Liang Xiao was overjoyed: "Whose one?"

Liu Ling avoided answering. "Is this military strategy only more than two thousand words?"

"Yes, Master Weng has seen this art of war?"

"I've seen it. You're just a broken piece."

Liang Xiao was even more excited. "Honor Weng saw the full text?"

"I don't know if it's the full text, but it's definitely more than you know, with about five or six thousand words. The more than two thousand words you know are just the part of riding, and the rest are formations and sword techniques, and also a qi-sporting technique."

Liu Ling paused and laughed silently, laughing a little strangely. "If you want to practice the sound shooting skills to the level of gods, this Qi-Practice Art is indispensable. Judging from Huan Yuan's strength, he should not know this Qi-Practice Art."

Liang Xiao wanted to speak but stopped. He knew that Liu Ling was fishing again, so he would not easily tell him what she knew. He smiled and did not ask any further. "If I could practice to the level of my master, I would be satisfied."

"Hmph!" Liu Ling turned his head.

...

Several miles south of the campground, on a hill that was not too high but thickly shaded, Liu Che stood on his horse, looked at the bonfire that looked like stars in the distance, and sighed inexplicably. Han Yan gently pedaled and walked to Liu Che. "Does the lord sigh because he cannot enjoy the people?"

Liu Che smiled bitterly. As the emperor, he knew that it was a luxury to have fun with the people. At most, he could only listen to Han Yan's words when the carnival by the water. "Prince Sun, what do you think of Liang Xiao?"

"It's a talent." Han Yan didn't think so. "In some aspects, he is better than General Li's three sons, and even better than General Li himself."

Liu Che looked back at Han Yan with a puzzled look, obviously thinking that Han Yan was suspected of being exaggerated.

"As far as I know, General Li, like everyone else, chooses to defend when he encounters danger and minimizes his losses as much as possible. He usually shoots archery, hits five or six in a hundred steps, or even hits seven or eight. However, in this situation today, it is basically impossible for him to shoot. He would probably not be able to do it if he dares to try like Liang Xiao and shoots an extraordinary arrow."

Han Yan paused for a moment and said, "I can't do it either."

"This is the truth." Liu Che smiled. He turned his horse's head, went down the hill, and drove forward along the forest path. "Let him go to Yanmen."

...

At night, the door was closed and could not go home, so Liang Xiao camped next to the water. Liu Ling provided three tents, Dongfang Shuo, Hu Xijun used one, Liang Maim, Li Rongqing used one, and Liang Xiao used one by himself.

I don’t know if I was cold, but Mama Liang was not in good spirits and didn’t attend the picnic at night. She went into the tent early to rest. Liang Xiao and Liu Ling were not talking to each other, so she went into the tent to visit me and asked Li Rongqing to go out for a while. Li Rongqing refused, but was pushed out by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao closed the door, sat next to my sickbed, and reached out to touch my forehead. Her forehead was not hot and she didn’t look like she had a fever.

"My mother, where is it uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Mama Liang smiled and said, "Maybe I've been idle for too long. I've weaved brocade every day, but I haven't gotten sick. After a few days of idleness, I've gotten sick. Xiaoer, when Deng Guobin prepares a new loom, you'd better ask me for one."

Liang Xiao smiled. "I was not sick before, but it didn't mean I was really sick, I just kept pressing on myself. Mother, you are still young, so you can take this opportunity to take good care of your health. There will be more days to enjoy your happiness in the future. You don't have to worry about money."

Liang Xiao said Liu Ling's new suggestion. Liu Ling accepted Dongfang Shuo's offer of 500 gold, but could not pay it all at once. She had to pay in installments, first pay one hundred gold, and then offered 30% of the profit every year to pay Liang Xiao. Undoubtedly, this would be a huge sum of more than 500 gold, so huge that Liang Xiao didn't dare to accept it.

Of course he understood what Liu Ling meant. Liu Ling just took retreat as an advance and wanted to use this kind of interest to bind him. But he believed that he was right and was not afraid of criticizing him. Moreover, he really needed money in urgent need and could not be tough. After this period, it would be not too late to find an opportunity to reject Liu Ling.

"Xiao'er, a real man can be not rich, but he cannot be noble. He has a low position and a low life, and he has a weak saying. You cannot be satisfied with money, but you have to strive for progress. In two days, you should go find Li Dang's residence and report to Lang's office. If you don't enter the official position, you will be just a white person after all."

"Don't worry, mother, I have already agreed with Li Dangma, and I will report to join the company in two days. Mother, I heard Rongqing say, did you see General Li today?"

Mama Liang was a little unhappy and had no energy. "Yeah, I saw it."

"Do you know General Li?"

Liang Mama raised her eyelids, looked at Liang Xiao, and smiled weakly, "I have seen him, but I don't know him. When we lived in the melon shed in the east of the city, he once passed by the melon field. But he didn't speak at that time. Today, when I got the name, I realized that he was Li Guang, who is famous all over the world."

"Do you admire General Li very much?" Liang Xiao deliberately squeezed his eyes, making Mama Liang happy.

"What are you talking nonsense about, you kid? Who in the world doesn't admire General Li?"

"But I heard from Rongqing that my mother's admiration for General Li is extraordinary. My mother, if you really admire him, I will invite him to visit the house at that time, so you can also take a closer look at him."

"Wordlessly speaking, how could the dignified General Li visit his subordinates' homes at will?" Liang Xiao was indeed amused by Liang Xiao. "If you want to invite him to the banquet, you must at least be close to his official title. Xiaoer, let's talk about it when you become a general."

"My mother, don't worry. I dare not say anything else. I will definitely be a general within ten years. I will invite General Li to be a guest at that time. Mother, you must take good care of yourself. Good days have just begun."

"Xiao'er, my mother is very pleased that you are so ambitious."

Seeing that Mama Liang was in poor spirits, Liang Xiao helped her lie down and tucked the corners of the quilt. Autumn is here, and the night is very cold, and it is extremely cold. He sat next to the couch and watched my mother fall asleep with a smile on her face, and a kind of indescribable warmth rippled in his heart.

After struggling for more than a year, I finally saw a little hope. I just don’t know when that old lady Dou will die. Only when old lady Dou dies can the little emperor show his strength and only a martial artist like him has the opportunity to stand out.

Unexpectedly, he remembered the battle between Huang and Lao Huang and Confucianism. King Liu An of Huainan had compiled "Huainanzi". Is Dong Zhongshu ready to appear on stage? "Spring and Autumn Fanlu" and "Huainanzi", one is a Confucian classic and the other is a collection of Taoism. These two masterpieces were published almost at the beginning of the Wu Emperor's dynasty. It is probably not a coincidence that it was the preparation before the curtain of the Confucian and Taoist dispute began.

Does anyone know that this seemingly peaceful and prosperous era actually gave birth to major changes that could affect the Chinese nation for two thousand years.

Liang Xiao walked out of the tent, sat in front of the tent, drinking alone, sighing at the intriguing history. At this moment, Tu Niuer led Pang Shuo over. "A Xiao, Dahu found that person, his mother's, Liu Jian is really in a state of gloom."
