That's right, that thing is indeed a sharpshooter.Liang Xiao reached out and pressed Paris's right shoulder."
You try another arrow."
Paris raised the bow in his middle hand, hooked the string with his left hand, and his shoulders were raised, just about to exert force, Liang Xiao pinched it hard.Paris screamed "sigh", dodged and jumped away, looking at Liang Xiao angrily.Liang Xiao didn't speak, reached out and took the bow from Paris's hand, squatted down, patted his left shoulder, and motioned for Paris to press on his shoulder.Paris didn't know what he meant, but he put his hand on it anyway.Liang Xiao pulled his bow and released the arrows in a kneeling position, shooting five arrows in a row, and the five arrows flew thirty paces away, almost shooting in the same place, like a peacock opening the screen.Paris was stunned, surprised and delighted."
Got it," Liang Xiao pointed to his shoulder.Paris blinked, thoughtful.Liang Xiao returned the bow to him and walked away slowly.Paris scratched his head and tried twice, but he couldn't control his shoulders from rising habitually, and the more he shot, the more chaotic he became, and he could barely take his bow.Old Andrew stood in front of the packed carriage, looked at Liang Xiao who was walking slowly, bowed, and said a few words.Guo Wenbin translated: "My lord, Old Man Andrew thanks you for teaching Paris archery, he said that Paris was born to like archery, but unfortunately no one has taught him. ”"Why didn't he teach," Liang Xiao said, "he should have been a warrior." ”"He was a warrior, but he was a foot soldier, not an archer.In Dawan's army.Only barbarians would be archers. ”Liang Xiao was surprised.With the help of Guo Wenbin's translation.He talked to old Andrew.I had the opportunity to talk about my fighting career as a young man.Old Andrew was excited.He put on the carriage, invited Liang Xiao to sit beside him, and talked happily as he changed the scene.This is said for most of the day.After listening to old Andrew's recollections, Liang Xiao knew that Dawan was originally part of the Kingdom of Bactria, which in turn was part of the Seleucid Dynasty, and there were many descendants of Greek soldiers like him.And the status is very high.When he was in his thirties, a group of barbarians came from the east, and they conquered the fertile land between the two rivers, separating Dawan and Bactria, and becoming two nations.Old Andrew was impressed by those savages.He was wounded in battle against the barbarians, and from then on he left the army and became a herdsman.However, in addition to regrets, he feels that he is still lucky.The barbarians occupied the Land of the Riverlands, and the kingdom of Bactria launched several counterattacks.The losses were heavy, and many of his comrades-in-arms were killed in the battle.Scalped off by barbarians.Listening to old Andrew's emotion, Liang Xiao and Guo Wenbin carefully analyzed it again.According to Liang Xiao's own understanding, there should be both Cypriots and Yueshi people, and the Cypriots were driven by the Yueshi people, and the Cypriots beat Batkeria and abandoned their armor and occupied the middle of the river, while the Yueshi people Huang Que was behind, and the Cypriots lost their armor and continued to flee south.The attack of the Xiongnu on the Yueshi was like a tsunami, one advancing westward, changing the pattern of Central Asia.Of course, this is just the beginning.It won't be long before the Huns, the origins of the tsunami, will also be defeated by the Han and migrate westward, triggering an even larger tsunami until it affects the entire western pattern.This world is where big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat them.If you don't have strength, you can only be bullied.While Liang Xiao was listening to old Andrew's story, Paris was riding on horseback and was constantly trying to figure out how to open the bow.He practiced for a long time, but he didn't find the trick, and he was very frustrated.I wanted to come over and ask, but I was embarrassed, and I kept spinning around in the distance on a horse.In the evening, the camp was set up, Andrea made dinner, called him several times, but he did not hear.Annoyed, Andrea ran forward and pulled him off his horse and dragged him in front of Liang Xiao and Andrew.Paris blushed and stood behind Andrea.Andrea shouted wah-wow-wow, old Andrew listened, nodded again and again, turned around and pulled Guo Wenbin aside, and muttered a few words.Guo Wenbin was a little embarrassed, pondered for a moment, nodded, walked over, and said to Liang Xiao in a low voice: "My lord, old Andrew wants to pay for two good horses, please teach Paris a little bit of archery basics."
If the adults think that Paris is okay, he is willing to give Paris to the adults as an attendant and give five of the best horses. ”"What does it mean to be a squire?"
"It's similar to a doorman, but without personal freedom, and closer to a slave." ”"They are proud Greeks, willing to be slaves," Guo Wenbin smiled, with a bit of indescribable pride."
To the Cypriots, to the Yue, they are proud Greeks.But for us Han people, they have no pride to speak of.Not to mention them, the nobles of Dawan are very polite when they see us Han people. ”"Why" "Because we are the land of silk. ”Guo Wenbin's smile was even brighter."
Don't forget, my lord, a horse worth seven hundred yuan can be sold for four or five thousand yuan here, and a horse worth a thousand yuan can be sold for ten thousand yuan here.In their eyes, our Han is simply a fairy country where everyone is clothed and golden. ”Liang Xiao was dumbfounded, this is probably the beauty of distance."
Besides, Paris's best future is only to be in the army, to be an ordinary archer, and to be a nobleman's squire.It's his blessing to be able to follow adults, and if he doesn't want to, he's worried that adults don't look down on him. ”Liang Xiao understood.Even Guo Wenbin, who has a lot of money, wants to touch his light, and Paris can't ask for it.He thought about it."
What do you think of Paris, can you be a qualified squire?"
"Paris is smart and clever, can raise and train horses, and knows a little Chinese, so he should be able to help a little." ”Guo Wenbin lowered his voice."
My lord, although the old Andrew's family is not rich, there are nearly a hundred horses, and there are a few good horses, which is nothing here, and it is a lot of money to bring it to Chang'an."
Liang Xiao glanced at Guo Wenbin.is worthy of being a businessman, this account is really shrewd, and he actually cares about other people's property.However, his words are right, Dawan is rich in good horses, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to start a war for Dawan's horses.If you can bring back a few good horses, it is estimated that the round-trip fare will be almost enough."
Don't worry, let's take a look.We don't know much about him, and if we look at the wrong person, won't we be troublesome, and we can't delay him because our future is uncertain now.You tell him that they saved my life, and I can teach him some basic things, and whether he can practice it or not depends on his creation. ”Guo Wenbin nodded, turned around and told Old Andrew again.Old Andrew was very happy and pulled Paris to salute Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao took Paris aside and showed him how to practice opening the bow empty-handed, but did not explain why, and let him practice by himself.Paris was skeptical and walked away a little dazed.Liang Xiao didn't say much.Accepting disciples depends on fate.He is a human being in two lives, so he can calm down and practice shooting, Paris is still a young man, whether he has the patience and understanding, it depends on his creation.Although Liang Xiao did not accept Paris as an attendant, after all, he had the grace of passing on his art, and the old Andrew's family was even more polite and courteous to them.Looking at the smiling family, Liang Xiao secretly sighed and thoughtfully."
It's coming, it's coming."
Li Rongqing put down the rice basket in his hand, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.There was a servant in green clothes standing at the door, and behind the servant was a two-horse carriage.Li Rongqing was a little nervous."
Is there anything wrong with you" "May I ask Madam, is this Liang Xiao Xiaolangjun's mansion" "Yes, yes, you are" "I am Feng Wuai, the house slave of Yanmen Taishou Feng Jun, and I was ordered by Feng Jun to send Liang Jun's concubine back. ”Feng Wuxian said, turned around and walked to the back of the carriage, and opened the door."
Moon Maiden, you can come down."
In Li Rongqing's surprised gaze, a girl with fair skin, a round face, and a little puffy looked walked down, glanced at Li Rongqing, a blush flew on her face, and she glanced at Feng Wuxian for help.Feng Wuxian smiled: "Moon girl, don't be nervous, from now on, this is your home."
As long as you serve your aunt, you will not suffer. ”The moon nodded again and again, walked up to Li Rongqing, gave a timid salute, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly covered his mouth and rushed to the side, retching for a while, but nothing spit out except a puddle of clear water.Li Rongqing's face changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support her."
You're pregnant" Moon blushed and nodded.Li Rongqing suddenly had mixed feelings, but she didn't want to say anything, so she hurriedly invited Moon and Feng Wuxian into the door, and invited Liang Yuan out.After listening to Feng Wuxi's explanation, Liang Yuan looked at the moon and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.She didn't say anything, and asked Li Rongqing to take two gold cakes and send Feng Wuzhi out.Feng Wuxian happily went.This errand is very hard, but it is not bad to get a reward of two gold.Li Rongqing returned to the hall, and Liang Yuan was still talking to the moon.Walking from Yanmen Pass to Chang'an, Moon learned a lot of Chinese and could barely talk to Liang Yuan.She told about her life experience, how she was captured by Liang Xiao, and about the white horse with the same name as herself.Liang Yuan listened to it, took pity on it, and asked Li Rongqing to arrange a room in the east wing of the backyard, which was next to Liang Xiao's room.Liang Yuan asked Li Rongqing to invite Tuhuaer over.Hu Xijun is five months pregnant, and most of the housework falls on Li Rongqing, who is already a little too busy, and then adds the moon, Li Rongqing is difficult to support alone, Liang Yuan asked Tuhuaer to come over to help.
