Su Liang narrowed her eyes and gently shook the wine glass in her hand, with a faint smile on her lips, "Why didn't General Nian ask him what his relationship with me is in front of the fourth prince? Do you think the fourth prince would think that?

Are you thinking of me, or of peace?"

Nian Jincheng's face darkened, he subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice, "What are you talking nonsense about?"

Su Liang chuckled, "It was obviously General Nian who started talking nonsense."

Nian Jincheng stared at Su Liang and said coldly, "You were just pretending!"

Su Liang looked at the person who appeared not far away and said in a soft and indifferent voice, "I would like to give General Nian a piece of advice. The matter between me and Ningjing has nothing to do with you. Stay away from us."

Mu Luo walked over with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

"Prince Xing. I want to know if his health has improved since he arrived in the capital." Su Liang's face remained as usual.

Nian Jincheng said, "I didn't expect to see Miss Su here. I almost forgot that Crown Prince Xing asked me to bring some books to her."

Just as Nian Li came over, Nian Jincheng asked him to bring the cloth bag given by Xing Yusheng.

Su Liang guessed that Nian Jincheng didn't say anything at first, maybe he planned to go to Sujiacun secretly to find them?

But if Mu Luo discovers this kind of thing, it will be very troublesome.

After the previous two incidents, although there was no evidence, Mu Luo had always suspected that Ning Jing was the mysterious person who kept secret.

But Ning Jing's current identity is perfect. Mu Luo only guessed that he was hiding his strength and would not connect him with the missing Gu Ling.

But if it was discovered that Gu Ling's only friend Nian Jincheng had an unusual relationship with Ning Jing, it would be impossible not to become suspicious given Mu Luo's shrewdness.

Just like this year when Jincheng took out the book and crossed Minglu in front of Mu Luo, he would have known that Xing Yusheng and Su Liang were friends and would not have thought much about it. He had seen Xing Yusheng send Qi Yan to give Su Liang gifts.

.

Nian Jincheng handed the cloth bag to Su Liang, but Mu Luo reached out to intercept it and asked with a smile, "Miss Su, do you mind if I take a look?"

Su Liang shook his head and said please.

There should be no letters in the things that Xing Yusheng asked outsiders to bring to her. Even if there were letters, Mu Luo would not ask to open them and read them.

"This must be Mr. Qin's treasure. He has collected many ancient books and refuses to lend them to others." Mu Luo flipped through it and picked up the sachet in the cloth bag, looking surprised, "This is also a gift from Prince Xing.

For Miss Su?"

Nian Jincheng shook his head, "No. This is a gift from Prince Xing's cousin, Miss Qin, to Miss Su. She said it was made by her own hands."

"I see, otherwise I would suspect that Prince Xing is pursuing Miss Su." Mu Luo said half-jokingly.

When Nian Jincheng heard this, he felt weird. Why did it sound like Su Liang was not married yet? Why did they all call her "girl"?

Mu Luo asked Nian Jincheng again, "Do you know Ning Jing, the seventh son of the Xunyang Ning family?"

Nian Jincheng shook his head, "I've heard of it, but I don't know it."

"He is Miss Su's sworn brother, and he also lives in Bei'an County now. Mr. Ning is quite talented. He took the title of Crown Prince Xing to take part in the college examination and won the title," Mu Luo said.

The word "sworn brother" confused Nian Jincheng for a moment, but he soon realized that he had misunderstood.

When he saw Ning Jing and Su Liang visiting each other, Su Liang said personally that she was willing to marry Ning Jing.

Nian Jincheng thought that even if the marriage was fake, they would either continue or both of them would disappear and live somewhere else.

Before coming to Bei'an County, he learned that Su Liang was still in Sujia Village. Nian Jincheng thought that she and Ning Jing were really married. So when he saw her and Mu Luo together, he questioned her as before.

Unexpectedly, he learned from Mu Luo that Ning Jing and Su Liang had become sworn brothers and sisters!

Nian Jincheng knew that what he said at that time was thoughtless, and Su Liang's warning was absolutely correct.

There are some words that I can think about but cannot say.

Some people, no matter how close you are, can only be treated as if you don't know them.

Su Liang took the sachet given by Qin Yujin. The light fragrance smelled very good and the embroidery was also very exquisite.

But she wasn't sure what the sachet meant by Xing Yusheng's cousin was for a moment. She put it aside and picked up the books Xing Yusheng sent her. When she saw that one of the books was a poisonous classic, her eyes lit up a little.

Su Liang was knocked down by Wu Yun with poison last time. Su Liang has always wanted to find an opportunity to learn some poison skills, but books are a scarce resource in this world. They are not only expensive, but besides the imperial examination books and some miscellaneous books with uneven contents, there are many other books.

If it is in the hands of an expert or a noble, it cannot be bought.

Su Liang liked Xing Yusheng's gift very much and thought she could be a friend.

Nian Jincheng felt strange in his heart when he saw Su Liang flipping through the book given by Xing Yusheng and couldn't put it down.

Her appearance, temperament, and conversation were all a surprise to him. They had just met her once, but they couldn't be considered acquaintances at all.

"Jincheng has worked hard all the way here. I asked Chang'an to arrange for you to have a rest. We will discuss other matters tomorrow." Mu Luo said, "I want to go to the mine to have a look today. I have not been there for so long."

"I'm not tired. The emperor sent me here to guard the mine. I need to understand the situation as soon as possible." Nian Jincheng said.

"Okay, let's go together." Mu Luo stood up.

Nian Jincheng was wondering whether this "together" included Su Liang, when he saw her wrapping up her book, putting the sachet in it, and stood up with it.

"Miss Su is also going?" Nian Jincheng asked. He will be the guard here, and the mine does not allow idlers to enter, so there is nothing wrong with this question.

"Haha, don't be so serious. Su Liang is my friend. She has made great contributions to Wu Yun's case. I have promised to take her to the mine. You can't make me break my promise just because you are here. You can just treat it as tomorrow.

Before I take office, I will relax today." Mu Luo patted Nian Jincheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."

God is not good at it.

When Su Liang arrived, the sky was clear.

When we walked out of the Wu family's abandoned house, the clouds were gathering, the wind was blowing, and the rain was coming.

Chang'an advised Mu Luo that it would be better to go another day.

Mu Luo said that since he had come, it might not rain, so he asked Su Liang to ride in the car with him.

"Do you have a coir raincoat?" Su Liang asked.

Chang'an brought Su Liang a raincoat and said, "Master, Miss Su also thinks it will rain."

Su Liang was not wearing any clothes, so he wrapped the cloth bag containing the books in a raincoat, tied it on the horse's back, got on the horse neatly, and said to Mu Luo, "Master Mu, the weather is bad, I have to go home to collect my clothes, so I won't go today.

Already."

For some reason, she just saw the stormy weather and had a bad premonition. And she didn't want to have too much contact with Nian Jincheng for fear of being suspected by Mu Luo, so she planned to go home.

She was just curious about the mine,

The corner of Mu Luo's mouth twitched, "Collect the clothes? Does Ning Jing have no skills?"

Su Liang smiled and said, "Master Mu and General Nian are here for official business, so I won't cause trouble for an idle guy like me."

Mu Luo lowered the car curtain with an unhappy expression, "Chang'an, arrange for two people to escort Miss Su back."

"Yes." Chang'an responded and called two guards over, but Su Liang didn't refuse.

"Master Mu, General Nian, take your leave." Su Liang finished speaking, turned his horse's head and left.

Nian Jincheng glanced at the back of Su Liang's horseback riding, looked away, and followed Mu Luo's car towards the mine.

Su Liang had not gone far when he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him, "Master!"

She turned around and saw Mu Luo's carriage suddenly sinking, and dense arrows were fired at it!

The two guards could no longer care about Su Liang, so they turned their horses and rushed back to the savior.

Su Liang hesitated for a moment.

The incident happened suddenly, but many people protected Mu Luo, and Nian Jincheng was also there, so she was not needed.

But leaving like this seems a bit too cold-blooded, and may even lead to suspicion. She left suddenly because she knew in advance that there would be an assassin.

Su Liang never dared to underestimate the suspicion of a shrewd prince.

So Su Liang decided to stay where she was and observe the situation from a distance. If anyone was injured, she could help.

Mu Luo was pulled out of the carriage by Nian Jincheng.

In the chaos, Nian Jincheng blocked an arrow for Mu Luo and was shot in his left arm. The long sword in his hand was changed to his right hand.

The mine is destined to be inaccessible. The assassins have already laid an ambush and set a trap.

Su Liang suspected that someone around Mu Luo was also infiltrated and someone betrayed him.

The mastermind behind the smuggling of iron ore for money or power is definitely not a small player and can do anything.

Several people escorted Mu Luo back into Wu's house, and the door was closed tightly.

Su Liang felt bad! If there really was someone around Mu Luo, this would be the best time to commit murder!

It's a pity that Ningjing is not here. He has not seen Mu Luo in the past three days, otherwise he might be able to tell something.

Su Liang no longer hesitated and rushed over, quickly tying the book from Xing Yusheng on his back. This was very important and could not be thrown away.

The injured Nian Jincheng was still fighting with the assassin. He thought Su Liang had left long ago and turned around when he heard the sound of horse hooves, but saw her rushing back on horseback. When she approached the Wu family gate, she stood up on the horse and jumped up high.

The wall, jumped in, and no one was seen.

Her quick and vigorous movements were done in one go, showing that Su Liang was not a weak woman.

But Nian Jincheng still had a serious look on his face, quickly dealt with the two assassins who were pestering him, and rushed towards the Wu family!
