Both Won
The night wind blew against his face, and it was not cold, but Nangong Lin couldn't help but shudder. He knew very well that if Gu Ling said she wanted to kill him, she would really do it!
"I said." Nangong Lin has always been a person who knows current affairs.
Gu Ling put away the gun in his hand, grabbed one of Nangong Lin's arms, and dragged him from the ground into the room.
Su Liang closed the door and window, flicked the wick, and the room became a little brighter.
"Tell me, start from the beginning." Su Liang sat down and looked at Nangong Lin coldly.
"What...from the beginning?" Nangong Lin was stunned for a moment. He was thinking about what to say about Yue Mei.
"Starting from the day you were injured and escaped last year. Where did you go and who did you meet?" Su Liang said.
Nangong Lin's heart tightened. If we start from the beginning, the time span is very long, and there are many things and people involved. If there is any flaw in him, it will be discovered. Now that things have happened, he has absolutely no doubts about how terrifying Gu Ling and Su Liang's minds really are.
But Nangong Lin didn't dare not to speak, and didn't even have the chance to hesitate and think, "I escaped that time and have been hiding in Yanguo to recuperate since I landed ashore. My hamstring was severed and I didn't fully recover until two months ago. Before that, I didn’t go anywhere and didn’t interact with anyone. I was afraid that if I used force, I would be injured and my feet would be disabled.”
Su Liang thought it was possible. A broken hamstring is not easy to cure.
"More than a month ago, I left the Yan Kingdom and went to the Liang Kingdom to meet Situ Xie and wanted to serve him." Nangong Lin didn't have time to make up a logical and self-consistent story, so he decided to tell the truth about certain facts, "You are They must kill me, I have no other choice but to seek refuge with Situ Xie..."
"There's no need to explain so much." Su Liang interrupted Nangong Lin, "Just tell me what you did."
Nangong Lin's expression froze, he took a deep breath, and continued, "I met Yue Mei at Situ Xie's place. I only knew that she was a poison master, but I didn't know anything else. At that time, Liang Guo and Qian Guo were already fighting. , and the Liang Kingdom failed to attack the city, many people turned their anger on Situ Jing... Qiu Jing. There was a strong voice from the Liang Kingdom to get rid of the traitor Qiu Jing as soon as possible, so Situ Xie sent me and Yue Mei to Xuanbei City. Kill Qiu Jing."
"I lied that Qian'er was with me and wanted to say goodbye to Qiu Jing and Master to lure them out of the city, but they didn't go at all." Nangong Lin looked ugly, "Then we received a new order to come to the capital to kill you. "
Su Liang: ...There are really a lot of people who want to kill her during this period!
"I made an agreement with Yue Mei that tonight she will lure Gu Ling out of the house, and then I will take Qian'er away." Nangong Lin said, "I didn't expect that Gu Ling didn't go, but even if she did, Yue Mei wouldn't go. She suffered the same thing before."
"Then how do you plan to kill me?" Su Liang asked.
Nangong Lin was silent for a moment before speaking, "It was Yue Mei's idea. She wanted to capture another child of yours, and then find a place to meet you during the day and let you make the exchange yourself."
"Who are you trying to arrest?" Su Liang's eyes were cold.
Nangong Lin shook his head, "It's not decided yet. It was agreed that after I take Qian'er away tonight, we will decide based on the situation. Her hands and feet are disabled now, and she has to wait for me to do some things. But she said that the children of the Su family will not It’s easy to catch, you can catch the Lin family. Although what happened tonight will scare the snake, you can’t protect so many people.”
"Where will you stay?" Su Liang asked.
Nangong Lin mentioned a location in the woods outside the city.
"Are you done?" Gu Ling asked coldly.
Nangong Lin sighed, and felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes. Gu Ling pressed the gun between his eyebrows again, "Since there is no use, you can go and die."
Nangong Lin's eyes widened and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It was the first time that he felt that death was so close. He could no longer calm down and blurted out, "I haven't finished yet!"
"Go on." Gu Ling did not take the gun back.
Although there was nothing wrong with Nangong Lin's story, Gu Ling felt that it couldn't be that simple.
"One more thing. I went into the city with Yue Mei during the day today, and we happened to see Su Liang. We followed her in the dark for a while, and Yue Mei suddenly turned around and left the city." Nangong Lin said with sweat, "She went outside the city. Afterwards, she looked at the capital and muttered to herself, wondering what was going on. I asked, but she refused to tell her. But I guessed that it had something to do with Su Liang's life experience. As long as you let me go. Just tell you everything! I swear, it’s true!”
Nangong Lin did not collapse at the critical moment. He did not lie. However, he first did not mention Mo Yan and deliberately left the most important thing until the end. According to his guess, Mo Yan didn't know that Su Liang was his granddaughter, and it was even less likely that Su Liang knew. Su Liang knew nothing about Xingluo Island and Mo Yan, let alone that Mo Yan wanted to kill her and was helping Situ Xie conquer the Qian Kingdom. Judging from Situ Xie and Yue Mei's respectful attitude towards Mo Yan, we can tell that that man must be extremely powerful and extremely dangerous, and may become the biggest threat to Su Liang and Gu Ling.
Just when Nangong Lin thought he could get away with that secret, he saw Gu Ling's face remained as usual, and Su Liang suddenly sneered, "That's it?"
Nangong Lin's heart skipped a beat, "You...don't you want to know your life experience?"
"You think you know my life better than me?" Su Liang asked.
Nangong Lin looked at her in disbelief. Does she know about Xingluo Island? Do you know Shen Qingxue and Mo Yan? Shen Qingxue... His expression suddenly froze and he realized that he had overlooked one thing! Shen Qingxue's senior brother Mo Fei (Lao Bai's original name, everyone may have forgotten (*^▽^*)) accepted Su Liang as his disciple! Would Mo Fei have told Su Liang that she was Shen Qingxue's granddaughter? And Mo Fei may know who Shen Qingxue's man is!
No, no, no... Nangong Lin felt something was wrong again. If Su Liang had known about Xingluo Island and Mo Yan, and knew that she might be Mo Yan's granddaughter, how could she have done nothing? At least, if Mo Yan knows about this, maybe many things will be different!
But the next moment, Su Liang spoke, "Xingluo Island? Mo Yan? Shen Qingxue? My biological mother? What else?"
Nangong Lin heard the voice of death calling. Su Liang actually knew what he thought was a big secret, and knew more than he did. Since the biological mother was mentioned, she must be the granddaughter of Mo Yan and Shen Qingxue. The reason why Nangong Lin couldn't rule out that Su Liang was their granddaughter was because he always felt that Su Liang's father was not Su Yuanzhou's son. The Su family could not give birth to such a monster...
"Since you have never been to Xingluo Island, I guess your so-called secret was something you guessed based on Yue Mei's abnormal performance today." Su Liang snorted, "But it doesn't make any sense anymore."
"I...I can help you capture Yue Mei! She captured your master!" Nangong Lin looked anxious.
"No need." Su Liang shook his head, and the gun in Gu Ling's hand moved away from Nangong Lin's eyebrows, and then shot through both his wrists.
Nangong Lin fainted before he could even scream.
In the middle of the night, Gu Ling disguised herself as Nangong Lin and carried Su Liang, who was pretending to be Nangong Qian, out of the city.
According to Nangong Lin, Gu Ling found the approximate place and stopped. Instead of going any further, he leaned against a tree and coughed. This is to avoid the inaccurate location of the final stop from arousing Yue Mei's suspicion.
Sure enough, after a while, there was movement nearby, and then Yue Mei's voice sounded, "Are you injured?"
Gu Ling coughed twice more and saw Yue Mei walking out from behind a big tree, leaning on a cane. One of her hands was made of iron, emitting a cold light.
The distance between the two is about three meters.
Gu Ling put Su Liang down and asked her to sit against the tree before saying, "There is an old woman living with Qian'er."
Yue Mei snorted coldly, "You're the one you saw with Su Liang during the day, right? No matter what, you have to take your daughter out of the Su Mansion first, and I will help you. Next, it's time to get down to business!"
Gu Ling nodded, "I'll listen to you next."
"If your injury is not serious, go to Lin Mansion tonight and capture one of Lin Shuzhi's two grandsons!" Yue Mei sneered, "This should be easy for you, Lin Mansion cannot have masters! In this way, we can wait for Su Liang and Gu Ling to beg us tomorrow, hahahaha!"
"Okay. Could you please take care of Qian'er and don't let her wake up yet." Gu Ling said, leaning over to straighten Su Liang's clothes.
"Just go, nothing will happen to your baby girl!" Yue Mei said and walked over.
Gu Ling nodded, turned around, and quickly disappeared from Yue Mei's sight.
Yue Mei stood next to Su Liang and looked at her coldly, "If a useless daughter still cares so much, if you ask me, I should find another woman as soon as possible and give birth to a son."
Su Liang, who was pretending to be comatose but actually conscious, cursed secretly in his heart, and suddenly came up with an idea: Since Yue Mei has this idea, but she doesn't care about her nominal grandson Yuan Ye Yuan Ying, could it be that she has other biological children and grandchildren? , just well hidden? Otherwise, why would she have to seek refuge with Situ Xie?
Su Liang fell to the ground silently. Yue Mei snorted and tried to lift Su Liang up with crutches, but failed.
Yue Mei cursed and walked closer again, holding a cane with her iron hand and helping Su Liang with her other hand.
The next moment, Su Liang suddenly opened his eyes. The short knife in his hand was cold, and he severely cut off Yue Mei's remaining intact hand!
Yue Mei was in pain, lost her balance, and fell to the ground. Then she saw "Nangong Lin" who had left not long ago, appearing next to her like a ghost, holding something black in his hand and aiming at her left shoulder. .
"You... Gu Ling?!" Yue Mei looked horrified. The memory of being knocked off a cliff last time with severed arms and legs was so profound, how could she forget Gu Ling's eyes that were obviously calm but made her shudder? !
Everything happened very quickly. At the same time as Yue Mei opened her mouth, Gu Ling had already driven two nails into her shoulders. She felt that starting from the position of her neck, her body was quickly paralyzed from top to bottom. And because her hand was cut off by Su Liang at the beginning, the other iron hand was just a decoration, so she didn't even have the chance to use poison.
To be sure, Gu Ling and Su Liang even acted with Yue Mei for a while, just to avoid any possibility of her using poison.
"Old witch, we finally meet." Su Liang stood up and smashed his bloody severed hand into Yue Mei's face.
Yue Mei's face was spattered with blood. She stared at Su Liang and saw her walking to Gu Ling's side. As she walked, she took out a specially brought handkerchief, soaked it with medicine, and wiped her face. The disguise she wore revealed a face that made Yue Mei bite her molars in hatred as soon as she saw it...
"Do you recognize me?" Su Liang smiled half-heartedly, "But this is our first meeting. Do I look like your enemy?"
Yue Mei closed her eyes and didn't look at anything, but a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth because she was so angry.
"You can think about how to make up a story to deceive me. Before you tell me where my master and Yuan Ying are, I will cut off a piece of your flesh for every nonsense you say." Su Liang said coldly, "If I ask you and you don't say anything, I will also cut off a piece of your flesh. If you really have backbone, you can bite your tongue and commit suicide, I don't care. I know that Sister Yuan is on Xingluo Island. Nangong Lin has guessed and confessed your big secret, and I knew it before he said it. I am the granddaughter of Mo Yan and Shen Qingxue, right?"
Yue Mei's body trembled obviously, and she spit out another mouthful of blood.
Su Liang continued, "So, Mo Yan won't care about you. Although he may still want to kill me after he finds out, he is more likely to kill you, what do you think?"
Instead of interrogating Yue Mei in the woods, Gu Ling and Su Liang took her back to the Su Mansion and threw her into the dungeon with Nangong Lin. Although Nangong Lin may not be of any use in the future, keeping him for the time being may be "waste utilization". Anyway, he is completely useless and will no longer pose any threat. It doesn't matter if you kill them later.
...
Last night, after Gu Ling and Su Liang dealt with Nangong Lin and Yue Mei, it was almost dawn, and the two went to bed.
Early in the morning, everyone in the mansion gathered on the first floor of Yuanming Pavilion.
Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er were chasing and playing, and Gu Xiaonuan was in Gu Ling's arms, chasing them with her eyes, clapping her hands and laughing, and I don't know which brother she was cheering for.
"How was it? Did anyone come last night?" Cen Man asked.
Nangong Qian pulled her handkerchief. She and Qiuyue were asked to move to another place, and she didn't think much about it, but Qiuyue said it might be to prevent Nangong Lin. Others would not find them.
Su Liang nodded, "Nangong Lin is here, planning to kill Qiuyue and take Nangong Qian away. He and Yue Mei were both captured."
Qiuyue's face turned pale, and Nangong Qian lowered her head. She had some fantasies about Nangong Lin, but now she had none.
In fact, Nangong Lin was knocked down by Gu Ling before he entered the room last night, but the black mist between Qiuyue's eyebrows yesterday showed that if Gu Ling hadn't interfered, she would have been killed by Nangong Lin last night.
Su Liang said this because he hoped that Nangong Qian would no longer have any thoughts about that scumbag father. He was not worth it.
Cen Man breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." However, she also began to doubt whether Su Liang or Gu Ling had the ability to predict the future, but she didn't ask. If there is such a special ability, it's better not to say it.
After breakfast, Su Liang and Gu Ling went to the dungeon to interrogate Yue Mei.
At the same time, the Liang army once again approached the city of Xuanbei.
Mo Yan and He Wei were behind the army, looking at Xing Ji on the tower from a distance.
He Wei asked in a low voice, "Master, there will be no problem in conquering Xuanbei City today. But in case Yue Mei and Nangong Lin are useless in the capital, should I take another group there?"
Mo Yan shook his head, "Let's blow up Xuanbei City first, and then talk about Su Liang when we get back."
