"Do you still like Gu Ling?" Yan Qiqi looked coldly at the girl in plain clothes kneeling at his feet.
The girl was beating Yan Qi Qi's legs. When she heard this, her face stiffened and she said nothing.
Yan Shiqi slapped her to the ground, then stepped on her, his remaining left eye burning with anger, "Just because Gu Ling is good-looking? You women are all bitches! Bitches!"
The girl slowly got up, knelt in front of Yan Shiqi, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Master, I only hate Gu Ling now. He is a heartless person and doesn't care about anyone."
Yan Qiqi snorted, "What do you mean, don't you mean that if he waves, you will pounce on him? But he will not wave to you, haha. Nian Ruting, if I capture Gu Ling, you will kill him with your own hands.
Do you dare to kill him?"
The Nian clan that once existed in the capital has long since ceased to exist. The reason was that the famous and talented Fourth Miss Nian Ruxue and the insignificant Fifth Miss Nian Ruting teamed up to cheat in martial arts exams and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
On the day when the incident was revealed, Nian Ruxue was at home, but when her captors arrived, she had already disappeared.
Nian Ruting was in the center of the whirlpool and had no chance to escape. After entering the prison, in order to lure Gu Ling to rescue her, she betrayed Nian Jincheng, saying that he was secretly interacting with Gu Ling, who was still a fugitive rebel at the time, which led to Nian Ruting's death.
Jincheng also entered the prison.
That night at the top of Wangxiang Mountain, Yan Shiba, who was invited by Su Liang, captured Duanmu Che and brought him to the New Year.
In that transaction, Su Liangming was sent by the royal family to rescue Duanmu Che. In the process, Duanmu Che exchanged the Nian brothers and sisters at the same time, causing Nian Ruting to leave Tianlao because Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen were at that time.
The father and son originally planned to wait for Nian Jincheng to escape, and then use Nian Ruting, Gu Ling's unknown fiancée, to force Gu Ling to show up.
Of course it won't work, but Su Liang felt that the royal family must have a way to ruin Gu Ling's reputation, so it would be better to deal with it once and for all to avoid being criticized again.
Nian Ruting was thrown off the cliff by Su Liang himself, and the person following her was Yan Shiqi arranged by Yan Shiba.
The purpose of that time was to save Nian Jincheng, and he succeeded. He was sent to Su Liang's home by Yan Shiba.
Yan Shiba came and went in such a hurry that Su Liang forgot to ask Nian Ruting how to deal with it. But Yan Shiba did not forget that she told Yan Shiqi to kill Nian Ruting and throw her in a mass grave.
If Ruting is still alive this year, it was Yan Qi Qi who saved her life. At that time, Yan Qi Qi really tried to strangle her to death, which also caused her vocal cords to be injured and her voice was hoarse.
The reason why Yan Qi Qi was merciful at the last moment was because she saw her own reflection in Nian Ruting's face. Nian Ru Ting's obsession and persistence towards Gu Ling were very similar to Yan Qi Qi's following Yan Shi Ba like a shadow.
But Yan Shiqi didn't let Yan Shiba know that he didn't kill Nian Ruting. Because Yan Yun Tower was jointly managed by the two of them, Yan Shiqi also had great power and had many of his cronies, so he wanted to hide it
It was too easy to get past Yan Shiba, who had no suspicion about him.
Yan Qiqi even found someone to treat Nian Ruting's broken leg. Now she has no problem moving, but she can still walk with a limp.
At this moment, Yan Shiqi asked Nian Ruting if she dared to kill Gu Ling? In fact, he was also asking himself, would he be willing to kill Yan Shiba?
the answer is negative.
When he thought of Yan Shiba's death, his infatuation for many years ached, and then he felt unwillingness to do so. He had sacrificed so much and got nothing, how could he be willing to accept it?
Without waiting for Nian Ruting to answer, Yan Qi Qi sneered, "Wait, if Gu Ling dares to show up, I will arrest him, and then use his life to force Shi Ba to marry me! Hahahaha!"
Kneeling on the ground, Nian Ruting's originally stagnant eyes suddenly moved, and she looked up at Yan Qiqi. Her face, which was three points more beautiful than Nian Ruxue's, was thin and pale, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Master
, let Gu Ling marry me! Then Yan Shiba will give up!"
Yan Qiqi looked at Nian Ruting and narrowed his eyes, "No wonder you were fooled in the past. There is something wrong with your brain! If Gu Ling ignored you, you wouldn't be like this now. Don't tell me that you
Is there a way to get him to marry you? Because you saved his mother? Or because you harmed Nian Jincheng?"
Nian Ruting's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, "I...I have a marriage contract with him! His mother set it!"
Yan Qiqi snorted, "I remember correctly, it was Nian Ruxue who was engaged to him. Even if Nian Ruxue really took away your credit, the only thing you should have done in the beginning was to kill Nian Ruxue!
idiot!"
Nian Ruting's face was sullen, and Yan Qiqi suddenly sneered again, "As long as you serve me well, when you catch Gu Ling, you won't be able to find a way to make him do good things with you."
"Thank you, Master!" Nian Ruting kowtowed.
Yan Qi Qi had known for a long time that Yan Sui died at the hands of "Ning Jing". He had also dealt with "Ning Jing" in Xunyang City.
When he learned that "Ning Jing" was dead, Yan Qi Qi was also surprised, but he did not think of Gu Ling. Yan Sui, who was once invincible in the eyes of Yan Qi Shi, could die, but someone stronger than "Ning Jing" appeared and killed him
, it is not impossible for Yan Qi Qi.
The key is that only Yan Shiba knows that "Su Liang likes Gu Ling".
Although Yan Shiba always asked people from Yanyun Tower to find Gu Ling, he never told anyone, including Yan Shiqi, that he was looking for Su Liang. Including the time when he saved Nian Jincheng, Yan Shiqi asked
Why, Yan Shiba casually said that she would use Nian Jincheng to force Gu Ling to show up.
The two of them had been like that since they were young, Yan Qi Qi was heart-to-heart, Yan Shi Ba was yelling at him, and when he was no longer needed, he was too lazy to say a word to him.
So much so that Yan Shiqi misunderstood that Yan Shiba liked Gu Ling and was looking for him all the time. To Yan Shiqi, Gu Ling was just a legendary beauty, and he didn't know about the others, and he didn't follow him at all.
Su Liang got in touch.
It was not until last night that Yan Shiba admitted that she liked Gu Ling. She was desperate at that time, just to deceive Yan Shiqi, and she must not let Yan Shiqi know that her real crush was a young monk from Huguo Temple.
The resentment and unwillingness accumulated in Yan Shiqi's heart finally broke out after Yan Guo narrowly escaped death.
He was blocking the knife for Yan Shiba and almost died. Yan Shiba thought he was dead, or didn't care whether he died or not, so he ran for his life. If Nian Ruting, who was secretly following him, hadn't saved Yan Shiqi, he would have died.
Huangquan.
After Yan Shiqi recovered from his injuries, he found his cronies in Yanyun Tower, seized Yan Shiba's power, and chased her for hundreds of miles.
This is also the reason why Gu Ling tried to lure Yan Shiba out two months ago, but to no avail. At that time, Yan Yun Tower was engaged in internal fighting.
When Yan Shiqi saw Yan Shiba again, he mentioned Su Liang.
"How about I invite the sister you call Liang to accompany you?" Yan Qi Qi looked at Yan Shi Ba's expression.
Yan Shiba laughed when he heard this, "Please, please quickly! Go right away!"
Yan Shiqi's expression changed, and his intuition was deceitful. He had known for a long time that Su Liang was very troublesome, but it was because of "tranquility" at that time.
"Ningjing" is dead, Yan Shiba still hopes that Su Liang will save her? Why?
Yan Qiqi stared, "Is there an expert around Su Liang?"
Yan Shiba hummed, "Are you scared?"
Yan Shiqi thought more, "No wonder she went from the village to the capital without any injuries. Who is her master?"
"It's your grandpa!" Yan Shiba snorted coldly, "I miss Sister Liang, hurry up and find her! If you don't find her, you have no idea!"
Yan Shiqi thought that Yan Shiba was provoking the generals, and it seemed not a good thing to provoke Su Liang and expose himself at this moment.
Thinking of this, Yan Shiqi left directly and never mentioned catching Su Liang again.
Yan Shiba can show the opposite reaction and tell Yan Shiqi not to touch Su Liang, so Yan Shiqi will definitely go find her.
But after Yan Shiqi was sure that Yan Shiqi would not kill her, she actually didn't want Yan Shiqi to find Su Liang at this time. Although she thought Gu Ling should be by Su Liang's side, this matter was just her guess.
.What if Gu Ling is not here and goes to do other things temporarily? Su Liang cannot withstand the strength of the entire Yanyun Tower.
On the one hand, Yan Shiba doesn't want anything to happen to Su Liang. On the other hand, only if Su Liang is good can he have a chance to save Yan Shiba.
Therefore, when Yan Shiqi heard the word Su Liang mentioned in Yan Shiqi's mouth, he made up his mind: he could not let Yan Shiqi go to Su Liang, it was best to let Yan Shiqi go to Gu Ling.
The two are not the same.
Su Liang has always been on the surface, but the mysterious Gu Ling has not yet appeared. After Gu Ling appears, Yan Shiqi looks for him, and no matter what he wants to do, he will never succeed. Even if Su Liang has been by Gu Ling's side, but
As long as it wasn't her who was directly targeted, Gu Ling could block it for her.
"Smelly couple... you two really know how to play..." Yan Shiba began to complain bitterly about Gu Ling and Su Liang again, "I really want to hug brother Xiaoyun..."
…
It was evening when Su Liang and his party arrived at Pingbeicheng.
She accompanied Gu Ling to Pingbeicheng to participate in the provincial examination and bought a house here. Last time she passed by Beijing and left, she rented an inn for others to stay this time. She took Bai Xiaohu and Qi Jun with her
Moved into the Su Mansion in Pingbeicheng.
Qi Jun and Bai Xiaohu lived in the same courtyard, and Su Liang moved into the same courtyard where she had lived with Gu Ling.
As night fell, Qi Jun and Bai Xiaohu went to a restaurant to have dinner. Su Liang didn't go, saying that she was very tired today and didn't want to eat.
The real situation is that Gu Ling has secretly bought some delicious food.
Returning to the place where he once lived, Su Liang felt a little emotional, "It happened last year. It feels like a long time ago. Master and Xue Qing have also settled in the capital, and they will never come back here again."
The Lin family originally lived in Pingbeicheng. After their two sons took the imperial examinations and became officials, Lin Shuzhi still stayed at Qianshan Academy as the dean. Lin Xueqing also grew up in the academy.
I remembered how I got to know them last year. At that time, Gu Ling was still pretending to be Lin Shuzhi's disciple "Ning Jing". When he saw Lin Xueqing in Qianshan Academy, he was called "Brother Jing".
At that time, Su Liang and Gu Ling came to Pingbei City and rescued Zheng'er with the little monk Chengyun. It was here that they met Wanhui. Before Wanhui came to pick up Zheng'er, Gu Ling once rescued Zheng'er.
Put the child in a bamboo basket and carry him to Qianshan Academy to play.
At this moment, Gu Ling listened to Su Liang talk about the past, his voice was brisk and particularly pleasant.
"Master, if you were given a chance to start over, would you take the same path again?" Su Liang asked.
After Gu Ling was silent for a moment, he nodded, "Yes." Because you are on this road...
In the dead of night, Gu Ling said he wanted to visit Qianshan Academy. Su Liang happened to not be sleepy, so the two of them went out secretly.
…
Standing on the hill behind Qianshan Academy, Gu Ling looked up at the sky. The moon was covered by dark clouds.
Su Liang was looking at three trees side by side, which were planted by Lin Boyan, Lin Bojun and Zhen Ningjing when they were children.
"Will Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng arrive in the capital at this moment?" Su Liang asked.
Gu Ling nodded, "Yes."
"If you don't show up, Nian Jincheng can't restore his identity on his own first, and the risk is a bit high. If I don't go back, I can't bring them together." Su Liang sighed, "Their wedding date will be postponed again."
"Don't be so anxious." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang shook his head, "You don't understand this, O God. When two people are in love, they naturally hope to get married as soon as possible, especially Nian Jincheng. Wasn't Xing Yusheng like that at the beginning? O God, you are not in love yet, so you can't
Understand them."
Gu Ling turned around in silence, with her back to Su Liang. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know who it was that she was still in love with...
But Gu Ling has not confessed his love to Su Liang so far. Firstly, it is because Su Liang is "still young" and he wants to follow the rules of her previous life and wait for her to turn eighteen.
Su Liang said that falling in love before the age of eighteen can easily affect your studies, and your body is not mature enough.
And Su Liang has indeed been studying and is very busy.
Secondly, Gu Ling felt that Su Liang now had no romantic feelings for him. He admired him, respected him, treated him like a close friend and brother, trusted him unconditionally, and had no distracting thoughts.
But the above two problems are not big. If Gu Ling confesses his love, he can pursue Su Liang, make Su Liang fall in love with him, and wait until he is eighteen years old before doing anything intimate.
And that's the problem.
Gu Ling thought that if he confessed his love, Su Liang accepted to date him, and their relationship became a couple, he might not be able to bear to wait for Su Liang to grow up...
Now, Gu Ling looked at Su Liang occasionally and was suppressing the idea of getting close. Although he didn't show it.
"Great God? Great God?" Su Liang called Gu Ling twice and pulled his sleeve again before he came back to his senses.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Su Liang asked curiously.
Gu Ling wanted to blurt out "I miss you", but gave up and said casually, "I'm wondering what the chance of survival would be if I jumped from here."
Where Gu Ling was standing, there was a cliff below. Su Liang glanced down and chuckled, "Master, this kind of curiosity is a bit dangerous. I'm really worried that one day you want to taste the taste of poisonous weeds and get yourself into trouble."
died."
"I'm not a fool." Gu Ling's tone was faint.
Su Liang shook his head, "You are not a fool, and you will not do stupid things are two different things."
Gu Ling thought, indeed, he is doing stupid things now, Moonlight... Although it is not very good, why not take the opportunity to confess? Maybe the result will be good? But what if Su Liang refuses and says she only wants to do it with him?
Friends, what should I do...
Su Liang noticed that Gu Ling was distracted again, so she tugged on his sleeve and turned around, "Master, stop sleepwalking and go back. We have to be on the road tomorrow morning."
Su Liang let go and walked in front. Gu Ling looked at her slender back and thought silently: It's better to keep it up...
