"Good morning, Master. Shall we set off back today?"
"Well... we'll see you tomorrow, you need to rest."
The third day.
"Master, should we go?"
"Well... don't worry, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
After spending three days of darkness and darkness with Gu Ling, Su Liang felt that she could no longer go on like this.
"That's it for tonight, sleep well and leave tomorrow." Su Liang said, putting a pillow between her and Gu Ling.
Gu Ling's hand stretched out from under the pillow, and as soon as it touched Su Liang, she grabbed it and threw it back. "If you move again, sleep in separate beds."
This threat took effect immediately. Gu Ling sighed slightly, "Is there something I did that dissatisfied you?"
Su Liang closed her eyes and told herself not to look at him, otherwise she would be seduced again, "Master, overdoing this kind of thing is not good for your health."
"It's only been three days..." Gu Ling said that he was stopped just after eating meat. Is it justified by nature? Is it in line with human nature? He is in good health!
"It's not like we can't do it tomorrow." Su Liang blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gu Ling's deep laughter, "Oh, you said it, tomorrow."
Feeling sleepy, Su Liang quickly fell into sleep.
Gu Ling woke her up again in the middle of the night. Su Liang was so drunk that she heard Gu Ling say in her ear, "After midnight, it's a new day."
…
Maybe people in love always like to stick together. Su Liang thought it was okay, but Gu Ling obviously wanted to be close to her all the time after consummating the marriage, in various ways.
Su Liang has always called Great God Gu Ling, not because he is aloof, but because he is an all-around genius who can excel at anything he doesn't do, including being a man...
Su Liang is in good health and has a very generous view on this kind of thing. He also fully understands that Gu Ling is energetic at a young age, but he is still a little overwhelmed.
After all, this is not their home, and now they do not have complete "freedom" and must go back as soon as possible.
"Why don't we leave tomorrow?" Gu Ling looked at the tiredness between Su Liang's brows and felt a little regretful for teasing her last night.
Su Liang glared at Gu Ling with a straight face, "Do you dare to say 'tomorrow' again?"
Gu Ling clasped her hands and bowed deeply, "Madam, please calm down."
Su Liang cursed in his heart, why should he calm down his anger? He would dare to do it next time!
"Think carefully about how to deal with your perverted master." Su Liang shook his head, "That person has a very bad character and a strong desire for revenge. He might cause trouble for our friends."
Gu Ling's expression became serious, "Ask Situ Xie about Nangong Qian's matter."
Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "That's a way."
That time in Liang Kingdom, Situ Xie didn't say much about Situ Xiang. Although Su Liang found a letter and a blood-stained hairpin at that time, he didn't let Situ Xie know about it. Even if he asked him,
The answer you get may not be true.
It's different now. Now that they know that Nangong Lin and his daughter are not good people, Su Liang and Gu Ling can use the news about the father and daughter as a stepping stone to talk to Situ Xie again.
But we have to go back to Kasyapa City first.
"By the way." Su Liang suddenly remembered another thing, "I really want to know who in the Yan Kingdom proposed to capture Lin Yi's family as hostages."
This incident has passed. Apart from Lin Shan being injured and losing her memory, and Lin Xie having her arm broken by Fan Gang, the lives of the Lin family are safe, and the leader of the Yan Kingdom, Fan Tong, has to pay with his blood.
But Su Liang's doubts at that time have never been forgotten.
Perhaps Fan Tong made such a plan after investigating the generals of Kasyapa City. But she wanted to confirm it.
The reason was still the same thing that aroused her suspicion at first: the commander-in-chief of Kasyapa City at the time was Yuan Ye. Judging from what happened later, it was feasible to arrest Lin Xie's family just to get rid of Yuan Ye. But Yuan Ye himself had a relative.
Sun Tzu, wouldn't it be more straightforward to arrest Yuan Pei? It would be much easier to arrest him alone than to arrest Lin Yi's whole family, and it would be easier to control.
The person who can come up with the hostage plan must be very smart. He should not choose the latter between Yuan Pei and Lin Wei's family, unless there are other reasons.
"Lin Shan's amnesia may not be an accident," Gu Ling said.
Lin Shan only knows some tricks and embroidery skills. Not only the Lin family is more powerful than her in martial arts, but also their uncle and cousin. In that case, why was only Lin Shan injured? It is said that the people from the Yan Kingdom were sent to arrest the Lin family.
, the strength must be very strong, and the plan is well-planned. It is certain that drugs and other things were used to give them no chance to resist. It is unreasonable to say that Lin Shan accidentally fell when he found the danger and fled.
It's even weirder to be beaten to the brain.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You mean...what did she know to have her memory erased?"
"There is medicine that can do it." Gu Ling said that he had recently experienced almost amnesia, and it was Nangong Lin's behavior that inspired him. When Su Liang mentioned the Lin family again, it reminded him of Lin Shan, who had lost his memory.
Su Liang looked confused, "Wouldn't it be easier to kill Lin Shan? Anyway, there are more than one hostage, and her death will not affect the situation at that time. The Fan family and his son set up a trap to kill General Yuan, why did they let Lin go so kindly?
Shan? They are not people who can't help but obey orders and don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"It can be seen that it is not the Fan family father and son who suggested arresting the Lin family." Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, "Maybe there is a traitor in Kasyapa City."
Su Liang's expression changed, "What kind of traitor doesn't care about Yuan Ye's death, but doesn't want Lin Shan to die?"
Her first thought was of Yuan Ye's grandson Yuan Pei, because that was Lin Shan's fiancé. Maybe there was an unknown conflict between the grandson and grandson?
But in Su Liang's mind, Yuan Pei walked up to the south tower of Kasyapa City in mourning clothes and pierced Fan Tong's body with a sword. He also had a bowl of water to take Fan Tong's blood and wanted to enshrine it in front of Yuan Ye's memorial tablet.
... Su Liang shook his head, "I don't think it's Yuan Pei, unless his disguise skills are better than Nangong Lin's. But we'd better go back as soon as possible and don't cause any more trouble."
Not being able to explain to Duanmu Yi was second. The Lin family was still living in Kasyapa City, and Nian Jincheng was also there at this time. Su Liang didn't want anything to happen to them.
"Okay." Gu Ling nodded.
…
Su Liang packed her things and waited for Gu Ling, who had gone out to buy dry food, to come back before setting off. After returning to Xiangyue City this time, she didn't even leave the house for several days.
Although the matter of children had been mentioned before, the two had not seriously discussed it. Moreover, before consummating the marriage, Gu Ling specifically asked Su Liang how to prevent pregnancy because she was only sixteen years old. The current consensus between the two is that Su Liang
If you don’t have children before you turn 18, you’ll have to decide whether you want to have children in the future.
Su Liang combed through the people and events in Kasyapa City again in her mind, but still had no clue. Compared to Yuan Pei, she felt that there was a possibility of a traitor within the Lin family.
Su Liang didn't doubt Chen Yun at the moment. If she hadn't taken out the antidote given by Lao Bai, Chen Yun would have died. Gu Ling had seen black mist appear between his eyebrows.
Footsteps sounded outside the door. Su Liang recovered his thoughts and stood up to see Gu Ling coming in.
"Fan Gang is on his way back to Xiangyue City." Gu Ling specially sneaked into General Fan's mansion to inquire about it. After Fan Tong's death, Emperor Yan sent Mu Ya's uncle to take charge of the overall situation and summoned Fan Gang to return to the capital.
Su Liang nodded, "Just right. I'll ask him clearly when I meet him."
Before going out, Gu Ling hugged Su Liang for a while. Realizing that there might be a traitor in Kasyapa City, the two decided to go back as soon as possible and could no longer waste time for fun.
Su Liang patted Gu Ling comfortingly, "We'll have more fun when we get home."
"Well, I want to see the cheongsam you mentioned." Gu Ling was still thinking about it.
Su Liang pushed him away, "You said clothes are not important."
Gu Ling chuckled, "I also asked you to wear all the clothes I haven't seen before."
Su Liang blurted out, "I thought you preferred me without clothes... Ahem, let's go."
Gu Ling tilted her head and kissed Su Liang, "I like to take off your clothes."
Su Liang's face turned red, "Let's go!"
The two disguised themselves and left Xiangyue City.
As for Mu Ya's death, Gu Ling didn't hear anyone talking about it in the city. It didn't matter whether the Yan Kingdom royal family would think she was the one who did it because of the puppet with Su Liang's name on it.
Passing by Hefeng City again, the two of them left directly without looking for Yan Shiba or going to Nangong's Mid-level Villa.
…
Kasyapa City.
Lin Xian talked about Su Liang and Gu Ling every day, but he kept waiting and waiting for them to come back.
Since Yuan Pei and Lin Shan broke off their engagement, they rarely come to Lin's house, but Lin Wei goes to see him almost every day, and no longer invites everyone to drink together, fearing that Yuan Pei and Chen Yun will be embarrassed when they meet.
Except that Nian Jincheng misses his wife at home, everything else is fine. Lin Wei takes good care of his guest, and they get along well with Chen Yun on business matters.
Chen Xiao is very outgoing and is always inseparable from Chen Yun. They seem to have a very good relationship as brothers.
But this is only seen by outsiders.
Behind closed doors, Chen Yun had less and less communication with the family of three, always avoiding Chen's father and Chen's mother.
But Chen Xiao would go to Chen Yun alone every night, saying that the two brothers were playing chess, but in fact they had never played chess.
When Chen Xiao came that day, Chen Yun was drinking alone.
Chen Xiao opened the door and called "Big Brother". When he came in and closed the door, he called "Young Master" again.
Chen Yun didn't even look at him, "Get out."
"We have business today." Chen Xiao sat down and said, "Young Master is upset because of Lin Shan, right? Marrying a woman you don't like is indeed unpleasant."
"Get out!" Chen Yun looked at Chen Xiao coldly.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Sir, I have thought of a way to help you solve your problem."
"Don't touch her." Chen Yun said coldly.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Young Master is overly worried. My master didn't kill Lin Shan at first, so how can he hurt her now? Since Young Master doesn't want to marry her, why not let her marry me."
Chen Yun frowned, "What did you say?"
"I know she likes the young master. But women always change. She once had a fiancé, but she also fell in love with him. I can't take her heart away from the young master, but there are other ways.
." Chen Xiao lowered his voice, "I found a few gangsters to capture her and drug her. I accidentally rescued her. In order to detoxify her, I had no choice but to do that. She became my woman, so naturally I could only
Marry me. As long as you plan carefully and leave no loopholes, no one will doubt you."
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he was slapped hard by Chen Yun, "Shut up!"
Chen Xiao was neither angry nor annoyed, he rubbed his beaten face, sighed and said, "Forget it if the young master is not happy, why bother to be so angry? I also want to help the young master share his worries."
"Where is your master?" Chen Yun asked coldly.
"Master, are you looking for him? I'll call him right away." Chen Xiao said and stood up.
Chen Yun snorted coldly, "No need. Next time you see him, tell him that no matter what you want to do, you must tell me first! Don't make your own decisions!"
Chen Xiao nodded, "Okay, I will tell Master."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the back window, "Sir, can I come in?"
Chen Yun's face darkened, "Come in!"
Not long after, a thin, middle-aged man with shrewd features appeared in the room, and he turned out to be the military advisor that Fan Tong had recruited earlier.
"Master." Chen Xiao saluted with a respectful expression.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then raised his hands and saluted Chen Yun, "Sir."
"Didn't you say that you are not allowed to come to me if you have nothing to do?" Chen Yun said coldly.
The middle-aged man said, "Master has a letter for Young Master."
Chen Yun stared and saw the middle-aged man taking out a letter from his arms and handing it over.
Chen Yun caught it and opened it. It was a piece of white paper. But this was not the first time he received such a letter. After flattening it, he placed it on the flame of a candle to bake, and soon dark writing appeared.
It was a letter written by Situ Xie. Chen Yun burned it after reading it.
"Master, what are your orders?" the middle-aged man asked.
Chen Yun said coldly, "He asked me to find a way to get rid of Gu Ling and Su Liang as soon as possible."
Chen Xiao looked surprised, "It seems that after this incident, the master thinks those two are the biggest obstacles. If they hadn't intervened, Yan Guo and Qian Guo would have been at war."
The world is divided into three parts. Due to their geographical location, it is difficult for Liang and Yan to fight, and once a war breaks out, Qian cannot escape.
But both the royal family of the Liang Kingdom and the royal family of the Yan Kingdom understand the principle of distant friendship and close attack. What they most want to see is a fight between the other two countries. The more intense the fight, the better.
This time Yanguo's invasion was actually instigated by Situ Xie's spy who was placed next to Fan Tong. Unfortunately, Su Liang and Gu Ling were able to turn the tide as soon as they took action.
"What do you plan to do, young master?" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Yun and asked, "Master only said to get rid of them. If young master is reluctant to kill Su Liang, I have a medicine here. As long as I can control her and make her take it,
Then you will forget about the past and stay with the young master."
Chen Yun's eyes were cold and he blurted out, "You might as well give me that medicine!"
The middle-aged man sighed deeply, "Young master, think it over carefully and decide what to do before informing your subordinates. After all, those two have not returned to Kasyapa City yet, so there is no rush." After saying this, he pulled Chen Xiao away.
Chen Yun looked at the ashes falling on the table after the letter was burned, and his eyes quickly calmed down.
…
Five days after leaving Xiangyue City, Su Liang and Gu Ling "ran into" Fan Gang and his entourage who were ordered to return to Beijing.
After tracking for half a day, the two sneaked into the inn where Fan Gang stayed late at night, drugged him, and took him away without anyone noticing.
The mass graves in the countryside are very crowded late at night.
Fan Gang woke up faintly, feeling dizzy and with a sore neck. When he saw the black shadow in front of him, he screamed, thinking he had seen a ghost.
"We meet again." Gu Ling said, imitating Lin Wei's voice.
Fan Gang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Lin... Lin Xin?!" Of course he would not forget that he broke the bones of Lin Xin's arm bit by bit.
"Your father is dead, just to repay Grandpa Yuan's life. He arrested my whole family and hurt my sister and I's debt. I made a special trip to you to settle the debt." Gu Ling said coldly.
"No... you can't kill me..." Fan Gangruo was not afraid of death and would have gone to save his father. Hearing this, his face turned pale, "It wasn't my idea! That wasn't what I did!"
"It's either you or your father. After he died, the father's debt must be paid by the son. It is only natural." Gu Ling drew his sword and pointed at Fan Gang's right arm, "If you break my bones, I will remove some of your skin and flesh."
Pick it off bit by bit, leaving only the bones."
Fan Gang froze in fear and said incoherently, "It's not me! It's not my father! It's the military advisor! It was the military advisor who suggested arresting your whole family!"
Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and Su Liang, who was hiding behind a big tree not far away, was slightly startled, "strategist?"
"It was all that man's idea! His name is Shi Yun, and he is full of scheming, and he is the one who caught the Lin family with his own hands!" Fan Gang said tremblingly.
Sure enough, Gu Ling pressed him about the origin of fortune, and Fan Gang said that he was the brother of his father's concubine the year before last. He was originally a businessman, and because of his extremely clever mind, he was reused by Fan Tong.
"Where are the others?" Gu Ling asked coldly.
"After my father died, he disappeared. Maybe he was afraid that I would settle the score with him! If my father hadn't listened to him, how could anything have happened?" Fan Gang looked at the shining sword and trembled all over, "It has nothing to do with me...
Shiyun came up with the idea, my father agreed to it, I have no right to object! I injured your arm, you hurt me as is, but don’t kill me! Your sister... Your sister’s injury was caused by Shiyun, she was captured and
That’s it!”
Su Liang suspected that Yun was just a craftsman at that time. It was easy to guess who was behind the craftsman who instigated Yan Kingdom's general to attack Qian Kingdom.
The Liang Kingdom has wanted to join forces with the Yan Kingdom to attack the Qian Kingdom for many years, and has taken action several times. If the Yan Kingdom had not always gone back on its promise, and did not send troops after consultation, but only wanted to see both the Liang Kingdom and the Qian Kingdom lose, the current situation in the world would have been
It has long since changed.
The royal family of the Liang Kingdom, which had suffered several losses, placed agents around the generals of the Yan Kingdom, instigating the Yan Kingdom's army to attack the Qian Kingdom, and proactively provided an excellent opportunity to send troops. Once a fight broke out, the Liang Kingdom would be the party with the greatest benefits.
The military advisor is a very important position. Fan Tong will not trust someone who has a short-term acquaintance with unknown origins, and Liang Guo's detailed operations have been deployed for many years and are very thorough.
"My sister lost her memory after being captured?" Gu Ling asked coldly.
Fan Gang shook his head, "I don't know... I just saw her injured and didn't know about her amnesia! My father said he wanted to kill her, but... I didn't let him! I saved your sister!"
This statement is obviously false. Fan Tong may have really said that he wanted to kill Lin Shan, but luck must have prevented him, otherwise he would not have brought the injured Lin Shan back and found someone to treat her.
After Gu Ling asked about Shi Yun's physical characteristics again, he killed Fan Gang with one sword. He had a role in killing Yuan Ye, and if Fan Gang was let go, he would probably seek revenge on the Lin family and leave trouble in the future.
Then the two of them set out on the road again, heading towards Kasyapa City.
