Returning Home, Two Masters

No one in Yao City expected that Gu Ling and Su Liang would get married according to the decree, and they would be so glorious. However, after the wedding ceremony, not long after the wedding banquet started, the two broke up.

The reason spread quickly: Su Liang had always been in unrequited love. Gu Ling agreed to marry her this time just to take the opportunity to ask Emperor Liang for a thousand-year-old snow lotus. He didn't really want to marry her at all. Even his snow lotus was meant to be given to him. woman!

Everyone who heard this was shocked and deeply sympathized with Su Liang's experience. At the same time, they despised Gu Ling's selfish and indifferent behavior, and they all appreciated Su Liang's decisiveness in separating from Gu Ling after learning the truth.

For a time, Yao City was abuzz with everyone talking about this matter.

The wedding banquet in Prince Ning's Mansion has ended long ago, but the bright red words "Happiness" posted on the door made everyone who saw it sigh.

Su Liang went into the palace, and Liandong arranged for the two guards who came with Nian Jincheng to have a meal and rest.

Nian Jincheng also went to bed. Anyway, after meeting Gu Ling and Su Liang, he couldn't control the development of things next and let them go as they pleased.

Situ Xie, who had not yet left, saw that Gu Ling had taken off her wedding robe and was packing her luggage. He sighed deeply and said, "You have agreed to fake the marriage a long time ago, right?"

Gu Ling said calmly, "No." In fact, he was a little regretful that this marriage ended too quickly, and he didn't even have the chance to take a good look at Su Liang in her wedding dress.

Situ Xie shook his head and said, "That's all. As long as you know what you are doing, Su Liang is as smart as he is and can pass the emperor's test. When she leaves the palace, you should return to Qian Kingdom as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

After saying this, Situ Xie was about to leave, but turned around when he reached the door, "Did Emperor Qian send Su Liang here for Mu's secret records? How can you make a deal when you go back empty-handed?"

Gu Ling asked back, "Then will you give me the secret record?"

Situ Xie's face stiffened, "The secret record is with the emperor. Not to mention that I don't have it. Even if it is in my hands, since you are interested in the Qian Kingdom, if I give it to you, it will be a great disadvantage to the Liang Kingdom. Ling'er, I hope you remember , Emperor Qian only uses you and is suspicious of you, and will never truly trust you, but Liang Kingdom will accept you no matter what."

Gu Ling stopped talking, and Situ Xie sighed repeatedly, "Take care of yourself from now on. If you can be of use to grandpa, just let me know." After saying that, he left.

Gu Ling stared at Situ Xie's back, and was a little confused for a moment as to what he was planning.

…

The Royal Palace of Liang Kingdom.

After listening to Su Liang explain why she wanted to break off her engagement with Gu Ling, Situ Han couldn't blame her. Because it took Gu Ling a thousand years to agree to get married with Xue Lian, he knew about it but did not tell Su Liang.

Su Liang is not an ordinary woman. She became famous all over the world because she won the first prize in martial arts in one fell swoop, and later became highly regarded by Emperor Qian. With her temperament, it is normal for her to react like this when she learns that she has been deceived.

Situ Han persuaded Su Liang, "Ling'er will naturally fall in love with you after we have been together for a long time."

Su Liang's eyes dimmed, "Does Your Majesty think I chose to give up?"

Situ Han frowned and saw Su Liang smile bitterly, "He told the truth today, but he just doesn't want to continue with me. After all, he has obtained Xuelian and fulfilled his promise to His Majesty to worship me, but he really wants to do it with me." Husband and wife, he is determined to refuse. If I try to force him, I will lose my self-respect."

Now that things have happened, Su Liang has become the victim of being deceived into a marriage, and Situ Han is Gu Ling's accomplice. It's hard to say anything more.

But at this moment, Situ Han suspected that Su Liang made this decision because Nian Jincheng brought Duanmu Yi's intention.

"I heard that General Nian was ordered to deliver Emperor Qian's edict to you, but what happened?" Situ Han asked.

Su Liang nodded, "The Emperor is feeling unwell and ordered me to return home as soon as possible. His Majesty Emperor Liang's health is fully recovered. I should have gone back long ago."

Situ Han knew that he had only achieved half of his goal of getting Su Liang and Gu Ling married, but it could only go so far. And he guessed that the real purpose of Duanmu Yi's sending Nian Jincheng was to collect the secret records of the agency, so he asked Su Liang when he would set off.

"Let's do it today." Su Liang sighed, "We can't delay any longer."

Situ Han was surprised. Leaving today? Doesn't Su Liang intend to steal the secret records of the agency? Or should he pretend to leave first and then return secretly?

What followed was some polite words to persuade him to stay and decline. After Situ Han watched Su Liang leave, he sent someone to invite Situ Xie into the palace.

…

When Su Liang returned to Prince Ning's Mansion, Ling Dong saw her face was calm, thinking that she was feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to show it, so she couldn't hide her anger when she opened her mouth, "Marquis Chang Xin is really too much! The master is so kind to him, but he deliberately deceives!"

Su Liang took Liandong into the room and said while packing his luggage, "Don't get excited. He didn't lie to me."

Ren Dong was stunned, and Su Liang smiled, "I knew a long time ago that he agreed to the marriage for Xue Lian. I also conspired with him to delay the time to stay in Yao City to look for secret records. Now that the emperor has let him go back, it's just right. No more acting."

Ling Dong was stunned, "Master, doesn't he really want to marry Gu Hou?"

Su Liang shrugged, "In the past, it depends on my mood in the future. As for now, I just want to go home quickly."

Lonicera:... Are emotions so freely retractable? So chic! She knew that her master could not be trapped in love!

Seeing Lonicera's expression of admiration, Su Liang told her not to think about the things she had and didn't have, and to hurry up and prepare to set off.

…

Although they broke up and the marriage was annulled on the day of their marriage, Su Liang and Gu Ling, both ministers of the Qian Kingdom, still left together in the eyes of the people of Yaocheng. Just like when they came, Su Liang was riding a horse and Gu Ling was riding a car.

As for the many gifts and rewards Su Liang received, she asked Situ Xie to help send people to the Qian Kingdom, and Situ Xie happily agreed.

Peng Wei took Peng Fan off to the city gate.

"Are you okay?" Peng Wei said and glared at the carriage Gu Ling was riding in. He was obviously someone who thought Su Liang had been badly hurt.

Su Liang shook his head, "I'm fine, Mr. Peng, don't worry."

"You are so nice, but that brat has a problem with his eyes. Don't pay attention to him! There are many people who like you, don't you think so, Peng Fan?" Peng Wei said loudly on purpose.

Peng Fan was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly called. He really admired Su Liang and was a little attracted to her, but his father put out the small flame in his heart at that time. When he came back, his grandfather said that he was not good enough for Su Liang and gave up as soon as possible. , but today, in order to comfort Su Liang, I asked him to express his position again...

However, Peng Fan still said seriously, "Yes, I am one of Miss Su's admirers."

Gu Ling in the carriage: ...Su Liang will definitely say thank you.

Su Liang suddenly smiled, "Oh, thank you Mr. Peng."

Peng Fan: ...No surprise, you're welcome...

Nian Jincheng coughed slightly, "It's getting late."

Su Liang held up his hands and said, "Mr. Peng, please go back quickly! Everyone, see you later!"

Not only the Peng family came, but also brothers and sisters Situ Jing and Situ Yao. Su Liang has already said goodbye.

Watching them leave, Situ Yao sighed, "Why did this great day end like this?"

Situ Jing shook his head, "Little sister, don't think too much, I think they don't care much.

…

After leaving Yao City, Su Liang knew that Situ Han or Situ Xie would definitely send someone to monitor their whereabouts, and suspected that they would go back and steal the secret records.

Su Liang didn't care about this. Just keep an eye on her. She won't go back to Yao City to steal secret records. There's no need at all.

It was night, and they rested in another city closest to Yao City.

When the two guards Duanmu Yi arranged for Nian Jincheng saw that Su Liang and Gu Ling could eat at the same table, they were as calm as if nothing had happened. It was strange, but they were only responsible for telling what they saw and heard when they returned. Report to Duanmu Yi, no need to think too much.

When setting off again the next day, Gu Ling also rode a horse.

Without the carriage in the team, the speed was much faster. In fact, Gu Ling and Su Liang didn't need to rush back day and night, all because they wanted Nian Jincheng to reunite with his new wife as soon as possible. Coupled with the fact that there were eyeliners watching, I felt uncomfortable speaking and doing things, so I decided to hurry up and go home.

Every break is determined by Gu Ling. He has the highest status and the strongest temper, so everyone listens to him.

Nian Jincheng knew very well that whether or not to rest and how long it took to rest depended on whether Su Liang was hungry, cold, sleepy or sleepy. Gu Ling did everything just to make Su Liang less tired.

In this way, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they left the territory of Liang Kingdom and returned to Xuanbei City of Qian Kingdom.

…

It was already afternoon when they arrived at Xuanbeicheng, and Su Liang and Gu Ling planned to stay here for one night.

"Lin Ji went home?" Su Liang asked Xing Ji.

Xing Ji smiled and nodded, "After he went to Liang Kingdom, the Lin family of Kasyapa City sent someone to deliver a letter, telling him to go home for the New Year. He came back injured and insisted on leaving after reading the letter, and I didn't stop him."

"The two successors that my adoptive father wanted to cultivate have all gone south. What should we do?" Su Liang chuckled.

Xing Ji sighed, "Yes. But if you can help me, I won't care about any of those brats."

Su Liang nodded, "I'm willing, but the Emperor thinks that I'm more suitable to be an imperial doctor for the time being." Although she resigned from the position of general on her own initiative, being a general in the capital originally didn't make much sense.

"What about yourself?" Xing Ji smiled and asked, "What do you like to do?"

Su Liang thought about it seriously, "Comparatively speaking, I prefer to practice medicine and save people instead of going into battle to kill enemies. It's not that thrilling and is suitable for a weak woman like me."

Xing Ji laughed loudly, "If you were a weak woman, wouldn't Yu Sheng be ashamed to death?"

Su Liang had long been used to Xing Ji's tendency to complain about her son when praising her, and once again said that she would convey the exact words to Xing Yusheng.

Xing Ji felt in a good mood when he saw Su Liang. After the pleasantries were over, he got down to business.

What Su Liang told Xing Ji was that she planned to return to Beijing to meet Duanmu Yi. She and Gu Ling agreed to Emperor Liang's marriage leave to get married because of the secret record.

"If this is the case, the emperor will not blame him." Xing Ji was relieved to learn that Gu Ling did not deliberately deceive Su Liang. He was also worried that Su Liang would like Gu Ling too much but would not get a response and be hurt.

"As for the secret record, after Situ Xie got it first, he put it out for sale in order to attract the head of the Mu family. He wanted to set up a trap for me to buy it, but Emperor Liang got it," Su Liang said.

Xing Ji's expression straightened, "I see. But even if, as you said, there is only half a copy that is incomplete and unusable, the Emperor will definitely hope to get it."

Su Liang had already planned this, "I will explain it to the emperor."

Xing Ji nodded, "That's the case, I'm relieved." He didn't ask how she planned to explain to Duanmu Yi.

When Su Liang was about to leave, Xing Ji asked her about her real relationship with Gu Ling.

"Not bad, but we are just friends for now." Su Liang said.

"Do you think we can go further?" Xing Ji asked with a smile.

Su Liang clasped his hands together and said, "Fate is destined, you have to ask Yue Lao."

Xing Ji:……

…

When setting off early the next morning, Qi Jun also joined the team returning to Beijing. Su Liang thought it would be good for him to develop in the army, but Qi Jiang did not want his son to become a general. Although Qi Jun has this intention, he prefers to follow Su Liang at this stage.

"It would be great if I followed the master to the Liang Kingdom." Qi Jun felt a little regretful.

Su Liang called Ren Dong, "Tell Qi Jun how cold Liang is."

Ren Dong thought for a while and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold."

Qi Jun was a little confused, and then he heard Ren Dong say, "Because my name is Ren Dong."

Qi Jun chuckled, "Ren Dong, you have become humorous after going to Liang."

Ren Dong: ... This cold joke was told by Su Liang...

Then Su Liang silently rode his horse to the front to chase Gu Ling, "I'm afraid of the cold. You guys chat."

Qi Jun asked about some people he knew, such as King Yue Situ Xie, Princess Yaoguang, the Emperor of Liang, etc. Ren Dong only said how those people made her feel, and the evaluation could be summed up in two words: "hypocrisy".

When passing by Feiyan Town, Bei'an County again, Su Liang proposed to go back to her hometown and give her half a day.

Gu Ling did not express his opinion, which meant that he agreed. After finding the inn, he went into the room and said that he was not allowed to disturb her.

Nian Jincheng knew that Gu Ling would definitely go back to Sujia Village secretly, so he invited the two guards to drink.

Su Liang rode back to Sujia Village with Ren Dong and Qi Jun. The mountains in the village were still covered with snow that had not yet melted. Someone recognized Su Liang and shouted excitedly, "Miss Su is back!"

Soon, Su Liang saw many familiar faces. She greeted them and returned to her home in the village.

Xiaohu and Zhuzi were both in the school. Aunt Bai trotted over and was overjoyed to see that it was really Su Liang. "Why are you back now, Liang girl? Are you leaving?"

Su Liang didn't need to ask, she was sure that everything was fine in the village. She explained to Aunt Bai that she was passing by on her way back from a business trip to Liang State and would leave soon.

"Xiaohu and Zhuzi always talk about you." Aunt Bai took Su Liang's hand and asked her to go to her house for dinner.

"I came back to find a book and will be there later." Su Liang said with a smile.

Aunt Bai nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go cook for you now!" After saying that, she hurried away again.

Su Liang asked Ren Dong and Qi Jun to go to the school to check the situation and report back to her. The two left together.

When Su Liang pushed open the door of the room where Gu Ling used to live, he was already standing inside.

"Master, how does it feel to be home?" Su Liang chuckled.

Gu Ling turned around and nodded gently, "Very good."

"This is a very high evaluation for you. Your catchphrase is OK." Su Liang sat down at the table, "Unfortunately, there are no pumpkins and eggplants in the backyard this season. I will go to Aunt Bai's house for dinner later, and you can't go either."

Because the Bai family knew "Ning Jing", not Gu Ling.

Gu Ling thought that the next time he could go to the Bai family for dinner, he would probably have to marry Su Liang.

...

In the middle, Su Bai came and chatted with Su Liang for a while, talking about the situation in the school and some things in the village, and asked about Su Liang's recent situation.

In a remote village, the news is not so well-informed. The news that Su Liang and Gu Ling got married and separated in Liangguo has not yet spread here.

Su Liang just said that everything was fine with her.

After Su Bai left, Su Liang went to see Su Dakuan. He couldn't help but mention "Ningjing", and Su Liang comforted him a few words.

Aunt Bai prepared the most sumptuous meal in the farm to entertain Su Liang and Qi Jun Rendong. Xiaohu and Zhuzi also ran back from the school to see Su Liang. Compared with the last time they met, they have grown taller.

Su Liang couldn't stay any longer, so he left after dinner.

Aunt Bai steamed a basket of buns for her to eat on the road, and Uncle Bai baked a bunch of small sweet potatoes.

When Su Liang returned to Feiyan Town, Nian Jincheng went to knock on Gu Ling's door and asked him to come out. It was time to leave.

Su Liang only gave one bun and baked sweet potato to each of the others, saying that the rest were hers, but in fact she secretly gave them all to Gu Ling.

...

Ganguo Capital.

The story about Gu Ling and Su Liang accepting the canonization and marriage of the Emperor of Liang, but breaking up on the day of the wedding in Liang State has long been spread.

Su Liang's friends have scolded Gu Ling countless times.

Every time Mr. Qin saw Lin Shuzhi, he would sigh that the boy from the Gu family was so beautiful, his eyes were very bad, and his heart was also very bad! He was willing to bully even a good girl like Su Liang! This is intolerable!

Knowing that everything was a conspiracy between Su Liang and Gu Ling, Lin Shuzhi could only cooperate with Mr. Qin, complaining about Gu Ling together, and felt sorry for Su Liang.

Finally, one day in the late first month of the lunar calendar, Su Liang and Gu Ling returned to the capital.

Not long after entering the city, Su Liang saw a familiar hunchbacked old man fall on the side of the road. She recognized it as Old Man Mu and hurriedly got off the horse to help.

"Thank you... Thank you Doctor Su..." Old Man Mu's tone was weak, but his eyes were shining. He stuffed something into Su Liang's sleeve and whispered, "Take it for you."

"Master is so kind." Su Liang whispered, leaning over to help Old Man Mu up, "Go home quickly."

When Su Liang went towards the direction of the palace, the hunchbacked old man in the crowd disappeared.

Su Mansion.

There were a pile of wine jars lying on the lakeside, and a person was lying in the middle. If you don't look closely, you will think it is a pile of rags.

Old Man Mu came over and kicked the "rag". The "rag" moved, so he kicked it again, "Drunkard, get up quickly! I told that girl to find her a good master, how can I put my face down when you are half dead?"

The "rag" rolled over and said incoherently, "What master and apprentice... I want to... drink..."

Old Man Mu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Drink, drink, drink! Sooner or later, you will drink yourself to death! Let's see how your apprentice will deal with you when he comes back?"

"Apprentice... what apprentice... what apprentice... what apprentice..." The "rag" laughed foolishly, "I don't have an apprentice... no! No! No!"

Old Man Mu sat by the lake and sighed, "I worked so hard to carry you back, thinking that I could please my disciple and live with her in the future, but you look so dead and don't say a word. I don't know if you really know poison. I'm afraid both of us will be kicked out. Then we can only live in the home of my other disciple. That kid, if you drink yourself to death, he can revive you!"
