What's more, Liang Xiao is not a gentleman who keeps politeness. He is a humble person. He has done all the things of digging graves and robbing tombs, and he must have done a lot of things of stealing women. Now, he has not gotten married yet, and he already has two concubines at home, and there is a princess in the Western Regions. If he keeps his politeness, it would be abnormal.

The King of Huainan became more and more nervous as he heard it. He was only three-point suspicious, but now he had a score. He did not dare to be negligent and immediately sent Zuo Wu to invite Huan Yuan and Liang Xiao to the palace to discuss the matter of proposing marriage. This matter cannot be delayed. It is the King of Huainan that is embarrassed. A scoundrel like Liang Xiao does not care about his face.

Seeing Zuo Wu, Liang Xiao and Huan Yuan exchanged smug eyes and smiled knowingly.

The two followed Zuo Wu to the palace. Liang Xiao stood outside the hall, and Huan Yuan followed Zuo Wu into the hall. After waiting for a while, the King of Huainan came out. Although he was depressed, he had to smirks on his face.

"Han Jun, I've been neglected, I've been neglected. I've been too busy with business these days and I'm not polite. Please let Huan Jun Haihuan wait for any rude things."

"It's okay." Huan Yuan waved his hand calmly. "The king devoted himself to academics and was famous all over the world. It is my honor to be able to ask his disciples for relatives to Huainan."

The King of Huainan laughed loudly, got into the seat, said a few words, and then went straight to the point.

"Although Liang Xiao is young, he is a famous talent all over the world. It is also her blessing to be able to get his favor. However, marriage is a big event after all, and the girl is the pearl in my hand. Liang Xiao wants to marry her well, so this betrothal gift... cannot be light. I promised in advance that I, Huainan, don't take much attention to money, jewelry, etc."

Huan Yuan nodded with a smile. "The king is right. Master Weng is one of the few good women in the world. If you want to marry her, you must have a betrothal gift." He said, taking out a flat brocade box from his sleeve and put it on the table. He opened the brocade box and took out two book bags, one green and the other red, and placed it on the table side by side.

"The Liang family has prepared two gifts, but I don't know which one is more suitable for the king's wishes. Why don't you ask the king to choose one? How about it?"

The King of Huainan was stunned and looked at Huan Yuan with a strange look. Although this marriage could not be refused, he still wanted to make things difficult for Liang Xiao. If you don’t have money or jewelry, what else can you ask for? He really wanted to know what other betrothal gifts Liang Xiao could give. He never expected that Liang Xiao not only prepared, but also prepared two copies.

What kind of treasures are hidden in these two bookcases that make Liang Xiao so confident?

"I wonder what the difference between these two gifts?"

"Cyan is to seek profit, and red is to avoid harm."

"Try to profit? Avoid harm?" King Huainan stroked his beard and moved for a moment. Yes, profit and harm cannot be escaped. Even if he has a wealth of thousands of dollars and 3,000 disciples, he cannot avoid the two things of profit and harm. He knows his own affairs, and the benefits and harm of Huainan are much more serious than the money and jewelry that ordinary people think.

Could this be the reason why Ling'er fell in love with Liang Xiao? Liang Xiao has the ability to help me realize my dream and avoid failure?

The King of Huainan hesitated for a long time before he slowly said: "I have enough profits, so let's see how to avoid harm."

"Please, King." Huan Yuan picked up the red book bag and presented it to him with both hands. The waiter beside the King of Huainan came over, took the book bag, turned around and placed it on the table in front of the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan did not open it. He stared at the red book bag for a while and raised his eyebrows. "If I think this betrothal gift is not heavy enough to marry my daughter, what should I do? Can I change to another one?"

Huan Yuan put the green book bag into the box, raised his head, and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, you will be satisfied."

"Are you so confident?"

"I have always had confidence in Liang Xiao, just like Master Weng."

The King of Huainan curled his lips disapprovingly, but his heart was filled with a sensation. Liang Xiao was so confident, could he guess my plan? If this is true, Ling'er was smart and confused for a while. How could such an important thing be told to outsiders? No matter what, he had to wait until he became a member of my Huainan Prince's Mansion.

Could it be... Ling'er has convinced him?

The King of Huainan was ups and downs, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. The small red book bag seemed to contain something shocking, which made him dare not open it. After a while, he barely calmed down, reached out and pulled the tie of the book bag, and took out the silk book inside.

It's a map.

"What kind of map is this?" King Huainan frowned and looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't understand what it was. He had seen countless maps, but he didn't see such a map.

"A map that can make the king get what he wants, but without any disaster or blame."

"Get what you want?" King Huainan narrowed his eyes and looked at the map carefully. After a while, he suddenly understood a little, put the map on the table, pointed to the center of the map, and screamed: "This is... this is a big man? The big man... only takes up such a small part?"

Huan Yuan didn't say anything, but just looked at the King of Huainan quietly. Liang Xiao just asked him to choose these two silk books for the King of Huainan, but did not tell him whether these two silk books were talented. Before that, he didn't even know that the map was installed in it.

The King of Huainan looked at it for a long time, and the more he looked, the more confused he became. He asked someone to call Liang Xiao in. "What map are you?"

Liang Xiao knelt across from the King of Huainan, pointed to the map and said, "King, this is the map of the world. The area we refer to is the Han Dynasty. The king's left side is the Western Regions. There are dozens of countries of all sizes in the Western Regions, and I'm afraid there is not much space left for the King. But on the right side of the King, no, no, on the far right side, this piece of land is the gift left by God to the King."

The King of Huainan twitched his lips, reached out to push the map away, and smiled disdainfully: "I am the King of Huainan, Huainan is my vassal state, so why should I beg for the barbarian land? Looking at this map, this land is more than ten thousand miles away from Huainan, right?"

"The land of barbarians?" Liang Xiao smiled. "King, Huainan was once the land of Chu. If I remember well, the people of Chu were descendants of phoenix birds, and they were descendants of merchants, right?"

The King of Huainan was confused and didn't know what Liang Xiao was talking about.

"This land is not a barbarian land. It was conquered by the Shang people long before King Wu conquered Zhou. The land was no less fertile than the Central Plains. Therefore, after the fall of Shang, a large number of descendants moved eastward and now they all live on that land. If a wise king like the king was convinced by virtue, I think they would definitely eat pots of slurry to welcome the king's army. This place is thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty and the king has made contributions. How could the court not entrust the important task of guarding this place to the king?"

The King of Huainan was moved and his eyebrows were raised involuntarily—
