Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 496 Digging a Pit
Liang Xiao came to the residence of the Lang officials and chatted with these former colleagues.

Liang Xiao has not been Weiyang Lang for a long time, but he has never left Weiyang Palace, he kept in touch with each other without looking up.Even people who have never worked with him have a chance.

Liang Xiao came from a humble background. He knew that these officials were better than ordinary guards. However, they lived in a different environment. They saw the most powerful people in the world every day, so they felt somewhat resentful.Since Han Yan grew up wealthy, she probably wouldn't have any good feelings towards these ordinary officials, but Liang Xiao knew that besides Han Yan herself, these people might be the most direct source of information for the emperor.

There may even be eyeliner arranged by the emperor, or someone else's.

When Liang Xiao got into the tent, the half-drunk officials were chatting about the conflict between Liang Xiao and Han Yan.

As Weiyang Lang, of course they sympathized with Liang Xiao more.But they also know that they can't talk about these things.Although Liang Xiao was wronged, Han Yan was behind the emperor, and no one could afford to offend her.Even if they had any complaints, they could only support Liang Xiao spiritually, and it was impossible for them to take any action.

"Everyone, how is the Yue girl?" Liang Xiao squeezed his eyes. "Is it tasty enough?"

Seeing Liang Xiao entering the account, the Lang officials hurriedly stood up, ready to salute Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao held down one of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, there are no outsiders here, they are all brothers of our own family, so there is no need to be polite. If you are too polite, I will feel uncomfortable."

"This is the etiquette of the imperial court, so it can't be messed up." A middle-aged Lang official said.

"Etiquette can't be messed up, but now it's not in Chang'an, it's in Yuzhang, it's in Yueren's village." Liang Xiao waved his hands disapprovingly. "Everyone knows how I came to Yuzhang. Apart from the title of Marquis of Champion, I, like all of you, are His Majesty's guards. Come and sit together."

With a few words, Liang Xiao pulled into the psychological distance of the Lang officials, and quietly expressed his grievances.The Lang officials were not polite, and sat down around Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao brought the hangover tea and each poured a cup. "Here, Yueren's wild tea is said to be able to sober up."

The Langguans tasted it, and it felt good. Can you hangover and put it aside, it is cool and refreshing, and it makes them feel very comfortable after eating just now.

"What's the latest news from Chang'an City? Let's hear it."

The Lang officials talked in a hurry.Some said that with the youths from Chen Dou's family leaving Beijing to travel, the city of Chang'an was not as lively as before; Several newcomers, more lively than before.

Finally, someone talked about Wei Qing's great victory.

Wei Qing defeated the main force of the Xiongnu in the Yinshan Mountains. Only a few people knew what the emperor thought. For these officials, they only knew that this was a happy event.Wei Qing, who was born as a slave, and Zhang Cigong, who was born as a bandit, were both able to become marquises based on their military merits. Why couldn't they?
They don't have sisters like Wei Zifu, but they can have brothers like Wei Qing. As long as they have a chance, they can still make meritorious deeds.

A Lang official squeezed beside Liang Xiao. "Bo Ming, you have fought in wars and understand government affairs. Tell me, who will be the next person who can make military exploits?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him, and chuckled lightly: "Why, is it itchy?"

"Of course, who doesn't want to make meritorious service and become a marquis. What's the point of being a Lang Guan? I don't know when it will be released. Maybe I will still be a Lang Guan when my hair turns gray."

"I'm not sure about this. For now, Wei Qing should still be the most promising."

"Wei Qing..." Lang Guan showed a strange look and lowered his voice. "Bo Ming, you are not in Chang'an this time, so you may not know. There is news in the palace that Wei Zifu gave birth to two daughters one after another, and the emperor is very upset. Now that the two Mrs. Chen are pregnant, if you can give birth to a prince , whether Wei Zifu can still be favored, I really don't know for sure. Besides, she is a bit old."

How could Liang Xiao not know these things.However, he disagreed with Lang Guan, at least on the surface.

"You are all thinking wrong. Your Majesty's use of Wei Qing has nothing to do with Wei Zifu." Liang Xiao said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty's use of Wei Qing is because of Wei Qing's ability. I can say this, within ten years , there will never be a general who can fight better than Wei Qing."

"Really?" The officials were very curious.This is related to their future.If what Liang Xiao said made sense, they should also consider whether they should find an opportunity to get close to the people around Wei Qing, and hoped that Wei Qing could take them with him when he went out next time.

"Can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

"After Wei Qing, who has a chance to make a comeback?"

"My big man has always had no shortage of generals who can fight, but Wei Qing's talent is far beyond ordinary people. It is difficult for anyone to compare with him in the short term. If I have to say it, I am optimistic about Huo Qubing. He is eight years old this year. Ten years later, he should Ready to fight."

"Huo Qubing?" The officials looked at each other, not convinced. "He's still a big kid."

"Three years old and old, don't you understand?" Liang Xiao laughed. "You want me to say it, I have already said it, believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Huo Qubing is too young, tell me another one."

"One more time?"

"Yes, let me say one more." The officials booed.

Liang Xiao pondered for a while. "There is another person who may have a chance, but I don't know if he can seize this opportunity."

"Who?" The officials became excited.

"Marquis of Pingyang."

"Cao Shi?" The Lang officials looked at each other and felt that it was even more unreliable.After Cao Shi is a hero, the possibility of going into battle is very small.

According to the ancient theory, princes and kings are all left over from feudalism. One of the prerequisites for them to accept fiefdoms is that when a war breaks out, they must fight for the emperor.But the situation is different now. Not only is the possibility of the feudal lord going to battle very small, but also the heroes will have little chance afterward.Firstly, these people are pampered and do not want to endure hardships, and secondly, the imperial court is somewhat jealous of them and does not want them to get involved in military power.

Facing the questioning eyes of the officials, Liang Xiao smiled without saying a word.The Marquis of Pingyang he mentioned was not only referring to Cao Shi, but also another "Marquis of Pingyang", but this "Marquis of Pingyang" was not known to these Weiyang Langs.

Of course, when the Chen and Dou families are reviving strongly, it is uncertain whether the emperor will use Cao Shi to balance them.It has always been the favorite thing for those in power to let several forces balance and make adjustments from them.He didn't want the officials to understand what he said, as long as they passed his words to the ears of the emperor.

After talking for half the night, Liang Xiao woke up early the next day to practice Daoyin and archery, just like usual.

The Lang officials got up in twos and threes, seeing Liang Xiao practicing arrows, and the Liang family practicing martial arts and formations every stitch, even the two maids did not forget to practice martial arts, they were a little ashamed.They also gathered together to find places to practice.

Guan Fu and Han Shuo also appeared soon. They led their subordinates to practice and competed with the officials. The scene was lively and friendly.

Han Yan got up very late. He didn't get up until the sun was three poles.

The Lang officials secretly curled their lips.Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing goods.Compared with Liang Xiao, Han Yan is nothing worth mentioning.Are the five most beautiful Yue girls so easy to deal with?Eat more and take more, why not **** it.

But looking at it like this, although he is not dead, it is almost the same.

Seeing that Han Yan came out alive, Liang Xiao was also a little surprised.However, he did not show the slightest frustration, and rushed to Han Yan immediately, and asked with concern: "Wang Sun, are you still used to living here?"

"Ah?" Han Yan covered her mouth and kept yawning, her eyes were almost sunken, the circles under her eyes were as black as a panda, and she couldn't even open her eyes.He fell on the chair, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.Hearing Liang Xiao's question, he sucked his nose a few times, and then forced a smile: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Then look, should we leave today, or rest for two days?"

"Departure?" Han Yan was taken aback. "where to?"

"Didn't you come here just to go into the mountains and see the wood for shipbuilding?"

Han Yan rolled her eyes, and then remembered the business.He looked around and saw that Guan Fu was looking at the scenery with a disdainful face, and his younger brother Han Shuo also lowered his head, inexplicably embarrassed, so he nodded insincerely.But the sore waist and weak legs reminded him that it was extremely unwise to leave now.

"Yes, yes, but... don't rush for these two days, just rest for two days before leaving."

"That's fine." Liang Xiao didn't insist, and obeyed.He went out and whispered to Guan Fu, "It seems that he is not satisfied yet."

Guan Fu raised his eyebrows. "It's unreasonable, let me argue with him."

"No." Liang Xiao smacked his lips in embarrassment, hesitating for a long time. "I'm wondering if he...forget it, wait for two days."

Guan Fu was scratched by Liang Xiao's half-spoken words, and asked repeatedly, but Liang Xiao just didn't say anything.

Liang Xiao discussed with Kuang En that he would stay in Kuang's Village for a few more days.As long as Liang Xiao gave money, Kuang En naturally had no objection. He entertained warmly, sent people to hunt and pick in the mountains, entertained with good wine and food every day, and waited by beautiful women singing and dancing.

In just three days, Han Yan had lost a lot of weight, and the grievances of the officials had accumulated to the verge of explosion. Guan Fu was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves several times. He wanted to argue with Han Yan, but was stopped by Liang Xiao.

When Guan Fu was about to run away again, Liang Xiao finally spoke. "Guan Jun, I was wrong. I'm afraid Han Yan doesn't want beautiful women, or more than just beautiful women."

Guan Fu said angrily, "Isn't she a beauty, is she still a boy?"

"Guan Jun is really telling the truth." Liang Xiao let out a long sigh, "I'm so stupid, I didn't think of it until now, and I wasted a few days in vain."

Guan Fu was startled, his eyes suddenly widened.However, he didn't say anything.He knows who Han Yan is.The question Liang Xiao said seemed outrageous, but to Han Yan, it was perfectly normal.

"Then... what should I do?"

"What else can I do?" Liang Xiao spread his hands. "Man is a knife, I am a fish, what else can I do besides being wronged? However, this matter must not be known to the Yue people, so as not to damage the reputation. Guan Jun, look..."

Guan Fu narrowed his eyes, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smirk, "In that case, I'll find a few young men and let him get his wish."
