The first epistle was, of course, to the Son of Heaven.He reported in detail his itinerary, the information he learned, and emphasized the reason why he did not go back for the time being, hoping to get the support of the Son of Heaven.In particular, after the battle, he carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Xiongnu and Wusun people, and suggested that the Son of Heaven should strengthen the construction of cavalry and reform the existing military system in order to effectively deal with future wars with the Huns.The second letter was to the old lady.is so far away from home, you have to report safety, so that the old lady can rest assured.In this letter, the things that were born and died cannot be said, but only that everything is safe and everything is going well.The third letter is to Dongfang Shuo.Of the more than 400 camels, three belonged to him, and in addition to the seeds of various crops, he painstakingly collected Greek texts, some originals and some manuscripts.These texts were prepared for Dongfang Shuo.He didn't have the energy, nor did he plan to translate, so he only gave a general description of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains west of the Green Ridge in the letter, which he believed could arouse Dongfang Shuo's curiosity.Liang Xiao originally wanted to write a letter to Liu Ling, but after thinking about it, he finally forgot it, and only sandwiched a page in the letter to his mother.However, he chose a book for Liu Ling: the original manuscript of Euclid.The book was found in the palace of the Dawan king, lying in the corner, no one cared about it.However, he spent a lot of effort to translate a volume with the help of Alpha, and hand-painted the illustrations in it, believing that Liu Ling would like this gift.He wanted to translate all thirteen volumes, but his time and energy were limited, so he had to talk about it later.It's done, Liang Xiao is very satisfied.Although his calligraphy is very ordinary, it is neat but impeccable, one stroke at a time, just like the action of archery, the pen is in place, and it is as neat as carving.There is absolutely nothing to say about the overall effect.Thea walked in."
Master, a guest is coming.""
There are still guests at this time" Liang Xiao looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.He put down his pen and rubbed his hands together."
Who, if it doesn't matter.Just say I'm asleep" Xia didn't speak, Liang Xiao raised his head in surprise, but saw a delicate figure standing at the door, it was Dawan Mingzhu, Princess Luo Xuli.Liang Xiao was taken aback.Hurriedly stood up, walked up quickly, and bowed."
Princess, why are you here" "Can't I come" Luo Xuli walked in, unbuttoned her cloak, and handed it to Thea, revealing a well-cut brocade robe that glittered in the firelight.She glanced at Liang Xiao and smiled."
I heard that you have been very busy in the past two days, and you have been injured by drinking," Liang Xiao smiled awkwardly.It's a bad feeling to have four little agents around here.I can't hide anything."
Dawan Junchen is too enthusiastic, and he is indeed a little overwhelmed.""
You defeated the Huns and Wusun and defended Dawan, thank you as you should."
Luo Xuli walked to the bookcase, glanced at the letter that Liang Xiao had just written, and then looked at the original translation, her eyes flashed slightly."
I'm going to give it to that princess" Liang Xiao looked at Luo Xuli in surprise, you can see it, "You are really attentive to her." ”Luo Xuli sighed lightly: "Do you want to go west, is it for her" "Why did the princess say that" "I heard that the place with the largest collection of books in the world is the library in Alexandria. ”Luo Xuli turned around.With his back to the bookcase, his eyes lit up."
Can you take me there" Liang Xiao was startled and shook his head again and again."
Princess, don't be kidding.You are a daughter.How can you travel thousands of miles.In case something happens, who can afford to take the responsibility. ”He thought for a while, and then said: "If it is someone else, you can still mix in the crowd, the princess is bright and beautiful, and her temperament is noble."
At first glance, you know that you are absolutely a person, but you can't hide it. ”"Poof" Luo Xuli couldn't help laughing.She bit her red lip, glared at Liang Xiao, and whispered: "Big liar" Liang Xiao laughed dryly, touching his nose a little embarrassed."
Alright, let's get down to business."
Luo Xuli coughed and put away her smile, but the flush on her face was even thicker."
You have made such a great achievement, how do you want my father to reward you, do you want Baoyu, or do you want Mingzhu" Luo Xuli dragged out her voice, looking at Liang Xiao intently, her white face was ashamed like a crystal ruby.Liang Xiao lowered his eyelids and said seriously: "Since Dahan and Dawan are allies, they should share the same hatred.I did this as I should have done, and I did not dare to ask for a reward. ”"No" Luo Xuli was anxious, stepped forward, and shook Liang Xiao's arm continuously."
No, no.Say it quickly, do you want Baoyu or Mingzhu" Liang Xiao twitched twice, but failed to pull his arm out.He smiled bitterly: "If you want money, I want to travel thousands of miles west, lack of money, lack of a lot of money." ”Luo Xuli puffed out her cheeks, widened her eyes, and looked at Liang Xiao angrily."
Why are you so stupid" "Am I stupid" Liang Xiao continued to pretend to be confused."
I don't think there's a problem.It costs a lot of money to travel so far and with so many people. ”"Well, don't regret it."
Luo Xuli let go of Liang Xiao and rushed out."
I asked my father to reward you with money, and to bury you with gold."
Liang Xiao chased to the door and said loudly: "Princess, then I'll wait." ”Xia Ya glanced at Liang Xiao in confusion and chased him out."
Princess, princess, your cloak" In mid-April, Liang Xiao sent Li Shuyun, Batu and others out of Guishan City.With Batu with them, they will pass through the Yueshi and cross the Green Ridge.This section of the road is still under the control of the Yueshi people, and the safety is relatively guaranteed.Half a month later, Liang Xiao himself also set off to Kangju in Dawanxi.King Dawan rewarded Liang Xiao with 30,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to 1,000 gold, which is indeed a generous gift.But for Liang Xiao, this money is a drop in the bucket.He now had more than 400 Greek foot riders under his command, and almost every one of them had a few mouths behind him, which was not enough money at all.King Dawan was very generous to him, but he was very critical of ordinary soldiers, and he was rewarded with ten gold coins per person.Liang Xiao could only pay out of his own pocket to compensate them.He was going to take them to Greece for at least two years, and he had to relieve them of their worries so that they could travel with peace of mind.Before the 30,000 gold coins were hot, Liang Xiao became a poor egg, and he didn't even have the travel expenses.He was somewhat disappointed, dignified princess, words don't count.said that it was good to bury me with gold, but fortunately, Wu Cai reached out in time and sent Liang Xiao 50,000 gold coins to thank Liang Xiao for his help, which can be regarded as solving Liang Xiao's urgent need.This experience made Liang Xiao realize once again the enormous cost of war.If you don't have money, you can't afford to fight.Although luxury goods are not good for people's livelihood, from the perspective of making money, this business has to be done for a long time.Out of Guishan City, go west along the Gasates River.After walking for a few miles, Sigma tugged at Liang Xiao's sleeve."
Master, you see, it's a princess."
Liang Xiao looked up and was taken aback.No, she really wanted to go west with me, he couldn't help it, kicked his mount lightly, and walked over.Luo Xuli sat on the white horse and glanced at Liang Xiao."
Don't be afraid, I'm not here for you."
Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the heart in his throat.The white horse walked over, sniffing each other with the black horse, rubbing their faces, and making great affection.Luo Xuli and Liang Xiao were only two arms apart, and when she saw that Liang Xiao was relieved, she was furious."
You hate me so much" "Princess, you misunderstood. ”Liang Xiao glanced at the distance with a weak heart, and no one looked this way.He leaned closer and whispered, "I don't have enough troops to ensure the safety of the princess.Moreover, the army is rude, and the princess accompanies her, which is inconvenient.For the sake of the princess, it's better to stay in Guishan City. ”"There are not enough troops, you can't bring more soldiers" "I want to too, but I don't have any money." ”"I have money.""
I'm a dignified man, how can I use the princess's money."
Liang Xiao shook his head, there was no doubt."
Princess, in our Han Dynasty, a man who uses a woman's money will be despised for the rest of his life just like a slave.Thank you for the kindness of the princess, but please don't say anything like that again.A gentleman loves money, takes it in a good way, and every gold coin used is earned by himself, which is fair and fair, and can be learned from heaven and earth. ”Seeing Liang Xiao's serious face and hidden anger, Luo Xuli knew that she was speechless, so she had to mutter: "You Han people are really weird." ”Liang Xiao softened his face and arched his hand."
Princess, please go back.When I come back, I will bring gifts for the princess. ”"That's good."
Luo Xuli chuckled: "It can't be worse than the gift you gave to that princess." ”After saying that, he kicked the white horse lightly and galloped away.Liang Xiao scratched his head, this was a bit troublesome.Alas, although the beauty is favored, the blessing of Qi is not so enjoyable, especially when facing two princesses.Udan stumbled, fell into the snow, and rolled down the hillside.Iur exclaimed in surprise, and exclaimed: "Be careful, there is a cliff ahead" Wudan couldn't hear anything, and his speed became faster and faster, faster and faster, rolling into a snowman and rushing towards the cliff.Seeing that he was about to fall into the cliff, a figure flew down from the hillside, like a big bird, and chased after Wudan in a few longitudinal falls, and grabbed Wudan.Wudan's fall was too fast, and the two fell together.In a hurry, the man stretched out his hand, shook out the whip in his hand, and wrapped it around a boulder.With a "boom", the two of them slid down and disappeared from Iul's sight.Iul rushed over, saw the two hanging in the air, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised."
Great Wizard" The wizard held the black slip in one hand and the whip in the other, and shouted, "Pull us up." ”Iul woke up from a dream and quickly dragged them up.Wudan didn't know where he hit, his face was full of blood, and he was unconscious.Iur was at a loss, but the wizard was not in a hurry, and asked Iur to pick up Wudan and walk up the hillside.Turning the hillside, a shack appeared in front of me, very simple, with only a few animal skins in it, and nothing else:
