Chapter 265

The first rich man Liang Xiao met was undoubtedly Liu Ling. Whether it was Liu Ling's ship or the decoration of the Huainan Prince's Mansion, Liang Xiao, who had two lifetimes, was envious. [, after coming to Dayuan and seeing the Dayuan Palace, his horizons were already wide open. Compared with the Dayuan Palace, the Huainan Prince's Mansion was too low-key and even had a strong sense of coldness. At that time, he felt that the Dayuan King was the real rich man.

However, although the Dayuan Palace is luxurious, it is not corrupt, or in other words, it has no chance to see the corrupt side.

Now, he saw this side in the city guard house of Creon. The hot spring baths that can accommodate more than 200 people, exquisite stone statues, open wine and beauty, Creon's grandeur showed is unimaginable and his courage when facing the enemy, let alone the legendary Alexander era.

It is conceivable that people like Creon are never alone, and the powerful people in Dayuan are probably all like this. Creon is just because he has Suye City and has stronger economic strength.

Liang Xiao had been to the city guarding the palace several times before, but he never had the chance to experience such a scene. If he hadn't risked leaving the city to attack the camp, and miraculously escaped and was regarded as a guest of honor by Creon, he would probably never have known that such a luxurious life was hidden behind Creon's cowardly face.

Liang Xiao could only sigh, unable to tell whether it was envy or regret.

Because they were well prepared and the Huns were too careless, Liang Xiao and his team fought quickly, and although almost everyone was injured, they were not fatal. With beauties and wine, they were excited and struggled for nearly an hour before they reluctantly left the hot spring, put on their clothes, and came to the front hall to have a banquet.

Creon greeted him with a smile and diligently welcomed Liang Xiao into the seat.

While Liang Xiao and others were bathing and healing, Creon invited all the famous wealthy businessmen in the city, and Nie Yi and others were on the list. Seeing Liang Xiao come out, Nie Yi showed a knowing and ambiguous smile. He walked to Liang Xiao and chuckled: "Sir, have you opened your eyes?"

Liang Xiao's heart moved. Hearing this, Nie Yi also knew about Creon's situation? He looked at Nie Yi. Nie Yi smiled and said softly: "City Guard is the king of a city, and at least half of Suye City's wealth is in Creon's hands. If you want to gain a foothold in Suye City, this is a good opportunity."

Liang Xiao's eyes swept, and several Han merchants nodded at the same time, not hiding the surprise in their eyes. They were all invited by Creon in the middle of the night. Unlike other guests, they had known that Liang Xiao had left the city to attack the camp for a long time, so they were waiting for news. When they heard that Liang Xiao had returned safely, they breathed a sigh of relief and were more excited.

Their investment was not wasted, and they were very successful. Just from Creon's sudden enthusiasm for Liang Xiao, we can know that the good time of the Han people in Suye City has come. At this moment, they saw Liang Xiao as if they saw a mountain of gold.

Liang Xiao bowed his hand gratefully and thanked the Han merchants. If it weren't for the funds they raised, he wouldn't have created such a miracle. War horses, armor, weapons, and rewards after the war. What's the money? Not to mention anything else, the horses thrown away are worth more than a hundred gold. Such a luxurious lineup was piled up by the Han merchants with money. Half of their military medals were included.

"What do you guys say so much? How can you not know?" Nie Yi deliberately looked at the Han merchants. The Han merchants slapped with apologetic look, but their eyes were staring at Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao looked at him and couldn't help but laugh. The group of unscrupulous merchants sang and collaborated, and they cooperated with him in a tacit understanding.

Creon arranged Nie Yi and others beside Liang Xiao. After everyone sat down, Creon stood up, raised his arms and pressed lightly.

The whispered guests immediately closed their mouths and looked at Creon.

"You must be very strange today. Do you think I'm crazy again? I'm asking you to drink in the middle of the night." Creon patted his chest. "I promise you in the name of Zeus that I'm very sober and not crazy, but..." He paused and smiled before he could speak. "I just can't hold back my joy and want to share it with you. You guys, do you think it's a bit strange to see so many warriors?"

Everyone looked at each other, and most of them didn't know what happened except Nie Yi and others. Dozens of teenagers and vulgar mercenaries appeared in the city guard mansion, which was always idle. This was really strange.

"It's very simple. They just left the city to hunt and walked in the Hun camp." Kreon waved his hand, and two waiters brought Wudan's battle flag to show everyone. The battle flag was pulled off from the flagpole by Tu Niuer, only half of it, but the deer heads on it were still clearly visible, which was the Wudan battle flag that many people had seen on the city during the day.

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar.

This news was really shocking. For those here, the Huns were definitely people at the top of the food chain, followed by the Wusun people, followed by the Yuezhi people, and then the Sai people, and finally the Dayuan people. The Han Han was too far away, and apart from the exquisite silk, they knew nothing about the strength of the Han Han.

Suddenly, they heard that hundreds of Han envoys left the city and attacked the Huns, and many of them came back. How could they not be surprised?

For a moment, countless gazes, either surprised or awe, fell on Liang Xiao's face.

Liang Xiao suddenly felt bloody and couldn't help but straighten his back to welcome everyone's attention. Nie Yi and others looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

From this moment on, the great generals of the Han Dynasty were engraved in the hearts of the people of Dayuan.

The emperor sat in the fur with his fur, his eyes slightly weak. He looked at the memorial on the desk, but his mind was obviously not on the memorial, and his fingers were knocking on them one after another.

"Du...dou...dou...dou..."

Han Yan stood aside with her hands, bowed her head and eyebrows, like an old monk entering into meditation.

"Prince." The emperor suddenly said, his eyes gathered again. Han Yan raised his head in response. "Your Majesty?"

"You go to Daxing Temple to take a look." The emperor raised his hand, scratched his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the memorial on the desk again. "Ask Wang Hui, if there is any news about Liang Xiao. If there is no news, I can't explain to the Empress Dowager. What disease did this Huainan King... have committed? He insisted on not being able to get along with a Langguan?"

"Your Majesty, I know a little reason."

"What do you know?" The emperor's eyes flashed and he turned to Han Yan.

Han Yan smiled. "Your Majesty, do you remember that Prince Huainan just married Xiu Chengjun's daughter?"

The emperor snorted and did not comment. Of course he knew about this. Xiu Chengjun Jinsu was his half-sister and sister, and was deeply loved by the Queen Mother. The King of Huainan married her daughter to the Crown Prince Liu Jian, just to make friends with the Queen Mother. Liu An was really thinking, and it was not enough to curry favor with the Queen Mother, and he also had to climb the Queen Mother's tree.

"What does this have to do with Liang Xiao?"

"Of course it's related. Did Your Majesty forget that the Lord of Huainan has feelings for Liang Xiao, and everyone in Chang'an knows it. But the King of Huainan seems to have another intention. He intends to marry Marquis Wu'an, so..."

The emperor's face changed. After a moment, he sneered: "Son Wang, you're thinking too much. Even if the King of Huainan wants to marry Marquis Wu'an, he doesn't need to criticize Liang Xiao. Although Liu Ling has a lot of opinions, he still has to decide the marriage, so he won't settle for his life with Liang Xiao."

"Your Majesty, that's not necessarily true." Han Yan smiled. "My big man's women are very independent, and there are many people who don't let others be. Did Your Majesty forget Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun? Compared to Zhuo Wenjun who cannot support himself, the Master of Huainan is much stronger. If things fail, she will go out to sea and elope with Liang Xiao, what can the King of Huainan do?"

The emperor smiled and nodded repeatedly. "This is true. The Master of Huainan is good at making money. He doesn't need to sell wine like Zhuo Wenjun to force his father. Moreover, Liang Xiao is better than Sima Xiangru. The world is so great that there is no place for them to live. Haha, it would be difficult for the King of Huainan to not follow the footsteps of Zhuo Grand His grandson."

"So, he only had to write a letter several times. In order to oppose the emperor's conquest, he was actually cursing Liang Xiao. If Liang Xiao died in the Western Regions..."

Han Yan didn't finish her words because he had already seen the emperor's face gloomy and angry. He knew that he had hit the emperor's hidden worries, and if he continued to say it, it would only backfire. It would be better to shut up.

The people of Chu prefer witches, and the witches are prevalent in Chu. The King of Huainan has 3,000 disciples. Even magical magic such as Huangbai Technique can be said to be true. Curses are not a piece of cake. Liang Xiao is already dangerous enough to go on a mission thousands of miles away. If he is cursed again, he is afraid that there will be more misfortunes.

The emperor's mood became worse and worse.

At this moment, Daxing ordered Wang Hui to ask for a meeting. When the emperor heard this, he quickly announced him to enter the hall and rushed to the door to wait. Wang Hui rushed over all the way and saw the emperor waiting in the hall gate. He was flattered and hurried forward to salute.

"What's the news?"

"Your Majesty, I have received the tip that Liang Xiao has arrived at the capital of Dayuan safely."

The emperor was overjoyed and blurted out: "Are you serious?"

Wang Hui said, "Your Majesty, how dare I deceive the king? I have a letter here. Please read it." As he said that, he handed the book he had just received to the emperor.

The emperor hurriedly took it over and walked towards the book. Some of his hands were trembling. He had dismantled it twice but failed to untie the green rope tied to the bamboo slips. He simply picked up the book knife next to him, cut it off, spread out the book slips, and quickly browsed. After reading only a few sentences, he laughed.

"Okay, okay." He read, cheered. "Kill the Hun Prince Gulu Fox? That's great. Ah..." The emperor suddenly shouted, raised his head, stared at Wang Hui, with an uncontrollable ecstasy on his face. "Liang Xiao... killed King Hunxie?"

"Yes, yes." Wang Hui couldn't control his pride in his heart and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, there is still behind, and there is still behind."

"And?" The emperor didn't know what to say, so he continued to read.

Seeing this, Han Yan couldn't help but feel like a cat scratching her. It was an itchy surprise to kill King Hunxie. Why is there any more? He wanted to come over, but when he saw the emperor's appearance, he stepped aside with tactfully. At this time, he was scrambling to see with the emperor, which was obviously not a good idea. While Han Yan was thinking, he glanced at Wang Hui with his eyes, wanting to inquire about some news from Wang Hui first.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the emperor slammed the table with a palm and laughed loudly.

"What a Liang Xiao, I am worthy of being my great man. With my own strength, I can show my power thousands of miles away. Happy! Happy!" -
