Chapter 280
Learning that the Huns who were behind had no baggage, had no horses, and had only people to eat, Liang Xiao gave up and continued to move forward. In his opinion, the Huns had only two endings left, either being eaten or frozen to death. No matter which result, the more than 10,000 Huns had been wiped out, and his goal had been achieved, and there was no big difference between whether they could cut their ears or not.
I believe that Mei Cai won’t really count his ears and make achievements with him.
Rather than this, why continue to move forward at the risk of losing people? These mercenaries are rare elites.
Wudan's personal guard camp is well equipped, at least half of them have iron armor and their luggage is full of spoils. Now, these have become spoils for the mercenaries. In addition to tents, horses and camels, they made a lot of money on this expedition. What made them happiest was that these were all theirs, and they didn't have to be divided with the Yuezhi people or Dayuan people.
It feels so good to eat alone.
Liang Xiao ordered people to collect the materials they could use, pull them with the horses and camels of the Huns, and return the same way.
Twelve days later, they returned to the camp in the mountains, at least half a month earlier than expected. Meicai and Ashana were a little surprised. After Liang Xiao said that, they were deeply moved. This person's luck came, and he couldn't even stop him. If Wu Dan had not come up on his own initiative, Liang Xiao would not have completed the task so easily.
The only regret is that Wu Dan ran away. Liang Xiao couldn't explain Wu Dan's timely escape. Human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. In this case, Wu Dan can run away, so it can only be said that God does not intend to let him die. Compared with this, the experience under Su Ye's city is nothing.
At this point, the battle was settled, and the Wusun people returned without success. The Huns were wiped out, Meicai was rewarded, and the Yuezhi people had no contribution, but had worked hard. Not to mention Liang Xiao and others, Li Shuyun and Old Andrew blocked the Wusun people. The mercenaries killed five or six hundred elite Huns, and made great contributions.
Mei Cai was satisfied and ordered people to build a large number of sleds and rushed back to Suye City before the snow had melted.
Liang Xiao and others accompanied him, and the guardian mission of Yamaguchi was handed over to Jian Mi, the subordinate of Mei Cai. Jian Mi was extremely brave. When Mei Cai was attacked by Wu Dan, he led his troops to cut off the rear and saved Mei Cai's life.
Dongfang Shuo jumped out of the car, walked into the Liang family in a square step.
When Tuhuaer was arranged to clean the house in the courtyard, he looked up and said angrily: "Who is sir? Why don't you invite him to join?"
Dongfang Shuo was stunned and a little funny. "Don't you know me?"
"Are you very famous?" Tu Huaer smiled disdainfully and looked at Dongfang Shuo up and down. "You can't see any ability except to grow taller."
At this time, a little slave rushed over and attached himself to Tu Huaer's ear and said, "Sister Huaer. He is Mr. Dongfang."
"Mr. Dongfang?" Tu Huaer glared: "Where is Mr. Xi, go sweep your floor."
Dongfang Shuo was speechless. At this moment, Hu Xijun, who had a big belly, walked out from behind. Seeing that Dongfang Shuo was stopped by Tu Huaer, he hurriedly said, "Sister Huaer, he is Dongfang Manqian, the Lord invited him."
"Are you Dongfang Shuo?" Tu Huaer suddenly realized, jumped back and looked at Dongfang Shuo again. "Scared. It's really high, it's so expensive."
"Puff!" Dongfang Shuo was speechless. He had to turn his gaze to Hu Xijun. "Xijun, when will it be for the birth?"
"It's just a few days." Hu Xijun smiled embarrassedly. He held his waist and walked into the kitchen slowly.
When he heard that it was Dongfang Shuo, Tu Huaer did not dare to neglect, so he immediately asked someone to invite Mama Liang. After a while, Li Rongqing rushed out and invited Dongfang Shuo to the atrium to take a seat. After a while, Mama Liang also came out, smiling.
"Thank you sir."
"Madam, you're polite." Dongfang Shuo bowed and explained: "After receiving the news, I took some time to inquire. It's too late. Please don't be surprised by your wife."
Mama Liang smiled. "What did you know about me?"
"Actually, it's nothing. The King of Huainan wrote a letter to criticize the court for his trip to the west. The emperor was so upset that he asked Empress Chen to give a blow to the Queen Mother. As a result, Princess Guantao thought you had something to do with King Liang, so she asked you to ask."
Speaking of this, Dongfang Shuo paused. "Is there anything wrong with Mrs. Liang...?"
Mama Liang chuckled softly and said, "Why did sir ask that?"
"Mrs. I'm asking me to be a staff officer. If I can't tell me the truth, how can I be a staff officer for my wife?"
"Mr. Wenshuo is proficient in the Book of Changes and is full of shooting. I believe he already knows the truth at this moment, so why ask again?"
Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Since that's the case, I won't ask. However, there is one thing I still want to remind my wife."
"Sir, please say."
"The King of Huainan insisted on Huang-Lao's way, but Your Majesty wanted to promote Confucianism, but his Taoism was different, so he did not plan for each other. The Empress Dowager had not had much time, and the King of Huainan wanted to rely on the Queen Mother for help, but he was afraid that it would be counterproductive to hold firewood to put out the fire. If the wife wants to be at peace, it would be better to keep a distance from the King of Huainan."
Mama Liang pondered for a moment: "You mean, I should have cut off contact with Liu Ling, right?"
Dongfang Shuo nodded. "Madam, the status of the Master of Weng in Huainan is noble. I am afraid that Liang Xiao's identity cannot be accepted by Liang Xiao's identity, but it will delay Liang Xiao's future. From a long-term perspective, it is better to separate the relationship. Liang Xiao went to the Western Regions and didn't know when he would come back. The King of Huainan was determined to marry the Master of Weng in Wu'an's Mansion. Why not take this opportunity to finish it?"
"This..." Mama Liang hesitated a little. After a moment, she shook her head. "Mr. Dongfang, I know you are a good word, but I think I may not be able to do it. Not to mention that my son is thousands of miles away, I am afraid that I can't refuse it in just one or two words." She glanced at Dongfang Shuo and suddenly laughed. "How about asking Mr. Dongfang to come forward?"
Dongfang Shuo shook his head awkwardly. "I'm going to tell my wife that I've already said this through this, just..."
Mama Liang smiled, but she smiled a little ambiguously. "Since that's the case, let's just let them deal with it yourself. Anyway, my son Liang Xiao is not in Chang'an. If you wait for a while, you may be cold."
"I hope so."
Dongfang Shuo left the Liang family and returned to Chang'an. After the Wanhuli relocated, he moved to the east of the city and had to bypass the entire Chang'an City before he could return to his residence.
Outside the Fu'anmen, he saw an acquaintance Deng Guobin. As soon as he saw Deng Guobin, he turned around and wanted to hide. Unfortunately, his custom carriage was much larger than an ordinary carriage and was too conspicuous. Deng Guobin saw him at a glance. He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Mr. Dongfang, such a coincidence, I was about to find you."
Dongfang Shuo made a haha. "Is there anything wrong? I'm very busy now, so I'll talk about it if I have time." As he said, he asked the coachman to run quickly. Deng Guobin was across the road. He wanted to run away before Deng Guobin rushed over.
"It's something." Deng Guobin shouted loudly as he ran back. "There is a fixed pattern that I can't figure out. I want to ask Dongfang Jun for some advice."
"Fixed style?" Dongfang Shuo's heart moved. He obviously didn't want to have any interaction with Deng Guobin. However, he couldn't help but be curious. He stuck his head out of the car window in a terrible way and shouted loudly: "What kind of fixed style, is it very troublesome?"
"It's very troublesome. My master said that only Dongfang Jun can solve the problem in the world, so he sent me to Chang'an."
"Slow, slower." Dongfang Shuo was scratching his claws and didn't care about anything else. The carriage slowed down. At the intersection, Deng Guobin crossed the road and climbed onto Dongfang Shuo's carriage. He said breathlessly: "I just arrived at your house. Your little brother said you went to Maoling, and I was about to chase Maoling."
"You have to find me?"
"Yes, there are three thousand guests of the Huainan Prince's Mansion. No one can understand this pattern, so he has to come and ask Dongfang Jun for advice." Deng Guobin said. He spread a silk picture, drew several figures on it, and two rows of numbers were written below.
Dongfang Shuo looked at it. "What is this?"
Deng Guobin smiled and stretched his hand out of the window. He took a brocade box from the servant who rushed over and placed it in front of Dongfang Shuo. Dongfang Shuo opened it, took a look, and immediately took a breath of cold air, his eyes getting a little more hot. "Qianliyan?!"
"Dongfang Jun is indeed extraordinary, you can see it at a glance." Deng Guobin smiled and said, "This is Chang'an's second clairvoyance. If Dongfang Jun can solve this pattern, this is yours."
"really?"
"A gentleman's words are as good as he can."
Before Deng Guobin finished speaking, Dongfang Shuo covered the brocade box and stuffed it into his sleeve, grabbed the silk book. "Okay, I'll notify you when there is news."
"Let's do this, how many days will it take for Dongfang Jun? Then I will come to ask for advice in person."
Dongfang Shuo blinked. "Well... you give me ten days, how about it?"
"Okay. In ten days, I'll go find you. If Dongfang Jun can really untie it, not only will this clairvoyance be yours, but there will be another generous gift."
Dongfang Shuo became a little alert. "For a fixed pattern, is it as for such a big price?"
Deng Guobin smiled without saying a word, bowed and got out of the car. Dongfang Shuo snorted, opened the silk book, stared at the numbers, looked at them again and again, and suddenly felt a little regretful. The last time the fixed pattern about Qianqiu has not been solved yet. The fixed pattern of Qianliyan will not be like that, and it is another problem that Liang Xiao gave to Liu Ling?
If you can't solve this, it's a bit embarrassing. It's okay to lose to the disciples of the Huainan Prince's Mansion, but if you lose to Liang Xiao, you're a little unwilling to do it. That's a ignorant guy. It can't solve it once, but it can be said that it's accidental, but it can't solve it twice...
Dongfang Shuo touched the brocade box in his sleeve and bared his teeth, making it difficult to make a choice. He murmured: "Liang Xiao, I have to increase the commission. Are you both mother and son not good people? Do you treat me as a donkey?"
Outside Suye City, Liang Xiao suddenly shivered. Alpha, who was standing beside him, asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that my wallet is tight and I feel like I'm thinking about it. I feel like I'm going to lose money."
"Hehe, how could the master lose money? You are going to make money." Sigma chuckled and said, "When you return to Guishan City, the king will be happy. I don't know how much you will reward. Even if the king doesn't reward, the princess will reward you. If we can reward a few more sisters, we will be lively."
Liang Xiao wanted to say something but stopped. He thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said to himself: "No, I have to coax Dongfang Shuo and go west together."—
