It's Even

The next day, Lin Bojun woke up from a hangover and went out. It was already noon. Google search reading

When I saw Su Liang again, she was demonstrating and guiding the soldiers who were going to implement the new training rules from today. It was over.

Lin Bojun called Su Liang aside, "Xiaoliang, I didn't say anything when I was drunk last night, did I?"

Su Liang nodded, "No, I just cried and said I missed Yu Jin. I will tell her when I return to the capital."

Lin Bojun was dumbfounded, "Me? Crying? Impossible!"

Su Liang said seriously, "Does Lin Erge not remember anything? That means I have it."

Su Liang left after saying that.

Lin Bojun frowned and stood there. After a while, he shook his head, "Impossible, Xiaoliang must be talking nonsense."

Su Liang went to report the training situation to Xing Ji.

In fact, Xing Ji was watching almost the whole process and had a general understanding.

"Looking at what you wrote, I feel that the training methods have only changed a little from before, and the intensity is about the same. I saw with my own eyes today that many soldiers couldn't hold on." Xing Ji sighed slightly, "There are indeed great shortcomings, and we need to strengthen training."

Su Liang's attitude towards this is optimistic, "It's just the beginning, I'm not familiar with it and I'm not used to it, it will be fine soon."

Xing Ji smiled and said that the food in the army has improved in the past two days, and everyone is very happy, and they also want to credit Su Liang for his contribution.

Su Liang smiled, "It's a small matter. I wonder if anyone from Liangguo will come today?"

As soon as the voice fell, a report came from outside the door, "General, the scout reported that a team of people from Nanfeng City left the city half an hour ago and came here."

Xing Ji's expression became serious, "Go and scout again!"

The generals of Xuanbei City soon received the news and gathered in the meeting hall.

"Nanfeng City is easy to attack but difficult to defend. Even if we want it, we can't get all the soldiers there!" said an old general.

Xing Ji nodded, "Indeed. But we can push the defense line forward. I sent a memorial to the capital the night before, waiting for the emperor's instructions."

In this way, there is nothing to discuss about this matter.

"I want to remind you that Liangguo seems to be short of food and does not want to fight, but nothing is so absolute. To guard Xuanbei City, we must be prepared for war at any time!" Xing Ji looked serious, "I have only been here for a short time, but I have found that there are many problems in the army from top to bottom. From now on, we must clear up the military discipline! I will not call out names today, and give you three days to self-examine and rectify. If you do anything that does not comply with military regulations after three days, you will be severely punished!"

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen generals in the conference hall straightened their backs silently.

Before today, Xing Ji gave people a rather gentle feeling. After coming, he just focused on the training and meals. He talked to the generals present individually with a humble and polite attitude.

But they did not expect that Xing Ji had done a lot of investigations behind the scenes.

At this time, two generals were sweating.

Originally under the command of the Wan family father and son, although none of the people present had anything to do with treason, because the Wan family father and son were abolished before they could rebel.

But some of them were not clean and had some problems.

"Disperse." Xing Ji glanced around, "General Lin, General Chen, General Su stay."

When only Xing Ji and the three young generals were left in the meeting room, his face softened, "When the Liang people arrive, you three will be responsible for receiving them."

Chen Yun nodded immediately, "Yes." After speaking, he looked at Su Liang and said with a smile, "That city was originally conquered by General Su. She is the boss, and I will listen to her orders."

Xing Ji smiled, "Su Liang, what do you think?"

Su Liang asked back, "I wonder what we want to achieve? Let the Liang army and the people leave Nanfeng City?"

The migration of the people of a city is not a trivial matter.

Xing Ji shook his head, "If the people of Nanfeng City do not want to leave, they can stay or move to Xuanbei City and belong to Gan State."

Su Liang nodded, "Okay. What if the envoys from Liang State propose to trade grain with Gan State?"

"Let's see what price they offer first, and then we can discuss it." Xing Ji said.

"I understand. I guarantee to complete the task." Su Liang looked serious.

Xing Ji did not come in person at the beginning of the negotiation because the other party was not qualified to talk to him directly unless the main general Wei Yao came.

Arranging people to negotiate specifically can give more room for easing negotiations.

Su Liang saw that Xing Ji valued Chen Yun very much. He was indeed outstanding, both in martial arts and in mind.

The matter of clearing up military discipline that Xing Ji mentioned today was arranged by Chen Yun to investigate in secret, and he did a good job.

"When is the Liang people expected to arrive?" Su Liang asked.

Chen Yun, who was more familiar with Xuanbei City and Nanfeng City, answered, "Within an hour."

"Then let's go to your home first." Su Liang said and stood up.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, "My home?"

"It's time to give your father acupuncture today." Su Liang didn't forget.

Chen Yun slapped his forehead, "When I met General Su, I was thinking about asking you when you were going after the business was over, but I forgot for a moment."

Lin Bojun was about to go with him, but was stopped by Xing Ji.

Seeing Su Liang and Chen Yun leave one after another, Xing Ji asked Lin Bojun, "Why are you chasing Su Liang every day?"

Lin Bojun said seriously, "I have to help my A Jing watch his wife, what if she is kidnapped?"

Xing Ji held his forehead, "That makes sense, but it's unnecessary. Su Liang knows this kind of thing and will handle it well."

Lin Bojun smiled, "That's right." Ning Jing was actually in Xuanbei City, watching Su Liang by himself, so he didn't need to worry about it.

"The emperor intends to cultivate you, so you should pay more attention to military training." Xing Ji instructed.

He has arranged for Lin Bojun to be in charge of military training.

…

Su Liang and Chen Yun rode to Chen's house.

On the way, Su Liang asked, "I heard that General Chen had a younger brother?"

Chen Yun was not surprised that Su Liang knew about this, and sighed, "Yes, he was lost when he was young. If he were alive, he would be about the same age as General Su. My parents have been unable to let go of their loss over the years, and their health has collapsed."

"What's your brother's name? What are his characteristics? My fiancé has businesses in various places, and he can help find him." Su Liang said.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, then his face was overjoyed, "Really? General Su, you are so kind!"

Su Liang sighed, "I can only say try."

"That would be a great help!" Chen Yun's face was moved, "Finding my younger brother and bringing him home is my greatest wish in this life. My parents are here, and they are not in good health. I can't leave this place, otherwise I will go to the ends of the earth to find him!"

"What's your brother's name?" Su Liang asked again.

Chen Yun hurriedly said, "Oh, yes, I was too excited and forgot to say! My brother's name is Chen Xiao, Xiao of Yunxiao! Appearance... My mother said he looks a lot like me."

Su Liang looked at the big beard on Chen Yun's face, "Actually, I don't know what General Chen looks like."

Chen Yun pulled his beard, "Actually, I grew it specially, because people have always laughed at me for looking like a girl since I was a child."

Su Liang was really surprised and curious now, because Chen Yun's current image is very masculine.

But to be honest, if you look closely at his eyebrows and eyes, they are indeed very delicate.

It's just that after he grew a beard, everyone who saw him focused on the beard.

"When my younger brother was born, I remember everything. I think he doesn't look like me at all, and he is better looking than me!" Chen Yun said with a smile, "He has a fist-sized red birthmark on the left side of his neck!"

Su Liang glanced at Chen Yun's raised fist. The birthmark was so big that it should be very obvious.

"Okay, I'll pay attention. If there is any news, tell General Chen." Su Liang said.

"Don't be so polite, just call me by my name." Chen Yun said with a smile, "I know General Su is already taken, and I definitely don't have any improper thoughts. I just admire General Su! I am also very grateful for your treatment of my parents!"

Su Liang likes open-minded people, so he changed his words and called Chen Yun by his name after hearing this.

When they were almost at Chen's house, Chen Yun said, "Before General Su came, I met a little brother in Xuanbei City. He reminded me of me as soon as I saw him. His name is Wen Liang. He came here from Pingbei City to do business. His gestures must be from a big family. Have you heard of General Su?"

When Su Liang heard it, she realized that Chen Yun had found out that she was Wen Liang.

Before she spoke, Chen Yun smiled and said, "For some reason, I feel that General Su and Wen Liang give me a very similar feeling."

Su Liang nodded and admitted directly, "It's me."

Chen Yun was stunned, and then laughed, "General Su is really straightforward! I think General Su went to Xuanbei City secretly to deal with Wanshan and his son, right? Otherwise, the matter of changing generals would not be so smooth."

"Since you have guessed it." Su Liang said that there is nothing he can't say now.

Chen Yun admired him, "General Su is so amazing!"

"Don't praise me, my ears will get calloused." Su Liang said as he got off the horse at the door of Chen's house.

When he saw Chen's father and mother again, their complexion did not improve much.

Chen's mother was preparing incense and candles. Tomorrow was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and she was going to Ping'an Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Chen Yun did not mention Su Liang's request to help find Chen Xiao.

Su Liang gave acupuncture to Chen's father and felt Chen's mother's pulse, and told her to remember to take medicine. After finishing, she and Chen Yun left Chen's house and returned to the military camp together.

On the way, Chen Yun asked Su Liang who was the "Wen Gu" who was with her at the time.

Su Liang said that he was a master hired by Ning Jing to protect her, and also her friend.

"Mr. Ning and General Su are really a perfect match." Chen Yun praised.

Su Liang had a good impression of Chen Yun. He asked about his brother just because he thought of it. Now that he had said it, he really planned to help him find Chen Xiao.

…

The envoys of Liang entered the city and were invited to the general's mansion where Su Liang lived.

The leader was an old general of Liang named Peng Wei, Wei Yao's father-in-law.

Wei Teng was captured alive by Xing Ji, which caused Liang to suffer heavy losses in that battle. He took off his armor and returned home. Peng Wei took over.

Peng Wei's son was injured and disabled. When he was old, Wei Yao, his son-in-law, naturally became the chief general.

Although he was in a weak position, Peng Wei had a bad temper and was not very polite. After he sat down and saw three young men sitting opposite him, he snorted, "Where is Xing Ji? You are so arrogant, do you look down on me?"

Su Liang smiled, "Why didn't General Wei come? Do you look down on Gan Guo?"

Peng Wei was choked and squinted at Su Liang, "It was you who defeated my grandson?"

Su Liang nodded.

"I didn't expect that a yellow-haired girl like you would be so powerful. I heard that Gan Guo selected a little girl as the martial arts champion, and I thought it was the little princess of the Emperor Gan who was stranded outside!" Peng Wei laughed as he said, "If you have real skills, I will respect you!"

Su Liang was very calm, "Then let's start talking."

"Do you want Nanfeng City?" Peng Wei immediately got to the point.

Su Liang nodded, "Of course."

"Okay! Our soldiers can withdraw, but if the people leave Nanfeng City, they will be homeless. What are your plans for this?" Peng Wei asked.

Su Liang said as Xing Ji instructed.

"That's good!" Peng Wei nodded, "Many people in Nanfeng City can't eat, you have to take care of it!"

Su Liang kept smiling, "General Peng doesn't have to worry about this."

"Give me three more days, and you can go to Nanfeng City!" Peng Wei said.

Su Liang agreed, "No problem."

"I heard that your man is the largest tea merchant in Gan Country? All his money is yours?" Peng Wei looked at Su Liang and asked.

Lin Bojun's mouth twitched slightly.

Chen Yun coughed lightly, "General Peng, General Su is not married yet, and that Mr. Ning is her fiancé."

"I'm talking to her, why are you interrupting? It's all the same!" Peng Wei said to Chen Yun unhappily.

"That's right. What advice do you have for General Peng?" Su Liang asked.

"Doing business with you!" Peng Wei said, "100,000 shi of grain, you name a price!"

Su Liang did say that night that if she lost, she would give 100,000 shi of grain to Liang Country herself.

"I heard that Liang's horses are good." Su Liang smiled, "How about exchanging horses for food?"

Peng Wei frowned, "No other way?"

Su Liang shook his head, "No." Although Xing Ji also mentioned ore, Gan Kingdom is not short of ore for the time being, what is needed is good war horses.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll go back and discuss it and then send you a letter." Peng Wei stood up and said, "We're done, let's go! No need to see them off!"

Su Liang was actually a little surprised that the negotiation went so smoothly. Peng Wei didn't even drink a sip of water.

But although they were enemies, Su Liang still admired the old man Peng Wei's straightforward temper.

"By the way!" Peng Wei suddenly turned back at the door and asked Su Liang, "Who gave you your sword?"

Su Liang's Luoying sword was on the table. He didn't expect Peng Wei to notice it. He just said, "An elder."

Peng Wei frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He took a group of people and walked away with big strides.

"Chen Yun, go and see them leave the city." Su Liang said.

Chen Yun nodded and chased after them.

"You call each other by name? It seems you get along well." Lin Bojun said.

"He's okay." Su Liang said casually, "Go to the military camp and report to Uncle Xing."

Unexpectedly, before she walked out of the yard, a stone hit her back.

Lin Bojun didn't notice that Su Liang looked back at the stone that fell to the ground, retracted her gaze, and said to Lin Bojun, "I want to change clothes before going over. Second Brother Lin, go first."

Lin Bojun didn't doubt him and left.

Su Liang picked up the small stone that hit her, returned to the yard where she lived in the general's mansion, went straight into the room, closed the door, turned into the small study, saw Ning Jing standing inside, and threw the stone over.

Ning Jing could have caught it, but he let the stone hit his chest, opened his thin lips, and said, "It's even."

"What do you want from me?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing looked indifferent, "That Peng Wei, his forehead is black. Maybe he's going to die."
