Chapter 172 Choice and Effort
Huan Yuan looked at Liang Xiao who was bowing on the horse's back and bowing, and was in a very complicated mood and could not speak for a moment.
As soon as Guangling left, Liang Xiao's servant Yan Zhu came to Kuaiji. He went to Wangjiangyi to ambush and attacked Liang Xiao and others. Liang Xiao immediately fought back and shot his shoulder with an arrow. He was still very proud at that time. Liang Xiao improved rapidly, and both the reaction speed and the shooting speed were significantly improved. Therefore, he was not only not angry, but also praised Liang Xiao.
However, as Liang Xiao's performance became more and more exciting, he couldn't laugh.
Especially when he learned that Liang Xiao shot Jing Tian to death.
Originally, this was the place he should be most proud of. Fifty steps away, Liang Xiao shot Jingtian with two arrows through the tent. Even if he had luck, this raid was remarkable.
However, Jingtian's death pushed the conflict between him and Jing Zhao to the point of enlightenment. The pain of losing his son made Jing Zhao lose his mind and confront him everywhere. Jing Zhao's only wisdom was shot out by Liang Xiao's two arrows. Otherwise, with Jing Zhao's experience, it would be impossible to see the danger of retreating along the Songjiang River.
Now, he watched the army as it was defeated, but he had no choice but to do anything. The initiator was the proud disciple in front of him.
Should he praise him or scold him?
Before deciding to go out to the camp to fight Liang Xiao, Huan Yuan made many expectations, but when things came to an end, he couldn't say a word. He was silent for a long time and finally shook his head. "No."
"Master, why is it not good?"
"not good."
"That's because your choice was wrong." Liang Xiao shook the reins and walked closer to Huan Yuan. However, he did not walk to Huan Yuan's car. He was still thirty steps away from the chariot. He stopped. He turned his horse's head and looked at Huan Yuan and others, ready to retreat at any time. "Selecting is more important than hard work. Once you choose the wrong direction, the harder you work, the further you are from the goal."
Seeing Liang Xiao stopping thirty steps away, Huan Yuan felt sad. Liang Xiao refused to approach because he lacked trust in him. Liang Xiao dared to get so close. It was because Zhongliqi had been persuaded by Liang Xiao and would not take action. Otherwise, even if he was thirty steps apart, Zhongliqi would still have the chance to capture Liang Xiao alive.
One is the most proud disciple, the other is the most loyal subordinate. Both of them are unfaithful. Could it be that I am really wrong?
Shouldn't I choose Liu Ju?
"master……"
"You don't need to say more. I'm here today, not discussing the truth with you." Huan Yuan raised his hand and interrupted Liang Xiao. If he continued, he was worried that he would be shaken and would be persuaded by Liang Xiao. "I want to discuss shooting with you."
Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing. "You... are talking about ejaculation with me?"
Huan Yuan was a little embarrassed. He looked stern and said nothing.
Liang Xiao leaned down, lay on the saddle, and looked at Huan Yuan with a smile. "I really want to know, Master, what do you want from me?"
"Why, you gave up?"
"You are my master, how can I beat you?" Liang Xiao curled his lips. "Don't say that I don't have the strength yet. Even if I have it, I will give in to three points. Do you think so?"
"Since you have self-knowledge and know that you are not my opponent, then leave. Don't wander around the camp anymore, so as not to ruin your life."
"That's it?"
"That's it." Huan Yuan coughed: "If you don't listen to my good advice, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between master and apprentice."
Liang Xiao straightened up, raised his hand, plucked the bowstring, and smiled. "Then I won't compete with you."
"What?" Huan Yuan was stunned for a moment.
"I said I won't compare with you." Liang Xiao raised his voice. "I don't accept your conditions." He said, whipping his horse, raising his hands, and laughing loudly. "If you want to take my life, come and catch up with me first."
Huan Yuan was speechless and watched Liang Xiao and others ride away and disappear at the end of the road. Liang Xiao did not take him and ended in a desperate situation. Asking him to chase Liang Xiao is undoubtedly a humiliation. He suddenly felt that he had no choice but to face Liang Xiao, the disciple.
"General, what should I do?" Zhong Lijie coughed and reminded.
"Divide Houyi Camp into two teams, each of you and I will lead one team to protect Your Highness and General Yu Shan respectively." Huan Yuan sighed: "You must never make any mistakes."
...
Liang Xiao rode his horse lightly, and Li Jiao walked side by side with him. "What did your master say?"
"He wants to compete with me."
Li Jiao was surprised. "Really?"
"Well, it seems that his life is not easy. I want to use his sci-fi art to force me to become a gentleman alliance and stay away from their camp." Liang Xiao chuckled softly. "This just means that our riots put a lot of pressure on them. Liu Ju probably couldn't sleep well, so he had to make this bad decision."
Li Jiao's eyes rolled and she laughed. "I'm afraid it's not just Liu Ju, but no general in this camp can sleep well. With you, the archer, who can sleep peacefully? There are dozens of valuable targets, but your master has only one, so it's hard to guard against."
"I only have one master, but we have eleven." Liang Xiao looked at Li Jiao. "You can complete the task without me. Without my master... Hehe, it's a pity that my master's talent has become a personal guard. Liu Ju is really blind. If he doesn't die, who will die?"
Li Jiao was proud, and the men and women beside him laughed in unison, and even Wei Qing showed a relaxed smile. It was great that he could still be at ease with the few and win the more. The doctors were mixed in the crowd, and were infected by the men and women's emotions, and they also smiled.
"It's almost time, we'll go back to Fuboli."
"I'm going back now?" Li Jiao was still unwilling to finish her feelings. She retreated before she could even find a valuable target, and he was unwilling to accept it.
"They are even more nervous when we are not here." Liang Xiao smiled wickedly: "Think about it, my master is looking everywhere, but he can't find us. Will he be suspicious and dare not be careless?"
Li Jiao rolled her eyes and nodded repeatedly. "A Xiao, it makes sense, but you have many ideas. This is like walking in the middle of the night, always doubting someone behind her. The more you think about it, the more you become, the more you fear it. Hehe, interesting, interesting."
Everyone was talking and running towards Fuboli. Along the way, they attacked two more groups of Minyue scouts and returned to Fuboli smoothly.
...
Fuboli is on high alert.
Still a few miles away, Liang Xiao saw the knights looking up. As soon as he saw them, the knights immediately waved the flag in his hand and sent out a signal. Then, more and more people gathered from different directions. Although they did not show any hostility and were just curious, Liang Xiao also felt the tense atmosphere before the battle of Fuboli.
A knight came over and led Liang Xiao and others into the room. They held crossbows and did not wear armor, and the mounts were not considered real war horses. However, compared with the starting pirates, their speed undoubtedly had a qualitative leap.
In a few days, Fuboli was repaired. A wooden gatehouse was added to the inner door, and thick mud was painted outside. The figure holding a crossbow appeared and was faintly visible. Only half of the inner door was left, and only one person could enter and exit. Liang Xiao and others had to get off the horse before they could walk in. There was a row of houses inside the inner door, and about twenty young and strong men were busy. They gathered piles of dry firewood neatly.
On the open space between the houses, a group of men were holding swords, shields, and halberds. They were practicing martial arts. A group of women and half-aged children were watching with various weapons, with their expressions focused. From time to time, people were carrying things, queuing, and walking along the wall in an orderly manner. Seeing Liang Xiao and others, they were all letting them aside and bowing to greet them. Although they didn't speak, their smiles were bright and warm, and they showed indescribable closeness.
The men unconsciously raised their chests and grinned, urging me, and I urging you, showing a little shyness.
Liang Xiao followed the knight to Wu Qianqiu's house, and Wang Xing was standing at the door to greet him. Wang Xing first conveyed Yan Zhu's order and said, "Don't worry, from now on, until the end of the war, I will not go back to the city. If you want to go back, go back, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go back."
Liang Xiao didn't say anything. He was not Wang Xing, so he could not ignore Yan Zhu. If Yan Zhu really had a problem, none of them could escape. Although Yan Zhu was unlikely to act alone, people these days were somewhat impulsive. What if he was eager to make contributions and insisted on coming to the battle personally.
"Zhongqing, are you going back with Brother Qin? The messenger cannot be protected by anyone. If the adults need us to go back, you can send a letter to Fuboli and we will rush back together."
"Why?" Before Wei Qing could speak, Qin Ge was anxious first. With a new horse harness, he could fight with his halberd in close combat. He had just tasted the sweetness of double his combat power. Seeing that the battle was about to come, it was a good opportunity to show his skills. At this time, let him return to Yan Zhu to be a guard, watch Liang Xiao and the others gallop on the battlefield, chasing the death of the north?
Nothing like this is fun.
"Brother Qin, the matter is serious, and there are many opportunities for fighting in the future. It is important to protect the adults now." Liang Xiao advised patiently: "If there is something wrong with the adults, where will the court face be put?"
"I'm so angry." Qin Ge stomped his feet and sighed.
"Haha, I said you don't have to be angry. I'll do your task for you." Li Jiao gloated and patted Qin Ge on the shoulder. "You can't blame A Xiao for this. Who made you a doctor? We can't go back, you must go back."
"When did I blame A Xiao?" Qin Ge shook Li Jiao's hand angrily. "I don't need you to be slandered and righteous. This time I will make you happy first. I will meet you on the battlefield next time and see who is the real master."
"A word is determined, I'll wait for you." Li Jiao was not angry, and she frowned and teased Qin Ge. "Whoever breaks his promise is a dog."
Qin Ge sighed to the sky. "I finally made some money, but I lost a few more people."
The men laughed.
...
Wei Qing and the indignant Qin Ge, Liang Xiao, Li Jiao and Wang Xing urgently negotiated the war.
Wang Xing told Liang Xiao that he had obtained the authorization of Dou Qufei to summon all the people of Wu County to fight. However, because of Yan Zhu's words, a lot of spoils were divided. These spoils were originally stolen from the Wu family by the Minyue people. Now they not only had to snatch them back themselves, but also part of them to ordinary people. They all accumulated a lot of opinions.
"Mr. Yan... isn't he a local? How could he..." Liang Xiao kept provoking Wang Xing's anger.
He no longer hopes to be friends with Yan Zhu. He asked Wei Qing and Qin Ge to go back first. On the one hand, he would evade Yan Zhu and give him a step. On the other hand, he would also arouse Qin Ge's unhappiness. In the future, Qin Ge would definitely complain in front of the emperor and would not let Yan Zhu slander them casually.
"Hmph! He was originally a villain, but he was a little literary. The Lord of the Mansion pity him, so he recommended him as a virtuous person. Unexpectedly, when he was proud, he forgot his own details and showed his might in front of the village party. Even in front of the Lord of the Mansion, he would occasionally show the majesty of the Emperor's envoy. It was ridiculous."
Liang Xiao smiled. "Dou Fujun... didn't say anything?"
"What can the Dou family say? The Dou family is not the Dou family in the past." Wang Xing pointed to it and immediately changed the topic. "Jun Liang, Li Jun, now there is no main force in Wu County, and the power we can rely on is limited. Both of them are young heroes who are familiar with military tactics. I hope they will both worry. If they can help us expel the thief and return the peace of Wu County, the people of Wu County will definitely not forget your great kindness."
Liang Xiao and Li Jiao exchanged a glance and clasped their fists. "Since we have chosen to join the army to fight, defend the people, and kill the thieves and drive away the bandits is a matter of course. However, how to solve this problem of insufficient troops?"-
