She Won't Be Back Tonight

Su Liang disguised herself as "Wen Liang" again.

In order to prevent Xing Ji or Lin Bojun from thinking that she disappeared for no reason, she left a note on the table, saying that she was going to do something by herself and there was no need to worry.

What she did specifically could not be said.

"Let's go." Su Liang called Ning Jing.

Ning Jing had been taking an unusual route in the general's mansion for the past two days. He easily led Su Liang to avoid the guards and turned into a small alley out of the mansion.

When walking on the main street of Xuanbei City, Su Liang had a basket in his hand, which contained items for burning incense.

Ning Jing bought two more horses for temporary use.

When they arrived at the north gate, Su Liang said that they were from other places and had come to Ping'an Temple to pray for their elders at home. They passed smoothly.

Chen Yun, who sent Peng Wei and his party out of the city, was still standing on the city tower.

The Liang Kingdom's troops were no longer visible in sight. Chen Yun was about to go down the city tower to return to the barracks when he suddenly saw two people riding horses out of the city. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked very familiar.

He retracted his gaze, left the city gate, and went back to the barracks.

Seeing that only Lin Bojun was with Xing Ji, he asked about Su Liang.

"Xiao Liang said she wanted to change clothes, don't worry about her. Everything is done, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come." Lin Bojun said with a smile.

Xing Ji nodded, "You did a good job."

There was something that Xing Ji remembered only when Peng Wei came this time. His father, the old Prince Beijing, had a "friendship" with Peng Wei, but because of the position, it was naturally unknown, and that friendship had nothing to do with the interests of the two countries.

Xing's ancestors were founding heroes, and the Prince Beijing's Mansion had a collection of many treasures, and the medical books given to Su Liang were part of them.

Back then, Peng Wei's son was seriously injured in an assassination and was poisoned. He almost died. He found a miracle doctor who said he could be saved, but he lacked a rare medicinal ingredient.

That genius doctor knew the old Beijing King, and because he "coveted" the good medicines treasured in Beijing King's Mansion, he told Peng Wei that the missing life-saving medicine was only available in the Beijing King's Mansion in Gan Kingdom.

This is the truth.

For the sake of his son's life, Peng Wei disguised himself and came to Gan Kingdom in person to ask for help from Beijing King's Mansion. He brought a treasure that moved the old Beijing King and exchanged the medicine for the medicine, so that his son could survive.

That treasure was the Luoying Sword that Xing Ji later gave to Su Liang.

When the old Beijing King mentioned Peng Wei, he once said, "That man is very generous, but it's a pity that he is not from Gan Kingdom, so there is no chance to drink together."

Xing Ji planned to see Su Liang again and tell her about this, although it would not affect anything.

Chen Yun did not mention that he saw someone suspected to be Su Liang leaving the city. Su Liang had a close relationship with Xing Ji and Lin Bojun, and perhaps they knew it long ago.

…

Su Liang and Ning Jing did not waste much time chasing Peng Wei after he left. They were faster and saw Peng Wei and his party near the foot of the Jianan Temple Mountain.

The two slowed down because Peng Wei stopped.

“Will the old man go up the mountain to worship Buddha?” Su Liang said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Peng Wei leading two followers up the mountain.

Su Liang and Ning Jing rode over.

The rest of the Liang country team was resting nearby and noticed them.

One of the young generals asked loudly, “What are you doing?”

“Burning incense.” Su Liang got off the horse and tilted the basket for them to see.

Ning Jing and Su Liang went up the mountain, walked a few steps quickly, and saw Peng Wei appear in their sight, keeping a distance and following.

“He doesn’t look like he wants to kill anyone, who would kill him?” Su Liang asked in a low voice.

Ning Jing shook his head and didn’t know.

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and not many people choose to burn incense today, and it’s a bit late now.

The mountain road was quiet. Apart from Peng Wei and his two followers, there were only Ning Jing and Su Liang, the "brothers".

The newly blossomed peach blossoms in the forest swayed in the wind, with a faint fragrance.

However, Su Liang had no intention of appreciating them, and her eyes never left Peng Wei.

But she and Ning Jing slowed down their pace tacitly. One of Peng Wei's followers looked back twice, but didn't see anyone behind him.

When the follower looked back for the third time, Su Liang felt something was wrong...

The next moment, a knife flashed in front of him, and the follower chopped at Peng Wei's back without warning!

Su Liang cursed, threw away the basket in his hand, and rushed up with Ning Jing!

The person brought by Peng Wei was naturally someone he trusted. He was not prepared, and was chopped by a knife and fell to the ground.

When the follower was about to chop Peng Wei with the second knife, Ning Jing slapped him on the back and he fell to the ground.

Another follower who had been standing aside and neither took action nor stopped the attack drew his sword and rushed towards Ning Jing!

It was obvious that Peng Wei's two subordinates were accomplices and wanted to kill him!

Ning Jing avoided the sword stabbing at him at a tricky angle, grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it hard!

A scream like a pig being slaughtered rang out, startling countless flying birds.

Su Liang ignored the two people who wanted to kill Ning Jing, and hurried to Peng Wei's side to check his injuries.

The knife cut very deep, and the blood kept flowing. Peng Wei's consciousness was a little scattered.

Su Liang came here to hide her identity and did not bring a medicine box, but the purpose today was to save people, so she brought a first aid kit with her.

She opened Peng Wei's mouth, stuffed two pills in it, and then quickly stopped the bleeding and bandaged him.

The two followers who wanted to kill Peng Wei were good at martial arts, but they were far inferior to Ning Jing.

Ning Jing did not kill them. After crippling them, he tore their clothes into strips and tied them together.

After confirming that neither of them had disguised faces, they were indeed Peng Wei's subordinates.

"Are they still alive?" Ning Jing asked Su Liang.

"Yeah." Su Liang responded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took Peng Wei's pulse again.

Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to save his life.

"Who are you?" One person asked with a dead face and gritted teeth.

"I'm here to burn incense and see injustice." Ning Jing looked indifferent.

"It has nothing to do with you. It's best not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise..." Before one of them finished speaking, Su Liang strode over and kicked him in the face.

Su Liang said coldly, "Why do you want to harm General Peng?"

The two men kept silent.

Su Liang glanced at Peng Wei lying on the ground, and was a little embarrassed.

It is not appropriate to bring Peng Wei back to Xuanbei City, which is likely to cause disputes between the two countries.

Although it happened in the "non-war zone", Liangguo would probably be the first to suspect that it was done by Ganguo.

But at this moment, there is still a team waiting for Peng Wei to go down the mountain and return to Nanfeng City. If he doesn't show up for a long time, those people will come to him.

The key to the problem is that Peng Wei's confidants have betrayed him. If he is really taken away by the Liang people while he is seriously injured, he will probably be in great danger.

Ning Jing saw the black fog, which meant that God wanted them to save him. They must save him to the end.

Just as Su Liang was thinking of a countermeasure, Ning Jing said, "He woke up."

Su Liang came to Peng Wei's side and saw that he was pale and opened his eyes.

Su Liang lifted Peng Wei's head and whispered in his original voice, "I am Su Liang. We just met not long ago."

Peng Wei looked at the boy who saved him in disbelief.

"I changed my appearance." Su Liang explained, "I was afraid that something would happen to you before you returned to Nanfeng City and blame our country, so I came to "see you off". I didn't expect that something would really happen. I am a doctor, you should have heard of me."

Peng Wei nodded and said weakly, "Thank you..."

"Do you know who wants to kill you?" Su Liang asked.

Peng Wei frowned and said nothing.

"Tell me first, what should we do with this mess now? Don't turn the tables and say that we are the assassins of Gan State. I think you should be a decent person." Su Liang said it very bluntly.

She really didn't know how to deal with it next. If some people in Liang State wanted Peng Wei to die, why did they do it in Ping'an Temple? It's hard not to suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes intended to frame Gan State.

Peng Wei looked at his two followers, and his face became even uglier.

"You, disguise..." Peng Wei whispered, "Go down the mountain... say that I sprained my foot... and need to stay in Ping'an Temple for one night... let them... go first... I will... go back tomorrow..."

Su Liang thought about it, and it was the only way.

It happened that one of Peng Wei's followers was thin and about the same height as Ning Jing.

Ning Jing had a disguise drug on him, and he knocked out the two followers, dragged one arm with one hand, and dragged them from the ground to the depths of the dense forest.

When Ning Jing appeared again, he was already dressed up.

He was not pretending to be the one who chopped Peng Wei, and there was no obvious blood on his coat.

Ning Jing picked up Peng Wei again and sent him to a flat and sheltered place in the forest.

"Wait here." Ning Jing left after saying that, and covered the blood with soil on the mountain road, and then went down the mountain.

...

Peng Wei was lying on the ground, with a follower's coat under him.

Su Liang sat on the stone next to him, looked at him and asked, "Do you believe that I won't hurt you?"

Peng Wei showed a pale bitter smile, "If it weren't for you, I would have seen the King of Hell... Even they want to kill me, who else can I trust?"

"What about tomorrow?" Su Liang asked.

"I will go back tomorrow." Peng Wei's eyes turned cold.

"Old general, do you know who killed you?" Su Liang asked.

Peng Wei remained silent.

Su Liang was thoughtful, "I heard that you only have one son and one daughter. Your son was seriously injured and disabled by someone, and your son-in-law is Wei Yao, the commander of Nanfeng City. Could it be that Wei Yao did it?"

Peng Wei's face froze, "Why do you think so?"

"I mean, your son's incident might have been done by Wei Yao. If your son is fine, the commander of Nanfeng City would probably be named Peng instead of Wei, right?" Su Liang asked.

Peng Wei's face sank!

"Of course, this is just a guess without any evidence. You may think that your son-in-law is a good person and treat him as your own son. You also love your grandson very much. However, in view of what happened today, I think you still have to think about it carefully. Have you been deceived?" Su Liang sighed.

Peng Wei fell into a long silence.

Su Liang did not ask further, "You can close your eyes and take a rest if you want to think about things."

Peng Wei looked at her again and closed his eyes.

Su Liang did not interrogate the two traitors, and planned to wait until Ning Jing came back.

…

The Liang people waiting at the foot of the mountain found it strange to see one of Peng Wei's followers coming down the mountain alone.

Ning Jing did not approach, but imitated the voice of the man he pretended to be, saying, "The old general accidentally twisted his foot. He has to stay at Ping'an Temple tonight and return to the city tomorrow!"

The young general who led the team frowned, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Ning Jing snorted, "The old general's temper is always one-pointed. You go back and tell the general that everything has been discussed!"

Ning Jing turned and left.

The young general hesitated for a moment, but did not go up the mountain to confirm with Peng Wei in person. He continued on his way with his men and returned to Nanfeng City.

…

Su Liang knew that things were going well when he saw Ning Jing coming back.

"What should we do now? Take General Peng back to Xuanbei City for treatment?" Su Liang asked.

Peng Wei opened his eyes, "I have a relationship with Master Puqing of Ping'an Temple..."

"Oh? Then I'll send you to Heian Temple!" Su Liang said cheerfully, "Just in time, my brother hasn't changed his clothes yet."

After saying that, he looked at Ning Jing, "You carry General Peng to Ping'an Temple and deliver it to Master Puqing. When you come back, we will send those two traitors there as well."

Peng Wei was carried by Ning Jing, and Su Liang took off her coat and put it on Peng Wei's back to cover the wound.

When she pretends to be a man, she always wears an extra layer of clothes, although she still looks very thin.

"You..." Peng Wei frowned and looked at Su Liang, "Just to save me?"

"I'm a doctor, so I can't just ignore death, and if you always make trouble here, it's not good for Qianguo." Su Liang said.

If the mastermind really wanted to frame Qian Guo, Peng Wei would not be able to die.

Su Liang did not want the two countries to go to war, and the people would suffer.

Peng Wei took another deep look at Su Liang and was carried away by Ning Jing.

When they arrived at Ping'an Temple, they told him that General Peng from Nanfeng City was looking for Master Puqing. He sprained his feet on the mountain road and couldn't walk. He wanted to stay overnight.

The young monk went to report to Master Puqing, and soon someone came to invite them over.

Ning Jing carried Peng Wei to see Master Puqing. After Peng Wei said a few words to the master, he was arranged to live in a courtyard next door.

Ning Jing put Peng Wei on the bed. Peng Wei looked at him and asked, "Are you that girl's brother?"

"Guard." Ning Jing said.

"You are pretending to be brothers." Peng Wei nodded, "Go find her."

Ning Jing and Su Liang took a detour from the back mountain and brought the two traitors into Ping'an Temple.

Master Puqing called the guarding monk away in advance.

Finally able to sit down, Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw warm water on the table, poured a glass of it and drank it.

"Mr. Peng, someone may come to assassinate you tonight. Do you need our help?" Su Liang asked.

On the way up the mountain, Ning Jing said that the black fog in Peng Wei was still there and the danger had not been eliminated. It was obvious that someone did not want him to return to Liang Kingdom alive.

"I didn't expect that I would need the protection of the Qian countrymen to save my life in the end..." Peng Wei looked sarcastic, which was certainly not directed at Su Liang.

"Then I'll take it as your promise." Su Liang turned to look at Ning Jing, "Go back to the city and tell Brother Lin that I will stay at Ping'an Temple tonight and won't go back."

Ning Jing nodded and left.

The two traitors who were knocked unconscious were locked up next door, leaving only Su Liang and Peng Wei in the room.

"You didn't bring the Luoying Sword..." Peng Wei said.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "I didn't bring it with me." When he was in Xuanbei City, Peng Wei asked Su Liang who gave him the sword, and Su Liang said it was an elder.

"Xing Ji gave it to you, right?" Peng Wei told Su Liang that he exchanged the Luo Ying Sword for medicinal materials to save his son.

Su Liang suddenly realized, "That's it."

"Are you...really Su Yuanzhou's granddaughter?" Peng Wei frowned and looked at Su Liang.

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "You even know my grandfather?"

"Although my son is alive, he has been sick these years. I have visited famous doctors all over the world, including your grandfather." Peng Wei said and coughed twice.

Su Liang poured a glass of warm water over and fed him to drink.

Peng Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "Your grandfather... died so unjustly. Before I met you, I thought, how could Su Yuanzhou's granddaughter be so powerful?"

"What happens after you see me?" Su Liangxiao asked.

Peng Wei sighed, "I don't think you are like a girl that the Su family can raise."

"Whose family does it look like?" Su Liang asked smoothly.

Peng Wei thought for a while and said, "Like my family."

Su Liang:......

"It's a pity that I don't have a granddaughter." Peng Wei sighed deeply.

Su Liang asked, "Do you have any grandchildren?"

Peng Wei nodded and said, "Do you want to marry my grandson? He is very good-looking."

Su Liang coughed lightly, "I have a fiancé."

"That one named Ning? What's so good about him?" Peng Wei asked.

Su Liang didn't mind what Peng Wei said. His straightforward temper was actually quite good.

After hearing this, she thought for a while and said, "Good-looking and rich."

"My family is also rich." Peng Wei said.

Su Liang stood up and said, "You should first think about whether you can go back alive to see your children and grandchildren, and don't worry about your grandchildren's marriage."

Peng Wei's face darkened and he stopped talking.

"Have a good rest. It will help you recover from your injury. I'll go find some food." Su Liang went out after saying that.

…

Xuanbei City.

Lin Bojun had already seen the note Su Liang left in the room. Although she didn't know what she was going to do, she wasn't worried because Ning Jing was there. Xing Ji didn't ask, so he didn't mention it.

When Ning Jing appeared in front of Lin Bojun, he was writing a letter to Qin Yujin.

"A...Jun?" The word "Jing" came to his lips and he changed his words. Lin Bojun quickly put the letter away and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?" This was a military camp, and Lin Bojun didn't know how Ningjing got in. If Su Liang is missing, something must have happened.

"We have something to do. She won't come back tonight." Ning Jing left after saying that.

Lin Bojun was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask further questions, he was already gone.

He frowned and thought, "Could it be that we enter the bridal chamber in a place where no one will disturb us? It's so mysterious."
