When Qiu Jing saw Xing Ji, he was talking to Bai Yang. Qi Jiang, Qi Jun and Lonicera were also there.
"Ajing, you came just in time." Xing Ji raised his head and said to Qiu Jing, "You have been working as a forward for several days in a row. Although you are not injured, you still need a rest. I am discussing with Bai Yang to let him lead troops out of the city to fight tomorrow.
how do you feel?"
Qiu Jing nodded, "I have no objection." He came to atone for his sins, but he was not greedy for it. As soon as Bai Yang came, the two of them competed. His martial arts was not as good as Qiu Jing's, but against the generals of Shang Liang Kingdom
There is no problem at all, and Bai Yang Mingzhuo said that he made a big mistake and needs credit. I hope he will be used when he can be used.
"I'll go with Bai Yang." Liandong said. She was the only person present who knew best what kind of trouble Bai Yang had caused, but she didn't want Bai Yang to sacrifice his life for the future, as there would be no future at all.
Qi Jun sighed in his heart. He really wanted to fight side by side with Liandong, but Xing Ji affirmed his mind and military skills. His shortcoming was martial arts. With stronger generals around, it was impossible for him to go out of the city to take risks.
His father will be the first to object, and he is also afraid that if something happens to him, it will cause trouble for everyone.
"Okay, we tentatively decided that you and your brother will lead the troops out of the city to fight tomorrow." Xing Ji nodded and saw Qiu Jing take out a letter from his arms and hand it over.
Xing Ji immediately frowned. If it was a letter sent by someone from Su Liang, it should have reached him first.
After receiving the letter, he quickly read it, his face became solemn, and he handed the letter to Qi Jun.
Qi Jun and Liandong looked at it together, and their expressions also darkened.
"Nangong Lin is Gu Ling and I's master, and also my grandpa's apprentice. He taught us all our martial arts." Qiu Jing said coldly, "And my sister Nangong Qian is his biological daughter. She was on the island earlier.
He was injured and escaped, and then disappeared. More than half a year has passed."
"Are you sure it's Nangong Lin's handwriting?" Xing Ji asked. He had heard Su Liang talk about this person, but he had never seen it.
Qiu Jing nodded, "It was written by him, and my grandfather also confirmed it."
"But..." Xing Ji looked at the letter in Qi Jun's hand again, "Your sister Nangong Qian lives with Xiao Liang and Xiao Gu in Su Mansion in the capital. How could something happen?"
Ling Dong nodded immediately, "That's right! Master and uncle are here, so it's impossible for Nangong Lin to break into the house and capture Miss Nangong! Besides, there are two masters of the master at home, and among them, Senior Cen lives in the same courtyard as Miss Nangong!"
Qi Jun thoughtfully said, "I think this letter is fraudulent."
Qiu Jing nodded, "My grandfather was a little nervous when he heard that my sister was taken away by Nangong Lin, but I also feel that Nangong Lin is setting a trap to catch me or kill me, and my sister is not in his hands."
Su Liang and Gu Ling have always acted cautiously and thoughtfully. The conflict between Nangong Qian and them has long since passed. Su Liang not only cured Nangong Qian's body, but also influenced her to change for the better. This is Nangong Qian's.
I said it myself in the letters that came to me every once in a while.
Nangong Qian wrote a letter saying that when she occasionally went out, to Huguo Temple or shopping, Su Liang would arrange for Cen Man to accompany her, and if Cen Man had something to do, he would ask Lao Mu to escort her.
Nangong Lin's martial arts skills were higher than those of Cen Man and Lao Mu, but as Su Liang's masters, when they really encountered an enemy, they could not only use martial arts.
Before the war started, Qiu Jing knew that Lao Mu and Gu Ling had made some very powerful weapons together, and had also sent some explosives, but they had told them not to use them lightly.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Nangong Lin to take Nangong Qian away from the capital or even the Su Mansion, unless Su Liang and Gu Ling encounter other troubles. But as far as they know, there is no such thing Something happens.
Qiu Jing even felt that Nangong Lin did not dare to send Su Liang to his door rashly when he knew that Gu Ling's strength surpassed him and that Su Liang was a poison master. He cherished his life and was not the kind of person who would risk everything for his daughter. .
"Could it be that Nangong Lin is colluding with the royal family of the Liang Kingdom and is working for Situ Xie?" Qi Jun was moved in his heart, "After all, General Qiu has a special status. The Liang Kingdom will not treat General Qiu as if nothing happened. It is very possible to send people to deal with General Qiu as a Qian people. In particular, General Qiu has recently blocked the attack of the Liang army and dampened their morale. For the people of Liang, it is precisely because of the It is General Qiu who is fighting, and I will only hate him even more."
Originally, Qiu Jing was supposed to be the prince of the Situ family, but he betrayed the Situ family and chose to become a member of the Qian Kingdom. He also led an army to attack the Liang Kingdom. Every time Qiu Jing repelled the Liang Kingdom's army, he was repeating the loss of the Situ royal family's dignity. Crush them, adding fuel to the fire in the hearts of the Liang army.
Can Situ Xie endure this situation any longer? If Nangong Lin really colluded with Situ Xie, wouldn't he be the best candidate to deal with Qiu Jing?
"It's possible." Qiu Jing frowned, "I originally thought that since it was a trap, in order to avoid complications, I would ignore it and wait until Nangong Lin couldn't help but show up and then kill him. But what if he followed Situ Xie's order? Come here, maybe you know something important. Lord Marquis, are you going to take advantage of this and take him down?"
Xing Ji disagreed, "He knows your grandpa is here, so he can't come alone. Once you go there, you may be trapped even if you know it's a trap. What if he uses poison? That Yue Mei hasn't come yet Death, she has been helping Situ Xie. Xiao Liang’s last letter told her not to have contact with people from the Liang Kingdom outside the battlefield."
The reason why Su Liang warned him like this was because he speculated that if the space traveler participated in the war between the two countries, he might not only help transport food and grass, but also help Situ Xie with other things, which would be very troublesome. This is also the reason why Qiu Cong did not go to arrest the general of Liang Kingdom even though he had the idea.
There is a mysterious person on the other side who doesn't know the details. If the war develops normally, Xuanbei City can still control the situation. Once an unexpected abnormal situation occurs, such as the two sides starting to use secret tricks to capture hostages, it is easy to lose control.
Qiu Jing sighed, "What the Marquis said makes sense. I believe that my sister is not in Nangong Lin's hands at all. Even if she is really captured by him, there is no danger. He will never kill his daughter without any reason. So, it’s better for us to avoid the trap set by Nangong Lin. If this plan doesn’t work, let’s see if he has other plans.”
Qiu Jing told Qiu Cong the results of his discussion with Xing Ji, and Qiu Cong had no objection. With his previous temper, it was impossible for him to be so calm. He really wanted to go to the appointment tonight and chop Nangong Lin into pieces. But The overall situation is the most important thing. Now he is not fighting alone. Su Liang will remind him every time he writes a letter, telling him not to act rashly and to consult with Qiu Jing when encountering problems.
…
It's night, outside Xuanbei City.
Nangong Lin waited until midnight and didn't see anyone coming to the appointment.
"No one will come." Yue Mei walked out from behind a big tree on crutches with a hoarse voice. She had her right foot and left hand chopped off by Gu Ling in Wangxiang Mountain. Although she had iron hands and feet,
But it's not easy to use. Especially her feet, it will be very painful if she walks with force, so now she always uses a crutch to lend strength.
Nangong Lin looked cold and faced the direction of Xuanbei City without saying a word.
Yue Mei snorted coldly, "Your master and apprentice are not fools. Your daughter is in Su Liang and Gu Ling's house, and they know you can't take her away. You also swore to Emperor Liang that you could help him take Situ Jing back. That's right.
Too full.”
Nangong Lin turned around and looked at Yue Mei coldly, "Are you mocking me?"
Yue Mei snorted coldly, "You're overthinking. What we have to do is the same thing. Gu Ling made me look like this. I want them to lose everything more than you do and die! Emperor Liang has confessed that no matter what
Whether it works or not, let us go find Lord Mo and listen to his orders. Let’s go.”
"Who is that person?" Nangong Lin asked.
Yue Mei shook her head, "Stop your curiosity, it won't do you any good. Don't think that being good at martial arts is a big deal. Lord Mo's abilities are beyond your imagination. Besides, your martial arts skills, Lord Mo, are beyond your imagination.
The Lord may not be interested in you, there are many of his subordinates who are better in martial arts than you."
Nangong Lin's expression twisted for a moment, but he did not refute Yue Mei's words.
When it was getting dark, Nangong Lin and Yue Mei followed the instructions given by Situ Xie and found an inconspicuous house in Nanping City.
When entering, Nangong Lin silently walked half a step behind Yue Mei, letting her walk in front.
"Who is coming?" The person blocking the road was a young man.
Yue Mei was very polite, "We have to be guided by Emperor Liang and come to see Lord Mo. My surname is Yue, and I am an old friend of Lord Mo. This surname is Nangong, and he is the master of Gu Ling and Situ Jing."
"Wait here." The young man turned around and entered the room. He came out shortly after and pointed at Nangong Lin, "Master wants you to come in."
Yue Mei's face froze, feeling that she had lost face, but she did not dare to have an attack, so she sat down on the cold stone bench in the courtyard and leaned her crutches on the stone table.
The moment Nangong Lin walked in, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He hadn't been afraid of anyone for many years, but this mysterious man he hadn't seen yet made him very afraid: because of Situ Xie's attitude and what Yue Mei said.
those words.
A red candle was lit in the room. Nangong Lin didn't see where Mo Yan was at first, until he heard an old voice coming from the window, "When did you start teaching Gu Ling martial arts?"
Nangong Lin was startled, his eyes fell on Mo Yan, and he felt as if he was integrated with the dim light in the room, like a cold sculpture, without the breath of a living person.
"Huh?" Mo Yan said again.
Nangong Lin came back to his senses, and his tone was a little respectful unconsciously, "I started teaching him martial arts when he was eight years old. But I met him before that because his mother Situ Ning is a good friend of mine."
"Sit." Mo Yan pointed to another location in the room.
Nangong Lin sat down, and the red candle was next to him, reflecting his face, but from his angle, Mo Yan's face could not be seen clearly. He felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"What kind of person is he?" Mo Yan asked again.
Nangong Lin was stunned for a moment, "Gu Ling? He is... a very capable person, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune. He seems cold-hearted, but in fact he is kind and loyal."
This was what Nangong Lin subconsciously said sincerely, but he regretted it after saying it, because it was obviously a compliment to Gu Ling. But he also hated Gu Ling very much.
"What was he like when he was a child? Is he different from ordinary children?" Mo Yan asked.
Nangong Lin murmured in his heart. Before he came, he never thought that Lord Mo would be so interested in Gu Ling. Was it because of Gu Ling that he was allowed in in the first place?
"Can't remember?" Mo Yan asked.
Nangong Lin's expression turned serious, "Gu Ling has been different from ordinary children since he was a child. He has been exceptionally calm and rational. Sometimes when you look at his eyes, he doesn't look like a child at all. Moreover, he is extremely smart, has excellent understanding, and learns everything very quickly."
Unsure of Mo Yan's intentions, Nangong Lin chose to tell the truth to avoid getting himself into trouble. Because he was not the only one who knew many things.
"Has he ever been sick or seriously injured when he was a child?" Mo Yan asked again.
Nangong Lin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't remember it. He has been in good health since he was born, and he is a genius in martial arts."
"What about Su Liang? She has changed so much, what do you think?" Mo Yan mentioned Su Liang again.
Nangong Lin hummed, "Her martial arts was definitely taught by Gu Ling!"
"Is the same with medical skills?" Nangong Lin asked.
Mo Yan shook his head, "It's probably not about medical skills. Su Liang's grandfather is a famous doctor, and his medical skills are normal. It's just that no one knew about it before the accident happened to the Su family."
"If I want Gu Ling to leave everything behind, leave with me, and go somewhere else, is that possible?" Mo Yan asked.
Nangong Lin immediately shook his head, "Impossible. He will not be separated from Su Liang unless..."
"Unless what?" Mo Yan asked.
Nangong Lin's eyes suddenly turned deep, "Unless Su Liang dies, it is possible to separate her from Gu Ling."
"You want to kill Su Liang?" Mo Yan's voice was low.
Nangong Lin's heart skipped a beat. Although he still didn't understand why Mo Yan wanted Gu Ling to go with him, he was already sure that Mo Yan was here for Gu Ling. Once he succeeded, what Nangong Lin wanted to do would naturally be the same.
It will be much simpler.
"That woman has indeed ruined many things for me." Nangong Lin said, "It would be great if we could get rid of her."
"Yue Mei also wants to kill her. In that case, this matter will be left to you two." Mo Yan said in a completely commanding tone, "Don't touch Gu Ling, and don't let him know that it has anything to do with me. Once the matter is done,
, whatever you ask for, you can get."
…
When Nangong Lin came out of the room, Yue Mei stood up immediately, but no one asked her to come in.
"Let's go." Nangong Lin walked out without waiting for Yue Mei.
Yue Mei frowned, picked up the crutch, and followed Nangong Lin silently.
It was already getting dark, and the two of them stopped in a quiet forest.
"What did Lord Mo say?" Yue Mei asked.
"He asked us to kill Su Liang." Nangong Lin said thoughtfully, "Do you know what the relationship between him and Gu Ling is?"
Yue Mei shook her head, "I don't know. But killing Su Liang is exactly what I want to do most. Gu Ling made me crippled, so I want to cut Su Liang into pieces and let him feel the pain of loss, haha
! And my senior brother, he misses Su Liang just like he missed that bitch Shen Qingxue. I will make him regret rejecting me! Your plan failed, but I will definitely succeed with a similar plan, because Su Liang knows very well
, her master and Yuan Ying are in my hands!"
Nangong Lin looked towards the direction of Xuanbei City, "That's great. It's time for me to go see my daughter. Let's go."
…
Xuanbei City.
Qiu Jing didn't go to the appointment, and he didn't see Nangong Lin show up or send any more news, but he was still on guard.
But what Qiu Jing didn't know was that Nangong Lin secretly passed through Xuanbei City that day and went to the capital with Yue Mei.
Battle reports continued to arrive in the capital, and there was no sign that Mo Yan was going to use explosives. However, Su Liang was worried that Liang's repeated attacks on the city had failed, and Mo Yan's patience had worn away, so he might still provide assistance.
Therefore, Su Liang kept counting the time, hoping that Min Rou and Lao Mu would arrive as soon as possible, successfully find Mo Yan, and inform him of the matter, which might turn the whole situation around.
