The sound of whips, Duanmu Che's screams, Yan Shiba's wild laughter, and the whistling wind were all intertwined.
"Xiao Liang, this is not the way to go. The fifth prince is weak..." Lin Bojun looked anxious. He was ordered to save people, but he couldn't let Duanmu Che be beaten to death.
Su Liang sighed deeply, "That woman is not easy to deal with. General Nian, please do well and stop talking a few times, and we won't make things difficult for you anymore."
Nian Jincheng, who was placed on the ground by Lin Bojun and sat with his back against a stone, clearly saw that Su Liang was seriously discussing with him, but his lowered hands waved silently.
Only Nian Jincheng could see it, Lin Bojun was unaware of it.
Nian Jincheng understood and said with a cold face, "Now that things have happened, I have no way out, so why should I care about his life or death?"
Lin Bojun also sighed, "General Nian, you still have family members in the prison."
These words are tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Nian Jincheng will never forget that because Nian Ruxue and Nian Ruting caused trouble for the Nian family, when He first entered the prison, he was locked up in one place. Everyone accused him of being selfish and only caring about himself, blaming him for taking the credit for his achievements.
Give it to Lin Bojun, blame him for not interceding with the emperor.
Nian Jincheng was called a bastard by his grandmother, and called a disaster star by his father. Nian Jinxing wanted to tear him apart!
But he obviously didn't do anything.
The culprit Nian Ruxue ran away, and Nian Ruting asked Nian Jincheng to tell her where Gu Ling was. Nian Jincheng ignored her, and Nian Ruting sold him.
Nian Jincheng once cared about his so-called relatives, especially after something happened to the Gu family and Gu Ling left.
But now, Gu Ling is back. For Nian Jincheng, he is the most trustworthy relative.
Therefore, after Lin Bo finished speaking, Nian Jincheng spoke again, "I have also been burned with a soldering iron."
Yan Shiba asked loudly, "Where is the perm?"
Nian Jincheng said, "Chest."
The next moment, a shrill scream sounded, and Yan Shiba smiled in a perverted way, "Without a soldering iron, I cut off a piece of the gadget on His Highness the Fifth Prince's chest. Is that enough?"
"That's enough." Nian Jincheng said.
Lin Bojun's face looked ugly, but Huang Bo who was hiding in the dark couldn't help but show up, "Miss Su, General Lin, think of a solution quickly!"
In fact, Duanmu Che has only been beaten a few times so far, but if he keeps going like this, it won't take long to be beaten to death.
Su Liang stared and said to Nian Jincheng, "Although I don't know who saved you, maybe you will be interested in another person."
Nian Jincheng asked coldly, "Who?"
Su Liang said, "Nian Ruting. It is said that she betrayed you?"
"What do you want?" Nian Jincheng snorted coldly.
"It's very simple. Tell her not to touch His Highness the Fifth Prince. You and Nian Ruting can trade two for one. It's a good deal, isn't it?" Su Liang said.
Nian Jincheng nodded, "I agree, but I don't know who that woman is, and she may not agree."
"Just mention it!" Su Liang said.
Nian Jincheng coughed a few more times. Uncle Huang was anxious and urged him to speak quickly.
Nian Jincheng then said, "Stop!"
no response.
Nian Jincheng raised his voice, "Stop!"
Still no response.
Uncle Huang couldn't help it and shouted, "Stop!"
Yan Shiba's gloomy voice came from behind the boulder, "You want to change to the second one? Okay!"
Uncle Huang looked horrified, "No, no, no! No! General Nian has something to tell you!"
"Xiao Nian? What do you have to say? Hurry up!" Yan Shiba came out with half of his body exposed.
Nian Jincheng's voice was weak, "Stop fighting and ask them to bring Nian Ruting over. I want to take her away."
"Nian Ruting? Selling that bitch sister of yours? That's fine, bring her here and chop her up!" Yan Shiba readily agreed and said to Su Liang, "Little girl, you heard this, bring that bitch from the Nian family,
I’ll give you half an hour. By then I won’t be able to see her, so I’ll kill this loser!”
Before Yan Shiba finished speaking, Uncle Huang disappeared.
But a moment later, Uncle Huang came back and whispered to Su Liang and Lin Bojun that someone had gone to report to the emperor.
"Miss Su, I'm really worried about my master's health. Can I ask that woman to let you go and heal my master's injuries first?" Uncle Huang asked.
Lin Bojun frowned, "The other party won't agree, and it's too dangerous."
Su Liang asked Yan Shiba, "Excuse me, is the fifth prince okay? Can I go over and heal him first?"
Yan Shiba sneered, "Little girl, is this your brother or your lover? Are you afraid that if you come over, I will leave you here? Or are you planning to assassinate me?"
Su Liang sighed and shook her head helplessly at Uncle Huang. She was willing to take risks, but it was a pity that they didn't give her a chance, so there was nothing she could do.
Waiting for Nian Ruting to be brought, Yan Shiba sat cross-legged behind the boulder, with half of his body exposed. He held a needle in his invisible hand and stabbed Duanmu Che regularly.
.
Duanmu Che fainted from the pain and did not make any sound.
Yan Shiba took the initiative to chat with Su Liang, "Little girl, you sound young, what's your name?"
Su Liang was silent for a moment and then spoke, "My name is Su Liang. If you are interested in me, how about we take turns asking each other questions, and whoever doesn't want to answer, it's over?"
Yan Shiba laughed, "It's interesting! Come on, come on! Su Liang? Then I understand, you are the top scholar in martial arts today! When you take the martial arts examination, do you want to be an official? Or go to war?"
Su Liang replied, "I haven't thought about it yet. It's my turn. Are you sent by Gu Ling?"
Yan Shiba snorted, "So you thought I was Gu Ling's person? I'm not!"
Lin Bojun frowned, and Huang Bo's expression changed.
Yan Shiba then asked, "I heard that your fiancé is the top scholar in modern science and technology and the head of the Ning family. Do you like his face or his money?"
Su Liang replied, "Only children make choices. He has them all, and I want them all."
The corners of Lin Bojun and Huang Bo's mouths twitched.
Nian Jincheng closed his eyes and lowered his head, otherwise he was afraid that he would be discovered when he smiled...
Yan Shiba laughed again, "There is a future!"
"Why did you save Nian Jincheng? Who sent you here?" Su Liang asked again.
Yan Shiba chuckled, "If you have to ask, it must be Gu Ling."
"You just said no." Su Liang said.
"Really? I'm joking." Yan Shiba said.
"Who on earth sent you here? Don't you dare tell me?" Su Liang snorted coldly.
"Little sister, don't worry, it's my turn to ask you." Yan Shiba said with a smile, "Have you slept with Ning Jing?"
Su Liang shook his head, "Not yet. Why are you so interested in men and women? If you weren't sent by Gu Ling, are you an admirer of Nian Jincheng?"
Yan Shiba laughed again, "Since you ask sincerely, little sister, and I like you very much, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I just want this matter to spread. I am not an admirer of Nian Jincheng, I am someone else's
Admirer."
Su Liang frowned, "Are you talking about Gu Ling?"
"You've asked one more question!" Yan Shiba smiled sweetly, "You guessed it right! I was haunted by that sudden glimpse. I wanted to look for him, but he disappeared without a trace. I want to come
He asked his rumored only friend Nian Jincheng to ask, but who knew that he happened to be arrested! What a coincidence! But I have come here, and it can’t be in vain. I saved Nian Jincheng. If my dream lover is still alive
And if you get the news, you will definitely come to me."
Su Liang looked confused, "If what you said is true, it is indeed possible to achieve your goal. But, how does Gu Ling know where to find you?"
"Just go to my house, then..." Yan Shiba paused and hummed, "Little sister, you were naughty and tried to trick me, and you almost fell into a trap! Since you are determined to help me spread the word, then go...
A place that only Gu Ling and Xiaonian know! Let him decide after I save Xiaonian!"
"Sister, your strength and courage are amazing, why don't you tell me your name so that Gu Ling can find you then." Su Liang said softly.
Yan Shiba hummed, "Little sister, you asked two more questions. It's my turn. What would you do if Ning Jing were to fall in love with someone else?"
Su Liang said casually, "Let him clean up and leave the house. You don't have to do it. The Ning family's property belongs to me."
"Then what if you fall in love with another man?" Yan Shiba asked again.
Su Liang thought for a while and said, "Let's get together and part ways. I'll share half of the family property."
Lin Bojun:......
Uncle Huang:……
Nian Jincheng:...He has to tell his brother about this.
Yan Shiba smiled happily. For those who didn't know, she thought she and Su Liang met by chance when they went up the mountain to admire the moon tonight, and they hit it off right away.
…
Duanmu Yi, who was waiting in the palace, learned of the situation and immediately sent Nian Ruting there to ensure that Duanmu Che came back alive.
After they left, Duanmu Chen admitted his mistake, "I thought that Nian Ruting's affairs would be made public soon, so I brought it up when I saw Su Liang and Lin Bojun tonight."
"It doesn't matter." Duanmu Yi said with a serious face, "That bitch doesn't have much value, and there is no use keeping it. Fortunately, you told Su Liang, and Su Liang suddenly thought of using her as a bargaining chip. Otherwise, even if Che'er could survive, she would not be able to survive.
How injured! I really misjudged Nian Jincheng!"
Duanmu Chen sighed, "He must have broken the pot. It's just that I was a little surprised. How could it be a woman? There are not many powerful women in this world. If he is from the Gu Ling sect, is it possible that he was originally there?
Near the capital? Otherwise it wouldn’t have come so quickly.”
Duanmu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, "Let's see if Su Liang and Lin Bojun can get some news to bring back."
"Does the emperor want to reuse Su Liang?" Duanmu Chen asked.
Duanmu Yi hummed, "A little girl with a hairpin's talent, she is really smart and has strength, but don't you think she is very mysterious?"
Duanmu Chen nodded, "Indeed. She grew up in the capital, but I have never heard of this person before. I don't know if it was because I kept a low profile, or if I had some adventures after leaving the capital. But being so powerful at such a young age is indeed a rare sight.
of genius.”
"Che'er had suspected that she was a craftsman," Duanmu Yi said.
Duanmu Chen was stunned, "Don't the Fifth Emperor's hearts fall in love with Su Liang?"
"That was after the martial arts competition." Duanmu Yi said, "Do you think Su Liang might be a craftsman? No evidence is needed, just tell me your feelings."
Duanmu Chen thought thoughtfully, "I feel that if there is a master behind Su Liang, her talents will be wasted if she is used for fine work. Martial arts is second to none, and her medical skills are very good. Such a person should be left as a
Wouldn’t it be better to use it yourself?”
Duanmu Yi pondered, "It makes some sense."
"No need to be suspicious. If my father thinks there is something wrong with her, just give her a false position and send her away." Duanmu Chen said sternly.
In fact, this was a subtle way to provoke the general, and he secretly kept his relationship with Su Liang away.
"We'll see after tonight." Duanmu Yi said.
…
When Nian Ruting was thrown in front of Su Liang, Su Liang didn't dare to recognize her at first glance. Her leg was not treated in time, and this time it was completely disabled. Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her eyes were staring straight at Su.
cold.
"Sister, the people you asked for are all here." Su Liang said, very politely, "You can change people."
"Nian Ruting?" Yan Shiba called.
Nian Ruting asked in response, "Did Gu Ling send you here?"
Yan Shiba snorted coldly, "You little bitch, you actually miss my lover? Just wait and see how I deal with you!"
Nian Ruting was dumbfounded. She was taken out of the prison and went to Wangxiang Mountain. When she saw the formation, she subconsciously thought that it was Gu Ling who had come to save Nian Jincheng and asked her to be taken away as well. However, she did not expect that the person who came was actually a
The woman who loves Gu Ling?!
"Little sister, first throw that woman named Nian to the bottom of the cliff!" Yan Shiba said.
Nian Ruting's face froze, "How dare you?! I am Gu Ling's fiancée!"
"Shut up! Otherwise, I will chop you in half and then throw you down!" Yan Shiba roared, "My little brother will follow you below! Right under the tree with the lantern hanging!"
"Okay. How about I throw her down and you lead the Fifth Prince out from behind the stone?" Su Liang discussed with Yan Shiba.
"Deal!" Yan Shiba readily agreed.
Then Su Liang grabbed one of Nian Ruting's arms and dragged her to the edge of the cliff. He looked at the ancient pine tree with a red lantern hanging on it. Just as he was about to throw it down, he asked Yan Shiba, "What if your little brother is napping?"
, do you want to call him?"
Yan Shiba grabbed a stone and threw it down. The sound of a man groaning after being hit came from below...
Su Liang guessed that it might be Yan Shiqi.
Nian Ruting had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, so she hugged Su Liang's legs and said, "I won't go with her! Send me back to Tianlao!" If she was really Gu Ling's admirer, she would not make it easy for her.
Su Liang pulled Nian Ruting's hand away and pushed her down.
Nian Ruting's screams echoed through the mountains and stopped suddenly.
Yan Shiba kept his promise, dragged one of Duanmu Che's legs, walked out from behind the boulder, let go of Duanmu Che, and walked to a position close to the ancient pine, "Let Xiaonian come over, I will take him away."
There was a sudden sound of fighting behind the boulder. Yan Shiba's eyes darkened and he snorted coldly, "Little sister, I think you are a bit interesting. I gave you face to talk so easily. I didn't expect your people to want to sneak attack me? I'm looking for death!"
"
Su Liang had no idea who had passed by. It must be a master arranged by Duanmu Yi, who wanted to save Duanmu Che from behind so that he could attack Yan Shiba.
But of course Yan Shiba did not come alone. She wanted to fulfill her promise to Su Liang and find Gu Ling as soon as possible. She brought many younger brothers tonight, and each one of them was a brutal killer.
The sound of fighting continued, and when Yan Shiba was about to return to Duanmu Che, Su Liang said quickly, "They beat them, how about we continue trading?" He dragged Nian Jincheng over.
Yan Shiba snorted coldly, "I'll give you another face! Send Xiaonian over quickly!"
Lin Bojun followed behind, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready for battle.
As soon as Su Liang let go of Nian Jincheng, Yan Shiba grabbed him and threw him to the bottom of the cliff!
Seeing this, Su Liang moved and reached Duanmu Che's side.
However, Yan Shiba did not leave immediately. He sneered, drew his sword, and rushed towards Su Liang, "I'm here to learn the clever tricks of Qian Guowu champion!"
Su Liang greeted Yan Shiba, and Huang Bo took the opportunity to carry Duanmu Che away.
The masters arranged by Duanmu Yi have all come out, and the killers from Yan Shiba's side have also appeared. The battle between the two sides is about to break out.
"I'm tired! I won't play anymore!" Yan Shiba made a feint and jumped off the cliff.
Her little brothers all jumped in like dumplings.
When Su Liang saw the people sent by Duanmu Yi to chase them, she wanted to kindly remind them not to chase them, but if they really didn't chase them, Su Liang would be blamed in the end, and those people were not under her control, so she let them go.
"Miss Su! Come and see my master!" Uncle Huang called Su Liang.
Su Liang took another look at the red lantern floating in the wind, put away his weapon and walked back.
Lin Bojun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Duanmu Che was still alive, their mission would be completed. Su Liang also proposed to hand over one more Nian Ruting, saving Duanmu Che's half life.
When Su Liang saw Duanmu Che, he was stunned. He saw that his face was covered with thin bloodshot streaks. If he looked closely, he could see that there were little red spots on his face, which were all caused by someone pricking them with needles...
The more than ten whips Yan Shiba gave Duanmu Che also received two bloody bruises on his face, which was shocking.
There was a large pool of blood on Duanmu Che's right chest, and Yan Shiba really cut something on his chest.
Uncle Huang was furious, "That vicious woman! Don't let me find her!"
Su Liang took Duanmu Che's pulse and found that the condition was not good, but not life-threatening.
After she gave Duanmu Che medicine and gave him medicine to stop the bleeding, she asked Uncle Huang to take him back to the palace to recover.
Uncle Huang carried the unconscious Duanmu Che on his back and left. Su Liang ignored those who were chasing Yan Shiba and went down the mountain with Lin Bojun.
…
When Su Liang and Lin Bojun entered the palace again, those who had gone after Yan Shiba also came back.
They were all alive, a few were injured, but they could not die.
"Those people look like killers, but they don't intend to kill anyone tonight," the old man said.
Duanmu Chen frowned, "Is he really Gu Ling's admirer, or is he a killer hired by Gu Ling? Yan Yunlou?"
Duanmu Yi's expression was serious, "We will discuss this matter later. Su Liang, you have made a contribution this time. If you want any reward, you can tell me. Next, you have to cure Che'er. This is the most important task I have given you. "
Su Liang frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, can you arrange for someone else to treat His Highness the Fifth Prince?"
Duanmu Yi's face turned cold, "What? You don't want to?"
Su Liang shook his head, "At first, I was very willing to treat His Highness the Fifth Prince. Even though His Highness the Fifth Prince originally disliked me, these butlers, Uncle Huang, knew it. Now His Highness the Fifth Prince seems to have taken a liking to me, but I have already been engaged. , I am afraid that any more contact will cause more trouble to His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Duanmu Yi's face brightened slightly, "That's right, Che'er only wants to marry you, so it's not good to keep entangled her. In that case, you can teach Dr. Gao all about how to give Che'er acupuncture and medicine."
Su Liang nodded immediately, "Okay, thank you Your Majesty for your understanding."
…
When Su Liang returned home, it was almost dawn.
Ning Jing walked out of the room, "How?"
Su Liang smiled, "Everything went well. Your brother fell into Yan Shiba's hands. Next, we have to think about how to get him out."
Ning Jing nodded, "Thank you."
"Xiao Nian can only rely on you for the rest of his life. How do you plan to arrange for him?" Su Liang asked.
Ning Jing thought for a while and said, "Let him sell tea. Or give it to Yan Yu and sell cloth."
