Dongfang Shuo got out of the car and walked up the long mountain road, sighing as he walked. "I have to let Deng Guobin come and install a pulley, and pull my car directly to the top of the mountain. What if it snows and slips step by step, I will fall down."

Liang Ming pressed the sword and followed Dongfang Shuo behind him, looking around with vigilance. Dongfang Shuo did not hear his response, looked back at him and smiled, "Why, what did you find?"

"The Wusun people's vigilance has been strengthened."

Dongfang Shuo chuckled, full of contempt. "Lie Jiaomi was scared out of fear, but refused to give in. Strengthening the alert will only reveal his weakness. So what if he has a 100,000 elite riding, a coward is a coward. When he encounters a strong man, he can only hide in his shell and dare not attack."

Liang Ming also smiled. "That's right, when the champion Hou fought in Dingnanshan, all countries in the Western Regions might be scared out of fear. Lie Jiaomi was a little nervous, which was expected. Sir, when will the champion Hou come to Tianshan?"

"I'll come, but I have to wait a moment." Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "So I have to spend some time with Lie Jiaomi."

The two of them were talking and laughing, and walked along the winding mountain road. The Wusun soldiers they met all bowed respectfully to them, their eyes full of unconcealed awe. The two of them walked leisurely in the garden, as if they were going home. The Wusun officials who came to greet them followed behind with their hands, as if they were their followers.

When he arrived in front of the city, Lie Jiaomi led a few followers to stand on the side of the road. When he saw Dongfang Shuo, he took a small step and came to Dongfang Shuo. "Mr. Dongfang, thank you all the way."

"It's okay, it's okay." Dongfang Shuo rubbed his hands. "It's just a little cold. It seems like this, it's going to snow, right?"

"It should be soon." Lie Jiaomi smiled relaxedly. "It's like this in the mountains. The snow falls early. Sometimes it snows in August and September. The mountains are closed for half a year and will not be completely melted until early summer of the next year. It is indeed inconvenient and cannot compare to the Central Plains."

"The mountain is closed for half a year, although it is lonely, it is safe." Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "Even Gods will not march on snowy days, right?"

"That's, that's it." Lie Jiaomi smiled even happier. He knew what Dongfang Shuo was doing. Before that, he had received news that Tianlang died in a battle and that the countries in the South Mountain were controlled by Liang Xiao. He was not sure whether Liang Xiao would bring troops north, but considering the seasonal factors, it is estimated that the possibility is not high. As Dongfang Shuo said, once the mountain is blocked with heavy snow, even a god can do nothing.

In this way, he can have more than half a year to think slowly.

"Oh, except for that lunatic Liang Xiao, I have never seen anyone marching in a heavy snowy day." Dongfang Shuo shook his head and signaled Liang Ming to take down Tianlang's head and hand it to Lie Jiaomi. "I have seen everything I should see in Tianlang's head. Kunmo is the last one, so keep it for collection. He took away your ground bow, and you must hate him."

Lie Jiaomi's cheeks twitched, and his hands trembled. It was not because Tianlang was just Wu Dan, but because Dongfang Shuo's warning that seemed casual but was actually very threatening.

Liang Xiao is a madman, and no one can march in heavy snow, but Liang Xiao will. Back then, he marched in heavy snow and caught up with Wu Dan. In one battle, he defeated Wu Dan's old man and Wu Dan himself was seriously injured. Now, Wu Dan's head is in front of him, and the Han people obviously know who he is. Do you still understand the meaning of this?

Will Liang Xiao come to attack Akagu City?

Although it is impossible from a rational perspective, Lie Jiaomi still dares not be careless. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but is afraid of one, what if Liang Xiao goes crazy again? If Chigu City is not prepared at all, he might be able to successfully attack him.

We also need to be more vigilant and prevent it. Lie Jiaomi made a secret decision in his heart, but the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Sir, please, sir. The banquet is ready. Please drink a few drinks to get rid of the cold."

"Okay, okay." Dongfang Shuo rubbed his hands with satisfaction, and his index finger moved.

After entering the city and coming to the palace, Arikan stood on the steps to greet him, accompanied by several maids. Liejiaomi handed over the head of Tianlang to her and looked at her specially. "Carefully keep the head of Tianlang."

Aruikan was stunned, tears filled her eyes. She held the wooden box, feeling sad, but she didn't dare to cry loudly. Dongfang Shuo saw it and smiled. "What's wrong with the Yan family? I heard that Tianlang was originally a Hun. Could it be that you know him?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Arikan hurriedly covered up: "It's just that he stole the ground bow. Although he has been killed by the Champion Hou, the ground bow cannot be returned. Sir, can you discuss with the Champion Hou and return the ground bow to us?"

"Yes." Dongfang Shuo agreed. "But, what's the use of keeping the sky bow and the earth bow? Can anyone pull it open?"

Liejiaomi and Aruikan were speechless.

"If someone can pull it open, it may be useful to keep it. All the countries in the Western Regions admire warriors. A heavenly wolf who can open the earth bow can conquer the Nanshan Mountain. If anyone can open the sky bow, they may also be able to unify the Western Regions. But if there are no such warriors, keep the sky bow, and the earth bow will cause trouble for themselves. Have you ever heard of it? Every man is innocent and has a sin."

Lie Jiaomi looked embarrassed and exchanged a look with Aruikan. He nodded, but did not accept Dongfang Shuo's words. He just invited Dongfang Shuo to the table enthusiastically. Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo didn't say anything. What he wanted was to keep beating Lie Jiaomi, but he didn't expect to make Lie Jiaomi bow his head with just one or two words. If it were so simple, he would have done Lie Jiaomi long ago.

The three of them sang and drank a few glasses of wine. The embarrassment just now turned into invisible. Lie Jiaomi originally wanted to have a good chat with Dongfang Shuo. Liang Xiao calmed down Nanshan. How to deal with him in the future will be discussed sooner or later. However, he was confused by Dongfang Shuo's words and had no confidence. He was so worried that he wanted to talk about conditions with Dongfang Shuo. He was depressed and left the seat halfway and went to check his defense.

Aruikan was not in a good mood, so he barely drank a few glasses of wine with Dongfang Shuo, and ordered the maids to greet Dongfang Shuo well, so he wanted to get up and leave.

Dongfang Shuo waved his hand and signaled Aruikan to stay. Aruikan frowned slightly. She had just received Wu Dan's head and was indeed not in the mood to flirt with Dongfang Shuo. No matter what, Dongfang Shuo and Liang Xiao were in the same group. Compared with others, he was Liang Xiao's disciple and was closer.

"The Tianlang is Wu Dan, right?" Dongfang Shuo made it straight to the point.

"What did you say?" Arikan's face changed drastically.

"Okay, stop pretending, I know, you know, Liang Xiao knows, Lie Jiaomi knows. Tianlang is Wudan, and the earth bow is not stolen by him, but by you. Tianlang can control Nanshan, and the help of you Wusun people is indispensable."

Aruikan stood there, holding his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, his fingernails pierced into his palms, and his heart hurt. But she didn't dare to be careless. She had been hiding this secret for so long, but she still didn't hide it from the Han people.

"I know Wu Dan is your younger brother. If you don't feel comfortable with me now, I can accept it. You can cry for a while and calm down before talking. Anyway, I want to stay here for two days."

"What do you want to say?" Arikan's voice trembled, and a bit of ferocity appeared in his eyes.

"It is a forced one to kill Wu Dan. If you don't kill him, the Nanshan Mountain will be unfair. Liang Junhou has buried his body properly and erected a monument for him. The head level is passed down to the countries, and the last stop is Wusun, which is also convenient for you to leave his head level for you. You can bury him well. Although he was defeated in the end, this perseverance and courage are worthy of admiration."

Dongfang Shuo raised his wine glass, which seemed to be toasting Arikan and Wu Dan. "Respect the Warriors."

Arui could bear the tears that had been rushing out for a long time. She sat down again, holding Wu Dan's head, and burst into tears.

Dongfang Shuo looked at it silently without saying a word. Until Aruikan cried, he said, "Do you hate Liang Xiao?"

Arikan shook his head. "No hatred. Although my father and two younger brothers died at his hands and Hun Xie's army was destroyed at his hands, I don't hate him. He won on the battlefield and was open and righteous. He was a real warrior. My father and younger brother could die at his hands and would not be ridiculed."

She raised her head, tears streaming down her face, but she was extremely determined. "I only regret that I am not good at martial arts, otherwise, I will challenge him personally to avenge my father and brother."

"I think he will accept it happily." Dongfang Shuo raised his wine glass again. "Salute to the Warriors."

"Respect the Warriors." Arikan also raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

"We are not afraid of challenges, but we are not wary. We are more willing to make friends." Dongfang Shuo stood up, walked behind Arikan, and gently pressed his hands on Arikan's shoulders. "We also advocate warriors, but the reasons for advocating warriors are different. Your warriors like to plunder the weak, while our warriors protect the weak."

Aruikan lowered his head. "Do you want me to persuade Liejiaomi to pay tribute to the great man?"

"No, I don't care about Liejiaomi's life and death. He is Kunmo from Wusun, and he has the right to make his own choices. What I care about is you. You have lost your father and two younger brothers, and your mother tribe. I don't want you to lose your husband again, or even your children. There are not a few eggs that can survive the collapse of the nest."

Aruikan remained silent. Such things happened every day on the grassland. A tribe was defeated, and men, women, young and old would become slaves. It was normal for them to be killed. The current situation of the Hunxie tribe is an example. If the Wusun lost the country, her family would not have a good end, and it would not be different from ordinary female slaves.

"I'll just say this." Dongfang Shuo patted Aruikan's shoulder. "You should think about it yourself. If you think Liejiaomi is more powerful than your father and more powerful than Tianlang, then you can support him and fight with all your strength. If you think he doesn't have this ability, you should also think about your future. I will stay here for two days and convince Liejiaomi as much as possible. In two days, I will leave."

Arikan nodded. "Okay, I will seriously consider your suggestions."

Night, bedroom.

Dozens of huge butter candles shone brightly in the palace, and the strong fishy smell made Aruikan frown, but Lie Jiaomi still refused to remove one. He stood in front of the huge cowhide map and stood motionless for a long time.

Aruikan sat on a thick leather mattress with her clothes half-closed. A naked female slave knelt beside her, pinching her shoulders and backs for her. She looked at Liejiaomi with a loss in her eyes and a little contempt.

Since Dongfang Shuo came, Lie Jiaomi has been uneasy and even gave up halfway. He got up and looked at the defense map of Chigu City. It seemed that the Han army could appear outside Chigu City at any time.

He was already scared by the Han army. Arikan felt sad. Not only could he not be compared with his father, but he could not be compared with his younger brother Wu Dan, but even his younger brother Hu Lu Gu was three points better than him. Hu Lu Gu had the courage to play against Liang Xiao after all, but Lie Jiaomi was in chaos when he heard Liang Xiao's name.

Aruikan remembered that so far, Liejiaomi had not confronted the Han army head-on.

Can such a person defeat Liang Xiao? Aruikan thinks it is simply a joke.

At some point, Lie Jiaomi turned around and sat cross-legged in front of Aruikan. He lowered his head and stared at Aruikan's eyes. "Do you think I'm very cowardly and unworthy of being the king of Wusun?"

Arikan raised his eyelids and faced Lie Jiaomi's gaze. "What do you think?"

Liejiaomi laughed silently, asked the female slave to bring two glasses of wine and handed them to Arikan. "I know, you must think that I am not as good as your father and Wu Dan, but don't forget that your father is dead, Wu Dan is dead, but I am still alive."

"But because Liang Xiao hasn't come yet, you will die when he comes."

"Everyone will die, but at least I will not die like your father and brother." Lie Jiaomi raised his hand and signaled Arikan to be calm. "Don't rush to refute first. I said this not because I looked down on your father and Wu Dan, but because I know the cunning of the Han people better than them. I thought for a long time before suddenly figured out something."

Arrikan snorted and looked down upon him.

"People say that your father led 4,000 elite cavalry to chase Liang Xiao, but in the end, more than ten Liang Xiao and others cut off their heads. But how many people have visited the battlefield back then? Have you been there? No, I have been there."

"Have you been?"

"Yes, I've been there." Lie Jiaomi laughed silently. "Although your father has four thousand cavalry, in the end, there were only dozens of people around him, not much more than Liang Xiao, and he was lured up the mountain by Liang Xiao. He went up the mountain and fought with the Han people. If your father hadn't been so angry, how could he do such a thing? Even so, he almost killed Liang Xiao."

Arakan held the wine glass, but did not drink a single drink. This was the first time she heard Liejiaomi talk about these things.

"Let's talk about Wu Dan." Lie Jiaomi took a big sip of wine. "Why didn't he wait for Liang Xiao in Ruoqiang, but rushed to fight with Liang Xiao from thousands of miles? The two armies fought, but they had to show their courage and duel with Liang Xiao in front of the formation. Who did he think he was? In this case, why did he bring so many people and wait for so long? He should have gone to duel with Liang Xiao when Liang Xiao first came."

"Do you know, they all die because they gave up their advantages and fell into Liang Xiao's trap." Lie Jiaomi slapped his thigh and laughed out loud. "I don't go anywhere, I'll just wait here, waiting for Liang Xiao to attack the city. Aliusu attacked Chigu City. Now I want to see what Liang Xiao can do to take down my Chigu City. He wants to lure me out? Hehe, don't even think about it. Dongfang Shuo wants to cheat me, there is no way." -
