Chapter 639 Joy and Worry
The Right Xian King pursued all the way at his own pace. It was noon when he arrived at the Wild Wolf Valley. It was here that he received news from Lie Jiaomi: Lie Jiaomi was in Baigu and was sending messengers to summon the remnants. When the Wusun people nearby heard the news, they rushed to Baigu to meet.
When the King of Youxian heard the news, he immediately stopped moving forward and sent someone to Baigu to contact Lie Jiaomi and asked about the specific situation. The battle was a bit inexplicable and very different from the original plan. He had to ask the reason clearly.
In the evening, Lie Jiaomi led his personal guards to the camp of the Youxian King. As soon as he entered the tent, he bowed to the Youxian King.
"Thank you for helping you."
A smug smile flashed across the corner of the mouth of the Right Xianwang. He stood up from his seat, caught up with two steps, helped Lie Jiaomi up, and led him to the seat beside him. While arranging people to prepare for singing, dancing, wine and meat, he said with concern: "Kunmo, what's going on?"
Lie Jiaomi felt bitter. What's going on? It's because I heard that Liang Xiao was going west, and I was worried that he would attack you at night, so I had to rush to march here. I didn't expect that Liang Xiao's target was not you, but me, and I suffered a big loss.
This is the truth, but Lie Jiaomi couldn't say. Why did the Youxian King stop here instead of rushing to Baigu to join him? It seems cautious, but in fact it has already become suspicious. The Youxian King walked all the way from the west, and there must be many Wusun remnants who have joined him. Now he has raised a battle flag in Baigu to recruit the remnants. Whether these people are going or staying, the Youxian King cannot ignore it.
The Huns were wolfs, and how could they spit out the flesh in their mouths? If he did not give Youxian King a guarantee, Youxian King would not continue moving forward. He would sit down and watch him be defeated or even killed by Liang Xiao again, and then legitimately gathered the Wusun people, occupied the Yili River Valley, and even Chigu City.
This is also the reason why Liang Xiao was willing to give him another chance. Lie Jiaomi guessed Liang Xiao’s intention, and of course he could not easily break up with the Right Xian King. The most important thing at the moment is to kill Liang Xiao and drive away the Han people. As long as the request of the Right Xian King was not excessive, he could satisfy him. After receiving the news from the Right Xian King, he came to see him as soon as possible, to show his obedience.
At this time, how could he ask the Right King for credit and say that he had fallen into the trap to save him?
"I was foolish and was attacked by Liang Xiao's tricks and attacked by him. If the king had not come to save me, I would have died. The Huns had the grace of recreation for me. Shanyu was in front and the king was behind. I dare not forget it. I must do my best to cooperate with the king."
The Right Xian King was very satisfied. "How many people do you have now?"
"The news just spread, and more than 3,000 people were gathered. Waiting for two more days, it should be more than 10,000 people." Liejiaomi paused and lowered his voice. "It's just that the food, grass, cattle, and sheep were all lost. Please help the king."
The King of Youxian laughed loudly. After laughing twice, he felt it was not suitable. He quickly stopped his smile, coughed twice, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, since I am here to help you, how can I not save you? However, I came in a hurry and brought limited cattle and sheep. If you only have more than 10,000 people, I can barely provide it. No matter how many you have, you will be powerless."
"Please rest assured, not too much." Liejiaomi came from it. Forty thousand troops attacked, defeated in succession, and lost nearly half of them. Now they are about to be killed by the Right Xian King, and only 10,000 remaining defeated soldiers and generals are left. Even if this battle is won, Wusun will be greatly damaged. It is expected that the Right Xian King will take advantage of the situation to rob. "This is the foundation of my Wusun country. Please give me the power of regeneration."
The King of Youxian held the wine glass and nodded with satisfaction. "Kunmo is a rare hero. Even the old Shanyu admires you. Now that he has suffered setbacks, he doesn't have to be too sad. With my Xiongnu helping you, you can do it again. When your Wusun was destroyed by the Yuezhi country, you can start over again, but now you have been defeated for a while and your foundation is there, what are you going to worry about?"
"Thank you, the king." Lie Jiaomi burst into tears, and his heart became even more bitter.
The Youxian King held a banquet, and was shocked by the hunting Jiaomi. In addition to the Hun generals, there were many Wusun generals who had just joined the Youxian King. Seeing that the Huns were there, it was a bit unnatural. The Huns were very generous. Not only did he not blame these generals, but he was grateful to them for their preservation of their strength and encouraged them to work hard under the Youxian King's tent.
Lie Jiaomi performed well, and the Right Xianwang was very happy. He discussed with Lie Jiaomi what to do next. Considering that Wusun was newly defeated and his morale was gone, he decided to go on the battlefield in person, chase Liang Xiao, and leave Lie Jiaomi to recruit the remaining troops in Baigu to adjust his morale.
Liejiaomi was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
After Liang Xiao answered Ashana, he walked quickly.
On the way, they met the Wusun people many times, but the Wusun people were already in chaos. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. Facing the high-spirited coalition forces, they did not dare to come forward to fight, and most of them avoided far away. Even if someone mustered up the courage to block the way Liang Xiao and others, they would not be able to hold on in front of the Great Xia Jiaqi for long.
Although there were blockages in front and pursuers behind, the blockages were vulnerable and the pursuers did not appear for a long time, and Liang Xiao walked very easily along the way.
Two days later, he arrived at the Narati grassland.
Nalati Grassland is named after the Nalati Mountains on the south side of the grassland, a mountain that looks like a hump. In the language of Sai people, Nalati means hump. For the Ili River Valley, Nalati Grassland is the easternmost end, but for the entire terrain, there are more than 200 miles of valleys eastward, but these valleys are relatively high at altitude and less rain, which is far less conditions as the Ili River Valley. It is winter again, and the weather is cold, so few people are willing to go.
Because the war in the western section of the river valley was fierce, in order to win, Hujiaomi not only forced a lot of cattle, sheep, food and grass, but also forced Sai people to make meat shields. When he heard the news, the Sai tribes migrated and avoided them, and most of them gathered in the Nalati grassland. The Nalati grassland was full of people, with tents and people everywhere, and had never been so lively.
The arrival of Liang Xiao and others not only made the Nalati grassland more lively, but also brought a lot of uneasiness.
Liang Xiao came, and the Huns would come, and the last peaceful place of the Lati Grassland could not be calm anymore.
When Liang Xiao and others passed through the last canyon and entered the grassland, Liang Xiao felt this uneasiness. He was not surprised that when he decided to come to the Nalati grassland, he knew that such a situation would be encountered. As soon as the army set off a tent, he sent someone to invite the leaders of each tribe to discuss matters.
Just as Liang Xiao was thinking about how to negotiate with the tribe leaders, Sebas got into the account.
"June."
Liang Xiao looked up and smiled. "Sebas, how are you?"
"Junhou, I'm fine. Junhou, I've got into battle and shot two Wusun people."
"Is that so? Come, let me take a good look, are you injured?"
"No, how could I get hurt?" Sebas said proudly: "One is seventy steps away, one arrow penetrates the throat, and the other is about thirty steps. I shot through a centurion's iron armor, in the center."
Liang Xiao frowned. "Thirty steps? Sebas, why are you not obedient? With your current shooting skills, thirty steps are too close. Once you can't shoot, it will be very dangerous. Also, have you encountered the main force of the Wusun people?"
"No, it's the Wusun scout team." Although Sebas was criticized, he was not angry at all, but instead showed a little proud. From Liang Xiao and Luo Xuli to every ordinary guard, he was very fond of these teenagers. Liang Xiao criticized him because he was worried about him. "I was lurking on the roadside and wanted to wait for them to pass, but I didn't expect that they not only snatched things, but also snatched people. I couldn't help but take action."
"It turned out to be to save people." Liang Xiao touched Sebas' head. "Have you improved your art recently? Have you insisted on practicing?"
"Of course I persist. I have to practice 300 arrows every day and guide the technique at night." Sebas raised his dirty little face. "June, when will the princess come?"
"The princess is still in the canyon and can't come for the time being. What's wrong? Do you miss her?"
"Yes, I miss her." Sebas scratched his head. "Also, I have a friend who has wanted to see her for a long time and is nagging in my ears every day. Seeing Junhou coming, I thought the princess was coming with me too."
"Your friend?"
"June, wait." Sebas turned around and ran out. After a while, he pulled a little girl in.
The little girl was about the same age as Sebas. She wore gold and silver jewelry and two brightly colored silk clothes were lined with her leather robe. Her face was slightly black and her face was flushed. Standing in front of Liang Xiao, she stole her hands and hid behind Sebas, and kept glanced at Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing and squeezed his eyes at Sebas. "Your girlfriend?"
Sebas squinted his eyes with a smile and pulled the little girl to Liang Xiao. "Alice, you always want to see what the Arrow God looks like, he is the Arrow God. Look, he is pretty, not fierce at all, right?"
The little girl Alice nodded repeatedly but didn't say anything.
"What, am I very fierce?" Liang Xiao blinked his eyes and was in a good mood.
"June, you don't know. Now all tribes are spreading your story, but they say you have three heads and six arms, like a monster. I said you are not a monster, and they don't believe it, saying that if it is not a monster, how could you shoot Tianlang? Alice doesn't believe it, so I brought her. Alice, open your eyes wide and see, is the Arrow God a monster? He is clearly a great hero."
Looking at Sebas's pride and Alice's relief, Liang Xiao smiled and felt a sense of indescribable pride in his heart. It was not because Sebas was afraid of him and even regarded him as a non-human, but was excited that Sebas spared no effort to whitewash him. Sebas was a child, without much fun, and his reaction was the most real reaction.
This is enough to show that his previous handling of the stuffed man was correct.
"Alice? You are so beautiful, which tribe is the princess of which tribe?"
Alice blushed, shook her head repeatedly, and her braided hair shook like a small tail.
"June, Alice's father is a tribal leader, but their tribe is not big, and it is only more than 300."
"Where do your tribe usually grazed?" Liang Xiao squatted down and pointed to the silk handkerchief that Alice held in his hand. "I guess you should be in Beishan. Your father is a famous warrior, right?"
Alice opened her eyes wide, blurted out and said in a Squirrel. "How do you know?"
Liang Xiao smiled. Few Han merchants entered the Yili River Valley. Silk is a rare thing here. A small tribe with more than 300 falls should have silk, so it should be close to the Silk Road. If a small tribe dares to be so arrogant and does not hide its wealth at all, the leader of this tribe must be a powerful person, otherwise he would have been destroyed long ago.
"I just said, Junhou is not an ordinary person, do you believe it now?" Sebass was even more proud and his face turned red.
Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "The princess has not come, but as long as you follow Sebas, you will definitely see the princess. You are so beautiful, I believe the princess will definitely like you very much. Then go to Dayuan with Sebas to play, okay?"
"Is it really OK?" Alice was surprised and delighted.
"Of course." Sebas rushed to say: "The princess is good to us. She wants us to accompany Hannibal forever and fight with him in the future. If you are willing, you can also be a female warrior. Didn't you see a lot of female warriors just now? They are all warriors around the princess."
Little stars popped up in Alice's eyes.
Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. Although Sebas's shooting skills are good, the fastest he has grown is the skill of picking up girls. The personal guards around him are all experts in flower circles. Under their influence, Sebas is getting further and further on the road of Love Saint.
He was talking with the two little guys in a lively manner, and the guards came to report that the leaders of each tribe had arrived. Should they invite them in? Liang Xiao said, "It's better to go outside the tent, it's more spacious. Sebas, Alice, go out with me."
Sebas was unsuccessful, but Alice was a little embarrassed. Sebas grabbed him and pulled out of the tent. Before Liang Xiao could leave the tent, he heard a scream. "Alice, why are you here?"
Liang Xiao left the tent and saw a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and bearded rushed over, picked up Alice, and glared at Sebas fiercely. "You little devil, you lied to me again."
"Bather, he didn't lie to me. He brought me to see Lord Arrow God. Dad, I saw Lord Arrow God."
The man was shocked. "Sebas, your courage is getting bigger and bigger. How can you bring my Alice to see Lord Arrow God? What if Lord Arrow God?" The man said halfway, and saw Liang Xiao coming out of the tent, he quickly closed his mouth.
Liang Xiao walked over with a smile and said in Squirrel: "What if I eat your daughter, right?"
"you"
"I'm the monster with three heads and six arms in your mouth. However, with the beauty present, I put away all the extra heads and arms. Do you want me to show you?"
The man was embarrassed and quickly put down Alice and bowed to salute. "Tuxise, I have seen Lord Arrow God."
Everyone was a little nervous at first, but seeing that Liang Xiao was not only not three heads and six arms, he was also a very heroic and handsome young man with a very kind attitude. When the tension in his heart disappeared, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and they all saluted and reported their names.
Liang Xiao answered one by one and had a great time talking.
