Ning Jing insisted, Su Liang reached out, and this time Ning Jing held her four fingers and shook them three times rhythmically.
Then Ningjing took the initiative to let go and said calmly, "Your hands are too small, this is the right way."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment before she realized that Ning Jing meant that the first time she held his hand, and the second time it was the other way around. Ning Jing thought the latter was more suitable.
Su Liang couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "Indeed. Usually the lady reaches out first and the gentleman shakes hands, but it doesn't have to be so strict."
"I'm definitely going." Ning Jing picked up what Su Liang had asked him before without any warning.
"In that case, it's settled." Su Liang said seriously, "When will you go to Nanfeng City?"
"Now." Ning Jing said and glanced out the window.
It's daybreak, the courtyard is foggy, and the trees are looming.
"Master, pay attention to safety." Su Liang said solemnly.
"Yes. Ask Peng Wei not to leave Ping'an Temple. I've agreed with him about the other matters." After Ning Jing finished speaking, he went out.
Su Liang stood inside the door, watching Ning Jing's thin figure quickly disappear into the hazy morning mist.
She turned around and closed the door. She saw that the table was clean, the dishes had been put away and put aside, and the bedding on the bed was the same as when she left.
Su Liang took the medicinal materials she brought specially from Xuanbei City and went next door.
Peng Wei was sleeping soundly, his face as pale as paper.
Su Liang carefully held his wrist hanging by his side and took his pulse.
After all, he was old and was seriously injured. Although he was treated in time, the current situation was not good.
Su Liang did not wake up Peng Wei. She closed the door and took the medicinal materials to find Master Puqing.
…
"Donor Wen, how is Donor Peng's health?" Master Puqing asked as soon as he saw Su Liang.
Su Liang shook his head, "It's not very good, but it's not that bad either."
Master Puqing sighed slightly, "Amitabha."
After hearing Su Liang's suggestion to boil medicine for Peng Wei, Master Puqing called a monk, gave him the medicine, told him how to boil it, and brought it over after it was boiled.
After the monk left, Su Liang came out from behind the bookshelf and said, "Thank you, Master." It takes time to boil the medicine, but she had to go back and watch Peng Wei. Although it was already dawn, there was no chance that Wei Yao would send another wave of killers.
Big, but just in case.
"When the medicine is ready, I will send it to you along with breakfast," Master Puqing said.
Su Liang expressed his thanks again and went back.
…
Peng Wei was still asleep, and Su Liang planned to take a nap to recharge his batteries.
No matter how energetic I am, I can't stand to stay up all night.
She lifted the quilt and lay down on the small bed without taking off her clothes, with her feet dangling outside so that she could get up at any time.
Covering her with a quilt, Su Liang fell asleep quickly as the warmth came over her.
When I woke up again, Master Puqing came to deliver medicine and breakfast.
The sun rose and dispersed the thick fog.
Today is April 15th, when the incense in the temple is at its strongest, and many pilgrims have already gone up the mountain.
Su Liang stood on the porch and smelled the scent of incense floating in the air.
After Master Puqing handed the things to Su Liang, he entered the room and took a look at Peng Wei before coming out.
"Donor Wen is here on a trip? Are you going back to the capital of Qian Kingdom again?" Master Puqing asked.
Su Liang nodded, "I should go back in a few days. Master, do you have anything to say to Cheng Yun?"
Master Puqing took out a thin cloth bag from his sleeve, which looked like a book, "Donor Wen, please give this to my disciple."
Su Liang took it and said, "No problem, don't worry, Master, I will definitely deliver it to him."
Master Puqing put his hands together and said, "Thank you very much."
The old monk left, and Su Liang went into Peng Wei's room again and woke him up.
Peng Wei just woke up and was a little confused, as if he didn't know where he was.
"Old man, your son-in-law bribed people around you to kill you yesterday, do you remember?" Su Liang hit the nail on the head.
Peng Wei looked shocked and came to his senses, "Little girl, where is your brother?"
Su Liang sat down by the bed and picked up the medicine bowl, "He went to Nanfeng City to take Wei Yao's head. Didn't I always agree with you?"
Peng Wei drank the medicine and remained silent.
"Don't ever regret it. There is no turning back when you open your bow." Su Liang said.
Peng Weihan said with a face, "What do I regret? I wish I could cut that beast into pieces with my own hands!"
Su Liang nodded, "That's right! He bullied your daughter, mutilated your son, and even killed you. If you still can't bear to let him die, then just wait until your whole family dies in his hands!"
The words are harsh, but very realistic.
Peng Wei was already awake and could no longer think about Wei Yao.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Peng Wei said with a grimace, "It's so painful. Is there any sugar?"
Su Liang:...She never thought that such an irritable old general would be afraid of hardship...
But Su Liang does have sugar. It is her exclusive secret herbal sugar pill, which tastes sweet and refreshing. The purpose is to freshen the breath, because she often has no condition to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth when going out.
Su Liang went to the next door, opened the medicine box, and saw the oil paper bag inside. She was stunned for a moment. She knew that it contained chicken bones without opening it. She had forgotten about it, and Ning Jing had always been a person with perfect details.
Su Liang took the bottle of sugar pills and came back and gave one to Peng Wei.
"It's delicious, are there any more?" Peng Wei stared eagerly at the white porcelain bottle in Su Liang's hand.
"Take another one and have breakfast." Su Liang gave Peng Wei another one.
Put the rest aside and put out breakfast.
It is very comfortable to eat some light vegetarian food in the temple in the morning, such as porridge and side dishes, and steamed buns with wild vegetables.
Su Liang thought the buns were good, and there were four in total. She ate two, gave one to Peng Wei, and planned to leave the remaining one to Ning Jing so he could come back and try it.
When Peng Wei finished eating and asked for more, Su Liang said seriously, "You can't eat too much at this time. Drink more porridge."
When it was time to drink porridge, Peng Wei sat up on his own without letting Su Liang feed him. He was not used to it.
"Your brother, can you?" Peng Wei asked Su Liang.
Su Liang hummed, "Of course, it's very good."
When Peng Wei heard this, his eyes flashed, "Little girl, tell the truth, you and your brother, are you sure you don't mean that?"
"We are brothers, old man, please don't think wildly, it will not be conducive to recovery." Su Liang chuckled.
Peng Wei shook his head, "Not shy at all, probably not. But he must be interested in you, but he just doesn't dare to show it out of peace. Otherwise, why would such a powerful master run around for you? He can do whatever you ask him to do.
what?"
"No, no, no," Su Liang shook his head, "Old man, that's not the truth. He was entrusted by others, and he is so dedicated, of course for Ting Jing. If you guess that he is interested in Ting Jing, I think it is more reasonable. This way
I think, and I also think, he might have fallen in love with my fiancé, right?"
Peng Wei looked at Su Liang thinking seriously, with black lines on his head, "Little girl, stop teasing me!"
"I'm not joking." Su Liang said nonsense seriously.
The corner of Peng Wei's mouth twitched, "Forget it, I can't understand what you young people are doing."
Changing the subject, Peng Wei mentioned his son again, "Do you still count on the promise you made to treat my son yesterday?"
"Of course." Su Liang nodded.
"Okay. After the storm subsides, if everything goes well, I will arrange for Peng Qian to find you. Although it is not convenient for him to move, it is indeed inappropriate for you to go to Liang Country yesterday." Peng Wei sighed deeply, " Don’t blame me for what I said last night.”
Su Liang smiled and said, "I understand. The old man just loves his son very much, so it doesn't matter."
"Such a good little girl, it's a pity that she is not my granddaughter." Peng Wei expressed his deep regret that Su Liang was not born into his family very frankly.
"When the world becomes peaceful someday, I wouldn't mind calling you Grandpa Peng." Su Liang smiled.
Peng Wei knew what she meant. Even though they were in a cooperative relationship, their positions were fundamentally different after all, and unnecessary involvement on the surface would not be good for anyone.
"I hope I can hear it in my lifetime." Peng Wei looked a little worried. He was worried about himself, his family, and the future and destiny of Liang Kingdom.
But looking at Su Liang's energetic face, Peng Wei felt inexplicably that it might be not only the blessing of the Qian Kingdom, but also the blessing of the Liang Kingdom that the Qian Kingdom had such a generous, sensible and promising general...
After breakfast, Su Liang asked Peng Wei to rest.
According to what he had negotiated with Ningjing last night, Master Puqing sent two capable disciples to Nanfeng City to inform the Liang Kingdom army that Peng Wei was almost killed in the temple yesterday when he was assassinated, but was saved by Master Puqing, so that Nanfeng City The guard quickly sent someone to take Peng Wei back.
Monks do not lie.
But Master Puqing was not a rigid old monk. After Peng Wei explained the root of the matter to him, he agreed to his request.
At this time, the two monks who went to Nanfeng City to report the news had already set off.
If things go well, Ningjing will kill Wei Yao before Peng Wei goes back. After Peng Wei goes back, he tells everyone personally that the people who want to kill him are from Yan State, intending to frame Qian State, who is in peace talks with Liang State, and provoke Liang State. Fight the war between the two countries.
The people of the Liang Kingdom will definitely believe this kind of thing, because it is completely in line with the cunning and shameless nature of the people of the Yan Kingdom. They have done this before, not only once, twice and three times, but the Liang Kingdom was deceived miserably.
In fact, this is the reason why Wei Yao must let Peng Wei die between Nanfeng City and Xuanbei City.
Not just because Peng Wei disagreed with him and would block his plan.
It was even more because he had to take advantage of the tragic death of Peng Wei, the veteran general with the highest prestige in the army, to give him a reason to send troops to Qian Guo and also give him a chance to win over the morale of the army.
Otherwise, if Wei Yao rashly orders the attack on Qian Country for no reason, Peng Wei will definitely not be the only one who opposes it.
Now, the key to the matter is whether Ning Jing can successfully get rid of Wei Yao.
…
Nanfeng City.
The south gate is open and people can still come and go freely.
Today, many people want to go to Heian Temple to offer incense, but they have not encountered any restrictions.
The city is not too peaceful, because Liang Kingdom gave this city to Qian Kingdom, and the army will move out soon, and the people can leave or stay.
Some people left and planned to settle elsewhere in Liang Kingdom.
Some people stayed because they believed what Peng Wei said, that the State of Qian would not treat them badly and let them live their lives without having to worry about the disputes.
Wei Yao's secret activities cannot be known to anyone.
Originally, according to the plan, Peng Wei died before returning to the city yesterday. After his body was returned, he would raise his arms and lead his troops to kill Xuanbei City.
Unfortunately, an accident occurred.
The cronies around Peng Wei whom he bribed did not send any messages back.
He arranged for experts to go to Ping'an Temple last night to get rid of Peng Wei. As a result, it was almost noon and no one came back.
Without Peng Wei's body, he couldn't send troops, otherwise people would think he was crazy. After all, he took it upon himself to let Wei Hao compete with Su Liang, the top military champion of the Qian Dynasty, and lost a city. He also asked Peng Wei to go to peace talks, but there was no chance. What's the point of hitting for no reason?
Wei Yao was extremely anxious.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Wei Yao kept pacing in the study, with a gloomy look on his face, "What's going on? Why is that old immortal's life so tough? Or is he surrounded by experts to protect him?"
Wei Hao snorted coldly, "I think grandpa may not trust dad a long time ago. He has a very powerful old friend. I met him once, and maybe he is by his side now!"
Wei Yao's face froze, "Then...could it be that he already knew it was us..."
Wei Hao shook his head, "Dad, you are too nervous. So what if grandpa knows about it? How can there be any hatred between the family? His son is dead, and if he doesn't count on his father, who else can he count on? Let your mother cry a few times. , if I kneel down to plead for dad again, won’t the old man turn a big deal into a trivial matter? Besides, how can he dare to speak out about this kind of thing? If something happens to dad, the Peng family will not end well! "
Wei Yao nodded repeatedly, "You are right! But I am really unwilling to accept it! It was a great opportunity, but the people of Qian country believed that we were short of food and did not dare to fight!"
Wei Hao sighed, "Who says it's not the case? It's all my fault for that old bone of grandpa. At such an old age, he should be laid to rest early and not hinder our future. He loves me so much, so he should be able to understand us!"
"Your surname is Wei, and his surname is Peng. Do you love me? It's just an illusion!" Wei Yao said coldly.
Wei Hao agreed, "If my uncle hadn't been crippled by someone else, my grandpa wouldn't have cultivated him at all. He would always focus on his own son before doing anything good! Now let him choose between me and Peng Fan, of course he will I will choose Peng Fan! So don’t blame us for being cruel!”
"Stop talking nonsense!" Wei Yao frowned, "Now we can only wait for the old immortal to come back before deciding what to do."
"Dad, do you know what I regret most?" Wei Hao asked.
Wei Yao shook his head, "What?"
Wei Hao's eyes were evil, "Originally, if we captured Xuanbei City, what I wanted to do most was to capture the woman who defeated me that night, rape her first and then kill her, hahahaha! Now that I think about her appearance, I’m all so itchy!”
When Wei Yao heard this, he clenched his fists and said, "No matter what, we must get rid of Peng Wei and frame it to Qian Guo. Only when our plan is completed will you have the opportunity to do whatever you want!"
The Wei family father and son did not know that their "conspiracy" had been overheard by someone.
There was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Wei Yao's expression condensed.
The voice of his confidant came from outside the door, "Master, there is news from Heian Temple!"
Wei Yao looked shocked, "Come in quickly!"
The door opened. Wei Yao looked at the people who came in and asked eagerly, "What's wrong? Is Peng Wei dead?"
"Dead." Ning Jing whispered.
"Great!" Father and son Wei Yao and Wei Hao high-fived each other with excited expressions.
Ning Jing moved his steps, and when they were unprepared, a sword penetrated their necks!
Ningjing is the hand that comes out from Wei Hao's back, facing Wei Yao face to face.
Wei Yao looked at him in disbelief, "You..."
Ningjing added the word "dead" before, "I mean, you."
"Who are you..." Wei Hao had died, and Wei Yao was vomiting blood.
Ning Jing did not answer, and drew his sword. The father and son fell together. Wei Yao struggled a bit, opened his mouth wide, and spit out a mouthful of blood. He tilted his neck and stopped moving.
Ning Jing dropped the sword in his hand.
That was really the weapon of Wei Yao's closest subordinate. And that subordinate was arranged by his secret lover from the Yan Kingdom.
Ning Jing left the general's mansion secretly, took off her disguise, took off her mask, and walked into a small shop in a familiar way.
"The young master is here again." The old butcher still remembered that Ning Jing had come a few days ago, and asked him cheerfully what he wanted today.
"Two pieces of bacon." Ning Jing said.
"Okay!" The old man weighed the meat and quoted the price.
Ningjing paid the money, said no change was needed, and asked for a clean basket, put the bacon in it, covered it with a cloth, carried it out of the shop, crossed Nanfengcheng Street, and walked in the direction of Ping'an Temple.
When Ningjing left the city, two monks who came from Ping'an Temple to report the news had already gone to the General's Mansion.
…
Waiting until noon, Su Liang finally saw Ning Jing coming back.
"How?" Su Liang asked quickly.
Ning Jing nodded slightly.
Su Liang smiled brightly, "I knew that the great master would be foolproof. What kind of killer is Yan Shiba? Compared with you, he is so weak."
"I will tell Yan Shiba." Ning Jing said.
Su Liang was very calm, "I dare to say it in front of her. Is Wei Yao's head in the basket?"
Ning Jing handed over the basket, Su Liang opened it, coughed lightly and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll make something delicious for you when I send Old Man Peng off and return to Xuanbei City."
After saying that, Su Liang put down the basket and said, "I'm going to tell Old Man Peng that his good son-in-law is dead."
Ning Jing said, "I will kill Wei Hao too."
Su Liang was about to go out, paused, came back, closed the door, frowned and asked Ning Jing, "Isn't this part of the plan you discussed with the old man?"
Ning Jing nodded, "He said, don't touch Wei Hao."
"Because you found out that Wei Yao and Wei Hao and his son conspired to kill Old Man Peng?" Su Liang frowned, "In this way, he died unjustly, but the old man may be very sad. After all, he was once his beloved grandson, but he turned out to be a wolf-hearted person.
s things."
After saying that, Su Liang planned to explain to Peng Wei. Just as she was about to go out, she came back, took out a cold bun from the covered bowl on the table and handed it to Ning Jing, "The breakfast I left for you, this tastes good.
