Chapter 385
The Liang family is busy.
Liang Xiao is about to go to war, and all the mercenaries and knights will accompany him, and all the armor and horses must be prepared. Although the official will provide the supply of people and horses, for them, some things, especially weapons, are better for them, and they should take them as much as possible.
After several months of training during Huan Yuan and Zhongli period, these people's strength has improved significantly, especially the Greek young knights, who are now well-deserved warriors. They are full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
The day before leaving Beijing, Liang Xiao took some time to find Wei Qing. Although the emperor did not say it clearly, it is highly likely that Wei Qing would go to war. This separation may be half a year later. When Liang Xiao arrived at his house, Wei Qing was practicing martial arts with his cousin Wei Tao, and Zheng Er was busy in the kitchen. Huo Qubing held the hand of Xiao Wei Kang who had just walked and played.
Seeing Liang Xiao, Wei Qing stopped quickly and shouted: "Oh, senior brother is here, you go and buy some new wine."
Liang Xiao held back his laughter and waved his hand. "No, I'll bring all the wine and meat, I'll take the cow in later."
"Have you packed up?" Wei Tao said with a smile: "There are many rangers who will go with you this time?"
Liang Xiao smiled. There were many Rangers who took the initiative to come to his door, but he didn't want any of them. The purpose of these people going to war was very clear, just to be rich. Not to mention becoming good brothers like Tu Niuer, even if they were compared with Pang Shuo, the loyalty of these people was difficult to cultivate. Instead of doing so, it would be better to let them join the army directly to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
The emperor's surprise at Liu Fei's strength left a deep impression on Liang Xiao. Liu Fei was his brother, and he was so cautious that he could not be careless. Now he needs you. Everything is easy to say. No need to wait. These will become hidden dangers. The number of qualities must be controlled, which is the rule that Liang Xiao set for himself.
"Zhongqing, nothing else is fine, I'll give you a knife." Liang Xiao took a wuz knife and handed it to Wei Qing. "I hope you can't use it."
The sword is a melee weapon. For generals, using melee weapons means that the battle is at its most dangerous time. Liang Xiao and Wei Qing have had experience fighting side by side, and know that although Wei Qing talks little, he is a person who is very cruel to himself. In order to win, he will go into battle without hesitation.
Wei Qing pulled out the knife and danced twice. The blade broke through the air and made a whimper. Wei Qing was very satisfied. "A good knife should be made by a famous craftsman."
"No matter how good the sword is, it's just a few enemies. You and I are all commanders, so it's better not to show off your courage."
"June, you can say this now, how can we be qualified?" Wei Tao quipped. He took the knife from Wei Qing's hand and danced it a few times. He couldn't let it go. Although this knife had no precious ornaments, it was like snow, with dark flowers hidden, and it exuded a bitter murderous aura.
"Brother Wei, the emperor raised troops to fight back against the Huns. It was the time when you and I made contributions. I was just one step ahead of you. You followed Zhongqing and you were just a marquis to be granted a title?"
Wei Tao laughed. "Then let's borrow the words of Junhou Ji."
Tu Niuer walked in with a large piece of meat and two jars of wine. Zheng Er quickly wiped his hands on his apron, greeted him, took the wine and meat, and showed a little ashamed. "Senior brother, come here, you can bring so many things every time, how embarrassed we are."
"What kind of friendship do I have with Zhongqing? Do you still have to care about this?" Liang Xiao glared at Zheng Er. "If you have time, you can go and see the master more. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Yueliang's body is not very convenient, so you often go to see her. She can talk to you the best in Chang'an. Take Kang'er with me, maybe she can give birth to a son for me."
Zheng Er's eyes lit up. "Does the moon exist?"
Liang Xiao nodded. Yueliang was already one month pregnant, but Li Rongqing had no shadow at all. I was so anxious that my mother was talking about going back to Guangling to fulfill her wish every day, saying that Li Rongqing's father was angry and he had to go to worship. Liang Xiao was a little inaccurate. Li Rongqing was very healthy and Yueliang could get pregnant so quickly, why couldn't she get pregnant?
Zheng Er said for a while and got into the kitchen again. Wei Qing's eyes followed Zheng Er's figure and it took him a long time to turn back. Liang Xiao saw it and sighed secretly. The couple had a good relationship, but unfortunately they would not last long. In the future, Princess Pingyang will come to steal people, so Zheng Er, the barbarian girl, is not the opponent.
Seeing that Liang Xiao’s face was not good, Wei Qing said, “If I can make a contribution this time, I will marry her when I come back. You must come and have a drink at that time.”
Liang Xiao glanced at Wei Qing, raised his eyebrows, wanted to speak but stopped, and replied simply. "Okay!"
Zheng Er used to be a willful little girl, but after following Wei Qing, she had already practiced to become a housewife. After a while, the wine was put on and the meat was cut. Although Liang Xiao brought enough meat, she still habitually cut it thinly, spread it on the plate piece by piece, and it looked a lot. Liang Xiao saw it and felt sad.
The charcoal fire licked the bottom of the wok, and the water boiled. Liang Xiao and others picked up thin slices of meat as thin as paper and put them in the wok to rinse. The seasoning was very simple, it was the most common sauce on the street. However, Liang Xiao was very happy to eat. Chang'an is so big that he was the most relaxed except at home, and Wei Qing, and he didn't have to worry about saying it wrong. Wei Qing is a person who talks very little, but he knows what to say and what not to say.
Only by having the experience of fighting side by side or even dependent on life and death can one become a true friend of knowledge.
While drinking and eating meat, they chatted. After Zheng Er finished his work, he also walked out and hugged Wei Kang. Huo Qubing made a move and squeezed to Wei Qing. He ate two pieces of meat first, burned his mouth and sucked the air conditioner. Liang Xiao glanced at him. "Is there no meat in the palace?"
"There is meat in the palace, but it is not as good as my aunt's cut." Huo Qubing said, and stuffed two pieces of meat into his mouth. "Mr. Liang Jun, don't kill all the Huns, leave some for me to kill. I'm going to go to war before I was eighteen."
Liang Xiao was puzzled. "Why should I be before I was eighteen?"
Huo Qubing buried his head in eating meat.
"Why, I'll surpass you." Wei Tao laughed: "This kid is holding a grudge, thinking about how to surpass you every day."
"Beyond me?" Liang Xiao tilted his mouth. "Boy, then you have to learn."
Huo Qubing wrinkled his nose and looked at him disdainfully. Wei Qing was a little embarrassed and quickly persuaded Liang Xiao to drink. They were just talking happily, and the sound of people talking came from outside the door. Wei Tao got up and walked out. It took not long, so he led Liu Ling and Lei to come in. Wei Qing was very surprised and quickly got up to greet him, warmly invited Liu Ling to sit down, and asked Zheng Er to cut some meat.
Liang Xiao was also very strange. "Why are you here?"
"I'll take a look at Mrs. Zheng." Liu Ling asked back. "I heard you're leaving Beijing tomorrow?"
Liang Xiao blinked and laughed silently. "I originally planned to have lunch here, and then took Zhongqing and the others to Huainan Palace for dinner, but I didn't expect you to come first. It's okay, let's have it together."
Liu Ling regretted it a little, but it was inconvenient to say more. She had known the news that Liang Xiao was leaving Beijing for a long time, and had been waiting for Liang Xiao to say goodbye. She couldn't wait for it, but she didn't come yet, so she had to come to him on his own initiative. He heard that Liang Xiao had come to Wei's house, so she came with the banner of coming to Zheng Er.
"The young man is willing to visit Huainan Mansion, of course the little woman is eager to ask for it. However, when you go there, you can't just have a free meal. You have to ask you for some questions."
"Ask me for advice?" Liang Xiao laughed. "You are planning to learn archery art? You really plan to learn this. I can introduce you to my master. However, your muscles are already done, and I'm afraid you can't practice it anymore. I'd better learn from my junior sister."
"Oh, is it, my muscles are already formed?" Liu Ling pretended to realize suddenly, glanced at Liang Xiao, with a little resentment.
Liang Xiao was embarrassed and hurriedly buried his head in eating meat. Liu Ling refused to let him go and said, "There is one more thing to congratulate Liang Junhou."
Liang Xiao held a large piece of meat in his mouth and looked at Liu Ling begging for mercy. However, Liu Ling turned a blind eye and tapped the plate cup with the chopsticks in his hand. Ding Ding Dangdang, and every stroke hit Liang Xiao's heart.
"Congratulations to Liang Junhou for adding a noble son."
Liang Xiao was confused. "What?"
"On the way here, I happened to meet the envoy of the Dayuan Proton. He rushed to your house to report the news, saying that the Dayuan Princess gave birth to a son." Liu Ling glanced at Liang Xiao sideways and dragged his voice. "Peace of mother and son"
Liang Xiao was shocked. Even the deaf man could hear the sourness in Liu Ling's tone at this time, and he was immediately embarrassed. Even the good news of Luo Xuli giving birth could not make him excited.
Everyone also heard something was wrong, and they pretended not to understand and persuaded each other to drink.
The fact that Liu Ling was interested in Liang Xiao had long spread throughout Chang'an City. First, Liang Xiao's reputation was too good, and second, Liu Ling himself did not cover it up, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to look for Liang Xiao repeatedly. Wei Qing knew everything between them and knew that the reason why it had not yet blossomed and bear fruit was because of the special status of the King of Huainan. Otherwise, the so lively emperor would have issued an edict. He could enfeoff Liang Xiao's fief near Jiangdu Kingdom, so how could he be stingy with a lord?
But now, they all know that Liu Ling is in a bad mood and is deliberately looking for trouble.
Wei Qing was stupid and didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to persuade him to drink and eat. Huo Qubing was puzzled. "What is the Dayuan Princess? What does his son have to do with Liang Junhou?"
"Little Qubing, you don't know now." Liu Ling reached out to touch Huo Qubing's head. "If you want to catch up with Liang Junhou, you have to learn not only to ride horses and shoot arrows, but also to learn how to deceive the princess. Look, Liang Junhou went to Yanmen and brought back a moon. He went to the Western Regions and brought back a pearl. This skill is not easy to learn."
Huo Qubing suddenly realized and jumped up, his little face turned red. "You...you...how can you do this?"
Liang Xiao was so angry that he raised his hand and said, "Little Master, eat your meat! The hair has not grown yet. What do you know about adults?"
Huo Qubing was furious. "You are too much. You...how did you make me surpass you?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and burst into laughter.
Liang Xiao suppressed his laughter, pulled Huo Qubing over, crossed his leg, and patted it twice. "Little Shuzi, I told you that it would not be that easy to surpass me. If you don't believe it, ask Master Weng, how did I reject her when she wanted to invite me to the Huainan Prince's Mansion? If you were to you, could you be so brave? Do you know how many heroes fell to Master Weng's beauty pass, only me..."
Liang Xiao pointed at his nose. "Get out of here."
"And" Liu Ling couldn't help laughing. "I'm so ashamed to brag." -
