No Need to Practice

"Little girl, I can't follow that boy of yours." Peng Wei looked serious.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with him?"

"He is Ting Jing's friend, but he wants to abduct you. His character is questionable." Peng Wei said.

Su Liang: ...What nonsense did Ning Jing say to this old man?

Su Liang laughed and said she was not interested in someone.

"That's good. Even if you don't want peace, you can still consider my grandson." Peng Wei took advantage of the situation and began to "promote" his precious grandson.

Su Liang chuckled, "If that day comes, I will consider it."

"It seems that you really like that boy named Ning!" Peng Wei sighed.

Su Liang: ...Let him think so.

She had already had dinner and came over to chat with Peng Wei.

Originally, he wanted Ningjing to leave Ping'an Temple, return to Xuanbei City, and notify Xing Ji and Lin Bojun to beware of a sudden attack from the Liang people.

But Ning Jing did not leave, saying that the most important thing tonight was to protect Peng Wei from being killed by a possible killer.

Su Liang thought about it too. It was too risky for her to stay on her own and protect the seriously injured Peng Wei.

Since the defense of Xuanbei City has always been good, and Peng Wei is not dead, Wei Yao should not start a war for the time being, and Su Liang will wait until daybreak to return to the city.

After Su Liang took Peng Wei's pulse again, he told him to have a good rest and then take medicine and rest for a period of time.

"I'll go to Master Puqing later and boil some medicine for you. I'll call you when it's ready." Su Liang said.

"Little girl, I really want to thank you so much this time." Peng Wei looked moved, "I have one more thing to ask of you, and I hope you can agree."

Su Liang nodded quickly, "Tell me.

Peng Wei sighed deeply, "That's my son Peng Qian. Although he survived after the accident, his health and bones have never recovered, and they have gotten worse and worse in the past two years. Originally, I heard that Su Yuanzhou's granddaughter not only won the top prize in martial arts, but also And my medical skills are not very good. At that time, I just thought that the rumors were exaggerated. Only when I actually met you did I realize that I am an old man who underestimated you!"

"Mr. Peng wants me to treat your son?" Su Liang asked.

Peng Wei nodded, "Yes! I have looked for many famous doctors, but there has been no improvement."

"There is no end to learning in medical skills. No one dares to be able to cure any disease. And I don't know your son's physical condition yet." Su Liang said seriously, "But I promise to give it a try if I can see him later. ”

Peng Wei looked overjoyed, "That's great!"

Originally, Su Liang thought that this topic should end here.

Unexpectedly, Peng Wei said immediately, "Little girl, come with me to the Liang Kingdom!"

Su Liang frowned, "This is too dangerous for me."

If Wei Yao and his ilk catch Su Liang and threaten Xing Ji, the possibility of this happening is not small.

Peng Wei quickly said, "As long as I live, I will protect you!"

Su Liang glanced at the weak Peng Wei and said, "Old man, I believe what you say, but it seems you can't protect yourself now."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not just doing it for the dog." Peng Wei explained, "I'm also doing it to prevent the two countries from rekindling the war. That's just falling into the Yanguo people's scheme."

Su Liang was thoughtful.

Peng Wei continued, "If I don't go back tomorrow, the Liang army will soon be led astray by Wei Yao. If I go back and am seriously injured and bedridden, Wei Yao will lock me up or even kill me." , are all possible. I have to stay alive, stand up, and appear in front of others, so that people will listen to me and stop Wei Yao's plan!"

Su Liang looked confused, "So, the old man wants me to protect you?"

"You little girl is so smart!" Peng Wei nodded, "I've never minced words. As long as you can help me destroy Wei Yao this time and get back my military power, I will do my best to avoid the Liang Kingdom and the Qian Kingdom for the rest of my life. Let’s start a war! Your country doesn’t want to fight, right?”

"The purpose of war is also peace." Su Liang sighed.

Peng Wei's expression was shocked, "Little girl, it's so rare for you to have such awareness at such a young age!"

"I will consider Mr. Peng's proposal and give you a reply before dawn." Su Liang said and stood up, "Let's rest first."

When he heard the door closing, Peng Wei let out a long sigh of relief.

…

Su Liang told Ning Jing about Peng Wei's request.

"Okay." Ning Jing nodded.

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "So happy? Are you coming with me?"

"What do you think?" Ning Jing asked in a cool tone.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Yes, great god, I want to break into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, and I need your protection. Please don't refuse."

Ning Jing looked at Su Liang, her thin lips parted slightly, "You are old."

Su Liang chuckled, "So great gods also have the burden of being idols. Don't you like being called old? I just respect you."

"Don't be poor." Ning Jing looked calm.

Su Liang immediately said seriously, "Uncle Xing's consent must be obtained for this matter. I am under his command and cannot act recklessly."

"Go tell him." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Now?"

"Before dawn." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang asked subconsciously, "Should I go by myself?"

"If you don't want me to go with you and come back together to collect Peng Wei's body," Ning Jing said.

Su Liang was a little embarrassed, "Then it's settled." After all, she still relied on Ning Jing, and it had become a habit. This habit is very bad and must be changed.

"Actually, I think Master Puqing may be a master." Su Liang said, "Chengyun's martial arts is very good."

"It was taught by his uncle." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang expressed surprise, "How do you know?" She had never heard of it.

"Chengyun said it," Ning Jing said.

"I thought he had a better relationship with me." Su Liang said.

After saying this, Su Liang planned to leave.

She didn't have all the medicinal materials on hand, so she said she wanted to boil medicine for Peng Wei, but actually she wanted to ask Master Puqing if there were any available medicinal materials.

Now that we are going back to the city, it won't be a problem.

"If you meet someone, hide away." Ning Jing told Su Liang.

Su Liang waved his hand, "I know, I'll leave it all to you. Just be careful when you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and Su Liang disappeared at the door.

Ningjing wrapped the leftover chicken bones on the table in oil paper and planned to take them with her when she left tomorrow.

Although he and Su Liang were more casual, leaving the chicken bones was too provocative.

After cleaning up, Ning Jing did not interrogate the two traitors because it was unnecessary. Peng Wei already knew many things in his heart, and the two people did not dare to admit them in order to survive.

After taking off his coat, Ning Jing lay on the small bed made by Su Liang.

The bed was a bit short, so his feet were dangling in the air. He covered himself with a quilt and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

…

Su Liang took the path down the mountain, paying attention all the way, but didn't meet anyone.

By the time Su Liang returned to Xuanbei City, it was already after the third watch.

She wanted to break into the heavily guarded military camp alone, but she felt a little uncertain. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, she returned to the general's mansion first, took off her disguise, changed her clothes, and then went to find Xing Ji.

The guards at the General's Mansion didn't know when Su Liang left. She had been at home. Although they were a little puzzled by her sudden departure to the military camp in the middle of the night, they didn't dare to ask more. Moreover, two guards offered to follow Su Liang. Go together.

Su Liang agreed, and quickly led the two men to the military camp not far away. He said that he had something important to see Xing Ji immediately, and went in without any hindrance.

Xing Ji was already asleep, and Su Liang saw Qi Jiang first.

When Qi Jiang rushed to the bedside and woke Xing Ji up, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, thinking that Liang Guo was coming.

"It's not Liang Guo who's calling, it's Liang Girl!" Qi Jiang said, "There must be something important."

Xing Ji looked solemn and got out of bed immediately.

Everyone else had gone out, and only Su Liang and Xing Ji were in the room.

"Where have you been today? What happened? Are you okay?" Xing Ji subconsciously checked whether Su Liang was injured.

Su Liang shook his head, "I'm fine. But something big did happen."

After saying that, Su Liang told Xing Ji that Peng Wei was seriously injured by a henchman and almost died on the way to Ping'an Temple.

When Xing Ji heard this, his expression changed, "Who did it?"

"I guess it's Wei Yao. General Peng himself thinks that he is his good son-in-law who wants to eradicate his dissidents. At the same time, he will use his death to attack the Qian Kingdom and reignite the war." Su Liang said.

"You just happened to save General Peng." Xing Ji suddenly felt confused, "You left a letter and left today. Did you go to Ping'an Temple?"

Su Liang nodded and explained, "There is a young monk named Chengyun in Huguo Temple who is my friend. He is a disciple of Master Puqing of Ping'an Temple. Yesterday I went to Ping'an Temple and wanted to pay a visit to Master Puqing. Unfortunately I didn’t see it, so I went again today.”

Xing Ji was stunned, "Cheng Yun? I heard Yu Sheng mention that you are friends with a very beautiful young monk from Huguo Temple."

"We together rescued the young master of the Wan family who was kidnapped by the Li family, one of the four major merchants. He was the one who was always with us." Su Liang said.

Very informative.

But Xing Ji quickly came to his senses, "I understand. Did Chengyun ask you to bring a letter or something to his master? In the future, you should explain this matter clearly, otherwise we will worry about you."

Su Liang nodded immediately, "Okay."

Then the two went on to talk about Wei Yao and Peng Wei.

After hearing the whole story and learning that Wei Yao secretly colluded with Yan Guo, intending to kill Peng Wei and frame it for Qian Guo, he sent troops to attack Qian Guo. Xing Ji's face darkened, "Sure enough, like father, like son!"

It turns out that when Xing Ji captured Wei Teng alive, Liang State, under the instigation of Yan State, sent troops to Qian State for no reason.

At that time, the commander-in-chief of the northern border of Qian Kingdom was Wu Yun, a traitor general who had been captured and executed for iron ore smuggling. Behind Wu Yun was King Nanping, who had secretly colluded with the royal family of Yan Kingdom for many years.

That time Wu Yun fell ill right after the war started, causing the Qianguo army to retreat steadily.

After the truth about the iron ore smuggling case came to light, looking back at that battle, it was obvious that Wu Yun already had different intentions at that time.

That time, Xing Ji captured the Liang Kingdom's general Wei Teng, forced the Liang Kingdom's army back, and recaptured several cities. In the end, the Liang Kingdom also suffered heavy losses.

Wei Teng has since been dismissed from his post because he secretly colluded with Qian Guo and started the war on his own initiative without the consent of the Liang State royal family.

The reason why Wei Yao still had a chance to rise to power after his father's accident was because he took advantage of his father-in-law Peng Wei.

"That's so." Su Liang snorted, "Old Peng Wei is really miserable, having such a son-in-law. If he hadn't saved his life today, Wei Yao would have wiped out the entire Peng family."

wild ambition.

"You're back, Peng Wei's side..." Xing Ji asked.

"Oh, the big brother who likes to pick mushrooms is protecting him." Su Liang said.

Xing Ji's mouth twitched slightly, "You must introduce me to that master someday."

"Wait until I ask him." Su Liang said.

Xing Ji sighed deeply, "But Peng Wei cannot stay in Ping'an Temple for a long time without going back. If he goes back, with his current situation, he will not be able to escape Wei Yao's murderous hands."

Su Liang mentioned that Peng Wei wanted to invite her to return to Liang Kingdom with him.

Xing Ji frowned, "Absolutely not!"

Su Liang nodded without Xing Ji's earnest persuasion, "I understand, it's very dangerous. But I originally planned to go there, because if Wei Yao is not dealt with, there will be no peace in the north. But on the way back just now, I thought of another way."

"What?" Xing Ji asked.

"Let Peng Wei pay me to assassinate Wei Yao." Su Liang said seriously, "As long as Wei Yao is dead, Peng Wei can stabilize the Liang army, and many troubles will be solved."

Xing Ji nodded, "Let Wei Yao die, it's a solution. But hiring you? No matter how much money he pays, I don't agree with you taking risks!"

"Just saying that, I'm not short of money, but if he has any treasures like the Falling Ying Sword, he must take them all out? After all, I saved him, and he still expects me to save his son." Su Liang said.

Xing Ji held his forehead, "Those are all external things, not worth your risk!"

"Why did Uncle Xing choose to break into the enemy camp alone back then?" Su Liang asked back.

Xing Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, I admit that I was young and frivolous, okay?"

Xing Ji was not without worries, he still had a mother at home.

But what he thought at the time was that if the country fell, it would be no longer a country, where would there be a home? He rushed forward with a passion.

"Why not, Uncle Xing go? You have caught his father before, you have experience." Su Liang said.

Xing Ji sighed, "With my current status, it would be very irresponsible to rashly do such a thing."

If he was caught by the Liang people, things would be bad.

"Just a joke." Su Liang said, "Uncle Xing, don't be nervous, let my eldest brother go to the Liang army camp to pick mushrooms! He is very powerful!"

"Who is he?" Xing Ji was very curious.

"A friend of Ning Jing." Su Liang said. Ning Jing is Ning Jing's friend, this is what Ning Jing told Peng Wei himself.

"You have to think about it carefully." Xing Ji said earnestly, "Although Wei Yao wants to kill Peng Wei, Peng Wei may not think of his daughter and grandson and want to spare Wei Yao's life."

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "I think it's impossible. If my daughter gets into trouble with this scum who destroyed my whole family, I will definitely chop him up and let my daughter get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible. And Peng Wei knows that Wei Yao has a female spy from Yan country by his side, and he is fascinated by that woman. It is conceivable that when Peng Wei dies, Wei Yao may get rid of his wife one day."

Xing Ji nodded, "That makes sense. I just remind you that even if you appreciate Peng Wei's character, after all, we have different positions, so be more careful."

"Since Uncle Xing doesn't object, it's settled. I'll go back and discuss with my eldest brother on how to act. If he doesn't agree to be an assassin, maybe I will really go to Liang country with Peng Wei. We will know how to act tomorrow morning." Su Liang said and was about to leave.

Xing Ji stood up, "I won't say anything more. Be careful. Don't risk your life for anything. Even if we really go to war with Liang, we are not afraid."

"I understand." Su Liang left after she finished speaking.

She found a medicine shop, bought some herbs for Peng Wei, left some silver, and disguised herself before going out of the city to Ping'an Temple again.

Su Liang almost didn't stop the whole way. When she returned to Ping'an Temple, it was still an hour before dawn.

The courtyard was quiet. Su Liang knocked on the door, "Brother?"

The door opened immediately. It was Ning Jing.

There was no light in the room. Ning Jing's eyes looked even colder in the moonlight.

"No one is coming?" Su Liang asked after entering the room.

Ning Jing nodded, "I am here."

"You solved it all?" Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "I'm not surprised."

"What did Uncle Xing say?" Ning Jing asked.

"Although he was very worried about my safety, he didn't stop me after knowing the whole story." Su Liang said.

"Don't go, I'll go get Wei Yao's head." Ning Jing's expression was indifferent.

Su Liang was surprised, "When did you think of it?"

"After you left." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang stretched out his hand, "It seems that we brothers have a tacit understanding. I also thought of it. We can do this."

Ning Jing looked at Su Liang's hand, "What for?"

"Oh." Su Liang immediately took his hand back and chuckled, "We should shake hands at this time. It's a habit in our world. Forget it."

"Shake hands? Why?" Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "The general meaning is that heroes think alike. Brother, you are really smart. It's almost the same. But then again, I am very confident in your strength, but I still think it's very dangerous. Are you sure?"

After speaking, Su Liang didn't see Ning Jing's answer, and lowered his head, and saw a hand in front of him, with long knuckles and very beautiful.

"What for?" Su Liang asked subconsciously.

"What do you think?" Ning Jing asked back.

Su Liang responded and laughed, "God, you really want to go there." He stretched out his hand naturally, and held Ning Jing's hand with four fingers diagonally, shaking it, "That's it."

Su Liang's hand loosened, and Ning Jing asked, "How many times?"

Su Liang:...

Knowing Ning Jing's temperament, Su Liang thought for a while and said, "Usually two or three times."

"Okay." Ning Jing looked like he remembered it.

Su Liang felt that this kind of thing didn't need to be learned...

"After dealing with Wei Yao, what do you want to do?" Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "With such a great contribution, it's not too much to ask the emperor for a vacation to go home for a while, right?"

Ning Jing stretched out his hand again, "I think so too."

Su Liang held his forehead, "God, this handshake doesn't need to be practiced..."
