Princess Guantao walked quietly, Chen Ajiao followed behind, thinking, falling further and further. ←, Princess Guantao heard the sound of Huan Pei getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but frown, turned around and looked at Chen Ajiao. Chen Ajiao rushed up, looking confused.

"My mother, are you old and confused? I asked her about King Huainan, but she talked about King Liang."

Princess Guantao glared at her. "Your eldest mother is old and a little confused, but she is much more sober than you."

Chen Ajiao pouted. "Mother, why did you say to me again?"

Princess Guantao ignored her and asked suddenly: "Did the emperor go to the Jiaofang Hall?"

Chen Ajiao blushed and nodded repeatedly. "He stayed in the Jiaofang Hall yesterday."

"Can you have some ambition?" Princess Guantao became more angry. "You are the queen, and he doesn't stay in the Jiaofang Hall. Should you be hang out with those advocates? You, the queen, have no dignity at all. He comes occasionally, and you will be so happy that you can come and be a lobbyist for him?"

Chen Ajiao turned her face and pretended to look at the scenery. Princess Guantao saw it and sighed: "The Empress Dowager is the backer of you, my mother and daughter. Now she is old and weak, and she has not had much time. You have no choice but to bother her for a commoner. My mother's painstaking efforts have been ruined by you. One day, you will be replaced by Wei Zifu, and I will be suppressed by Pingyang."

"Mother, how can you say that?" Chen Ajiao was anxious. "She just gave birth to a daughter, not..."

"If you can have a daughter, you can have a son." Princess Guantao glanced at Chen Ajiao. "With your temper, he will stay in the Jiaofang Hall for one night if he has something to do. When will you get pregnant?"

Chen Ajiao was anxious, her face turned red, and she screamed: "He refused to come, what can I do?"

"Silly child, you have to find a way to hook his heart." Princess Guantao was so angry that she was unable to do anything. "You have to take what she likes to win over his heart and not be exploited by other women. Only then can you keep the position of this queen."

“Aren’t I doing it now?”

"You are just being used by him now, not trying to touch your own mind." Guantao stretched out his well-maintained finger and poked Chen Ajiao's forehead hard. "You have to think about it and think about what he wants. Instead of being like a piece of wood, he was deceived into being dizzy."

Chen Ajiao woke up from a dream and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Where is Liang Xiao from? Don't rush to tell him, my mother sends someone to check it out first." Princess Guantao pondered for a moment and sneered: "If he is really from Liang and has something to do with King Liang, maybe it's my mother and daughter's chance."

“What opportunity?”

"Don't worry about this, wait until I've asked it clearly before making a decision."

Chen Ajiao nodded in a vague way.

Liang Xiao and Meicai sat in the tent, surrounding the burning fire pit, drinking wine and eating barbecue while chatting.

The mountains are covered with heavy snow, and they can't go anywhere. They can only chat and spank here and spend time.

The heavier the snow fell, the happier they were. Because this meant that the harder the lives of the Huns were. They came calmly and brought enough supplies, but the Huns returned in vain. Apart from war horses, there was probably only human flesh to eat. It is really unknown how many people could go back thousands of miles.

Although he suffered a heavy blow, he turned defeat into victory in the end. After making a great contribution, Mei Cai was in a good mood. He drank a little high today, forgot the reserve that the deputy king should have, and he hugged Liang Xiao.

"Do you know why Dayuan is so rich?" Meicai half-squinted his drunken eyes and looked at Liang Xiao proudly. "Do you know why Dayuan people are unwilling to give up this pasture?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Please give advice from the deputy king."

"Because here..." Mei Cai pointed hard at the ground, and his finger almost poked the ground. "There is! Jin! Zi!"

"There is gold?"

"Yes, Sai people called this mountain a mountain of gold. You can often pick up gold in the mountains. Not only gold, but also Baoyu." Meicai laughed. "The Wusun people were defeated by the Yuezhi people, and Sai people were driven away by the Yuezhi people. This pasture became our Dayuan people, and the gold and Baoyu here were both from Dayuan people. Therefore, we are not short of money at all."

Liang Xiao suddenly woke up. During this period, he only thought about how to join forces with the Yuezhi people and Dayuan people to introduce good horses from Central Asia into the Central Plains, but he forgot about this. That's right, in later generations, this area should belong to the Altai Mountains. Altai means gold, which is a famous source of gold.

It turns out that the people of Dayuan rely not only on trade, but also on the back of the golden mountain. A golden pie fell from the world, which hit them on their heads, so they could sit and enjoy food and clothing. When powerful enemies invade, they would rather spend money to buy peace, because this little money is nothing to them.

As for whether this mountain of gold is a blessing or a disaster, it depends on how you view it. However, for him, this is good news.

He was worried about what to do next.

He stopped the Wusun people and repelled the Huns, and he basically gained a foothold in Dayuan. However, the Wusun people and the Huns were still on his way back. After the mission was completed, whether they could return to the Han Dynasty to receive rewards alive is still a question.

The journey of thousands of miles of grassland is long. With the current strength of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the road will not be able to be smooth. With the troops of Dayuan and Yuezhi alone, it will not be able to fight against Wusun and the Huns in a short period of time. So how can I go back?

Is it still based on luck like when I came?

When they came, the Huns were not aware of it, so they could take advantage of it. Now they killed Gulu Hunxie Lao Wang and severely injured Wu Dan. It is probably unlikely that they would sneak over. Once they were caught by the Huns, their fate might be worse than Zhang Qian. Don’t think about marrying a wife and having children, but it’s perfect to behead their heads and make their hearts.

As long as a caravan, hiring mercenaries to protect them is the only possible way. But it is only possible. Whether it can be feasible depends on whether the wallet is full. Mercenaries have to risk their lives, which is much more expensive than ordinary mercenaries. Without sufficient economic foundation, they cannot make a move. They are messengers, not merchants, and no one has profits. If they want to organize mercenaries, they can only rely on sponsorship.

Nie Yi and other Han merchants had raised more than 13,000 yuan for him. If they were to draw on it, they were afraid that there would be problems with their working capital. He couldn't bear to draw blood from them again, and he had to make another source of money. Now that Mei Cai revealed such news, he immediately had a direction.

"This time I defeated the Huns and Wusun people, and Jinshan was still controlled by Dayuan, and the deputy king was the first contribution."

"Hahaha..." Mei Cai patted Liang Xiao's shoulder hard. "That's right, if nothing unexpected happens, this pasture will become my territory and this mountain of gold will be managed by me. Liang Jun, these are all your gifts, and I will definitely not forget you."

"You are polite to the deputy king." Liang Xiao raised his glass and said with a smile: "Celebrating the deputy king's meritorious service, gaining both fame and fortune, and drink this glass as a full drink."

"It should." Meicai raised his wine glass and drank it all, and the blood-red wine spilled everywhere. He wiped his mouth and said with his tongue wide open: "Although Luo Xuli is not my daughter, I love her very much and hope she can find a good husband. I know she is grateful to Liang Jun. If Liang Jun is willing to marry her, Dayuan and Dahan will have a marriage relationship..."

Liang Xiao quickly stopped Meicai. Meicai got drunk and began to talk nonsense. If he really married Luo Xuli, his future career would end here. Emperor Wu of Han would never agree to a person who married the Princess of Dayuan to be responsible for the Western Regions. No matter how much Luo Xuli liked him, Wu Wu would not let her marry an ordinary Han man, unless this person could live in Dayuan and had an official status. These are two options that cannot be obtained at the same time.

Besides, although Luo Xuli is beautiful and cute, the one he likes the most is the Huainan Master.

"Person King, you're drunk."

"I'm not... drunk." Meicai laughed and waved his hand hard. "Who can compete with you and I?"

Liang Xiao smiled and ordered Meicai to be helped into the inner tent to rest. Meicai muttered, fell on the bed, and slept soundly.

Liang Xiao took Guo Wenbin, Alpha and Sigma out of the tent, stepped on the knee-deep snow, and walked back to his tent. Halfway through the mercenaries' tent, he stopped and went in to take a look. Some of the mercenaries were chatting, some were drinking, and some were wiping weapons. Seeing Liang Xiao coming in, the bison and other leaders immediately surrounded him and enthusiastically led Liang Xiao to the main seat and sat down.

"Sir, what should I do if the Huns are so careless?"

Liang Xiao smiled. At the beginning, he agreed with these mercenaries that the commission was divided into three parts: part of it was advance payment, part of it was the commission paid by the Suye City Shoufu, and these two parts had been paid in place; and part of it, accounting for more than half of the total commission, and the spoils were paid. Now the Huns fled without fighting, and the spoils were about to fail, so these mercenaries were naturally anxious.

Liang Xiao comforted, "Don't worry, I won't treat everyone badly. It snows heavily, and the Huns' life is not easy. Some people are waiting for you to pick it up."

"The Yuezhi people, won't the Dayuan people compete with us?"

"Grasking is inevitable. However, we are allies, not enemies, and it is impossible to break up. Whether we can grab it depends on who is moving faster. In this regard, I believe you will not be inferior to those master soldiers, right?"

"That's it." The Bison laughed. "After us, they can't even eat their farts."

"I'm optimistic about you." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "You are all elites I have selected. Not to mention here, even if you look at the world, it will be difficult for you to find a real opponent. Enjoy this time, and these will be the most memorable months in your life."

"Sir, why is it only a few months, not a few years?" Linghu took a sip of wine and said slowly.

Liang Xiao glanced at him. "When this mission is completed and you will be disbanded, it will be difficult for you to have the opportunity to form such an elite team. Maybe you will be jealous of other people's wallets and kill them to the death."

The mercenaries' eyes immediately changed, less intimate and more alert—
