On this day, Bai Yang and Ji Yuexuan came to the Su Mansion as guests, specifically to thank Su Liang for his original rescue and continued care.
Su Liang was very direct, "Because you are Lonicera's younger brother. If it were anyone else, I probably wouldn't care."
Bai Yang knows. But no matter what, he will never forget this kindness.
Ji Yuexuan and Su Liang were already very familiar with each other. After leaving the palace, she often came to Su's house and brought gifts to Gu Xiaonuan every time.
Because Ji Yuebai went to the north, the two decided to wait for him to come back before getting married.
"I heard from my sister that the prince has gone to Xingluo Island. How about I go to the south to meet him?" Bai Yang asked Su Liang seriously.
Lonicera also said this, and Su Liang rejected it at that time. At this time, she said, "No need. We will wait until there is news." Although Lonicera and Baiyang are not weak in martial arts, they are still far behind Gu Ling and Qiu Jing.
, going alone probably won't be of much help. Moreover, Su Liang has never regarded Lonicera as a human being, and Baiyang is half an outsider to her. It is not easy for their siblings to get to where they are today.
Will it be easy for them to do risky things?
The wedding date of Rendong and Qi Jun has been set, two months later. Su Liang gave them a house with everything in it, which was named the Qi Mansion. In addition, he also prepared a lot of dowry for Rendong. It can be solved with money.
None of it is a problem.
After Liandong returned to Beijing, she still lived in the Su Mansion. This was her home, and she wanted to take good care of the family before getting married. Especially now that Gu Ling was gone, Su Liang could still use her.
Lonicera proposed to move Yan Shiba to live in her yard and she would take care of him so that Qiu Yue would not have to work too hard. Su Liang thought about it and decided that this would be a good idea.
Yan Shiba was moved to Lonicera and lived next door to Lonicera. When the weather was nice, Lonicera would lift Yan Shiba into a wheelchair and push her outside to bask in the sun or walk around in the garden.
Liandong knew most of the past events between Su Liang and Yan Shiba. Su Liang had told her that if Yan Shiba took the initiative to ask, he would tell her the truth. If she didn't ask, there would be no need to say so much.
Recently, in addition to taking her children to read books and make medicine, Su Liang also did one more thing, researching drugs and antidotes that cause amnesia. For this reason, she went to Lin Shan several times, but she found nothing. It was not long before Lin Shan was drugged.
It has been a long time since she lost her memory, and she didn't feel anything.
The drug that caused Lin Shan's amnesia was provided by Yue Mei. Lao Bai basically knew what Yue Mei knew, so Su Liang had the formula of the amnesia drug and the patent medicine she made herself. She once asked Lao Bai,
Whether this kind of medicine can solve the problem and bring people's memories back, Lao Bai said no, but he also said that Su Liang could try to make a reversible amnesia medicine on her own.
Because of Yan Shiba's amnesia, Su Liang started to do the thing that he once had no clue about. It happened that he had a lot of free time recently. If he succeeded and found the "solution" to his amnesia, there might be hope for Lin Xi
and Yan Shiba’s memory recovery.
Under Su Liang's treatment, Yan Shiba's health is gradually improving, and his complexion has also become better.
The weather was sunny that day. Liandong pushed Yan Shiba into the garden. Brothers Qi Yan and Qi Jun were picking pomegranates with Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu. The two children were standing on the tree, picking the reddest and largest pomegranate.
They agreed to have a competition, and whoever loses can't eat meat today.
Seeing Lonicera approaching, Qi Jun came up to her with a smile and handed her a big red pomegranate.
Speaking of this pomegranate tree, Qi Yan and Qi Jun were very familiar with it because it was specially given to Su Liang by Xing Yusheng. Before coming to the Su Mansion, this ancient tree originally grew in the former Beijing Prince's Mansion.
Lonicera asked Yan Shiba if he wanted to eat. Yan Shiba shook his head slightly, "No. Just eat it."
But Lonicera quickly peeled a pomegranate according to the method she learned from Su Liang, put the crystal clear fruit in a bowl, and gave Yan Shiba a small spoon. This time she did not refuse and ate the pomegranate quietly.
, while watching the lively scene not far away.
"Uncle Qi Yan, I want that!"
"Uncle Qi Jun, hurry up, that one is mine!"
The two children saw a large pomegranate hanging on the top of the tree in a relatively hidden position at the same time, and quickly called their assistant.
Brothers Qi Yan and Qi Jun jumped up almost at the same time to grab the pomegranate.
But Qi Jun was a little distracted looking at the honeysuckle, and after a moment's delay, the pomegranate finally fell into Qi Yan's hands steadily.
Ji Xiaoshu cheered, "I won!"
Zheng'er sighed slightly, "Uncle Qi Jun, why don't you go play with Aunt Lonicera." Anyway, he was distracted here.
Qi Jun felt very sorry for Zheng'er, so he secretly asked him to take him out to eat meat in the afternoon.
Zheng'er was really speechless at this moment, "Outside, does it mean the restaurant owned by my family? It's not like I'm short of a meal."
Qi Jun:...I am speechless.
Not long after, the largest, reddest and most beautiful pomegranate on the whole tree was held in front of Su Liang by Ji Xiaoshu as if it were a treasure, "It's for the master's wife!"
Su Liang rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's little head and asked with a smile, "Do you want to drink pomegranate juice?"
Ji Xiaoshu nodded immediately, "Yes!"
Zheng'er stood behind Ji Xiaoshu and silently waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want it anymore. Zheng'er thought everything Su Liang made was delicious, except for pomegranate juice.
I recall that Su Liang asked this question last year, and Gu Ling was there at that time. At that time, Zheng'er was as happy and looking forward to it as Ji Xiaoshu was at this time, thinking that the juice made by such delicious pomegranates through the master's hands would be the most delicious thing in the world.
Got it!
It's a pity that Zheng'er didn't realize why his master smiled and said nothing at that time, until he took a sip of the beautiful-looking pomegranate juice. The sourness that went straight to the heavens made him feel full of saliva just thinking about it now...
Although Su Liang said later that he was just joking and added honey to it to make it taste much better, Zheng'er still couldn't forget the "sourness" of the first sip.
Su Liang and Gu Ling had a small house in Bei'an County with a pomegranate tree inside. Su Liang once made Gu Ling pure natural pomegranate juice without additives, which left him speechless.
Now, this seems to have become a "legacy".
Not long after, Ji Xiaoshu shouted from the Yuanming Pavilion, "Senior Brother, you knew you would be very upset, but you didn't tell me, stop!"
Of course, Ji Xiaoshu would not blame his favorite mistress for teasing him on purpose, so Zheng'er, who was "angry", was chased around the house by Ji Xiaoshu.
…
That night, Su Liang put her daughter to sleep. She sat alone by the window and meditated on a pile of medicinal materials, but she never found a breakthrough.
"Master." Lonicera knocked on the door outside.
Su Liang put down a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Come in."
Lonicera walked through the door, glanced at Gu Xiaonuan first, walked over gently, and lowered her voice, "I saw there was still a light on, so I came to take a look."
"It's okay, you go to bed early." Su Liang said.
Lonicera did not leave, "Master, there is something..."
Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "Sit down. What's the matter? I heard from Xiaoshu that you and Qi Jun hope to live here after you get married? Do you want to ask me about this? No problem."
Ling Dong shook his head, "It's not about this. It's about Miss Yan."
Su Liang's expression turned serious, "What's wrong with her? Is there anything wrong?"
Lonicera thought for a moment and said, "It's not that there's something wrong, it's just that I feel like she has changed. Can amnesia make a person change so much? Her personality is completely different from before."
"Yes." Su Liang nodded slightly, "She has forgotten everything, even who she is, and she is so seriously injured, weak, and in a strange environment. She will never be the same as before."
Yan Shiba was very arrogant, but now she has no conditions to be arrogant at all.
Liandong nodded, "My master is right. It's my subordinate who thinks too much."
Su Liang smiled and said, "If Chengyun is here, let her meet her and see how she reacts." There were two people that Yan Shiba liked the most, one was Su Liang and the other was Chengyun. The last time with Su Liang
When they met, Yan Shiba began to consider whether to become a good person in Jinpenshou, also for the sake of Su Liang's recognition and a future with Chengyun.
Nowadays, many things have changed, and Yan Shiba was forced to wash his hands in a golden basin, forgetting all about the bloody storm of the past.
After Lonicera left, Su Liang still couldn't figure out how to make the antidote, so she went to sleep.
Two days later, Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu returned to the capital. Su Liang counted the time and Gu Ling and his party who were going to Xingluo Island should have almost arrived.
Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu cared too little about Gu Xiaonuan to bother reminiscing with Su Liang.
After Gu Xiaonuan was taken away by Qiu Cong, Yan Yu went upstairs to find Su Liang and said, "Nuan Nuan is so beautiful."
Su Liang nodded, "Yes, my man is the most handsome."
Yan Yu smiled broadly. Gu Xiaonuan looked just like Gu Ling, and there was no doubt about Gu Ling's beauty.
It had only been two months since Su Liang took Yan Yu's pulse and reminded her to rest, stop knocking, and not do exercises with Nian Jincheng.
Yan Yu looked stunned, "What are you talking about? Of course we know this."
Nian Jincheng chatted with Su Liang alone for a while, and talked about Gu Ling's trip to Xingluo Island. He only took five hundred elites with him, firstly because they did not have a bigger ship, and secondly because they had to use fire attacks or explosives, which was not the case.
Too many people are needed, and they are not going to fight, and ordinary soldiers will die if they attack Xingluo Island. In Gu Ling's plan, they will not land on the island at all, but will keep a distance and attack. Bringing more people will require
Sufficient food reserves and larger and more concentrated targets make them easier to attack.
"Most of the explosives had to be made by Ah Ling on the road. He brought a lot of raw materials on the road." Nian Jincheng said. It would be a waste of time to prepare everything in Kasyapa City before setting off.
Su Liang sighed slightly, "Actually, I'm worried that people on Xingluo Island will see Qiu Jing and insist that Gu Ling also went there but didn't show up, forcing him to show up. It might be very troublesome then."
Nian Jincheng nodded, "It is possible, but for this kind of thing, we can only let him adapt to changes and see who can be stable."
There are hostages on Xingluo Island. Gu Ling is relatively passive. Although Nian Jincheng and Su Liang are worried, they have absolute confidence in his abilities and mind. They just want to know what the situation is there as soon as possible.
Already.
…
People who go to sea for the first time always feel at first that the sky is high and the sea is vast, the mind is far-reaching, the sunrise is stunningly beautiful, the sunset is magnificent, and even the seabirds look freer than the birds on land.
But after a few days, there is no freshness, and I start to feel bored. Even looking at the endless blue sea for a long time makes people feel empty and pessimistic with a uncertain future. The boat swaying with the waves always makes people miss their feet.
The calmness of walking on solid ground.
Qiu Jing's psychology has gone through the above changes, and he has shared them with Gu Ling, hoping to find some sense of identity, but unfortunately Gu Ling is focused on making explosives and cannot see any ups and downs in his mood. Occasionally showing a little emotion, then it must be
I am missing Su Liang and Gu Xiaonuan, nothing else.
Qiu Jing had long known that Gu Ling was unable to communicate, but he couldn't help but try. After all, there was no one else around him that he wanted to talk to. After discovering that Gu Ling was really not in the mood to pay attention to him, Qiu Jing found a goal for himself: a chance encounter.
Sheng Yue.
This was a matter of chance, but when Qiu Jing started looking for Sheng Yue on the sea, who might be in front of them or behind them, he found something to do for himself.
Unfortunately, until they were about to arrive at their destination, they didn't even see Sheng Yue's shadow along the way.
"It will be here at dawn." Qiu Jing looked solemn, "Maybe the people on Xingluo Island have discovered us."
"Yeah." Gu Ling raised the gun in his hand and aimed it between Qiu Jing's eyebrows.
Looking into the black muzzle of the gun, Qiu Jing's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stepped aside, "Don't be so scary. Let's get down to business. It's still the same issue I mentioned at the beginning. If the people on Xingluo Island insist that you also
You're here, but you're just hiding, what if I use hostages to force you to show up?"
Gu Ling put away the gun, "You take the people and follow the original plan. I will leave before dawn and go to the island secretly."
Qiu Jing's expression changed, "No! As promised, you can't show up, let alone go to that damn island. Who knows if there will be any traps waiting for you! If Sheng Yue expected you to come, at this moment
Maybe I'm already ready and waiting for you to come to my door! I never agree with you going to the island alone. If we go out together, we must go home together, otherwise how can I have the face to go back and see Su Liang? "
Gu Ling frowned and pondered for a moment, "We've already come. If we don't go to the island, we won't be able to figure out what they want."
"In short, I don't agree." Qiu Jing felt that safety was the first priority. Gu Ling's arrest would never happen. But Xingluo Island is too mysterious, and Min Rou has been away from the island for some time.
They don't know what's going on on the island now.
"Then, let's save people first." Gu Ling said, "If we can successfully rescue people tomorrow, I will then look at the situation and decide whether to go to the island secretly."
It's not that Gu Ling doesn't care about his own safety. The premise of everything is that he knows that Mo Yan and Sheng Yue want to catch him, but they don't want to kill him. Maybe they will make him do something that may cost him his life after catching him, but no matter what
In this way, we have to find a way to figure out what is going on in order to have countermeasures. Otherwise, even if we rescue people and leave this time, things will not turn around much. There are so many masters on Xingluo Island who may capture many hostages and come back at any time.
When Qiu Jing mentioned Su Liang, Gu Ling thought about it and decided to wait and see what happens tomorrow.
But one thing neither Gu Ling nor Qiu Jing expected was that Sheng Yue, who had been injured by Gu Ling before, did not rush back to Xingluo Island immediately, but went in the opposite direction.
Qiu Jing stared at Sheng Yue along the way and wanted to "encounter" Sheng Yue and shoot him into a sieve, but he didn't know that when they were approaching Xingluo Island, Sheng Yue had secretly sneaked into the capital...
