Chapter 499
Even so, Liang Xiao readily agreed to Yan An.

The relationship between him and the emperor has not yet been broken, and even Yan An feels that the emperor has a lot of trust in him, and others can't see the clues.That being the case, of course he had to cover it up, after all, this tiger skin can play a lot of roles.

"Judging from Jun Yan's tone, he must have already made up his mind about how to march."

Yan An humbly smiled twice, and glanced at Tutu. "I have some ideas, but they are still immature. I need to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

Liang Xiao pointed at the map with his fingers, and reminded: "What Yan Jun said is true, using soldiers is like shooting arrows, you need to think twice. Once the arrow is off the string, it will be too late to regret it. It will be humiliating if it is light, and humiliating if it is serious. How can we be careless about the country. Although Zhao Hu has intentions, but Lu Jia and other South Vietnamese natives may not know the strength and vastness of our big man, they may think that Lingnan is in the world. Let them give up their independence and bow their heads and bow their heads. easy."

Yan An laughed and echoed repeatedly.The behavior of the South Vietnamese scholar-officials was just as Liang Xiao said, arrogant and ignorant, like a frog in a well.

The two talked enthusiastically, and Liang Xiao also took out the fruits of his labor during this period: a plant illustrated book with rich pictures and texts.

Yan An flipped through the illustration book, not very interested.Although the pictures drawn by the painter brought from Huainan are exquisite, the accompanying words are too rough—at least in Yan An’s opinion, it’s almost vernacular. What are the characteristics, and so on.

"Your Majesty, is this planning to study natural history?"

Seeing that Yan An wasn't interested, Liang Xiao didn't force himself, and put away the illustrated book.For him, this is a real treasure.If you really want to go south and fight in the jungle, these materials are hard-to-find survival manuals.The jungle is dangerous, but if you understand the jungle, you will also find endless resources, just like a fish in water.

The Yue people who were the guides were like this. Their closeness to the jungle made Liang Xiao very envious.

"Yan Jun and I go back to Mount Lushan together, and I'll show you something more interesting."

"Okay." Yan An agreed with his heart in his arms.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the Son of Heaven slapped the table with his palm, and the pen and ink on the bamboo slips on the case jumped a few times. A few drops of ink stained the bamboo slips, which were wobbly and lovely.

But the emperor was in a very bad mood.

Han Yan died.

How could he die?In Liang Xiao's memorial, he gave a reason, saying that the water and soil were not acclimatized, and he was caught in miasma again.This principle seems to be no problem, but the emperor still saw the flaw.

With so many people together, why did Han Yan die, but the others were fine?
The emperor immediately thought of Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao is not a gentleman, he will avenge any revenge.Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, offended him, and now his reputation is ruined, and his death is imminent.Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen offended him, and now the grave is full of grass.Han Yan and Liang Xiao had always been at odds, and this trip to Yuzhang was even more purposeful. If Liang Xiao wanted to attack him, he would have a good reason.

The Son of Heaven called in Lang Guan who had delivered the letter, and asked in a deep voice, "How did Han Yan die?"

Lang Guan was mentally prepared, and responded in a unified way as Liang Xiao said.The Son of Heaven didn't speak, but listened quietly, until Lang Guan finished speaking, he sneered: "Is this a story made up by Liang Xiao?"

The emperor's voice was not loud, but it was like a bolt from the blue to Lang Guan's ears.He was taken aback and didn't know how to answer the emperor.Seeing his expression, the emperor knew that he had guessed right, and became even more furious.He stood up, with his hands behind his back, walked in front of Lang Guan, and looked down at Lang Guan.

"I'll give you another chance. If you still don't tell the truth, go to the prison and tell the truth. You can afford the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Lang Guan's face was ashen.He didn't know where he made a mistake, but the emperor saw the flaw.After entering the big prison, can he still come out alive?Not only himself, but even his family will be implicated.

"His Majesty……"

"Say!" The emperor yelled lightly, but there was an indescribable coercion.

Lang Guan was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly.Tell the truth of the matter one by one.

The emperor was stunned.He knows the truth, but finds that the truth is not what he imagined.Liang Xiao had lied, but the lie was not malicious.On the contrary, Liang Xiao was protecting his face.

The emperor was very disappointed and angry, but it was not aimed at Liang Xiao, but at Han Yan.

Han Yan is so lustful, five beautiful Yue girls are not enough to serve, and two more boys are needed?

The emperor's face was hot, as if someone had slapped him hard.He looked at Lang Guan in front of him, and wished that someone would immediately send this Lang Guan to prison to be executed, so as to block the news.But he also understands that there are too many people who know about this matter, and he can't kill all these men.Even if these Lang officials were killed, wouldn't Liang Xiao, Guan Fu, and Han talk about it?

"Do you know what to do?" The emperor stared into Lang Guan's eyes and said word by word.

"Chen..." Lang Guan trembled, his teeth chattering.

The emperor turned back and picked up Liang Xiao's memorial from the case, and waved it in front of Lang Guan.Lang Guan was like waking up from a dream, kowtowing again and again.

"Go ahead and keep your mouth shut!"

"Wei!" Lang Guan said as if he was receiving an amnesty.It wasn't until he got out of the main hall and was blown by the wind that he realized that his head was covered with sweat, and his shirt was already wet with sweat.

The emperor stood in the hall, his face turned red and white for a while.His teeth were clenched tightly, making a rattling sound, as if he was biting something.The waiter on the side was silent, not even daring to vent his breath, for fear of offending the emperor and suffering an innocent disaster.

That night, the lights of Chengming Hall were on all night, and the figure of the Son of Heaven was like a ghost, accompanied by vague curses, erratic.

Liang Xiao accompanied Yan An back to the White Deer Abode.

Seeing the bright glazed windows, Yan An was taken aback. "Liang Junhou, isn't this...too extravagant?"

Liang Xiao shrugged indifferently. "If you only stay for a few months, it is indeed a bit extravagant. But if you want to create a century-old boutique, it is not a luxury. First, although the glass is expensive, it is actually not as expensive as you think; second, there is After the glazed window, there is no need to light lamps during the day, which saves the cost of lamp oil, which seems to be a small amount, but it can be accumulated, which is not a small sum.”

Liang Xiao said, and led Yan An into the Abode.Headed by Deng Guobin, the Huainan diners and craftsmen who were discussing issues around the ship model saw Liang Xiao coming in, put down their work at once, surrounded them, and saluted one after another.

Liang Xiao pointed to Deng Guobin and said: "These people are either unique in their knowledge or have many years of experience in shipbuilding. They are the key to whether they can complete the renovation of buildings and ships according to the expected time. It can be said that without me , it doesn’t matter, without them, this boat will be a moon in the water after all, a flower in the mirror, it is impossible to sail far.”

Yan An was very polite on the surface, but he was somewhat disapproving in his heart.It was nothing more than Huainan diners, these craftsmen were just lowly people, how could they deserve such praise from Liang Xiao.This was just Liang Xiao's strategy to win people's hearts.However, it is indeed a pleasure to be able to work in such a bright room.

The mood of Deng Guobin and others is quite different from that of Yan An.Although the imperial edict has not yet been issued, whether they can enjoy the imperial salary is still unknown, but Liang Xiao's respect and kindness to them is real.Now that Liang Xiao praised them so much in front of the envoy of the Son of Heaven, they were naturally grateful and warm in their hearts.

"What is this?" Yan An walked to the case, pointed at the ship model that was about to be completed, and was full of praise. "This is the masterpiece of a craftsman, it is really exquisite."

"This is the painstaking effort of all of them." Liang Xiao introduced: "This is a ship model made strictly according to the proportion. Experiment one by one. If there is any problem, it is best to modify it in time."

Yan An was surprised.He thought it was just a model for people to see the shape, but he didn't expect to complete so many experimental tasks.

Liang Xiao didn't say much, and led Yan An to the test pool that had already begun to take shape, pointing to the waterway and said: "After the ship model is completed, it will be placed in this water tank, and the impact force it will withstand under different flow velocities will be calculated. , to simulate the power required for sailing..."

Liang Xiao talked one by one like a treasure, although Yan An's knowledge of specific techniques was limited, Liang Xiao's explanations were simple and profound, and he could understand them clearly, and he was even more impressed by the subtleties.The rumors are true, Liang Xiao's other knowledge is average, and his thinking on these issues is far beyond that of ordinary people.It was so appropriate for the emperor to ask him to supervise the construction of buildings and ships, and there was no better candidate than him.

"Liang Junhou, you and your majesty are really a model of how a monarch and his ministers know each other. Your majesty knows people well, which is beyond my reach."

Liang Xiao suddenly felt a little regretful, he was really self-inflicted, if this word reaches the ears of the emperor, will I still be able to lead the army to fight in the future?This is directly transferred from the army.While annoyed, Liang Xiao thought about it again, and felt that it might be a good thing.Isn't this exactly what I want to do, there is no need to go into battle, there is no risk, and I can realize my plan.

Liang Xiao smiled all over his face and echoed a few words. "Your Majesty is wise, I can't figure it out. I'm just doing my best."

After visiting the abode, Liang Xiao asked someone to bring another volume of Lushan Map.This is what he asked Huainan painters to paint carefully, including not only the few courtyards he has built, but also some courtyards that are under planning. It can be said that this is his blueprint for the design of Lushan Manor.

"This is simply a fairyland on earth." Yan An was envious. "Junhou really has a unique vision. He can move like a thunder in battle, and he can enjoy the flowers and the moon when he is idle."

"This is His Majesty's gift." Liang Xiao laughed. "This is just the scenery in the picture. Let me take you to visit Lushan Mountain, so that you will know what a real fairyland is. Yan Jun, I'm afraid you won't leave after seeing it."
