare for me to go to the palace to relax, and you're talking about these state affairs again, so I won't come next time."

Liu Ling understood, and quickly apologized, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.Northern Xinjiang is fighting, and Liang Xiao is the main force of the three-way army.It is true that Li Guang is a famous general, but this time the expedition is different from the previous ones, not only the total strength is over [-], but it is also an active attack.Whether it will be successful or not, no one is sure.

As the lord of Huainan, Liu Ling knows the inside story better than others.The Son of Heaven took power for the first time, and he needed a hearty victory to prove his ability.In case of failure, he will face doubts from the ruling and opposition subjects, and the pressure cannot be small.These pressures will eventually be transferred to Liang Xiao and others. If they fail, Liang Xiao and others may also become scapegoats.

From Liu Ling's point of view, the odds of winning this battle are limited.Not only is the force not dominant, but the number of cavalry is seriously insufficient. The plan of this three-way attack itself is very problematic.No matter which road meets the main force of the Huns, the other two roads will have no time to rescue them, and they will be alone.

If this big defeat only caused serious damage to the prestige of the emperor, Liu Ling would not object, but if Liang Xiao might become a scapegoat, she would not accept it.It was so easy to earn a marquis, and it would be too bad if it was lost due to the emperor's strategic mistakes.

Inviting the queen to listen to the lecture, Liu Ling just wanted to inquire about the situation in the palace through the queen, and guess whether the progress of the battle is going smoothly from the changes in the emperor's mood.Although the queen didn't say it clearly, she had revealed some clues, which made Liu Ling even more worried.

"Okay, don't worry about it." The queen persuaded: "I want to discuss something with you, and I ask my sister to agree."

Liu Ling quickly pulled himself together. "Queen, please tell me, as long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse."

"Your lecture hall here is really good. It's hard to find one. The guests almost squeezed through the threshold of Huainan Mansion. My house is neglected, and the cases are full of dust. Look... can you hold a lecture at my house, and let me My mother is watching the fun?"

Liu Ling raised his eyebrows, a little hesitant.She knew what the queen meant, but she was more aware of the possible troubles.

The queen took Liu Ling's hand and begged: "Sister, you only need to arrange for two people to attend the meeting and give lectures. You don't need to worry about other things. If necessary, my mother can pay a lot of money to hire her, and I will never let my sister suffer."

Liu Ling couldn't refuse, and said with a smile: "The queen is too polite. It is their honor to be the guest of the Grand Master. There is no reason to refuse. Don't worry, as long as the Grand Master makes arrangements, they can attend at any time."

"Then thank you, sister." The queen smiled, leaned into Liu Ling's ear again, and said softly: "Sister, ten days ago, in Longyou's great victory, Li Guang accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion and made an emergency landing on King Xiutu. Thirty thousand horses. If there are no accidents, Liang Xiao can be sealed again this time."

"Really?" Liu Ling raised his brows with joy and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.With this achievement at the bottom of the battle, even if you suffer a little setback later, you can still pay off your merits.

"Can I still lie to you?" The queen giggled and said, "But the war is not over yet, the outcome is yet to be judged, the emperor doesn't want people to think he is frivolous, so he didn't announce it to the government and the public, only a few ministers know. You can Do not speak out."

Liu Ling nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Listen to the lectures, listen to the lectures. Empress, this theory of light separation is very interesting and worth listening to."

"Okay, okay." The queen was satisfied, and turned her eyes to the lecture in the classroom.

After Deng Guobin demonstrated the light-splitting technique, he ordered people to open the window curtains, and the sun shone in again, shining on his slightly pale face, which looked so radiant.After watching the miraculous scene just now, the guests were all curious, and they didn't bother to taste the good wine and good fruits, and listened to his explanation wholeheartedly.Although not everyone is interested in studying these small techniques, it is always good to have more talk.

Nowadays, the lectures in Huainan Mansion are the topics that the scholars in the capital are most fond of talking about. There are rumors that even the emperor pretended to be an ordinary scholar on many occasions and mixed in the crowd to listen to the lectures.If there is a chance to meet this white dragon in fish suit and let him see his talent, maybe he will have a chance to rise to the top.

Isn't this how Liang Xiao, who is now famous and famous, is caught by the emperor at a glance.

Even if you don't have the chance to meet the emperor, being spotted by the beauties from the famous family on the second floor, marrying a noble lady is still a joy in life.

It's hard to say how many of Ruyun's guests are for academics, how many are for the legendary opportunity, and how many are for the beauties in the private room on the second floor. With fame and popularity, Liu Ling's goal has been achieved.

Deng Guobin downstairs was giving a lecture, and people upstairs greeted him from time to time outside the private room.Ordinary people can't go up to the second floor, and all the female guests who come to greet them are on the second floor.The owner, Liu Ling, did not show up today, and he was alert to realize that there were distinguished guests here today, and came to the private room to inquire about the news.

Liu Ling asked Queen Chen Ajiao what she meant, but she declined all of them.Before the lecture was over, Empress Chen left the meeting early and left the Huainan mansion through the side door.

Back to Weiyang Palace, the car drove into Simamen, turned north, and stopped in front of the ramp on the east side of Jiaofang Hall.With the support of the maid, Empress Chen got out of the car, stepped on the white marble steps, and was about to enter the palace, when she suddenly saw a fast horse galloping from the north side, with rapid hoofbeats, and could hear the score in the solemn Weiyang Palace. outside clear.

Empress Chen turned around and walked down the corridor, watching the knights gallop past the Jiaofang Hall and head for the Chengming Hall.

Empress Chen hesitated.She is not interested in government affairs, nor is she good at it. If she ran over to ask questions at this time, she might only annoy the emperor.But when she thought of Liu Ling, she had to bite the bullet again.When the Empress Dowager passed away, she left all her treasures to her mother, but failed to retain her prestige.Now that the Chen family is as rich as an enemy country, it is already in decline, and it urgently needs the support of rising stars like Liang Xiao and Liu Ling.

It was so easy to seize the opportunity and get Liu Ling's promise. If such important news cannot be conveyed to Liu Ling in time, will Liu Ling still care?
Empress Chen weighed it for a long time, and sent her attendants to inquire about the news, dressed herself, and waited restlessly in the hall.

After a while, the waiter came back.He didn't find out what the specific news was, but the emperor, Yan Zhu and others were excited, so it should be good news.

Empress Chen let out a long breath, took the prepared snacks and meals, and rushed to Chengming Palace.

In the Chengming Hall, the emperor was beaming with joy, Yan Zhu and the others were beaming with joy, and the emperor and his ministers rejoiced together, even a little carried away.

"Great, great." Tian Zixu clenched his fists and applauded repeatedly. "Defeating King Aries is already half the battle. If King Loufan can be stopped in time, this battle will be considered a success. Henan will be the Han's outpost from now on, and the Huns will never want to graze their horses here."

"Yes, yes." King Wuqiu Shou replied, "Back then Meng Tian only defeated the Xiongnu with an army of 30, but now His Majesty only used an army of [-] to recapture Henan. Go north, open up territories..."

"You are really confused." Yan Zhu lowered his face, and retorted mercilessly: "Your Majesty uses the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. The benevolent is invincible. How can it be compared with the violent Qin Dynasty."

"Uh..." Wuqiu Shouwang knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly apologized. "I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor is in a good mood at the moment, so he doesn't care about these little details.He waved his hands and said with a smile: "You immediately inform the Prime Minister's Mansion that after a great victory, the rewards will be many, let them be prepared, if the rewards are too thin, it will hurt the hearts of the soldiers."

"only!"

Empress Chen walked outside the hall, and just heard this sentence, she couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, thinking about it.
