The translator had not yet translated Liang Xiao's words, Tie Huali's expression changed. The two armies were fighting each other, and this was no longer a competition, but a life-threatening fight. Thinking of the murderous soldiers outside, he felt a chill in the back of his neck. Suddenly, he regretted that he had come to Liang Xiao like this, and it would be a little hasty. What if Liang Xiao wanted to kill me...

Tie Huali stared at Liang Xiao for a while. "Is the messenger kidding?"

"Aren't the general doubting my combat power? I'm willing to give the general a chance to experience it personally. Don't worry, General, I won't shoot you like I did in the shooting of Wu Dan." As he said that, Liang Xiao smiled meaningfully, and glanced at Tie Huali's lower body intentionally or unintentionally.

Tie Huali suddenly felt his crotch tightening, as if his life was being grabbed. He heard Zhen'an say that Wu Dan was shot by Liang Xiao and had become a useless person. Of course, he didn't know that Liang Xiao was accidentally shot by Wu Dan, but he just thought that Liang Xiao deliberately wanted to make Wu Dan's life worse than death. At this moment, Liang Xiao's eyes were cold, which made him shudder.

What can the five or six thousand Yuezhi people come and go freely among the ten thousand Huns and severely damage Wudan?

"The messenger... is really good at joking. I just want to see the messenger's martial arts, but I have no intention of meeting the messenger in life and death." Tie Huali was frustrated and did not dare to joke with Liang Xiao anymore. If this young man really fought with him, that would be bad. "Besides, the two countries are fighting and the visitors are not yet killed. The Han Dynasty and Yuezhi are allied countries, how can they meet with each other? I just want to..."

"General, do you want to see the bow." Liang Xiao waved. Sigma came over and handed over the black bow. Liang Xiao took the bow in his hand and opened it three times in a row. He was relaxed and free, his face was not red, and he was not angry. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he set the bow three times, aiming at Tie Huali at Tie Huali, although he did not get an arrow. His murderous aura was not weak at all. The first time he opened the bow, it made Tie Huali feel like he pointed the arrow at the throat.

Tie Huali quickly changed his gaze and looked at the black bow. "Is this the legendary human bow? I have heard of it for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen it. I wonder if the messenger can let me touch it with my own hands."

"Yes, as long as the general can beat me with the arrow."

"What does the messenger mean?" Faced with Liang Xiao's step-by-step pressing, Tie Huali finally couldn't help but his anger, lowered his face and said sternly: "I asked with kind words, but the messenger spoke ill of evil words. Is this the reason why you Han people are visiting?"

"The master is like a wolf. How can you ask the guest to be like a sheep? When treating friends, when using wine or a wolf, you can only use swords and swords." Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and stared at Tie Huali without hesitation. "General, do you think... is this the reason?"

Tie Huali's face was red and he was ashamed of himself.

Although the Yuezhi people were nomadic people, they never thought they were barbarians. Sixty or seventy years ago, the Yuezhi people were still the overlord of the grassland, and even the Huns took tribute to them. Although they have fallen, the arrogance of the great power is still there.

A great country naturally needs to have the style of a great country, and being rude is embarrassing. Tie Huali had no intention of making a life-and-death decision with Liang Xiao, but he just wanted to break Liang Xiao's aura so that he would not regard Aliusu as a playboy like Batu. Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao was completely different from the Han people he remembered. Not only did he not give in, but he pressed him step by step, caught him off guard, and forced him into a dead end. He lost his momentum and lost his demeanor.

This is no wonder Tie Huali. The Han people he had contacted before were either merchants or fleeing the people. If he had any requests from him, he would naturally be polite and compromise. He never met a Han man with a background like Liang Xiao. In a hurry, he suffered a loss and was in chaos.

In contrast, Liang Xiao knew much more about him. When he shot Zhen'an's guards, he was afraid that he would escape from the middle of the way, so he informed Tie Huali. Once Tie Huali sent someone to intercept the mountain pass, he could not get out of the valley at all. He was in a dilemma and could not be as tough as he is now. Even if Tie Huali left, he could still go east and go straight to Aliusu to argue.

Seeing Tie Huali being embarrassed, he no longer had the arrogance he had before entering the tent. Liang Xiao laughed loudly and took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.

"I heard that the general is serious for a long time, so I can't joke. When I saw him today, it was true." Liang Xiao invited him warmly. "Come on, please take your seat. I happened to have some questions to ask the general for advice."

Tie Huali breathed a sigh of relief and said a few humility. Liang Xiao said he was joking now, but he had no intention of joking just now. Instead, he had a disagreement and a possibility of meeting swords and weapons. Tie Huali's back is now full of cold sweats, and he dared not care about Liang Xiao's anything.

The two of them sat down and said a few gossips. Liang Xiao asked about Li Shuyun's time of departure. He felt relieved when he learned that Aliusu personally escorted them to the east. When Batu said he was confident that he would convince Aliusu, he didn't believe it very much. Now it seems that Batu looks heartless, but he is not a fool.

They immediately talked about the Huns. Liang Xiao was a little angry about this matter. It was the end of June and autumn was about to begin. The Huns could launch an attack at any time, but he had not even seen Aliu Su. Judging from Tie Huali's attitude, Aliu Su might not be easy to convince.

Sure enough, as soon as Liang Xiao spoke, Tie Huali interrupted him.

"This is too risky. In the last year's battle, although our troops grew rapidly, they were not harmonious with each other. There was still some possibility to deal with the Wusun people, and the Hun army..." Tie Huali shook his head repeatedly. "It's not that I destroyed my prestige and developed the ambition of others. There is really a huge gap in strength and there is no possibility of victory. The prince will never agree."

Liang Xiao's heart sank. Zhen'an is Aliu's confidant, and Tie Huali is the chief general trusted by Aliu's. The two of them have the same opinion, which shows that what they are saying is the fact. It is probably difficult to make Aliu's main force attract the main force of the Huns and rush to the front as cannon fodder.

This may be an unfinished task at all.

The emperor sat in the hall, scratching his eyebrows, thinking hard.

Guo Sheren stood aside, holding his breath, afraid of disturbing the emperor's thinking. The emperor was in a bad mood today, as if he had lost something, but he couldn't think of anything.

The sound of Huan Pei was remembered outside the hall. Empress Chen Ajiao, accompanied by a group of palace maids, walked over gracefully. Seeing the emperor like this, Chen Ajiao laughed softly, waved her hand to signal the palace maids to stay outside the hall, walked into the hall alone, leaned beside the emperor, and gently pushed him.

"What do county magistrates think?"

"Oh." The emperor woke up from a dream. "Giao, why are you here?"

"I got a new essay and thought it was good, so I wanted to come and give it to the county magistrate." Chen Ajiao took out a silk book from her sleeve and happily stuffed it into the emperor's hand. "The county magistrate's article is better than me, please help me see if it's really good."

"Which fu family belongs to? If you want to discuss fu..." The emperor was stunned and turned to look at Guo Sheren. "By the way, I finally remembered it. Where is Dongfang Shuo? I haven't seen him for many days, where has he been?"

"Dongfang Shuo, he resigned and traveled. I heard he was going to the Western Regions."

"Western Regions?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. "I'm afraid that it's not as simple as traveling to the Western Regions at this time?"

"Not that." Guo Sheren smiled and said, "I heard that when Liang Xiao was in Chang'an, they were neighbors and had a good relationship. The car he was in was sent by Liang Xiao. Now that Liang Xiao has made contributions in the Western Regions, he is probably jealous and follows him."

The emperor tilted his mouth and didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little gloomy. The people of the Western Regions went to Dayuan in the west, and he could only watch Liang Xiao being destroyed by the Huns. This feeling was very bad. When he was helpless, Dongfang Shuo resigned from his post and rushed to the Western Regions, which made him feel even more incompetent.

The dignified emperor is not as comfortable as a Dongfang Shuo, so he is so depressed.

Chen Ajiao came with pleasure, but was left by the emperor and her mood suddenly became worse. She said angrily: "The county magistrate is really busy with government affairs, and she doesn't even know if Dongfang Shuo is missing?"

The emperor was unhappy, but he couldn't have an attack. His eyes rolled and he said in a harmonious voice: "Giao, I heard that the grandmaster Liang Xiao's mother, Mama Liang, asked me last time, did you ask what did you ask?"

"What can I ask? Mama Liang was originally a girl from Zhao. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and wanted to enter the Liang Palace. Unfortunately, she was not qualified enough. Later, she went to Jiangdu and became a weaver lady."

"That's all?"

"That's all." Chen Ajiao gave the emperor a blank look. "What else does the county magistrate want to know? I'll go and ask for you again."

"Then... what is the Empress Dowager's impression of Liang Xiao?"

"The Empress Dowager? Ha!" Chen Ajiao smiled exaggeratedly. "The Empress Dowager now only remembers the matters related to King Liang, and everything else is confused. She doesn't care who Liang Xiao is."

The emperor smiled, hugged Chen Ajiao's shoulder, and helped her sit aside. The smile on his face became brighter and there was a little more begging. "Giao, there is something I don't know what to do. How about you help me with the staff?"

Chen Ajiao looked at the emperor in surprise and was overjoyed. It was the first time that the emperor asked her for advice after being the queen for so long. She held the emperor's hand and said without hesitation: "What's the matter? Tell me. As long as I can help you, I will definitely help."

"That... I have a hawk, a very good hawk. This hawk can help me catch rabbits and drive jackals. Now, this hawk has been targeted by a pack of wolves because it has caught too much prey. Do you think I should save him?"

"Of course I should have saved it. Isn't it a pity that such a good eagle was bitten to death by a wolf?" Chen Ajiao suddenly shouted. "The eagle you are talking about is Liang Xiao, right? Why, he is in danger?"

"Yes, he was targeted by the Huns." The emperor held Guan Chen Ajiao's hand. "Ajiao, do you know why it was so peaceful last winter? It was because Liang Xiao shot and killed the Huns' Hunxie King and son, and attracted the Huns to the Western Regions. He was a hero of the court."

Chen Ajiao rolled her eyes and clapped her hands and smiled, "I understand. You want to send troops, but you are afraid that the Empress Dowager will not be sure, right?"

The emperor nodded awkwardly.

"I can tell you for your sake. But if it is done, how can you thank me for your eagle?"

"As long as you can say it, I will thank you whatever you want me to thank you."

Chen Ajiao was overjoyed, rolled up her sleeves and showed her small palm. "Okay, a gentleman's word..."

The emperor blinked, hesitated for a moment, raised his palm and slapped Chen Ajiao twice. "It's hard to chase after all."—
