Chapter 282

Late at night, beside the stove and under the oil lamp, Liang Xiao was at his desk and wrote urgently. Please search (Price % to read the most complete novel!

He wrote several letters, preparing to take Li Shuyun back to Chang'an.

The first letter was of course to the emperor. He reported his itinerary in detail, learned the information, and emphasized the reason why he did not go back for the time being, hoping to get the support of the emperor. Especially after the battle, he carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Huns and Wusuns, and suggested that the emperor strengthen the construction of cavalry and reform the existing military system in order to effectively deal with the future war with the Huns.

The second letter is to me. I have to report peace so far away from home so that I can rest assured. In this letter, I can’t say anything about life and death, but only say everything is safe and everything goes smoothly.

The third letter was to Dongfang Shuo. Among the more than 400 camels, three of them were his. In addition to the seeds of various crops, they were Greek classics he had worked hard to collect, some of which were originals and some were manuscripts. These classics were prepared for Dongfang Shuo. He did not have the energy or the intention to translate them. He only roughly described the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains west of the Palacioles in the letter, which believed that they could arouse Dongfang Shuo's curiosity.

Liang Xiao originally wanted to write a letter to Liu Ling, but after thinking about it, he finally let it go and only put a page in the letter to my mother.

However, he picked a book for Liu Ling: a copy of Euclid's "Original". This book was discovered by him in the Dayuan Palace, and was lying in the corner without anyone caring about it. However, he felt like he had gained a treasure and spent a lot of effort to translate a volume with the help of Alpha and hand-drawn the illustrations in it. I believe Liu Ling would like this gift.

He originally wanted to translate all the thirteen volumes, but his time and energy were limited, so he could only talk about it later.

Liang Xiao was very satisfied with the completion of his work. Although his calligraphy was average, it was neat but impeccable. Every stroke was like the movement of archery, every stroke was in place and neatly. The overall effect was absolutely nothing to say.

Xiya walked in. "Master, a guest is here."

"There are still guests at this time?" Liang Xiao looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. He put down his pen and rubbed his hands. "Who? If it doesn't matter, I'll say I'm already asleep..."

Xiya didn't say anything, Liang Xiao raised his head in surprise, but saw a pretty figure standing at the door. It was the pearl of Dayuan, Princess Luo Xuli. Liang Xiao was shocked. He stood up quickly, quickly met him, bowed and bowed.

"Princess, why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Luo Xuli walked in, untied her cloak, handed it to Xiya, revealing a well-tailored dress, shining under the fire. She glanced at Liang Xiao and smiled. "I heard that you are very busy these two days. Have you been hurt by drinking?"

Liang Xiao smiled awkwardly. It feels really bad to have four little spies around him, and he can't hide anything.

"The emperor and ministers of Dayuan are so enthusiastic that they are indeed a little unbearable."

"You defeated the Huns and Wusun people and defended Dayuan, thank you too." Luo Xuli walked to the desk, looked at the letter Liang Xiao had just written, and then looked at the translation of the "Original" with a flash of eyes. "Precautions for that princess?"

Liang Xiao looked at Luo Xuli in surprise. Can you tell it?

"You are so attentive to her." Luo Xuli sighed softly: "You want to travel west, is it for her?"

"Why did the princess say that?"

"I heard that the most collection of books in the world is the library in Alexandria." Luo Xuli turned around, leaning on the desk, his eyes lit up. "Can you take me there?"

Liang Xiao was startled and shook his head repeatedly. "Princess, don't joke. You are a daughter-in-law, how can you travel thousands of miles? If something happens, who can bear this responsibility?" He thought for a while and said, "If someone else can still get in the crowd, the princess will be bright and radiant. She has a noble temperament and can tell at a glance that she is absolutely extraordinary, but she can't hide it."

"Puchi" Luo Xuli couldn't help laughing. She bit her red lips, glared at Liang Xiao, and said in a whisper: "Big liar!"

Liang Xiao laughed dryly and touched his nose a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious business." Luo Xuli coughed, put away her smile, but the blush on her face became even stronger. "You have made such a great contribution, how can my father reward you? Do you want Baoyu or Mingzhu?"

Luo Xuli dragged her voice and looked at Liang Xiao intently. Her white face was ashamed as a crystal ruby. Liang Xiao lowered her eyelids and said seriously: "Since the Han Dynasty has become an ally with Dayuan, it should be a common hatred for the enemy. I should do this, and I dare not ask for rewards."

"No," Luo Xuli became anxious, walked forward, hugged Liang Xiao's arm and shook it. "No, don't you want it. Tell me quickly, do you want Baoyu or Mingzhu?"

Liang Xiao twitched twice, but couldn't pull his arm out. He smiled bitterly and said, "Can you want money? I want to travel thousands of miles west, lacking money, and lacking a lot of money."

Luo Xuli bulged her cheeks, glared at her eyes, and looked at Liang Xiao angrily. "You... why are you so stupid?"

"Am I stupid?" Liang Xiao continued to pretend to be confused. "I don't think there is any problem. It's so long and so many people, so it costs a lot of money."

"Okay, don't regret it." Luo Xuli let go of Liang Xiao and rushed out. "I asked my father to reward you with money and bury you with gold."

Liang Xiao chased to the door and said loudly: "Princess, then I'll wait."

Xiya glanced at Liang Xiao in confusion and chased him out. "Princess, princess, your cloak..."

In mid-April, Liang Xiao sent Li Shuyun, Batu and others out of Guishan City. With Batu traveling with them, they will take the Yuezhi to cross the Pamir Mountains. This section of the road is still under the control of the Yuezhi people, and the safety is relatively guaranteed.

Half a month later, Liang Xiao himself set off for Kangju in the west of Dayuan.

The King of Dayuan rewarded Liang Xiao with 30,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to one thousand gold coins, which was indeed a generous gift. However, for Liang Xiao, the money was a drop in the bucket.

He now has more than 400 Greek infantry and cavalry under his command, and almost everyone has a few mouths behind him. This little money is not enough. The King of Dayuan is very generous to him, but he is very stingy to ordinary soldiers. He only rewards ten gold coins per person. Liang Xiao can only pay out of his own pocket and compensate them. He wants to take them to Greece. After a trip for at least two years, he must relieve their worries so that they can travel far and peacefully.

Before the 30,000 gold coins were heated, Liang Xiao became a pauper and didn't even have the travel expenses. He was a little disappointed. The dignified princess didn't keep her word. She said she could use gold to bury me?

Fortunately, Meicai extended a helping hand in time and gave Liang Xiao 50,000 gold coins to thank Liang Xiao for helping him, which was considered to solve Liang Xiao's urgent need.

This experience made Liang Xiao realize the huge consumption of war again. If he had no money, he could not afford to fight.

Although luxury goods are not beneficial to people's livelihood, from the perspective of making money, this business has to be carried out for a long time.

After leaving Guishan City, he walked west along the Gasatis River. After walking for a few miles, Sigma pulled Liang Xiao's sleeve. "Master, look, it's the princess."

Liang Xiao looked up and was surprised. No, she really wanted to follow me west? He had no choice but to kick the mount and walked over. Luo Xuli sat on the white horse and glanced at Liang Xiao sideways. "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to find you."

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his heart in his throat.

The white horse came over, sniffed each other with the black horse, rubbed his face, and was extremely intimate. Luo Xuli and Liang Xiao were only two arms apart. Seeing Liang Xiao feeling relieved, she was very angry. "Do you hate me so much?"

"Princess, you misunderstood." Liang Xiao looked at the distance with guilt, and no one looked here. He leaned closer and whispered: "I have a long distance, and I am not strong enough to ensure the safety of the princess. Besides, the army is vulgar and the princess is accompanying him, so it is inconvenient. For the sake of the princess, it is better to stay in Guishan City."

"There are insufficient troops, can't you bring more soldiers?"

"I think so, but I don't have money."

“I have money.”

"How can I use the princess' money?" Liang Xiao shook his head, not to question it. "Princess, in our great men, men who use women's money will be despised for the rest of their lives, just like slaves. I thank the princess for her kindness, but please don't say such things again. A gentleman loves money and takes it well. Every gold coin he uses is earned by himself, openly and with heaven and earth."

Seeing Liang Xiao’s face was serious and angry, Luo Xuli knew that she had to mutter: “You Han people are so weird.”

Liang Xiao calmed down his face and bowed. "Princess, please come back. When I come back, I will bring gifts to the princess."

"Okay." Luo Xuli chuckled: "It's not worse than the gift you gave to that princess." After that, he kicked the white horse and ran away.

Liang Xiao scratched his head, which was a bit troublesome. Alas, although the beauty was proud of her favor, the blessings of the same people were not so easy to enjoy, especially when facing the two princesses.

Wu Dan staggered, fell into the snow, and rolled down the hillside.

Yiwuer was shocked and screamed repeatedly: "Be careful, there is a cliff ahead."

Wu Dan couldn't hear anything, his speed was getting faster and faster, and he rolled into a snowman and rushed towards the cliff. Seeing that he was about to fall into the cliff, a figure flew down from the hillside like a big bird. Several people fell to chase Wu Dan and grabbed Wu Dan. Wu Dan's whereabouts were too fast, and the two fell down together. In desperation, the man stretched out his hand, threw out the whip in his hand, and wrapped it around a huge rock.

With a "boom", the two slid down and disappeared from Yiuer's sight.

Yiwuer came and saw the two of them hanging in the air. He breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked closely, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Great Wizard?"

The wizard held Wu Dan in one hand and held the whip in the other, shouting loudly: "Pull us up."

Yiwuer woke up from a dream and quickly pulled them up. Wu Dan didn't know where he hit him, his face was covered with blood and he was unconscious. Yiwuer was at a loss, but the wizard was calm and asked Yiwuer to pick up Wu Dan and walk up the hillside. Turning over the hillside, a shack appeared in front of him, which was very simple, with only a few animal skins inside and nothing else-
