When Su Liang and Ning Jing paid to check out, they heard many people in the inn talking about the replacement of the lord of Xuanbei City.
Some people are concerned about Wan Shan's physical condition.
Some people are looking forward to Xing Ji's next performance.
There was no doubt that Wan Shan was harmed by the royal family and felt unfair for him. After all, he was alive and fell ill before Xing Ji arrived.
Very reasonable.
The father and son of the Wan family have been camped in Jiji in northern Xinjiang for the past few years, but they have made so many "war exploits" during peacetime. Their goal of winning over the people has been achieved, but the fundamental problem is that they are ministers, and the military power is in Wan Shan's hands, but they have not If the surname is not Wan, the royal family can give it to him and take it back at any time.
Even if Wanshan did not fall at this moment, he had no legitimate reason to resist the decree. If he did not accept it, he would have no choice but to rebel.
Duanmu Yi was worried that the Wanshan rebellion would trigger civil strife in Qian.
Wan Shan thought that if he was really forced to do that, he could lead his troops to rebel.
And as Wan Shan collapsed, all troubles were solved.
"General Wan is really loved by the people." Su Liang said.
The innkeeper sighed, "Yes! General Wan Da is a very good man. I hope God will bless him to recover from his illness soon!"
Su Liang smiled. The public support won over by thousands of mountains is still useful. Everyone is very concerned about his health and hopes that he will return to Beijing to find an imperial physician as soon as possible.
After leaving the inn, Su Liang and Ning Jing rode out from the south city gate.
An hour later, they arrived at the valley where they had stayed when they came.
Su Liang went to the cave to change clothes.
Ningjing took the two horses and continued on to the next city. After selling the horses, he changed his disguise and found another house to buy a new horse, then rode it back.
Su Liang regained her true appearance, changed into women's clothes, mounted the horse brought back by Ning Jing, and headed towards Xuanbei City alone.
He made an appointment with Ning Jing that he would go there secretly before midnight tonight. Ning Jing specifically asked Su Liang to prepare something delicious for him.
By coincidence, when Su Liang arrived at the south gate of Xuanbei City, he encountered a group of people leaving the city. It was the Wan family's group returning to the capital led by Wan Cong.
Many people noticed Su Liang because of her beautiful appearance and heroic demeanor.
Although there are many people traveling from north to south in Xuanbei City, it is rare for women from out of town to come to the northern border city, and they are alone.
Seeing Su Liang suddenly smiled brightly at him.
After Wan Cong was stunned for a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses and guessed her identity!
"Who are you?" the city defender asked Su Liang loudly.
Su Liang's voice was cold, "This general is Su Liang, the fourth-grade general who came to Xuanbei City to assist Marquis Zhongxin under the emperor's order."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the city gate, and all eyes were focused on Su Liang.
This name is known to everyone in the Qian Kingdom.
She was the first female martial arts champion in the Qian Kingdom, and defeated Mu Ya, a female general from the Yan Kingdom. Not only was she highly skilled in martial arts, but she was also a descendant of a famous doctor with superb medical skills, and the military commander also served as an imperial physician.
"Su Zhuangyuan is so beautiful!" Some people couldn't help but sigh.
There was a chorus of compliments.
When Wan Cong listened, it was not only jarring, but also heartbreaking.
He concluded that Su Liang was responsible for Wanshan's collapse, but there was no evidence at all!
The city defenders respectfully moved out of the way and invited Su Liang in.
Wan Cong and his party had already left the city gate. He couldn't help but look back at Su Liang's back. Suddenly, his heart moved, he turned his horse's head and shouted, "General Su, wait!"
Su Liang was not surprised. He reined in the horse and stopped, "Who is your Excellency?"
Wan Cong rode over and said loudly, "My father is Wan Shan, and I am the eldest son of Wan Shan. My name is only Cong. I heard from Marquis Zhongxin and General Lin that General Su was very skilled in medicine and once cured the stroke of the old man of the Duke of Qin. .I wonder if I can ask General Su to treat my father?"
"Did General Wan Da have a stroke?" Su Liang looked surprised.
Seeing her innocent face, Wan Cong almost broke his back molar, but still kept calm, "My father fell down at night and became ill. Please save him, General Su!"
"No problem." Su Liang agreed quickly, "I will do my best."
Wan Cong was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Liang would agree. He felt that something was wrong.
But now, he could only take Wan Shan and the others back to the city.
The news came quickly, and the people were very happy. They felt that Dr. Su Liang was kind and that Wanshan could be saved.
However, when Wan Cong and his party were about to return to the General's Mansion, they were stopped by the new guards, because Wan Shan was no longer the general of Xuanbei City and was not qualified to live here, even if Xing Ji couldn't.
"You guys just wait here while I go ask the Marquis for permission." Su Liang said very "kindly".
Wan Cong even felt that Su Liang was not well-intentioned, but he still had to keep smiling and thank her.
…
"General Xing!" Su Liang entered the meeting hall with brisk steps.
Xing Ji was looking at the map hanging on the wall. When he heard the sound, he turned around and laughed, "You're here!"
There were several generals in the conference hall, and their eyes fell on Su Liang.
Xing Ji made the introduction, and Su Liang greeted them one by one.
"It's true that a hero comes from a young age!" General Zhou did not hesitate to express his praises.
Su Liang smiled and said a few words of humility, and then mentioned in public that she met Wan Shan and his party on the road, Wan Cong asked her to heal Wan Shan, and they turned back.
"Now Master Wan wants to take his father back to the General's Mansion to stay temporarily. I wonder if we can be accommodating?" Su Liang begged for Wan Shan.
This surprised everyone else present. They didn't know if Su Liang was really innocent and kind, or if he had ulterior motives.
The transfer of military power has been completed, how can she let Wan Shan stay? And she also needs to cure Wan Shan. If Wan Shan does something he shouldn't do after he recovers, won't it be troublesome?
Xing Ji frowned, "This...General Wanshan is ill. It's a trivial matter to want to live in the general's mansion. I have no intention of living there. However, the emperor's imperial decree states that General Wanshan and his son are ordered to return to Beijing as soon as possible to resume his duties."
, don’t delay. I wonder how long it will take for General Su to treat General Wanshan?”
Su Liang replied, "I just looked at General Wanshan's condition. It's more serious than Mr. Qin's stroke. I can only do my best. If everything goes well, it will take at least two or three months for his body to recover."
Xing Ji sighed, "I also hope that General Wanshan can be cured as soon as possible, but the emperor is waiting. I dare not make my own decision and keep General Wanshan in Xuanbei City. That is resisting the decree."
Immediately some generals agreed, believing that Wan Shan and his son must not stay and must set off back to Beijing today.
Xing Ji looked helpless, "How about General Su prescribe a prescription for General Wan and let him take the medicine on the way?"
"It mainly depends on acupuncture." Su Liang frowned, "But it is hard to violate the holy will, so this is the only way. I will give General Wan a prescription first and let him go on his way."
The last four words, no matter how you hear them, are not very auspicious.
But the generals present all praised Su Liang for his kindness, and even asked Su Liang to help heal old injuries when he was free.
No one dared to ask Wan Shan to stay, even though they had seen how seriously ill he was. If he stayed in Xuanbei City, he could be cured by Su Liang as soon as possible.
Su Liang wrote a recipe in the meeting hall and left the camp to deliver it to Wan Cong.
"Master Wan, the Marquis is very concerned about your father's health, but he has no choice but to violate the holy will and dare not keep you in Xuanbei City." Su Liang looked apologetic.
Wan Cong's face turned pale! Only then did he realize that Su Liang was deliberately torturing them!
Su Liang took out the prescription and handed it to Wan Cong, "This is the prescription I prescribed for your father. Take the medicine on the way first, and wait until the capital to seek treatment from the imperial physician. According to the decree, I cannot return to the capital for the time being, but I believe that your father will be able to do it with your auspiciousness.
Get better."
This comfort was like stabbing a knife into Wan Cong's heart.
But what Su Liang said was his will. Now, no matter how angry Wan Cong was, he did not dare to lose his temper. He could only accept the prescription and grit his teeth to thank Su Liang.
"It's a pity that my grandfather passed away. If he were still alive, my father would definitely get well soon when he returned to the capital." Su Liang sighed with regret.
Wan Cong's face froze, knowing that Su Liang had stopped pretending and showed her cards directly. She was just avenging her relatives, and the Wan family and Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao were one and the same.
In fact, the murderers who went to kill the Su family were all minions carefully trained by the Wan family for brothers Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao.
The Wan family did not take action, but they gave Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao the confidence to do whatever they wanted, and after learning about it, they thought it was no big deal for Duanmu Sheng to commit adultery with his siblings. They believed that the only mistake the brothers made was not eradicating the root cause and leaving Su Liang as a future problem.
They don't regard the innocent Su family as human beings, so don't blame Su Liang for sending them on their way to become ghosts as soon as possible.
"Master Wan, it's getting late. You should hit the road early. Take care on the road." Su Liang's smile did not reach her eyes.
Wan Cong and his entourage did not even enter the general's mansion, and left Xuanbei City in despair.
…
Su Liang had known that she would run into Wan Cong and his party, because she was waiting for Ning Jing to change horses and come back in the valley. She kept paying attention to the movement in the valley and did not see Wan Cong's family passing by.
It's not like I specifically humiliated them, I just let nature take its course and did what I could. After all, it was Wan Cong who took the initiative to ask for their return. If he didn't speak, it would be over.
Su Liang returned to the military camp again. When he saw Xing Ji, everyone else had left. He was discussing the next deployment with Lin Bojun.
"Xiao Liang!" Lin Bojun smiled broadly when he saw Su Liang, "Has the Wan family left?"
"If you don't want to leave, why don't you stay here to celebrate the New Year?" Su Liang chuckled, walked over and sat down, "Where's Wan Lin?"
"Secretly escorted back to Beijing." Lin Bojun said, "Thanks to you, all the troubles have been solved. I thought about a lot of problems I might face on the way here, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
"Mainly because I run fast." Su Liang said with a smile.
Xing Ji asked her, "Why haven't you seen Ajun?"
"Oh, please help him go to his hometown to do something." Su Liang said.
Xing Ji was a little surprised, "He went to Sujia Village on the way and didn't come with you? Did you do everything yourself?"
Su Liang shook his head, "No. I only let him leave after the trouble here was solved. He helped a lot."
Xing Ji nodded, "Ajun, that kid, always handles things safely. Just now you came and asked Wan Shan to stay, and I was wondering if you planned to take the opportunity to return to Beijing."
"I want to go back to Beijing. Second Brother Lin is more anxious than me, right? But I'm not going with the Wan family. If I don't cure Wan Shan, wouldn't it be a loss of my reputation? But I don't want to treat him," Su Liang said.
.
"Well, there are people from the emperor in the team. If something happens to them on the way and they can't reach the capital, it's none of our business." Xing Ji said.
In fact, he had the right to ask Lin Bojun and Su Liang to escort Wan Shan back to Beijing, but he did not want to do that. If something happened to Wan Shan's family, Lin Bojun and Su Liang would still have to bear the responsibility.
Su Liang mentioned overhearing the conversation between Wan Shan and Wan Cong and his son.
"They said that the Liang Kingdom sent people to sue for peace several times in the past two years, but they were suppressed and did not report it to the court," Su Liang said.
The expressions of Xing Ji and Lin Bojun changed.
Su Liang continued, "Many of the achievements of Wan Cong and Wan Lin brothers are all false. There was no invasion from the Liang people at all. They went out of the city for a while and then came back and claimed that they had repelled the Liang people."
"Shameless!" Lin Bojun couldn't help but cursed, "If we don't get rid of such a worm who is eager for quick success and quick success, the consequences will be disastrous when the Liang Kingdom army actually invades!"
Xing Ji thoughtfully said, "Wan Shan is really capable, and his two sons are not idiots. They are just eager for success and have evil intentions."
Su Liang hummed, "In such a critical position, ability is of course very important, but if you have different intentions, the stronger the ability, the greater the trouble you can create."
Xing Ji agreed very much, "That makes sense."
"Does Uncle Xing think Liang really wants to seek peace?" Su Liang asked.
After Xing Ji pondered for a moment, he shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it's half true and half false. The people of Liang will never die in their desire to invade Qian, because everyone wants to live a good life. I'm afraid the pretense of peace is just to conserve energy.
Rui. Otherwise, as long as they come to seek peace in a big way, how can Wanshan hide it?"
Su Liang nodded, "Indeed. Wan Shan kept it secret and refused to retaliate because he was afraid that if he really made peace with Liang Guo, they and his son would lose the chance to make meritorious deeds."
"The Wan brothers lied about their military exploits..." Xing Ji asked.
Su Liang understood, "There is a witness. Wan Cong's general named Chen Yun knows about it and is dissatisfied with it. You can ask him to write down his testimony and submit it to the emperor."
"Xiao Liang, you've only been here three days, how come you know everything?" Lin Bojun was very impressed.
Su Liangxiao said, "General Chen and I met by chance in a tavern. It was also a coincidence. But I hid my identity at the time, so don't let me out."
"I am giving the emperor a letter. Do you have a letter to send back to the capital? Have someone send it back." Xing Ji asked.
"Xiao Liang will definitely write a letter to A Jing." Lin Bojun said with a smile.
Su Liang was very calm, "That's necessary."
Xing Ji asked Su Liang and Lin Bojun to live in the general's mansion, but Lin Bojun refused, saying that he lived in the military camp like Xing Ji so that he could get familiar with the situation in Xuanbei City as soon as possible. Although he wanted to return to Beijing to get married as soon as possible, now that he is here,
Just do your part of the job well.
Su Liang did not refuse, mainly because of the safety concerns and it was inconvenient for him to enter the military camp.
So, Su Liang lived alone in the mansion of the general of Xuanbei City. There was nothing against the rules. When someone asked Xing Ji, he said that Su Liang was his adopted daughter, although Su Liang did not agree to recognize him as his adopted father.
Su Liangzhen wrote a letter and gave it to Xing Ji to take to his home in Beijing. The letter briefly explained the situation here. He just told Qi Jun, who was pretending to be peaceful, that everything was going well and let him wait with peace of mind.
…
Beijing.
After several pleas, Empress Xiao Wan was finally allowed to visit the eldest prince Duanmu Sheng who was under house arrest in the cold palace.
When she entered the door, she saw Duanmu Sheng sitting by the window with disheveled hair, holding a stuffed doll in his hand, pricking it hard with a silver needle, his eyes were filled with resentment, and he was muttering, "Su Liang, go to hell, go to hell."
…”
Xiao Wanshi retreated and walked over, "Sheng'er!"
Duanmu Sheng raised his head and looked over blankly, "Queen Mother..."
"It's the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has come to see Sheng'er." Little Wan's eyes were red, and she held Duanmu Sheng's hand, took away the dolls and needles, and put them on the table, "Don't scare the Queen Mother, if anything happens to you again
, how can the queen mother still live?"
"Mother, I didn't kill my second brother!" Duanmu Sheng's face turned ugly, "It's all the fault of that bitch Su Liang!"
Xiao Wanshi nodded, "The queen knows, how could you harm Ao'er? You are brothers!"
"Uncle...is there any news from uncle?" Duanmu Sheng looked anxious.
Xiao Wanshi shook his head, "There is no news yet, but it should be soon. Your uncle has been in northern Xinjiang for so many years, how could it be possible for Xing Ji to seize power easily? He already knows what is going on here and will not sit still and wait for death. Sheng'er, you
Wait a moment, don’t panic!”
Duanmu Sheng seemed to gain confidence all of a sudden and sneered, "My uncle is so powerful that even my father is afraid of him. Xing Ji and Su Liang go to Xuanbei City and don't expect to come back alive! The queen mother sent a message to my uncle, if Su Liang is caught, don't let her
If she dies, I will cut her into pieces with my own hands and chop her into pieces!"
Little Wanshi nodded, "Okay, mother and queen have promised you, don't be afraid, just wait here. There will be good news from your uncle soon."
…
Xuanbei City.
Su Liang's dinner was cooked by the chef of the General's Mansion, and the taste was average. She ate some of it, and asked her to clean up the small kitchen in the courtyard where she lived. She asked for some ingredients and said she wanted to make a late-night snack.
After asking the servants to leave, Su Liang was thinking about what to do next, while preparing to cook two of Ningjing's favorite dishes, thanking him for his help this time.
The food was almost out of the pot. Su Liang looked back at the kitchen door and saw a familiar figure walking in.
It was the masked Tranquility. He carried a basket and placed it on the ground. He sat down and added two sticks of firewood to the stove with very skillful movements.
"Where have you been?" Su Liang asked casually.
Ning Jing took something out of the basket and handed it to Su Liang.
It's an oily paper bag, and I don't know what it is that's hard inside.
Su Liang opened it and found it was a piece of bacon.
"The best food in Nanfeng City." Ning Jing said.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You actually went to the border town of Liang Kingdom and bought a piece of meat? But the most delicious thing is very subjective. You can only represent yourself."
"I think this is the most delicious thing in Nanfeng City. Is there any problem?" Ning Jing asked back.
Su Liang coughed lightly, "No problem. You are the boss, you have the final say. How you want to eat this piece of meat, I will cook it for you."
"Waiting for you to surprise me." Ning Jing looked calm.
Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "Master, do you actually have the emotion of surprise? I've never seen it before. Unless you smile, it's not a surprise."
Ning Jing stood up, washed her hands, picked up a piece of Su Liang's carefully baked meatloaf, took a bite, and said calmly, "It's delicious. I'm very surprised."
Su Liang was speechless, "Is this okay?"
"Surprises are very subjective, but I can speak for myself." Ning Jing returned what Su Liang said to her, "I think so, that's right."
Su Liang was speechless.
She sliced the bacon and fried it on a plate, leaving half for tomorrow.
The midnight snack was ready, and the two sat opposite each other in the room. Su Liang tasted a piece of bacon and nodded, "It has a unique flavor."
Ning Jing took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to her, "Bacon recipe, go back and make it."
Su Liang: ...She has never wanted to describe Ningjing as a foodie, because sometimes he is very picky about eating, and sometimes he is very casual. To be more precise, he is the only one who understands when she makes food for Ningjing to eat.
Enjoy it, other times you eat just to satisfy your hunger.
"Master, I want to discuss something with you." Su Liang looked serious, "How about I stop cooking from now on, and you don't have to light the fire and wash the dishes? We can eat in restaurants every day, and we are not short of money anyway. This will save a lot of trouble. How about that?"
Ning Jing shook his head, "Not at all. I'll wait until you can beat me."
Su Liang frowned, "If I don't do it, are you going to use force to force me?"
Ning Jing looked calm and said, "This is what was originally agreed upon. If you want to change it, I don't agree. As you said, I am the boss."
Su Liang gave up instantly. Only if he could defeat Ning Jing could he become the boss? There was little hope.
Ning Jing picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth, finished it slowly and nodded, "I'm very surprised."
"If one day I really beat you, will you cook?" Su Liang still asked. If you have a dream, what if you see a ghost?
Ning Jing nodded, "I wish you all your wishes will come true soon."
