Chapter 246 Gentle Township, Hero Tomb
After crossing the Gasatis River, even if he entered the territory of the Yuezhi, Liang Xiao soon met the Yuezhi people who came to check the situation.
When they learned that Liang Xiao was an envoy sent by the Han Dynasty, the Yuezhi people were surprised and very happy. While they sent someone to send the news to Jianshi City, they also sent someone to escort Liang Xiao along the way and arrange food and accommodation, and took care of him more thoughtful than those of Dayuan people.
Liang Xiao walked very comfortably. He rushed during the day and practiced martial arts at night, and learned Greek with Alpha when he had time. I don’t know what Luo Xuli said to her, Alpha and others were obviously much more docile, and more like a maid. Luo Xuli was right. After all, the ability to serve people was trained by a dedicated person in the palace was not inferior to their ability to fight. At least Liang Xiao was very satisfied, especially Alpha, the eldest of the four sisters.
The textbook they used was a volume of ancient books called "History of War", which roughly talked about the separatist rule of the Seleucid dynasty, defeating Antioch III of the Seleucid dynasty, forcing the Seleucid dynasty to recognize the history of Bactricia.
For Liang Xiao, reading this ancient book can explain the history of Baktria on the one hand, and on the other hand, you can also understand the geography of this area. Because there are many maps, mountains, rivers and rivers attached above, and clearly marked them, it is of great help to Liang Xiao.
This ancient book is recently handwritten, with silk handwriting and every word is carefully written. Alpha said that this was handwritten by Princess Luo Xuli himself, and even the map above was drawn by her strokes.
Liang Xiao was very grateful. He knew very well that there was no copier in this era, so Luo Xuli had to copy such an ancient book. How much effort was spent on Luo Xuli. But she didn't tell him a word. Although she was a princess, she was a simple and innocent girl.
Can I give her a perfect ending?
Liang Xiao was a little ecstatic and sighed involuntarily. It was the hardest to accept the kindness of the beauty. He owed Liu Ling countless favors and had not yet paid them back. Now he owed Luo Xuli such a big favor. How long will the debt be paid off?
Seeing that Liang Xiao was a little absent-minded, Alpha was tactful and put down his pen and asked, "Are the master tired? I'll go get water and wait for the master to rest?"
Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. He smiled and said, "I'll wash it, you don't have to wait, go and rest."
"Let me serve my master." Alpha blushed and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you change to Sigma? She admires her master the most and always wants to serve her master."
Liang was stunned and shook his head repeatedly. "No, I still have to practice martial arts. If I sleep very late, I may not sleep all night, so I don't need you to accompany me."
Alpha was a little disappointed and put away the scrolls and went out. Liang Xiao stood up, moved his body and did the preparatory activities before practicing. Although after several months of training, his riding skills were already very skillful, but riding a horse for a day still made him very tired. He tried squatting a few times and slapped his thighs with both hands, hoping to relax the tight muscles of his thighs.
Alpha walked in with the water in his arms, and saw Liang Xiao relaxing, and smiled and said, "Master, let's help you with massage. Take a hot shower, massage, and sleep soundly so that you won't be tired when you wake up tomorrow."
"You guys can do this?" Liang Xiao was surprised.
"Teaching from the palace." Alfa said: "When we are tired of practicing our own skills, we will massage each other, and the effect is very good."
Liang Xiao was so moved that he nodded in a strange way. Seeing that Liang Xiao agreed, Alpha was also very happy and turned around and arranged for someone to burn hot water. Not long after, the four of them walked in with a big hot water bucket. Although there was only half a bucket of water inside, Liang Xiao was still shocked.
"You guys have such great strength?"
"Of course, we are Amazon women warriors." Shigma stuck out her tongue proudly, raised her sleeves, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Don't talk too much, bring the hot water quickly." Alpha said, walking to Liang Xiao. "Please ask me to untidy the master."
Liang Xiao was a little embarrassed when he untied his clothes in front of the four beautiful blond hair and blue eyes. He touched his belt with his hand, but he didn't move for a long time. Seeing Liang Xiao like this, Alpha and others looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Sigma jumped over, untied the belt hook around Liang Xiao's waist and untied his battle robe. When the others saw him, they were not willing to be outdone. They cooperated with tacit understanding and quickly took off Liang Xiao to the point of only a pair of underwear.
"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself." Liang Xiao was embarrassed, grabbed his pants, stepped into the bathtub first, took off his underwear in the water, and threw it out.
"Master, your body is so strong." Sigma picked up the cloth towel and walked behind Liang Xiao, wet the cloth towel and squeezed the water on Liang Xiao's back. His slightly rough fingertips crossed Liang Xiao's skin. Liang Xiao grabbed the cloth towel in a panic and wiped it a little randomly twice, and suddenly felt that the touch was not right.
He looked carefully and found that the cloth towel was not the common linen or silk cloth for men, nor the common sheepskin on the grassland, but a piece of cotton cloth.
“Where did this cloth scarf come from?”
“What we brought.”
"No, I mean, where did the raw material for this cloth towel come from?"
Shigma turned her head blankly and looked at Alpha with help. Xiya, among the three sisters, said first: "I know, this is the cotton cloth of the country of Shibing."
Liang Xiao immediately remembered it in his heart. He had just started reading the ancient scrolls written by Luo Xuli, and he didn't know the specific location of Yubin, but he knew that ancient India produced cotton. Cotton planting requires relatively little water and is suitable for planting in desert oasis. In the current Western Regions, Xinjiang and the five Central Asian countries in later generations are the main exporters of cotton.
It is impossible for everyone to wear silk, but it is entirely possible to popularize cotton. Especially for the army that requires a large number of battle robes, using cotton is definitely more cost-effective than using silk floss to make winter clothes.
"Remember, when you arrive in Jianshi City, remind me to buy some cotton seeds."
Sigma giggled, "The master wants to do a cotton cloth business? It's better to make clothes, of course, the silk of a man is better. It's beautiful and comfortable. When worn on her body, it's as gentle as a lover's hand..."
Alpha lowered his face and scolded, "No nonsense."
Sigma laughed embarrassedly, then screamed again. "Master, why are you so many injuries on your body? Will warriors like you be injured too?"
Liang Xiao smiled. "I am not a god of war, why can't I be injured? Not only will I be injured, but I may also die in battle. This injury..." Liang Xiao touched the wound on his shoulder and told the story of him fighting with Feng Ji for his life. He has been in this world. He has gone through several fierce battles, but the one that impressed him the most was that time.
Listening to Liang Xiao's intention, the four Amazon maids were silent. They did not expect that Liang Xiao would encounter so many difficulties when he came to this point today. Although they had no homeland and were like duckweed, at least they lived in the Dayuan Palace since childhood and had never encountered such danger as Liang Xiao.
They surrounded the bucket, some added water, and some wiped Liang Xiao's back and served him with all their hearts. As Liang Xiao spoke, he suddenly remembered that the culprit Liu Jian was still alive, and he couldn't help feeling an indescribable fatigue.
What's the use of hard work? Can you be named a king? This is an era in which background determines lifelong life. This is an era where bloodline is more important than hard work. Even if you are a marquis and generals, aren't you inferior to these scums?
Liang Xiao felt a fire in his heart. He relaxed, curled up in the hot water, and closed his eyes.
Before he knew it, he fell asleep and made a gentle snoring sound. His face, which was soaked in hot water, slowly relaxed, but his eyebrows were frowning from time to time. When he heard the story, Sigma, who was fascinated by the eyes, couldn't help but turn red, tears burst out from the eyes and fell into the water.
Alpha's nose was also a little sour, but she still controlled her emotions and directed her sisters to burn the fire in the house and warm it up like spring. Then she lifted Liang Xiao out of the water, placed it on the bed, wiped the water from his body, wrapped it with a thin quilt, and began to massage Liang Xiao's limbs and relax her body. They did it as gentle as possible to not wake Liang Xiao up.
Liang Xiao did not really fall asleep. He could not really relax in a foreign land. However, he enjoyed the tranquility of this moment, closed his eyes and remained motionless. For him, such moments were worth cherishing. He had never had such experiences in his two lives.
After the massage, Alpha and others packed everything and quietly retreated. Liang Xiao lay in the soft quilt, feeling like he didn't want to get up. After struggling for a long time, he lifted the quilt and sat up. Although the gentle place is good, if he does not have firm perseverance, such enjoyment can easily become a hero's tomb. He does not want to become a rich but not strong person like the monarch and minister of Dayuan, and be slaughtered by others.
This moment of peace was already a luxury for him.
Liang Xiao put on his clothes and started practicing next to the fire. The four Alpha sisters' massage techniques were really good. He was now relaxed, and even the soreness and swelling of his thighs were much lessened. He took a step forward and began to practice repeatedly, shooting left and right, shooting one round and one substitute, with accurate and accurate style.
After washing, Alpha opened the tent door and walked in. Seeing that Liang Xiao had already gotten up to practice, his bronze skin was shining under the flames, and the scars of all sizes were vivid in his mind. He couldn't help but be surprised. He raised his hand to cover his mouth, so as not to make a sound, so as not to disturb Liang Xiao. The originally half-covered collar slid down, revealing a plump and half of the jade peak.
Liang Xiao stopped, looked at her, and couldn't help but praise: Europeans are Europeans, and they developed so early.
"Who of you wants to learn archery?"
"Ah? Oh," Alpha was a little panicked and hurriedly covered her clothes. "Yes... it's Sigma, she likes archery the most."
"Let her serve her. How much can she understand, and see her luck."
Al** gave a moment, then was overjoyed and hurriedly walked out. Liang Xiao smiled, calmed down and continued to practice. After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded, and Sigma walked in quickly, holding a bow in his hand, and panting at Liang Xiao.
"Master, can I really learn to shoot archery from you?"
"You can watch first. If you can see some tricks, I will teach you again. If you can't understand at all, don't waste your time." Liang Xiao said while practicing: "Your archery skills are pretty good, and it is not easy to break through to a higher level. It depends not only on whether you have perseverance, but also on whether you have talent."
"Master is my talent." Sigma couldn't help laughing. Alpha glared at her, and she quickly put away her smile, lowered her bow, stared at Liang Xiao intently, and slowly gestured-
