Liang Xiao was loud and sarcastic, with a firm attitude, which was completely different from the humility he had just now.

Liu Che's interest increased greatly, and he was even more moved than seeing the legendary sound shooting skills. He jumped off his horse, walked to Liang Xiao, deliberately sternly, and looked stern. "Liang Xiao, although the court does not prohibit the people from discussing politics, if he slanders the court and makes big statements for fame, it will cause trouble. You should be careful about your words and actions. Wouldn't you hear that illness comes from your mouth and disaster comes from your mouth?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "I just say what I see and what I hear, how dare I speak loudly."

"Oh, let's talk." Liu Che pointed to the horse whip in his hand, and Wei Qing and Zhang Cigong immediately took the seat from the horse's back and spread it on the ground. Liu Che sat down and called Liang Xiao to sit down on the mat opposite. "What did you see and what you heard, let's hear."

Liang Xiao was not humble either. He asked Tu Niuer to pick a few melons, wash and cut them open, and asked Liu Che and others to taste them. While eating melons, he sorted out his ideas and made a draft. If the sound shooting technique allowed Liu Che to see his brave side, then the next suggestions would make Liu Che see his insights, leave a good impression, and distinguish him from ordinary warriors.

However, he cannot go too far. He said too much. One is that it does not match his identity, and the other is that his simple and profound words will make Liu Che doubt it, or think that he is not cunning and likes to show off, and talks a lot to everyone. Maybe he will be favored for a while, but over time, it is difficult to guarantee that he will have a negative effect.

It is far less safe to tell me about it as soon as we meet.

Liang Xiao thought about it and did not say much. He only talked about two things: one was that thieves were rampant in Danyang, Jiangnan, and the other was that the powerful people of Jiangdu had annexed land and arbitrary villages. These two things were experienced by him personally, and it was more credible to say it, and it was consistent with his identity and would not arouse Liu Che's suspicion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he sued the Hu family without hesitation. He pointed at Tu Niuer and said to Liu Che: "Niuer is my childhood playmate. His father worked hard all his life and had to be rewarded by the government's fields. But now, he has no land to cultivate. His family bought the fields at a low price..."

Liu Che listened quietly, without any comments, but his cheeks were bitten a little tightly.

"Who doesn't know the danger of fighting? But it would be a pity to learn martial arts and only use them for hunting. Besides, even if I want to be a farmer safely, I don't have this opportunity. The Han Dynasty was established for 70 years and the world was ruled. But now the rich are all over the country, and the poor are not in a place to stand. I have no way out except to join the army. I can't go to work in a cheap career."

Liu Che talked to Liang Xiao for a long time, heard him talk about the Jiangdu Kingdom, asked about the folk customs of the Jiangdu Kingdom, and also inquired about the people's evaluations of Jiangdu King Liu Fei and Jiangdu Prime Minister Zheng at that time. Liang Xiao praised Zheng without hesitation, and said without any obscurely that he rescued Li Rongqing from the Hu family and escaped from Jiangdu Kingdom.

Liang Xiao was very restrained and did not say too much off-topic to avoid arousing Liu Che's suspicion.

Liu Che sat for a long time and finally invited Liang Xiao to the mansion again. Liang Xiao refused. Liu Che did not say anything else, surrounded by Li Danghu and others, disappeared into the night. When they broke up, Han Yan enthusiastically invited Liang Xiao to fight and had the opportunity to compete with Liang Xiao for riding and shooting.

Farewell to Liu Che and his party, Liang Xiao cleaned up and returned to the melon shed. Li Rong counted the soap and laid the straw mat, and was waiting for Liang Xiao. The soap choked and the eyes were soaked. Li Rongqing was soaked with tears in her eyes, and she kept wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. There was no way, there were too many mosquitoes in the melon shed, and there were no mosquito nets or anything else in this era, so she could only rely on smoke.

Tu Niuer sat aside, holding half a slice of melon, and ate it so well.

"Who was the one who was just now? I talked for so long?"

"Master Pingyang." Liang Xiao explained a few words, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Li Rongqing's eyes, and smiled and said, "We will move soon after holding on for a few more days."

"Why?" Li Rongqing's eyes lit up. "Are you going to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion?"

"I won't go to the little Marquis of Pingyang." Liang Xiao concealed: "Marquis of Pingyang married a princess and was very close to the emperor. If he mentioned me in front of the emperor, wouldn't I be able to rise to the top?"

"Is that true?" Li Rongqing was skeptical.

"What am I lying to you?" Liang Xiao pushed Li Rongqing. "It's getting late, so hurry up and go back to bed. I will clean up with my mother tomorrow and prepare for moving."

Li Rongqing responded and turned around and left.

Liang Xiao sat cross-legged on the straw mat, carefully recalling what had happened just now, confirming that he had not revealed any flaws. When he remembered that Li Danghu used the reason that he had shot fifty steps and insisted on fifty steps as a distance, he smiled and felt a long-lost warmth in his heart. Although he didn't know the reason, he knew Li Danghu's maintenance and encouragement for him and was very grateful.

Tu Niuer was already snoring loudly and slept as deep as a dead pig.

...

Liu Che sat on the horse's back and forth, with the pace of his mount, Li Danghu, Han Yan served him from left to right. Han Yan was dancing and still muttering Liang Xiao's sound shooting skills. Li Danghu didn't say a word, watching the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Wei Qing and others did not dare to neglect them either. They all opened their eyes wide, raised their ears, and paid close attention to every move around them.

"How do you know that this person has sound shooting skills?" Liu Che asked suddenly.

Li Danghu replied slowly: "Zheng wrote a letter to his father at that time, mentioning Liang Xiao's master Huan Yuan. Huan Yuan was a general of the State of Wu back then and once gave a suggestion to the King of Wu to seize Luoyang and Ao Cang, but it was not adopted."

"What happened?" Liu Che was shocked and said for a while: "This person is another Li Zuoche. Fortunately, Liu Bi did not accept it, otherwise it would be Zhou Yafu, even the Marquis of Huaiyin would feel difficult. In this way, Wu Chu's defeat was also God's will."

"What Your Majesty said is exactly." Li Danghu said again: "Huan Yuan was excluded by the veteran because he was young and could not lead the troops. He followed the King of Wu to fight in Changyi. He used his sound shooting skills to shoot and kill many Han generals. Guan Fu's father Guan Meng died under his arrow. The Marquis of Tiao was helpless and ordered his father to come out to fight with Huan Yuan."

Liu Che was excited. "How?"

"My father narrowly won." Li Danghu smiled bitterly: "After many years, my father still remembers this person fresh and calls him a rare enemy in his life. His sound shooting skills are simply amazing and amazing."

"How about Liang Xiao's sound shooting skills?"

"He was just getting started." Li Danghu paused and said, "However, Liang Xiao has only been a year of shooting, and his progress is amazing. In time, this person's realm may be above Huan Yuan."

Liu Che raised his eyebrows and laughed silently. "It's hard to say about archery, but there is at least one thing that Huan Yuan can't reach."

Li Danghu is puzzled.

"He will not be as clear as Huan Yuan in archery art or as secretly as he knows people, otherwise he will not refuse the recruitment of the Huainan Prince's Mansion. Although this person is young, he knows big things and has his own opinions. Just like he shoots an arrow, he is focused and has clear goals." Liu Che pondered for a moment and said, "Among the masters, in a few days, you will lead him to see General Li and ask General Li to train him to train him."

"Yi!" Li Danghu bowed and replied.
