Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment and stared at Jiang Fuxue: "Xue'er, you split this stone...?"
The Red Blood Sword can cut iron like clay, but it is impossible for an eleven-year-old girl to split such a large stone like this under normal circumstances.
Moreover, the Red Blood Sword weighs more than fifteen kilograms.
Liang Xiao's eyes fell on the grandmother next to him again.
This old woman is just a slap in the face for an enclave gangster.
"ah?"
Jiang Fuxue nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook her head.
Gongsun Yue saw it and held back her smile.
Only grandma was filled with anxiety.
"Didn't my brother say that he wouldn't come back until late at night?" Jiang Fuxue weakly changed the subject.
Liang Xiao explained: "Because today went smoothly, I went to bed early. Now that the overall situation has been decided, I will have more time in the future. Then we can go for spring outings or something."
Spring outing?
Mu Qinxue and others' beautiful eyes lit up, looking forward to it.
Xiahou Qingyi looked at Liang Xiao passionately.
She had seen Liang Xiao beheading Gong Yang Lei in the street.
If she were to come, she could easily decapitate Gongyang Lei with a red blood sword.
But the sword in Liang Xiao's hand is just an ordinary sword...
Can his swordsmanship be comparable to that of his mentor?
Liang Xiao sat down and chatted with everyone again.
"Brother Liang Xiao, the Tsing Yi hero and I are very curious as to what kind of swordsmanship you have." Gongsun Yue asked tentatively.
The Martial Saint was good at fighting with long weapons. His swordsmanship back then was at best first-class, and it was mostly because he shot quickly enough.
Liang Xiao's swordsmanship was said by Jiang Fuxue to be the best in the world.
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "The way of life and death! The battlefield is dangerous, and everything is centered on killing the enemy efficiently. There is no routine, just quickness, accuracy and ruthlessness."
Xiahou Qingyi and Gongsun Yue were thoughtful.
Mu Qinxue's eyes flashed.
He talked about his swordsmanship without showing any arrogance or confidence, as if he was accustomed to it.
Xiahou Qingyi walked back to his room, took out the box containing the four sentences Liang Xiao gave him, and put it on the table together with the note he wrote.
[I feel ashamed and hope that Marquis Lanling will dedicate these four sentences to the Holy One or Prime Minister Zhuge. 】
Everyone was stunned after reading the note.
Liang Xiao said: "You deserve it. After all, even His Majesty and Prime Minister Zhuge are full of praise for you!"
Xiahou Qingyi was shocked and felt even more guilty.
The imperial court did grant her certain privileges, such as taking Beihu's money and luggage for herself.
But she once sold part of the armor to the Gongsun family.
Other girls also advised Xiahou Qingyi to put it away.
Xiahou Qingyi just shook his head and pushed the four sentences back to Liang Xiao, refusing to accept them no matter what.
"Okay." Liang Xiao smiled helplessly, put away the box, walked to the stone table next to him, and began to grind the ink.
Gongsun Yue glanced at Liang Xiao resentfully.
This is a great opportunity to keep Xiahou Qingyi. Even if Xiahou Qingyi really deserves it, wouldn't it be better to just give it to her?
Xiahou Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the box containing four sentences with some reluctance.
But she understood that this should not belong to her.
"Brother is writing!"
Jiang Fuxue's cheers attracted everyone to follow him.
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Liang Xiao wrote a poem in cursive.
Poem title: "Reciting the Sword"!
【Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tested. Today I am showing you to you, who has any injustice? 】
Liang Xiao looked at Xiahou Qingyi and said, "Then please accept this song."
"Taking the perspective of a swordsman to describe his heroic ambitions is in line with Qing Yi, the red-blooded swordsman!" Mu Qinxue couldn't help but clapped her hands in praise.
There are only four sentences, vigorous and powerful, and the edge of each word is like the edge of a sword, which deeply attracted Xiahou Qingyi's eyes.
Xiahou Qingyi came back to her senses and was a little frightened again, shaking her head repeatedly.
"If you don't accept it, it will be my turn to feel guilty." Liang Xiao said with a smile.
Jiang Fuxue and others also urged.
Xiahou Qingyi hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage, nodded, and bowed deeply to Liang Xiao.
After putting away the new poem, Xiahou Qingyi's heart was beating fast.
This poem was written in her heart.
She had been learning swordsmanship for more than ten years, and later she wanted to give the Red Blood Sword to Liang Xiao, but Liang Xiao did not accept it.
Everyone was sitting in the courtyard, and Liang Xiao also talked about "The List of Gods" in his leisurely mood. The girls only found it refreshing and listened to it intoxicated.
In the Dongye family's mansion, Dongye Xuanji, the head of the family, also received the news that Liang Xiao funded the school.
"What do you think, brother?" Higashikata asked.
Dongye Luoyue, who was serving tea obediently at the side, was even more ashamed.
Liang Xiao was willing to provide funds to support the running of schools in the Taishou Mansion. Those aristocratic families, including their own, the Dongye clan, used to have a monopoly on knowledge and ran schools for the common people, only teaching them a few words.
Dongye Xuanji pondered for a moment and said: "You don't have to bother dad with everything. How about we contribute four thousand taels to support Marquis Lanling in running a school? I have a vague feeling that Marquis Lanling is playing a big game. This is our further statement of stance." Opportunity."
Dongye Hongji nodded and said with a smile: "That's what I meant. If my eldest brother has such an awareness, I can feel free to go to the capital to work!"
Dongye Xuanji smiled and sighed in his heart.
The Higashino family's wealth is far less than that of those big families, but investing four thousand taels won't be a heartache.
Funding to run a school is a perfect opportunity for them to express their stance, from money to attitude, everything is in place.
Dongye Hongji is also full of expectations.
On behalf of the Higashino clan, I am about to go to the capital to accept a promotion.
I just don’t know what official promotion I can get.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Beijing Sugar House transported a new batch of sugar to Yanzhou, which was enough to meet the amount Liang Xiao promised to provide to the horse merchants in the Western Regions.
After counting the last batch of sugar, the horse merchants from the Western Regions headed by Zhali had tears in their eyes. They knelt down in the direction of the prefect's mansion and kissed the grass under their knees to show their gratitude.
There were Persian businessmen in the Guanlong area. After tasting the white sugar, they were full of praise.
Honey is extremely expensive in Persia and can only be found once in a while. The price of this kind of white sugar is much lower than that of honey. It will definitely open up sales in Persia and even the more distant Roman Empire!
Zhali went to the prefect's house and promised Liang Xiao: "We swear to heaven: after returning to the Western Regions, we will tell everyone along the way the kindness of the Emperor of Zhou and Lanlinghou! Moreover, we also witnessed with our own eyes how Lanlinghou was Yanzhou has brought order out of chaos, and the lives of the people of Yanzhou are prospering because of the efforts of Marquis Lanling!"
In return, Zhali donated 10,000 taels of silver to the Zhou court on behalf of horse merchants in the Western Regions.
In exchange of courtesy, Liang Xiao also promised to arrange for soldiers to escort them to the Guanlong area along the way.
After arriving at Guanlong, it was Zhali's business to establish a good relationship with the nobles of Guanlong with the help of the documents from the Zhou Dynasty.
That night, Dongye Hongji personally took a box of banknotes and went to the prefect's mansion.
Liang Xiao received the notice in advance and sat in the lobby to wait.
After Dongye Hongji stated his intention, he generously presented four thousand taels of silver notes.
"On behalf of the people of Yanzhou, I would like to thank the Dongye family for their generous donation!" Liang Xiaozuo said with a bow.
"I'm just ashamed. Marquis Lanling should have been as enlightened as he was!" Higashikata Higashikata was humble and couldn't help but ask, "Marquis Lanling, I am about to go to Beijing to take up a post, but the imperial court has not yet given a clear notice of appointment... ...If Marquis Lanling knows, can you tell me something?"
Liang Xiao looked at Dongye Hongji with a smile and said, "As expected, it's the Minister of Household Affairs."
"Second grade, Minister of Household Affairs??" Higashino Hongji was shocked and lost his voice.
