Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 623
"We Han people don't have such a custom." Facing Tie Huali who hesitated, Liang Xiao refused.No matter whether Mosuyeye is as beautiful as Tie Huali said, he has no interest in taking her into his house.He's not a saint, but he's not so drooling at the sight of a woman.

Of course, even if he is not lustful to this extent, if it is for the convenience of receiving Aliusu's strength, he has no objection to accepting Mosuyeye according to the customs of the Yuezhi people, and helps Aliusu raise his two sons by the way.For him, this is not a big problem, no matter whether Liu Ling or Luo Xuli, they will not overturn the jealousy and insist on arguing with him.

For this world, it is normal for a man to have several concubines, and there is nothing to hide.

His unwillingness to accept Mosuyeye was precisely for the purpose of stabilizing the Western Regions.In his opinion, Batu is the easiest Yuezhi king to control. He appointed Batu as the captain of Yangguan to control the tribes on the eastern front of Nanshan. The progress is very smooth. Batu obeyed him, so why should he make troubles? , causing Batu's uneasiness.

Aliusu is not a docile person, Tie Huali has a rough appearance, but he is actually an old fox with a city mansion, how could he be fooled by Tie Huali.As far as the current situation is concerned, he still needs to marry Mosuyeye to stabilize the situation in Congling?
What a joke.

"General, but now in the Western Regions." Tie Huali was greatly surprised, thinking that Liang Xiao was just being polite, and continued to "persuade".

"The Western Regions are not equal to the Yue clan. As far as I know, there are many tribes that don't have such customs." Liang Xiao laughed softly: "Okay, I understand the captain's worries, it's nothing more than fearing that I will harm the youngest son of Aliusu. You can rest assured that I will treat these two children as my own and raise them up. Not only them, but everyone in the Western Regions, as long as they are willing to submit to me, I am willing to pass on the grace of the emperor to each of them. .”

Tie Huali frowned and said nothing, he couldn't figure out whether what Liang Xiao said was true or not.He thought for a while, tried a few more words, and retreated.

Liang Xiao just nodded symbolically, but didn't get up to see him off.For an opponent like Tie Huali, it is necessary to maintain a limited arrogance.Before Tie Huali left the gate, he ordered someone to pass on other visitors, deliberately expressing a kind of lukewarmness towards Tie Huali.

Tie Huali stood at the gate, looking at the guests who hurried into the main hall, feeling uneasy.He thought for a while, and found Mosuyeye again.

Hearing that Liang Xiao rejected Tie Huali's suggestion, Mosuyeye breathed a sigh of relief, but also worried.According to the analysis of this situation, Tie Huali's worries are likely to become a reality.If Liang Xiao really had a tacit understanding with Batu and wanted to uproot Aliusu's power, then she and her two children would be in danger.

"so what should I do?"

"Perhaps madam should meet Liang Xiao in person." Tie Huali said cautiously: "As the prince's widow, madam should also express her gratitude to Liang Xiao in person. After all, he was the one who avenged the prince."

Mosuyeye understood Tie Huali's meaning, his face blushed, but he did not refuse.She also wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of character Liang Xiao was.

Seeing that Mosuyeye was silent, Tie Huali got up and retreated, arranging for Mosuyeye and Liang Xiao to meet.

For several days, Liang Xiao didn't give Tie Huali a chance. Accompanied by Huangfuqi, he visited the market in Shache Kingdom.The city of Shache is the country, and the city of Shache is not only the capital of the country, but also the origin of the name of the country.Because it is located in the west of Tian, ​​Han merchants and merchants from Qiang Middle Road, who mainly deal in jade, generally do not come here. The merchants here mainly deal in leather goods and livestock, and some gemstones come from the west of Congling.

Liang Xiao saw many foreign businessmen in strange clothes in the market, and also saw novel goods that were rarely seen in the Central Plains, including some Uzi iron bars.Only then did he remember that Uzi iron was produced in Tianzhu, and this is the only way to Tianzhu.

Liang Xiao bought the Uzi iron block, and then chatted with the dark-skinned Tianzhu businessman with the help of an interpreter.Unexpectedly, this Tianzhu businessman was no stranger to the big man, and he spoke clearly and logically. He also told Liang Xiao that there were products from the big man on sale in Shache's market.However, business is not so easy now, more and more Han people are coming, the price of transshipment goods has dropped, and the profit is shallow. Except for inventory, few people are long-distance trafficking.

Under the leadership of Tianzhu merchants, Liang Xiao found the goods that were said to be from the Han Dynasty, a bamboo stick called Qiongzhang, and a linen fabric called Xiabu.Upon hearing these two names, Liang Xiao immediately understood where these things came from.

"These things come from Shu."

"Shu?" Huangfuqi was surprised. "Is there a road from Shu to Tianzhu?"

Liang Xiao smiled.Huangfuqi has been doing business in the Western Regions, so he has a better understanding of the Western Regions, but he doesn't know much about China.Of course, people in this era had limited understanding of Shu and the Southwest. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went on an envoy to the Western Regions and contacted the Dayue Clan to fight back against the Xiongnu, but failed, so he turned to Shu.Now that Hexi has been controlled by the Han people, of course there is no need to take such a detour.

However, if you can take Tianzhu from Shu, it will be a shortcut to communicate with Greece and Rome. Compared with land transshipment, the sea route is obviously more advantageous.Even compared with the sea roads starting from Jiangdu and Huiji, this business road has the advantage of being fast.

Maybe you can fool the emperor to send someone to develop the Southwest, lest he make a fuss and think about it all day long.

"Of course there is. As long as it is profitable, people are very motivated. Just like you, didn't you overcome many obstacles and come to the Western Regions to do business before our Han army took control of Hexi?"

Huangfuqi laughed. "General, we are businessmen, and it is the nature of businessmen to seek profit. However, there are not many nobles like the general who do not discriminate against us businessmen. It is our blessing to meet the general."

"Is there any discrimination or non-discrimination? I am also a profit-seeking person." Liang Xiao thought for a while, and handed the Qiongzhang and Xia Tian to Huangfuqi. "Old man, if you take these two things back home, and buy some unique treasures from Tianzhu to bring back and present them to the imperial court, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Since it can be profitable, why don't the general personally offer it to His Majesty?"

"I'm not short of that little money." Liang Xiao glanced at the distance, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Also, the singing and dancing in Tianzhu has its own characteristics, which is very different from my Central Plains. You can go back with a batch of Kabuki, you can have fun on the way, and you can sell them for a good price after you go back."

Huangfuqi laughed out loud. "Hahaha... Fortunately, the general joined the army. If you were also a businessman, we would have no money to make."

Liang Xiao also laughed. He walked to a shop specializing in kabuki next to him, looked him up and down, then walked directly to a veiled young woman with an enchanting figure, and looked him up and down. "What is the price of this woman?"

The woman couldn't understand Chinese, but she was a little scared and turned around to avoid it.When Tu Niu'er saw it, he took a step forward, stopped her, and shouted in a deep voice: "Blind thing, what are you pretending to do when you see my general being rude?"

"General?" The woman froze for a moment, raised her eyes to stare at Liang Xiao, and stopped several strong men who were about to rush over. "Han general?"

Liang Xiao couldn't understand what she said, and didn't take it seriously.He just felt that she had a good figure, and she had an aura that was rarely seen in Kabuki, so he took a second look.At this time, the shop owner heard the quarrel and hurried over.

"What's her price?"

The shopkeeper froze for a moment. "Her? She is not from our store, she is also here to buy goods."

Liang Xiao was stunned, and suddenly realized.No wonder it turned out to be a mistake.He quickly apologized to the woman for his guilt.The woman was very generous and accepted the apology, but did not leave. "Is this the Han general Liang Xiao?"

This time, Liang Xiao could barely understand what she said in Yuezhi language, while Huangfuqi recognized it all at once. "You are... Mrs. Mosuyeye?"

"Yes, I'm Mosuyeye." Mosuyeye bowed to Liang Xiao. "May I ask the general to take a step to speak."

Liang Xiao was also very surprised, and carefully looked at Mosuyeye.He had just rejected Tie Huali the day before yesterday, and met Mosuyeye at the market today, which is too coincidental.He thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes."

Mosuyeye seemed to be a frequent visitor here, and spoke a few words in Indian with the owner of the store. The owner of the store heard that the man in front of him was Liang Xiao, a Han Chinese general. He returned to the living room, offered dried fruit and wine graciously, and then retreated.

Tu Niuer immediately led people to guard the surroundings.He knew what to do without Liang Xiao's instructions.

Mosuyeye saluted Liang Xiao again. "Thank you, General, for avenging your deceased husband. The little girl has not yet thanked the General in person. It is really rude."

Liang Xiao waved his hand, straight to the point, and went straight to the point. "Madam, are you here for shopping, or are you here to see me?"

Mosuyeye was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed. "The general misunderstood. The owner of this store is my clan. When I am in a bad mood, I often come to see him, listen to the local accent, and make arrangements."

"So that's the case, then forgive me for offending."

"It doesn't matter. I wanted to see the general at first, but I haven't found a chance. It's a good thing to meet here by chance. After all, this is an environment I'm familiar with, so I don't have to be so nervous."

"Actually, madam, don't be nervous. I don't eat people." Liang Xiao smiled. "Those ballads are indeed a bit exaggerated, Madam, don't take them too seriously."

Mosuyeye also laughed twice, and really looked at Liang Xiao twice.Before that, she was indeed quite afraid of Liang Xiao. To her, Liang Xiao was like a ferocious beast, which could swallow her and the two children at any time. Now that they met, she found that Liang Xiao was actually very easy-going, even more accommodating. Her husband, Aliusu, was even more approachable, not as fierce and easy to kill as the songs sang.

"The general sang better than in the ballad." As soon as Mosuyeye said the words, he immediately felt that something was wrong, shut his mouth quickly, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Liang Xiao changed the subject. "Madam is from Tianzhu?"

"Yes, my family was originally in the south of Baba Mountain. Later, when the Daxia people came, we retreated south and crossed the Tianzhu River. Later, my grandfather was attached to his homeland, so he returned to Daxia. For safety, he married my mother It was given to Milan of Da Xia, who is also my father."

"So, your mother is from Tianzhu, and your father is from Daxia?"

"Yes." Mosuyeye hesitated for a moment, then took off the veil, revealing an exotic yet glamorous face.It was somewhat similar to the Tianzhu people in Liang Xiao's impression, but slightly different.

"Madam is indeed a beauty." Liang Xiao bowed and said with a smile, "Aliusu is indeed a hero, and only a peerless hero like him is qualified to marry such a beauty as Madam."

Mosuyeye's face was slightly red, but he didn't put on the veil again.She sighed. "Compared to the general, how dare he be called a peerless hero. Now he died on the battlefield, leaving me and my two children alone."

Liang Xiao lowered his eyelids and fell silent.This woman seems weak, but in reality she is very decisive, even a little aggressive.Knowing his identity, she didn't just retreat, but when she invited him to chat, she probably had already made a decision.At this moment, Tuqiong's dagger appeared, and he made a request straight to the point.

This is a bit tricky.Originally, he had no interest in Mosuyeye, so he could have simply refused.But I heard that she is the daughter of the great general of the Great Xia King, so I can't be too easy, so as not to hurt Mosuyeye's face.He didn't care about the grievances between Daxia and the Yuezhi, but he knew that the Yuezhi people west of Congling Mountain were very strong, they were still above Dawan, and if they were not handled properly, they would leave hidden dangers.

Seeing that Liang Xiao was silent, Mosuyeye got up from his seat and bowed down in front of Liang Xiao. "Please, general, for the sake of Aliusu's fighting side by side with the general, please be kind to my mother and son, so that I can raise the two children and leave some blood for Aliusu."

Liang Xiao thought for a while, and stretched out his hands to help. "Madam, get up, you don't have to be so polite. I love brothers with Aliusu. You are his wife, my sister-in-law, and his children are my nephews. Even if you don't tell me, I will protect them."

Mosuyeye is skeptical. "General..."

"We Han people know what we say, once we say something, it's hard to follow." Liang Xiao said: "Please hurry up, I still have something to say to my wife. You are always on your knees, what should I say?"

Mosuyeye had no choice but to stand up and return to his seat.

"Aliusu used to be the prince of the Yuezhi. Unfortunately, he died in battle. It is indeed a misfortune. Now that Batu has become the prince, how to arrange for Aliusu's son may have to be handled according to the customs of the Yuezhi people. I think that Aliusu's son is also from the royal family of the Yue clan, and the queen will never disregard her affection. Even if she can't be a prince, she should have no problem being a little king or a city lord."

Mosuyeye caressed his chest and let out a long breath.With Liang Xiao's words, at least the lives of her and her two children can be saved, and maybe they can get their wish to occupy Shache.

"There are many small countries in the Western Regions, each with their own customs. I am new here, so I can't act recklessly. However, everything is the same, and there are always favors. I would like to speak to the Queen and ask her to make proper arrangements. Please rest assured, Ma'am, after the beginning of spring , I will cross Congling Ridge, and then I will definitely convey Madam's request to the Queen."

"Then thank you General."

Liang Xiao returned the courtesy and asked again: "Madam, is Tie Huali...reliable?"

Mosuyeye didn't think about it. "Captain Tie Huali is loyal to Aliusu and absolutely reliable."

"Since this is the case, the matter will be easy to handle. Madam, please tell Tie Huali that he can stay in Shache City until your son... what is his name?"

"Morrowton."

"Until Morrton comes of age."
