The speaker is intentional, and the listener is even more intentional.

Liang Xiao was just here and was alert everywhere. He had to think about it for a long time. Now he was trapped between the emperor and the King of Huainan, so he didn't dare to be careless. When he heard Dongfang Shuo's words, he immediately heard the meaning of it.

This is not a coincidence, but a long-term plan. Dongfang Shuo's appearance was not a whim, but a part of a plan.

Liang Xiao smiled, handed the bow to Tu Niuer, then put the arrow to the sleeves (arrow sleeves), and walked towards the hall with Dongfang Shuo. Although he was seven feet and four inches, he was under great pressure when he stood with Dongfang Shuo, who was nine feet and three inches.

Suddenly, he thought of a question: Will Liu Che treat Dongfang Shuo as an actor all his life, be a psychological reversal effect after being oppressed? Looking at such a learned man, tall and mighty man, and dwarf, he will feel an inexplicable sense of joy.

"How long has Brother Dongfang been to Chang'an?"

"It's been more than two years." Dongfang Shuo rubbed his stomach and sighed: "I can't even fill my stomach, and I can't do anything."

"Brother Dongfang is a close minister of the emperor. How many people can never achieve glory in their entire lives? Brother Dongfang has realized it now. What else can I regret?"

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Liang Xiao: "There are so many people around the emperor, including heroes like Li Danghu, eunuchs like Guo Sheren, and many dwarfs for people to enjoy. Not everyone will feel glorious."

"Brother Dongfang is extremely wise and has both civil and military skills, so they are not comparable to them." Liang Xiao looked at Dongfang Shuo with a smile and said half-jokingly: "But Brother Dongfang, sometimes too much is not enough."

"What?" Dongfang Shuo didn't understand for a moment.

"I won't talk about Brother Dongfang's intelligence. Not to mention Chang'an, even the entire man can surpass you. If you are too smart, it will make people feel ashamed and stay away from him. Brother Dongfang's might is more likely to be afraid. Don't talk about it, even if the emperor lets you be a entourage like Li Danghu, you can't pick a suitable mount, right?"

Dongfang Shuo laughed. He not only understood Liang Xiao's comfort, but also understood Liang Xiao's meaning, knew that Liang Xiao had heard his reminder and knew who the so-called Pingyang Hou might be. Everyone was tacitly aware of it and looked at each other and laughed.

"Does that brother have such fear?"

"Only the real strong people have the confidence to join the strong." Liang Xiao kept it a secret. "Besides, Brother Dongfang has no threat to me, so why should I be afraid?"

"You should still be a little afraid." Dongfang Shuo reminded: "Chang'an is where the emperor lives, and the powerful is everywhere in the streets, and it is definitely not comparable to the Jiangdu Kingdom. Not to mention the prince of the Jiangdu King, even if the Jiangdu King himself comes to the capital, you must be cautious, let alone you and me."

Liang Xiaoheshou agreed. Dongfang Shuo's words were a friendly reminder. Even Liu Jian could make him leave his hometown. When he arrived in Chang'an, there were more people than Liu Jianniu. It would be a good thing to mess with anyone. If he really wanted to cause trouble, the emperor might not even be as good as Zheng at that time, and he might not be willing to stand up for him.

"Thank you, Brother Dongfang, for your reminder. Who is the person you cannot mess with the most in Chang'an City now?"

"The most unprovoked are of course the relatives of the two empress dowagers." Dongfang Shuo habitually rolled up his sleeves, turned his fingers to count the powerful people in Chang'an City. "The Dou family of the Empress Dowager, the Chen family of the Dou family of the Empress Dowager, the Wang family of the Empress Dowager, and the Tian family of the Tian family. These are the hottest powerful people in Chang'an City today. When you see them, you can hide as far as you can..."

Listening to Dongfang Shuo's familiar explanation of the powerful people in Chang'an, Liang Xiao suddenly felt a strange feeling. If the powerful people in Jiangdu were small slopes like Shugang, then the powerful people in Chang'an City were a high mountain. The ones entrenched at the top of this mountain were not even the relatives of the emperor, but the relatives of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. The emperor's confidants could only rank third.

The Dou family is an old honor, and the Empress Dowager Dou is like a mountain, not only standing in front of the emperor, but also pressing on the top of the entire Chang'an City.

The Wang family and the Tian family were upstarts. With the new emperor ascended the throne, the former queen was upgraded to the empress dowager. The Wang family and the Tian family also reached the top, reaching the peak, and ready to launch an attack on the Dou family at any time.

The Queen Chen family has both the remaining power of Dou and the infinite bright future. It should not be underestimated as well.

As for the others, they were just spectators. Although Liu Fei, the King of Jiangdu, was the son of the late emperor and his brother, he was nothing to go to Chang'an. No wonder Liu Jian became soft after being threatened by Zheng's two words at that time.

"Brother Dongfang, there are too many powerful people in Chang'an City, and I often get blamed. I want to go to the border to serve. What do you think?"

"Play at the border? Ha--" Dongfang Shuo laughed exaggeratedly: "Brother, you are not scared to death, are you? Go to the border to play and one day you will make a name for yourself? Even if your archery skills are amazing, you can't stop the pen of the sword and pen official."

Liang Xiao smiled. He also knew that the further away from the center of power, the harder it was to be rich, but he knew better that with his personality and background, it would be difficult for him to stand out in Chang'an, and maybe one day it would cause trouble. When he came to Chang'an, he did not expect to be an official in the court like Dongfang Shuo. Dongfang Shuo had a lot of knowledge, and no matter how bad he was, he could be an advisor. He only had a pair of ape arms, and his only way out was military merits.

He was not like Wei Qing, who had sisters to rely on, and he could only rely on his own efforts. He could have chosen to rely on Wei Qing, but when he thought of Wei Qing's later experience, he gave up this idea.

Is it unreliable to rely on others, or to be realistic by yourself.

This is also the reason why he mentioned the Huns to "Master of Pingyang". The stupid bird flew first. He wanted to intervene before the big counterattack against the Huns began, accumulate military merits and seize the initiative.

"No matter what, if Brother Dongfang has the chance, please give me a message in front of the emperor." Liang Xiao said earnestly.

Dongfang Shuo regretted it a little. He felt that he had said too much, which scared Liang Xiao so much that he wanted to escape from Chang'an and go to the border.

After a full meal, Dongfang Shuo ate half of the breakfast alone. Finally, he had a round stomach. He took the three thousand coins given by Liang Xiao and left with his stomach. He wanted to redeem his sword. His girlfriend Hu Xijun stayed to talk to Mama Liang.

After hearing this, Liang Xiao realized that Dongfang Shuo and Hu Xijun had no engagement at all. They just lived in the same relationship for a year. When the time came, Dongfang Shuo would find another beautiful girl, and Hu Xijun would also seek a way out with Dongfang Shuo's gifts, and he has been a passerby since then.

Liang Xiao was very surprised. Not only was Dongfang Shuo's unruly, but he was also surprised by the confidence of women in the Han Dynasty. When talking about her future, Hu Xijun was very calm and did not worry about her future at all. In fact, she really didn't need to worry. It was normal for women in the Han Dynasty to remarry. Even the current empress dowager has remarried, let alone a foul.

Just as Liang Xiao was feeling that the Han people were open, a guest came outside the door. A thin middle-aged man walked in and looked at Liang Xiao up and down, tugging at the corner of his mouth with a smile.

"You are Liang Xiao from Jiangdu? I heard that your mother is very good at knitting."

When Liang Xiao heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "The guest is a reward. My mother is indeed good at weaving brocades, but now she has no eyesight and has not weaving brocades for a long time."

The man raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "Do you know who wants it?"
