369. There is a high probability that the visitor is not good
Zheng'er didn't mind that he lost a paper airplane during the day. But after taking a bath at night, he took the toy from the shelf beside the bed as usual, and when he was about to go to bed and play for a while before going to sleep, he discovered that something was missing.
"Dad, Mom, there is a thief in our house!" Zheng'er quickly ran to the next door with a serious face, "The Xiaofei No. 3 given to me by Uncle Beauty is lost!"
It's an airplane model. Gu Ling gave Zheng'er three different airplane models. They are his favorite toys and can be disassembled and reassembled. They are called Xiaofei No. 1, Xiaofei No. 2, and Xiaofei No. 3.
.No. 3 is the smallest one, delicate and cute.
When Lu Yu and Wan Hui went to Zheng'er's room, they saw an empty space on the shelf. This shelf was also specially customized, and almost all the toys on it were given by Gu Ling.
Wan Hui frowned, "I didn't go out today. If there is really a thief, he must be very strong." Although Zheng'er's biological father Li San is dead and the Li family is gone, for the sake of safety, Wanfu in the capital has
Several heavily paid warriors were hired to look after the house.
"What kind of thief? He only stole a small gadget?" Lu Yu felt that something was a little strange.
Zheng'er frowned and said, "During the day, I was at the restaurant with Mr. Mu, and we even lost an origami Xiao Fei! I have to tell Uncle Beauty to go!"
Lu Yu nodded, "You have to tell him. Tomorrow."
The next day, Zheng'er went to the Su Mansion again and told Gu Ling that his Xiaofei No. 3 had been stolen from his home.
"Are you sure it was lost yesterday?" Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
Zheng'er nodded, "Yes, I saw it the night before yesterday and it's still there." He also mentioned that he lost a paper airplane yesterday.
When a paper airplane lands on a busy street, it may be picked up by someone, or it may be stepped on and turned into waste paper, but it is definitely not normal for Zheng'er's belongings to be lost at home.
There are so many valuable things in the Wan family, but they just stole a wooden model... Gu Ling thought again of the old man in gray he met a few days ago. If he really has something to do with the time traveler, he would be interested in someone with Su Liang's past life.
Are you interested in the marked objects? Breaking into the Su Mansion is too risky. Although the Wan Family is also guarded, it is not that difficult for experts in comparison.
"Uncle Beauty, who could have stolen my Xiao Fei?" Zheng'er scratched his head, feeling very strange.
Gu Ling answered with one word, "Ghost."
Zheng'er's eyes suddenly widened, "Auntie said there are no ghosts in the world!"
"For example, a thief who is like a ghost." Gu Ling rubbed Zheng'er's little head, "If you lose it, just throw it away."
"Then can I have another one?" Zheng'er knew that there were many toys in Gu Ling's study.
"Go ahead and choose." Gu Ling nodded.
Zheng'er ran into the study, looked around, and pointed at an exquisite locomotive model, "Uncle Beauty, can I have this?" Although I couldn't understand what it was, I just thought it was cute.
Gu Ling said yes, took it off and gave it to Zheng'er.
"Then what's its name?" Zheng'er asked.
Gu Ling said casually, "Little fire."
"Where is the fire?" Zheng'er wondered.
Gu Ling looked calm and said, "You can burn it and use it as firewood."
Zheng'er hugged his new toy tightly and ran away, "Uncle Beauty, don't have the thought of wasting everything!"
When Zheng'er left Yuanming Pavilion with his new toys to find Lao Mu, Gu Ling found Su Liang who was reading in a pavilion by the lake and mentioned that Zheng'er's small plane was stolen.
Su Liang also immediately noticed something was wrong, "Is it really a fellow countryman of mine who is secretly investigating to confirm my identity as a time traveler?"
Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "If you look at it from a small plane, I am the time traveler."
"Yes, yes, you look more like it." Su Liang said, "I don't know what the thief's purpose is, but it seems that he is still in the city. We must find him first."
"I put a bait." Gu Ling was referring to the locomotive model that had just been given to Zheng'er. If someone is eyeing Zheng'er and is interested in airplanes, they should also be eyeing that train.
"It may not be useful." Su Liang said. What if the other party has obtained the information they want to know through the small plane and no longer keeps an eye on Zheng'er? But it doesn't hurt to try.
Gu Ling asked Lao Mu to take Zheng'er out for shopping. Zheng'er kept holding the locomotive and wouldn't let go. This was exactly Gu Ling's purpose, to show people in the dark.
It’s not that I regret making something like this and being seen by others. Because before Gu Ling recovered, someone had already been eyeing Su Liang, who was once weak and feckless and returned from the capital. After returning from the capital, he was stunningly talented. If the two models let the people behind the scenes
People mistakenly mistake Gu Ling for a time traveler, which is exactly what Gu Ling hopes. No matter what the other party wants, if you can confuse them, you can gain more initiative.
…
That night, before going to bed, Zheng'er placed the locomotive model in the original position of Xiao Fei 3 and called out, "Uncle Beauty?"
Gu Ling appeared behind Zheng'er, picked him up and put him on the bed, then took out a medicine bottle, pulled out the stopper, and carefully sprinkled the powdered medicine on the locomotive model.
Zheng'er was lying on the bed, looking curiously, "Can the thief be caught in this way?"
Gu Ling nodded, "Try it. Go to sleep."
Zheng'er turned over and lay down, covering himself with quilt, "Uncle Beauty, do you want to sleep with me? Let's put down the bed curtain and hide it together!"
Gu Ling shook his head, "I'm here, you go to sleep first."
"Then thank you for your hard work, beautiful uncle!" Zhenger closed his eyes after finishing his words and fell asleep obediently.
After about an hour, everything fell silent.
A dark shadow climbed over the garden wall and entered Wan's Mansion, heading straight to the main courtyard silently. Zheng'er was still young, so although he lived in a room by himself, Lu Yu and Wan Hui were right next door.
Gently prying open the window of Zheng'er's room, the shadow sneaked in, took out a luminous pearl, and with the warm light, walked into the inner room in a familiar way and stopped next to the shelf beside the bed.
Ye Mingzhu approached the locomotive model. After a while, she reached out with one hand, picked up the locomotive, looked at it for a moment, nodded slightly, stuffed it into her arms, turned around and left along the original road.
When walking through the garden again, the black shadow suddenly swayed and scratched his hand, and several blood demons appeared.
The black shadow paused, speeding up and trying to leave, but Gu Ling fell from the sky and stood in front of him.
The black shadow knew that he had been tricked, but Gu Ling was counting down to five, waiting for the thief to fall.
Unexpectedly, while the black shadow stuffed a pill into his mouth, he grabbed something from his arms and threw it towards Gu Ling!
Gu Ling smelled the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, her expression changed, and she immediately dodged away.
The sound of the explosion scared Zheng'er so much that he jumped up from the bed, got out of bed with bare feet, and ran into the next room. He saw Lu Yu holding Wan Hui who looked uneasy, and they were all awakened.
"Is it thunder?" Zheng'er frowned and touched Wanhui's bulging belly, "Brother, don't be afraid. It's okay. Uncle Beauty will protect us."
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Ling's voice came from outside the door, "Zheng'er?"
"Uncle Beauty!" Zheng'er's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over to open the door.
When Lu Yu and Wan Hui packed up and came out, they saw some dust on Gu Ling's clothes and didn't know what happened.
"Has Uncle Beauty caught the thief?" Zheng'er asked.
Gu Ling shook his head, "No." The other party had an antidote, which, even if it couldn't completely remove the poison he had administered, was enough to escape. He chased after him and disappeared. What he didn't expect was that the other party's weapon was actually explosives.
Su Liang and Gu Liang have studied this thing, but have never thought of using it. There are fireworks in this world, and naturally there are some craftsmen who know how to make explosives, but they are very crude and the power is naturally much inferior to Su Liang's previous life.
But the explosives the man used tonight were quite powerful and could be carried with him. If Gu Ling had not dodged in time, he would not have died.
"It's okay." Zheng'er grabbed Gu Ling's hand and shook it, "That bad guy who stole my treasure won't end well!"
"The loud noise just now was..." Lu Yu heard it like thunder at first, but then he thought it didn't sound like it. It seemed to be coming from the direction of the garden.
"Thieves are causing trouble." Gu Ling said.
Wan Hui's face tightened, "What exactly does he want to do?" If he couldn't catch Gu Ling's careful plan, he would be an extremely troublesome person.
"The things he stole were all made by me. They were for me, not for you." Gu Ling explained.
Wan Hui breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Then you and Su Liang should be more careful."
Gu Ling nodded, "Go to sleep. We will find a way to deal with it."
…
When Gu Ling left Wan's house, he went to the garden to see the situation. A big hole was made in the ground and a tree fell down.
After returning to the Su Mansion, Gu Ling went to the study to wash up and change clothes before entering the bedroom, careful not to wake up Su Liang. But as soon as he reached the bedside, Su Liang woke up.
"I can't sleep well without you." Su Liang sat up, "How is it? Have you caught anyone?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "He ran away."
Su Liang's expression condensed. Gu Ling didn't even leave anyone behind during his attack? How high is his martial arts?
After hearing Gu Ling tell what happened, Su Liang's heart sank slightly, "Did he carry a grenade with him?"
Pay attention to the airplane and locomotive models. The weapon is a grenade. There is no doubt that it must be a time traveler.
"What did he want to do by stealing Zheng'er's toys? Why didn't he come to us directly?" Su Liang felt that things were a little weird and couldn't figure out what the person who seemed to be from the same hometown wanted.
Gu Ling shook his head, "Maybe that person was sent by the time traveler to investigate us."
Su Liang thoughtfully said, "This is possible. If you want to investigate, you need evidence. The toys you gave Zheng'er are evidence. Now I am beginning to suspect that the mysterious force related to Yue Mei is also related to the time traveler. Although it is still
There is no evidence. But if the man blows you up with a grenade tonight, isn't he afraid that something will happen to you? If he is just here to investigate."
Gu Ling thought for a while and said, "He should still be doubting whether the time traveler is you or me. The grenade is also a test to see if I recognize it and know how to avoid it. If I don't know what it is and catch it with my hands, it means
I am not the target he is looking for, so I will die if I die."
Su Liang's face darkened, "Damn it. It's probably the person who suddenly showed up to send me a note. Now that we are married, the people who are staring at me are beginning to doubt who of the two of us is the time traveler, so they came to investigate. Also.
I don’t know what the people behind the scenes want to do after finding out.”
"Go to sleep." Gu Ling shook his head, "That person took the trouble to investigate and won't get rid of us directly, otherwise there would be no need to investigate. Since he avoids us and doesn't want to run into us, he shouldn't be the one who makes the decision. Let's talk tomorrow."
…
The next day, Gu Ling took Su Liang to Wan's house to see the crater caused by the explosion last night, and then Lu Yu ordered people to restore the garden to its original state.
On their way back home after Gu Ling and Su Liang left Wanjia, they happened to bump into Xing Ji and Qi Jiang who had been rushing back from Xuanbei City day and night.
Qi Jun, who was driving the carriage, saw the man coming on horseback from a distance and looked overjoyed, "Master, my father is back!"
Qi Jun stopped the carriage on the side of the road. Gu Ling opened the curtain and saw Xing Ji riding his horse.
"Ajun! Xiaoliang, Xiaogu!" Xing Ji was very happy to see them.
"Father, don't dismount. You have to go to the palace to recover." Su Liang smiled, "Come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
Xing Ji nodded repeatedly, "Okay!" He indeed had a lot of things to do today. He went to the palace to see Duanmu Chen, and also wanted to see his daughter Xing Yuyan, and then hurried home.
Qi Jun went to talk to his father, and turned around to see Gu Ling sitting in the coachman's seat, picking up the riding whip, "Let's go back. You can accompany your father back to the Marquis Mansion."
Qi Jun knew Gu Ling and Su Liang's temperament and was not polite to them.
After Xing Ji and the Qi family's father and son left, Gu Ling drove back and took Su Liang home.
A pair of eyes stared at him in the darkness until the carriage disappeared.
In an alley in the city, the old man in gray took out the sheepskin book in his arms and opened it again. His bloody hand took out a charcoal and wrote on it, "Gu Ling has no aristocratic pretensions and drives the carriage himself." The line above reads "
Gu Ling recognized the grenade and dodged it in time.", "Gu Ling was withdrawn since he was a child, did not like to interact with others, and was extremely alienated from his relatives." "Gu Ling had excellent medical skills and entered the palace to perform acupuncture on Duanmu Yi." etc.
…
Xing Ji met Duanmu Chen first, and after reporting on his duties, he apologized to Duanmu Chen for the previous mistakes made by Miao and Xing Yuyan. They were his wife and daughter, and it was ultimately his failure to manage or teach them well.
Duanmu Chen didn't want to say anything more about that incident, and took the initiative to ask Xing Ji to visit Xing Yuyan later. In comparison, Duanmu Chen was more concerned about Qiu Jing's behavior after arriving in Xuanbei City.
Although news of what happened in Xuanbeicheng had been reported before, Situ Xie must now also know that he was stabbed in the back by Qiu Jing. But the specific process, Xing Ji, who had witnessed it, knew better.
Xing Ji then told Duanmu Chen in detail what happened outside Xuanbei City that day.
After hearing this, Duanmu Chen showed a look of satisfaction, "That's right. I think the King of Yue of Liang Kingdom will be very pleased when he learns that he has taught a good and sensible grandson."
These words are full of irony.
After Xing Ji thanked him, he left the imperial study and went to see Xing Yuyan.
When Xing Yuyan saw Xing Ji, she burst into tears.
After she finally calmed down, she opened her mouth to tell how wronged she was, saying that Duanmu Chen had neglected her, and now his heart was focused on Situ Yao, and even the new Concubine Yan did not like him.
Xing Ji knew his daughter's temperament, and she was pregnant, so he did not dare to say harsh words. He only advised her to relax, take good care of the baby, and stop thinking wildly. The most important thing was to give birth to the baby safely first.
"Will dad no longer lead troops?" Xing Yuyan asked.
Xing Ji shook his head, "It depends on the changes in the situation and the emperor's arrangements. I can't say for sure now. But there is no need to go for the time being. It is rare for me to come back this time."
"Can daddy come visit me often?" Xing Yuyan asked with tears in her eyes.
Xing Ji said that it was inconvenient for him to enter the palace often, and he would ask the emperor for permission to let Mrs. Xing spend more time with her.
…
After returning from Wanfu, Su Liang and Gu Ling made a decision. They also wanted to get some grenades. People who act secretly with unknown purposes are treated as enemies by default. Since the other party has such weapons, they must at least have them.
Similar, otherwise it will be very passive.
Some things can be used, but they cannot be lived without. Their existence is a deterrent, and they will be there when they are used.
Gu Ling wouldn't let Su Liang touch him. Su Liang had already taught Gu Ling everything he knew about this aspect, but he hadn't put it into practice before. After all, it was still a bit dangerous.
The raw materials and tools needed were prepared that day, and Gu Ling planned to make some to try tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Su Liang was still thinking about his "fellow countrymen", "Master, the time traveler who is targeting us has never been exposed. Could it be that he is not interested in the power of this world and still wants to go back?"
Gu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's hidden so deeply that we didn't find it."
"In short, it is now confirmed that in addition to the Liang Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, there is a more mysterious and perhaps more powerful enemy targeting us." Su Liang sighed slightly and became more interested as he spoke, "Suppose the other party is really
I'm quite interested in finding a way to travel back in time, provided the other party is a friend rather than an enemy."
Seeing Gu Ling frowning, Su Liang quickly said, "Of course, I'm just assuming this possibility. I don't want to wear it back without being with the master."
"I think there is a high probability that the person who came here is evil." The image of the old man in gray throwing a grenade at him appeared in Gu Ling's mind. The person behind the scenes was deeply hidden, but he made such a weapon and acted in a sneaky way.
Beware is the best.
Su Liang agreed with Gu Ling's judgment, "Then I wish the great god that the first explosion will be successful tomorrow."
