Su Liang saw Peng Qian again. He was conscious, his eyes were watery, and he said in a weak voice, "Thank you... thank you..."
"For the sake of your old father and your children, I hope you don't give up on yourself and you will get better." Su Liang looked serious.
Peng Fan's eyes fell on the rabbit purse on Su Liang's waist again, looking at Su Liang with a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
Peng Qian was in low spirits, so Su Liang simply said a few words to him, administered the acupuncture and left.
There was nothing planned to do today, so Su Liang asked the old housekeeper if the tea garden was far away.
The old housekeeper said that there was a large tea garden near Lingyin Temple on the outskirts of the city. If Su Liang wanted to go there and have a look, he could do it at any time.
"Then let's go for a walk and prepare some eating fruits." Su Liang ordered.
Half an hour later, Su Liang went out, got into a low-key and luxurious carriage, and headed towards the tea garden.
In addition to carrying a medicine box with her, she also brought a medical book that she had not read before, as well as the notes she had taken, which Gu Ling had sorted out and tucked into the book.
Su Liang opened it, and what came into view was the latest page of notes. She originally wanted to put it aside, but after glancing at it, she brought it back to her eyes.
“How can we defeat that weirdo, the Great God?”
This was written casually by Su Liang because she was distracted while reading two days ago.
The following two lines, "1. Daydreaming" and "2. Night dreaming", were exactly the same as Su Liang's handwriting. Looking at it, she couldn't help but wonder if she had written it while sleepwalking, because she was very sure that she had never written it while she was awake.
It’s impossible to write this!
But Su Liang didn't have the habit of sleepwalking. The next moment she realized that this must be the work of some weird master.
You know, Su Liang started learning calligraphy after time travel, copying Gu Ling's calligraphy. Later, he learned another calligraphy, which was Ningjing's.
Therefore, two people's characters can be confused with each other's, making it difficult to distinguish.
If Gu Ling were here, Su Liang would definitely put that piece of paper on his face and tell him, "We'll see."
But now Su Liang was alone in the carriage. She just snorted, put down her notes, and continued reading.
On the way, I passed the street where he was assassinated last night, and I heard someone talking outside that several bodies were found here early in the morning.
Su Liang didn't investigate either, because they were all dead soldiers and nothing could be found. And the person who wanted to kill her was just a certain prince in the capital.
Su Liang and Duanmu Sheng are now in a life-and-death relationship, and they both know it.
Duanmu Sheng himself knew best what he had done, and he should have understood by now that after Duanmu Ao died, the Wan family collapsed, and Wan Cong was beheaded, Su Liang would never let him go.
Therefore, the only way left for Duanmu Sheng was to kill Su Liang first.
In comparison, Su Liang was not afraid of Duanmu Sheng, who was now driven to the point of panic by her, but killing him was unchangeable.
When the carriage stopped, Su Liang tucked the notes back into the book, closed the book and put it away. He opened the curtain and saw greenery everywhere, feeling relaxed and happy.
The driver was the grandson of the old housekeeper. Su Liang only knew that his nickname was Ah Si. He was a dark-skinned young man with an honest smile.
The steward of the tea garden and a group of people were waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Su Liang, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but she stopped him.
Ah Si carried Su Liang's medicine box in one hand and the food he had brought for her in the other, and followed her into the tea garden.
The steward respectfully introduced the situation of the tea garden to Su Liang. She knew tea well and asked some questions, which made the steward feel that she was quite knowledgeable and he did not dare to neglect her.
After a brief visit to the tea garden, Su Liang was invited to a pavilion built on a small hill. Ah Si said that his grandfather mentioned that Mr. Ning used to like to come to the tea garden to drink tea and play chess when he had free time, so he built this pavilion specially.
.
On the table were tea, various snacks, seasonal fruits, and Su Liang's medicine box.
She asked everyone to leave, and stood by the pavilion, admiring the scenery of the tea garden for a while. She sat down and drank some tea, ate two snacks and a peach. She thought that the dried peach preserves at home should be ready in three to five days.
Already.
The breeze came slowly, and Su Liang liked the faint fragrance of tea tree in the air. He opened the medical book and read it. He also took out the four treasures of the study from the medicine box and circled the weird question and someone's weird answer.
Keep taking notes on it.
Su Liang didn't know if Gu Ling had followed him secretly, but the position was too conspicuous, so he definitely wouldn't show up.
Near noon, the steward came to ask Su Liang if he wanted to have a meal in the tea garden. He said that his wife's craftsmanship was quite good, and if Su Liang didn't mind, he could prepare meals for her.
Su Liang asked the steward to prepare. She planned to finish reading the book before leaving today.
"Miss!"
When Su Liang heard Ah Si calling her, she looked up and saw Ah Si walking over with someone, his figure looked familiar.
As he got closer, Su Liang saw the person clearly, was slightly startled, and closed the book in his hand.
"The young master said that he was looking for the young lady in an emergency, so grandpa sent someone to bring him here! Do you know the young lady?" Ah Si asked.
Su Liang nodded, "You are my friend. You can go down."
…
Lin Xin, who was tired of the journey, sat down opposite Su Liang. Seeing an empty teacup that no one was using, he picked up the teapot and filled himself a cup of tea. He drank it all in one gulp and breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at Su Liang, his eyes wide.
Guang was concerned, "Are you okay?"
Su Liang's expression was indifferent, "Didn't Mr. Lin go to the north to join the army and say he wanted to shine on his family? Why do you have time to come here?"
Lin Wei sighed deeply, "Is he really dead?"
Su Liang nodded, "Yes, Ning Jing is really dead."
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes, "Although we don't have a close friendship, he is a very interesting person. I really made friends with him. He also once said that I was his friend. I thought that when we meet again, you will have become friends.
Husband and wife, but I didn’t expect..."
"My condolences." Su Liang said calmly.
This was what Lin Yi wanted to say to Su Liang, but he didn't expect to hear it from Su Liang first. He couldn't help but feel sad, "To be honest, before I heard you say that he was dead, I always thought that maybe
There is another hidden secret. He just doesn’t want to be an official anymore, so he fakes his death to escape, travel around the world, or find a paradise to live in seclusion. In fact, I don’t know much about him, but I have an intuition that he can do such a thing."
Su Liang was silent. Lin Wei's intuition was quite accurate, but there were some secrets that he wouldn't know.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Qian said seriously, "I took a leave of absence from the Marquis and made a special trip to visit you. I will return to Xuanbei City later. He is very worried about you, but he has a heavy responsibility and cannot leave."
"Thank you very much. Please tell Uncle Xing that I'm fine and will return to the capital in a few days." Su Liang said.
"It's fine." Lin Wei hesitated for a while, then changed the subject and talked about the situation in the northern part of Qian Kingdom after Su Liang left Xuanbei City.
"The person in charge of training the troops now is Chen Yun. With the new method you proposed, the overall strength of the army has been significantly improved. In Xuanbei City, no matter where you go, you can hear people praising you, and some saying that you are
A born general." Lin Wei said.
Su Liang shook his head, "Exaggerated. I have never been on the battlefield."
"Despite this, I believe that if one day you lead troops to fight, you will be very powerful." Lin Wei said.
"How are Chen Yun's parents in good health?" Su Liang asked.
Lin Wei nodded, "After your treatment, their health has improved a lot. But you also know that the two old people are suffering from heart diseases, and they can't be cured if they can't find Chen Xiao."
"I asked someone to help me find it, but there is no news yet," Su Liang said.
"I have been paying attention in the past few years, but I have found nothing." Lin Wei sighed, "Actually, this is also Chen Yun's heart problem. On the surface, he is just like me, careless, and there are many things hidden in his heart that he doesn't want to talk about."
"You are much more stable than before." Su Liang said.
Lin Wei shook his head, "My friend died, so I can't laugh and joke anymore. It's not that I have no heart."
"Is there anything else?" Su Liang asked.
Lin Wei frowned, "Are you expelling guests now? I came all the way, and I didn't even have enough water to drink... I only drank two cups of tea, and I was starving to death. After all, I am also your master of disguise. If you are in the mood
No, even if you beat me up, you can’t just ignore them, right?”
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal, and after that I'll beat you up, but you can't fight back."
The corner of Lin Xin's mouth twitched, and he looked at the sky speechlessly...
The daughter-in-law of the tea garden steward made authentic home-cooked dishes, especially a dish of green tea minced meat and tofu. Su Liang liked it very much and immediately called the steward and his wife to ask how to make it.
Lin Xin quietly tasted the delicious food and listened to Su Liang talking to the steward's wife.
After they left, Lin Qian sighed, "Looking at you, I always feel as if nothing happened. He is still here. You learned the recipe because you wanted to go back and cook it for him."
Su Liang's hand paused slightly, but because it was under the table, Lin Xin didn't notice it.
This person's intuition is too keen... Su Liang thought to herself that she had to be careful not to let Lin Wei discover any flaws.
Seeing that Su Liang was silent, Lin Wei thought he was talking about her sadness and apologized quickly.
"It's okay. I thought you came to pursue me after learning that Ning Jing was dead. I didn't expect you had such deep feelings for him." Su Liang said in surprise.
Lin Xie choked on a mouthful of soup, clutching his chest and coughing sideways...
After a while, Lin Wei looked at Su Liang again and said with a faint tone, "Since you are so direct, I will say it directly. Ning Jing's body is still cold. If I say that I want to pursue you, it will seem very inhumane, but I admit that I do intend to wait."
You pick up your mood and start pursuing you. I like you very much. I gave up when I knew I couldn't compare with Ningjing. Now I hope you can give me a chance."
Su Liang ate quietly, as if she didn't hear him.
So after Lin Xian confessed his love, the atmosphere became very awkward.
Lin Xian also picked up the chopsticks again, but he was a little confused. He just wanted to see Su Liang this time, and had no intention of confessing, but Su Liang unexpectedly revealed his feelings first, so he confessed. Now he feels a little regretful and unpredictable.
What on earth was Su Liang thinking? He just felt that this was not a good time.
When Su Liang put down his chopsticks, Lin Xin also put down his chopsticks silently.
"Your cousin Duanmu Che was also involved in killing Ningjing." Su Liang spoke again.
Lin Xian had just imagined countless ways for Su Liang to reject him, but he never expected that she would suddenly mention Duanmu Che, let alone that Duanmu Che would kill Ningjing.
"Is he trying to get you?" Lin Xin's face darkened.
Su Liang nodded, "Probably so. Although I don't understand why Duanmu Che hated me so much at first and why he changed so much later. Maybe some people just do whatever they want, get what they want, and refuse to give up by any means necessary."
"Is he crazy?" Lin Xie's anger stemmed from the fact that he still had expectations for Duanmu Che. After all, they had a brotherly relationship since childhood. Lin Xie thought that it was his responsibility to seek medical treatment for him.
.
"I'm just telling you this." Su Liang said, "You are you and he is him. But I want to ask, if I want to kill Duanmu Che, will you stop me?"
Lin Qian's face was ugly. After a long silence, he asked Su Liang, "Duanmu Che killed Ningjing?"
Su Liang shook his head, "It doesn't count. Duanmu Che made a move, but he didn't succeed."
"If it is true that he killed Ning Jing, I will blame myself very much, because his survival to this day has a lot to do with me." Lin Wei sighed, "If you have evidence, you must avenge Ning Jing. It is a matter of course and I have no reason to stop him.
"He and I are destined to be different people, and the brotherhood we had in the past was nothing more than wishful thinking on my part. Although my grandfather left a last wish for me to take care of him, I can't ignore human ethics and help others do evil."
"Okay." Su Liang nodded, "There's no need for you to pursue me. If you can't catch up, don't waste your efforts and hurt your feelings."
Lin Yan was stunned by Su Liang's sudden U-turn again. He stared at her blankly and was speechless for a long time. He should have been sad when his confession was rejected, but in the end he couldn't help laughing, "
To speak so irritatingly, did you learn it from Ning Jing? Or did he learn it from you? Or is it because of this that you two got together?"
"I learned it from him." Su Liang said that she was influenced by someone Gu. She was originally very gentle. However, it was too much for the situation. This kind of thing must be cut through quickly. It has nothing to do with others. She thinks Lin Xi people are very good.
, I truly regard him as a friend, but I don’t feel that way.
"Do you really not consider me at all?" Lin Wei also let go and returned to his original casual appearance. He held his face in his hands and looked at Su Liang aggrievedly, "Am I that bad? Lian Ningjing
Not even a hair on my head can compare?”
Su Liang shook his head, "No. You can at least be as good as two hairs of his hair. Don't belittle yourself."
Lin Xin:......
"Chen Yun told me before I came here that you wouldn't accept me, and sure enough." Lin Yun rubbed his face and sat up straight, "But what did you mean by hurting feelings just now? We have feelings.
?”
"Don't cross the line, you can be friends. If you cross the line, you can't be friends." Su Liang told Lin Wei her principles for making friends very simply and rudely.
Lin Xin nodded faintly, "I understand, should I thank you for your honesty? I just like your honesty. Hey, what nonsense am I talking about? I take it back, I didn't cross the line! But..."
Lin Wei suddenly approached and stared into Su Liang's eyes, "What kind of person do you like? I can't do it, what about Chen Yun's kind?"
Su Liang opened Lin Xie's head with a slap, "None of you can do that!"
Lin Wei lamented, "Then we can live together! I won't come to your place for abuse!"
Su Liang nodded, "I think this will work."
"I'm kidding, I like cute girls, who wants to live with that bearded rough guy like Chen Yun?" Lin Wei shook his head and stood up, "Aren't you going to beat me up? Come on, I'll go back after the beating!"
"The fight just happened, you can leave." Su Liang said.
Lin Yan looked at Su Liang, dumbfounded, "Su Xiaoliang, you are really good! This trip is not in vain. After meeting you, I feel that after Ningping left, you can take care of yourself, and you are good at hitting and scolding others."
Strength, not bad! In this case, I will go back. They all say that they want to make contributions and make a name for themselves. It would be too shameful to give up halfway! You can kill whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me! I want to see who you will marry in the end.
immortal!"
After saying this, Lin Xian emptied the fruit plate and snacks on the table, put them in the cloth bag he brought with him, and walked away with them.
