Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 456 The Gap
Liu An has always wanted to ascend to the throne of God, but he just didn't find a suitable way.

Even if Liang Xiao could be hidden from this point, Huan Yuan couldn't be hidden from it.Huan Yuan is a general under Wu Wang Liu Bi, and Huan Yuan is very clear about the alliance between Liu An and Liu Bi.

Huan Yuan knew, Liang Xiao had no reason not to know.

Therefore, although Liu An was a little nervous about Liang Xiao's words, he was not surprised.

But from another point of view, Liu An is not a fake scholar, but he is not stupid.Although he made an appointment with Liu Bi to raise troops together, he still didn't make a move in the end because he realized that even though Wu Chu was powerful, his chances of winning against the court were still limited.It was so then, and it is even more so now.

There is no chance of taking by force, so Liu An's plan is to take it smoothly.Before that, the Son of Heaven had no sons. As the most senior and most famous virtuous king among the kings, he undoubtedly had a chance to rule the world—at least he thought so.Now, although the Son of Heaven is still childless, he already has a daughter, and his hopes have been dashed.

Obedience is not feasible, and there are only two ways left: either give up, or reverse.

Liu An was not reconciled to giving up.Reversal, lack of strength, too much risk.That's why Liu An has been hesitating, and has never put it into practice. All the plans are hidden in his heart, hidden in his dreams, and he only dreamed back at midnight, thinking about it secretly in no one's place.

Now, Liang Xiao pointed out another way for him: in the name of fighting, build another cave overseas.Jinke can take the world by force - such a large piece of land, and there are descendants of merchants, the strength is much stronger than Huainan, and the probability of success in the opposite direction is greatly increased.If you retreat, you can stand on your own and become a king-the turmoil is far away, and the court is beyond the reach, and the risk of rebellion is greatly reduced.No matter how bad it is, he can still sail overseas, establish himself as a king, and continue to live his happy life.

What Huan Yuan said is right, this is the only way to get what you want without disaster or blame.

It's not that Liu An never thought of such a plan, but he never knew that there was such a large piece of land overseas.He would definitely not be willing to let him go to a barbarian land, but if there was a piece of land that had been developed as early as the Shang Dynasty, he would naturally not refuse.

"Really?"

"If the king doesn't believe in me, how can he not believe in the Lord?"

Liu An hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to the brocade box in Huan Yuan's hand. "Then what is the pursuit of profit?"

Liang Xiao smiled.He got up and walked to Huan Yuan's side, opened the brocade box, took out the silk book in the book bag, walked to the bronze palace lamp, opened the door of the lamp, and put the silk book in.The flame ignited the silk scroll and quickly burned it to ashes.Liang Xiao closed the lamp door again and returned to Liu An.

"It's God's will that Your Majesty chooses to avoid harm, so why care about other choices?" Liang Xiao smiled slyly. "I fell in love with Lord Weng at first sight. Even if the king is willing to marry another daughter to me, I will not accept it. So, let's let that betrothal gift be turned into smoke."

Liu An stared at Liang Xiao, speechless for a while.At first he thought it didn't matter, but now that he knew that "avoiding harm" was such a big plan, how could he not be curious about "seeking profit"?The two betrothal gifts should be equal in weight. "Avoiding harm" is a retreat, and "seeking profit" should also be an amazing benefit.

It's just that he never had the chance to know what this benefit was.

"you……"

"Your Majesty, don't ask any more questions." Seeing that King Huainan still didn't give up, Liang Xiao smiled even more proudly. "I will choose the right opportunity to hand over this strategy to Lord Weng. As for whether she is willing to tell you, then I don't care."

King Huainan heaved a sigh of relief and finally got some comfort.

The king of Huainan agreed to the marriage, Liang Xiao was satisfied, and went out of the palace with Huan Yuan.Although he wanted to go through all the procedures in one go, rules are rules, no matter how impatient he is, he has to go through it step by step.Others, his speed is fast enough, the dowry has been given, and the acceptance, name asking, and Najib are all completed, and the rest of the questioning period and personal welcome are also smooth sailing.

After Liang Xiao left the palace, Liu Qian rushed to King Huainan immediately and asked about the result.King Huainan didn't tell him directly, but asked him a question: "What kind of dowry do you think is worthy of your sister?"

Liu Qian was stunned, thinking hard for a long time. "Gold jack?"

Huainan Wang sneered: "The two businesses in your sister's hands cost several thousand gold a year. Do you think I will be tempted by the thousand gold?"

Liu Qian was a little bored, thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh. "It must be jade. When Liang Xiao returned from the Western Regions, there must be a lot of beautiful jade from the Western Regions."

King Huainan sighed, not hiding his disappointment. "Although beautiful jade from the Western Regions is precious, can't it be bought with money?"

Liu Qian was dumbfounded.He really couldn't think of what dowry gift Liang Xiao could come up with.Huainan Wang met and reminded: "What is our father and son's greatest hope now, and what is our greatest worry?"

Liu Qian rolled his eyes and suddenly realized.He knows this well, the greatest hope is to become an emperor, and the greatest worry is that if the emperor fails to make it, he will be destroyed by the emperor instead.Rebellion is a matter of life and death, with no middle ground.

"Could it be that Liang Xiao is talking about... this matter?" Liu Qian was very upset. "My sister is really in a daze, and I can tell others about such things."

"Liang Xiao is not someone else, he is Huan Yuan's disciple, and Huan Yuan is a general of Wu." King Huainan smiled wryly: "The reason why he invited Huan Yuan to propose marriage is probably because Huan Yuan knew the promise I made with the King of Wu back then. If you don't agree to him, maybe you will cause trouble."

Only then did Liu Qian know that Huan Yuan still had such an identity, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

King Huainan said again: "Tell me, how can you achieve your wish, so as not to fail completely?"

Liu Qian was once again in a daze.How can he have such a strategy.If he knew, he would have done it long ago, so why wait until now.

"There are two strategies between you and Liang Xiao." King Huainan handed the map to Liu Qian. "This is one of the 'avoidance of harm'. I will give you ten days to see if you can think of another way of 'pursuing benefits'."

Holding the map, Liu Qian was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.Dad's words were too shocking.

It only took Liang Xiao a few days to complete several procedures, and rushed back to Chang'an with Huan Yuan.

In Baling Station, Liang Xiao meets Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen unexpectedly.Yan Zhu is travel-laden, but his face is rosy and his spirits are high.Especially when he saw Liang Xiao, he and Zhu Maichen exchanged glances, showed a knowing smile, and proudly greeted him.

Liang Xiao didn't intend to talk to Yan Zhu at first, but when he saw Yan Zhu coming up to welcome him, he didn't mind ignoring him. He nodded his head indifferently, as a greeting, and led Huan Yuan to prepare to enter the station.Although he was doing private affairs, his title and reputation were enough for him to enjoy the official services of the post house.

Seeing that Liang Xiao was indifferent, Yan Zhu couldn't hold back his face.He took two steps forward and stopped Liang Xiao. "Liang Junhou, where are you going on business?"

Liang Xiao frowned. "It's not an official business, it's a private matter."

Yan Zhu was well prepared.It was no secret that the emperor wanted to suppress Liang Xiao. In addition to what Liang Xiao had done in Jiangdu this time, how could the emperor arrange any official duties for him.You can tell by looking at his entourage that this is definitely a private matter.

"Since it's a private matter, I'm afraid it's not suitable to live in the post house?" Yan Zhu pretended to be regretful. "Ordinarily, the lords and princes have different identities, so even if they are not on business, they can live there. But you have so many followers, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, and the posthouse can't accommodate you."

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes to see the expressions of Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen, and couldn't help laughing.It's like birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.When these two people get together, it's not just as simple as fellow countrymen.After Yan Zhu became prosperous, he wanted to take revenge on those who looked down upon him, and served as a membership prefect.Zhu Maichen even went too far, becoming a member of the prefect, taking revenge on his colleagues in the past, and deliberately humiliating his divorced wife, leaving behind the so-called legend of splashing water in front of the horse.

In the eyes of literati, Zhu Maichen splashing water in front of his horse is a legend and a good story.From Liang Xiao's point of view, that's just the abnormal psychology of a non-literate person.Killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads, so what kind of skill is bullying honest people?Although his wife divorced him, she treated him kindly. It would be too base for him to do that.

Now, these two people actually fell on him when they fell into trouble, it was really unbearable for my aunt, but not for my uncle.

Liang Xiao reined in his mount and gave Pang Shuo a wink.Pang Shuo understood and galloped away with the knights.Yan Zhu saw it, raised his eyebrows slightly, but remained indifferent.He knows what Pang Shuo is going to do, but what's the use of it, do you think first come first served?How did you snatch it away, how will you let it out later.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "I went to Huainan to seek marriage."

This sentence is a bit thoughtless, and it has nothing to do with Yan Zhu's words.However, when Yan Zhu heard this, he felt his face was hot, as if he had been slapped by Liang Xiao.

Others don't know, but Liang Xiao knows it all. Yan Zhu had a lot of love for Liu Ling back then, and he showed off his literary talent in front of Liu Ling several times. It's a pity that Liu Ling never looked at him directly, but put all his heart into it. It fell on Liang Xiao, who was still an ordinary official at the time.

What could Liang Xiao mean by saying this at this moment?Naturally, Yan Zhu was ashamed of his frivolity back then.

"Even if you go to Huainan to seek marriage, it's a private matter..."

Liang Xiao talked to himself again, and the contempt on his face became more straightforward. "I am in the story, only the princes can honor the princess and the lord."

Yan Zhu's face was flushed, this was his weakness, even if he was favored by the emperor, he had no military merits, could not be named a marquis, and had no possibility of becoming a princess or a lord.As soon as this matter was mentioned, he became shorter in front of Liang Xiao.Furious, he unconsciously raised his voice. "Master Shang is also a private matter."

Liang Xiao ignored him, and said to himself: "Actually, it's the same even if I don't become a marquis. What the Lord hates the most is those sour dings who think they are right after reading a few sentences. They can't even cultivate themselves and manage their family. What are you talking about governing the country and the world? As for those villains who are not capable of doing meritorious service in the battlefield, but only play tricks behind their backs, she is even more dismissive."

"Pfft!" Yan Zhu's voice sweetened, and his eyes turned black.

Zhu Maichen was taken aback for a moment, his slightly dark face flushed instantly, even a little purple.Is this Liang Xiao crazy? You and Yan Zhu scolded each other, why did you scold me too?It just doesn't make sense.
