The Moonlight Is so Beautiful

Su Liang's eyes were full of expectation.

Gu Ling was the first person she met after coming to this world, and also her most important friend. They had been living together for more than half a year. This person had been living as Ning Jing before. She had only heard of his beauty and had never seen his true face.

But when Gu Ling took off his mask, his black hair fluttered, revealing his full face, Su Liang rolled her eyes to the sky, "You are crazy!"

She didn't expect that under the mask, there was actually a familiar face, the "Wen Gu" that Gu Ling had disguised himself with when he was with her in Xuanbei City.

Gu Ling looked at Su Liang's anger, opened his thin lips and said four words, "For safety."

Su Liang couldn't help it, kicked Gu Ling's leg, and snorted, "You are obviously teasing me on purpose. Since you have changed your appearance, why wear a mask? It's just a trick!"

Gu Ling nodded gently, "Double safety. It's true to tease you."

Su Liang narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Ling, saying in a faint tone, "It's fun to tease me?"

Gu Ling nodded again, "Interesting. Don't you think?"

Su Liang suddenly smiled, "Yes, it's really interesting. Now, immediately, take off your disguise and show me what you look like, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face against you! Anyway, I have to go back to Beijing to mourn my deceased fiancé. Who are you, it's better for me to see clearly, otherwise..."

"Okay." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang snorted, "That's better. For the sake of our past pleasant cooperation, I won't bother with you. Hurry up and change your appearance!"

At this moment, the voice of Commander Fan came from outside, "General Su, are you okay?"

Su Liang frowned. She almost forgot about the imperial guards outside the door.

"Forget it." Su Liang took the small yellow flower hairpin that was originally intended to be given to him from Gu Ling's hand, "I will consider whether to give it to you after I see your true appearance. If you don't look good, there will be no gift. It's not safe now. I will withdraw first. If you want to stay and rest, you can do it. We can't go together."

"Okay." Gu Ling said, "You go first, I will find you."

Su Liang glanced at Gu Ling's face again, silently kicked him a second time, and turned to walk out.

Gu Ling lowered his head and looked at the two footprints on his robe, but didn't care.

Commander Fan didn't hear Su Liang's response, and was afraid of something going wrong, so he climbed over the wall to come in.

As soon as I landed, I saw that the lights in Su Liang's room were off. The next moment, the door opened and she came out with a bag on her back. Her fair face was cold in the moonlight.

Commander Fan hurriedly bowed, "General Su..."

"I'll go ride a horse and go back to Beijing with you." Su Liang said, going to the backyard.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and Su Liang rode away. Commander Fan led his men to chase after him. After crossing the bridge, he walked towards the village entrance.

A few dog barks, and the small village in the middle of the night returned to silence again.

The light in Su Liang's room was on again. Gu Ling walked out of the inner room holding a red candle and saw a paper bag on the table.

He lit the oil lamp on the table with a red candle, blew out the candle gently, put it aside, opened the paper bag, and smelled an enticing aroma of meat.

It was the game that Su Liang brought Xiaohu Zhuzi and Erniu to the mountains to play yesterday. She only kept a fat hare and let the children take the rest home.

Originally planning to leave tomorrow morning, Su Liang specially braised the wild rabbit during the day today, and planned to take it with him on the road after it cooled down.

Gu Ling went to the kitchen, and the water tank was still full. After he scooped water to wash his hands, he returned to the room, sat down at the table, tore off a rabbit leg, took a bite, and nodded slightly. It was still a familiar taste. It must have been made by Su Liang. She had her own exclusive secret marinade, which was different from that made by Aunt Bai.

Gu Ling ate half of the rabbit, wrapped the rest, cleaned up the table habitually, washed his hands again, and returned to the room where he had lived for a long time.

Everything was still the same, and the bedding was stored in the cabinet. When he came back half a month ago, he took it out to dry, but he only stayed for one night and left.

Gu Ling took the bedding out and spread it, washed up, and lay down to sleep.

Before dawn the next day, he got up, took half of the rabbit and left, and went to the back mountain.

At sunrise, Gu Ling stopped beside an inconspicuous big rock in the shade of the mountain, took out Su Liang's medicine hoe that he brought from home, and began to dig a piece of land full of weeds next to it.

If Su Liang was here and saw the box that Gu Ling dug out, he would know what it was.

She had seen Gu Ling's treasures before, but not only could they not be sold, but they could not be discovered by others. They were all things related to the original Gu family.

One of them was the jade hairpin that Gu Ling's mother had given to Nian Ruxue, and was later inserted into Su Liang's head by Nian Jincheng. Uncle Liang took it away and returned it to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling squatted down, took out the key, opened the box, and the things inside were still there.

He took out a long brocade box, opened it, and inside lay the jade hairpin that Su Liang had worn.

In addition, Gu Ling took out a jade plaque engraved with the words "Changning" from it, then locked the box again, buried it back to its original place, and restored it to its original state.

Walking down the mountain, before reaching home, Gu Ling saw Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi wandering around, and heard them calling "Sister Su Liang".

Although the gate was locked, the two children knew that Su Liang must have left.

After a while, the two brothers ran away, and Gu Ling quietly went down the mountain, climbed over the wall from the back door, and put the medicine hoe back to its original position.

Seeing that two purple eggplants were almost ripe, Gu Ling took an empty basket, picked them and put them in, and also picked a tender pumpkin that was as long as his forearm.

…

At dawn, Su Liang had already left Bei'an County and ran all the way towards the capital. Commander Fan and his party were almost thrown away, but they still pursued her closely.

Su Liang planned to get rid of these people, but he couldn't do it too obviously, and he couldn't take an unusual path, which would arouse suspicion.

After traveling for a day and a night, Commander Fan and several of the grown men couldn't bear it. The horses also had to drink water and eat fodder.

Finally seeing Su Liang in front of him stop, Commander Fan breathed a sigh of relief and rode closer, "General Su, take a rest. No matter how anxious you are, you have to take care of yourself!"

Su Liang didn't say anything. After dismounting, he walked to an inn.

Commander Fan specially reserved a guest courtyard for Su Liang, and they and his group lived in the courtyard next door, so that Su Liang could give orders at any time if he had anything to do.

Su Liang rested for a while. The waiter brought hot water and food, which she ate alone. It was already dark outside.

After a brief wash, Su Liang went to bed and would continue on her journey tomorrow.

Thinking of Gu Ling before going to bed, Su Liang didn't know when he would catch up.

In the middle of the night, Su Liang suddenly woke up from his sleep and noticed someone beside the bed. His eyes were wary, and his hand had already grasped the dagger under the pillow.

"It's me." A voice that wasn't too familiar.

Su Liang let go, lifted the quilt and sat up, dressed neatly.

Seeing that Gu Ling was still wearing a mask, Su Liang hummed, "Mask bsp"; Gu Ling shook his head, "No." "

Su Liang's eyes brightened slightly, "Then you take it off!"

"Want to see it?" Gu Ling asked.

"Nonsense!" Su Liang glared at him, "I've known you for so long and I don't even know what you look like. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "It's not appropriate. Then let's go."

Su Liang was stunned, "Where are you going?"

"I'll show you another place." Gu Ling said.

"I can't disappear for no reason now." Su Liang said, put on her shoes and got out of bed.

"Just come back before dawn and not be discovered." Gu Ling opened the back window.

The breeze on the summer night is tinged with the faint fragrance of flowers.

Su Liang followed Gu Ling and left the inn with a few leaps. After passing through two alleys, she noticed that Gu Ling was holding a basket in his hand.

The two of them didn't walk too far and stopped in a quiet woods.

Su Liang thought that now she could finally see someone's true face.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ling took out a round eggplant from the basket and said, "It's ripe. If you don't eat it, it will spoil."

Su Liang: ...She wants to beat someone's head into an eggplant!

Seeing that Gu Ling also brought tools and seasonings for roasting eggplants, Su Liang was really speechless.

"I have something to tell you." Gu Ling said, gathering a pile of firewood and lighting a fire.

Su Liang sat down next to her, opened the basket cover, and saw a familiar pumpkin inside. It was originally hanging on the vine on the back wall of her home. She stared at it for half a month, and finally left without eating it.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling said at the same time, "Can pumpkin be roasted and eaten?"

"This is too tender and won't taste good when baked. I originally wanted to make dumplings with pumpkin and egg fillings, but I didn't bother with it." Su Liang frowned after saying this, "Is this what you want to talk about?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "No. I want to find Uncle Liang."

Su Liang was stunned, "You just drove him away half a month ago, and what are you doing with him? Do you plan to go to Liang Kingdom to join your grandpa?"

"I don't want to hide around like this anymore." Gu Ling said, cut the washed eggplant in half and handed it to Su Liang.

Su Liang took out her sharp knife, wiped it clean, crossed it on the fire, put the eggplant on it, and drew two firewood to prevent the fire from getting too big.

"Didn't you enjoy a secluded life before?" Su Liang asked, "Now that Ningjing's identity is gone, if you want to find another place to live in seclusion, it's actually very simple."

As powerful as Gu Ling, he didn't need to worry about being discovered, as long as he didn't want to.

Su Liang was objectively analyzing Gu Ling's situation, but he asked, "Do you really want to part ways with me?"

"It's not the same thing." Su Liang shook his head, "I just don't understand why you want to find Uncle Liang. If you don't want to hide anymore and choose to go to Liang Country, we can only go our separate ways."

"I want to take off my label of rebel." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang suddenly realized, "Are you planning to use your grandfather to let Liangguo negotiate with the royal family of Qianguo so that you will never cause trouble again?"

Gu Ling nodded lightly.

"Good idea!" Su Liang immediately agreed, "Didn't Uncle Liang say that your grandpa cares about you? From your attitude, he definitely doesn't believe it. No matter what his intentions are for looking for you, he is the most powerful person in the Liang Kingdom. My lord, if you are willing to come forward to negotiate with the royal family of Qian Kingdom and tell the world that you are the person under his protection, the royal family of Qian Kingdom may not let you go. After all, it was your father who rebelled, and you did nothing!"

The royal family of Qian Kingdom couldn't catch Gu Ling, let alone kill him. But because of the Gu family's rebellion, he could not appear openly in front of others. He couldn't go anywhere with a group of killers following him, because he was still at the top of the wanted list of the Qian Kingdom royal family.

The most troublesome thing is not himself.

If Gu Ling was alone, he wouldn't have much of a problem if he was discovered wherever he went. If he was idle and bored, he could even entertain the royal family of the Qian Kingdom. He would be unable to catch him wherever he went, which would make them angry to death.

The key is that Gu Ling's sensitive identity prevents him from dealing with anyone openly.

The royal family of Qian Kingdom can't catch him, but no one involved with him can have an easy time.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have chased Uncle Liang away." Su Liang said, "No, we must let Ningjing die first, otherwise there will be troubles. Now is the time. When I roast the eggplant, you can go to Liang Kingdom after you finish it. Go find your grandpa! You won’t be able to catch up with Uncle Liang!”

As Su Liang said, the eggplant was roasted until soft. She took out a knife, made a few cuts, and evenly spread the seasonings that Gu Ling brought, and the fragrance immediately spread.

The eggplants were roasted, and each of them had half a half. They were all covered with handkerchiefs, and they were ready to start.

Su Liang stared at the wooden mask on Gu Ling's face, half-smiling but not smiling, as if "I want to see if you can eat through the mask."

This time, Su Liang didn't say anything. Gu Ling held the eggplant in one hand, pinched the bottom of the mask with two fingers, lifted it up, and took it off neatly.

The moon is at the zenith.

The bright moonlight shone on Gu Ling's face through the gap between the trees. Su Liang stared at it blankly. She didn't know what Gu Ling looked like at first, but now looking at that face, she felt that it should be like this, it must be. Only in this way can she be worthy of the title of "the most beautiful woman in the capital" and perfectly fit with his character.

Ning Jing's facial features were soft, and Gu Ling's face had just the right angles, as if it were carved from marble, making it even more stern. The eyebrows are like ink paintings, the eyes are like cold stars, the bridge of the nose is high and the thin lips are lightly pursed.

Su Liang originally thought that "skin as solid as fat" was only used to praise women, but at this moment, she really felt that God's creation was biased. Some people were born with ice-cold skin and jade bones. Even though they were sitting on the ground in this quiet forest with plain clothes, they were still beautiful. amazing.

"Have you seen enough?" Gu Ling's thin lips parted lightly.

Su Liang came back to his senses and coughed twice, "Master, you look like this. It's so enviable and jealous. If you didn't hide away, many women might be crazy about you!"

Su Liang suddenly understood Nian Ruxue's obsession with Gu Ling.

Seeing Gu Ling starting to eat the grilled eggplant, Su Liang realized that she also had half of it in her hand. It was so hot that her right hand hurt a little.

Su Liang changed the roasted eggplant to another hand, took out the clean chopsticks brought by Ning Jing from the basket, and while eating, asked Gu Ling, "Do you look more like your father or your mother?"

Gu Ling said, "Both."

"Then they must all be first-class beauties." Su Liang said.

"Are you envious of me?" Gu Ling looked at Su Liang and asked.

Su Liang smiled, "It's okay, I just complimented you on your beauty. I'm still very satisfied with my appearance."

After Gu Ling finished eating, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and asked Su Liang, "Will you be fascinated by me?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes, if we don't know each other, if I see a monster like you, I must remind myself to run away!"

Gu Ling paused, "Why are you running?"

"Don't you know there's an old saying that the more beautiful a person is, the more likely they are to lie to others?" Su Liang said seriously.

Dark clouds cover the moon.

Gu Ling's face was half-dark, "I haven't lied to you."

Su Liang smiled as brightly as a flower, "You're just kidding. Everyone has a love for beauty. With a brother as beautiful as you, my mood will get better just by looking at it. It would be even better if you, great god, could make me smile. ”

Seeing Su Liang's bright eyes, Gu Ling was silent for a moment, "Let me learn from you later."

Su Liang suppressed a smile and gave a thumbs up, "Master, your love of learning is really admirable. I'm looking forward to the results of your study."

"Where's the gift?" Gu Ling asked.

"Oh, by the way." Su Liang took out the little yellow flower hairpin, reached over and inserted it into Gu Ling's hair. After looking at it, he nodded repeatedly, "It looks good!"

After roasting another eggplant and eating it, the two put out the fire and stood up.

Su Liang took a step forward and, like last time, hugged Gu Ling gently, and then separated quickly, "Goodbye, I hope what you do next goes well."

Gu Ling bent down and picked up the basket on the ground, "I didn't say I wanted to leave."

Su Liang held her forehead, "Didn't you say you wanted to find Uncle Liang and your grandpa?"

"Yes, but not now." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang: ...It seems that he really didn't say he wanted to leave tonight. She just thought it was embarrassing...

"You want to take me back to the capital? Actually, you don't have to." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling asked, "How to make dumplings with pumpkin and egg fillings?"

Su Liang said "Ah", "You want to do it yourself?"

"The pumpkins at home can't be wasted." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang chuckled, "Okay, I'll tell you how to do it, you have to remember it."

By the time they walked out of the woods, Su Liang had already told Gu Ling in detail how to make the pumpkin-and-egg filling dumplings she originally wanted to eat.

Arriving at a small alley not far from the inn, Gu Ling stopped.

"I'm going back. I have to travel tomorrow. Master, please find a place to make dumplings and eat them." Su Liang waved his hand.

"Tomorrow is Haishi." Gu Ling finished his words and disappeared.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then realized, was Gu Ling going to make dumplings with her own hands and come over to share them with her?

The great god is not only more beautiful, but is also willing to cook for himself... Su Liang looked up and felt that the moonlight was so beautiful.
