Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 616
Dongfang Shuo got out of the car and walked up the long mountain road, sighing as he walked. "I have to ask Deng Guobin to come here, install a pulley, and pull my car directly to the top of the mountain. What if it snows and slips step by step, and I fall down?"

Holding his sword, Liang Ming followed Dongfang Shuo, looking around vigilantly.Dongfang Shuo didn't hear his response, so he glanced back at him and said with a smile, "Why, what did you find?"

"The Wusun people's vigilance has been strengthened."

Dongfang Shuo chuckled, full of contempt. "Lie Jiaomi was scared out of his wits, but he refused to admit defeat. Strengthening his vigilance will only expose his weakness. It doesn't matter if he is riding a hundred thousand horses. A coward is a coward. When encountering a strong opponent, he can only hide in his own shell. Don't dare to attack."

Liang Ming also smiled. "That's right, when Champion Hou fought against Nanshan, all countries in the Western Regions might be scared out of their wits. It's not surprising that Lie Jiaomi is a little nervous. Sir, when will Champion Hou come to Tianshan?"

"It will come, but we have to wait for the time being." Dongfang Shuo said with a smile, "So I have to spend some time talking with Lie Jiaomi."

The two talked and laughed, walking along the winding mountain road, the Wusun soldiers they met along the way all saluted them respectfully, with unconcealable awe in their eyes.The two strolled in the courtyard, as if they were going home.The Wusun officials who came to greet him followed behind with their hands clasped, as if they were their followers.

In front of the city, Lie Jiaomi took a few followers to stand by the roadside, and as soon as he saw Dongfang Shuo, he walked in small steps and came to Dongfang Shuo. "Mr. Dongfang, you have worked hard all the way."

"It's okay, it's okay." Dongfang Shuo rubbed his hands. "It's just a little cold. It looks like it's going to snow, right?"

"It should be soon." Lie Jiaomi showed a relaxed smile. "It's like this in the mountains. The snow falls early. Sometimes it snows in August and September. The mountain will be closed for half a year, and it will disappear in early summer. It's really inconvenient. It's not as good as the Central Plains."

"Sealing the mountain for half a year, even though it's lonely, it's also safe." Dongfang Shuo said with a smile, "Even a god wouldn't march and fight in snowy weather, would he?"

"That is, that is." Lie Jiaomi smiled even more happily.He knew what Dongfang Shuo was doing. Before that, he had already received the news that Sirius died in the first battle, and it was a foregone conclusion that the Nanshan kingdoms would be controlled by Liang Xiao.Whether Liang Xiao would raise his troops to go north, he was not sure, but considering the seasonal factors, it was estimated that the possibility was not high.As Dongfang Shuo said, once the mountain is covered by heavy snow, even a god can't help it.

In this way, he can have more than half a year to think about it slowly.

"Ah, except for that lunatic Liang Xiao, I really haven't seen anyone marching in a snowy day." Dongfang Shuo shook his head, signaling Liang Ming to take off the head of Sirius and hand it to Lie Jiaomi. "Sirius' head, you've seen everything you need to see. Kunmo is the last one, keep it for collection. He took your earth bow, you must hate him."

Lie Jiaomi's cheeks twitched, and his hands trembled accordingly.It's not because Sirius is Wu Dan, but because of Dongfang Shuo's seemingly random but threatening warning.

Liang Xiao is a lunatic, no one knows how to march and fight in heavy snow, but Liang Xiao can.When he was marching in the heavy snow, he caught up with Wu Dan in a daze. In the first battle, Wu Dan was wiped out, and Wu Dan himself was seriously injured.Now, Wu Dan's head is in front of him, and the Han people obviously know who he is, don't you understand the meaning of this?

Will Liang Xiao come to attack Chigu City?
Although it was considered impossible from a rational analysis, Lie Jiaomi still didn't dare to be careless.Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, what if Liang Xiao goes crazy again?At that time, if Chigu City is not prepared at all, maybe it will be successfully attacked by him.

We have to strengthen our vigilance, just in case.Lie Jiaomi secretly made up his mind, but the smile on his face was even brighter.

"Please, sir, please, sir. The banquet is ready, please have a few drinks, sir, to get rid of the cold."

"Okay, okay." Dongfang Shuo rubbed his hands in satisfaction and moved his index finger.

After entering the city and arriving at the palace, Arikan, accompanied by several maids, stood on the steps to greet him.Lie Jiaomi gave her the head of Sirius, and took a special look at her. "Sirius' head, keep it carefully."

Arkan was taken aback, tears welling up in his eyes.Holding the wooden box, she felt sore in her heart, but she didn't dare to cry aloud.Dongfang Shuo saw it and smiled. "What happened to the Yan family? I heard that Sirius was originally from the Huns. Could it be that you know him?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Arukan quickly concealed: "It's just that he stole the ground bow. Although he was killed by the champion, the ground bow can't come back. Sir, can you discuss it with the champion? Give us back the earth bow?"

"Yes." Dongfang Shuo readily agreed. "However, what's the use of keeping the sky and earth bows, can anyone pull them apart?"

Lie Jiaomi and A Ruikan were at a loss for words.

"If someone can pull it away, it may be useful to keep it. All countries in the Western Regions respect warriors. A Sirius who can open the bow of the earth can conquer Nanshan. If some of you can open the bow of the sky, maybe you can also unify the Western Regions. But If there are no such warriors, keeping the heavenly bow and the earthly bow is causing trouble for yourself. Haven’t you heard that everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty.”

Lie Jiaomi looked embarrassed, and exchanged a look with A Ruikan, Wei Wei, but did not answer Dongfang Shuo's words.He just warmly invited Dongfang Shuo to attend.Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo didn't say anything.What he wanted was to beat Lie Jiaomi non-stop, but he didn't expect to make Lie Jiaomi bow his head with a few words.If it was that simple, he would have already dealt with Lie Jiaomi.

The three of them toasted each other, and after a few glasses of wine, the embarrassment just now became invisible.Lie Jiaomi originally wanted to have a good chat with Dongfang Shuo. After Liang Xiao pacified Nanshan, how to deal with him in the future will have to be discussed sooner or later.However, Dongfang Shuo's words made him very confused, and he lost all confidence, and his desire to discuss conditions with Dongfang Shuo weakened.He was depressed and left the meeting again to check his defense.

Arukan was also in no mood, so he reluctantly drank a few glasses of wine with Dongfang Shuo, ordered the maids to greet Dongfang Shuo well, and then wanted to get up and leave.

Dongfang Shuo waved his hand, signaling Arkan to stop.Arkan frowned slightly.She had just received Wu Dan's head, and she really wasn't in the mood to flirt with Dongfang Shuo.Anyway, Dongfang Shuo and Liang Xiao were in the same group. Compared with the others, he was still Liang Xiao's disciple and was closer.

"Sirius is Wu Dan, right?" Dongfang Shuo got straight to the point.

"What did you say?" Arikan's expression changed drastically.

"Okay, stop pretending. I know it, you know it, Liang Xiao knows it, and Lie Jiaomi knows it. Sirius is Wu Dan. He didn't steal the earth bow, but you gave it to him. Sirius can control Nanshan , without the help of you Wusun people."

Arikan stood there, clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, and his nails pierced into his palms, excruciatingly painful.But she didn't dare to be careless. After hiding this secret for so long, she still didn't hide it from the Han people.

"I know Wu Dan is your younger brother. If you don't have the mood to talk to me now, I can accept it. You can cry for a while and calm down before talking. Anyway, I want to stay here for two days."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Arkan's voice trembled, and there was a bit of ferocity in his eyes.

"Killing Wudan is a last resort. If you don't kill him, Nanshan will not be peaceful. Liang Junhou has buried his body properly and erected a monument for him. The first level is passed on to all countries, and the last stop is Wusun. The head is left to you. You bury him well. Although he lost in the end, his perseverance and courage are worthy of admiration."

Dongfang Shuo raised his wine glass, as if respecting Arukan and Wu Dan. "To the warriors."

A Ruikan burst into tears after holding back for a long time.She sat down again, holding Wu Dan's head, weeping uncontrollably.

Dongfang Shuo watched silently without saying a word.It wasn't until Arikan's crying stopped that he said, "Do you hate Liang Xiao?"

Arkan shook his head. "I don't hate him. Although my father and two younger brothers died at his hands, and the Hunxie Department was also destroyed by him, I don't hate him. He won on the battlefield, and he won with integrity. He is a true warrior. My father and younger brother can die at his hands without being ridiculed."

She raised her head, tears streaming down her face, but she was extremely determined. "I only regret that I don't know martial arts. Otherwise, I would personally challenge him and avenge my father and younger brother."

"I think he will gladly accept it." Dongfang Shuo raised his glass again. "To the warriors."

"To the warrior." Arikan also raised his glass and drank it down.

"We are not afraid of challenges, but we are not warlike. We prefer to make friends." Dongfang Shuo stood up, walked behind Arkan, and lightly pressed his hands on Arkan's shoulders. "We all worship the warrior, but for different reasons. Your warriors prey on the weak, our warriors protect the weak."

Arkan lowered his head. "Do you want me to persuade Lie Jiaomi to pay tribute to the big man?"

"No, I don't care about Lie Jiaomi's life or death. He is Kunmo of Wusun, and he has the right to make his own choices. What I care about is you. You lost your father, two younger brothers, and your mother clan Tribe, I don’t want you to lose your husband, and even your children. Few eggs can survive a nest.”

Arkan remained silent.Things like this happen every day on the grasslands.When a tribe is defeated, men, women and children will become slaves, and it is normal to be killed. The current situation of the Hunxie tribe is an example.If Wusun dies, she, the Yan family, will not end well, and she will not be any different from ordinary female slaves.

"That's all I'll say." Dongfang Shuo patted Arkan's shoulder. "Weigh it carefully for yourself. If you think that Lie Jiaomi is more powerful than your father and king, then you support him and fight with all your strength. If you think he doesn't have this ability, think about yourself too." I will stay here for two days and try my best to convince Lie Jiaomi. After two days, I will leave."

Arkan nodded. "Okay, I will seriously consider your suggestion."

Night, bedroom.

Dozens of huge tallow candles illuminated every detail in the palace, and the strong smell made Arkan frown, but Liejiaomi still refused to remove one.He stood in front of the huge leather map and stood motionless for a long time.

Arkan sat on a thick leather mattress with his clothes half covered.A naked female slave knelt beside her, squeezing her shoulders and beating her back.She looked at Lie Jiaomi with lost eyes and a bit of contempt.

Ever since Dongfang Shuo arrived, Lie Jiaomi has been in a state of restlessness, and even gave up halfway in bed affairs. When he got up and looked at the defense map of Chigu City, it seemed that the Han army might appear outside Chigu City at any time.

He has been frightened by the Han army.Arkan felt sad.Not only can he not compare with his father, nor his younger brother Wu Dan, but even his younger brother Hulugu is three points better than him.After all, Aunt Hulu had the courage to confront Liang Xiao, but when Lie Jiaomi heard Liang Xiao's name, he was thrown into chaos.

Arukan remembered that Lie Jiaomi hadn't had a direct confrontation with the Han army so far.

Can such a person defeat Liang Xiao?Arkan thought it was a joke.

At some point, Lie Jiaomi turned around and sat cross-legged in front of Arkan.He lowered his head, staring into Arican's eyes. "Do you think I'm cowardly and unworthy to be the king of Wusun?"

Arkan raised his eyelids, meeting Lie Jiaomi's gaze. "What do you think?"

Lie Jiaomi laughed silently, asked the female slave to bring two glasses of wine, and handed one to Arkan. "I know, you must think that I am not as good as your father and Wu Dan, but don't forget, your father is dead, and Wu Dan is also dead, but I am still alive."

"That's just because Liang Xiao hasn't come yet, when he comes, you will die as well."

"Everyone will die, but at least I won't die like your father and younger brother." Lie Jiaomi raised his hand, signaling Arkan to be calm. "Don't rush to refute. I say this not because I look down on your father and Wu Dan, but because I know the cunning of the Han people better than they do. After thinking for a long time, I suddenly figured out something."

Arkan snorted, dismissively.

"People say that your father led four thousand fine cavalry to chase and kill Liang Xiao, but in the end more than a dozen Liang Xiao beheaded him. But how many people went to see the battlefield? Have you been there? No, I will go. Pass."

"you've been to?"

"Yes, I have been." Lie Jiaomi laughed silently. "Although your father has [-] cavalry, when he fought the final battle, there were only a few dozen people around him, not much more than Liang Xiao, and he was lured up the mountain by Liang Xiao. Fighting Han people up the mountain, if your father hadn't How could he do such a thing when he was stunned by anger? Even so, he almost killed Liang Xiao."

Arkan held the wine glass, but didn't take a sip.It was the first time she heard Lie Jiaomi talk about these things.

"Let's talk about Wu Dan." Lie Jiaomi took a big gulp of wine. "Why didn't he wait for Liang Xiao in Ruoqiang, but rushed thousands of miles to fight Liang Xiao? The two armies fought, but they wanted to show the courage of a man and fight Liang Xiao in front of the battle. Who did he think he was? Why bring so many people and wait so long, he should have gone to duel with Liang Xiao when Liang Xiao first arrived."

"Do you know, they all deserved to die, because they gave up their advantages and fell into Liang Xiao's trap." Lie Jiaomi slapped his thigh and laughed out loud. "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting here, waiting for Liang Xiao to attack the city. Aliusu has attacked Chigu City, and now I want to see how Liang Xiao can take down my Chigu City. He wants to lure me out? Hehe, don't even think about it. Dongfang Shuo wants to lie to me, there is no way."
