When Su Liang started climbing, he let go of Gu Ling's arm.
In her previous life, she had always seen lovers holding hands. She tried it and it felt good. This level of intimacy did not make her uncomfortable.
Walking side by side, the mountain road was narrow. When the backs of their hands accidentally touched for the first time, Gu Ling's heart moved.
Then, the two people's hands touched frequently. It seemed "accidental", but it was actually Gu Ling's intention.
Su Liang had already noticed that Gu Ling's eyes were constantly looking down. She knew it in her heart and didn't point it out. She wanted to see what he planned to do.
Soon after, Su Liang realized that the tacit understanding between the two occasionally failed when it came to falling in love.
She thought that Gu Ling would "accidentally" hold her hand, or even wait for her subconsciously, but in fact it was not...
Passing a steep mountain road, the backs of their hands touched for the nth time, and the arms were naturally touching. They were very light before. This time, Su Liang felt the sudden impact from Gu Ling, staggered, and almost fell.
Then, Gu Ling reached out and hooked Su Liang's slender waist, brought her into his arms, looked at her seriously and said, "Be careful."
"Master, your play is full of loopholes." Su Liang pushed Gu Ling, but couldn't push him away. He felt that his chest muscles were very strong, which I didn't notice at ordinary times.
Gu Ling nodded and admitted, "Well, I want to hug you."
Su Liang blurted out, "You can just say it."
"Then can I kiss you?" Gu Ling asked seriously. He has already hugged you, so needless to say, he skipped holding hands and the next step of hugging should be kissing.
Su Liang's eyes were cold, "If I agree, do you want to have a wedding tonight?" A man who pushes beyond the limits...
"If you are willing, of course." Gu Ling did not want to hide his desire for Su Liang. With Wen Xiang Nephrite in his arms, he was already distracted.
"Oh, I refuse." Su Liang pushed Gu Ling again, "Have you had enough hugs?"
"No." Gu Ling said, letting go of Su Liang and holding her hand.
Su Liang shook her hand, but Gu Ling didn't let go and said confidently, "You held my arm first without my consent."
Su Liang shook it again, "I want to change my hand."
When Gu Ling heard this, he let go of his hand, but Su Liang ran forward wildly.
Then, Gu Ling calculated the right timing, and after a few very fast leaps, he landed in front of Su Liang, turned around, opened his arms, and felt a hug.
Su Liang, who had no time to dodge, was caught by Gu Ling again. She blinked, and took the initiative to wrap her arms around Gu Ling's waist. She pressed her whole body against him, clearly feeling that his body was stiff.
Su Liang's hand caressed Gu Ling's lower back and said softly, "Master, have you hugged me enough?"
How could Gu Ling withstand Su Liang's teasing? She let go silently, stepped back, and distanced herself, "Let's go quickly, we won't be able to catch up with the sunset."
"Master, are you..." Su Liang felt that Gu Ling might have had a physiological reaction.
Gu Ling's ears turned red, "No matter what you are thinking, stop."
"Oh." Su Liang chuckled, "My bad."
After saying this, she took the initiative to hold Gu Ling's hand, looked forward, and continued walking.
Gu Ling held Su Liang's hand instead, with a smile in her eyes, "You like me." He said in a positive tone.
Su Liang nodded and admitted readily, "Yes!"
"Can you tell me again?" Gu Ling asked. This was the first time Su Liang confessed to him. He had said it before, but the nature was different.
"Oh, you like me." Su Liang looked serious.
Gu Ling:...It must be intentional.
The sun sets in the west, and the magnificent sunset lights up half of the sky.
The setting sun disappeared into the sky, the sky seemed to dim all of a sudden, and the evening wind began to pick up.
The two of them sat on a big rock, overlooking the city of Kasyapa in the dusk below. Looking further into the distance, the Liuxian River meandered like a coiled dragon and disappeared into the mist-shrouded mountains.
"Master, we should go back." Su Liang stood up.
Gu Ling walked up to Su Liang, bowed slightly and said, "Come up."
Su Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, "The mountain road is not easy to walk, are you sure you want to carry me?"
Seeing Gu Ling nod, Su Liang stepped forward, lay on Gu Ling's back, hooked his neck, and wrapped his legs around his waist, "Let's go. I'm really a little tired."
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy." Gu Ling tilted his head and could see the side of Su Liang's face leaning on his shoulder, her long eyelashes quivering like butterfly wings.
Su Liang closed her eyes, "I may not be able to fall asleep, I'll try."
Gu Ling walked down. The mountain road was full of steep and rugged places, but every step he took was steady. The Su Liang on his back was not heavy, but to him, it meant the world.
The sky was getting dark, but Gu Ling was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he walked more and more slowly, fearing that his unsteady steps would bump Su Liang.
Su Liang moved a little in the middle, and Gu Ling immediately stopped, thinking that she was about to wake up, but she just changed her head, murmured, and fell asleep again.
Right next to his ear, Gu Ling heard clearly, Su Liang said, "Falling in love with a great god..." and then laughed.
She really likes me... This realization made Gu Ling feel elated and felt that the gray sky around her was so beautiful.
He tilted his head slightly and planted a kiss on Su Liang's smooth forehead like a dragonfly. He immediately separated and raised the corners of his lips.
On the way down the mountain, Gu Ling once again thought about the dream-like events of the past two days and had to sigh. In fact, Su Liang had always tolerated and trusted him.
And his mood these past two days was like what Su Liang described as "a roller coaster ride." No matter what the process was, he felt very happy and happy at the moment.
By the time Gu Ling carried Su Liang down the mountain, the moon had already risen.
He did not wake up Su Liang, but carried her back to Lin's house.
According to rumors, it was Su Liang who pursued Gu Ling unilaterally. On this day, many people in Kasyapa City met Gu Meiren who was carrying his wife on his back, and they all lamented that he was such a good husband.
…
Returning to Lin's house, when I entered the house, I heard from my servants that a guest had arrived, saying he was looking for Gu Ling.
"Who is it?" Su Liang finally woke up and patted Gu Ling on the shoulder, "Let me down."
After landing, she looked up, glanced at the plaque of the Lin family, and then looked at the sky. She didn't expect to fall asleep and sleep soundly.
"I don't know who that person is, but he was invited in by the eldest son." The guard answered Su Liang's question.
Su Liang nodded, "Let's go and take a look. Is it possible that Sister Yuan is here? Probably not. If Sister Yuan comes, she will definitely say that she is looking for me."
When the two of them arrived outside the flower hall where Lin Mansion was entertaining guests, they heard chatter and laughter coming from inside. There was a voice that was unfamiliar to Su Liang.
"It's my master." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang was a little surprised.
Gu Ling's powerful martial arts naturally had a master, especially his Luoying swordsmanship, which shocked even the late Yan Yun Tower owner Yan Sui.
Su Liang heard Gu Ling say that his master was his mother Situ Ning's adopted brother, named Nangong Lin. However, he was not Situ Xie's adopted son, but a friend of Situ Ning himself.
Gu Ling didn't know much about Nangong Lin. He took the initiative to find Gu Ling to teach martial arts. He was elusive and elusive. He had not been seen for four years.
"Gu Xiaoling, look who's here?" Lin Wei looked at Gu Ling and Su Liang who appeared at the door with a smile on his face.
Su Liang's eyes fell on the only unfamiliar face, a middle-aged man who looked like a martial arts practitioner. His figure and skin were well maintained, and he had a good appearance. There was a scar on the left side of his face that was not very obvious.
Meeting Su Liang's gaze, Nangong Lin smiled brightly and stood up, "This must be Ling'er's wife."
"Master." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang smiled and called "Master".
"There are no outsiders, please sit down quickly." Lin Wei greeted everyone, "Eat first, then you can go catch up with old times. I originally wanted to ask Chen Beibei to come, but they are having a family reunion today, so I don't want to disturb them."
Lin Wei's sister Lin Shan was also there, with a white cloth wrapped around her head, eating quietly.
"Uncle Nangong also accepts me as his disciple, right? I'm older than Gu Xiaoling, so I will be his senior brother!" Lin Wei suggested enthusiastically.
Nangong Lin smiled and said, "When you recover from your injury, we will have a discussion."
"Then it seems that Uncle Nangong will spend time with Gu Xiaoling next?" Lin Wei chuckled and winked at Gu Ling. He knew that Gu Ling only wanted to stay with Su Liang, so he could kick him, but he couldn't.
Even the master will be beaten, right?
Nangong Lin chuckled, "I just came to see Ling'er. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Su Liang had a gut feeling that there must be something wrong with Nangong Lin finding Gu Ling after four years.
After the meal, Nangong Lin followed Su Liang and Gu Ling back to their courtyard.
Gu Ling signaled Su Liang to go back to his room first, and he and Nangong Lin sat in the courtyard talking.
…
The moonlight is like water.
Nangong Lin glanced at the lighted room, then looked at Gu Ling, with a pleased look on his face, "Seeing that you are living so well now, I feel relieved as a teacher."
"Master, why are you looking for me?" Gu Ling's attitude seemed a bit cold.
"Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?" Nangong Lin sighed softly, "You kid, you have been cold and cold since you were a child. As a teacher, I thought it would be better after you get married."
Gu Ling remained silent.
"That's all, it will be great if you can start a family." Nangong Lin laughed again, "To be honest, as a teacher in the past, I always thought that you would become a monk or live alone. This time I came to you, I really have something to ask for your help.
"
Gu Ling nodded, "Master, please speak."
"Actually, I'm not asking for your help, but your wife." Nangong Lin looked at the lighted room again, "She is a miracle doctor who appeared out of nowhere. Maybe she can cure my daughter's disease."
"I didn't know that Master had a daughter." Gu Ling looked calm.
Nangong Lin glared at Gu Ling, "Do you think everyone is like you and likes to live alone? Really! Even you have a beautiful wife now, why can't you have a child as a teacher? I didn't tell you, and neither did you.
I asked, what did I talk to you about before, but you looked like you were not interested!"
"Master, bring me here." Gu Ling ignored Nangong Lin's teasing.
In fact, his transformation was only in front of Su Liang. To others, he was still the taciturn, cold and beautiful man.
"If I could bring her, my teacher wouldn't come to you alone today." Nangong Lin shook his head, "She can't go out, let alone come so far away."
"Su Liang has the emperor's mandate and cannot go anywhere else easily," Gu Ling said.
Nangong Lin nodded, "I know. I heard about the name of the miracle doctor Qian Guosu last year. I didn't go to her at that time because I expected to be rejected. And Qian'er's condition improved at that time. Last month, Qian'er's condition suddenly worsened. , my teacher also heard that the rumored Divine Doctor Su became your wife, so I decided to come to you."
"Where does master live now?" Gu Ling asked.
"Near Xiangyue City in Yan State." Nangong Lin said.
"I understand. I'll discuss it with her. Master will wait here." Gu Ling said as he got up and went back to his room. He could still hear Nangong Lin sighing deeply from behind.
…
As soon as Gu Ling entered the door, he heard Su Liang ask, "Why did your master come to you?"
"Actually, I'm looking for you." Gu Ling told Su Liang the reason for Nangong Lin's visit.
"Ask me to treat his daughter?" Su Liang was surprised, "But I can't leave my post without permission, especially at this time to go to the Yan Kingdom. Where is Xiangyue City in the Yan Kingdom?"
"It's not far from Yanguo Imperial City," Gu Ling said.
Su Liang frowned, "This is not easy to do. Even if I want to go, I have to ask the emperor for permission first, so I have to wait. Besides, the emperor may not agree. Can your master be trusted?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "Actually, I don't know his true identity. He has expressed his admiration for my mother, and my mother trusts him very much. He taught me martial arts and is my mentor. If you ask me for help, I will Agree. But this is up to you, you decide."
"We are from the same family. Since it is your master's business, of course I am willing to help." Su Liang sighed, "It's just that the timing is not coincidental. Let's ask about the situation first. If it is not urgent, I will send someone to ask the emperor for instructions. Come to Yan Let’s take a trip to the country. If people’s lives are really at stake, let’s see what we can do.”
Gu Ling hugged Su Liang into her arms and sighed slightly, "Thank you."
"Because of this? Why are you so polite?" Su Liang chuckled.
"Well, actually I just want to take the opportunity to hug you." Gu Ling rubbed Su Liang's hair.
Su Liang pushed Gu Ling away, "Don't be so cheesy. I'm going to talk to your master. If you want to go, you must first find out who he is."
…
Nangong Lin watched Gu Ling and Su Liang come out together and sat down opposite him.
He looked at Su Liang with gentle eyes, "I didn't expect that the rumored miracle doctor would be so young. You and Ling'er are both geniuses."
"Master is exaggerating." Su Liang smiled, "I wonder what age the patient Master mentioned? What kind of disease does it have?"
Nangong Lin sighed, "She is more than one year older than Ling'er. Her name is Nangong Qian. She is my daughter, but she is not my biological daughter. She is an orphan of a good friend and I raised her. She was born with deficiencies, was frail and sick, and could not bear the slightest cold, so We have lived in Yan Country, where there is no winter. Before I went out, Qian'er couldn't stand up and kept coughing all day long, with blood in her phlegm."
With that said, Nangong Lin stopped. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, looked at Gu Ling and said, "Qian'er's biological mother is your mother's sister Situ Xiang. I don't know if you have heard of this name."
Su Liang was stunned and immediately thought of the letter she and Gu Ling found in Prince Yue's Mansion in Yaocheng last year. Could it be that Situ Xiang's letter was written to Nangong Lin?
"If so many things hadn't happened back then, Qian'er should have been your sister." Nangong Lin smiled bitterly, "Her mother was the adopted daughter of King Yue of Liang Kingdom. She grew up with your mother since they were young. They have a deep relationship. It's a pity that her fate not good."
"Who is her father?" Gu Ling asked.
Nangong Lin's eyes suddenly turned cold, "It's okay to tell you. Qian'er's father is the Emperor of Liang Kingdom, Situ Han. It was that beast that raped Xiang Mei. She found out that she was pregnant, so she escaped in order to get rid of the beast's entanglement.
Yaocheng, when I found her, Qian'er was already born. She passed away soon after entrusting the child to me."
What Nangong Lin said can be matched with the autographed letter from Situ Xiang found by Su Liang in the Yue Palace of Liang Kingdom and the bloody hairpin found in the palace.
It seems to be a triangle relationship. Situ Xiang likes Nangong Lin, but Nangong Lin likes Situ Ning. Now that the sisters have passed away, Nangong Lin is using his own way to protect the children they left behind?
"I know it's very difficult for you to come here rashly, but I really can't help it." Nangong Lin sighed deeply, "Qian'er said that letting her go may be a relief for both her and me. But I forgot
Without Xiangmei's trust, if she were still here, she would definitely try her best to save that child."
"I understand." Su Liang nodded, "Is Master originally from the Yan Kingdom?"
Nangong Lin nodded, "I am from the Yan State, and my family is in the medicinal herb business. When I was young, I traveled extensively and visited many places before I met Ling'er's mother and Qian'er's mother."
"Does master know my father? He was also in the medicinal materials business before he died." Su Liang asked.
Nangong Lin shook his head, "I have heard about the Su family of Qian Kingdom. Your grandfather is very good at medicine, but I have never met your father."
"Let's discuss this matter again. Master, let's go and rest first." Su Liang said. It was hard for her to refuse, both emotionally and rationally.
"Okay, thank you." Nangong Lin stood up and left to go to the guest house arranged for him by Lin Wei.
…
"Great God, what should I do? If it is really Situ Xiang's daughter, she is indeed your sister." Su Liang asked Gu Ling, "How about I go to the Yan Kingdom with him, and you can sit in Kasyapa City and give the emperor a message at the same time.
?As long as nothing happens, there should be no big problem with the Emperor."
"No." Gu Ling shook his head, "We have to go together."
Su Liang shrugged, "Then you think of a way and I'll listen to you."
Gu Ling insisted on sleeping in the same room as Su Liang, with her sleeping on the bed and him sleeping on the floor.
When the lamp was blown out, the moonlight poured in like mercury.
Gu Ling heard Su Liang turn over and knew that she was not asleep, so he silently grabbed her hand on the bedside.
"Great God, I can't sleep like this." Su Liang said.
"Then, shall I go up?" Gu Ling asked.
Su Liang knocked down a pillow and said, "Calm down and go to sleep."
"Okay." Gu Ling sighed inaudibly, "How long will it take?"
Su Liang thought about how when they got married in Liang Kingdom, she disliked the heavy wedding dress and decided to make a cheongsam for herself when they got married, just to show it to her husband, and said, "At least, wait until I make a new dress."
Gu Ling was puzzled, "What new clothes?"
Su Liang chuckled, "Keep it secret, you will definitely like it."
