The "assassin" pulled off the black cloth covering his face, revealing an old and lean face. He glared at Su Liang. It was Uncle Liang.
"You must know where the young master is!" Uncle Liang's eyes were full of persistence.
Su Liang stared at him. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "Since you came to see me tonight, I just have something to say to you. It's not convenient here. You can come to my house later."
Uncle Liang was stunned, and then his eyes became wary.
Su Liang knew what he was thinking at a glance and rode his horse past him, "Didn't you say that I, a martial arts champion, don't know the heights of the world? Are you afraid that I will harm you?"
Uncle Liang frowned, and when he turned around, Su Liang had disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Uncle Liang snorted and quickly disappeared.
Su Liang arrived at the door of the house and was about to dismount and open the door when a person jumped out of the wall and said, "Miss Su is back!"
It's Qi Jun. He doesn't know where Su Liang has gone, so he is waiting here.
"Thank you for your hard work. You should go back and rest. Come back tomorrow." After Su Liang finished speaking, Qi Jun had already opened the door, and she rushed in on horseback.
Qi Jun closed the door from the inside and said to Su Liang, "All my subordinates' bedding has been moved here. How about living in the courtyard closest to Yuanming Pavilion?"
Su Liang responded from afar, "You can do whatever you want."
When Qi Jun took Su Liang's horse away to feed it, Uncle Liang arrived.
Su Liang did not invite him into Yuanming Pavilion, but sat in the pavilion on the other side of the lake. He had a clear view and did not have to worry about being overheard.
Qi Jun came back from feeding the horse and saw Su Liang sitting with someone in the pavilion from a distance. He immediately turned around, pretended not to see anything, and went to the kitchen next to Yuanming Pavilion to boil water.
It is rumored that the deceased "Ning Jing" was originally protected by an expert. It was because he cared too much about Su Liang and ordered an expert to protect her when she was going to Xuanbei City, which led to his death.
Xing Yusheng said that such rumors were not credible, and Qi Jun also felt that. But the fact that Su Liang had a mysterious friend was not surprising to Qi Jun.
…
The night breeze is slightly cool.
There is a chess board carved on the stone table. It was the work of Gu Ling in his spare time, but whose handwriting cannot be seen.
Uncle Liang glanced down, then withdrew his gaze, looked at Su Liang, and said in a bad tone, "What do you want to say, don't beat around the bush!"
Su Liang asked, "What do you want?"
"I just want to make sure that the young master is fine! Otherwise, I can't rest assured!" Uncle Liang snorted.
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, I believe you really care about him. You think you know him better than me, and you should know his strength very well. What do you think can happen to him?"
Uncle Liang's expression froze, "Then why doesn't he show up yet?"
"Maybe he went to visit the south." Su Liang said.
"Stop talking nonsense! The restoration of identity was requested by the young master, how could he ignore it?" Uncle Liang said coldly.
"What's the difference between him appearing tonight and him appearing a year later?" Su Liang asked.
Uncle Liang frowned and said nothing.
"Qianliang and Qianliang have formed an alliance, and Princess Yaoguang will become the crown prince of Qianguo. Do you think the emperor would regret and take it back when Gu Ling did nothing when he said he would pardon the grandson of King Yue?" Su Liangleng said.
Ask in a voice.
Uncle Liang blurted out, "Of course not!"
"That means there is no difference for Gu Ling between appearing tonight and appearing a year later. If he appears a year later, he will still have a year of freedom to go wherever he wants. But asking the King of Yue to intercede for him cannot be done at any time.
We all have a chance. The right time, right place, right people, and the best relationship between Qian Kingdom and Liang Kingdom can be achieved in many years. I am talking about now." Su Liang hummed. After all, the Liang Kingdom did not rekindle the war.
It is a return to peace, and her contribution is also there.
Uncle Liang's expression finally changed, "You mean, the young master asked me to find the King of Yue to handle the matter, but he didn't intend to restore his identity after the matter was completed?"
Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this difficult to understand? Don't you claim to know him better than me? Do you think he really wants to return to the capital, live alone in the mansion of a Lao Shizi, Chang Xin Hou, and be stared at by the royal family?
Every move? What good does that do him?"
Uncle Liang frowned fiercely, "Why did the young master still let me..."
Su Liang took a deep breath and resisted the urge to scold Uncle Liang, "My brain is a good thing, please use it." She looked at him and said coldly, "He doesn't want to come back, and he can't come back are two different things! Nowadays it's not very
Okay? He can play outside as long as he wants, and he can come back when he wants to come back one day!"
"But why does the young master want to come back here?" Uncle Liang was still trying to get into trouble.
Su Liang said angrily, "What if he wants to get married, have children in the future, and wants to live a normal life and stop hiding?"
Uncle Liang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes brightened, "I see! Could it be that the young master has fallen in love with a girl and plans to come back after the marriage is settled?"
Su Liang nodded, "There's nothing wrong with your idea. But before he left last time, nothing like what you mentioned happened."
Uncle Liang suddenly stopped talking again and stared straight at Su Liang.
Su Liang felt a little scared when she saw him, "Uncle Liang, what do you think I'm doing?"
Uncle Liang said in a faint tone, "Could it be that the girl that the young master is interested in is you?"
Su Liang chuckled, "We are just good friends, you are overthinking it." Considering someone's temperament, he would not confess his love to someone every minute.
Regarding the relationship with Gu Ling, Su Liang has thought carefully about it, and it's not that she is slow to react and can't feel anything. Although their relationship is indeed very good, in Su Liang's view, it is just because the two people's mode of getting along has always been the fusion of two very different people.
From the perspective of people here, the habits of the world may be considered close, but from the perspective of Su Liang's previous life, they are brother and sister who are close friends. Because they live together, there are many ways to take care of each other in life. And Gu Ling
She has been studying things from Su Liang's previous life seriously, including her thoughts, and her way of thinking when getting along with Su Liang is completely on her side.
Uncle Liang was still a little suspicious, "Are you serious? Could it be that you tricked me, right? My young master is so kind to you, but he just pities you and doesn't like you. I believe this. But you don't like my young master either?
I do not believe!"
Su Liang: ...As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No, Pan An is in the eyes of a loyal servant? That's not quite right either. In short, Uncle Liang just thinks that Gu Ling is unparalleled and no one is worthy of her...
Su Liang agreed with this, "That's true. In fact, I wanted to be with him at first, but he rejected me."
Uncle Liang hummed, "This is what I expected!"
Su Liang: ...Tonight she wanted to "solve" Uncle Liang's little trouble, as long as he was happy. Anyway, Su Liang told Duan Muchen, told Xing Yusheng, and told the Lin family that she loved someone
There is nothing shameful about the experience you want, you can just blurt it out.
Su Liang sighed deeply and looked at Uncle Liang earnestly, "It seems that the misunderstanding between us has been resolved. The next thing I really want to tell you is what I really want to tell you. Since Gu Ling was willing to take you there in the first place,
I think he believes in your loyalty. I can also see that you sincerely wish him well. But you need to understand that what he wants to do and what he doesn’t want to do cannot be the same as yours. Your loyalty
And kindness, more important than doing what he wants you to do, is never to do anything he doesn't like! He can live well without you, don't impose your ideas on him.
"
When Uncle Liang heard this, his face turned ugly, "A yellow-haired girl actually preached to me? Who do you think you are?"
Su Liang shrugged, "I am who I am."
Uncle Liang glared at her and said viciously, "Since you said you are friends with the young master, help me explain to him. I was wrong. I shouldn't have told the King of Yue about him without his consent!"
Su Liang held up her forehead, "Can you please stop begging me to do something as if you're going to tear me apart if I don't agree?"
"Can you help me with a word?" Uncle Liang snorted coldly.
Su Liang nodded, "Help. But I don't know when he will show up. Uncle Liang has a straightforward temper. Don't get involved with King Yue anymore, otherwise Gu Ling will only hate you even more. I have only one piece of advice for Uncle Liang."
, this is what Gu Ling said when he asked you to leave Sujiacun last year, don't worry about him anymore, you have children and grandchildren, go home and enjoy your old age in peace."
When Uncle Liang heard this, his expression was shocked, and he suddenly felt lonely, "But the young master is alone, alone..."
Su Liang said sternly, "No. Don't forget, he has Nian Jincheng, his only friend in the eyes of the world, and they should be together now."
Uncle Liang was stunned, "Nian Jincheng...I really forgot about him."
"If you have anything else to ask, just say it and I'll listen." Su Liang said.
"Who did you learn your martial arts from?" Uncle Liang looked at Su Liang and asked.
Su Liang hummed, "What do you think?"
Uncle Liang suddenly realized, "My young master taught me?! He taught a martial arts champion in half a year? That's amazing! Then aren't you my young master's apprentice? You can't be ungrateful!"
Su Liang nodded, "Yes, yes, that's what you said."
"Oh, it's all my fault after all. I made the young master angry and I don't want to see each other again." Uncle Liang sighed, "You are very smart. You are right. The young master is so powerful that he has no use for me. I
It's causing trouble for him. I'll listen to him and go back to Liang Kingdom tonight."
"Are you going to report the content of our conversation to the King of Yue?" Su Liang asked.
Uncle Liang shook his head, "I really didn't know that the young master hated the King of Yue so much, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do that kind of thing. Now that I know, why are you looking for him? This time, I am not coming with the King of Yue! There is no need to explain anything to him.
!”
"That's good. Please go slowly and I won't see you off." Su Liang nodded.
Uncle Liang stood up and disappeared.
As a result, when Su Liang was about to go back, he ran back again, looked at Su Liang and said, "You are now considered a respectable person. If my young master really comes back here and encounters any trouble, you have to help him!"
"
Su Liang solemnly promised, "I will."
Only then did Uncle Liang really leave.
Su Liang shook her head, walked around the lake, and went back to Yuanming Pavilion. What she did tonight was not intended to repair the relationship between Uncle Liang and Gu Ling. They should have gone their separate ways long ago, and there was no need to get back together. But enemies should be reconciled.
It is not appropriate to get married. Uncle Liang is not very smart, but he has no bad intentions towards Gu Ling. He can easily be taken advantage of and do irrational things.
Su Liang talking to Uncle Liang is also a way to solve the problem. There is no irreconcilable conflict between them.
…
Qi Jun is a very reliable subordinate. Su Liang doesn't need to worry about anything next. He has a lot of time to read every day and doesn't go out unless necessary.
In the meantime, Lin Wei and Chen Yun came to visit again, but this time Su Liang did not cook and entertain himself, but asked Qi Jun to buy food and wine from the restaurant.
During the dinner, Lin Qian mentioned Gu Ling, "I hope Gu Meiren can come back soon."
Chen Yun then asked, "Why? Do you know Marquis Changxin?"
"What is Marquis Changxin?" Lin Qian spoke casually to Su Liang, "The last Marquis Changxin was executed. It was so unlucky! He should have been named Gu Meiren! He was the only one so beautiful that I
A man who is convinced!"
Su Liang smiled half-heartedly, "Lin Ershan, are you saying that Gu Meiren is the most beautiful in the world, and you are the second?"
Lin Xian held his face in his hands and winked at Su Liang, "Isn't this young master beautiful?"
This action reminded Su Liang of Gu Ling's "Huahua", and he burst into laughter, "Beautiful, so beautiful!"
"Tch!" Lin Wei gave Su Liang a roll of his eyes, "I am the second best in the world, and you don't even look down on me, then only Beauty Gu can be worthy of you!"
Su Liang was still laughing, but Lin Wei said seriously, "Actually, you two are really well matched. It's not easy to find a man who can surpass you in terms of strength and mind. At least Gu Meiren's beauty is better than yours."
"It makes sense." Su Liang smiled and nodded.
"Really!" Lin Yi said seriously, "I'm not joking with you. If he really comes back to the capital, there's no guarantee that you won't be fascinated. If you want to fall in love with someone else, as a friend, I have to be picky. If it's Gu Meiren,
,I agree!"
"You're not my father, is it your turn to agree or disagree?" Su Liang snorted.
Lin Xie chuckled, "I can be your brother! As long as you call me Brother Sheng, I will definitely treat you as my sister from now on!"
Su Liang shook his head, "You have a biological sister. I don't need it, thank you."
Lin Wei also shook his head, "You're welcome. My words are valid forever. Su Xiaoliang, please think about it again."
…
The night before Situ Xie left, a banquet was held in the palace to see him off. Su Liang couldn't avoid it, so she went to attend it with Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing.
At the banquet, Situ Yao showed off her superb piano skills, and Su Liang watched Duanmu Chen listen intoxicated. It really sounded good, and she also liked the beauty playing the piano, which was pleasing to the eyes and ears. She thought about getting a good piano at home for Gu Ling to play.
, he must be very proficient.
Situ Xie did not ask Su Liang about Gu Ling again, which actually surprised Su Liang. She couldn't figure out whether this person really had no other intentions for Gu Ling or whether he was hiding it too deeply. She tended to think it was the latter.
.
When the banquet was over and Su Liang left the palace and returned home under the escort of Qi Jun, Gu Ling also saw Nian Jincheng on the other side.
Nian Jincheng didn't expect that Gu Ling would come to him suddenly. He only got the news yesterday that Gu Ling was pardoned. As for the fact that he himself had been pardoned, he didn't know yet.
"Why are you here? Where is Su Liang?" As soon as Nian Jincheng saw Gu Ling, he looked behind him.
Gu Ling shook his head, "She is in the capital."
"It's not convenient for her to come to the wedding banquet, so she asked you to give gifts?" Nian Jincheng sighed slightly, "Xiaoyu really wants to see Su Liang. When we got married, no one was invited. I just hope she can come."
Gu Ling didn't say anything, but took out Su Liang's letter to Yan Yu and handed it to Nian Jincheng.
Nian Jincheng took it with an inexplicable expression and frowned as he looked at it, "This..."
There was no need for Gu Ling to say anything. Although it was a letter written to Yan Yu, Nian Jincheng knew exactly what was going on as soon as he saw it.
"What do you think?" Gu Ling asked.
Nian Jincheng smiled bitterly, "I just want to get married to Xiaoyu as scheduled."
Gu Ling nodded, "If you give her the letter, she will reject you."
Nian Jincheng: ...his brother is as good as ever at stabbing both ribs and hearts...
However, Nian Jincheng only said that he was sorry for the postponement of the wedding, and it was not that he disagreed with Gu Ling and Su Liang's views. Especially the sentence in Su Liang's letter, "When you have children in the future, you can't let them watch their father have two pictures since they were young."
Face".
"You rest here while I go find Xiaoyu." Nian Jincheng put the letter back into the envelope and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"I'm hungry." Gu Ling said.
Nian Jincheng walked out, "I'm not Su Liang, I don't care about your food."
…
Even though he was committed to life, this was the first time Nian Jincheng came to Yan Yu's place late at night.
Yan Yu just felt a little surprised and thought there must be something important.
Hearing that Nian Jincheng said that Su Liang had sent a letter and that he had read it, Yan Yu looked happy and quickly took it and opened it.
Soon, Yan Yu frowned slightly and his eyes became serious.
Nian Jincheng waited for Yan Yu to read the letter and then asked her cautiously, "If you don't want to postpone the wedding, let's find another way..."
Yan Yu suddenly laughed, "Of course we have to postpone it. Su Liang is right, let's just do it!"
Nian Jincheng sighed deeply, "Xiaoyu, don't you have any regrets about postponing the wedding?"
Yan Yu saw Nian Jincheng looking a little hurt, and held his arm with a smile, "I'm waiting to be the general's wife. The dowry will be generous."
Nian Jincheng looked serious and said, "Okay, I also want you to marry me in a glorious way."
…
When Nian Jincheng returned to his residence, he saw Gu Ling eating the snacks Yan Yu had made for him.
Nian Jincheng looked at Gu Ling and said, "I want to stay with Xiaoyu for a few more days. There are some things that need to be arranged here. You can hang around nearby and we'll go together then."
Gu Ling finished the last piece of snack, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, put on his mask, and stood up, "No hurry. Say goodbye."
When Nian Jincheng came to his senses, where was Gu Ling's shadow in the room?
Nian Jincheng raised his forehead and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? You are obviously very anxious."
