It is already winter in the capital city, but the city of Kasyapa in the south is still as warm as spring.
Gu Ling and Cen Man traveled quickly on the sea, taking turns driving the boat, almost never stopping, and finally landed near Nanshan City in the evening and returned to the land again.
Although Gu Ling was in a hurry to go home, he still went to Kasyapa City first.
It was already night when I saw Lin Wei.
The Lin family had already moved to the capital and settled down. Previously, Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu were living in the Lin family. Now that Yan Yu was pregnant, Nian Jincheng took her back to the capital.
In the huge Lin Mansion, only Lin Wei and a few servants were left.
Lin Xian was having dinner alone. The big round table used to be filled with a lively family, but now it was extremely deserted.
Suddenly seeing Gu Ling appear in front of him, Lin Wei blinked, "Is it because I am so lonely that I am hallucinating? Why did I see Gu Xiaoling? I am obviously missing Su Xiaoliang..."
Gu Ling looked calm and walked over to sit down. There was no empty bowl on the table, so he directly brought the soup cup over and drank the soup with the soup spoon.
The smile on Lin Yan's face instantly widened, "Gu Xiaoling, you are really back! Great! I miss you so much! Why is it just you? Where is Qiu Xiaojing? Aren't you going to save people? Where's Yuan Ying?
?”
It wasn't Yuan Xiaoying, because when Lin Yan said the last sentence, he suddenly became nervous. There had been no news from Yuan Ying. He was very worried and had some pessimistic thoughts, although he always stopped them in time and did not dare to think too much.
, comforting myself that nothing can happen to Yuan Ying.
"Alive." Gu Ling said concisely and to the point.
Lin Wei also came to life in an instant, feeling relaxed all over. The boulder pressing on his heart turned into smoke and disappeared, and his eyes brightened, "Where are they?"
"In the back." Gu Ling said.
"Is everyone okay?" Lin Wei couldn't help but confirm again.
Gu Ling nodded slightly and gave him a reassurance.
Lin Wei stood up happily and said, "That's great, great! I knew if you took action personally, there would be no problem!" He said this sincerely, but he had confidence in Gu Ling and cared about him.
Chaos is not conflict.
Lin Xi didn't eat a few mouthfuls of rice and wasn't hungry, so he brought his bowl and chopsticks to Gu Ling. Then he stood behind Gu Ling and squeezed his shoulders, "Gu Xiaoling, thank you for your hard work!"
Lin Xin's tactics were terrible, but Gu Ling didn't mind it, knowing that he was just too excited.
After eating, Gu Ling put down his chopsticks and briefly told Lin Wei what happened.
Lin Xin listened quietly until he heard that Gu Ling rescued Lao Mu and the two of them escaped smoothly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It was so thrilling! Gu Xiaoling, you are so amazing! No wonder Su Xiaoliang always calls you a great god.
, worthy of the name.”
Then Gu Ling mentioned the situation of the Yuan Ying siblings.
Lin Yi was stunned, "She... lost her memory?"
Gu Ling nodded, "I have been drugged and amnesia, and we haven't found a way to recover it yet." This is about him and Su Liang. Because of Lin Shan's amnesia, the couple had studied how to solve it, but to no avail. He believed that Su Liang
Won't give up.
Lin Wei also remembered his sister's amnesia, sighed, and then laughed again, "It doesn't matter, as long as everything is fine."
"Qiu Jing has already told her a lot of things." Gu Ling said.
Lin Yi looked confused, "Qiu Jing..."
Gu Ling knew what he was thinking, "What you are worried about will not happen. Qiu Jing has fallen in love with another girl."
Lin Yi looked surprised, "Who is it?"
"Min Rou." Gu Ling said. Relationships are based on getting along. Lin Xian and Yuan Ying spent some time together and fell in love with each other, but Qiu Jing met Min Rou first, and Qiu Cong kept whispering in his ears.
As he was chanting, his thoughts began to change.
"That's it." Lin Yi chuckled, "Very good, very good!"
"Sheng Yue may have gone to the capital. I'll leave tonight. Qiu Jing will arrive in about three to five days. I told him what he was going to do. You prepare first." Gu Ling told Lin what he had to say to Qiu Jing.
He told it once.
Lin Wei's expression became serious, "I understand. Don't worry, I will make arrangements after you leave tonight. I have been worried about having nothing to do lately. No matter how good those scum are in martial arts, as long as they are not allowed to go ashore, let's see what else they can do!"
Cen Man walked in from outside, and she had just found a place to wash up.
Lin Xian quickly asked her servants to prepare hot soup and rice. After Cen Man finished eating, she and Gu Ling left Kasyapa City and continued on their way back to Beijing.
That night, Lin Xi didn't sleep and started arranging the things Gu Ling had told her.
…
Beijing, Su Mansion.
As night fell, Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu carried Gu Xiaonuan into the underground secret room after dinner.
"Don't worry, Master, we will take good care of my sister! Master and Uncle Chengyun should be careful!" Ji Xiaoshu was always very well-behaved in front of Su Liang.
Su Liang smiled and said, "Go ahead. We'll be fine." Then she watched the three children walk into the secret room.
After a while, Nangong Qian and Qiu Yue also entered the secret room.
Nian Ruxue's hands were tied with ropes, and she was pulled over by Lonicera. The wounds on her face were only briefly stopped from bleeding, but they were still bright red. As soon as she entered the door, she looked at Su Liang with deep hatred in her eyes.
In an instant, she changed into a pitiful look.
Su Liang withdrew her gaze. Nian Ruxue was holding Yan Shiba's face. It was just that she didn't know it before, but now that she looks at it again, it always feels weird.
"What are you going to do?" Nian Ruxue asked.
Su Liang glanced at him, Ling Dong raised his hand and knocked Nian Ruxue unconscious. She didn't need to know what happened next. She wanted to use her, but she was dispensable in Su Liang's plan, but she couldn't.
Let her stay alone to prevent Sheng Yue from taking her away again.
"Is he okay?" Qiu Cong looked at Chengyun.
Chengyun frowned when he heard this, but didn't say anything. Indeed, he felt a little uneasy, because what he was going to do next was something he had never done before, and it was in great conflict with his personality and was difficult.
Su Liang smiled and said only two words, "Of course."
Chengyun's confidence instantly doubled. Su Liang trusted him so much, and he couldn't let him down.
"Master, let me pretend to be you, I know what to do." Lonicera spoke with a serious expression. This was the third time she mentioned this matter today.
Qi Jun nodded, "This is safer. Even if they are discovered later, they probably won't do anything to Lonicera. If they are not discovered, then everything will be fine."
Qiu Cong agreed, "Xiao Liang, you'd better hide, we will protect Lonicera."
As Qi Jun said, it was not about letting Lonicera to block Su Liang's gun, it was just a strategy so that he could have greater initiative.
When Su Liang first met Liandong, it was Duanmu Yi who arranged for Liandong to be her substitute. The two were very similar in stature.
But Su Liang still refused, "No need tonight, I know better."
Seeing her persistence, Rendong and the others had no choice but to give up.
…
When it was approaching midnight, the lamps were lit in Su Liang's room and the lamps were also lit in Chengyun's room. One was reading a medical book and the other was reading a Buddhist scripture.
Although Gu Xiaonuan was fast asleep at this time in the past, Su Liang was not used to her absence at this time. When Gu Ling was not around, Su Liang transferred part of her longing for him to Gu Xiaonuan. Every day
Looking at my daughter's little face, I always seem to be seeing Gu Ling.
Su Liang looked at the piece of paper she put on the table to calculate the time. According to her estimation, Gu Ling should have been on her way back to the capital from Kasyapa City. When Gu Ling went to Xingluo Island, if she found that Sheng Yue was not there,
You can definitely guess that Sheng Yue is coming to the capital.
Although Cheng Yun was holding a Buddhist scripture, he was actually talking to himself, his voice was very low. Occasionally his eyes would suddenly become cold, and he would find a mirror to look at. He was practicing acting and reviewing what Su Liang taught him.
Pucheng and Sheng Yue and his son came out of the woods again and were immediately discovered by Qi Jun. Qi Jun shook the wind chime on the Yuanming Pavilion to warn.
Su Liang put down the medical book in his hand, and Cheng Yun also stood up with a serious expression, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and then quickly released them.
However, Pucheng and Shengyue did not approach Yuanming Pavilion and stopped by the lake.
After what happened last night, the two parties already have some "tacit understanding".
Not long after, Su Liang walked out of Yuanming Pavilion and appeared in the sight of Pucheng and Sheng Yue, with Qiu Cong beside him.
Seeing Sheng Yue holding something in his arms, Su Liang's eyes turned cold. As expected, they captured another child.
Sheng Yue seemed to know what Su Liang would ask. Seeing Su Liang stop five meters away, Sheng Yue said three words, "Duanmuzhen, your adopted daughter."
The daughter of Duanmu Chen and Situ Yao, now the only little princess in the royal family, has been raised in the Queen Mother Xiao's Palace.
Su Liang thought that Sheng Yue captured Duanmuzhen tonight because he wanted to tell her that they could come and go freely in the palace and it would be easy to kill Duanmuzhen.
Duanmuzhen made no sound in Sheng Yue's arms, she must have fallen asleep.
Su Liang looked calm, "What do you want? Just tell me."
"You come with us. I won't touch anyone else." Sheng Yue's tone was also very calm.
"Why?" Su Liang asked.
"You will know, but not now." Sheng Yue said, "At the moment, you just need to make the right choice."
"Really? Why is following you the right choice?" Su Liang asked.
"Because you are a good person." Sheng Yue was very direct.
"Would you really kill an innocent child?" Su Liang asked.
Sheng Yue did not hesitate, "This is a world where the jungle prevails. I am not a good person. I have something to do and I will do it at any cost."
"Including your father's life?" Su Liang snorted coldly, "What if I say, if you kill Pucheng, I will go with you?"
Pucheng, who was wearing a wig and mask, looked stiff. Unexpectedly, Su Liang had recognized him and said it so calmly! So, does Chengyun know?
Su Liang didn't wait for Sheng Yue to answer and looked at Pucheng, "Yes, I guessed it was you last night because there were too many coincidences. You shouldn't have let Cheng Yun come to my house yesterday."
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in Pucheng denying it anymore. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I think you might be able to understand me. Ah Yue is my child after all."
"It's understandable, but unacceptable." Su Liang said coldly, "I guess Chengyun is also your child, right? Why do you have a deceased friend? That friend should be you."
Pucheng's eyes suddenly changed, and Sheng Yue's eyes narrowed. Su Liang guessed that it was Pucheng last night. He was not surprised, but Su Liang actually guessed Chengyun's life experience!
"You...he's not..." Pucheng's tone already indicated that Su Liang had guessed correctly.
"Dare you give birth or not?" Su Liang said in a mocking tone, "Send one of your biological sons to Xingluo Island and the other to become a monk, and then you travel all over the world. I really can't understand your deep love for your deceased wife.
, if she has a spirit in heaven, she will probably regret marrying you when she sees how her two sons are doing now. She cares about the children but not the upbringing. When her sons make mistakes, they not only fail to discipline them but also help them to do harm! What is an irresponsible husband and father pretending to be?
Love Saint? Extremely ridiculous!”
"Shut up!" Pucheng threw away his mask, revealing his disguised face with an excited expression, "You don't know anything at all! Why do you say that?"
"Just because you planned to entrust your younger son to my care during the day yesterday, and then helped your older son to harm me at night!" Su Liang said coldly, "You don't even want to lose face, can't you stand me telling the truth?
Pucheng, what do I owe you and why should I be treated like this? Sheng Yue is your son. You have difficulties and you want to help him. You also say that I should be able to understand you? Then could it be that I killed your ancestors in my previous life for eighteen generations?
Do I know such a disgusting and shameless person like you in this life?"
"Your grandpa killed my mother." Sheng Yue spoke, as if to explain the rationality of Pucheng's treatment of Su Liang.
Su Liang sneered, "That's so funny! Mo Yan killed your mother, so you serve Mo Yan as your master and help him kill me? I have to doubt that I am not his granddaughter, you are his relative
grandson!"
Sheng Yue frowned, regretting what he just said, but he was not disturbed. He looked at Pucheng and saw his chest rising and falling, obviously stimulated by Su Liang's words.
"Father, calm down." Sheng Yue reminded Pucheng.
Pucheng took a deep breath, and at this moment, a bald head rushed out from Yuanming Pavilion.
Chengyun arrived at Su Liang at an extremely fast speed and looked at her in disbelief, "What did you just say? I am his son? This is impossible!"
Su Liang frowned, "Since you heard it all, it's what you heard. They didn't deny it, so I guessed it right. I wanted to tell you this during the day, but you locked yourself up today, and I didn't want to irritate you.
you……"
Chengyun turned to look at Pucheng and asked the angriest question in his life, "Why?"
Pucheng, who had just tried to calm down, couldn't hold back anymore when he saw Chengyun, "Yun'er, I'm sorry... I will explain it to you. You have to believe that I care about you... I swear
!”
Cheng Yun was so angry that his whole body trembled, "You care about me? You asked me to seek refuge with Su Liang, and then you came to harm her? How do you want me to deal with myself? It's so ridiculous... all of this is so ridiculous!"
Su Liang held Cheng Yun's shoulders and said, "Calm down. Go in first, you have nothing to do with them."
"No, it doesn't matter!" Cheng Yun pushed Su Liang away, pulled out the long sword from her waist, put it on his neck, looked at Pucheng with cold eyes, "I am your son, you
Are you saying you care about me? Let that child go, or I will kill myself! I thought you were the most important person in my life, just like my father, but I didn’t expect you to be my father! But such a father
To me, my brother and I are a great shame!"
"Yun'er doesn't want it!" Pucheng's expression changed drastically, "Don't hurt yourself. If you have anything to say, please speak up. I will explain everything to you!"
Su Liang went to snatch the sword from Cheng Yun's hand, "Stop making trouble! What I said has nothing to do with you!"
However, Cheng Yun avoided Su Liang and walked towards Pucheng and Sheng Yue with a determined expression, "I say it again, let that child go immediately, otherwise I will commit suicide!"
"Okay, okay!" Pucheng looked nervous, "Ayue, put that child down quickly, put it on the ground, let's go!"
Sheng Yue didn't move, and stared at Cheng Yun, "Father, this is Su Liang's trap. He is taking advantage of his younger brother."
"Yun'er will really commit suicide!" Pucheng said, reaching out to take Duanmuzhen away.
Sheng Yue stepped aside to avoid it, but Pucheng suddenly pulled off his prosthetic hand and snatched the child away!
"Yun'er! Yun'er, look, I let this child go, put down the sword quickly! Don't be impulsive!" Pucheng hugged Duanmuzhen and took two steps forward.
The moment Sheng Yue dropped his prosthetic hand and the child was taken away, he immediately turned around and rushed into the woods as fast as possible.
Brothers Qi Yan and Qi Jun who were ambushing nearby raised their guns and shot Sheng Yue, but he was invulnerable and ran away in the end.
Su Liang did not let him chase. She admired Sheng Yue's extreme calmness and analysis of the situation. Pucheng fell into the trap, but Sheng Yue quickly realized that this was a trap prepared by Su Liang for them. After discovering that Pucheng lost control of his emotions,
He decisively gave up on him and ran away.
However, Pucheng had not yet noticed that Sheng Yue had left at this time, and he was still urging Chengyun to put down his sword and not do anything stupid.
The two of them approached, Chengyun caught Duanmuzhen handed over by Pucheng with one hand, and turned the long sword in the other hand and placed it on Pucheng's neck.
Pucheng's expression froze, "Yun'er... what are you doing?"
Chengyun, who had looked decisive just now, looked very calm now, "As you wish, I have returned to secular life. Su Liang is my sister, but you are not my father, and I don't need such a father."
"You...were you just pretending?" Pucheng looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He never expected that his son, who was innocent and a little silly in his eyes, would undergo earth-shaking changes overnight.
"It's all thanks to you." Su Liang came over, took Duanmuzhen over, and pulled back the quilt. The little girl was sleeping soundly.
"You..." Pucheng gritted his teeth, "Ah Yue!" When he turned around, he found that there was nothing behind him, and there was no sign of Sheng Yue anywhere.
"Your eldest son is not like you who is a bitch and wants to build a memorial arch. He is much more awake than you. He knew that you were useless, so he ran away on his own." Su Liang said, "He broke a hand, and he didn't
Other helpers can't do anything to me for the time being."
This is Su Liang's plan tonight: use Chengyun to drive a wedge between Pucheng and Shengyue.
With Sheng Yue's strength, it would be difficult to take him down. Sheng Yue's biggest problem now is that his broken hand makes him less powerful and inconvenient. And with Sheng Yue's caution, before there is new help, there is no way to win.
Will show up easily again. It can be said that the crisis is temporarily lifted.
And leaving Pucheng behind, Su Liang can then find a way to find out from him about his deceased wife, as well as the purpose of Sheng Yue and Mo Yan. In this way, she and Gu Ling's biggest question can be solved: Mo Yan
What exactly does Yan want to do with the time traveler?
"Yun'er..." Pucheng looked at Chengyun, his eyes filled with water.
Cheng Yun didn't take back his sword, Qiu Cong came over to take it.
Chengyun turned around with an indifferent expression, "I'll go pick up the children."
