Su Liang closed the door, turned into the study room next door, and saw Ning Jing sitting at the desk, holding a stone picked up from the mountain today in his hand, and was carefully carving it.
"If we meet like this today, people will suspect that I am a craftsman who went out of the city to meet you." Su Liang sat down opposite.
Ning Jing didn't even raise her head, "You asked me to go."
Su Liang choked and hummed, "I'm not blaming you? I'm just telling you why Uncle Xing came to find me. I told him that you were the secret guard you hired to protect me."
Ning Jing paused her hand slightly and glanced at Su Liang, "I can be the secret guard you hire to protect you."
Su Liang chuckled, "Master, what are you talking about tongue twisters? Aren't they all the same?"
Seeing that Ningjing was focused on the stone in his hand and had no interest in chatting with her, Su Liang got up and left, "I'll go to the military camp to see if the food has improved. If you are discovered by anyone, just say that I was hired to protect you."
My secret guard." became a peaceful expression.
"What's your name?" Ning Jing asked.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him, thought for a while and said, "Let's call her Shi Er."
A bastard who likes to play with rocks... I won't tell him this.
"Who is Shi Da?" Ning Jing asked back.
"It's your brother, me." Su Liang was amused by his casual joke.
Ning Jing stared at Su Liang, "So happy?"
The corner of Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "Master, even if it's fake, if you call me brother, I will definitely die of joy."
Ning Jing narrowed her eyes and continued carving on the stone with her sharp carving knife, "For your safety, it's impossible."
Su Liang smiled and strode out of the door, "My name is Shi Er."
But just in case, if Ningjing is discovered and she happens to be asked, at least his name cannot be wrong.
But Su Liang felt that it shouldn't be used.
When he went out to ride a horse and went to the military camp, the soldiers he met looked at Su Liang with eager admiration.
Although this is a world where men are superior to women, in the military camp, strength determines everything.
The sun was almost setting now, and the magnificent sunset glow turned half the sky red.
Xing Ji is discussing with the generals of Xuanbei City how to take over Nanfeng City next.
No one from Liang Kingdom has come to negotiate yet, but if nothing else happens, someone will come tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Wei Yao made the promise last night in front of the armies of the two countries. If he breaks his promise, Qian Guo must not pretend that nothing happened. This is related to the dignity of the country.
Su Liang went outside the meeting hall and met Qi Jiang.
"Uncle Qi." Su Liang bowed his hands.
Qi Jiang was a man of serious words, but when he saw Su Liang coming, his eyes became a little gentler, and he twitched his lips and said, "General Su is here, come in quickly."
Whether it was Su Liang rescuing Xing Yusheng, taking care of Qi Yan and Qi Jun's brother, treating Qi Jiang's old injuries, and helping the Xing family save the day from danger many times, or just because Su Liang regarded Qi Jiang as an elder and treated him sincerely, Qi Jiang would always remember it in his heart.
.
"General Xing, I'm Su Liang, can I come in?" Su Liang asked standing outside the door.
"Enter."
Hearing Xing Ji's voice coming from inside, Su Liang went in and said apologetically, "I'm late."
General Zhou waved his hand quickly, "General Su is a great hero. He was tired last night. It's time to take a rest today."
There was an empty seat next to Chen Yun, so Su Liang went over and sat down.
Xing Ji was not talking about Nanfeng City just now, but about the new rules for military training.
Most of them were proposed by Su Liang, and Xing Ji had discussed them in detail with the two generals in charge of military training, and both thought it was feasible.
Although the climate of Qian State is superior to that of Liang State, its products are rich, and its army is well-equipped, the average physical fitness of its soldiers is not as good as that of Liang State.
The main purpose of Su Liang's suggestions was to improve the physical fitness of the soldiers.
Before she came, Xing Ji had already spoken most of it.
After finishing speaking, Xing Ji put down the thick stack of paper in his hand and glanced around, "Is there anything you don't understand? If you understand everything, tell me what you think. Let's start with General Zhou. Whether it's opinions or suggestions. , just say it.”
For a moment, Su Liang seemed to have returned to the scene of a regular meeting in his previous life, speaking one after another, which was really confusing.
However, in order of sitting position or rank, Su Liang is at the bottom.
She regretted coming. She might as well have gone directly to the kitchen to watch the cooking. But since she was here, she didn't want to leave in the middle.
Su Liang listened to the opinions of the general who was pointed out. Generally speaking, he supported the reforms that Xing Ji wanted to make.
When it was Lin Bojun's turn, of course he supported it unconditionally.
Next was Chen Yun, who proposed that half of the soldiers in the military camp could be trained according to the new regulations first, while the original ones remained unchanged.
"In this way, after half a month, you will know which one is better and which one is worse." Chen Yun looked serious, "It's just the general's humble opinion."
Xing Ji admired Chen Yun very much, "It's better this way. What does General Su think?"
Su Liang nodded, "I agree."
This meeting ended successfully.
As soon as Su Liang walked out of the meeting hall, Lin Bojun caught up with him, "Xiao Liang, are you going back to the General's Mansion?"
Su Liang shook his head, "I want to go to the kitchen and have a look."
"Today's food is better than yesterday." Lin Bojun said with a smile, and then asked about Su Liang's visit to Ping'an Temple today, "I heard that the person with you is the secret guard hired by A Jing to protect you. ?”
Su Liang nodded.
"A master who likes to pick mushrooms?" Lin Bojun lowered his voice, "Could it be that he is A Jing?"
Su Liang blinked and whispered, "He likes to pick mushrooms?"
Lin Bojun shook his head, "That's not true. I just think that you running out of the city to meet that person is not an ordinary secret guard. The actions of the two of you make me suspect that it is A Jing."
Su Liang chuckled, "Why?"
Lin Bojun said seriously, "Only when you two are together will you do weird and cute things."
Su Liang coughed lightly, "Why does Second Brother Lin think picking mushrooms is cute?"
Lin Bojun shook his head, "It's weird and cute that you ran out of the city to meet a man picking mushrooms. You didn't deny it. It seems I guessed it right?"
When the words came to this point, Su Liang admitted, "That's right."
Lin Bojun paused, "Is it really him? You two...really, wouldn't it be nice to get married as soon as possible? He always pretended to be pretentious before. You just left the capital for a short time, and you are chasing after him? What did I say? ?He just likes you, but it’s so awkward!”
Su Liang looked around to make sure no one was nearby. He tugged on Lin Bojun's sleeve to stop him from continuing to complain, "Brother Lin, you misunderstood. He is not chasing me."
"Then he is chasing me? Why didn't he make an appointment with me to pick mushrooms outside the city?" Lin Bojun couldn't suppress his complaints after learning that the man he met Su Liang outside the city today was really peaceful. desire.
Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "Brother Lin never thought about how he could leave the capital?"
Lin Bojun was stunned for a moment, "He works in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and at this time, the emperor will not allow him to leave the capital. Moreover, except for you and our family, no one else knows that he knows martial arts."
"Second Brother Lin, guess again?" Su Liang asked.
Lin Bojun frowned and thought, always feeling that something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Qi Jun?!"
He had previously heard from Lin Xueqing that Su Liang had learned the art of disguise and was very good at it.
Finally, she realized something was wrong. There should have been someone beside Su Liang. It was Qi Jun who was arranged by Xing Yusheng to follow and protect her.
But "Qi Jun" only showed up once when he followed Su Liang on the day he left the capital, and disappeared when he arrived at Xuanbei City.
Qi Jiang has never even seen his son, whom he thought he would accompany him, even since he left home.
If Ning Jing and Qi Jun changed their identities and left Qi Jun to pretend to be him in the capital, everything would make sense!
Seeing Su Liang smiling and saying nothing, Lin Bojun was simply drunk, "You two are so bold!"
"I didn't plan to say it originally. Second brother Lin is too smart and guessed it. Just pretend that he didn't know." Su Liang said, "If something happens, it has nothing to do with us. Let someone take responsibility for it."
Lin Bojun raised his forehead and said, "If he comes with you, aren't you reluctant to be separated from each other?"
Su Liang said sternly, "Absolutely not. He just felt that the capital was boring and wanted to go out for fun. Qi Jun happened to be visiting that day, and he had an idea and took advantage of her."
The corners of Lin Bojun's mouth twitched, "Have you had an idea?" He looked at Su Liang with eyes full of "Do you think I believe it?"...
"Actually, the main reason why we were able to deal with the Wan family father and son so smoothly was because of him." Su Liang said, "It would have been much more difficult for me to act alone."
"That's it." Lin Bojun nodded, "I hope Qi Jun won't be discovered in the capital, and everything will be fine."
"I believe in his ability." Su Liang said.
"So you are actually together from the beginning to the end? Then why go to meet outside the city in broad daylight? What kind of fun is this?" After getting down to business, Lin Bojun continued to complain and couldn't stop at all.
Su Liang asked calmly, "Brother Lin, don't you want to pick mushrooms with Yu Jin?"
Lin Bojun immediately turned his head, looked in the direction of the capital, and let out a long sigh, "I wish I could grow wings and fly back to see her. But who in the right mind would meet up to pick mushrooms and fall in love?"
Su Liang nodded, "We are normal people. We really went to pick mushrooms, so we did not fall in love. We just like to pick mushrooms because they are delicious. It's that simple."
Lin Bojun: ...It is reasonable and well-founded, but it is impossible to refute...
The kitchen is in full swing preparing dinner.
Seeing Su Liang come in, a steward who had communicated with her yesterday hurriedly came over and said, "General Su is here!"
This enthusiasm was mainly due to Su Liang's feat of defeating Wei Hao last night and winning a city for the Qian Kingdom.
The kitchen steward was a retired veteran who had been injured and had a good heart. They were not very impressed with Su Liang yesterday because they didn't know at that time that the Wan family and his son left so quickly and did not cause any turmoil. In fact, Su Liang had done a lot of things secretly.
"You guys are busy, I just came over to take a look and solve any problems in time." Su Liang smiled.
The steward said cheerfully, "According to General Su's instructions, I changed a lot of things overnight. I'm using it today. It's fast, good, and labor-saving! It's much cleaner than before! The recipes given by General Su are also good, and I can make them."
The food is much more delicious!”
Su Liang looked around and asked the steward to write down the problem immediately.
Then she and Lin Bojun sat near the kitchen and each ate a bowl of freshly cooked stew.
"It's okay." Lin Bojun said.
Su Liang felt that the taste was just the same, it could fill the stomach, but it looked much more pleasing to the eye than yesterday. At least he knew what he was eating, and it was full of oil and water.
Su Liang was going back to the General's Mansion, and Lin Bojun said to see her off.
Su Liang didn't refuse, knowing that Lin Bojun wanted to see Pingjing.
The two met Chen Yun at the gate of the military camp who was going home.
"Are you two going for a drink? I'm treating you to a few drinks together!" Chen Yun said with a smile.
Lin Bojun shook his head, "Xiao Liang doesn't like drinking. I'll take her back."
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and saw that Lin Bojun and Su Liang had left on horseback. He stared at Su Liang's back, feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before...
…
Lin Bojun followed Su Liang into the room. It was already dark outside.
Su Liang lit the lamp and pointed to Lin Bojun's study door, and he went in.
Su Liang was not sure whether Ning Jing was there at first, but when she saw that Lin Bojun didn't come out after going in, she was there. She went out, closed the door, and went to the kitchen to make supper for Ning Jing.
Lin Bojun happened to be here, so I made more for him to eat.
Not long after, Su Liang was chopping vegetables when Ning Jing came in.
"Second Brother Lin is gone?" Su Liang asked.
Ning Jing shook his head, "Yes."
"Why don't you stay with him?" Su Liang continued to chop vegetables.
Ning Jing sat down and added firewood to the fire, "I said I would light the fire, but he told me to hurry up."
No rabbits were eaten during the day. When Su Liang went to the military camp, Ningjing caught one and had already taken care of it.
Su Liang made a pot of spicy rabbit meat, stir-fried a vegetarian dish, and made mushroom soup noodles.
When the midnight snack was served, Lin Bojun looked forward to it, "I haven't eaten anything good since I went out. You enjoy it every day and you don't even call me, it's true!"
After saying this, Lin Bojun picked up a piece of rabbit meat. It was so spicy that he breathed out, and it was so fragrant that he almost bit his tongue.
"Are you drinking? I'll buy it." Su Liang said. There is no wine here, so she doesn't drink, and Ningjing rarely takes the initiative to drink.
"No need." Ning Jing said.
"I should have known I had asked for the wine that General Zhou gave to Uncle Xing." Lin Bojun was eating meat and really wanted to drink two glasses of wine.
Ning Jing put down her chopsticks, stood up and went out.
Not long after, he came back and brought back a jar of wine.
"There is a wine cellar in the house. The wine is collected by the Wan family and his son," Ning Jing said.
Su Liang said that although she lived here, she had no idea that someone really had a pair of eyes that were good at discovery.
Lin Bojun was very pleasantly surprised. He opened the bottle and took a deep breath, "Good wine! Ah Jing, let's have a few drinks!"
Ning Jing drank with Lin Bojun.
Lin Bojun's drinking capacity was average. After a few drinks, he became a little tipsy. While fighting for meat with Ning Jing, he was missing his beloved fiancée.
The bottom of a large plate of spicy rabbit meat was gone, and the vegetarian dishes were also finished.
Lin Bojun ate another large bowl of mushroom noodle soup and exclaimed that he felt relieved.
"Are the mushrooms picked by someone delicious?" Su Liang asked. It was indeed picked by Ningjing, and he left some to bring back as a midnight snack.
Lin Bojun's cheeks were slightly red and he smiled, "It's delicious! When I return to the capital, I will take Yu Jin to pick mushrooms!"
As he said that, Lin Bojun looked at Su Liang, then at Ning Jing, and slapped Ning Jing on the shoulder, "A Jing, you are so clingy. You chase Xiao Liang all day long, and you say you don't like her? Are you?
Man? Just admit that you are a man!"
After saying this, without waiting for Ning Jing to react, Lin Bojun lay down on the table, unable to get up.
Ning Jing stood up to put away the dishes, but Lin Bojun suddenly raised his arms high again and said drunkenly, "You... you will enter the bridal chamber tonight! Otherwise, A Jing, you are not a man! Xiao Liang... you are not... a woman!"
Su Liang and Ning Jing looked at each other.
Ning Jing looked calm and said, "He wants to enter the bridal chamber."
Su Liang rolled up his sleeves, "I'll go back to the capital and kidnap Yu Jin!"
If Lin Bojun was awake at this time and saw the strange reactions of these two people, he would definitely say: Psycho!
