Liang Xiao jumped into the backyard, and the lights lit up in the west wing. With a light sound, the door opened and a dim light leaked out.

"A Xiao, is it you?"

"Why are you not sleeping yet?" Liang Xiao walked over quickly and closed the door. Li Rongqing was dressed neatly, obviously not going to bed, and was waiting for Liang Xiao to come back. Mama Liang sat on the bed with her clothes, half-closing her eyes, resting.

"You are hungry, I'll go get you some food." Li Rongqing pushed the door open and left.

Liang Xiao sat beside my mother's bed and licked her lips. "My mother, I've gone to see it. The terrain is flat and there is nowhere to hide. Once surrounded by people, there is almost no chance of escape. The Hu family rides a lot, and two legs can't run four legs."

Mama Liang opened her eyes and glanced at Liang Xiao lightly. "A Xiao, do you think the person the Hu family is Rong Qing? No, the person they are going to kill is you. Before you did not succeed in archery, you can endure it for a while. Now you have achieved a small success in archery. When will you hide? A Xiao, archery is of course important, but if you don't have the courage to take risks, what can you do if your archery is good?"

Liang Xiao frowned. He didn't know why I was so persistent. It was a bit unkind. No mother forced her son to take risks.

"A Xiao, wealth and honor are in danger. You were not born in a powerful family, you have no inherited the kindness of your ancestors, and you have no brothers to help you. What opportunities do you have besides taking risks? Are you willing to be a farmer like Tu Niuer's father, or are you willing to be a Ranger like Rongqing's father?"

Liang Xiao frowned even more. My mother's words were just a point. If he didn't dare to take risks, there was no way out. Wu Wangchi was dangerous, but wasn't the battlefield dangerous?

"Mother, if I can't kill someone, we may not be able to stay here."

Mama Liang looked at Liang Xiao, reached out to take out a few bamboo pieces from under the mattress. Liang Xiao took it, smiled bitterly, returned the bamboo pieces to my mother, bowed and said, "Since my mother has decided, I have nothing to hesitate. I will prepare now."

"A real man, please do this." Mama Liang nodded with satisfaction.

Liang Xiao pushed the door and returned to his room. Li Rongqing was holding the food and was waiting outside. Seeing Liang Xiao come out, he hurriedly followed.

Liang Xiao entered the door, closed the door, sat by the desk, and started eating without saying a word. Li Rongqing sat aside, leaning on the desk, staring at Liang Xiao without blinking. Liang Xiao glanced at her: "If you want to see it, just look at it a few more times, maybe you won't be able to see it in two days."

"Bao, bah, bah!" Li Rongqing quickly spitted a few times and said with a blushing face: "A Xiao, although you are not as light as other gossipers, you will be convinced and brave. I believe that you can turn bad luck into good fortune, rise all the way, and gain wealth like a mustard."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so good at speaking. No wonder my mother likes you."

"My mother likes me not because I can speak kindly, but because I am kind." Li Rongqing held her cheek and was stunned for a moment. "She looked at me exactly the same as my mother, just like looking at herself. I think she must have suffered a lot when she was young."

Liang Xiao blinked and did not ask again. My mother's past was a taboo, and no one could ask, so she could only wait for her to say it herself.

"You can prepare it. My mother is ready for the road. After tribute to your father, we will start to run away."

"Escape?" Li Rongqing was stunned for a moment. Obviously, she didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Mama Liang even prepared the pass for escape.

"Don't be so nervous. This matter actually has nothing to do with you. The Hu family has always come for me." Liang Xiao shrugged depressedly. "Although I still don't know why."

...

"Escape?" Huan Yuan's eyes flashed. "Where are you going?"

"It's not decided yet, let's talk about escaping from Jiangdu Kingdom."

Huan Yuan pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case, why not go to Jiangnan. The Jiangnan ridge is deep and dense, suitable for hiding, and the people are tough, so the official army refused to enter the mountains to fight easily. Back then, the King of Wu was worried about the customs of the area and established his capital in Guangling. There are many tigers and leopards there, which is suitable for you to learn to shoot."

Liang Xiao's eyes rolled. "Master, you have planned it long ago?"

Huan Yuan was stunned and smiled without saying a word.

"Did the King of Wu and his remaining troops in Jiangnan and dream of counterattacking?"

Huan Yuan's eyes became serious and he stared at Liang Xiao with one eye bright eyes. "How could you know this?"

Liang Xiao did not answer him, but just shook his head. "Master, I don't know what your plan is, nor do you know if you have another purpose in staying in Guangling. But I want to advise you not to have such fantasies. The general trend of unification of the world has been achieved. Even when the King of Wu was there, it is even more impossible for a single remnant to have any result. It has been more than ten years, so why are there any movement..."

"Stop talking." Huan Yuan interrupted Liang Xiao. "Everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force it. Since you don't want to follow me, our master and apprentice's fate will be over. A Xiao, your shooting skills have already been established. As long as you continue to practice, your bow and shooting range will gradually increase, and your ear strength will become stronger and stronger. What level can you reach in the end and whether you can become a real shooting sounder depends on your talent."

Liang Xiao sighed, feeling a little sad. He thought that one day he would part ways with Huan Yuan, but never thought that it would come so quickly or so suddenly. He lay in front of Huan Yuan and kowtowed three times.

...

The next morning, when Liang Xiao got up, Huan Yuan was gone. The door was covered in a hollow and it was clean inside, exactly the same as usual, as if Huan Yuan was still sitting there, passing through the door, ready to listen to Liang Xiao start his daily homework.

After breakfast, Liang Xiao was about to go to find Tu Niuer, but Tu Niuer came first. He told Liang Xiao that his master Zhong Liqi had just sent someone to tell him that from today on, there would be no need to go to Shili to practice martial arts anymore. As for the reason, Zhong Liqi did not say it.

Tu Niuer didn't understand what was going on, so he came to Liang Xiao in a habit.

Liang Xiao knew very well that if Huan Yuan left, Zhongliqi would definitely leave. Whether to go back to Jiangnan to find the remnants of the Wu army, or stay in Guangling, find a place to hide, and continue to act as the remnants of the Wu army, only they know, and they should not ask too much.

"Niu'er, I'm going to go out for a trip. Are you interested?"

"Travel?" Tu Niuer suddenly felt excited. "Where to go, Huainan?"

"I want to go to Chang'an." Liang Xiao patted Tu Niu'er on the shoulder. "I want to go to Chang'an to find an opportunity. If you are willing to go with me, go home to clean up. You don't have to worry about travel expenses, my mother is ready."

"Your mother is leaving, too?"

"Our family is leaving. But it's a secret, you can't tell anyone. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave."

"Sure, certain." Tu Niuer's chest slapped loudly.
