There is a resting place at the foot of Wolong Snow Mountain specifically for people going down the mountain, and it is brightly lit at this time.
When Gu Ling and Su Liang arrived as quickly as possible, Lin Bojun was preparing to lead his troops up the mountain to find Lin Wei again. At this time, there was a group of people on the mountain who were looking for him, but there was no news yet.
"Cousin?" Situ Zhang, one of the twins, saw Gu Ling.
Lin Bojun turned around in response, looking surprised, "Xiao Liang?! You're here!"
"Is this the miracle doctor Su Liangsu?" Situ Min, the other twin, came up to say hello to Su Liang, but Su Liang passed him and came to Lin Bojun's side.
"What's going on with Lin Wei?" Su Liang frowned and asked Lin Bojun. She knew Lin Wei. Although his personality was a little out of control, he was definitely not a fool and would not run around alone in a place like the snow-capped mountains.
Lin Bojun briefly explained what happened. They were about to reach the top of the mountain. The terrain was very steep, and there were guards from the Yue Palace in front and behind. A guard at the back of the team accidentally stepped on an icy slope and slipped. Lin
When he heard the scream, he was the first to rush to save the person, but he grabbed the guard, and the two of them slipped down the cliff together.
Everything happened too fast.
In fact, if Lin Xian hadn't rushed over, the people in the Yue Palace would not have chosen to save the first guard who slipped, even if he would be buried in the snowy mountain. Because such a thing has happened before, it is very difficult to save people.
They may be buried with him. And the guards have only one duty, to protect the master. Even if they sacrifice themselves, it can only be for the master.
All the guards know that if something happens to one of them, they don't have to worry about it.
But Lin Wei didn't know such rules. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have chosen to take this group of people to climb the mountain. Even if he found out after he came, given his character, he wouldn't ignore death.
While Lin Bojun informed Su Liang, Situ Zhang had already told Gu Ling, looking ashamed, "It's my fault that I didn't make it clear to General Lin beforehand. The guards who followed him up the mountain all signed life and death certificates."
Situ Zhang lied about this, and no one signed the life and death certificate.
Even if it exists, it is invisible. The selected guard can only accept his fate and consider himself unlucky if something goes wrong.
After Situ Zhang finished speaking his last words, he heard an angry female voice coming from the side, "If there is something wrong with Lin Xie, you can't afford the consequences!"
Situ Zhang knew that Su Liang was invited to save the emperor, so naturally he did not dare to offend her. He apologized again and promised to send all the people he could to find Lin Wei.
"Second brother, please go back and I'll look for him," Su Liang said to Lin Bojun.
Lin Bojun shook his head. He went with Lin Wei, and how could he feel at ease when he came back alone?
"You're tired, go back and rest, I'll go, there's nothing to discuss." Su Liang took away the hiking pole from Lin Bojun's hand without any explanation.
Without further ado, Lin Bojun didn't want to argue with Su Liang, and he was really exhausted, so he listened to her and found a leather jacket for Su Liang to put on.
But there are no hiking shoes suitable for Su Liang here, because no woman has ever gone up the mountain in this season. Su Liang said it was okay. After arriving in Liang Kingdom, she bought a few pairs of leather boots that looked bulky but had excellent warmth.
Lonicera chased after her, and Su Liang ordered her to stay and protect Lin Bojun.
"Second brother, we can't let her go. If something happens again, we really can't bear it." Situ Min walked to Situ Zhang and whispered.
Situ Zhang's expression changed, and the two brothers came together to persuade Su Liang not to go up the mountain.
Su Lianghan said with a face, "Okay, I don't have to go, then you can go."
Situ Zhang and Situ Min were defeated. After looking at each other, they didn't say anything. It was risky to enter the mountain during the day, let alone at night. They both cherished their lives.
"Since the two Master Situ can't go, don't stop me." Su Liang said coldly, "Lin Wei is an important friend of mine. When I find him, I will have a good chat with you two."
Seeing that Su Liang's tone was not kind, Situ Zhang turned around and saw Gu Ling beside him, and said quickly, "Cousin, please advise Doctor Su quickly, nothing will happen to her!"
As a result, Gu Ling asked a sharper question, "So it doesn't matter to you if something happens to Lin Wei?"
How could Situ Zhang and Situ Min dare to accept this? As for the activity of climbing the snow mountain, it was the two of them who proposed it. Situ Jing even objected for fear of something happening. Situ Zhang and Situ Min insisted that Lin Qian and Lin Bojun both
He is a martial arts practitioner, so nothing could happen to him. He lied that it was Lin Wei and Lin Bojun who must go.
But in fact, Lin Bojun and Lin Qian didn't know that they could climb Wolong Snow Mountain in winter. It was Situ Min who took the initiative to mention it and said it very lightly.
Situ Min was a famous romantic man in Yaocheng. He wanted to go because he made a bet to pursue a certain girl. But if he went by himself, Situ Xie and Situ Jing would not allow it, so they invited Lin Xie and Lin Bo.
Make a pretense.
Originally, if Lin Xi didn't save people, nothing would have happened.
Seeing that Su Liang was about to leave, Gu Ling followed him. Situ Zhang quickly stopped him and asked, "Cousin, where are you going?"
Gu Ling shook off Situ Zhang and said, "Lin Wei is my friend, I'm going to find him. You two can decide first who will be buried with Lin Wei if something happens to him."
Situ Zhang and Situ Min's expressions froze upon hearing this, and they could only watch as Su Liang and Gu Ling led people into the mountain.
By the time Situ Xie and Lin Boyan arrived, two quarters of an hour had passed since Su Liang and Gu Ling set out.
Situ Xie raised his hand and slapped Situ Zhang and Situ Min each, scolding them for sending the Lin brothers back to the post house to rest, and that he would personally lead troops into the mountains to search and rescue them.
As soon as Lin Boyan confirmed that Lin Bojun was fine, he felt a chill on his face and it started to snow again.
"We'll wait here." Lin Boyan said without trying to dissuade Situ Xie.
"That's fine." Situ Xie nodded, asked about the location of Lin Xie's accident, quickly made arrangements, and personally led the troops to set off.
Not long after, Peng Wei and Peng Fan's descendants also came. They didn't know Lin Wei and Gu Ling, but they came for Su Liang.
When he learned that Su Liang had gone into the mountain to look for someone, Peng Wei was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Why didn't anyone stop her?"
"Grandpa, let me take someone to find him." Peng Fan volunteered.
Peng Wei raised his foot and kicked him, "You haven't even entered Wolong Snow Mountain, what are you looking for?"
Peng Wei was the only precious grandson, and he never let Peng Fan participate in the mountain climbing competition, even though Peng Fan wanted to go several times.
Peng Wei asked Peng Fan to go home immediately and find the old housekeeper of Peng Mansion. He was Peng Wei's old subordinate and was very familiar with Wolong Mountain. They often went together when they were young. If Peng Wei hadn't been in poor health, he would have gone there in person.
.
So, not long after, the housekeeper of the Peng Mansion set off with a team that was very familiar with Wolong Snow Mountain and well-equipped. Peng Wei gave them the task of finding Su Liang and ensuring her safe return.
Su Liang had been walking in the mountains for an hour at this time. It was late at night, the temperature was extremely low, the wind and snow were blowing, and she felt that her face was freezing and she had to rub it with her hands from time to time.
If time goes back, Su Liang will still choose to go into the mountains to find Lin Xie. If they are in a different place, Lin Xie will definitely do such a thing for her.
Gu Ling walked beside Su Liang. Because there were other people around, the two of them had little communication.
Su Liang suddenly remembered the jade pendant given to her by Zheng'er, so she took one out of her purse, pretended to be slippery, and grabbed Gu Ling's hand.
Gu Ling felt a piece of jade being placed in the palm of his hand. Although he didn't know why Su Liang gave it to him, he still subconsciously held Su Liang's hand and said, "Miss Su, be careful."
When Gu Ling let go, the cold jade pendant had been warmed by the two people's hands. He held it in the palm of his hand and followed the guide forward while keeping an eye on Su Liang, fearing that she would fall.
…
This night is destined to be restless.
Situ Jing listened to Situ Min kneeling in front of him and told him the whole story, and kicked him to the ground, "If my grandfather knows about this, he will definitely kill you!"
"Brother, what should I do? If Lin really dies, I will be doomed!" Situ Min looked panicked.
Situ Jing stared, "Let everyone who knows about the bet disappear. I will just pretend that I don't know about this matter, and none of you are allowed to mention it again!"
Situ Min's face turned ugly, but Situ Zhang had already spoken, "I'll handle it. Third brother, please calm down and don't let others see your guilty conscience. Even if Lin Xian is really dead, we can't be entirely blamed."
"Gu Ling actually said that we should pay for Lin Qi's life. Who does he think he is? I really don't understand why my grandfather is so obedient to him." Situ Min stood up, his tone was not angry.
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped hard by Situ Jing again, "Shut up! Gu Ling is the Changxin Marquis of Qian Kingdom, not a member of the Situ family, remember!"
Situ Zhang quickly smoothed things over, "Third brother, please stop saying a few words. Don't be angry, brother. Third brother knows you were wrong."
In the middle of the night, Situ Yao brought hot soup and snacks, and Situ Jing asked her to take them to the Lin brothers. In addition, he also invited several imperial doctors from Liang Kingdom to wait here and had them prepare hot ginger soup.
The oiran from the largest brothel in Yaocheng, as well as the maid who served her, mysteriously disappeared that night. In order to avoid affecting the business, the madam lied that the oiran had contracted the cold and was sent elsewhere to recuperate.
…
The sky will be bright.
The first one to come back was Situ Xie. He looked tired and was being supported. When he learned that Su Liang and Gu Ling had not returned yet, his expression became ugly.
By daylight, the news had spread throughout Yaocheng.
The Prince of Liang Kingdom also came, and he only said a few symbolic words to Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun before leaving.
It wasn't until almost noon that good news finally came: Gu Ling and Su Liang had found Lin Wei and were on their way back!
Lin Boyan breathed a huge sigh of relief, as long as people are alive.
It was the people from the Su Liang faction who came back to report the news. By the time they returned safely, another hour had passed. Lin Wei and the guard he rescued were both injured and were carried back.
The snow was still falling. As soon as the Lin brothers saw Su Liang appear in their sight, they heard Lin Xie's teasing voice, "Su Xiaoliang, Gu Xiaoling has prepared a gift for you in Ningxiangju. You will definitely like it!"
"Marquis Changxin, is it true?" Su Liang asked.
Gu Ling shook his head, "Fake."
Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun both breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lonicera ran over and felt relieved when he saw that Su Liang's face was red from the cold but not injured.
Gu Ling's face looked even colder in the wind and snow. He ignored the wet corners of his clothes and looked like an immortal who had walked out of the snow-capped mountains.
Lin Xie broke his right arm, and the guard broke a leg. Other than that, they all had scratches. Fortunately, the two of them slipped down the mountain, and Lin Xie kept holding on to the guard in the middle, and tried his best to
Slow down, otherwise it will be difficult to save your life.
Lin Xin found a narrow crack near the landing place and dragged the guard in to hide from the wind, otherwise he would freeze to death.
Knowing that someone would definitely come looking for him, Lin Wei took turns with the guard, shouting three times every half-quarter of an hour. This way he could conserve his energy and send out a distress signal at the same time.
At that time, Lin Xian almost cried when he heard Su Liang calling his name.
As a result, when Su Liang finally saw Lin Wei, he was sitting cross-legged in the crevice of the mountain, his uninjured hand raised in front of him, and he recited, "Amitabha." Then he said with a smile on his face, "I beg the Buddha to send Su
Xiaoliang came to save me, and he actually came. In my previous life, I must have been a fairy boy under the throne of Buddha!"
Gu Ling stepped forward and pulled Lin Wei up, and he hugged him, "Gu Xiaoling, brother thought he would never see you again, are you scared?"
Su Liang briefly treated the wounds of Lin Wei and the guards he rescued, and then took them away.
When turning back, Su Liang and his party almost got lost because of the heavy wind and snow. Fortunately, they met a group of people sent by Peng Wei and successfully walked out of the snow-capped mountains.
…
In the post house.
Su Liang applied medicine to Lin Xi's wounds while Gu Ling watched from the side.
"Originally I wanted to explore the way for you and let you go mountain climbing together, but I didn't expect it to be so thrilling and exciting." Lin Wei chuckled, "Gu Xiaoling, after last night, do you think Su Xiaoliang is so cute?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "No."
"Su Xiaoliang, he is a duplicitous guy. You don't have to be polite. Just do whatever you want to him. If he dares not to do it, come to me." Lin Xian said to Su Liang seriously.
Su Liang hummed, "Looking for you? What can I do?"
Lin Xin hummed, "I'll cry to him!"
Su Liang: ...That’s not necessary.
"Stop making trouble, eat something and sleep well." Su Liang fixed Lin Xian's arm and told him not to move around.
"I can't hold the spoon with my left hand, Su Xiaoliang, please feed me," Lin Wei said.
"You and I are just ordinary friends. Don't let Marquis Changxin misunderstand by talking nonsense. He is the only one I like." After saying this, Su Liang turned around and left.
"Gu Xiaoling, did you hear it? Su Xiaoliang is confessing to you! Are you a piece of wood? Are you an ice cube in Wolong Snow Mountain? Are you unmoved by this?" Lin Wei was speechless.
Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "Whenever you cry, let me see it, and I can consider it."
Lin Xin blinked hard and found that it was very difficult to squeeze out tears. He really couldn't...
Gu Ling held the bowl and let Lin Xie hold the spoon with his left hand and drank a bowl of chicken soup.
…
"Don't worry, his arm is fine and can recover." Su Liang said and asked Lin Bojun, "Second brother, why do you think of climbing a snow mountain?"
Lin Bojun sighed, "The Third Young Master of Prince Linyi Tingyue mentioned that the scenery of the snow-capped mountains is extremely beautiful. In previous years, there was a mountain climbing competition at this time, so we decided to go and have a look. We didn't know that the mountains were so dangerous."
"Do you know that those guards signed life and death certificates?" Su Liang asked again.
Lin Bojun was stunned, "Life and death status? I have never heard of it."
When Su Liang mentioned the real purpose of Duanmu Yi sending her here this time, the Lin brothers all frowned.
"I will discuss with someone before deciding what to do. You just pretend you don't know." Su Liang said.
Gu Ling walked in, looked at Su Liang and looked away, "I'll go back to Prince Yue's Mansion first."
"I'm going too!" Su Liang stood up, "My luggage is still there."
Lonicera drove Gu Ling and Su Liang to Prince Yue's Mansion.
"What is this?" Gu Ling spread out his hand, and there was a drop-shaped black jade pendant lying in his palm.
Su Liang took out her piece and said, "This is a gift from Zheng'er."
Gu Ling knew that Su Liang would not give him a gift for no reason, so he was not disappointed when he heard this and put it in his purse.
Su Liang whispered the purpose of her visit. Gu Ling had heard about the master craftsman Mu and told Su Liang not to act rashly, and to tell him before doing anything and discuss the plan before taking action.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Prince Yue's Mansion. Su Liang got out of the carriage first and reached out to help Gu Ling, but Gu Ling avoided it and went straight in.
Su Liang chased after him and met Situ Xie and Situ Jing's grandparents halfway.
"Doctor Su, how is General Lin's health?" Situ Jing looked concerned.
"I can't die." Su Liang looked indifferent.
"What happened yesterday was due to our poor arrangements. The king has already punished Zhang'er and Min'er, and was about to visit General Lin." Situ Xie sighed.
"I heard from the second young master of your house that the guards who followed up the mountain all signed life and death certificates. I want to see." Su Liang said with a cold face.
Situ Xie nodded when he heard this, "Okay. Ling'er will take Divine Doctor Su to Ningxiang Residence to rest first. Jing'er, go get it and give it to Divine Doctor Su for review."
"Yes, grandfather." Situ Jing responded.
"I'm not tired, let's go together." Su Liang refused to give in.
Situ Jing urged again, "Shendoctor Su came here in a hurry and hasn't had any rest yet. It's better to go to Cousin Ling's place and sit down first."
"I'm really not tired. Mr. Situ doesn't believe me. Let's make some gestures?" Su Liang insisted.
…
A quarter of an hour later, the matter was "ascertained": because climbing in this season is risky, Situ Jing had told him to sign the life and death certificate. If the guard died, his relatives would be given a large pension. Situ Zhang asked Situ Min to go
Situ Min was careless and forgot about this matter. When Situ Zhang asked about it before departure, Situ Min lied and said that he had already signed it, and said that he had mentioned it to Lin Wei and Lin Bojun.
Therefore, Situ Zhang did not lie. The fault lies with Situ Min alone.
Su Liang knew that there was no such thing as life and death, and if she didn't ask further questions, it would end in the end. But she refused to let him go, and the Situ family had no choice but to push Situ Min to take responsibility.
It seems that Su Liang is aggressive, but the fact is that if Lin Bojun and Lin Wei had known from the beginning that climbing Wolong Snow Mountain was so dangerous that the guards would have to sign a life and death certificate, they would not have gone at all.
In the end, Su Liang watched with his own eyes as Situ Min was beaten fifty times with a cane until his skin and flesh were torn, and he passed out.
"Since His Highness the King of Yue has acted impartially and repaid Lin Xian's justice, this matter ends here. I will go to the Marquis Changxin to drink tea first, and then I will go to the palace to treat Emperor Liang. The King of Yue will then send someone to Ningxiang Residence to call me.
"Su Liang finished speaking and left with Lonicera.
Situ Jing asked someone to take Situ Min for treatment. He walked to Situ Xie and whispered, "Grandpa, Su Liang is a mere imperial doctor from the Qian Kingdom. She was so strong when she first arrived. It's because of her flamboyant nature that she ignored the misfortune."
Consequences, or is there another purpose?”
"Did Min'er get beaten unjustly?" Situ Xie looked at Situ Jing with eyes as bright as fire.
Situ Jing's face turned solemn, "The third brother is indeed at fault in this matter. He is not unjustly beaten."
"Don't underestimate Su Liang, she is more than just an imperial doctor." Situ Xie left a meaningful message and went out to the posthouse to visit the injured Lin Xie.
…
Ningxiangju.
Su Liang looked at Situ Ning's portrait on the wall and sighed, "Your mother is so beautiful!"
Gu Ling opened the medicine box that Su Liang had put on the table yesterday and saw several medicine bottles he had never seen before, so he took one out.
Su Liang turned around and saw it, and quickly walked over, "Don't touch it!"
Gu Ling just uncorked the bottle and put it back again, "What kind of poison is it?"
Su Liang took the medicine bottle back and said two words, "Aphrodisiac."
Gu Ling frowned slightly, "What are you using this for?"
Su Liang put the medicine bottle at the bottom of the medicine box, took out another medicine bottle and handed it to Gu Ling, "This is a gift for you. It can cure all the aphrodisiacs I know so far."
Gu Ling took it, opened it and smelled it, and heard Su Liang say, "I have spent a lot of effort on this. Remember to bring it with you, so as not to be drugged by some witch!"
Gu Ling held the medicine bottle in his hand, his eyes suddenly turned gentle, "Did you make it specially for me?"
Su Liang, who was taking things from the baggage, shook his head, "That's not true. I made it for myself to defend myself. I'll give you one by the way. By the way, Lin Ershan said that Ningxiangju has a gift you prepared for me. It's
What?"
Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Me."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "What?"
Gu Ling said, "He was talking about me."
Su Liang chuckled, "Oh, I understand. If it weren't for the fact that he fell off the cliff yesterday, when I came, Lin Ershan would have packed you up and given it to me? Then I would have to put the great god in a box and tie a big bow on it.
Otherwise, the gift has no soul."
Gu Ling:......
"But you two are quite in love together." Su Liang said with a smile.
Gu Ling frowned, "Stop."
Su Liang shook his head, "I mean, as a friend, what are you thinking about, Master?"
"Are you," Gu Ling's voice paused, "are you hungry?"
