Huainan Kingdom.≤≤small≤say,

In the quiet and elegant courtyard, the leaves of several wintersweet trees have fallen off, and the buds of gold and jade are like dewdrops on the dark brown tree poles, coexisting with vigorousness and tenderness.

Liu Ling stepped on wooden clogs and cut two branches with his own hands. He jogged back to the inner room, inserted the plum branch into a crystal clear glass bottle, and then put it on his nose and smelled it. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he clapped his hands proudly.

The heat in the fireplace flowed under the floor along the buried pipes, and the whole room was as warm as spring. Liu Ling took off the fox fur outside, spread a piece of silk, grind the ink with one hand, and picked up a round glazed piece and observed the buds. Under the glazed piece, the buds were a little twisted, but they became even bigger. The buds that were originally the size of a finger are now like children's fists, and the cores that could not be seen clearly can now be distinguished.

Liu Ling looked carefully for a while, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and started painting on silk.

A slightly rapid footstep sounded outside the door. Liu Ling frowned, stopped the pen in his hand, and continued to draw.

The figure of Prince Liu Qian appeared outside the door.

Liu Jian bowed his hands and quietly looked at Liu Ling who was painting at the desk. Seeing that she had no intention of getting up to greet her, the smile on her face gradually became a little unnatural. He coughed: "Aling."

"Oh." Liu Ling looked up in surprise. "So it's Brother Wang. Why, I'm a newly married man, and I didn't accompany the Crown Princess. If I have time to see me?"

"I am the kind of person who refuses to recognize my sister when I have a Crown Princess?" Liu Qian deliberately raised his eyebrows, took off his shoes at the door, and walked in. As soon as his feet stepped onto the floor, he smiled. "Sister is indeed rich. It's just a little cold, and it's getting fire."

"Hehe, there's a lot of money, and I can't use it." Liu Ling giggled and said, "Brother Wang is cold? If you need it, I'll give you some good charcoal from Yuzhang?"

"You are generous now." Liu Qian sat down opposite Liu Ling, leaning against the edge of the desk. He stretched out his slender little finger and clenched his nose. "Compared with you, my prince, I have become a mud that is not as good as the wall. Sister, you can teach me too."

Liu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth were tilted. "I really want to learn?"

Liu Qian nodded seriously. "Of course. I sincerely ask for advice."

"Okay. Go to the corner and stare at the dewdrops on the plum branches."

"Looking at the dewdrops? What can you tell?"

"You'll know when you go and see." Liu Ling waved his hand and picked up the pen again. "When did you find out, and when will you ask me again."

Liu Qian didn't move, stared at Liu Ling for a while, and suddenly laughed. "Aling, I'll tell you something, Liang Xiao went to the Western Regions."

Liu Ling's hand shook, and the pen drew a long line on the silk, painting the plum blossoms that had just been drawn halfway through. She lowered her head, was silent for a moment, slowly put down the pen, and took a piece of silk handkerchief and wiped her hands.

"When did it happen?"

"It should have set out a month and a half ago." Liu Qian's smile on his lips became stronger. "Also, he acted without permission and did not receive the will of the court."

Liu Ling suddenly laughed. She glanced at Liu Qian. "So. Do you think he will not receive a reward regardless of success or not?"

Liu Qian blinked and didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed his inner complacency.

Liu Ling's eyes rolled and he smiled again. "Brother Wang, I won't give you charcoal. In order to be a marquis, Liang Xiao traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions. I can't be idle either, I have to save some dowry, don't you? Otherwise, Huainan will lose face by then."

Liu Qian couldn't help but mocked: "You are so eager to marry a commoner?"

"He will soon be no commoner." Before Liu Qian could speak, Liu Ling said again: "Brother Wang, your throne is destined to be born, and his marquis earned by himself, so it cannot be compared. If it were you, you would probably not even dare to think about it, right?"

Liu Qian changed color and glared at Liu Ling, then left with a look.

As soon as he left the door, the smile on Liu Ling's face disappeared. She put down her pen, folded her arms on the table, and put her chin on her arms. She looked at the statue of Cupid in a daze. After looking at it for a while, she suddenly laughed silently, and two slight blushing appeared on her face. She reached out and pinched Cupid's face.

"Cunning boy, how much do you want to marry me? How hard do you work?"

Liang Xiao held the horse's neck tightly with his hands, minimizing the friction between his thighs and the saddle as much as possible. After riding for a long time, his thighs were already stained with blood and blood, and it hurts when touched. Every ups and downs of the war horse were torture.

The moon was panting, and white mist sprayed out from his mouth. It had been running for three days and three nights in a row, and it was almost unable to hold on. But Liang Xiao kept kicking and hitting it, forcing it to run forward as quickly as possible.

Every batch of horses was sweating like a pulp, but they were still running wildly.

Nearly a hundred figures appeared and disappeared on the horizon behind them.

That was King Hunxie and his most elite personal guard.

After parting with Asheus, Liang Xiao and his party robbed seventeen herders households. However, their luck was not good. Some herders' men had already taken war horses to war, leaving only untamed raw horses, who were not disciplined and could not ride. Some herders only had one or two war horses in their homes, and there were no suitable horses to replace them, and the horses kept falling to death. Liang Xiao and others were seriously affected.

Three days ago, King Hunxie finally caught up.

Liang Xiao had no choice but to order to throw away his exhausted horses, ride all on war horses, and fight and flee.

The three-day and three-night chase battle made them miserable. Without rest, the people and horses fled endlessly and fought endlessly. The people were extremely tired and the horses were extremely tired. Liang Xiao's arrow was almost empty, and the others' arrows were almost used up. If they could not get rid of Hun Xie King, they would have to rely on hand to fight.

The day before yesterday, Li Dingguo was seriously injured and fell off the horse, and his life and death were uncertain.

Yesterday, Xu Yanshou died in battle.

Now, King Hunxie was chasing him again like a ghost that never dispersed.

"Wenbin, is there any terrain in front of you that can be used?" Liang Xiao shouted in a hoarse voice.

Guo Wenbin also shouted at the top of his voice: "Sir, there is a mountain pass ahead. After passing that mountain pass, it is Dayuan Country."

"Is it the Dayuan that produces good wine, beauties and BMWs?"

"Yes, yes." Guo Wenbin understood it and said loudly: "There are hot springs there. Then, soaking in the hot springs, drinking wine, holding beauty, or riding a BMW to run on the grassland will be a fairy-like day."

Xie Guanglong couldn't help but lean over and said loudly: "Is the beauty in Dayuan more beautiful than the Hu Ji of the Daxia merchant?"

"How can I compare?" Guo Wenbin looked disdainful. "Ashebius is just a small businessman, his beard is just a medium-sized person and is not a beauty at all. Only you crude guys will be treasures, and I don't even want to touch it."

"Okay." Xie Guanglong's eyes shone and he shouted: "Brothers, you can't die. If you want to die, you have to die in the arms of the beautiful Dayuan."

"That's right, I'll be buried in the wine jar." Pang Shuo also shouted excitedly.

Everyone laughed wildly after hearing this.

"I want to eat three servings and help Xu Yanshou and Li Dingguo bring them."

"Leave this difficult task to me."

Liang Xiao and Guo Wenbin squeezed their eyes and smiled knowingly. At the critical moment, they could only use this psychological stimulation to squeeze their potential. Without hope, it would be difficult for them to run to the mountain pass in front. Looking at the mountain, the horses were running to the dead, and it seemed that they were right in front of them, and often had to run for half a day before they could get there.

And King Hunxie was behind him, probably less than three miles away.

"Brothers, King Hunxie has chased us for three thousand miles and is at the end of his strength. He chased us, but he just gave us the head. Everyone gritted their teeth and grabbed the mountain pass in front and occupied the favorable terrain. Let's accept this gift, okay?"

"Okay!" Xie Guanglong yelled sharply.

"I send a bird's head to a thousand miles away. Gifts are light and affection is heavy. How can I not accept it?" Li Shuyun, who has always been elegant, also shouted.

Everyone rode their horses again and ran towards the mountain pass in the distance.

King Hunxie was panting, his mouth was dry, and his temples were pounding, which made him feel dizzy.

He fought a war all his life, and rode on horseback since he could walk. He never thought that riding a horse would be so painful.

The reason for all this was because of chasing Liang Xiao. He didn't expect these Han people to be so able to run, travel day and night, and almost didn't give him a chance to breathe. It took him half a month to bite Liang Xiao and his team's tail, and he also had a heavy price.

The continuous galloping of three or four thousand miles was far beyond the estimate of King Hunxie. Even the Huns who grew up on the horse could not bear it. The two thousand elite soldiers were now less than a hundred people left to follow him, and they were all exhausted and exhausted. As soon as the horse stopped, these people might roll off the horse directly. The horse preparation was almost exhausted, leaving only the mount under the crotch, and there was no possibility of replacement.

Even the age of young people cannot bear it, and the old man's Hunxie King can't bear it. If he hadn't seen Liang Xiao's back, he would have given up. Now victory is in sight, and as long as he chases up, he can take back his son's head. He can't let him give up.

They were tired, but Liang Xiao and others were not tired? Could it be that the Huns who grew up eating meat on the grassland were not as good as the Han people who grew up eating food?

King Hunxie couldn't swallow this breath. He didn't want to be the laughing stock of others, so he must stop Liang Xiao and others, cut off his head, and avenge Gulu Fox. He took a deep breath, looked at his subordinates who were also panting on both sides, and shouted:

"Catch one, reward ten horses, hundreds of cows, and be promoted to the commander of a thousand men! Catch Liang Xiao, reward hundreds of horses, and be promoted to the commander of a thousand men!"

The Huns responded in a verbal manner. They might not have heard the reward from King Hunxie, but they all knew that when they chased to this level, King Hunxie would definitely set up a reward to inspire morale. After this battle, you can reach the sky in one step, which is more cost-effective than participating in dozens of wars. The reward aroused their remaining courage. Someone stood up on the horse's back, danced his sword, shouted loudly, and boosted morale.
