A Match Made in Heaven for Both Civil and Military Champions

When entering the room, Su Liang suddenly remembered, "You will take the palace examination tomorrow? Will our matter cause you to miss the top prize you should have won?"

Duanmu Yi seemed very generous on the surface. After asking clearly, he did not embarrass them.

But it is hard to say whether Ning Jing will be treated fairly in the future.

The problem is not Duanmu Sheng, Duanmu Ao, and Duanmu Chen, but Duanmu Che, whom Duanmu Yi loves the most.

Ning Jing shook her head slightly, "I don't know."

Su Liang: ...Okay.

When Su Liang packed up and prepared to read a book before going to bed, she heard a movement in the courtyard.

She subconsciously thought that Yan Shiba came to see her again. It happened that she also had something to find Yan Shiba, so she immediately put down the book and came out.

"Su Xiaoliang." Lin Yu stood under the moon, his neat teeth glowing white, and the shadow of the dark night could not stop him from smiling when he saw Su Liang.

But because of Duanmu Che's words in the palace tonight, Su Liang guessed that Lin Yu might come to apologize or lobby? Afraid that she would no longer continue to treat Duanmu Che? Then he said calmly, "Is there something wrong?"

Lin Qi sighed, "You really annoyed me."

"It's not you." Su Liang said.

Lin Qi laughed, "That's good, you must not be angry with me because of my cousin's behavior, I am innocent!"

"It's so late, what's the matter with you?" Su Liang asked again.

Lin Yu stood there and sighed, "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm going home."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Is it because of what happened tonight?"

Lin Yu nodded, "I guess so. I just suddenly felt that it was boring for me to come to the capital. It was probably the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life."

Su Liang shook his head slightly, "Life is still long, don't jump to conclusions too early."

Lin Yu coughed lightly, "Will you be even more stupid in the future? Thank you, Su Xiaoliang!"

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu glanced at Ning Jing's still lighted room, and suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Your engagement with Ning Jing is fake, right?"

"Why do you say that?" Su Liang asked back.

Lin Qi smiled, "You said before that we were just brother and sister. I don't think you would lie to me."

Su Liang replied with a perfunctory but meaningful sentence, "Whatever you think."

Lin Qi's smile deepened, "Okay, that's true. But if you don't like Ning Jing one day, you can consider me. Although I'm not as good-looking as Ning Jing, nor as rich and talented as him, I have a citrus orchard! You can eat whatever you want!"

Su Liang smiled, "I bought your citrus orchard, wouldn't it be easier?"

Lin Qi held his forehead, "Not for sale!"

Ning Jing's door opened, and he walked out with something in his hand.

"Little Jingjing, I'm leaving." Lin Qi smiled.

Ning Jing walked up to him and handed the thing in his hand over, "For you."

Lin Qi was stunned, took it and saw that it was a palm-sized wooden sculpture of an eagle, flying high with wings spread, very delicate.

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, "You made it? Not bad, I like it very much, thank you!"

Although he suspected that Ning Jing gave him the gift in order to persuade him to quit, he was not willing to take Ning Jing's girlfriend.

But to be honest, although he didn't have much contact with her, he liked Ning Jing's personality very much. He was indifferent but not cold, principled and reasonable.

"Does Su Xiaoliang have a gift for me?" Lin Qi asked with a smile.

Su Liang thought for a while and shook his head, "No."

Lin Qi:... So his friend is really Ning Jing, Su Xiaoliang is so sad!

Lin Qi took a step forward, hugged Ning Jing, and immediately let go, "I'm leaving. Su Xiaoliang, you must protect my friend Xiao Jingjing!"

Obviously speaking in a sarcastic way.

Su Liang nodded, "I'll try my best."

Watching Lin's figure disappear into the night, Su Liang sighed, "Duanmu Che is such a dog!"

Ning Jing shook his head, "Don't insult dogs."

"Will someone want to kill you and take me as their wife?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing nodded, "I'm looking forward to it."

Su Liang said that Master Ning had indeed not killed anyone for some time, and it was understandable that he was itching.

...

The day after the martial arts exam.

Two explosive news were circulating in the capital.

First, the newly promoted martial arts champion Su Liang had already been engaged, and her fiancé was her sworn brother, Ning Jing, the head of the Ning family, a tea merchant in Xunyang.

Second, Nian Jincheng, the second son of the Nian family, who was originally the first among the young generals of the Gan Kingdom, was secretly still colluding with the rebellious Gu Ling.

The fact that the crown prince and several princes proposed to Su Liang at the palace banquet was not spread out, and someone must have suppressed the news behind the scenes.

Su Liang believed that the crown prince Duanmu Sheng was the most likely.

Today is the palace examination for civil servants. Whether Ning Jing can pass the imperial examination will be known soon.

In the imperial examination, except for Duanmu Che who was seriously ill at that time, all the adult princes also entered the palace to take an exam, but the result was kept secret.

After breakfast, Su Liang drove Ning Jing to the palace to take the palace examination, because Ning Jing sent her last night.

Then, Su Liang drove to the direction of Huguo Temple.

So, a piece of news spread quickly.

Yesterday's martial arts champion personally drove a carriage to send her fiancé to the palace, and then rushed to Huguo Temple to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless Ning Jing to win the championship.

What a "martial arts champion doting on her husband" that makes others envious.

Xing Yusheng went out and heard that everyone outside was talking about Su Liang and Ning Jing, and felt very happy.

He went to Lin's house to pick up Lin Xueqing to go to the Duke's Mansion together, but was stopped by Lin Shuzhi, who asked what happened in the palace last night.

After Xing Yusheng finished speaking, Lin Shuzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Wouldn't it be better if these two kids got married earlier?"

Xing Yusheng knew as soon as he heard that his father-in-law felt the same way as him. Although it looks very real, the engagement between the two people is, in all likelihood, still fake.

If it was true, it made no sense that the people closest to them didn't know anything before yesterday. Even every time they tried to bring Ning Jing and Su Liang together, they were always perfunctory.

"This marriage is different from the previous ones in the small village. It will soon be known to the whole world. Unless both of them abandon their current identities, they are husband and wife." Xing Yusheng smiled, "Even if they are not together, there is no third party. The individual can affect their relationship, so let it be.”

Lin Shuzhi nodded, "That's right. I hope everything goes well for Jing'er today." Don't let anyone trip you up.

Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing were about to go out when they saw Lin Bojun coming back from outside in a hurry.

"Second brother, where have you been this morning?" Lin Xueqing asked.

Lin Bojun sighed deeply, "I went to inquire about General Nian."

Lin Xueqing frowned, "Is his sister's sudden betrayal of him simply a slander? If he really has contact with Prince Gu, wouldn't the Nian family's crime be even greater?"

Being implicated in treason is much more serious than imperial examination fraud.

Xing Yusheng sighed softly, "I also think that the fifth young lady of the Nian family is crazy. She talks about things that are not true at all. Nian Jincheng is an outlier in the Nian family, and he is probably the only upright person in that family. Those people just can't see him having an easy time. ”

In fact, Xing Yusheng didn't want to speak for Nian Jincheng. He cared more about Gu Ling, who had saved his mother. He believed that Gu Ling's ability to become good friends with Nian Jincheng reflected Nian Jincheng's character.

Lin Bojun's face was solemn, "But the court will never let this kind of thing pass, even if it is empty talk. Besides, General Nian and the man named Gu used to have close contacts. Now there are rumors outside that General Nian invited himself last year The purpose of hunting down Gu Ling is to let him go. He and Nian's family were originally in the prison, but now they are being held for interrogation. "

Xing Yusheng said seriously, "Second brother, you have worked with General Nian once and you know his character, but you'd better not get involved in this matter."

Xing Yusheng didn't want the Lin family to be caught. Then the trouble would be big and the Xing family wouldn't be able to protect it.

Especially Lin Bojun as a military general.

The court was most afraid of rebellion by military generals with troops in hand. Therefore, it is difficult for Nian Jincheng to escape guilt this time.

"I know." Lin Bojun nodded, "You don't have to worry about this, just go and play."

…

Su Liang went to Huguo Temple alone, but instead of asking the Bodhisattva to bless Ning Jingzhong as the rumor said, he went to find Yan Shiba.

She didn't say a few words to Chengyun last time, so Su Liang didn't know where to find him, so she asked a young monk.

"Uncle Chengyun is sorting out scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion," the young monk said.

Chengyun is not very old, but his master is senior, so many young monks in Huguo Temple call him uncle.

Su Liang followed the direction pointed by the young monk and found the Sutra Pavilion of Huguo Temple.

Seeing a seven-story tower in the distance, she walked around for a while before reaching the outside of the Sutra Pavilion, where she was stopped by an old monk.

"Donor, this is the forbidden area of ​​Huguo Temple." The old monk said.

Su Liang nodded, "I want to find Master Chengyun. I heard that he is in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion. Can you help me call him out?"

Seeing the old monk frowning, Su Liang explained, "He once helped me, and I'm here to say thank you."

"Donor, please wait here." The old monk responded.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Su Liang saw Chengyun coming out behind the old monk.

"Amitabha." Chengyun clasped his hands together, "Almsgiver Su, why are you looking for this young monk?"

Su Liang also clasped his hands together and said, "Master Chengyun, please take a step to speak."

Chengyun greeted the old monk and took Su Liang to the dining hall of Huguo Temple, "Donor Su, you can bring some vegetarian food back."

"Okay. I'm here today to ask you something. Has anyone come to see you recently?" Su Liang asked.

Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, "Donor Su, are you talking about Miss Yan Jiujiu?"

Chengyun rescued Yan Shiba by chance. Yan Shiba called herself Yan Jiujiu and asked Cheng Yun to send her to Su Liang's house.

Su Liang nodded, "It seems she has come to see you?"

Chengyun sighed softly, "Donor Su, please advise her when you see Donor Yan again. The young monk is a monk, so please stop pestering her."

Su Liang: ...not surprised at all.

"When did she come to see you? What did she say?" Su Liang asked.

"Five days ago. I said some unintelligible words." Cheng Yun looked helpless.

"Just once?" Su Liang asked.

Chengyun frowned and glanced at Su Liang, "Yes, she only came once."

Su Liang coughed lightly, "I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to find her, but I don't know where she went."

"How did Donor Su know that Donor Yan would come to see the young monk?" Chengyun asked.

Su Liang said seriously, "The last time I saw her, she said she wanted to thank you in person for saving her life."

Chengyun shook his head and said nothing.

When they arrived at the Zhaitang, Su Liang ordered a few vegetarian dishes that he had tasted and thought were very good, and planned to take them away.

"If she comes looking for you again, please tell me that I have something to ask her." After Su Liang said that, he took Su Zhai and said goodbye to Chengyun.

…

After driving down the mountain, Su Liang went to wait for Ning Jing outside the palace.

She just wanted to repay Ningjing for waiting for her last night, nothing else.

But now her every move attracts attention.

Therefore, a new plot was added to "The Story of Wu Zhuangyuan's Beloved Husband", "Silent Waiting".

The contrast between this and Su Liang's fierce and domineering attitude on the competition stage yesterday was so great that it made people say, she loves him so much!

When the palace gate opened again, it was already afternoon.

Su Liang sat in the carriage, ate some cold vegetarian food, and took a short rest.

Ning Jing walked out of the palace gate and saw his own carriage at a glance.

He walked over, thinking that no one was there, and lifted the curtain, and saw Su Liang leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Is it over?" Su Liang opened his eyes, saw Ning Jing, and asked hurriedly, "What's the result?"

"Guess." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang chuckled, "You let me guess, of course I guess you are the top scholar."

Ning Jing nodded, indicating that Su Liang guessed correctly.

Although Duanmu Yi personally selected the top three in the palace examination, there were also many great scholars on the scene to review, and the princes were also there.

Ning Jing was the top scholar, and there was no dispute, because he had a meticulous mind, fluent answers, and the debate with a certain great scholar was also quite exciting.

"Great!" Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "I was afraid that I would cause you to fail to win the first place in the imperial examination."

She conceded that the first place should be Ning Jing's. If she didn't win, there must be something fishy going on.

Su Liang still drove the car, Ning Jing got on it, and the two went home together.

Duanmu Chen pushed Duanmu Che's wheelchair out of the palace and saw this scene.

Duanmu Chen smiled gently, "In fact, the fifth brother knew Su Liang earlier, but unfortunately, it's hard to say about fate."

Duanmu Che asked back with a gloomy face, "Does the fourth emperor like her?"

Duanmu Chen nodded, "Of course she likes her, but it seems that she only has Ning Jing in her heart and eyes."

...

After the news that Ning Jing won the first place in the civil examination spread, "The story of the martial arts champion's loving husband" became "The heavenly match of the civil and martial arts champions", which became a good story.

In the afternoon, friends came to the house to congratulate, but saw the martial arts champion Su Liang wearing an apron and baking cute cookies.

At night, the friends dispersed, and Zheng'er took away a box of cookies, and the rest were for Ning Jing.

When Ning Jing was reading at night, he could see a plate of crescent moons when he looked up, but he had clearly told Su Liang that he liked the star-shaped ones...

It was late at night, and Su Liang was about to go to bed when the window suddenly opened. Her expression froze, and when she turned her head, she heard Yan Shiba's artificial voice, "Sister Liang~~~Sister is here~~~"

Su Liang let Yan Shiba hug her, "Sister Liang, Xiao Yuner said you were looking for sister? What's the matter? Did you miss me?"

Su Liang was speechless, "You really went to find Chengyun again."

"I was almost beaten by the old monk who was guarding the door. It's really hateful!" Yan Shiba snorted.

Su Liang felt that Yan Shiba should not hurt or kill people in Huguo Temple. It was good that Chengyun had someone to protect him, otherwise he would be eaten by this witch.

"Hey! What I promised you is really full of twists and turns! It is said that Nian Jincheng is Gu Ling's only friend. I think he should know something. When he returned to the capital, he was arrested before I had time to find him! Damn it!" Yan Shiba was very angry, "If Nian Jincheng was in the prison, I would have rescued him tonight! The latest news is that he is probably locked up somewhere in the palace! I have to go check it out again!"

Su Liang: ...An unexpected surprise. She found Yan Shiba just for this matter, but she didn't expect Yan Shiba to find a way to save Nian Jincheng himself. The purpose was to find Gu Ling?

And this is the reward that Yan Shiba owed Su Liang for saving her life.

In this way, Su Liang doesn't have to beg her anymore.

"By the way, sister Liang, why did you find me? Tell me quickly, and I'll go to the palace to have a look!" Yan Shiba asked.

Su Liang sighed, "I'm engaged to Ning Jing, so let's forget about looking for Gu Ling, right?"

Yan Shiba jumped up, "What? You're engaged to that pretty boy named Ning? Really? Damn it, he took advantage of you when I was away, didn't he? I'm going to chop him up right now!"

"You can't chop him up." Su Liang grabbed Yan Shiba.

Yan Shiba snorted coldly, "How can I break my promise to you! I must find Gu Ling, and then you can kick Ning Jing! There is no room for negotiation! I'm leaving! Wait for my good news!"

"Wait!" Su Liang said again, "If you rescue Nian Jincheng, don't make things difficult for him, he is Gu Ling's friend."

Yan Shiba smiled, suddenly moved closer, looked into Su Liang's eyes and said, "You grew up in Beijing, and you have known Gu Ling for a long time, right? It's not because I heard that he is beautiful that you asked me to find him, he is your sweetheart!"

Su Liang blinked and nodded, "You found it."

Yan Shiba rubbed Su Liang's hair, "Don't worry, sister will find him!"
