In the underground secret room of Yuanming Pavilion.
Su Liang jumped down from the stairs with Gu Xiaonuan in her arms. When she entered the secret room, she saw Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu standing side by side. They were wearing cute pajamas made by Gu Ling for them. One was a wolf cub and the other was a tiger cub. They were holding
The shining knife, the eyes alert, ready to kill the enemy. But the picture is actually a bit joyful.
Seeing that it was Su Liang, Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Su Liang through a passage and into a room.
Su Liang asked Zheng'er to hold Gu Xiaonuan, and she lit the lamp. A dim light filled the room. All the furniture was complete, and there were beddings on the bed.
Zheng'er put Gu Xiaonuan on the bed and covered her with a quilt. When she turned around, Su Liang rubbed her head and said, "You two should go to bed too and keep an eye on your sister."
Ji Xiaoshu frowned, "Master, do you want to go up and beat the bad guys?"
Su Liang nodded, "Your uncle Chengyun is still up there, I'm afraid something might happen to him."
"But if the bad guys are here to catch Master's wife, wouldn't it be better for Master's wife to hide?" Zheng'er's face was serious.
Ji Xiaoshu nodded repeatedly, "Yes! It will be very dangerous to go out! Uncle Chengyun is very powerful and can definitely beat the bad guys away!"
Su Liang sighed slightly. She knew that at this time, if someone came to cause trouble, they would most likely come for her. The two children were right. It would be best for her to hide. Once she was captured, there would be endless troubles.
But this was only from the perspective of her own safety. Because the situation outside was unclear, she was also worried that Chengyun would be in danger. The young monk had such a pure and sincere temper, Su Liang said that if he was asked to help, he would do his best.
I am willing to do so even if I risk my life.
And if the visitor is Sheng Yue, and he shows up just now, he must be well prepared, and I'm afraid it's not something Cheng Yun can handle.
"I'll go up and check the situation." Su Liang said, taking the shoes and socks from the closet, putting them on quickly, and then put on a coat. Here are the "emergency shelters" she and Gu Ling prepared, which may be used.
All.
Both children looked worried. Su Liang comforted them, "I will be careful. You guys stay here well and don't go out." As for Gu Xiaonuan, he has not woken up yet and is still sleeping soundly.
Su Liang put two grenades on his body, took a long sword and a nail gun, looked at Gu Xiaonuan again, and walked out.
"Master, be careful, we are waiting for you to come back." Zheng'er said with a serious face.
Su Liang waved his hand behind him, "I will."
…
Upstairs, Cheng Yun was still confronting the visitor, and the fight had not yet started.
It was impossible for Chengyun to imagine that the person who was not holding the child was his most trusted and favorite uncle Pucheng who was like a father to him since he was a child. The person who was holding the child was Pucheng who was unknown to everyone.
His son Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue had one of his hands broken off by Gu Ling before, but now he had an iron hand attached, which was covered by long sleeves. Pucheng wore a wig on his head, so he couldn't tell that he was a monk at all.
The two of them had indeed come prepared. Lin Jingyun in Sheng Yue's arms was the bargaining chip he had found for himself. It was more difficult to capture someone from the Su Mansion as a hostage, and it was easy to scare the snake. So he had to capture someone from the house of a friend of Su Liang's acquaintance.
For children, it is almost not difficult for a master like Sheng Yue, and it is easy to use.
"How do you want to let the child go?" Chengyun asked coldly.
Sheng Yue's tone was calm, "Let Su Liang come out. I know she is nearby. If she doesn't come out, just wait to collect Lin Jingyun's body."
"Why...why do you do such a harmful thing? Donor Su is a good person. She has excellent medical skills and has saved many people. She has never hurt others for no reason! If there is any misunderstanding, you can explain it clearly. You are wrong to do this. Don't do it again.
You are wrong!" Cheng Yun was still the little monk who believed in the goodness of human nature, and he actually started to persuade Sheng Yue and Pucheng.
Sheng Yue suddenly turned around and said, "Go outside. There is something weird in this room. If Su Liang doesn't come out within a quarter of an hour, I will throw the child into the freezing lake below." The words came out of the open window.
Flying out.
Pucheng took another deep look at Chengyun and said, "Please call Su Liang out quickly. What happened tonight has nothing to do with you and is not something you can solve." After saying that, he turned around to go out.
Chengyun's face darkened, these people were here to harm Su Liang, and he couldn't let Su Liang come out! So, he rushed forward with a long stick in hand.
Half of Pucheng's body had gone out of the window, and half of his body was still inside. Lin Jingyun's cries and Sheng Yue's threats echoed in Chengyun's ears, and in his mind was Su Liang's trusting and gentle gaze when he asked him to go up with a stick.
, beat Pucheng back to the room!
Pucheng thought he knew Chengyun very well and did not expect that he would suddenly attack. Because Chengyun had been a diligent martial arts practitioner since he was a child but was never willing to use martial arts to attack others. Even if he was bullied, he would not fight back.
Don't talk about hitting people on your own initiative.
Pucheng thought he knew everything that happened between Chengyun and Su Liang, but in fact Chengyun already had a secret in front of him. That time, the Wan family of the first empress Qianguo captured Bai Xiaohu from Sujiacun and threatened Su Liang.
, Su Liang asked Chengyun for help, Chengyun watched helplessly as Su Liang beat the bad guy into the well, and learned that the man was dead the next day.
This was a killing that was hard for Cheng Yun to accept, but Su Liang advised him not to think so. A bad person deserves to die early and be reborn.
Although Cheng Yun did not agree with Su Liang's theory of "early death and early rebirth", he did not mention that matter to anyone else, including his master and uncle. Because he promised Su Liang not to tell others, no one would
I didn’t say anything, I just confessed in front of Buddha for a long time.
If Pucheng knew that Chengyun had indirectly killed someone, he would definitely have a new understanding of him, and he would also have a better understanding of how much influence Su Liang had on him, and how much he trusted Su Liang.
And at the beginning of their acquaintance, the real intersection was when Chengyun, Su Liang and Gu Ling rescued Zheng'er who was kidnapped on a rainy day. They have one thing in common, they like children and have stronger protection for children.
At the same time, he is even more disgusted with people who take children as hostages.
And the fact that Pucheng and Sheng Yue arrested Lin Jingyun, for Chengyun, touched his negative scale.
Pucheng was unprepared for Chengyun, and after being beaten back to the room, he didn't want to fight Chengyun, so he just tried to leave with a feint.
But Chengyun's plan is to capture Pucheng in exchange for Lin Jingyun, so that Su Liang doesn't have to be in danger. How can he let Pucheng leave so easily?
Pucheng didn't want to fight because he was afraid that Chengyun would recognize him from the moves, and he was also afraid of hurting Chengyun.
But Cheng Yun was determined to capture him. He turned around and moved his stick horizontally, blocking him between the door and the window.
When Su Liang came out of the underground secret room, he heard the sounds of fighting upstairs, but did not hear the child's cry. Because Sheng Yue was standing by the lake holding Lin Jingyun, waiting for Pucheng to come out.
Su Liang held the nail gun in her hand, and the cold touch made her very awake. She leaned against the wall and walked upstairs quietly.
There were no lights in Yuanming Pavilion, and the noise of fighting on the second floor became louder and louder. Chengyun's stick hit Gu Ling's favorite vase, and it fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
The door to Su Liang's room was ajar. She gently pushed it open and saw Cheng Yun's bald head at first sight, moving quickly in the room. As for the person who was fighting with Cheng Yun, it was just a black shadow.
The identity could not be identified, but it was certain that it was not Sheng Yue. Because Su Liang saw that both of the man's hands were intact.
This made Su Liang a little confused: it was not Sheng Yue, and there was only one person... different from what she had guessed.
But that wasn't important. Su Liang raised the nail gun, held his breath and aimed the gun at the man's chest.
A moment later, Chengyun saw that the person he was fighting suddenly swayed, staggered two steps, covered his chest with one hand, and looked towards the door.
Chengyun took the opportunity to hit the man in the knee with a stick!
Su Liang opened the door and was about to take another shot when Cheng Yun stopped him, "Don't kill him! They captured Xiao Jingyun by the lake!"
Su Liang's expression changed suddenly. He actually had an accomplice outside?
Pucheng's chest was penetrated, and he felt that the wound was numb and poisonous! He tried his best to leave, but Chengyun wouldn't let him go at all. At the same time, he also told Su Liang, "Go back and hide, don't come out! I'll take him and exchange for Xiaojing."
cloud!"
Su Liang heard this, raised his gun again, and shot Pucheng in the thigh. He tilted his body and knelt on the ground!
Su Liang walked over and Chengyun frowned, "Go back quickly, I can handle it."
Su Liang shook his head slightly, stepped forward and pulled off the mask on Pucheng's face. It was a strange and ordinary face. Sheng Yue disguised Pucheng just in case.
"Are you a subordinate of Sheng Yue?" Su Liang asked coldly. She and Chengyun didn't think about Pucheng at all, so they didn't suspect that this man was disguised at this moment.
Pucheng nodded with an ugly face, "Yes."
"That's useless. It's impossible for Sheng Yue to compromise for a subordinate." Su Liang snorted coldly.
Pucheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I am his father."
Su Liang was stunned and looked at Chengyun, "In this case, you take him to replace him."
Chengyun nodded and saw Su Liang hand over the sword. He hesitated for a moment, then took it, grabbed Pucheng and put the sword on his neck, "Let's go!"
Su Liang watched Cheng Yun and Pucheng go out and go downstairs. She didn't go back to the secret room. She turned around and saw a dark figure standing by the lake. It must be Sheng Yue. Sheng Yue has a father, and this is Lian Minrou.
Something that no one knows. Min Rou said that Sheng Yue was an orphan taken in by Xingluo Island. It seems that Sheng Yue still has many secrets.
…
Sheng Yue watched Chengyun holding Pucheng hostage as he walked out of Yuanming Pavilion, his eyes still calm, Lin Jingyun in his arms cried and fell asleep.
"He said it was your father." Chengyun said coldly, "Let the child go, and I will let him go."
Sheng Yue asked, "Are you a monk? Are you going to kill my father?"
Chengyun's face stiffened, "I...I am a monk. If you dare to hurt Xiao Jingyun, you are not a human being!"
Pucheng looked at Chengyun with complicated eyes. This child had changed a long time ago, but he didn't notice it. This was the main reason why he failed tonight. Chengyun didn't become bad, he just became bloody.
Sheng Yue nodded, "Okay. Let's change people." After saying this, he walked towards Chengyun.
Chengyun's eyes were wary, and Sheng Yue quickly approached and handed over the child in his arms.
Chengyun held a sword in one hand and went to pick up the child with the other, but Pucheng was pulled away by Sheng Yue.
The situation did not turn around as Su Liang was worried about, because Sheng Yue took Pucheng in his arms and left immediately.
Su Liang, who had been watching in the dark, chased them out and fired a few more shots at the two of them. However, the range of the nail gun was limited, and Sheng Yue was aware of it and missed. He looked back at Su Liang and said,
His eyes were deep, and then he withdrew his gaze and disappeared into the woods with Pucheng.
"Look, is Xiao Jingyun okay? Why isn't he crying?" Chengyun looked nervous and had already thrown away the sword in his hand.
Su Liang looked at the child and shook his head, "It's okay, he just fell asleep. We have to send him back... No, let him stay first. I'll ask Qi Yan to inform the Lin family."
Just as he was talking, Qi Yan ran over, flanked by Lin Bojun who looked anxious, "Xiao Liang, Jing Yun has been stolen!"
…
The lights came on in Yuanming Pavilion, and Su Liang took the three children out of the secret room. It was already late at night.
Lin Jingyun was taken away by Lin Bojun. Su Liang expressed his apology, but Lin Bojun said that it was not her fault. Since he knew that someone was behind the scenes, he would carefully protect his family and come back to Su Liang tomorrow.
Let’s talk about what happened tonight.
"Are you not injured?" Su Liang asked Chengyun.
Chengyun shook his head, "I'm fine. Why did those people want to arrest you?"
"To kill me." Su Liang said.
Chengyun frowned, "Bad guy."
The two children nodded in unison, "Big bad guy!"
Ji Xiaoshu looked angry, "Damn it! You actually arrested the third junior brother! The third junior brother is so good!"
"That's it! It's so bad!" Zheng'er said, waving his little fist.
"You two go back to your room to sleep first." Su Liang pulled them up, "I have something to tell you, Uncle Chengyun."
After the two children left, Su Liang sighed slightly, "Thanks to you being here tonight, otherwise I would have been arrested."
Chengyun nodded, but said nothing. He stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Su Liang asked.
"The person who fought against me..." Cheng Yun frowned.
"Do you know him?" Su Liang was surprised.
Chengyun shook his head, "No...his moves are a bit familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere."
Su Liang's eyes narrowed, "There aren't many people who have fought against you."
"Probably not, it's my imagination... it's a coincidence." Chengyun shook his head repeatedly.
Su Liang's heart moved, "Don't tell me that the moves you think are familiar come from your uncle?" Su Liang knew Chengyun. He was a strong martial artist, but back then he was a little fool who would rather be beaten by the crowd than fight back when he was standing on the street.
Only by following her did he do some things that were out of the ordinary for a monk, and nothing else. What made Chengyun so entangled and denied his feelings must not be an illusion or a coincidence.
And Su Liang suddenly thought that Chengyun's uncle left without saying goodbye during the day, and that the monk Pucheng who obviously had a story overlapped with the face of Sheng Yue's father that Su Liang saw tonight... With those eyes, he looked at Chengyun
The look in Yun's eyes is him!
It was dark before, and Su Liang was highly focused on staring at Sheng Yue. He saw certain things, but he passed them through his mind without having time to think about them. Now he has regained his memory.
Chengyun's expression turned ugly, "That's not my uncle. My uncle has no hair, no son, and he's not a bad person."
"Do you know everything about his past?" Su Liang asked.
Chengyun nodded, "He said someone killed his wife, and he became a monk out of frustration."
"Since we have a wife, we may have a son." Su Liang asked Chengyun to tell her everything about tonight, including what they said.
Chengyun started talking when she saw someone coming out of the woods and continued until Su Liang appeared. She knew everything that happened next.
After hearing this, Su Liang was even more certain that the man who claimed to be Sheng Yue's father must be Pucheng.
Chengyun was among them and did not want to believe that his uncle was not a good person, but Su Liang could tell from what Chengyun said that the two men were very polite to Chengyun and did not want to fight with him. Moreover, Shengyue's father also
He said to Chengyun, "Tonight's matter has nothing to do with him." This was obviously to let Chengyun stay out of the matter, not to ruin their affairs, and not to get involved and make things difficult for them.
There was no light at the time, so Su Liang saw the man's face through the moonlight without looking closely, so no traces of disguise were found. However, Sheng Yue knew the art of disguise and wanted to disguise Pucheng as having nothing to do with the monk. It was perfectly fine.
Do it.
"You...you really think that's my uncle?" Cheng Yun looked in disbelief.
Su Liang nodded, "That's what I think. No one else should behave like that. Maybe your uncle lied to you to come to me today, and he took the opportunity to leave. He didn't expect that I would let you live at home."
"My uncle...why would he do such a thing? He is not that kind of person!" Cheng Yun still refused to believe it.
"Why else, of course it's for his son." Su Liang snorted, "Maybe he is not bad in nature, but some people will do anything for their children. At that time, someone was replaced, and with Sheng Yue's ability,
I have the opportunity to kill you and continue to threaten me with Jingyun. If it's not you who fights them tonight, they will not be so merciful. It's not that they failed completely, but they gave up temporarily because of you."
After Su Liang finished speaking, looking at Cheng Yun's expression, it was clear that he was a little broken. For the moment, he simply couldn't accept that the person who could do such evil things was actually Pucheng, whom he regarded as his father.
Su Liang looked at Chengyun and remembered what Pucheng said about his life experience: the orphan of a good friend.
There is a joke in the past life - I had a friend... Su Liang even began to wonder at this moment, could Chengyun also be Pucheng's son? Although there is no obvious similarity in the appearance of the two, Pucheng really cares.
Chengyun.
Su Liang didn't say it out loud, maybe because she was overthinking it and didn't want to irritate Chengyun again at this time. But she still kept this guess in her heart.
"At least they won't come again tonight. You go and have a rest first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Su Liang patted Chengyun's shoulder lightly.
Chengyun walked out in a daze. After taking two steps, he tripped over his stick and almost fell. After standing still, he turned back and asked Su Liang, "Xiao Nuannuan...she wasn't frightened, was she?"
Su Liang smiled and said, "It's okay, she doesn't know anything, she sleeps like a pig, heartless."
"Heartless...there's nothing wrong with that." Chengyun walked out with a bitter look on his face, and didn't go back to the room. He sat in the small hall again and looked out the window.
Su Liang sighed, closed the door, returned to the bed, looked at Gu Xiaonuan, and let out a long sigh of relief.
…
The moon and stars were sparse, and the wind sounded desolately in the woods outside the city.
Sheng Yue took out the two nails from Pucheng's body and gave him antidote.
Pucheng was sitting next to a big tree, his face pale.
Sheng Yue sat down next to him and asked in a calm voice, "Father, are you helping me tonight?"
Pucheng's tone was also bad, "Then what do you want me to do? Kill your brother?"
"Brother..." Sheng Yue snorted, "It seems that he is not the innocent and stupid boy his father said. If I wanted to kill him, I could have done it at the time, but I gave up. Coupled with tonight's failure, my father owes me
I've done it twice. If you don't take action, Gu Ling will come back."
