Go to Liang Country
The day after receiving Gu Ling's letter, Su Liang went to Lin's house to check the pulse of his two sisters-in-law, and was later called to play chess by Lin Shuzhi. Google search reading
"Master, I'm not good at playing chess, but someone is very good at it." Su Liang said.
Lin Shuzhi laid out a chess set that Su Liang gave him a few days ago and sighed slightly, "I thought of meeting someone in the academy last year and invited him to play chess several times, but he always found excuses to refuse."
Su Liang chuckled, "I'm afraid that the master will find out that his chess moves are wrong."
The game started, and as expected, Su Liang lost quickly.
Lin Shuzhi felt that Su Liang was not very interested, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, when someone comes back, I will definitely meet him as a teacher."
Su Liang nodded, "I bet Master will win. They should be arriving at the capital of Liang Kingdom soon."
"I have never been there before. It is said that the Liang Kingdom Palace is built on the mountain. It is magnificent and spectacular. If you have the chance, you must go and see it." Lin Shuzhi said.
Su Liang was about to say that she also wanted to take a look when she heard Lonicera's voice coming from outside the door, "Master, the emperor ordered you to enter the palace immediately."
Lin Shuzhi frowned when he heard this. After what had happened before, it could be seen that Duanmu Yi was quite tolerant of Su Liang, but deep down he still didn't like dealing with the royal family.
Su Liang stood up and took the cloak next to him, "Master, don't worry, maybe the weather has turned cold recently and some noble person is feeling unwell. I'm leaving."
Lonicera said that the person who delivered the oracle had returned to the palace, but did not say why.
Su Liang asked Liao Dong to go back, but she still insisted on accompanying Su Liang to the entrance of the palace and watched her go in alone.
When he saw Duanmu Yi, there were two experienced people present, a man and a woman. They were both young and had deep facial features, which reminded Su Liang of the guards Situ Xie had brought with him that time.
"These two are messengers sent by the King of Yue of the Liang Kingdom." Duanmu Yi said, "The Emperor of Liang has a strange disease, and the imperial doctors are helpless. The King of Yue has sent someone to invite you to visit the Liang Kingdom."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment and said respectfully, "We are young and inexperienced, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take on this important responsibility."
In fact, Su Liang was a little suspicious at this moment. Is Situ Xie really asking her to go to Liang Kingdom to treat his unknown emperor's son? Or is there another intention? Didn't these two people meet Gu Ling and his party on the road?
The woman in the messenger spoke up and said her name was Gu Yue, "Miracle Doctor Su is too humble. His Highness the King of Yue has said that as long as Doctor Su can cure the emperor, the conditions will be met."
Su Liang looked at Duanmu Yi, and he sighed and said, "You have come all the way here. For the sake of Emperor Liang's health, I would be really sorry if I didn't let Dr. Su go there. You two should take a rest first. Let’s talk to Dr. Su again.”
Someone came to invite the Gu brothers and sisters out, and when only Duanmu Yi and Su Liang were left, Su Liang asked, "Didn't they meet Marquis Chang Xin and his party on the road?"
Duanmu Yi hummed, "You are really thinking about Gu Ling all the time."
Su Liang smiled sheepishly. But she felt strange in her heart. Did Duanmu Yi really intend to let her go to Liang Country?
"They said they didn't know that Marquis Changxin had gone to Liang Kingdom. They had been traveling day and night without encountering him." Duanmu Yi answered Su Liang's question.
Su Liang nodded. It is indeed possible.
"Are you sure it's someone sent by the King of Yue?" Su Liang asked.
Duanmu Yi nodded, "They brought the Yue King's handwriting and token."
"Then what the emperor means..." Su Liang felt that if Duanmu Yi really let her go, he must have another purpose.
Sure enough, Duanmu Yi said next, "There was a machine master in the previous dynasty, surnamed Mu. It is said that before he died, he left a book of machine diagrams, which contained chariots and a variety of large weapons using machine skills. Over the years The three kingdoms are all looking for the descendants of the Mu family. Recently, I received news that the descendants of the Mu family are in the Kingdom of Liang and have joined the family of the King of Yue. "
Su Liang subconsciously asked, "Is the news reliable?" Then he quickly said, "Wei Chen is definitely not questioning the emperor, he is just casually saying, please forgive me."
Duanmu Yi shook his head, "It doesn't matter. The news is credible."
In this way, Su Liang suspected that Duanmu Yi must have arranged something for the Liang royal family or Situ Xie. And this is normal.
At the same time, Su Liang also guessed what Duanmu Yi wanted her to do in Liang Country.
"It's cold and the road is far away. I should have refused and not allowed you to go to the Liang Kingdom. But the secret plan is very important. Even if the Qian Kingdom cannot, we must not let the Liang Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom get it and create it!" Duanmu Yi His eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Liang nodded, "Wei Chen understands." The so-called cooperation between countries is only temporary and superficial, and the essentially hostile relationship absolutely existed before "life or death".
"Go to Liang Kingdom, get rid of the descendants of the Mu family, and come back with a plan." Duanmu Yi's eyes were dark, "I can't think of a more suitable candidate than you for this matter! Don't let me down! Take Lonicera with you. , if necessary, ask Chang Xinhou for help.”
Su Liang nodded, then frowned and said, "If something goes wrong with such an important thing, the King of Yue will definitely find it out soon. Wei Chen is worried that it will be difficult to escape after getting it." She was thinking of the Lin brothers. If it was just her and Gu Ling, it would not be difficult to leave after stealing the treasure, but on the surface, many people in Qian Country had gone.
"I believe you will find a way." Duanmu Yi smiled.
Su Liang:...Should she be moved by Duanmu Yi's respect?
Whether it is public or private, Su Liang will not refuse this matter. The general trend of the world will inevitably converge after a long period of time. This is beyond her control. But she is from the Qian country, and now the Qian country is the most powerful. She hopes that the Qian country will eventually dominate the world.
After taking on the secret mission, Su Liang took the opportunity to ask Duanmu Yi for some of the royal family's treasured medicines.
The day of departure is tomorrow.
Su Liang left the palace and took Ren Dong home.
Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu were waiting for Su Liang here to discuss with her about the banquet for the wedding.
"The emperor is looking for you, is there anything?" Nian Jincheng asked as soon as he saw Su Liang.
Su Liang took off his cloak, and Ren Dong took it. She walked over and sat down, nodded and said, "Something happened."
Yan Yu's expression changed slightly, "What happened again?"
Su Liang smiled, "Don't be nervous. It's a good thing. My wish can be fulfilled."
Nian Jincheng heard this and his expression was happy, "The emperor granted you and A Ling a marriage? That's great!"
"Really?" Yan Yu was also happy, "Why is it so sudden?"
Su Liang held his forehead, "Stop! You two can get married, don't stare at me, I don't want to get married, marrying Gu Ling is not my wish. Besides, how could the emperor grant us a marriage for no reason?"
Nian Jincheng frowned, "What's that?"
Su Liang's lips curled slightly, "I can go to Liangguo to see the snow."
Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu were both speechless.
When it was learned that the Emperor of Liang had a strange disease, the King of Yue sent someone to invite Su Liang to treat him. Yan Yu couldn't help but worry, "What if he can't be cured? What if you go and he dies of the disease, will it be your fault? The King of Yue shouldn't want to trick you over and kill you, right?"
"Not really. In this season, Liang will not do anything to provoke war." Su Liang shook his head. It was too cold, and a war in the north would be very disadvantageous to Liang.
"Why would the emperor agree? Did Liang give him some great benefits?" Yan Yu was puzzled.
Su Liang nodded, "Almost. But it's not a benefit, it's that the emperor wants me to go and get it myself."
Su Liang briefly told Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu about the descendants of the Mu family and the mechanism map, and found that they both knew about the Mu family, and only Su Liang heard about it today. Even Nian Jincheng knew that the royal family had been secretly looking for the descendants of the Mu family.
"Such an important matter, just leave it to you alone? It's too dangerous." Yan Yu learned the whole story and became more worried.
"More people may not make things easier, especially for things like this that cannot be known to others." Su Liang said, "Besides, Gu Ling is over there, and I'm much faster than them when I rush there. When I get there, he must still be in Liang Country. The emperor knows that he is strong, so let's join forces."
From this incident, Duanmu Yi definitely did not put the matter of "separating Su Liang and Gu Ling" before the interests of the country. In other words, Duanmu Yi was probably skeptical about the so-called omen.
"The only problem is..." Su Liang sighed deeply.
Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu both looked at her, wondering what was wrong.
Then Su Liang said, "I can't drink at your wedding."
Nian Jincheng sighed, "It's a pity that you and A Ling are not here, but business is more important."
Yan Yu said at the same time, "This is easy, let's get married next year!"
Nian Jincheng held his forehead, "Xiao Yu, don't push it, we can still get married even if they are not here."
Yan Yu asked back, "Isn't Gu Ling your best friend?"
Nian Jincheng shook his head, "It doesn't matter if she is not here."
Yan Yu chuckled, "But Su Liang is the most important person to me. How can we get married without her?"
Nian Jincheng looked at Su Liang and asked her to say something.
Su Liang held Yan Yu's hand, "Don't postpone the wedding date any longer, or you'll have more troubles. Don't you want to live together openly when we're not here? It's so cold, it's so warm to sleep together."
Nian Jincheng coughed lightly, "That's right, you and A Ling are in Liang Country, it's so cold, it's okay."
Su Liang snorted lightly, "I'm helping you, think it over before you speak."
Nian Jincheng's face straightened, "You're right."
"Mr. Qin is the matchmaker, and when the time comes, we'll invite people from the Qin, Lin, Xing, and Wan families to the wedding banquet, and Xue Qing will accompany you." Su Liang said to Yan Yu, "You should get married and live together as soon as possible, so that I can rest assured when I'm away."
"Okay then." Yan Yu sighed, "It can only be this way."
Yan Yu said she wanted to prepare luggage for Su Liang, but someone brought a big box over, which was full of thick clothes and a valuable silver fox cloak.
Su Liang only picked out two items, "We have to ride a horse this time, so it's not convenient to bring too many things."
"It's too hard." Yan Yu felt sorry for Su Liang. Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful and leisurely life?
Nian Jincheng said that this is called more work for those who are capable, but Yan Yu twisted him twice and told him to shut up.
In the afternoon, Su Liang went to say goodbye to Lin Shuzhi. Lin Shuzhi was also a little worried, but thinking that Gu Ling was there, as long as Su Liang could reach the destination safely and reunite with Gu Ling, it would be fine.
"Master, don't worry, someone and I will definitely bring the two brothers back safely." Su Liang said to Lin Shuzhi.
Lin Shuzhi shook his head, "You all have to come back well, communicate in time when encountering problems, and work together."
It happened that the Lin family wanted to send a letter to Xuanbei City, and Su Liang could help take it over.
Su Liang went to the Zhongxin Marquis' Mansion again and took the letter from the Xing family to Xing Ji, as well as the letter from Qi Yan to his father and brother.
In the evening, Wan Hui brought Zheng'er to see Su Liang off.
"This is a gift for Aunt and Uncle Ning." Zheng'er held a delicate box in front of Su Liang.
Su Liang opened it, and inside was a pair of teardrop-shaped black jade pendants.
Wan Hui smiled and said that the Wan family had just obtained them not long ago.
"This is for Aunt, and this is for Uncle Ning!" Zheng'er pointed with his little hand, "Aunt is going to Liang Country, is Uncle Ning in Liang Country?"
Wan Hui sighed, but Su Liang nodded, "Maybe, if I see him, I will give it to him."
Zheng'er nodded happily and said, "It must be there!"
After Wanhui and Zheng'er left, Su Liang put the two jade pendants into the little rabbit's purse, planning to wait until Liang Guo saw Gu Ling and give him one.
…
A night of silence.
The next day, Su Liang got up early and opened the window. A cold wind hit her face. The ground outside was covered with white. At first, she thought it was frost, but later she found out it was snow.
The first snowfall in the capital was not heavy. There was only a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the snowflakes in the air were dancing in the wind.
Situ Xie sent a pair of siblings, the elder sister was named Gu Yue and the younger brother was named Gu Xiang. They had been waiting outside the Su Mansion early in the morning.
After Su Liang and Liao Dong had breakfast and packed up to set off, Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing came to see them off.
Lin Xueqing learned yesterday that Su Liang was going on a long trip, so she went to the Huguo Temple to ask for a peace charm for her.
Su Liang accepted it and put it in her purse, promising Lin Xueqing that she would not let the peace charm leave her body.
Duanmu Chen sent Chang'an to give Su Liang a dagger, telling her to use it for self-defense.
Of course Su Liang had a dagger. She suspected that Duanmu Chen had put a letter for her in the scabbard, so she accepted it without opening it in front of anyone.
While people on the street were chatting, Su Liang and his party of four rode past and headed towards the city gate.
Duanmu Chen, who was sitting in the teahouse, holding a cup of warm tea, looked back at Chang'an who came in. Looking out again, Su Liang could no longer be seen.
"Master, Miss Su has accepted the dagger," Chang An said.
Duanmu Chen put down his teacup and said, "Yeah."
"It's freezing cold, Miss Su is working too hard." Chang'an sighed.
"This is nothing to her." Duanmu Chen shook his head. He hoped that the Qian Kingdom royal family could get the agency map, but he didn't want Su Liang to leave the capital for so long. Since returning to Beijing from Bei'an County last year, Duanmu Chen has been very clear that at least half of the credit for everything he has achieved now must go to Su Liang. He didn't want anything to happen to Su Liang.
"I don't know if Miss Su can come back in time, but Marquis Changxin went to Liang Kingdom. Miss Su should be very happy to see him there." Chang'an said.
Duanmu Chen hummed, "Of course, I have never seen her be so enthusiastic about others."
"Maybe when they come back from Liang Kingdom, Marquis Changxin will fall in love with Miss Su!" Chang'an said.
Duanmu Chen said in a faint tone, "Let's talk about it first when we get back safely."
