No one in Yao City expected that Gu Ling and Su Liang would get married according to the decree, and they would be so glorious. However, after the wedding ceremony, not long after the wedding banquet started, the two broke up.
The reason spread quickly: Su Liang had always been in unrequited love, and Gu Ling agreed to marry him this time just to take the opportunity to ask Emperor Liang for a thousand-year-old snow lotus. He did not really want to marry her at all, and even his snow lotus was meant to be given to him.
woman!
Everyone who heard this was shocked, and they all deeply sympathized with Su Liang's experience. At the same time, they despised Gu Ling's selfish and indifferent behavior, and they all appreciated Su Liang's decisiveness in separating from Gu Ling after learning the truth.
For a time, Yao City was abuzz with everyone talking about this matter.
The wedding banquet in Prince Ning's Mansion has ended long ago, but the bright red words "happy" on the door made everyone sigh.
Su Liang went into the palace, and Liandong arranged for the two guards who came with Nian Jincheng to have a meal and rest.
Nian Jincheng also went to bed. Anyway, he met Gu Ling and Su Liang, and he could not control the development of things next, so he could just let them go.
Situ Xie, who had not yet left, saw that Gu Ling had taken off his wedding robe and was packing his luggage. He sighed deeply and said, "You have agreed on a fake marriage a long time ago, right?"
Gu Ling said calmly, "No." In fact, he was a little regretful that this marriage ended too quickly, and he didn't even have the chance to take a good look at Su Liang in her wedding dress.
Situ Xie shook his head and said, "That's all. As long as you know what you are doing, I think Su Liang is as smart as he is and can pass the emperor's test. When she leaves the palace, you should go back to Qian Kingdom as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
After saying this, Situ Xie was about to leave, but turned back when he reached the door, "Did Emperor Qian send Su Liang here for the secret records of Mu's organization? If you go back empty-handed, how can you make a deal?"
Gu Ling asked back, "Then will you give me the secret record?"
Situ Xie's face froze, "The secret record is with the emperor. Not to mention that I don't have it, even if it is in my hands, since you are interested in the Qian Kingdom, if I give it to you, it will be a great disadvantage to the Liang Kingdom. Ling'er, I hope you remember
, Emperor Qian only uses you and is suspicious of you, and will never truly trust you, but no matter when, Liang Kingdom will accept you."
Gu Ling stopped talking, and Situ Xie sighed repeatedly, "Take care of me from now on. If you can be of use to grandpa, just let me know." After saying that, he left.
Gu Ling stared at Situ Xie's back, and for a moment she was a little confused as to what he was planning.
…
Liang Kingdom Palace.
After listening to Su Liang's explanation of why she wanted to break off her engagement with Gu Ling, Situ Han couldn't blame her. Because it took Gu Ling a thousand years of snow lotus to agree to get married, and he knew about it but did not tell Su Liang.
Su Liang is not an ordinary woman. She became famous all over the world because she won the first prize in martial arts in one fell swoop, and later won the respect of Emperor Qian. With her temperament, it was normal for her to react like this when she learned that she had been deceived.
Situ Han persuaded Su Liang, "Ling'er will naturally fall in love with you after we have been together for a long time."
Su Liang's eyes dimmed, "Does Your Majesty think I chose to give up?"
Situ Han frowned and saw Su Liang smile bitterly, "He told the truth today, but he just doesn't want to continue with me. After all, he has obtained Xuelian and fulfilled his promise to His Majesty to worship me, but he really wants to do it with me."
Husband and wife, he is determined not to agree. In this case, no matter how hard I try, I will lose my self-respect."
Now that things have happened, Su Liang has become the victim of being deceived into a marriage, and Situ Han is Gu Ling's accomplice. It's hard to say anything more.
But at this moment, Situ Han suspected that Su Liang made this decision because Nian Jincheng brought Duanmu Yi's intention.
"I heard that General Nian was ordered to deliver Emperor Qian's edict to you, but what happened?" Situ Han asked.
Su Liang nodded, "The Emperor is feeling unwell and ordered me to return home quickly. His Majesty Emperor Liang's health is already fully recovered. I should have gone back long ago."
Situ Han knew that he had only achieved half of his goal of getting Su Liang and Gu Ling married, but it could only go so far. And he guessed that the real purpose of Duanmu Yi's Nian Jincheng coming was to collect the secret records of the agency, so he asked Su When will Liang set off?
"Today." Su Liang sighed, "We can't delay any longer."
Situ Han was surprised. Are you leaving today? Doesn't Su Liang intend to steal the secret records of the agency? Or should he pretend to leave first and then return secretly?
What followed was a series of polite words to persuade him to stay and decline. After Situ Han watched Su Liang leave, he sent someone to invite Situ Xie into the palace.
…
When Su Liang returned to Prince Ning's Mansion, Ling Dong saw her face was calm and thought she was feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to show it, so she opened her mouth to hide her anger, "Marquis Chang Xin is really too much! The master is so kind to him, but he deliberately deceives!"
Su Liang took Liandong into the room and said while packing her luggage, "Don't get excited. He didn't lie to me."
Ren Dong was stunned, and Su Liang smiled, "I knew a long time ago that he agreed to the marriage for Xue Lian. I also conspired with him to delay the time to stay in Yao City to look for secret records. Now that the emperor has allowed him to go back, it's just right. No more acting."
Ling Dong was stunned, "Master, doesn't he really want to marry Gu Hou?"
Su Liang shrugged, "In the past, it depends on my mood in the future. As for now, I just want to go home quickly."
Lonicera:... Are emotions so free and easy? So cool! She knew that her master could not be trapped by love!
Seeing Lonicera's expression of admiration, Su Liang told her not to think about the things she had and didn't have, and to hurry up and prepare to set off.
…
Although they broke up on the day of their marriage and the marriage was annulled, Su Liang and Gu Ling, both ministers of the Qian Kingdom, left together in the eyes of the people of Yaocheng. Just like when they came, Su Liang rode a horse and Gu Ling rode a car.
As for the many gifts and rewards Su Liang received, she asked Situ Xie to help send people to the Qian Kingdom, and Situ Xie happily agreed.
Peng Wei took Peng Fan off to the city gate.
"Are you okay?" Peng Wei said and glared at the carriage Gu Ling was riding in. He was obviously a person who thought Su Liang had been badly hurt.
Su Liang shook his head, "I'm fine, Mr. Peng, don't worry."
"You are so nice, but that brat has a problem with his eyes. Don't pay attention to him! There are many people who like you, Peng Fan, don't you think so?" Peng Wei said loudly on purpose.
Peng Fan was stunned for a moment when his name was suddenly called. He really admired Su Liang and was a little tempted, but his father put out the small flame in his heart at that time. When he came back, his grandfather said that he was not worthy of Su Liang and gave up as soon as possible. , but today, in order to comfort Su Liang, I asked him to express his position again...
However, Peng Fan still said seriously, "Yes, I am one of Miss Su's admirers."
Gu Ling in the carriage: ...Su Liang will definitely say thank you.
Su Liang suddenly smiled, "Oh, thank you Mr. Peng."
Peng Fan:...No surprise, you're welcome...
Nian Jincheng coughed lightly and said, "It's getting late."
Su Liang held up his hands and said, "Mr. Peng, please go back quickly! Everyone, see you soon!"
Not only the Peng family came, but also brothers and sisters Situ Jing and Situ Yao. Su Liang had already said goodbye.
Watching them leave, Situ Yao sighed slightly, "Why did this happy day end like this?"
Situ Jing shook his head, "Little sister, don't think too much, I think they don't care much."
…
After leaving Yao City, Su Liang knew that Situ Han or Situ Xie would definitely send someone to monitor their whereabouts, and suspected that they would go back and steal the secret records.
Su Liang doesn't care about this. Just keep an eye on her. She won't go back to Yao City to steal secret records. It's completely unnecessary.
It was night, and they rested in another city closest to Yao City.
When the two guards Duanmu Yi arranged for Nian Jincheng saw that Su Liang and Gu Ling could eat at the same table, they were as calm as if nothing had happened. It was strange, but they were only responsible for telling what they saw and heard when they returned.
Report to Duanmu Yi, no need to think too much.
When we set off again the next day, Gu Ling also rode a horse.
There was no carriage in the team, so the speed was much faster. In fact, Gu Ling and Su Liang didn't need to rush back day and night, all because they wanted Nian Jincheng to reunite with his newlywed wife as soon as possible. In addition, they had spies watching, so they didn't speak and act like that.
Feeling comfortable, he decided to hurry up and go home before talking.
Every break was decided by Gu Ling. He had the highest status and the biggest temper, so everyone listened to him.
Nian Jincheng knew very well that whether or not to rest and how long it took to rest depended on whether Su Liang was hungry or cold, sleepy or sleepy. Gu Ling did everything just to make Su Liang less tired.
In this way, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they left the territory of Liang Kingdom and returned to Xuanbei City of Qian Kingdom.
…
It was already afternoon when they arrived at Xuanbei City, and Su Liang and Gu Ling planned to stay here for one night.
"Lin Ji went home?" Su Liang asked Xing Ji.
Xing Ji smiled and nodded, "After he went to Liang Kingdom, the Lin family of Kasyapa City sent someone to deliver a letter, telling him to go home for the New Year. He came back injured and insisted on leaving after reading the letter, and I didn't stop him."
"The two successors that my adoptive father wanted to cultivate have all gone south. What should we do?" Su Liang chuckled.
Xing Ji sighed, "Yes. But if you can help me, I won't care about any of those brats."
Su Liang nodded, "I am willing, but the Emperor thinks that I am more suitable to be an imperial doctor for the time being." Although she resigned from the position of general on her own initiative, being a general in the capital originally did not make much sense.
"What about yourself?" Xing Ji smiled and asked, "What do you like to do?"
Su Liang thought about it seriously, "Comparatively speaking, I prefer to practice medicine and save people instead of going into battle to kill enemies. It's not that thrilling and is suitable for a weak woman like me."
Xing Ji laughed loudly, "If you were a weak woman, wouldn't Yu Sheng be ashamed to death?"
Su Liang had long been used to Xing Ji's tendency to complain about her son when praising her, and once again said that she would convey the exact words to Xing Yusheng.
Xing Ji felt in a good mood when he saw Su Liang. After greetings, he got down to business.
What Su Liang told Xing Ji was that she planned to return to Beijing to meet Duanmu Yi. She and Gu Ling agreed to Emperor Liang's marriage leave for the secret record.
"If this is the case, the emperor will not blame him." Xing Ji was relieved to learn that Gu Ling did not deliberately deceive Su Liang. He was also worried that Su Liang would like Gu Ling too much but would not get a response and be hurt.
"As for the secret record, after Situ Xie obtained it first, he sold it specifically to attract the head of the Mu family. He wanted to set up a trap for me to buy it, but Emperor Liang got it." Su Liang said.
Xing Ji's expression became serious, "I see. But even if, as you said, there is only half a copy that is incomplete and cannot be used, the Emperor will definitely hope to get it."
Su Liang had already planned this, "I will explain it to the Emperor."
Xing Ji nodded, "That's the case, I'm relieved." He didn't ask how she planned to explain to Duanmu Yi.
When Su Liang was about to leave, Xing Ji asked her about her real relationship with Gu Ling.
"Not bad, but we are just friends for now." Su Liang said.
"Do you think we can go further?" Xing Ji asked with a smile.
Su Liang clasped his hands together, "Fate is destined, you have to ask Yue Lao."
Xing Ji:……
…
When setting off early the next morning, Qi Jun also joined the team returning to Beijing. Su Liang felt that it would be good for him to stay in the army and develop, but Qi Jiang did not want his son to become a military general. Although Qi Jun had this intention, he now
Stage prefers to follow Su Liang.
"It would be great if I followed the master to the Liang Kingdom." Qi Jun felt a little regretful.
Su Liang called Liandong, "Tell Qi Jun how cold it is in Liang Country."
Lonicera thought for a while and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold."
Qi Jun was a little confused, so he heard Liandong say, "Because my name is Liandong."
Qi Jun chuckled, "Landong, you went to Liang Kingdom and became humorous."
Lonicera:...This cold joke was said by Su Liang...
Then Su Liang silently rode forward to chase Gu Ling, "I'm afraid of the cold. Let's talk."
Qi Jun asked about some people he knew, such as King Situ Xie of Yue, Princess Yaoguang, Emperor Liang, etc. Liandong only talked about the feelings those people gave her, and the evaluation was summed up in two words: "hypocrisy."
When passing by Feiyan Town in Bei'an County again, Su Liang proposed to go back to her hometown to visit and gave her half a day.
Gu Ling didn't express his opinion, but just agreed that it was okay. After finding the inn, he went into the room and said not to disturb him.
Nian Jincheng knew that Gu Ling would definitely return to Sujiacun secretly, so he invited the two guards to drink.
Su Liang rode back to Sujia Village with Ling Dong and Qi Jun. The mountains in the village were still covered with white snow that had not yet melted. Someone recognized Su Liang and shouted excitedly, "Miss Su is back!"
Soon, Su Liang saw many familiar faces. She greeted them and returned to her home in the village.
Xiaohu and Zhuzi were both in the school. Aunt Bai ran over and was overjoyed to see that it was Su Liang, "Liang girl, why are you back now? Are you still leaving?"
Su Liang didn't need to ask, she had already confirmed that everything was fine in the village. She explained to Aunt Bai that she was passing by after going to Liang State on business and would be leaving soon.
"Xiaohu and Zhuzi always talk about you." Aunt Bai took Su Liang's hand and asked her to come home for dinner.
"I'll come back to find a book and go there later." Su Liang said with a smile.
Aunt Bai nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll cook for you right away!" After saying that, she hurried away.
Su Liang told Rendong and Qi Jun to go to the school to see the situation and report back to her. The two left together.
When Su Liang opened the door to the room where Gu Ling lived, he was already standing inside.
"Master, how does it feel to go home?" Su Liang chuckled.
Gu Ling turned around and nodded gently, "Very good."
"This is a pretty high praise for you. Your words are okay." Su Liang sat down at the table, "Unfortunately, there are no pumpkins and eggplants in the backyard this season. I will go to Aunt Bai's house for dinner later.
You can’t go either.”
Because the Bai family knew "Ning Jing", not Gu Ling.
Gu Ling thought to himself that the next time he could eat at Bai's house, he would probably be married to Su Liang.
…
In the meantime, Su Bai came by and chatted with Su Liang for a while. He talked about the situation of the school and some things in the village, and asked about Su Liang's current situation.
In a remote village, news is not that well-informed. The news that Su Liang and Gu Ling got married and separated in Liang Country has not yet spread here.
Su Liang only said that everything was fine with her.
After Su Bai left, Su Liang went to see Su Dakuan. He couldn't help but mention "tranquility", and Su Liang comforted him a few words.
Aunt Bai cooked the richest meal in the farmhouse for Su Liang and Qi Jun Lingdong. Xiaohu and Zhuzhu also ran back from school to see Su Liang. They had grown taller than the last time they met.
Su Liang couldn't stay longer and left after eating.
Aunt Bai steamed a basket of steamed buns for her to take with her on the road, and Uncle Bai roasted a bunch of small sweet potatoes.
When Su Liang returned to Feiyan Town, Nian Jincheng knocked on Gu Ling's door and told him to come out and it was time to leave.
Of those steamed buns and roasted sweet potatoes, Su Liang only gave one to each of the others, saying that the rest were hers, but in fact they were all secretly given to Gu Ling.
…
The capital of Qian Kingdom.
The story that Gu Ling and Su Liang accepted the title of canonization and marriage from Emperor Liang, but broke up on the day of their wedding has been widely spread.
Su Liang's friends have scolded Gu Ling countless times.
Every time Mr. Qin saw Lin Shuzhi, he would sigh that that boy from the Gu family was so beautiful, but his eyes were so bad, and his heart was so bad! He was willing to bully even a good girl like Su Liang! It was unbearable. !
Lin Shuzhi, who knew that everything was a conspiracy between Su Liang and Gu Ling, could only cooperate with Mr. Qin to complain about Gu Ling and feel sorry for Su Liang.
Finally, one day in the late first month of the first lunar month, Su Liang and Gu Ling returned to the capital.
Not long after entering the city, Su Liang saw a familiar old man with a hunchback falling on the roadside. She recognized it as Old Man Mu and quickly got off her horse to help him.
"Thank you... thank you, Doctor Su..." Old Man Mu's tone was weak, but his eyes were shining. He stuffed something into Su Liang's sleeve and whispered, "I'll give it to you."
"Master is so kind." Su Liang whispered, leaning over to help old Mu up, "Go home quickly."
When Su Liang headed towards the palace, the hunchbacked old man in the crowd disappeared.
Su Mansion.
There are a bunch of wine jars strewn here and there by the lake, with a person lying in the middle. If you don't get closer and take a closer look, you would think it is a pile of rags.
Old man Mu came over and kicked the "rag". He kicked it again, "Jiu Mengzi, get up quickly! I told that girl to find a good master for her. You are half dead." Where can I put my face?"
"Rag" rolled around and said vaguely, "Master and apprentice...I want...to drink..."
Old Man Mu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Drink, drink, drink! I'll drink you to death sooner or later! How will your apprentice treat you when he comes back?"
"Apprentice...apprentice...what apprentice...apprentice..." "Ragbu" laughed stupidly, "I don't have an apprentice...no! No! Just no!"
Old Man Mu sat by the lake and sighed, "I worked so hard to carry you back, thinking that I could please my disciple and live with her in the future, but you ended up acting like this and didn't even say a single word. I didn't know who you were. If you don’t really understand the art of poison, I’m afraid we both will be kicked out. Then we can only live in the house of another apprentice of mine. That boy, if you drink him to death, he will make you angry and come back to life!"
