The Qian State, which was sandwiched between the Liang State and the Yan State, had the strongest national strength, but it would be difficult for them to cope with the concerted attacks of the two countries.
Fortunately, in the past, the Liang Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom formed alliances again and again, but they were far from being of the same mind. Most of the time, after the Yan Kingdom incited the Liang Kingdom to send troops, they chose to sit on the sidelines, hoping that both sides would suffer and reap the benefits.
Last year, the Liang Kingdom, which was badly cheated by the Yan Kingdom, chose to show its goodwill to the Qian Kingdom after another failure, and the royal families of the two countries got married.
Yanguo will definitely not sit idly by and ignore this. This is what Duanmuyi has thought of a long time ago. However, given that the royal family of Yanguo has always been a villain who likes to play dirty tricks, choosing to directly send troops to Qianguo is still beyond Duanmuyi's expectations. .
The Qian Kingdom is not unprepared, but it cannot transfer troops from the northern border to the south just because it has formed an alliance with the Liang Kingdom. If the Yan Kingdom attacks with all its strength, it will be very difficult.
Even at this moment, we cannot rush to mobilize troops from the north. Even if the marriage period is approaching, we still need to be wary of the Liang Kingdom at all times.
Therefore, when Duanmu Yi saw Su Liang appear in a wedding dress, he was not even in the mood to ask her if she had paid homage to Gu Ling. He said bluntly, "You go south first, and Nian Jincheng will lead his troops to support him later. No matter what, , we must guard the south!"
Duanmu Chen looked worried, "Father, let Gu Ling escort Su Liang. They go together, it's safer."
Duanmu Yi nodded and waited for Su Liang to express his position.
Su Liang looked respectful, "I wonder if I am going to serve as an imperial doctor, a military doctor or a general?"
"Your position as general will be restored immediately and you will be promoted to the second rank. Do everything you can and don't betray my trust in you!" Duanmu Yi said coldly.
The second-grade military generals are on the same level as Xing Ji and have the highest position in the south. There are no first-grade generals in the Qianguo army who can command the entire army.
"Yes, Wei Chen accepts the order." Su Liang said respectfully. When she received the news, she knew that this would be the result. But even if she did not resume her duties as a general, she would definitely go south, because her friend Lin Xi was killed. Chen Yun was captured and seriously injured. She wanted to save others.
When Su Liang left the palace, Duanmu Yi summoned Nian Jincheng and Lin Bojun, two young generals whom he valued very much.
However, Qin Yujin did not have to worry about Lin Bojun going to the battlefield, because Duanmu Yi had already decided to let Nian Jincheng lead troops south to support, while Lin Bojun stayed in the capital.
…
When Su Liang walked out of the palace gate, she saw a red shadow. It was Gu Ling waiting for her, holding a big red silk flower in his hand, as if he had come to pick her up for worship.
But at this moment, Su Liang had already forgotten about the marriage. As he walked, he said, "The emperor has agreed. Let's go together. Nian Jincheng will then lead his troops to support us."
"Okay." Gu Ling nodded. In fact, while waiting for Su Liang to come out, he had been thinking that it would not waste much time if he discussed with Su Liang and paid a visit before taking off the wedding robe. It'll be fine soon.
But when he saw Su Liang, her expression was solemn and her steps were hurried. Gu Ling knew why and couldn't express what was in her heart. If he mentioned it, Su Liang might be unhappy and felt that he couldn't distinguish the importance.
Gu Ling knew that it was important to go to the south and the time was urgent. He was also very concerned about Lin Wei's safety. But his long-term expectations were shattered when they were about to come true. Reason told him that it was nothing. He would get married after the trouble was solved, but there was always a feeling that if he didn't get married today, He will regret it if he decides to get married...
Su Liang got on the horse and saw Gu Ling still standing beside him, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "It's okay." After saying that, he got back on his horse, still holding the red silk flower in his hand.
The two rode forward without saying another word.
On the way, Su Liang asked Gu Ling if he would go back to Changxinhou Mansion, but he said no.
He had moved most of the things he needed to Yuanming Pavilion a few days ago. Originally, he was supposed to be worshiping Su Liang at the moment, and then stayed in the Su Mansion.
The disappointment in her heart surged like a wave, receding and then returning. Gu Ling began to struggle again, should she drag Su Liang to worship her...
…
The Su Mansion was decorated with joy, and all the guests were still there.
When Su Liang received the emperor's order and left in her wedding dress, everyone already knew what had happened. Everyone thought that after she entered the palace to meet the saint, she should go south to save people, and perhaps lead troops to fight.
Qi Jun and Liandong didn't know how to deal with this situation, so they asked Mr. Qin and Lin Shuzhi to make up their minds.
Lin Shuzhi asked Mr. Qin if he wanted to let the guests disperse first.
But Mr. Qin said wait a minute, "What's the rush? We're all here for a wedding banquet, and there's nothing urgent. At least wait until Liang Yatou comes back to see what's going on."
Mrs. Xing asked Xing Yusheng to call Mr. Qin and Lin Shuzhi to come over and talk.
The three families are all related by marriage, and now they have close contacts and a harmonious relationship, and Su Liang plays an important role in it.
"Well, Liang Yatou is very capable, so we have to rely on her for such a big thing, but today happens to be the day." Old Mrs.
It's easy. In my opinion, even if there are urgent matters, let them come to worship. Everything is ready and there won't be any delay."
Mr. Qin nodded repeatedly, "That's what I mean too! Only after we pay homage to each other can it be settled properly. Even if something happens later, it will be easier for them to take care of each other."
Lin Shuzhi frowned, "I understand the mood of both of you, and I also hope that their marriage can be settled today. But when Xiaoliang comes back, he must have the emperor's order, and he must pack his luggage and leave immediately. The emperor may have other plans for Gu Ling, but not necessarily
Let him go with you. If you go to Changxinhou Mansion and ask him to come to worship, it will really waste time." After all, it involves rushing to save people, and what he is talking about is a very practical issue.
Mr. Qin frowned, "If Liang Yatou goes to the south, why won't that kid follow her?"
Old Mrs.
!”
Mr. Qin and Lin Shuzhi both agreed.
Mrs. Xing called Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing aside again and gave some instructions. Xing Yusheng told Qi Jun and Lonicera to be ready.
Lao Bai returned to his yard after Su Liang left the house and did not show up again.
…
Su Liang and Gu Ling entered the door and hurried inside.
"All the guests must have left." Su Liang said, "We will set off after changing clothes. Do we want to take Qi Jun and Ling Dong with us?"
Gu Ling shook his head and said, "No." The two of them can take care of each other and don't need anyone else. With a third person around, talking won't be that convenient.
Su Liang nodded, "That's fine. They can't help much if they go, so let them stay and take care of Lao Bai."
As he spoke, the front hall came into view.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment. Over there was Xitang. Many people were looking at them, but they didn't even leave?
Gu Ling's eyes suddenly became bright, maybe...
The next moment, Su Liang was about to go over to say hello to the guests and let them do as they pleased, when he saw Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing running over.
"What are you..." Before Su Liang could ask, her eyes turned red. Lin Xueqing covered her head with a hijab and pulled her forward, "Just in time, we didn't miss the right time! Sister Su, don't say anything.
Don't object, it will waste time!"
Su Liang: ...This is a situation she didn't expect. Why is it that if she doesn't marry her immediately, she's afraid that she won't be able to get married after today?
Xing Yusheng dragged Gu Ling and walked quickly, "Time is urgent, hurry up and worship. If you dare to refuse, I will curse you to die alone in your life!"
Gu Ling:...Refuse? That’s impossible!
Su Liang and Gu Ling were pulled into the wedding hall, and the faces of the guests all put smiles on their faces again. No matter how violent the storm was outside, the atmosphere was here. God's will allowed them to become husband and wife today, and no one could stop them.
live.
Originally, Lin Shuzhi was appointed as the ceremony officer, but Mr. Qin took the job away from him because he relied on his elders to sell his elders.
As soon as he saw the newcomers taking their seats, Mr. Qin cleared his throat and said, "The auspicious time has come!"
Su Liang could only see a small area in front of her that was covered in red. When Lin Xueqing turned around to worship, she saw a pair of brocade cloud-patterned boots and the hem of Gu Ling's wedding robe, which was embroidered with a delicate circle of gold thread.
pattern.
Su Liang requested that the wedding dress should be as simple as possible, without any gold or silver threads. So, Yan Yu arranged all the festive and auspicious patterns designed by the embroiderer on Gu Ling's wedding robe. She only noticed it now.
Very beautiful... Su Liang thought to herself. It's a pity that Gu Ling rarely wears such gorgeous clothes. She had the opportunity to appreciate and praise her, otherwise she would be disrespecting Gu Ling's beauty.
"It's done!" Mr. Qin said angrily, "Guests are seated! Let the bride and groom go about their business. You can take care of your own business when entering the bridal chamber!"
Qi Jun lit the firecrackers, and pieces of red paper exploded and danced like fireworks. Su Liang smelled a faint smell of gunpowder.
She could actually lift the hijab, but she didn't realize it at the moment.
So, Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing each grabbed Gu Ling and Su Liang's hands and asked them to hold them together.
"Okay! Brother-in-law Gu, please take Sister Su away quickly! Go wherever you need to go!" Lin Xueqing gave Su Liang a gentle push.
"Okay, thank you."
Su Liang heard Gu Ling's voice, which was much gentler than usual. Perhaps it was her imagination. Why did she say "thank you"? Yes, friends had put a lot of thought into their marriage, and that was right.
Before Su Liang could think of taking off her hijab, she heard Zheng'er's voice, "Auntie, Uncle Gu is so beautiful!"
Someone was laughing, and then Zhenger said with a smile, "That's right, that's right, it's uncle!"
Everyone laughed.
When the laughter gradually dissipated behind her like the wind, Su Liang finally realized what she was doing with her head covered?
Just as Su Liang raised his hand to take off the hijab, he felt suddenly enlightened. The red cloth had fallen into Gu Ling's hands.
In fact, Gu Ling had been staring at Su Liang's hand until he saw her move it, and then he took the first step to lift the hijab. He had already seen Su Liang without a hijab, and he wanted to see her with the red hijab for a while longer.
The way he walked forward holding her hand was inexplicably cute and cute.
"I was really dumbfounded by what they did." Su Liang said before letting go of Gu Ling's hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief without stopping, "That's good, it didn't waste any time.
.”
She was going to say hello to the guests, but this was a different kind of greeting.
"Yes." Gu Ling nodded. If Su Liang turned around at this moment, she could see the smile that couldn't be concealed in his eyes. Good, good, very good. Thank you to the person who insisted on letting them get married today.
While talking, the two of them had already reached Yuanming Pavilion. When they went upstairs, Su Liang was in front and Gu Ling was behind. He was still holding the red silk flower in one hand and Su Liang's red hijab in the other. He looked at Su Liang's long hair.
The hem of the skirt ripples like water, dancing in front of my eyes.
"A quarter of an hour." Su Liang walked into his room.
"Okay." Gu Ling entered his room next door. He put down the silk flowers and hijab, took off his wedding robe, and allowed himself to calm down from the joy of getting married. It was time to accompany Su Liang to do business.
Exactly a quarter of an hour later, the two opened the door at the same time. They had already changed into light travel clothes, each holding a baggage. Gu Ling stretched out his hand, and Su Liang handed over her medicine box. Everything seemed to be in a natural and tacit understanding.
Practiced it countless times.
When he went downstairs and walked out of Yuanming Pavilion, he saw Liandong waiting outside, "Master, are you going with me?"
Uncle? Gu Ling likes this title.
Su Liang nodded, and Rendong asked quickly, "Are my subordinates and Qi Jun going too?"
Su Liang shook his head, "You guys are at home and take good care of Lao Bai."
Lonicera was not surprised. There was someone accompanying Su Liang, and it was her favorite Gu Meiren. They were newly married, and they definitely didn't want her and Qi Jun to get in the way.
"The horses are ready," Liandong said. While worshiping, she and Qi Jun went to feed Gu Ling and Su Liang's horses. Qi Jun was preparing dry food for the two of them for the trip.
Su Liang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Rendong saw Gu Ling carrying Su Liang's medicine box and walking quietly beside him, which was particularly pleasing to her eyes. She thought that Gu Meiren must like her master very much.
When passing by the front hall again, Su Liang and Gu Ling did not stop. Mr. Qin wanted to tell them a few words, but he felt that both of them were very smart, so he did not need to say anything.
Qi Jun was waiting at the gate, with dry food and water already placed on the horse.
"Master, take care!" Qi Jun watched Su Liang mount his horse, and together with Lonicera, watched them go out.
"My aunt, take good care of your master!" Qi Jun shouted to Gu Ling.
Gu Ling said "hmm" and felt that Qi Jun and Liao Dong must not have heard, so he turned back to look at them and said, "I will do it."
It wasn't until Su Liang and Gu Ling disappeared from sight that Qi Jun and Liao Dong turned around and went home at the same time.
"Master will no longer need us." Lonicera sighed.
Qi Jun chuckled, "How wonderful it is that Master can be with the person he likes! We are not important."
Lonicera agreed, but sighed again, "I don't know what the situation is like in the south. Those who are capable work hard, and they are not so oppressive. Whenever there is trouble, let the master go."
Qi Jun looked helpless, "There is no way. There are imperial doctors and generals in the Qian Kingdom, and only the master can fulfill both positions, and no one can replace him. After all, he is here to save people. Even if the emperor doesn't give the order, the master will definitely rush there.
It was her friend who had the accident."
Liao Dong knew it, but felt sorry for Mr. Su Liang that he could not live a peaceful life, and even his marriage was almost ruined. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Xing could sincerely take care of Su Liang because they had both received great kindness from Su Liang.
…
When Duanmu Yi saw Nian Jincheng, he asked Su Liang and Gu Ling whether they had paid homage to the church, and Nian Jincheng said no.
After Nian Jincheng took the order and left to mobilize troops, not long after, Duanmu Yi received another report: Su Liang and Gu Ling returned home and paid homage before setting off.
Duanmu Chen was also there at that time, thinking that Duanmu Yi might get angry, but he thought that this kind of thing was actually not a big deal. How long would it take to pay a visit? In other words, it only took a few words to say something to someone. Su Liang was definitely not ignorant of the importance.
people.
As a result, Duanmu Yi snorted coldly, "Perhaps we have been married for a long time, and we were afraid that it would be difficult to handle Su Liang's pregnancy."
Duanmu Chen: ...He thinks too much, and it's hard to say whether Duanmu Yi's guess is that he thinks too much...
…
The hazy weather in the morning suddenly cleared up after Su Liang and Gu Ling left the capital for more than ten miles.
The two of them drove for a long time without eating lunch. When they passed a river, they stopped to rest.
The sky is clear blue, the breeze is blowing on my face, and the willow trees near the river have sprouted and are green.
"Master, you really know how to choose the day." Su Liang handed the snack to Gu Ling. Thinking of what happened today, it felt amazing.
Gu Ling picked up a piece of snack and took a bite. It was extremely sweet and said, "You are now Mrs. Changxinhou."
Su Liang raised her head and squinted at the sky. The sunlight made the side of her face shine brightly, "No, you are the uncle of the Su family."
Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Miss Su, please take good care of me in the future."
Su Liang chuckled, "It's easy to say. But I have to remind you that your only brother Xiaonian is also on my side now. With our current relationship, if you dare to treat me badly, many people will scold you."
Gu Ling asked Su Liang, "I don't know what to do. Can I learn from Nian Jincheng and Xing Yusheng?"
While eating snacks, Su Liang said with a smile, "You can learn one and let me see." Those two were crazy about loving wives. She was very curious about what Gu Ling observed.
The next moment, Gu Ling wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then grabbed her arm, shook it gently, and frowned, "Xiao Liang, am I the most important in your heart?"
Su Liang choked on the snack she had just eaten and started coughing. Gu Ling patted her back and unscrewed the water bag and handed it to her mouth.
Su Liang took a sip of water from Gu Ling's hand and shook his head to indicate that it was okay. When Gu Ling screwed on the water bag, his hand paused for a moment because he realized that what he was holding in a hurry was not Su Liang's water bag, but Su Liang's water bag.
his……
Su Liang didn't notice this, and Gu Ling silently put down the water bag, pretending that nothing happened.
The rest ended. Su Liang stood up and walked towards the horse, "Master, did you just learn Xing Yusheng? It's terrible."
Gu Ling followed with two water bags, "Nian Jincheng is like that too." And it was because of Su Liang that both men felt that they were not the most important in their wife's heart.
