Chapter 244 Thousand Bulls Knife, Armor Breaking Arrow
Chang'an, greenhouse hall.
The emperor held the heavy bamboo slips in both hands, raised them over his head, gritted his teeth, and prepared to throw them to the ground. After thinking about it, he gave up. He threw the bamboo slips on the table, pointed his finger, wanted to curse, but bit his lips again, laughing and crying.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yan Zhu happened to walk in. Seeing this scene, he was shocked and asked quickly.
"Look, look." The emperor said angrily: "Uncle Wang has been in Wanyan again."
When Yan Zhen heard this, he couldn't help laughing. The Uncle Wang naturally refers to Liu An, the King of Huainan. Liu An is knowledgeable, well-written, and quotes classics and quotes, and he often speaks ten thousand words. As a close minister of the emperor, Yan Zhu not only saw Liu An's ten thousand words of letters at once.
Yan Zhu knelt in front of the desk and browsed the Wanyan Book. Even though he read the book very quickly, he had used it for a long time after reading the Wanyan Book. He covered the bamboo slips and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking.
"How is it?" The emperor tilted his mouth and looked slanted, and;;+ means a bit of a prank.
"Your Majesty, this is nothing. Isn't it just that Huang Lao should use the rule of the country, and he is quiet and inaction. I have said it many times, but there is nothing new." Yan Zhu slowed down his speech and his eyes flashed. "However, the few things he said make sense, such as Liang Xiao's edict..."
"Do you think it's inappropriate?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, a little unhappy.
"Of course not. Your Majesty, I think it's better for Liang Xiao to take risks. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the army goes deeper, and safety is difficult to guarantee. Liang Xiao has a pair of ape arms, born with a sharp shot, and is very brave and powerful. If he is properly trained, he will definitely be a brave general like General Li in the future. If he is in the Western Regions, wouldn't it be a pity? The King of Huainan said he was reckless, and he cannot say that it is unreasonable."
The emperor frowned and pondered without saying a word.
"Besides, although Liang Xiao is brave, he does not study. He is not polite and has a vulgar literary talent. He charges in front of the battle and does not let people first, but this trip to other countries and verbal confrontation seems not what he is good at. If he loses courtesy and makes it laugh at the Western barbarians, wouldn't it be a detriment to my reputation in China? From this point of view, it is also right for the King of Huainan to say that he is overestimating his abilities. It may be more appropriate for Mei Gao to do such a thing."
The emperor took a deep breath and frowned tightly.
Guo Sheren, who was waiting on the side, saw it and couldn't help but grin. His amplitude was not large, but it was enough for the emperor to see it. The emperor raised his eyes and snorted: "What do you want to say?"
Guo Sheren bowed and said in a sharp voice: "I also think Liang Xiao is too stupid."
"You also said Liang Xiaoshi?" The emperor's tone was obviously wrong, his eyes became sharp, and he became a little angry and embarrassed.
"Isn't he stupid? It's dangerous enough to go to the Xiongnu, but it's not enough. What kind of Western Regions should he go to? In fact, with his wealth, he is not worse than the Marquis of Lie, so why take that risk? He is young and rich, and has no worries about food and clothing. If he can take advantage of his youth, he will read more books and learn to recite poems and essays, and his future will be promising. If he is a minister worried about the major issues of the country, he is a small man who joins in the fun. It would be fine if he sacrificed his life, which has caused His Majesty's reputation. It's really damn."
"And!" The emperor laughed, stepped in front of Guo Sheren in two steps, raised his hand and patted Guo Sheren on the face. "Dog thing, do you know nothing. They all look like the King of Huainan. Who does things for the court? Can the Huns be retreated by chanting poems and empowering them?"
Guo Sheren knelt obediently on the ground. "Yes, I'm talking nonsense, and I'd like to ask Your Majesty to punish him." As he said that, he glanced at Yan Zhu proudly. Yan Zhu's face turned blue, but he was helpless. Although Guo Sheren was an eunuch, he was a confidant of the emperor, and he dared not offend him easily. Moreover, the emperor's words already revealed the dissatisfaction with his response just now. If he persisted, he would probably make the emperor angry.
Yan Zhu regretted it too much and wanted to slap himself twice. He knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the King of Huainan's Wanyanshu, and he was confused for a moment, and actually agreed with the King of Huainan's opinion and offended the Emperor for nothing. He was so stupid.
The emperor had decided on his mind and his worries were wiped out. "Okay, this matter ends here. Yan Zhu, if you go to see the King of Huainan for me, I will appreciate his kindness. However, Liang Xiao serves the country and is brave enough to take responsibility, so it is better to encourage more. What should I say, please consider what to do."
Yan Zhu had no choice but to nod and agreed. "Ye!"
"And..." The emperor raised his hand and called Yan Zhu who was about to retreat. After thinking about it, he said: "The Master of Huainan shared the worries of the country, and contributed the Qianlijing to the Mile of Miles and was profound in his knowledge. He was a model of the royal family. He deserves to be rewarded. He was divided into Liyang, Fuling was Shenyuan County, and Liu Ling was appointed as the Lord of Shenyuan County. Humph, I have a clear reward and punishment?"
Yan Zhuo nodded and didn't dare to say more.
Pang Shuo held the iron knife that had just been installed and smiled. "I'll try it?"
Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Of course you have to try it. If you don't try it, how can you know whether Lao Bu's skills are true or false?"
The old blacksmith Bryant looked disdainful. He turned to look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, with a proud look on his face.
Liang Xiao asked someone to lead a black cow. The black cow looked at Liang Xiao and seemed to feel the danger. He struggled desperately, pulling the slave of the cow to slide on the grass. Pang Shuo rushed forward with a big step, shouted softly, and slashed it down with a knife.
The iron knife cut off the cow's neck bone, almost cutting off the entire cow's head, leaving only one-third of it hanging on it. Blood gushed out, and the sturdy black cow fell to the ground without saying a word, his limbs twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
"What a knife, a knife." Pang Shuo was overjoyed and shouted blindly: "Thank you, sir, thank you Lao Bu."
"Your swordsmanship is not good." Lao Bu said without any affection at all, "A true master, with the sword I made, can cut off the body of a cow, let alone the bull's head."
Pang Shuo was a little embarrassed. This was the first time someone dared to say that his sword skills were not good. "Why don't you say that your sword is not sharp enough?"
"The knife I made is not sharp enough?" Lao Bu jumped up and cursed. "You are a blind thing, dare you say that the knife I made is not sharp enough? If this knife is in the hands of a person who knows how to use a knife and cherishes a knife, let alone kill a cow, even a thousand cows will not be damaged. You can't use it yourself, and you still say that my knife is not good?"
Pang Shuo's face was red, but he was even more happy. "Sir, I want to give this knife a name. What do you think should I choose?"
Liang Xiao looked at the cripple Lao Bu who was furious and jumped three feet high. "Since Lao Bu brags about being able to kill Qianniu, just call it Qianniu Kniu Kniu Kniu."
"Qianniu?" Pang Shuo tasted it and was very satisfied. "Okay, this name is domineering."
Seeing this, Xie Guanglong couldn't help but ordered someone to bring a set of iron armor, cover it on the cattle corpse, jumped up, holding a spear in both hands, and hit the iron armor. The iron spear pierced the iron armor and then into the cattle's belly, almost stabbing the entire spearhead, as relaxed as if piercing a layer of leather armor.
This spearhead was designed by Liang Xiao, and it was designed with the three-edged military spear shape of later generations, with blood grooves on three sides. When the spearhead stabbed into the cattle's belly, blood splashed out along the blood groove. The cattle's muscles contracted, revealing a scary wound.
Xie Guanglong easily pulled out the iron spear and tried twice. He couldn't help laughing wildly, regardless of the spearhead being all bull blood. He hugged the arms and kissed him so hard that his face was covered with blood. After kissing the iron spear, he ran to Liang Xiao again and bowed repeatedly. "Thank you, sir, thank you." He turned around and hugged Lao Bu, who was still cursing, and raised it high. "Lao Bu, you are a cute lame man."
Lao Bu smiled. He couldn't understand Chinese, but he could feel Xie Guanglong's excitement. He patted Xie Guanglong's head hard, raised his thumbs up, pointed at Pang Shuo, and shook his head with disgust. Pang Shuo couldn't hold back his face and turned his head aside.
Liang Xiao said, "I'm sorry, don't be happy, go find some ponytails and make a spear."
"Okay, I'll go now. I'll do it myself, no one will think of touching my baby in the future." Xie Guanglong put down his old man and went happily.
Lao Bu picked up a wooden box and limped to Liang Xiao. He opened the wooden box, and there were a hundred cold arrows neatly placed inside. Each one was as delicate as a work of art, exuding a sharp beauty that made people breathe. Not only Liang Xiao was very satisfied with his sight, but even the four Amazon maids who had always been not very cold to him widened their eyes, staring at the arrow with eight blue eyes, and they were reluctant to move them away for a moment.
"Sigma, leave these arrows to you. You are responsible for installing them into arrows and carrying them with you."
Shigma responded, covered the wooden box, hugged it in her arms, and smiled happily for the first time.
Liang Xiao was in a good mood. It turned out that you could laugh. I thought you could only chop people, but not laugh. This was much better. Seeing Liang Xiao look at her, Sigma turned her head embarrassedly, blinked at the other three sisters, and stuck out her tongue.
The cripple Lao Bu was proud, his eyes almost grew into the sky, and he only looked at people with his nostrils. When Shigma and others saw it, they lowered their faces and snorted. Lao Bu suddenly became depressed, leaned on crutches, turned around and left with agility that was rare in normal times. Liang Xiao rushed forward and grabbed him.
"Don't leave, I have something to say."
"Sir, can you let them go away first?" Lao Bu looked embarrassed. "When I saw these Amazon women, I felt my crotch cold..."
"Why? Are you..."
"Don't you know? Although these Amazon women are pretty, they are men's demons. Their favorite thing is to cut off men's limbs or castrate them."
"Damn it!" Liang Xiao was startled and felt a chill in his crotch. "So cruel?"
"Don't talk nonsense." The four Amazon maids stared at each other and shouted in unison: "Why do you cut off your tongue."
Lao Bu's legs became weak and he almost sat on the ground with a pale face.
Liang Xiao was furious. He lowered his face and looked at the four Amazon maids coldly.
"Lao Bu is the guest I invited. If you can't treat each other with courtesy, then go back to the palace."
