Get Rid of that Woman as Soon as Possible

In March, the capital city is already full of spring flowers, but the northern border is still chilly.

Riding a horse in the wilderness, the wind is blowing, and looking at the distant mountains, they are still covered with white snow.

This is the first time that Su Liang has traveled such a long distance since his crossing, and he has seen the changing natural scenery from the central to the northern part of the country.

"Rest here, and we will reach Xuanbei City tomorrow." Ning Jing said, and took Su Liang into a valley.

Find a place that is sheltered from the wind, tie the horse to a tree, and walk up the mountain.

Su Liang followed with a bag, "Have you been here?"

"Yes." Ning Jing's voice came from the front.

After walking for a while, Ning Jing looked back and saw Su Liang distanced himself from him and squatted on the ground to dig something.

Ning Jing turned back again.

"Good medicine." Su Liang happily raised a dried grass.

Ning Jing accurately reported the name of the medicinal material. He had also read all the medical books that Su Liang had read.

Although she had no practical experience in medicine, she had learned a lot in theory.

Su Liang put away the herbs, and the two of them reached the middle of the mountain. Ning Jing walked to a place covered with weeds, moved two large stones, and revealed a cave entrance.

Su Liang was a little surprised, "Have you lived here before?"

Ning Jing nodded, motioned Su Liang to stay outside, and he leaned in.

Su Liang looked around and found that she could see the gate of Xuanbei City from where she was.

When Ning Jing's voice came from the cave, Su Liang had already gathered a pile of dry firewood to make a fire later.

The height of the cave required Su Liang to lower her head to enter, but after entering, she found that it was quite spacious.

The sun had not yet set, and with the light coming in from the cave entrance, Su Liang found that the stone wall had traces of being repaired by humans, and it was quite flat.

There was a straw mat on the ground, which was surprisingly clean. Su Liang guessed that it was left by Ning Jing when he came last time, and he covered it with a piece of cloth.

The place where the fire was made was sunken into a circle, and the ground was black from being smoked.

Su Liang put the gift inside and carried the dry firewood in.

It was getting dark, and the temperature in the mountains was also much lower.

Su Liang lit a bonfire, and used clean wood chips to string the bread used as dry food, and roasted it on the fire.

Ning Jing bought a small iron pot on the way, and it was already hot after he came back with water.

He brought in a wooden stake from outside, and placed a plate and two bowls on it.

Su Liang baked a cake and put it on the plate.

The cakes were all baked, and Ning Jing went out for a long time and didn't come back. Su Liang was about to go out to look for him when he saw him come in.

She smelled the smell of raw meat. Ning Jing brought back a clean pheasant.

Su Liang was surprised, "I thought you didn't know how to kill chickens."

In the past, Su Liang did this kind of thing at home.

"Occasionally." Ning Jing said, took out a knife, and cut the chicken into pieces.

Su Liang opened the bag and took out the spices inside. This is what Su Liang prepared himself. Ning Jing brought it from Beijing and hadn't used it on the way.

The two drank some water and ate half a plate of baked cakes first.

When the chicken soup gave off a fragrance, Su Liang sighed, "Finally, I can have a bite of hot food."

The moon in the mountains was bright and clear. Su Liang and Ning Jing sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave, each holding a bowl to drink chicken soup.

At this time, it had only been six and a half days since they set out from Beijing, and the speed of travel was faster than expected.

The body was really tired, because the rest time was limited every day, and it was not good to eat or sleep.

"I thought you had been in Beijing and lived in Huguo Temple before the incident of the Gu family, and went to Sujia Village after the incident." Su Liang said, "You rarely saw people in the Huguo Temple during the years you were in Huguo Temple. Did you sneak out to play?"

"Sometimes." Ning Jing said.

Two chicken legs, one for each person.

They hadn't eaten meat for a few days. The two of them finished the meat and drank the soup.

Su Liang felt that the fatigue of his body had faded a lot. Eating meat is the only way.

"I don't know what will happen tomorrow, so have a good sleep tonight and recharge your energy." Su Liang yawned, "Who will go to bed first?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "Together."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment. She didn't think much about it. For safety reasons, she thought that the two of them should take turns to guard the night in the first and second half of the night.

Ning Jing didn't have any ambiguity, "No need to guard."

After extinguishing the open fire, Ning Jing let Su Liang lie on the mat. There was hay underneath, which was not hard, so he could use his bag as a pillow and cover himself with his coat.

Ning Jing sat by the entrance of the cave and closed his eyes.

"We'll switch at three o'clock. Call me when you wake up." Su Liang said, yawned again, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep due to sleepiness.

Ning Jing didn't open his eyes either, and didn't move, like a sculpture.

...

When Su Liang opened his eyes, it was already bright.

She sat up and subconsciously looked at where Ning Jing sat last night. She found no one there, frowned slightly, and stood up quickly.

After leaving the cave, she saw a thin and tall figure bathing in the morning sun coming up from the bottom of the mountain. The ordinary appearance of the disguise could not hide the aloof and dustless temperament.

"I'm going to feed the horses." Ning Jing said, "Pack up and go."

Without lighting a fire, the two drank some water that had been boiled last night and had cooled down, restored the cave entrance to its original state, and then went down the mountain and rode through the valley. Xuanbei City appeared in sight from afar.

Liangguo, located in the north of Ganguo, has always been at odds with Ganguo. The last war was three years ago. Both countries suffered heavy casualties and were deadlocked, so they signed a truce agreement.

But Liang State has a cold climate, barren land, and few resources. It has never stopped thinking about invading Gan State. In the past year, the northern border has not been peaceful.

However, Liang State tried several times, but the two sides did not fight. On the surface, the two countries are still in a peaceful period.

Xuanbei City is a must-go place for Gan State to Liang State, and there are many merchants who travel between the two countries to trade goods.

Su Liang and Ning Jing disguised themselves as brothers who went to Liang State to buy furs. They showed the silver bills they brought and "distributed" some to the soldiers guarding the city. Then they entered the city smoothly, found an inconspicuous inn, and booked a small courtyard.

Put down the luggage and go out to eat.

Ning Jing came and took Su Liang into a tavern that looked quite simple from the outside, but was very lively inside.

The men who were drinking and bragging saw two foreigners coming, and they didn't pay much attention. There are all kinds of people coming and going here, and Su Liang and Ning Jing are nothing special.

Ning Jing ordered wine and food.

While waiting for the food to be served, Su Liang heard people at the next table talking about the second son of General Wan's mansion taking another concubine the day before yesterday.

A man lowered his voice, unable to hide his indignation, "All the pretty girls in the city are taken by the second son of Wan!"

Su Liang was furious when he heard this, and immediately thought of Wu Huaian who had harmed many girls in Bei'an County.

These second-generation descendants, relying on the high heaven and far emperor, regard themselves as local overlords and do whatever they want.

"Be careful, if someone hears it and spreads it to the ears of the second son of Wan, your life will be in danger!" An old man snorted.

"Early in the morning, I saw the two sons of the Wan family leading troops out of the north gate. I wonder if the bastards from the north are here to cause trouble again!" A middle-aged man said.

"If they come, we will fight back!" A man slammed the table, "I heard that those barbarians can't even get enough food. I think they should come to beg for food with bowls in hand as soon as possible. Do you still want to fight with us?"

There was a burst of laughter in the tavern.

In fact, it was true. Liangguo has a perennial food shortage, and the people often have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and freeze to death. The natural conditions are much worse than those of Ganguo.

This is also the main reason why Liangguo will not give up invading Ganguo.

Su Liang heard the useful information she got, that the father and son of the Wan family in Xuanbei City should not know that there was a major change in the capital, otherwise the second son of Wan would not have the leisure to take a concubine, as if today was just an ordinary day.

The wine and food came.

The dishes were very generous and roughly cooked, but they had a unique flavor.

Ning Jing only poured half a glass of wine for Su Liang. She took a sip to taste it. It was so spicy that she put it down.

Ning Jing drank two glasses without changing his expression, and did not drink again.

The two left the tavern and walked around Xuanbei City. They did not approach the military camp and went back to the inn.

"From the time point of view, even if Wanshan doesn't know yet, he will soon receive the news from the capital." Su Liang analyzed, "We have to act tonight."

"Well, go to sleep." Ning Jing stood up after saying that, "Go back to your room."

Su Liang:...

After another nap, when Su Liang woke up again, he felt refreshed and all the fatigue of the past few days was gone.

At night, the two of them changed to a big tavern for dinner. They heard that the two sons of the Wan family who led the troops out of the city in the morning had returned to the city in the evening.

"The Liang country bastards are here again. General Wan received the news early and sent the two sons to lead the troops out of the city and beat them back far away!" A man said loudly.

The restaurant was full of praise for the father and son of the Wan family, which shows that they have a very high prestige in Xuanbei City.

"I heard that General Wan's previous injury has relapsed. I really hope that there is a miracle doctor who can cure him. Our Gan country is still counting on him to guard!" Someone said sincerely.

Su Liang thought, she is a doctor, but it's a pity that she can't go to Wanshan to treat him rashly. With his identity, he must be very wary of strangers around him.

The two returned to the inn after dinner. Not long after, they blew out the lights, put on night clothes, covered their faces with black scarves, left the inn quietly, and went to the General Wan Mansion in Xuanbei City.

The General's Mansion is heavily guarded day and night. The two kept their distance and observed for a while. When the soldiers changed shifts, they sneaked into the General's Mansion.

The General's Mansion covers a large area, but only the three adjacent courtyards are lit. If nothing unexpected happens, it is the residence of the three fathers and sons of the Wan family.

Wanshan's wife is in the capital, and the two daughters-in-law were originally in Xuanbei City. After they became pregnant, they were sent back to the capital. It was also Duanmu Yi's idea.

However, the three of them were not short of women. Wan Shan and the eldest son Wan Cong each had a concubine to serve them. The second son Wan Lin had eight concubines. When they got pregnant, they would be sent to the capital. After giving birth, they did not bring back any more. Including the new concubine the day before yesterday, there were now three of them.

After Su Liang and Ning Jing exchanged glances, they first chose a yard that did not look like Wan Shan's.

Ning Jing went there first to make sure that no one would find him, and then Su Liang approached.

Su Liang hid behind a big tree, staring at Ning Jing, and saw him leaning against the back wall, waiting for his signal.

Who knew that after Ning Jing stood for a while, he returned to Su Liang's side.

"No one?" Su Liang felt strange. He had to listen for a while to make sure there was no one.

"It's Wan Lin." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang frowned, "You can also listen to what he is doing."

"And his concubines." Ning Jing looked calm.

Su Liang understood instantly, "Oh, let's change one." There is no need to listen to some things that are not suitable for children, they will dirty your ears.

The two moved and entered another yard.

It was Ningjing who went first. This time he listened for a long time without giving any sign to Su Liang. Su Liang hid in the corner and waited patiently.

Ning Jing finally came back and said, "No one."

Su Liang: ...Okay. No one lights any lamps, what a waste.

In this way, the two arrived at the third target courtyard.

At a glance, you can tell that this is the main courtyard. Not surprisingly, it is the residence of Wan Shan.

Not long after Ning Jing approached, she silently gestured in the direction of Su Liang.

Su Liang slowly approached and listened to the sounds coming from the room.

First, a young man said, "I didn't expect that the emperor would depose the prince! Does he really want Duanmu Chen to be the prince?"

After a moment, a middle-aged man responded, "Duanmu Chen? You're just a little clever. If the new prince is him, send him to see the King of Hell as soon as possible!"

"Oh, if I had known this, it would be better to get rid of Duanmu Chen earlier. Dad, I think the emperor has deposed the prince. The next step is to ask us to hand over our military power!"

"Hmph! The Wan family has made great contributions to the country. If the emperor is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!"

"Dad, the Liang Kingdom has tried to negotiate peace several times, but we haven't reported it to the court. Is there anything going on?"

"What are you afraid of? From top to bottom in the Qian Kingdom, who believes that those barbarians from the Liang Kingdom don't want to fight? After negotiating peace with them, how can we still have a chance to make meritorious deeds?"

"Haha, my second brother and I led the troops out of the city for a tour today and came back. The report to the court will be credited to us! When the time comes, the emperor wants to move the Wan family, but the people will not agree!"

"Why doesn't the second one come over?"

"Don't worry about him. He just got a beautiful woman and is in ecstasy. We must pay attention to the matter of deposing the prince!"

"It's true, the prince, what kind of woman can't be found, yet she wants to hook up with Xiao Mulian! He did such a thing, but he didn't deal with it completely, leaving behind troubles in the future!"

"As a prince, I can't play with any woman he wants, even if it's his younger brother or sister. But Su Liang, the top martial artist, is surprising. It's only been more than a year. How come she has so much ability? The emperor doesn't. Have you ever doubted that she is a craftsman?"

"For such an obvious matter, the emperor must have found out that there is no problem with her before re-employing her. Now the emperor has deposed the eldest prince, but his attitude towards the second prince is unclear. If we wait for the news, we should know soon who will be the new prince. ”

"Second prince? I don't think the emperor will make him the prince. He will definitely take the opportunity to promote Duanmu Chen!"

After Wan Cong finished speaking, new news from the capital arrived. Contrary to his expectations, the news he got this time was that the new prince was really Duanmu Ao!

After asking the messenger to step back, Wan Cong sneered, "It seems that the emperor is still afraid of our Wan family! After deposing the eldest prince, the position of prince is still inseparable from the Wan family!"

Wan Shan's voice became lower, "I always feel that the emperor is confusing us."

"What do you want to do now?" Wan Cong asked.

Wan Shan snorted coldly, "The fault lies with that Su Liang! Send a message back to the capital, asking the Queen Mother and the Empress to get rid of that woman as soon as possible! Otherwise, sooner or later, she will ruin our big event!"
