Pick Him Sooner or Later

Su Liang got up early to exercise, and Liandong followed her. After finishing, she saw Qi Jun standing next to the martial arts field. Google search reading

"Master, I reunited with my brother and wrote a letter to my father." Qi Jun said with a smile that he was going back to "work".

Su Liang nodded, "I'll give you a holiday next."

Qi Jun held his forehead and said, "My subordinates don't have anywhere to go. My brother said that I was no longer needed and asked me to come back quickly..."

"It's cold in the north, why don't you go give winter clothes to your father and Uncle Xing?" Su Liang suggested.

Qi Jun was stunned. In fact, before Su Liang returned to Sujiacun, he proposed that Qi Jun go to Xuanbei City to visit his father. But at that time, Qi Jun thought that there was no one around Su Liang and refused to go.

"Are you going to discuss it with your brother again?" Su Liang waved his hand, "I'm not driving you away, I'm just giving you a holiday. I have nothing important to do here, and I have no plans to go back and become a general for the time being."

Qi Jun knew that Su Liang was sincerely considerate of him and really cared about his father who was far away in the border area, so he nodded in agreement, "Then I'll ask my brother if he wants to take a trip to Xuanbei City."

Just as he was about to leave, Qi Jun turned around and asked, "Master and Gu Meiren..."

Su Liang chuckled, "What do you think?"

Qi Jun said seriously, "As long as the master likes it, then of course it is a match made in heaven!"

"You should also pay attention to your life-long events." Su Liang glanced at Lonicera and then at Qi Jun with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Rendong and Qi Jun glanced at each other subconsciously.

Ling Dong blurted out, "Master, I'm not familiar with Guard Qi!"

Qi Jun coughed lightly, "Yes, my subordinates and Miss Lonicera don't have the kind of relationship that the master wants."

Su Liang blinked, "What are you thinking about? I mean you each think about your own life-long affairs. Tell me who you like. I don't want you two to solve it internally."

Honeysuckle lowers its head and counts ants.

Qi Jun looked up at the clouds.

Su Liang walked away silently.

…

After a while, Qi Jun appeared again and said that after discussing with Qi Yan, he decided to visit his father Qi Jiang in Xuanbei City. In fact, Xing Yusheng proposed that Qi Yan also go, but both brothers believed that one of them must stay behind to look after the family.

"The old lady wants to write a letter to the Marquis and prepare thick clothes. I will go to the Marquis' Mansion to pick them up later before leaving." Qi Jun said.

Su Liang took out a package and handed it to Qi Jun.

Qi Jun took it, opened it, and found that it was full of medicine, "For self-defense for subordinates?"

Su Liang shook his head, "It's for your father. It's extremely cold in winter, and his old injuries may recur. Please keep him warm and not be careless."

Brother Qi Yan and Qi Jun had asked Su Liang to treat Qi Jiang before, so she knew Qi Jiang's physical condition very well. He was seriously injured in his early years and did not fully recover, leaving behind the root of the disease.

Qi Jun was moved in his heart, "Thank you, Master!"

"This is for you." Su Liang took out two more white porcelain medicine bottles, "One is for stopping bleeding and healing injuries, and the other is for detoxifying, for self-defense."

Qi Jun quickly took it and said, "I will be careful on the road."

"Don't be in a hurry to come back. You can spend the New Year with your dad there." Su Liang said.

Qi Jun nodded, "Okay."

When he went out, Qi Jun ran into Lonicera.

"Guard Qi, take care." Lonicera said.

Qi Jun nodded, "Thank you Miss Lonicera. I'll ask you to worry about the rest of my master's affairs."

As soon as the words fell, the two passed by each other.

…

Nowadays, many people in the capital are paying attention to Su Liang's pursuit of Gu Ling, which directly leads to better business at Wanjia Restaurant. There are quite a few diners who have nothing to do and come to watch the excitement.

Near noon, except for the two private rooms facing the street that Gu Ling and Su Liang each booked, the first and second floors of Wanjia Restaurant were full of guests.

Mr. Qin and his second grandson Qin Yuyan, who loves to have fun, are also sitting in a private room on the second floor. Qin Yuyan looks out from time to time, "Why aren't you here yet?"

Mr. Qin asked him to sit down quickly, "You've been out of shape all day, so be careful your father beats you up."

Qin Yuyan chuckled and sat next to Mr. Qin, "Obviously grandpa wanted to come, and I accompanied him with filial piety. How can it be my fault?"

Mr. Qin coughed lightly, "I haven't eaten out for a long time, so I came out for a change."

"Grandpa obviously wants to see with his own eyes how your favorite Miss Su pursues Gu Meiren!" Qin Yuyan pointed out directly, "I want to see it too. When I wanted to pursue Miss Su, my father kicked me out, and you all said I have no self-awareness, and I didn’t expect that the amazingly talented Miss Su would be rejected one day, haha!”

As soon as Qin Yuyan finished speaking, Mr. Qin hit him with a cane, "Are you comparable to Gu Ling?"

Qin Yuyan looked at the sky speechlessly, "Grandpa and dad both like that girl from the Su family. I agree, but what is the relationship between grandpa and Gu Ling?"

Mr. Qin smiled slightly, "That's the person Liang Yatou likes."

Qin Yuyan's mouth twitched slightly, "Grandpa, you are making no sense! That person didn't like your favorite cool girl. Shouldn't grandpa hate him?"

Mr. Qin stroked his neatly trimmed beard on the ground, "Then the boy doesn't like Liang Yatou? He's just pretending."

Qin Yuyan: ...The central idea is that Liang Yatou is the best, most beautiful and outstanding? Although, indeed, he also felt so...

…

"Su Zhuangyuan is here!"

There was a commotion at the door, and Qin Yuyan rushed out immediately, and saw two beautiful girls entering the restaurant hand in hand. Even the skirts were made of the same material, light smoky purple, but with different cuts. They looked like twin sisters.

One is Su Liang and the other is Yan Yu. This sister's outfit was custom-made by Yan Yu.

"Is that the rumored eldest lady of the Yan family? She is beautiful and capable. I have to ask Su Liang to introduce her to me." Qin Yuyan stared at Yan Yu.

When Su Liang and Yan Yu went up to the second floor in front of everyone, they saw Qin Yuyan standing outside the door of a private room and waving warmly to them, "Miss Su! My grandpa is here too!"

After Su Liang heard this, he came over with Yan Yu to pay homage to Mr. Qin.

"Is this Miss Yan? Qin Yuyan, you should know my sister Yujin. I heard her mention you." Qin Yuyan smiled gracefully.

Yan Yu greeted him politely, and then followed Su Liang in to see Mr. Qin without looking away.

When Mr. Qin saw Su Liang, he happily asked her and Yan Yu to sit down without being polite.

"My grandpa came to see how you pursue Meiren Gu!" As soon as Qin Yuyan opened his mouth, he "betrayed" Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin really wanted to kick Qin Yuyan out.

Su Liang chuckled, "Thank you, Grandpa Qin, for your concern."

"Are you really attracted to that boy from the Gu family?" Mr. Qin asked Su Liang.

Su Liang nodded and answered in the affirmative.

"Just because he looks good?" Qin Yuyan asked.

Su Liang nodded again, "That's not ordinary good-looking."

Mr. Qin couldn't help laughing, "You girl, you are really shameless, haha!"

Qin Yuyan gave a thumbs up, "Hero among women, I support you! But may I ask, does Miss Yan have an engagement?"

Yan Yu was originally listening to Mr. Qin talking to Su Liang, but he was suddenly stunned when Qin Yuyan called his name.

Mr. Qin skillfully picked up the crutch and gave it to Qin Yuyan again, "You've been fooling around all day! Go out and stand outside. When you see the Gu boy coming, ask him to come over, and tell him that I have something to do with him!"

Qin Yuyan silently stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and blinked at Yan Yu.

Yan Yu immediately lowered his head and heard Mr. Qin ask kindly, "Does Miss Xiao Yan have an engagement?"

Su Liang coughed lightly, "No, but she is not suitable for the Second Young Master Qin." In fact, there is, but the disparity in family status is the second priority. If Nian Jincheng knew that his wife was being targeted, he would probably go berserk.

"Did you hear that? Stand outside!" Mr. Qin waved his hand to Qin Yuyan with a look of disgust.

Qin Yuyan turned around and opened the door and went out.

Mr. Qin's face changed instantly and he looked at Su Liang with a smile on his face, "Would you like me to be a matchmaker and help you connect with the Gu family boy?"

Su Liang smiled, "Thank you, Grandpa Qin, but I won't use it for the time being."

"That kid has always been a loner, but he must be a good kid. I think you two are a good match." Mr. Qin said with a smile.

When Su Liang heard this, he asked, "Has Grandpa Qin seen what he looked like when he was a child?"

Mr. Qin nodded, "Of course I have seen it before. He is even prettier than the fairy boy in the painting that year. I even hugged him. His boss was not happy at the time, haha!"

The image of an awkward little milk baby appeared in Su Liang's mind. Someone is still very childish, but it's just not visible on the surface.

While they were chatting, the food was served. Qin Yuyan stared at the door boredly, "Isn't it possible that Gu Meiren won't come today?" Hua Luo ordered his entourage to go outside to inquire.

As a result, the entourage soon got the news and came back, "Second Young Master, I heard that Marquis Changxin went to Huguo Temple today!"

Qin Yuyan walked in with a playful look on his face, "Miss Su Liang, look, Beauty Gu knows you are coming today and is avoiding you on purpose!"

Su Liang looked "surprised", "He went to Huguo Temple? I asked him yesterday to go to Huguo Temple to see the clouds today. He refused, but did he still go? Then I'll go there right now!"

Mr. Qin: ...This girl is really fascinated!

Qin Yuyan: ...Sure enough, if you are beautiful, you can do whatever you want!

Yan Yu: ...Knowing the truth, she had to work hard to stay calm so as not to laugh...

"Grandpa, let's go to Huguo Temple too?" Qin Yuyan suggested enthusiastically.

Mr. Qin waved to him to sit down and stop making trouble. He turned to Su Liang and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. If you really like it, you can win it as soon as possible!"

Therefore, the diners in the restaurant did not wait for Gu Ling to show up, but saw Su Liang leaving again. Soon word spread that Gu Meiren went to Huguo Temple, and Su Zhuangyuan chased after her.

Su Liang didn't take Lonicera with her, and went out to ride horses with Yan Yu in the direction of Huguo Temple.

It was already noon, and there was no one at the foot of Huguo Temple. The two of them tied their horses and climbed up the stairs.

As he walked, Yan Yu saw no one around, and when he was about to talk about Nian Jincheng, he saw Su Liang's eyes suddenly became alert and he glanced towards the woods on the right.

Yan Yu immediately fell silent, and while walking, she recalled the self-defense skills Su Liang taught her.

After walking a few steps, two masked men suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

One of them raised his hand and said, "Miss Su, the host invites you! Come with us!"

When Su Liang heard the word "host", he knew he was from the Yan Shiqi sect. The message Gu Ling sent yesterday informed Su Liang that Yan Shiba was controlled by Yan Shiqi.

Su Liang's face was calm, "Many people know that I have come to Huguo Temple. My sudden disappearance in broad daylight will arouse the emperor's suspicion. Please go back and tell your host that I will see you at the shore of Jingyue Lake at midnight tonight." ”

The two masked men obviously didn't expect Su Liang's reaction. After looking at each other, they didn't know whether they should take action. Yan Shiqi told him that if Su Liang resisted, he would take it down, but Su Liang didn't resist...

The last two assassins who came to deliver the message decided to go back and report to Yan Shiqi for the decision, and then left.

Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Su Liang to walk a few steps quickly, and whispered, "You should not associate with people from Yanyun Tower in the future. There are no good assassins."

Yan Yu's brother Yan Feng died at the hands of Yan Shiba. Although it was later proved that Yan Feng was not a good person, he was Yan Yu's brother after all. Although Yan Shiba also helped to save Nian Jincheng, Yan Yu himself would never be friends with someone like Yan Shiba.

Su Liang nodded, "Indeed. Don't worry, I know."

Su Liang never took the initiative to provoke people from Yanyun Tower. When she saved Yan Shiba, her real purpose was to use her to deal with Yan Sui. Later, Gu Ling was able to successfully kill Yan Sui, largely because Yan Shiba had injured Yan Sui, causing his strength to weaken. If not, it would not be easy for Gu Ling to win, and Su Liang's safety would also be greatly threatened.

As for what happened later, in simple terms, Yan Shiba had been pestering Su Liang.

Until now, Su Liang still doesn't think Yan Shiba is a good person, and he never wants her to harm the young monk Chengyun. Even if he asked Yan Shiba for help, Yan Shiba owed her.

"Are you going to save Yan Shiba?" Yan Yu still looked a little worried, "Wouldn't that make us enemies with the entire Yanyun Tower? It's too dangerous."

"It's not because of Yan Shiba. Yan Shiqi is a lunatic. He first troubled Gu Ling, and now he's looking for me. Hiding is not a solution." Su Liang shook his head, "Let's go to Huguo Temple."

Yan Yu understood, and Su Liang wanted to discuss countermeasures with Gu Ling.

...

The two went to Huguo Temple and asked about it. Gu Ling was with the abbot Master Puhui, but Master Puhui said that he would not see other guests today, so Su Liang and Yan Yu were stopped.

The two went to the dining hall of Huguo Temple to have a vegetarian meal.

The young monk who was familiar with Chengyun thought Su Liang was looking for him again, so he told Chengyun, and Chengyun came over.

"Donor Su, did Xiaohu return home safely?" Chengyun asked about Bai Xiaohu as soon as he saw Su Liang.

Su Liang nodded, "Well, you can rest assured. Thank you for your help with the previous matter."

Chengyun asked Su Liang what he wanted to see him for, and Su Liang asked him to help see when Gu Ling came out from Master Puhui, and to ask Gu Ling to go to the back mountain to see her.

Chengyun was puzzled, "Donor Su, are you here to see Donor Gu?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes, I have something important to ask him."

Chengyun agreed, "Okay. Wait for Donor Gu to come out, and I will tell him."

Then Su Liang took Yan Yu to the back mountain to see the scenery.

...

Gu Ling played a few games with Master Puhui, ate vegetarian food together at noon, drank tea, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as he went out, he saw Chengyun coming up to him, "Donor Gu, my name is Chengyun. There is a donor Su Liang who wants to see you. She is waiting in the back mountain."

Master Puhui was still beside him. Gu Ling frowned slightly, "Please tell her that I am not free." He was about to leave.

Chengyun frowned, "Donor Gu, you should go. Donor Su must have something important to ask you."

Gu Ling was still worried that the honest little monk would give up after hearing his refusal. How could he go to the back mountain to find Su Liang in that case? When he heard Chengyun speak again, he sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, I will go and tell her clearly."

Chengyun led Gu Ling to the back mountain, but he didn't know that Gu Ling was more familiar with this place than he was.

When they arrived at the back mountain, they saw Su Liang and Yan Yu sitting in the pavilion.

"Donor Su, Donor Gu is here." Chengyun said.

Su Liang stood up and greeted him, "Thank you."

Chengyun nodded slightly and turned away.

After walking a few steps and looking back, he saw Su Liang trying to pull Gu Ling's arm, but Gu Ling avoided him. Cheng Yun looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on, and quickened his pace.

"Gu Hou, everyone loves beauty, and I'm not a monster. I just want you to sit over there." Su Liang looked "hurt", and suddenly lowered his voice and said quickly, "On the way up the mountain just now, someone from Yanyun Tower came to me. I made an appointment with Yan Shiqi tonight at Jingyue Lake at midnight."

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "Miss Su, please respect yourself. If you touch me again, don't blame me for being rude." As he spoke, his tone became lighter, "Don't go."

Su Liang sighed, "Gu Hou, what kind of girl do you like?" He lowered his voice, "Yan Shiqi won't give up."

Gu Ling's face was calm, "Miss Su, please don't ask such boring questions again." His voice became lighter, "I'll go find him."

Su Liang understood. She won't go then, but Yan Shiqi will most likely go there in person. Gu Ling can secretly follow Yan Shiqi and find his hiding place. As for being monitored by the emperor, it is not impossible to solve it.

Yan Yu turned around silently and looked at the edge of the cliff. She could no longer look directly at the two guys who were too immersed in the play...

"Gu Hou, I just want to be friends with you. Why should I reject you?" Su Liang looked serious.

Gu Ling turned away indifferently, "I don't want to be friends with you."

Su Liang smiled at Gu Ling's back, "Then, if we are not friends, how about being husband and wife?"

Gu Ling paused slightly. He knew that Su Liang was acting, but he was moved. He wanted to turn around and nod and say "yes", but his reason told him that it was not possible. Someone was watching in the dark, and it would look very strange...

But Gu Ling couldn't say anything to refuse, so he didn't look back and walked straight away.

Su Liang sighed as he looked at his back, "What a beautiful flower! I will pick him sooner or later!"

Gu Ling, who had not yet walked far away: ... I hope it will be sooner...
