I Hope He Can Wake up (Second Update)

The atmosphere was silent.

Before coming, Mu Fei had thought that with Su Liang's temper, she would probably refuse immediately or use her best nonsense to perfunctorily deal with his request.

Who knew the result was unexpected.

Su Liang frowned slightly, staring at Ning Jing's pen holder on the table, and remained silent for a while, as if he was seriously considering it.

The corners of Mu Fei's lips curled up slightly. He came in person, of course he hoped that Su Liang would agree.

After a while, Mu Fei reached out to take the pen holder, "Where did you buy it? It's very special."

Su Liang's hand was faster, and he took the pen holder first, "Ning Jing doesn't like others touching his things."

Mu Fei's face was a little dark, "Aren't you someone else?"

"We are sworn brothers and sisters." Su Liang looked serious.

Mu Fei snorted, "Who cares about a broken pen holder? Let's talk business. How have you considered it?"

The pen holder was on the table. Su Liang held it with both hands, looked at Mu Fei, and said, "I don't quite understand the intention of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"I thought I made it very clear." Mu Fei said.

Su Liang shook his head, "I know what His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wants me to do, but I don't understand why it's me? If nothing unexpected happens, General Nian will escort His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince back to Beijing. I'm just a weak woman who can do a few fancy moves."

Mu Fei heard the last sentence and glared at Su Liang, "Do you think I believe it? Isn't it your handiwork to crush the Ning family to ashes?"

Su Liang shook his head, "I swear to God, it's not."

"That means Ning Jing is hiding his true power?" Mu Fei's eyes suddenly became deep.

Su Liang sighed slightly, "Have you ever heard of the saying, money makes the devil work?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Fei frowned.

"If I say that Ning Jing hired a killer for help at a high price, would His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince believe it?" Su Liang said.

Mu Fei was stunned for a moment, "I believe it. But I can't hire a killer to escort me. What if the one I hired is someone who was hired to kill me?"

"It is indeed possible." Su Liang said, "I am just saying that the Ning family incident has nothing to do with me. I am not suggesting that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince hire a killer. It is inappropriate and unnecessary."

"Don't beat around the bush. If you ask me why I chose you, I can only say that I believe you are very capable." Mu Fei smiled.

Su Liang said seriously, "Thank you, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, for your support. But if His Royal Highness's guess is true, then I have my own reasons for hiding my strength. If it can be easily exposed, why should I hide it?"

Mu Fei snorted, "Are you rejecting me?"

"Actually, what I want to say is that although I helped His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince by chance before, and although we will have to cooperate in the future, please don't be too polite to me. Transactions are business, and official matters should be handled impartially. I will not give up a single penny of what I deserve." Su Liang said half-jokingly, "I once heard a saying that if people in the royal family act on their emotions, they will have no future."

Mu Fei's face froze, and he stood up abruptly, staring at Su Liang, and soon sat back down, pursing his lips tightly, without saying a word.

Su Liang's clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Under her gaze, Mu Fei even felt a little embarrassed...

Because, Su Liang's words just now were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mu Fei's heart, making him sober up from the state of wandering between reason and emotion in recent days!

Of course, Mu Fei, who was born in the royal family and has made it to the present, understands the truth better than Su Liang, and he has always warned himself that at any time, he should not be emotional, and it is best not to have emotions.

But at this moment, he realized that he appeared here because he seemed to be emotionally affected by Su Liang.

In short, he was moved by Su Liang, although only a little.

If Duanmu Chen, who put interests above all else, had been, it would be impossible for him to entrust his safety to a girl, even if this girl was actually very smart and seemed to be very hidden.

As Su Liang said just now, it is not impossible, but it is not necessary.

If he has the ability to investigate the iron ore smuggling case, but he can't even return to the capital alive, don't dream of the highest position.

It is best not to do unnecessary things for a person of Mu Fei's status.

Looking back, from the time they met until now, Su Liang had a completely transactional attitude towards Mu Fei, and did not even reveal the slightest intention of making friends with him.

Because Su Liang knew that as a prince who wanted to gain power, he had no real friends, only interests.

Indeed.

And Mu Fei did not expect that he, who appeared as an absolute rational strategist at the beginning, would lose the game first.

"If His Highness the Fourth Prince has no other instructions, I will go out to build a snowman? Since you are here, stay for lunch. This meal is free, just treat it as a practice for His Highness." Su Liang got up and went out.

Mu Fei looked at her slender back and breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he felt suppressed by a woman, although she had no intention of doing so.

Mu Fei thought for a moment, if he got such a smart and transparent woman, would his future path be smoother?

But soon, he regained his reason and gave up this idea.

Because he was not sure that he could control Su Liang, or even completely unsure. Su Liang had no interest in him, and it was very obvious from the beginning to now.

A forced melon is not only not sweet, but may even turn a friend into an enemy.

Even if they are not friends now and will not be friends in the future, it is already an advantage to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship and prevent the capable person from being lured away by the enemy.

Mu Luo, who wanted to understand, walked out of the room, and Chang An immediately came up to meet him. He secretly looked at Mu Luo's expression, noticed that he was in a good mood, and asked with a smile, "It seems that Miss Su agreed?"

Mu Luo snorted, "How could she agree to come with me just to calm down that pretty boy?"

After saying this, Mu Luo rolled up his sleeves and planned to join the snowman-making game.

Changan was confused. Since Su Liang refused, why was his master so happy? Going to build a snowman? What happened to this world? Why do I feel like after meeting Su Liang, there are a lot of question marks floating around his head every day...

"Master Mu?" Bai Xiaohu looked surprised. He knew this was the county magistrate, but he actually wanted to build a snowman with him. How scary! If he turns around and tells his friends, he will definitely be regarded as bragging!

Mu Luo smiled kindly, "What's your name?"

"Bai Xiaohu." Bai Xiaohu's face tightened.

"Oh, this is a tiger." Mu Luo looked at the snowman Nian Jincheng and Bai Xiaohu were building with a very understanding look.

Bai Xiaohu was a little confused. Should he correct the county magistrate? What if the adults are unhappy?

The pillar opposite said with a smile, "That uncle is so stupid, he doesn't even know a wild boar!"

Mu Luo:......

Changan tilted his head, trying hard to hold back his laughter...

Nian Jin became the one to break the awkward atmosphere and asked, "Have you ever seen a wild boar?"

Mu Hao glanced at Nian Jincheng coolly and said, "No. Go and catch one now."

Bai Xiaohu plucked up the courage and said, "It's too cold. The wild boars are hiding and they can't be caught! Sister Su Liang and I went up the mountain and caught a huge wild boar. We sold it for a lot of money!"

Just as Mu Luo was about to ask about the details of the wild boar capture, he heard Yan Shiba shout, "Xiao Liang'er, come here!"

Mu Luo knew that there was Su Jiujiu, but he didn't know where he came from.

Su Liang stood up and went over, and heard Yan Shiba say, "Take me out, I want some air."

Su Liang didn't move, "I'll give you a chance to say it again."

Yan Shiba rolled his eyes and said in a sweet voice, "Sister Liang, I'm so bored. I really want to go out for some air, but my leg is injured and I can't walk on my own. Why don't you hug me? I beg you." Already..."

Su Liang got goosebumps all over her body, "Forget it, you should just speak human language."

She first moved the deck chair Su Dakuan gave to Yan Shiba under the eaves, and then took Yan Shiba out with the quilt.

Mu Luo turned around and Yan Shiba gave him a wink.

Mu Luo had a strange look on his face, thinking that Su Liang's sister was such a casual woman, it was really speechless.

One day in the future, Mu Luo saw Yan Shiba's strength and learned her true identity, feeling like his face was swollen. That’s a story for another day.

Su Liang made lunch and Ning Jing lit the fire. In the end, the main people building snowmen on both sides became Mu Luo and Chang'an master and servant Du Nian Jincheng.

By the time Su Liang finished cooking, the snowman was also finished.

A big wild boar.

A fine horse.

Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi were very satisfied. They ran around their snowman and cheered, extremely excited.

Mu Luo chuckled, "I have seen a wild boar."

Chang'an thought that he was lucky that his master was in a good mood today and would not let him go up the mountain to hunt wild boars on a whim.

Nian Jincheng, who started building a wild boar snowman, finally took over from Ningjing and finished building a horse.

This was a pleasure he had never enjoyed since he was a child. The cold snow seemed to have warmth, which warmed his heart.

In the kitchen, Ning Jing asked in a low voice, "Why are you inviting someone to dinner?"

Su Liang hummed, "Isn't it just to keep your friend?"

At the same time, in the courtyard, Chang An thought they had to leave, but Mu Luo said with a smile on his face, "Miss Su invited me to dinner today."

Chang'an said that the sun really came out in the west, and Miss Su, the robber who specially searched for his master, had changed her gender?

"General Nian, please stay with us." Mu Luo's tone sounded as if Nian Jincheng had taken advantage of him, "I'll tell Miss Su."

Nian Jincheng nodded, "Thank you, Master Mu. It's better to be respectful than to obey." In fact, he didn't even know what Mu Luo asked him to do.

Mu Luo gave up his original plan and did not explain to Nian Jincheng that the matter was over. He only said that he would make preparations and leave for Beijing the day after.

Aunt Bai came to look for her grandson to go home for dinner, but she saw that Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu had already gone to Su Liang's dinner table and were eating happily. The magistrate of Bei'an County was sitting next to them.

Su Liang knew that Aunt Bai would come, so she specially left a large bowl of pork ribs for her to take back.

Aunt Bai knew Su Liang's temperament, so she thought she would tell Old Man Bai when she got back and ask him to bake some dried sweet potatoes for Su Liang and Ningjing to eat. It was delicious but very troublesome, and it was rarely made at home before.

After dinner, Ningjing packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. With Su Liang's permission, the two children went to ask their friends in the village to see the snowman they had built.

Su Bai, Li Zheng, learned yesterday that Su Liang and Ning Jing were back. He didn't come because it was snowing heavily. He came after dinner and saw a carriage parked outside. There were guests at home. He wanted to go to Bai's house first, but Su Liang was stopped by Su Bai. See through the window and invite him in.

"Then we'll say goodbye." Mu Luo stood up.

"Let's go slowly without seeing him off." Su Liang said.

When he reached the door, Mu Luo suddenly stopped and glanced at Chang'an and Nian Jincheng.

The two understood and went out first.

Mu Luo smiled slightly at Su Liang, "I really didn't think twice about coming here today. I couldn't talk about that matter in the first place. My father has not yet decided what to do. However, given the cooperative relationship between you and me, I can tell you something, The mastermind is not King Beijing.”

Su Liang nodded, "Thank you."

"But, the final result is still unknown." Mu Fei said another hint.

Su Liang understood. The reason why the result of the iron ore smuggling case cannot be made public for the time being is that the result at the factual level may not be completely consistent with the result that the emperor wants.

The safety of Beijing Prince's Mansion does not depend on the evidence in Mu Fei's hands, but on the mind of the person on the dragon throne.

Mu Fei took Chang'an away and said that as long as he arrived in Beijing safely, the contract signed with Su Liang before would be prepared as soon as possible, and he looked forward to meeting in Beijing next year.

Nian Jincheng followed silently, although he actually had a lot to say to Ning Jing and Su Liang, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance.

"Uncle Bai, sit down first, I'll go wash my hands." Su Liang smiled and greeted Su Bai to come in and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Su Bai hurriedly said, "Hey, go ahead, don't be polite to me!"

Su Liang went into the kitchen, Ning Jing was washing dishes.

"Mu Fei said it's not Beijing Prince." Su Liang came to share the news with Ning Jing.

"Good thing." Ning Jing said. From the perspective that Su Liang regarded Xing Yusheng as a friend.

Su Liang nodded, "It's a good thing, at least Beijing Wangfu still has a chance to survive." If the mastermind of the iron ore smuggling is really Beijing Wang, then there is no recovery.

"If you want to live, you have to be willing to give up." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You mean, it would be best for Beijing Wang to ask for a reduction of his fiefdom, return the fiefdom, and show his loyalty to the court?"

"The emperor doesn't want anyone to criticize him for killing all the descendants of meritorious officials." Ning Jing said.

There are now three princes with fiefdoms, all of whom are descendants of founding heroes, and their fiefdoms are in the north, west and south respectively.

Reducing the fiefdom may not be a bad thing, but if this step is taken hastily, it is easy to cause civil strife.

In fact, there were four kings of different surnames who were to be canonized, and there was also a Qin family. But the Qin family asked to stay in the capital, gave up the throne, and was granted the title of Duke of the country.

"It all depends on whether Prince Beijing can figure it out." Su Liang sighed, "I'm going to write a letter to Xing Yusheng. He must be very uneasy right now. Even if Prince Beijing chose the wrong path, if the emperor just gets rid of the Xing family, maybe Xing Yusheng will have a chance to save his grandmother."

"Mu Fei likes you?" Ning Jing suddenly changed the subject without warning. Although it was a question, it was affirmative.

Su Liang shrugged, "He was just confused for a while. After all, he and the second prince are enemies, so they can cooperate for the time being. I don't like bad teammates, I hope he can wake up."
