Chapter 009: Be Careful
After reading the announcement, Liang Xiao quickly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and when he returned to Qingyun, it was already noon.
Tu Niuer was going to visit this master who could teach Liang Xiao's archery skills, but was stopped by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao repeatedly advised him not to mention it in front of others. Tu Niuer was annoyed by the words, and bull's eyes turned and said annoyedly: "A Xiao, don't you treat me as a brother?"
"No, I just let you speak tighter and don't talk nonsense."
"I'm like a random talker?" Tu Niuer's face turned red.
Liang Xiao stared at Tu Niuer for a long time, nodded vigorously: "Like."
"Break up friendship!" Tu Niuer roared in anger, turned around and left.
Liang Xiao laughed and didn't chase him. He went home on his own. He had been dating Tu Niuer for so many years and had said that he had broken up countless times, but never for more than one day. Maybe half an hour later, Tu Niuer would come to him.
When she walked into the house, Liang Xiao went to the west wing to take a look. As usual, her mother, Mama Liang, was busy in front of the loom. When she heard Liang Xiao's footsteps, she looked up and lowered her head to continue to work.
"The rice is in the pot and the soup is on the stove, eat it yourself."
"Mother, have you eaten?" Liang Xiao leaned over to the loom, looked at the sweat beads on his mother's forehead, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"I've eaten." Seeing that his son's eyes were strange, Mama Liang couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing." Liang Xiao scratched his head. "That... I met Hu Lai again today, and fought again." He said the incident of Hu Lai in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and finally said: "Mother, I... am in trouble again."
Mama Liang stopped the loom, glanced at Liang Xiao, and frowned slightly. "You are not doing this properly. How can you protect yourself in front of so many people? It is inevitable that someone will see the flaws. If you really want to take revenge, you will challenge him with integrity. It is not embarrassing to lose. If you win by chance, he has nothing to say."
Liang Xiao rolled his eyes. I am worthy of being a single mother, and this kind of heroism is no worse than that of a man.
"I understand." Liang Xiao originally wanted to say that I would challenge him now, but when he said to his mouth, he said, "I will practice arrows well and then challenge him."
"Well, he looks like a husband." Mama Liang nodded with satisfaction and became busy again.
Liang Xiao left the west wing and felt very heavy when he listened to the clanging sound of the loom behind him. Although I spoke easily, he knew that all this was based on the situation of being decent. Once the being dissatisfied and using the power of the Hu family to deal with him, the mother and son were like an ant facing a giant beast, without any ability to resist.
I was impulsive just now and only took care of the moment, but I didn't expect how serious the consequences were.
Liang Xiao stood in the corridor for a while, then walked into the east wing. Prisoner Huan Jun was sitting under the window, rubbing his legs gently, and a single-eyed eye staring at Liang Xiao with a faint expression. "What did you know?"
Liang Xiao did not say anything, sat down on the mat opposite him, saluted respectfully, and told the story again, and finally said: "Return to Huan Jun, there is no such person as Huan Sheng in the stone. I am really ashamed of letting Huan Jun down."
The prisoner looked at his palm and said lightly: "As you said this, are you ready to give up?"
"Yes." Liang Xiao turned his head, looked at the west wing room, and pondered for a moment: "I have never known each other for Huan Jun. I am a little overestimated by the ability to shoot Huan Jun. Guangling City has hidden dragons and crunched tigers, and fish and dragons are mixed. I am just a civilian. I can't afford to play such a game, so it's better to retreat."
The prisoner nodded. "What you said makes sense. Wealth and honor are indeed not suitable for everyone."
Liang Xiao bowed again, got up and left the seat, and was about to leave when the prisoner called him.
"Come here," said the prisoner, stretching his left arm as if holding a bow. "Touch my shoulder."
Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Huan, I will not receive any reward without merit, so I will not dare to accept it." He said far away, bowed to the end, retreated, and brought it to the door.
The prisoner did not move, watching Liang Xiao leave, his lips tilted, and a smile flashed and disappeared.
Outside the door, a smile flashed from the corner of Liang Xiao's mouth, and then he returned to calm. He walked into the kitchen with steady steps, took off the food from the stove and started eating.
After dinner, Liang Xiao walked into the west wing room, sat next to the loom, and continued to practice his eyesight. Liang Magazine felt strange. She looked at Liang Xiao several times, but said nothing, and was busy on her own.
The mother and son were all busy until late at night. After Mama Liang finished weaving brocade, he raised his hand and gently tapped his sore shoulders. Liang Xiao quickly stood up and stood behind Mama Liang. "Mother, I'll help you pinch it."
Liang Mama raised her eyebrows: "Why didn't you practice arrows, but learned this kind of craft of serving people?"
"My mother, sharpening a knife will not stop chopping wood. It's not time to practice arrows yet, so it's useless to practice it. Although massage is a skill of serving people, what's so embarrassing for your son to serve his mother? Lao Laizi was in his seventies and was still entertaining his relatives with colorful clothes."
"What's this story?" Liang Mama asked in surprise: "Xiao'er, what does the relationship between Lao Laizi and I'm talking about? Also, why have I never heard of these stories where you heard them?"
Liang Xiao was sweating profusely and accidentally exposed his feet again.
Liang Xiao spent some time and covered up Lao Laizi's story. He returned to his residence, washed up, took off his clothes and went to bed, but did not sleep. He pricked up his ears and listened to every move outside.
After a while, he suddenly heard the window of the east wing room ringing twice, and then the sound of prisoner Huan Jun tapping the ground sounded. Then, the door of the wing room creaked and calmed down again.
Liang Xiao wanted to get up and take a look, but he didn't move.
He could roughly guess who the person was, and he knew very well that these two people were not ordinary people, and with their own abilities, they could not hide their eyes and ears. Instead of doing this, it would be better to use static to control them and see what they were doing, and it would not be too late to make trouble.
After he came out of the stone, he turned back to ask Li Zheng about the amnesty, but he was not talking nonsense. When he mentioned the name Huan Sheng, Li Zheng's expression was very suspicious. He should have known Huan Sheng, and knew that Huan Sheng was not in the stone, and even Huan Sheng was not nearby, so he asked him to go to the nearby to inquire.
Since he knew Huan Sheng, he must also know the prisoner. When he heard the news of the amnesty, he would not have come to check it out. Liang Xiao’s purpose was to lead him here to see what important person this prisoner, Huan Jun, was. If it was too dangerous, he would rather stay away from it so as not to catch a fire in the city gate and his little fish would suffer.
