Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 550
Liang Xiao and Liu Ling discussed it for half a night. Early the next morning, he got up for morning exercises, while Liu Ling sat by the window and wrote a memorial in Liang Xiao's tone. Official recuperation.On the grounds of the flood in Shandong, he requested that the fiefdom be transferred to Lushan Mountain in Yuzhang, and be combined with Jianshan's manor on Lushan Mountain.

After breakfast, Liang Xiao read it again and arranged for someone to send it to Ganquan Palace without changing a single word.He can read ancient prose, but he can't write ancient prose. In this respect, Liu Ling is infinitely better than him.Although the emperor can tell at a glance that this is Liu Ling's handwriting, but they are a husband and wife, and it doesn't matter who writes it, but it can show that they agree.

After tidying up, Liang Xiao ordered his horses to be ready to go out to meet Dong Zhongshu.Liu Ling said that Dong Zhongshu was a doctor in Beijing, with a job but no power.The emperor didn't like him very much, and he didn't take him with him when he went to Ganquan Palace this time, so he just stayed in Chang'an for leisure.A scholar with a limited salary, he had no choice but to accept apprentices to give lectures, subsidize his family, and occasionally go to a certain salon to have meat and sacrifices to the gods of the five internal organs, and his life was neither salty nor dull.

Although Liang Xiao sneered at Dong Zhongshu's theory, he didn't have much ill feeling towards Dong Zhongshu. Knowing that he was so depressed, he asked him to bring some gifts.When he came back from South Vietnam this time, he brought a lot of good things.Not to mention that Zhao Yingqi lost a piece of sea pearl to him, Lu Xiang also gave him a batch of good things like ivory and rhinoceros horns. In terms of economic benefits alone, he made a fortune.

After preparing the gifts, Liang Xiao went out and was about to get on his horse when a person suddenly jumped out and grabbed Liang Xiao's arm, so fast that even Tu Niuer had no time to react.Liang Xiao didn't have time to think too much, he instinctively flipped his arm, pushed the man away, and punched out with his right fist.

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the man fell out and sat down on the ground.

Tu Niu'er was furious, rushed over, drew his knife and was about to chop.With the knife half drawn, he recognized the person. "Huo Qubing?"

Huo Qubing bared his teeth and grinned, the fall was not light. "Brother, it's me."

Liang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stepped forward to stop Tu Niu'er, stretched out his hand to pull Huo Qubing up. "What are you doing, want to be an assassin?"

"What kind of assassin are you?" Huo Qubing held his buttocks and said with a wry smile, "Master, are you at home?"

"Master hasn't come back, he's still in Yuzhang." Liang Xiao said halfway, suddenly felt wrong. "Hey, you, master, master, shouted so happily, could it be that you have practiced it well?"

"Of course." Huo Qubing raised his face and said triumphantly, "It only took me fifty days to realize the bow intent, and then it took another fifty days to consolidate, and now I have no bow in my hand, but a bow in my heart. Walking Sit or lie down, never leave your bow."

Liang Xiao was dubious.Seeing this, Huo Qubing didn't talk nonsense, opened his arms, held the bow that didn't exist, and made a gesture of opening the bow.When Liang Xiao saw it, his eyes lit up.That's right, Huo Qubing not only got rid of the common disease of shrugging his shoulders, but also had smooth energy, and indeed completed the foundation building.

Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly.This kid really has extraordinary understanding, just a few words from Huan Yuan, he really practiced it himself.

"How about it, right?"

"That's right." Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly. "I think you are a little faster than I was at the beginning. Master will be very happy when he sees it."

"Really?" Huo Qubing was surprised and delighted.Although he was confident, even somewhat conceited, he was not so conceited that he felt that he could surpass Liang Xiao.Now that Liang Xiao said this in front of so many people, it was undoubtedly a great affirmation of him, so he couldn't believe his ears.

"Why am I lying to you?" Liang Xiao laughed. "Okay, I'll make my own decision and accept you on behalf of the master. The master is not in Chang'an, you can follow me first. From today onwards, I will teach you archery. After seeing the master, he will teach you in person."

"Okay, okay." Huo Qubing couldn't help but clapped his hands with joy, showing a boyish demeanor.Liang Xiao was also very happy to see him, turned around and took him in, went straight to the courtyard, took out the bamboo bow that Huan Yuan had given him back then, and handed it to Huo Qubing. "This is the bamboo bow my master gave me back then. From now on, you will practice archery with this bow."

Huo Qubing looked at the bamboo bow, a little surprised. "So soft?"

"That's right. Using a soft bow is the same as practicing with bare hands. It is to avoid using brute force." Liang Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "Boy, you must pay special attention. At the beginning of learning archery, don't be too obsessed with it. The focus of your mind should be on the inside and not on the outside. When you can truly achieve the unity of human bow and unimpeded strength, it will be easier to pursue perfect success."

"Okay, I'll listen to senior brother." Huo Qubing responded, put the bow away, and hung it in the bow bag solemnly.

Liang Xiao asked someone to bring a pony as a gift to Huo Qubing.Huo Qubing was also polite and accepted them one by one.Just when Liang Xiao was about to go out again, he got up and said, "Senior brother, please wait a moment, let me go to pay a visit to Ling Tang and Master Weng. From now on, we are brothers of the same school, so we must not be rude. It was better to get the master's consent back then. Let Lingtang help to negotiate a deal."

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing, but he didn't stop him, and led him to visit his wife, Mrs. Liang, and then Liu Ling.Knowing that Huo Qubing had completed the foundation building and that he and Liang Xiao had become real brothers, Liang Nai was very happy and gave two pieces of brocade as a meeting gift.Liu Ling was not stingy either, he sent an ivory arrow ring, and specifically told Huo Qubing that this arrow ring was cut from the same ivory as the arrow ring used by Liang Xiao himself.

Huo Qubing was overjoyed, and immediately put the ivory arrow on the thumb of his right hand.

After a busy day, Liang Xiao took Huo Qubing out of the house and went straight to Dong Zhongshu's house.Liang Xiao lived in Jiadi, north of Weiyang Palace, in the middle of the west of the city, while Dong Zhongshu's family lived in the northeast of Chang'an City.The terrain there is relatively low, and it is too far away from Weiyang Palace. It is the first choice for those who have limited financial resources but do not want to live outside the city.

Although Liang Xiao and the others rode horses and the roads in Chang'an City were wide, it was inconvenient for people to drive and drive. It was already noon when they found Dong Zhongshu's house.But Dong Zhongshu is not at home, only his old wife is at home.Probably Dong Zhongshu's guests were mostly Confucian scholars. Seeing Liang Xiao and his party with bows and knives on their backs, the old lady couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and she spoke in a dialect that was not clear at first.

Liang Xiao asked a few questions, but he didn't know what to ask, so he had to give up.He ordered people to put down the gift and left.

After walking a long distance, but wasted no time, Liang Xiao was inevitably a little bit disappointed.He didn't go back the same way, and left the city through the Luocheng Gate, planning to circle the city for half a circle, and take a break.Huo Qubing said: "Brother, since you are fine, why don't you go to my house and sit down."

"Your house?" Liang Xiao was surprised. "Is your house nearby?"

"Just to the south." Huo Qubing pointed. "It's not far from Qunihou's Mansion."

Only then did Liang Xiao remember that Huo Qubing's mother, Wei Shao'er, married Chen Zhang.Chen Zhang is the descendant of Chen Ping, but he is not the eldest son. His elder brother Chen He is the fourth generation Qu Ni Hou.In his impression, this place will be built as Mingguang Palace in the future. Unexpectedly, the Qunihou Mansion is also here, and it probably disappeared with the demolition in the end.

"Let's go. After walking for a long time, people are tired and horses are exhausted. Go and ask for some water."

The Chen family is in Qianqiu, although it is adjacent to Qunihou's mansion, the door is not on the side.From the appearance, it is just an ordinary small courtyard, and there is no relationship with the Qunihou Mansion next to it.There is still a big difference between the concubine and concubines.No wonder Chen Zhang married Wei Shaoer.It's one thing to have an affair, it's another to be married.Chen Zhang probably took a fancy to Wei Zifu's favor and wanted to use the Wei family to climb up. Now that Wei Zifu has fallen out of favor, he doesn't know what to think.

Liang Xiao got off his horse in front of the door, and Huo Qubing stepped forward to call the door.The door was half opened, revealing a pale, thin face.His cold eyes swept across Huo Qubing's face, and he saw Liang Xiao and the group again, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"who are you?"

"He is my senior brother, come to sit at home and drink some water."

"Your brother?" The servant sneered, and the awe in his eyes disappeared.He stretched out his hand to push Huo Qubing away, and said with a sneer, "You really think of yourself as the young master of the Chen family, and dare to come to the door with a group of rangers..."

Liang Xiao was stunned when he heard it.He thought that Wei Zifu's fall from favor might be detrimental to Wei Shaoer's mother and son, but he didn't expect that the situation had deteriorated to such a state that even a servant of the Chen family could be rude to Huo Qubing.This snobbish eye turned too fast.Seeing the servant reaching out to push Huo Qubing, he gave Pang Shuo a wink.

Pang Shuo understood, took a step forward, and pushed the half-open door with his palm. "Boom!" With a loud noise, half of the gate flew out, and the pale-faced servant in Tsing Yi also flew out, and was pressed by the gate again, screaming in pain.

In an instant, the Chen family became lively, and a dozen health slaves rushed out with weapons and surrounded Liang Xiao and others.Although Liang Xiao only brought a few people with him, how could he take these scumbags seriously.He put one hand behind his back, pressed the other on Huo Qubing's shoulder, and said with a light smile, "Are you afraid?"

Huo Qubing rolled his eyes. "There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a fight."

"Okay, promising." Liang Xiao praised and waved his hands. "Call me!"

"Here!" Pang Shuo and others responded, and leaped forward, punching and kicking without even using weapons, knocking down a dozen health slaves to the ground in a short while, crying for their father and mother.

Just as the fight was going on, Chen Zhang walked out quickly, followed by two young knight-errants with swords behind him.Seeing the scene in the court, Chen Zhang was furious: "I don't know who is under your foot, and when did Chen Zhang offend you, so that you broke my door and hurt my servant."

Liang Xiao casually cupped his hands. "Guangling Liang Xiao, I met Mr. Chen."

"Liang Xiao?" Chen Zhang was stunned for a moment, carefully sizing up Liang Xiao for a long while before he recognized him.He knew Liang Xiao originally, but he didn't have any contact with him, just a little impression.Liang Xiao went to South Vietnam for half a year, and was tanned by the southern sun. He was completely different from when he was in Chang'an, and he didn't recognize him for a while.Knowing that the champion Hou Liangxiao came to the door, Chen Zhang was short of breath for three points.

"Champion Hou, you are..."

"Invited by my junior brother Huo Qubing, I wanted to come to your house to beg for a drink, but I didn't expect that the servants in your house had eyes above the top, refused to let me in, and even uttered evil words. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I moved hands." Liang Xiao grinned without any sincerity. "Chen Jun, I am a warrior, and I have a quick temper. Please forgive me for being rude."

Chen Zhang smiled wryly.He knew without thinking that the servant must have been rude to Huo Qubing, which annoyed Liang Xiao.However, although he has an official position, he does not have a title, and he dare not provoke Liang Xiao at all, so he can only walk down the steps. "Junhou was joking, I was negligent in discipline and rude first. Junhou, when did Qu Bing become your junior?"

"Just this morning." Liang Xiao patted Huo Qubing's head.

General Chen was skeptical, but he didn't want to ask more questions, so he had to drink away the servants, invite Liang Xiao to the hall, and arrange drinks.Huo Qubing went inside to report to his mother, Wei Shaoer.After a while, Wei Shao'er came out. Although he was wearing brocade clothes, there were obvious creases on the brocade clothes, obviously he had just put them on.Wei Shao'er walked up to Liang Xiao, bowed her body to salute, and the moment she lowered her head, there was a trace of gratitude in the corners of her slightly upturned eyes.

Wei Shaoer glanced at Chen Zhang.Chen Zhang smiled and said: "Ma'am, Qubing's elder brother came to the door for the first time, and the servants at home were rude again. We can entertain you kindly and make amends. Can you arrange it?"

Wei Shaoer nodded and smiled, but a little reluctantly.She bowed to Liang Xiao again, then left the hall to arrange a banquet.Liang Xiao saw it and didn't make a sound.He has already revealed his identity, Chen Zhang naturally knows what to do, there is no need for him to waste his words.

Chen Zhang was very calm, and there was no abnormality on his face. He chatted happily with Liang Xiao - although Liang Xiao was not very enthusiastic, he only answered occasionally.Under Chen Zhang's enthusiasm, the atmosphere slowly became lively, and the embarrassment was no longer there.

"Why did Junhou come here? There is no scenery to see here."

"I was going to visit Mrs. Dong. I didn't expect Mrs. Dong to be away, so I stopped by to see Qu's sick mother and begged for a drink."

"Master Dong." Chen Zhang thought for a while. "He should have gone to Nagato Garden."

"Nagato Garden?"

Chen Zhang nodded, and smiled with indescribable bitterness. "Yes, Mrs. Chen gave birth to a prince, and now the Chen family is in full swing. Although Nagato Garden is remote, it is a good place for literati and inkmen to crave. If the status is not noble enough, and you don't have much knowledge, it's okay to ask for one. Rare."

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat.At this moment, Chen Zhang may have already regretted his heart, and tried his best to build a relationship with the Chen family.But he obviously didn't know that the situation had actually changed as Wei Zifu fell out of favor.Right now, what the Chen family is most worried about is not Wei Zifu, but the new beauty Wang.Based on the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, the Chen family should not reject Chen Zhang at this moment.

However, Chen Zhang's character is not good. Once the situation changes, this kind of person cannot be relied on, and may become a hidden danger instead.The Chen family's mother, son, and brothers are not very smart people, so they should be reminded to be careful with Chen Zhang, at least not to make him their confidant.

"Chen Jun, being knowledgeable does not necessarily mean being knowledgeable." Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "Qu Ni Xianhou (Chen Ping) ruled the world, not by the knowledge of searching for chapters and extracting sentences."

After entering the Chen family, it was only at this moment that Liang Xiao showed a friendly smile for the first time, praising Chen Ping, the ancestor of the Chen family, Chen Zhang was naturally happy.He suddenly remembered that this Liang Xiao in front of him was the son-in-law of King Huainan, and he was not interested in Confucianism when he argued with Mr. Dong Zhongshu.The knowledge passed down by the Chen family is also Taoism, so they still have a common language.

"Junhou, as far as I know, you don't admire Confucianism. When you go to see Master Dong this time, do you have any issues to debate?"
