Chapter 1656 Entering Liangyuan

Yao Yuanguang had no interest in the invitation from King Huainan. Having dealt with the royal family of the Han Dynasty before, Yao Yuanguang knew how difficult and troublesome these people were.

Moreover, compared with the Han Dynasty court in Chang'an City, the royal court of Huainan Kingdom is undoubtedly a level lower.

If possible, Yao Yuanguang hopes Zhang Xuezhou will try a different approach.

"No way." Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and refused: "I know the Lord of the Holy Land you are looking for. I also know some of her details and even have some connections with her, but I can't tell you easily!"

"You should want to be more than just a recommender to King Huainan. What do you want?" Yao Yuanguang asked in a low voice.

"Only if you are willing to go to Huainan will I tell you what you need!" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"goodbye!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou was unmoved, Yao Yuanguang left very decisively without even turning his head.

"You're not in a hurry, and neither am I!"

Thinking of the people of Zhangjiazhuang who were imprisoned in Xishi Mountain by King Huainan, Zhang Xuezhou could only take a deep breath as a response to Yao Yuanguang.

Yao Yuanguang used psychological tactics on him, and Zhang Xuezhou was also an expert in this area.

Now it depends on whose matter is more important and who can't afford to delay.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't guess Yao Yuanguang's behavior, and Yao Yuanguang didn't understand that Zhang Xuezhou just wanted to save people.

As the Beishan Mountain is a place for making armor, weapons, making coins, refining medicine, and cultivating medicinal herbs, these places are where the common people in Huainan compete to work.

If it weren't for the lack of freedom and being used as a human medicine by King Huainan and others, Zhang Xuezhou would even feel that working in Xishi Mountain was not bad and was a good place to make a living.

As long as they don't use it for medicinal purposes, the people of Zhangjiazhuang will be relatively safe in Xishi Mountain.

The rescue of Zhang Chong and You Rong fulfilled one of Zhang Xuezhou's biggest wishes, and he was able to remain calm at this time.

"Let's go. We'll spend the night at Suiyang Post Station, then we'll go to Zhao and spend another night there, and then we'll enter Bohai County!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved to Gongsun Hong, then stepped onto his mount.

He raised his whip and rode away, followed by Gongsun Hong, who was full of fighting spirit.

The two men's mounts raised clouds of dust, forcing Yao Yuanguang, who was walking gracefully, to wave his sleeves to block it.

"Bah, you little thief are more patient than me. It seems that you really don't have anything important to ask me for help!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou and Gongsun Hong riding away without looking back, Yao Yuanguang spat a mouthful of dust and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

Colleagues are all enemies. Yao Yuanguang feels that Zhang Xuezhou has never given him peace of mind.

If possible, just like when he was driven out of Yangxin County by Zhang Xuezhou, Yao Yuanguang didn't want to see this nephew.

"Li Hongzhen should discipline his own disciples and stop bothering his elders all the time!"

As Yao Yuanguang complained about Hong Ku, he couldn't help but think about his only fellow disciple.

"I wonder if he has managed to stay stable in the Yedihe Holy Land?"

One side took refuge in the Immortal Court, the other side took refuge in the holy land of Yide River where the Taoist master was, and Zhang Xuezhou took refuge in the Han Dynasty court.

Everyone in the Xiangmen School has his own destination and must have his own goals.

If you want to control your opponent, you must find out what he wants.

For example, if Yao Yuanguang is seeking an elixir of longevity, if someone can provide a longevity elixir that is guaranteed to be effective and can also protect his life, then it will not be a problem for Yao Yuanguang to defect.

As long as Yao Yuanguang figures out what Zhang Xuezhou wants, it will be easy for him to control Zhang Xuezhou, instead of having to engage in bargaining like now.

In the game with Zhang Xuezhou where both sides had their own needs, he took the lead in launching an offensive, but he never knew that Zhang Xuezhou's counterattack was even more fierce.

He could also let Zhang Xuezhou see his back, so as long as he changed his mind, he could call him back, but Zhang Xuezhou just rode away on his horse, raising a cloud of dust, and he couldn't catch up with him even if he stretched his legs.

In this game, Yao Yuanguang felt that he had lost badly, so he still had to ask Zhang Xuezhou for help.

Yao Yuanguang did not think that Zhang Xuezhou's gaming level was higher. He felt that it was because Zhang Xuezhou's demands were not enough that his offensive was ineffective.

But although he lost the psychological game, Yao Yuanguang felt that he did not suffer any loss. After all, just by doing a simple test, he had already figured out that what Zhang Xuezhou wanted would not be too troublesome.

If he wins, Yao Yuanguang will take the initiative. If he loses, Yao Yuanguang will know that Zhang Xuezhou's demands are not high.

Both the former and the latter worked, and Yao Yuanguang's slightly changed expression finally returned to calm, and then he approached Sui Yang City with the waving of his sleeves.

"Come to think of it, I can still stay in room 273!"

Zhang Xuezhou submitted the official documents to Suiyang Post Station, while Gongsun Hong could only find a temporary inn nearby for accommodation as usual.

There was no official document, and he was not one of Zhang Xuezhou's followers. His mount was different from the description in the official document. Even if Gongsun Hong was a great cultivator, he had no right to stay at Sui Yang Post Station.

Zhang Xuezhou accompanied Gongsun Hong to look around the area. After the inn was full, he finally remembered that he still had a place to stay.

"What's Room 273?" Gongsun Hong asked.

"Room 273 of Liangyuan!"

Although King Liang Liu Wu had passed away for several years, Liang Garden was not demolished and was continued by Liu Mai, who later inherited the title of King Liang.

As long as they hold the Liangyuan Order, many Liangyuan guests can still enter Liangyuan to live.

Zhang Xuezhou spent a very short time in Liangyuan and did not have any great abilities, but he did have a Liangyuan Order.

After rummaging around in the bag, Zhang Xuezhou also found this little item that provided him with free food and lodging.

"Let's go, let's go," Zhang Xuezhou said, "Let's not go back to the post station, let's stay in Liangyuan for a night!"

"I didn't realize you had this ability," Gongsun Hong said enviously, "People like me can't even enter Liangyuan!"

"You just don't want to get involved with Liang State," Zhang Xuezhou said, "If you want to go in, just raise your hand!"

"Nonsense!"

Gongsun Hong laughed.

But what Zhang Xuezhou said was not wrong. As long as Gongsun Hong put aside his pride, it would not be difficult for him to enter Liangyuan.

Gongsun Hong was happy to communicate with learned people in Liangyuan, but he did not want to be labeled as a vassal of King Liang, lest he would have difficulty living within Confucianism and be attacked by others. There was no problem for him to temporarily live in Liangyuan with Zhang Xuezhou this time.

The two men strode forward and arrived at the entrance of Liangyuan a quarter of an hour later.

Compared to the reign of King Liang Liu Wu, Liang Garden at this time was less lively, with only a few dozen lights flickering to indicate that there were people in the room.

There were no lights in the houses in the front row of Liangyuan.

Not only Sima Xiangru left, but apparently many Liangyuan guests also left.

Zhang Xuezhou thought about how a few years ago, the guests of Liangyuan were lying on the wall to watch the hustle and bustle of the palace. He couldn't help but feel that everything had changed after the passage of time.

"Although Liangyuan is nice, it's not a place we want to stay in!"

Gongsun Hong muttered something and let Zhang Xuezhou hand over the sign.

The Liangyuan Ling, who is further behind, is also a Liangyuan guest, and his status is not something that a gatekeeper can reach.

After verifying the authenticity of the Liangyuan Order, Gongsun Hong followed Zhang Xuezhou into Liangyuan, which is known as the "secret place on earth".

"The palaces and temples are connected, and there are rare fruits and trees, rare birds and animals, all of which are present!"

Less than a hundred steps into Liang Garden, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but sigh at the scenery of Liang Garden.

Liangyuan represents the ultimate in luxury, and it was built with the enormous wealth that was plundered.

Liangyuan was built with the combined efforts of thousands of people. If one is enjoying it, it is undoubtedly a comfortable place. But if one is being exploited, this place is just a pile of people's fat and blood.

Gongsun Hong could only lament that it was difficult for the world to see through the connection, and that people regarded it as the achievement of King Liang alone, and even felt proud of it.

"Mr. Gongsun, please stay!"

Gongsun Hong just sighed a few words, then saw the door of a guest room was opened and someone came out to greet him.

No one questioned Zhang Xuezhou, the main guest of Liangyuan, but Gongsun Hong, who was staying there for free, was recognized.

"Zou Yang from the Zongheng School?"

Gongsun Hong looked at the person who came out several times before he recognized the other person's identity.
