Early in the morning, Gu Ling went to the dungeon with the truth serum he made last night.
Nangong Lin and Nian Ruxue were both still asleep, and the dungeon was very quiet.
Gu Ling walked up to Nangong Lin and kicked him. He woke up suddenly, and the chains on his body made a crisp impact. He raised his head and looked at Gu Ling with wide eyes, "You... what are you doing here?"
Gu Ling leaned over and pinched Nangong Lin's chin, "If you have some good medicine, please try it, master."
Nangong Lin's face froze. The medicine had already entered his mouth. He tried hard to spit it out, but Gu Ling had forced his mouth shut, and the medicine quickly melted into his mouth.
Previously, Su Liang and Gu Ling were testing the medicines in the Thousand Poison Recipes, and asked Nangong Lin to test the medicines several times. There were many poisons that tortured the human body. Although they all had matching antidotes, the process was painful enough.
But this time, Nangong Lin resisted but did not feel much pain.
"How do you feel?" Gu Ling asked.
Nangong Lin snorted coldly and said nothing. He only felt a slight sting in his head, but it was still within the tolerable range.
After a while, Nangong Lin felt a little dizzy and his eyes were blurred. He thought he had been drugged, and he was still thinking that he couldn't refuse anyway, as long as it didn't hurt...
When Nangong Lin's eyes fell on Gu Ling again, he murmured, "Ling'er..."
Gu Ling thought this was the effect of the medicine, so he asked Nangong Lin, "How did my father die?"
Nangong Lin murmured, "It was me... I instigated him to rebel... and I told the Emperor Qian..."
"Do you love my mother?" Gu Ling asked.
Nangong Lin shook his head slightly, "I hate her... hate that she didn't choose me..."
"What else are you hiding from me?" Gu Ling asked again.
Nangong Lin tilted his head to the side slightly, as if thinking, "There is one thing... Yue Mei said, Mo Yan has a magic weapon, which is very powerful..."
"What else?" Gu Ling asked.
"No more." Nangong Lin shook his head slightly, his body began to tremble violently, and his eyes rolled up.
Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took hold of Nangong Lin's pulse and found that it was beating rapidly.
A moment later, Nangong Lin vomited a mouthful of blood, stiffened, died, and fell to the ground.
Gu Ling reached out and felt his breath. He was dead.
Nian Ruxue had already woken up at this time. She was watching the activities here silently, but she found that Nangong Lin had been poisoned to death. She couldn't help but scream and shrank into a corner. She was not feeling sad for Nangong Lin, because
She didn't know each other before. She just suddenly realized that Yue Mei was dead, Sheng Yue was gone, and now Nangong Lin was also dead. She was the only one left in the dungeon. Whatever poisons came next, they would all be directed at her.
…
Gu Ling directly untied Nangong Lin's chains, pulled him up and dragged him out, so that Qi Yan would not have to come in to clean up again, and he also wanted Su Liang to see the cause of Nangong Lin's death.
After Gu Ling dragged the body out, the dungeon became quiet again. Nian Ruxue looked around. It was not cold, but she was frightened because of fear. Her teeth were chattering. As if she suddenly reacted, she shouted, "Gu
Ling...Gu Ling, please let me out!"
Of course no one would respond. Nian Ruxue's cries echoed in the dungeon. She began to confess to the air the mistakes she had made in the past, becoming more pious than before...
Gu Ling went to the kitchen to wash up before returning to Yuanming Pavilion. He saw Zheng'er holding a small bowl and feeding Gu Xiaonuan complementary food. Next to him, Ji Xiaoshu was nestling next to Su Liang and talking. Wen Ming and Lao Bai hadn't gotten up yet.
I have been too tired recently and slept late last night.
When Gu Xiaonuan saw Gu Ling come in, she called "Dad" sweetly.
Gu Ling lowered his head, kissed Gu Xiaonuan's forehead, sat next to Su Liang, and hugged Ji Xiaoshu who was leaning against Su Liang.
Ji Xiaoshu sat on Gu Ling's lap and smiled, "Master, you just want to hug me!"
"How is it?" Su Liang asked, "How does the medicine work?"
Ji Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, "Yes, Master! Didn't you go find the bad guy to try the truth serum? How was the effect?"
Zheng'er also looked at Gu Ling curiously.
Gu Ling nodded, "The medicine is very effective. After taking it, I will soon tell you what I know honestly. I can't lie."
"Wow! It's so amazing!" Ji Xiaoshu exclaimed, "Master's wife is so amazing, isn't she?"
Su Liang noticed from Gu Ling's tone that he still had something to say, so he asked, "Are there any side effects?"
"It's okay if it has side effects. It's for bad guys anyway." Ji Xiaoshu said.
Gu Ling nodded, "A little bit."
"What's the point?" Su Liang told Gu Ling not to be too pretentious.
"It's a bit poisonous." Gu Ling said, "Nangong Lin is dead."
Su Liang was stunned.
Ji Xiaoshu blinked, "Sending the bad guy to see the King of Hell as soon as possible is also a kind of meritorious deed."
"He's actually dead?" Su Liang stood up, "I'll go take a look." The final prescription was agreed upon by Wen Ming and Lao Bai. Su Liang saw that it was a bit poisonous at the time, but he didn't expect it to be so poisonous...
Ji Xiaoshu also wanted to go, but when he got to the door, he was thrown back by Gu Ling, telling Zheng'er to keep an eye on him.
"Xiaoshu, don't make trouble. What's so good about a dead villain?" Zheng'er put down the bowl and grabbed Ji Xiaoshu.
"Master, are you afraid of scaring me? I'm not afraid." Ji Xiaoshu shook his head.
"Children will have nightmares when they see that kind of thing." He said seriously.
"Okay." Ji Xiaoshu nodded, and then ran out as fast as Zheng'er let go of him.
It’s really hard to be the eldest brother!
At this time, Su Liang had already seen Nangong Lin, who was thrown under a big tree by Gu Ling. His face was blue and purple, and his eyes were still open. It could be seen that he was not very scared before he died, probably because the truth serum still controlled him.
's brain.
"Master is indeed very bold in using medicine." Su Liang said while checking, "Some of them are not usually used at the same time." Especially Lao Bai, as the Poison King, he likes to use some poisonous medicinal materials.
Su Liang confirmed that the cause of Nangong Lin's death was cardiac arrest, which must have been caused by the drug being too stimulating.
Ji Xiaoshu, who was sneaking over, heard Gu Ling say that if he took one more step forward, he would be punished by copying a hundred words before he got close. He immediately turned around and ran away, muttering as he ran, "Why can master punish me?"
So, when Gu Ling and Su Liang returned to Yuanming Pavilion, Ji Xiaoshu asked, "Master, if the master proposes unreasonable punishment to us, can we refuse? I think there must be at least a supervision mechanism, and we cannot just say what the master says.
, this is autocratic hegemony!”
Su Liang laughed when he heard it, "What Xiaoshu said makes sense." He already had democratic thinking.
"Besides, master teaches us martial arts, why should he punish us for writing? Senior brother, are you right?" Ji Xiaoshu pulled Zheng'er into an ally.
Zheng'er pretended not to hear.
"You're right." Gu Ling nodded slightly, "If you don't obey me today, you will be punished by running three laps."
Ji Xiaoshu was dumbfounded, "What should I do if I don't agree? Does the teacher think it's reasonable?"
Su Liang smiled and rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head, "Three circles are enough. If you keep making excuses, your master will increase it to ten circles."
Ji Xiaoshu sighed, "My wife is always looking towards the master. I want my father to be my supervisor."
It just so happened that Ji Yuebai came to see her son that day. When Ji Xiaoshu told the whole story, she immediately said that his idea was very good, but at the same time he thought Gu Ling's punishment was also very right: children can be curious, but they have to go and see the corpse.
That's not right.
Ji Xiaoshu, who didn't even see him, had no choice but to accept the penalty and run three laps. Of course, Senior Brother Nuanxin Zheng'er took the initiative to run with him.
After studying the cause of Nangong Lin's death, Lao Bai felt that it was nothing. He was meant to die, and it was easier for him to die so easily. Anyway, the effect of the truth serum was achieved before death.
Wen Ming felt that this was not possible. If truth-truth medicine could make people die so quickly, it would be a failure, because its own purpose might be affected. What if the interrogation takes a long time? What if people need to continue to live?
"It's done, but it still needs some improvement," Su Liang said.
So, they planned to find ways to adjust it based on the original prescription. They had taken some Sheng Yue's blood before, but it hadn't been put to use yet. Wen Ming suggested that it could be added to give it a try, and Lao Bai agreed.
In this way, it was busy until the end of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
The Spring Festival couplets at home were written by the elderly and children together. Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er also wrote couplets for their homes respectively, all of which were their own ideas.
Gu Ling taught the children to cut window grilles, and Ji Xiaoshu couldn't help but admire, "Master is so ingenious!"
On this day, the family was steaming steamed buns, and the children all started to shape them into the shapes they liked. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu also made a bun in the shape of a bunny for Gu Xiaonuan. They thought it was pretty good at first, until they saw Gu Ling casually making steamed buns.
I made another "little bunny", which is exquisite and cute, and completely crushes them.
"Master's rabbit is too dull and not as agile as ours." Ji Xiaoshu comforted Zheng'er.
But when the flower buns were steamed and cooked out of the pot, Gu Ling's little rabbit was lifelike and plump. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu's rabbits were also fat, so fat that their stomachs exploded...
"What if my sister likes us like this?" Ji Xiaoshu said that she is still very cute.
When the two "little rabbits" appeared in front of Gu Xiaonuan, she made the right aesthetic choice without hesitation.
So, Ji Xiaoshu bit off the Explosive Rabbit's head and asked from his soul, "How can I be as clever and clever as Master?"
Su Liang gave him the answer, "Your hands are too small. It will be better if you grow bigger."
Gu Ling then said, "Listen to Master."
Ji Xiaoshu was instantly happy, "Haha! I'm always very obedient, right Master?"
Gu Ling gave him a look and let him feel it for himself.
When the two children brought the flower buns they made by themselves to their home, Ji Yuebai was so moved that she wanted to offer them. Wan Hui and Lu Yu were also very happy, feeling that their children had grown up.
…
It’s New Year’s Eve again.
After the Su Mansion had a lively New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Ling personally sent Ji Xiaoshu back to Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Master, prepare a big red envelope. I'm going to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow!" Ji Xiaoshu waved goodbye to Gu Ling, "Elder brother also wants to give me a red envelope!"
Zheng'er, who was lying on Gu Ling's back, nodded with a smile, "No problem!"
"Xiao Gu, after seeing off Zheng'er and my little darling, why don't we come here to have a few drinks together?" Ji Yuebai warmly invited.
Ji Xiaoshu shook his head, "Dad, this is nonsense. Master must be eager to go back and celebrate the New Year with his wife. Who wants to drink with you?"
Gu Ling nodded, "Farewell."
After sending Zheng'er home, Gu Ling quickly returned to the Su Mansion.
Yuanming Pavilion has become quiet, and Yuanye was taken to Lin Mansion by Lin Wei two days ago to celebrate the New Year.
The children pasted bright red blessing characters on the snow castle by the lake, and hung a string of small red lanterns. They were all lit at this time, making it look like a dream.
Gu Ling went upstairs. The room was warm and warm. Gu Xiaonuan was still awake and was rolling around on the bed. Su Liang was sitting on the edge of the bed to prevent her from falling.
"Xiaoshu's father didn't buy you a drink?" Su Liangxiao asked.
Gu Ling walked over, took off his coat, hugged Su Liang and sat down, "Please, no drink."
Gu Xiaonuan crawled over, and Gu Ling took her into his arms, "Nuan Nuan, do you want to hear a story?"
Gu Xiaonuan nodded, clapped her hands and said, "Story!"
Gu Ling hugged her daughter and leaned on the bed, looked at Su Liang and said, "Tell us a story."
Su Liang looked at the two similar faces, one big and one small, and felt that her heart was full. This was probably the feeling of happiness.
After thinking for a while, Su Liang found that she had basically finished telling Gu Ling the stories she was interested in in her previous life and that she still remembered. "Master, it's up to you to tell one."
Gu Ling held her daughter in one hand and Su Liang in the other. After thinking for a while, she said, "If you didn't come here and I traveled to your world, what kind of encounter would it be like?"
Su Liang became interested as soon as he heard this, "Master, you may be regarded as a crew filming a costume drama and ran out without changing your clothes."
Gu Ling shook his head, "I will soon be found to have no identity, and I have no money."
"If you look too eye-catching, you will be photographed and videoed and posted online. In fact, it is very dangerous. Even Superman had to live a low-key life and hide himself when he arrived on Earth, for fear of being regarded as an alien." Su Liang said.
"I have to find someone to protect me." Gu Ling said, "It's you."
"I can't give you a false identity. I can only make you hide at home." Su Liang said with a smile.
Gu Ling nodded, "That's fine. I'll make breakfast for you every day, take you to work, read books and play games online at home, wait for you to come back, eat and sleep together. It's so comfortable."
Su Liang imagined it for a moment and shook his head slightly, "It would be better for me to come here and be freer." In a legal society with highly developed science and technology, transparency is very high. If a time traveler is discovered, there is a 100% chance that he will be pulled for research, he said.
They might even be dissected. If it were openly publicized here, they would be treated as aliens and burned to death, but after all, they can be hidden.
Gu Ling is a very romantic person and often has some fantastic ideas in his mind. Su Liang just finds this very interesting.
The two of them chatted freely, and even though they had been together for a long time, they still had endless things to say.
Gu Xiaonuan couldn't understand what her father and mother were talking about, so she quickly fell asleep little by little.
I stayed up until midnight, listening to the wind blowing outside, and it seemed like it was starting to snow again.
"It snows on New Year's Eve, which is a good sign." Su Liang said and yawned.
"Go to sleep." Gu Ling hugged Su Liang and lay down, patting her back gently.
"It's a pity that Cheng Yun and Master can't come back to celebrate the New Year... Sheng Yue has almost returned to Xingluo Island..." Su Liang thought drowsily and fell into sleep.
Gu Ling kissed Su Liang's smooth forehead, and secretly vowed in her heart: Next time during the New Year, Su Liang will be carefree. At that time, they can take their children back to Sujiacun and tell them about him.
Those interesting lives with Su Liang...
…
Starfall Island.
In a place that is isolated from the world and has no four seasons, even celebrating the New Year is no fun.
Sheng Yue returned to Xingluo Island on New Year's Eve. His ship was discovered before it even got close. People quickly gathered on the shore and took a defensive posture.
Obviously, this is because of the lessons that Gu Ling and Qiu Jing brought to Xingluo Island when they led troops to kill them, and now the island's vigilance is much higher.
Sheng Yue's subordinates shouted to the shore, "It's Mr. Sheng who is back!"
When the boat docked, no one welcomed Sheng Yue. The guard on the shore told him that he would have to wait for instructions from the island owner before he could go ashore. Please understand.
Sheng Yue completely understood. He had been away for too long this time, and it was impossible for He Wei not to spread the word everywhere that he might be dead or rebel.
However, Sheng Yue is not worried about being directly labeled as a traitor. The situation on Xingluo Island is not good and he is needed.
Sure enough, without waiting too long, He Wei personally brought someone to "pick up" Sheng Yue.
As soon as Sheng Yue landed, He Wei looked at his completely unfamiliar subordinates behind him and asked coldly, "Who is this? Where is the elder you brought out?"
Sheng Yue looked calm, "I will explain this matter to the master."
He Wei snorted, "You'd better explain clearly where you have been these days!"
