No Rush
The "assassin" tore off the black cloth covering his face, revealing an old and thin face, glaring at Su Liang. It was Uncle Liang.
"You must know where the young master is!" Uncle Liang's eyes were full of persistence.
Su Liang stared at him, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Since you came to see me tonight, I just have something to say to you. It's not convenient here, you can come to my house later."
Uncle Liang was stunned, and then his eyes became alert.
Su Liang knew what he was thinking at a glance, and rode past him, "Didn't you say that I, a martial arts champion, don't know the height of the world? Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"
Uncle Liang frowned, and when he turned around, Su Liang had disappeared at the alley.
Uncle Liang snorted coldly and soon disappeared.
Su Liang arrived at the gate of the mansion and was about to dismount to open the door when a man jumped down from the wall, "Miss Su is back!"
It was Qi Jun. He didn't know where Su Liang had gone, so he waited here.
"You've worked hard. Go back and rest. Come back tomorrow." After Su Liang finished speaking, Qi Jun had already opened the door, and she rode in directly.
Qi Jun closed the door from the inside and said to Su Liang, "My subordinates have moved their bedding here. How about living in the courtyard closest to Yuanming Pavilion?"
Su Liang replied from a distance, "Whatever you want."
When Qi Jun took Su Liang's horse away to feed it, Uncle Liang arrived.
Su Liang did not invite him to Yuanming Pavilion, but sat in the pavilion on the other side of the lake. The view was unobstructed, and there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped.
When Qi Jun came back from feeding the horse, he saw Su Liang sitting in the pavilion with someone from a distance. He immediately turned around, pretending that he saw nothing, and went to the kitchen next to Yuanming Pavilion to boil water.
It was rumored that the deceased "Ning Jing" was protected by a master because he cared too much about Su Liang. When she went to Xuanbei City, he ordered the master to protect her, which led to his death.
Xing Yusheng said that this rumor was unbelievable, and Qi Jun thought so too. But Qi Jun was not surprised that Su Liang had a mysterious friend.
…
The night wind was slightly cool.
There was a chessboard carved on the stone table. It was a work by Gu Ling when he was free, but it was hard to tell whose handwriting it was.
Uncle Liang looked down and then retracted his gaze. He looked at Su Liang and spoke in a bad tone, "What do you want to say? No need to beat around the bush!"
Su Liang asked back, "What do you want?"
"I just want to make sure that the young master is fine! Otherwise, I can't rest assured!" Uncle Liang snorted.
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, I believe you really care about him. You think you know him better than me, and you should be very clear about his strength. What do you think can happen to him?"
Uncle Liang's face froze, "Then why hasn't he shown up yet?"
"Maybe he went to the south to play." Su Liang said.
"Don't talk nonsense! The young master asked for the restoration of his identity. How could he ignore it?" Uncle Liang said coldly.
"What's the difference between him showing up tonight and him showing up a year later?" Su Liang asked.
Uncle Liang frowned and said nothing.
"Gan and Liang have formed an alliance, and Princess Yaoguang will become the Crown Princess of Gan. Do you think the emperor will take back his promise to pardon the grandson of King Yue when Gu Ling has done nothing?" Su Liang asked coldly.
Uncle Liang blurted out, "Of course not!"
"That means it makes no difference to Gu Ling whether he appears tonight or a year later. If he appears a year later, he will have another year to go wherever he wants. But asking King Yue to plead for him is not always possible. It requires the right time, right place, and right people. It can only be possible when Gan and Liang have the best relationship in many years. I'm talking about now." Su Liang snorted. In fact, Liang did not rekindle the war, but returned to peace, and she also contributed to this.
Uncle Liang's expression finally changed, "You mean, the young master asked me to find the King of Yue to do that thing, but he didn't plan to restore his status after the matter was accomplished?"
Su Liang held his forehead, "Isn't this hard to understand? Don't you claim to know him better than me? Do you think he really wants to return to the capital, live alone in a useless Changxin Marquis Mansion, and be watched by the royal family? What good will that do him?"
Uncle Liang frowned fiercely, "Then why did the young master let me..."
Su Liang took a deep breath, holding back the urge to scold Uncle Liang, "The brain is a good thing, please use it for a while", looked at him and said coldly, "He doesn't want to come back, and he can't come back, which are two different things! Isn't it good now? He can play outside as long as he wants, and he can come back when he wants to come back!"
"But why does the young master want to come back here?" Uncle Liang was still digging into a dead end.
Su Liang said unhappily, "What if he wants to get married, have children in the future, and wants to live a normal life instead of hiding?"
Uncle Liang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes brightened, "So that's it! Could it be that the young master has fallen in love with a girl and plans to come back after the marriage is settled?"
Su Liang nodded, "Your idea is correct. But before he left last time, the kind of thing you said had not happened."
Uncle Liang suddenly stopped talking again and stared at Su Liang.
Su Liang felt a little scared by being looked at, "Uncle Liang, why are you looking at me?"
Uncle Liang said in a faint tone, "Could it be that the girl that the young master likes is you?"
Su Liang chuckled, "We are just good friends, you think too much." With Gu's personality, if he likes someone, he will confess in a minute.
Regarding the relationship with Gu Ling, Su Liang had seriously thought about it, and it was not that he was slow to react and couldn't feel anything. Although their relationship is indeed very good, in Su Liang's view, it is just because the two people's way of getting along has always been the habit of integrating two completely different worlds. From the perspective of people here, it may be considered close, but from Su Liang's previous life From the perspective of brother and sister, they are close friends. Because they live together, there are many ways to take care of each other in life. And Gu Ling has been studying things from Su Liang's previous life seriously, including his thoughts, and his way of thinking when getting along with Su Liang is completely on her side.
Uncle Liang was still a little suspicious, "Are you serious? Could it be that you tricked me, right? My young master is so kind to you, but he just pities you and doesn't like you. I believe this. But you don't actually like my young master either?" I do not believe!"
Su Liang: ...As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No, is there Pan An in the loyal servant's eyes? Not quite right either. In short, Uncle Liang just thinks that Gu Ling is unparalleled in the world and no one is worthy of him...
Su Liang agreed with this, "That's true. In fact, I wanted to be with him at first, but he rejected me."
Uncle Liang hummed, "This is what I expected!"
Su Liang: ...Tonight she wants to "solve" Uncle Liang's little trouble, as long as he is happy. Anyway, Su Liang told Duan Muchen, told Xing Yusheng, and told the Lin family that she wanted someone that she wanted. There was nothing shameful about it, and she could just blurt it out.
Su Liang sighed deeply and looked at Uncle Liang earnestly, "It seems that the misunderstanding between us has been resolved. The next thing I really want to tell you is what I really want to tell you. Since Gu Ling was willing to take you there in the first place, I think he believes in your loyalty. But you need to understand that what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do cannot be the same as yours. And kindness, more important than doing what he wants you to do, is never to do anything he doesn't like! He can live well without you, don't impose your ideas on him. "
When Uncle Liang heard this, his face turned ugly, "A yellow-haired girl actually preached to me? Who do you think you are?"
Su Liang shrugged, "I am who I am."
Uncle Liang glared at her and said viciously, "Since you said you are friends with the young master, help me explain to him. I was wrong. I shouldn't have told the King of Yue about him without his consent!"
Su Liang held her forehead, "Can you please stop begging me to do something as if you're going to tear me apart if I don't agree?"
"Can you help me with a word!" Uncle Liang snorted coldly.
Su Liang nodded, "Help. But I don't know when he will show up. Uncle Liang has a straightforward temper. Don't get involved with the King of Yue anymore, otherwise Gu Ling will only hate you even more. I have only one piece of advice for Uncle Liang." , This is what Gu Ling said when he asked you to leave Sujiacun last year, don't worry about him anymore, you have children and grandchildren, go home and enjoy your old age. "
When Uncle Liang heard this, his expression was shocked, and he suddenly felt lonely, "But the young master is alone, alone..."
Su Liang said sternly, "No. Don't forget, he has Nian Jincheng, the only friend in the eyes of the world, and they should be together now."
Uncle Liang was stunned, "Nian Jincheng...I really forgot about him."
"If you have anything else to ask, just say it and I'll listen." Su Liang said.
"Who did you learn your martial arts from?" Uncle Liang looked at Su Liang and asked.
Su Liang hummed, "What do you think?"
Uncle Liang suddenly realized, "My young master taught me?! He taught a martial arts champion in half a year? That's amazing! Then aren't you my young master's apprentice? You can't be ungrateful!"
Su Liang nodded, "Yes, yes, that's what you said."
"Oh, it's all my fault after all. I made the young master angry and I don't want to see each other again." Uncle Liang sighed, "You are very clear-minded. You are right. The young master is so powerful that he has no use for me. I It's causing trouble for him. I'll listen to him and go back to Liangguo tonight."
"Are you going to report the content of our conversation to the King of Yue?" Su Liang asked.
Uncle Liang shook his head, "I really didn't know that the young master hated the King of Yue so much, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do that kind of thing. Now that I know, why are you looking for him? This time, I didn't come with the King of Yue! I don't need to explain anything to him. !”
"That's good. You go slowly and I won't see you off." Su Liang nodded.
Uncle Liang stood up and disappeared.
As a result, when Su Liang was about to go back, he ran back again, looked at Su Liang and said, "You are now considered a respectable person. If my young master really comes back here and encounters any trouble, you have to help him!" "
Su Liang solemnly promised, "I will."
Only then did Uncle Liang really leave.
Su Liang shook his head, walked around the lake, and returned to Yuanming Pavilion. What she did tonight was not intended to repair the relationship between Uncle Liang and Gu Ling. They should have gone their separate ways long ago, and there was no need to get back together. But it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Uncle Liang is not very smart, but he has no bad intentions towards Gu Ling. He can easily be taken advantage of and do irrational things.
Su Liang talking to Uncle Liang was also a way to solve the problem. There is no irreconcilable conflict between them.
…
Qi Jun is a very reliable subordinate. Su Liang doesn't need to worry about anything next. He has a lot of time to read every day and doesn't go out unless necessary.
In the middle, Lin Wei and Chen Yun came to visit again, but this time Su Liang did not cook the food himself, but asked Qi Jun to buy food and wine from the restaurant.
During the dinner, Lin Xi mentioned Gu Ling, "I hope Gu Meiren can come back soon."
Chen Yun then asked, "Why? Do you know Marquis Changxin?"
"What Changxinhou?" Lin Xin spoke casually to Su Liang, "The last Changxinhou was executed. It was so unlucky! He should have been named Gu Meiren! He was the only one so beautiful that I A heart-wrenching man!”
Su Liang smiled half-heartedly, "Lin Ershan, are you saying that Gu Meiren is the most beautiful in the world, and you are the second?"
Lin Xian held his face in his hands and winked at Su Liang, "Isn't this young master beautiful?"
This action reminded Su Liang of Gu Ling's "Huahua", and he burst into laughter, "Beautiful, so beautiful!"
"Tch!" Lin Yi gave Su Liang a roll of his eyes, "I am the second best in the world, and you don't even look down on me, then only Beauty Gu can be worthy of you!"
Su Liang was still laughing, but Lin Yi said seriously, "Actually, you two are really well matched. It's not easy to find a man who can surpass you in terms of strength and mind. At least Gu Meiren's beauty is better than yours."
"It makes sense." Su Liang smiled and nodded.
"Really!" Lin Yi said seriously, "I'm not kidding you. If he really comes back to the capital, there's no guarantee you won't be fascinated. If you have a crush on someone else, as a friend, I have to be picky. If it's Gu Meiren, ,I agree!"
"You're not my father, is it your turn to agree or disagree?" Su Liang snorted.
Lin Wei chuckled, "I can be your brother! As long as you call me Brother Sheng, I will definitely treat you as my sister from now on!"
Su Liang shook his head, "You have a biological sister. I don't need it, thank you."
Lin Wei also shook his head, "You're welcome. My words are valid forever. Su Xiaoliang, please think about it again."
…
The night before Situ Xie left, a banquet was held in the palace to see him off. Su Liang couldn't avoid it, so she went to attend it with Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing.
At the banquet, Situ Yao showed off her superb piano skills. Su Liang looked at Duanmu Chen and was quite intoxicated. It really sounds good, and she also likes beautiful women playing the piano, which is pleasing to the eyes and ears. I thought about getting a good piano and putting it at home for Gu Ling to play. He must be very proficient.
Situ Xie did not ask Su Liang about Gu Ling again, which actually surprised Su Liang. He couldn't figure out whether this person really had no other intentions for Gu Ling or whether he was hiding it too deeply. She tended to think it was the latter.
After the banquet was over and Su Liang left the palace and returned home under the escort of Qi Jun, Gu Ling also saw Nian Jincheng on the other side.
Nian Jincheng never expected that Gu Ling would come to him suddenly. He only got the news yesterday that Gu Ling was pardoned. As for the fact that he himself had been pardoned, he didn't know yet.
"Why are you here? Where is Su Liang?" As soon as Nian Jincheng saw Gu Ling, he looked behind him.
Gu Ling shook his head, "She is in the capital."
"It's not convenient for her to come to the wedding banquet, so she asked you to give gifts?" Nian Jincheng sighed slightly, "Xiaoyu really wants to see Su Liang. When we got married, no one was invited. We just hope she can come."
Gu Ling didn't say anything. He took out Su Liang's letter to Yan Yu and handed it to Nian Jincheng.
Nian Jincheng took it with an inexplicable expression and frowned as he looked at it, "This..."
There was no need for Gu Ling to say anything. Although it was a letter to Yan Yu, Nian Jincheng knew exactly what was going on when he saw it.
"What do you think?" Gu Ling asked.
Nian Jincheng smiled bitterly, "I just want to get married to Xiaoyu as scheduled."
Gu Ling nodded, "Give her the letter and she will reject you."
Nian Jincheng: ...his brother is as good as ever at stabbing both ribs and hearts...
However, Nian Jincheng only said that he was sorry for the postponement of the wedding, not that he disagreed with Gu Ling and Su Liang's views. Especially the sentence in Su Liang's letter, "When you have children in the future, you can't let your children see their father as a two-faced child."
"You rest here while I go find Xiaoyu." Nian Jincheng put the letter back into the envelope and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"I'm hungry." Gu Ling said.
Nian Jincheng walked out, "I'm not Su Liang, I don't care about your food."
…
Although he was committed to life, this was the first time that Nian Jincheng came to Yan Yu's place late at night.
Yan Yu just felt a little surprised and thought there must be something important.
Hearing that Nian Jincheng said that Su Liang sent someone to send the letter and that he had read it, Yan Yu looked happy and quickly took it and opened the letter.
Soon, Yan Yu frowned slightly and his eyes became serious.
Nian Jincheng waited for Yan Yu to read the letter and then asked her cautiously, "If you don't want to postpone the wedding, let's find another way..."
Yan Yu suddenly smiled, "Of course we have to postpone it. Su Liang is right, let's just do it!"
Nian Jincheng sighed deeply, "Xiao Yu, don't you have any regrets about postponing the wedding?"
Seeing that Nian Jincheng looked a little hurt, Yan Yu held his arm with a smile, "I'm waiting to be the general's wife. The dowry will be generous."
Nian Jincheng looked serious and said, "Okay, I also want you to marry me in a glorious way."
…
When Nian Jincheng returned to his residence, he saw Gu Ling eating the snacks Yan Yu had made for him.
Nian Jincheng looked at Gu Ling and said, "I want to stay with Xiao Yu for a few more days. There are some things that need to be arranged here. You can hang around the area and we'll go together then."
Gu Ling finished the last piece of snack, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, put on his mask, and stood up, "No hurry. Say goodbye."
When Nian Jincheng came to his senses, where was Gu Ling's shadow in the room?
Nian Jincheng raised his forehead and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? You are obviously in a hurry."
