Liu Ling stood in the corridor, and the yard was filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus, lingering at her nose, refreshing the heart. The moonlight was cold, illuminating her clothes and embroidered shoes, but her face was hidden in the darkness and she couldn't see clearly.

She stood here for a long time, like a statue.

As footsteps sounded, Deng Guobin walked in quickly, stood at the steps, bowed and bowed.

"What does Yan Zhu say?"

"Yan Zhu refused to see him." Deng Guobin was very angry. "I went to see Mei Gao later and found out some news."

"Mei Gao?" Liu Ling was a little surprised. "What did he say?"

"Yan Zhu advised Your Majesty to find Dong Zhongshu's disciple Lu Bushu, and said that the Mohist academics are not a very elegant hall. Master Weng, this person is narrow-minded and holds a deep hatred for Master Weng, so he takes the opportunity to threaten him."

Liu Ling snorted and said nothing. When she heard the name Dong Zhongshu, she knew what Yan Zhu was thinking. Dong Zhongshu was a great scholar in the world and ruled "Gongyang Chunqiu", while "Gongyang Chunqiu" advocated great unification the most, and was in line with the idea of ​​the emperor's suppression of the princes and monopolizing the power. This is probably not Yan Zhu's own idea, but the suggestion he made in agreement with the emperor's intention.

It seems like a small problem, but it actually involves the theoretical dispute between kingly way and domineering, Taoism and Confucianism. But it is ridiculous to say that the kingly way is originally the most respected theory of Confucianism, but now the emperor who pursues dominance is together with Confucianism. I really don’t know whether it is a disaster or a blessing.

"Go back to Huainan early tomorrow morning." Liu Ling turned around and walked towards the inner room.

"Master, are you waiting for news?"

"The emperor has made arrangements, and the rest can only be found by God."

"No, Master Weng, I mean, don't wait for Lu Bushu's reply?"

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, and a blush flashed across his face. Then he snorted again: "Dong Zhongshu rubbed Yin and Yang into Confucianism. He said that he could not solve this problem. I am waiting here. Wouldn't it embarrassing the emperor? With news, he will naturally send it to Huainan."

Deng Guobin seemed to understand. He said oh, and did not ask again.

Liang Xiao was covered in moonlight and passed through the Xingxing Gorge.

On both sides are towering cliffs, which are not very high, but look very steep. Looking up, the peaks on both sides are very close, leaving only a slender sky curtain, like a monster. They were about to close their mouths and swallow the pedestrians in the valley into their belly. The stones on the mountain were illuminated by the moonlight and mixed with the stars in the sky.

One man is at the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Xingxing Gorge is the west gate of the Hexi Corridor. From here to west, you will enter the Western Regions. From here to east, you will enter the Hexi Corridor. If you control this place, you will control the throat of this silk path, and no one can pass through it.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao was not a forceful attack, Huangfu Qi and more than a thousand Yuezhi people were waiting for him. Seeing Liang Xiao walk out of the valley, Huangfu Qi and others greeted him and enthusiastically introduced the Yuezhi people who were accompanying him.

"Sir, this is Maqi, the commander of the remaining Yuezhi tribe. There are more than a thousand people, and they are now stationed in the Wild Horse Valley. Among the Yuezhi people who stay in their hometown, he is a famous Yingnan. He has attracted strong bows and shot birds, and is a well-deserved archer."

Liang Xiao heard Huangfu Qi's hint and quickly jumped off the horse and greeted Ma Qi. Ma Qi is in his fifties, tall, dark-skinned and bearded. Under the flames, his two deep-sleeping eyes flashed with a warning light. They swept around Liang Xiao's face.

"I've seen the adults." Maqi stroked his chest and shook his eyes to Liang Xiao's back. "Mr. Huangfu is here to reward. How dare I be called an archer in front of the adults? We Yuezhi people respect heroes the most. Maqi is brave. I wonder if we can see the adults' magical archery skills at first?"

Before the knight picked up the torch, Maqi widened his eyes. He was an expert, and from Liang Xiao's archery posture alone, it was obvious that Liang Xiao's archery skills were not ordinary. Not to mention that he was so easy to pull the legendary human bow, just looking at his smooth movements, he was more skillful than he had been shooting archery all his life, and had an indescribable harmonious beauty.

This is probably the legendary human bow unity? Marqi thought to himself.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the knight rode over, holding a torch in his hand. There was no arrow on the torch, and the arrow was in the other hand of the knight. The knight jumped off the horse and ran to Maqi. Without saying a word, he looked at Liang Xiao in surprise.

"What kind of bow do you use, this hero? It's so powerful that you can shoot through a torch at such a distance."

March was shocked and hurriedly took the torch. There was a hole in each of the torches, which was shot through by an arrow. He took the arrow again and saw the carefully crafted blood groove on the arrow with a flashing cold light, and couldn't help but blurt out.

"What a beautiful arrow, what kind of arrow is this? It's so sharp?"

"I ask the famous Dayuan craftsmen to use armor-breaking arrows made of wuz iron." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "For the first time we met, we don't give them anything. We will give these two armor-breaking arrows to the Duwei. Please don't be too rude."

March was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. He carefully put away the arrows and enthusiastically invited Liang Xiao to get on the horse and rushed to his tribe.

Wild Horse Valley is about ten miles east of Xingxing Gorge. It is a valley next to the Shule River tributary. The terrain is flat and the water flows to form a small lake of several miles. Hundreds of tents stood by the lake. When the sound of horse hooves were heard, the people in the tent walked out, almost all of them were strong men. They stood on the side of the road, looked at Liang Xiao and others, and saw Maqi and Liang Xiao walking side by side, and all showed a little surprise.

Liang Xiao didn't ask much. From Maqi's behavior, he could roughly see Maqi's personality. Such a person who can dominate the world probably wouldn't call him brother or brother when he saw someone, and he was a little arrogant.

Maqi chose the best place and asked Liang Xiao's subordinates to camp, and then led Liang Xiao into the big tent. The big tent had already been arranged with wine and meat, although it was simple, the quantity was sufficient. It can be seen that Maqi had already prepared for Liang Xiao's arrival.

"Come on, take out the best wine." March smiled embarrassedly, "I am not well prepared, please forgive me."

Liang Xiao smiled. It was not that Marqi was not well prepared, but that he had no intention of taking it out. If he didn't show his bow and showed his superb archery skills, he wouldn't have a chance to drink this good wine.

"You are polite." Liang Xiao turned around and winked at Shigma. Shigma understood and took out the bow and sent it to Maqi. Maqi rubbed his hands hard on the hem of his clothes, then took it over and looked in front of the torch. As he looked, a few tears slid down and fell on the bow.

"I didn't expect that in this life, I would have the chance to see my Yuezhi people's treasure bow." March hugged the bow, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly.

When the Yuezhi generals who were ordered to come to accompany the guests saw him, they all fell to the ground and cried.

Huangfu Qi stood aside, looked at the scene, couldn't help but pull Liang Xiao aside, and asked quietly: "Sir, what's going on with this man's bow? Since it is the treasure of Yuezhi, why did it be in the hands of the adult?"

Liang Xiao smiled silently. He glanced at Huangfu Qi and said calmly: "It was stolen from the Wusun people."

Huangfu Qi was stunned and then said regretfully: "Why don't you say it earlier if you have this treasure bow? Isn't it better to save those wealth?"—
