A Gift for You

There is a place at the foot of Wolong Snow Mountain for people who come down the mountain to rest. At this time, the lights are bright. Google search reading

When Gu Ling and Su Liang arrived at the fastest speed, Lin Bojun was about to lead his troops to the mountain again to find Lin Xi. At this time, there was a team of people on the mountain looking for him, but there was no news yet.

"Cousin?" Situ Zhang, one of the twins, saw Gu Ling.

Lin Bojun turned back in response, looking surprised, "Xiao Liang?! You are here!"

"Is this Su Liang, the divine doctor?" Situ Min, the other twin, came forward to greet Su Liang, but Su Liang passed him and came to Lin Bojun's side.

"What's going on with Lin Xi?" Su Liang frowned and asked Lin Bojun. She knew Lin Xi. Although his personality was a bit erratic, he was definitely not a fool and would not run around alone in a place like the snow mountain.

Lin Bojun briefly told what happened. They were almost at the top of the mountain at that time. The terrain was very steep, and there were guards from the Yue Palace in front and behind. A guard at the back of the team accidentally walked onto an icy slope and slipped. Lin Qi heard the scream and rushed to save him first. He grabbed the guard, and the two of them slid down the cliff together.

Everything happened too fast.

In fact, if Lin Qi hadn't rushed over, the people in the Yue Palace would not choose to save the first guard who slipped, even if he would be buried in the snow mountain. Because such a thing has happened before, there is a high possibility that saving people will be buried with them. The guards have only one duty, to protect the master. Even if they sacrifice themselves, it can only be for the master.

All the guards know that if any of them are unlucky and get into trouble, they don't need to care.

But Lin Qi didn't know such a rule. If he knew, he probably wouldn't choose to bring this group of people to climb the mountain. Even if he knew after coming, with his personality, he would not let them die.

While Lin Bojun was telling Su Liang, Situ Zhang had already told Gu Ling, looking ashamed, "It's my fault. I didn't tell General Lin clearly in advance that the guards who followed him up the mountain had signed a life and death agreement."

Situ Zhang lied about this. No one signed a life and death agreement.

If there is, it is invisible. The selected guards can only accept their fate and take it as bad luck if something happens.

After Situ Zhang finished his last sentence, he heard an angry female voice next to him, "If Lin Qi has any accident, you can't afford the consequences!"

Situ Zhang knew that Su Liang was invited to save the emperor, so he naturally didn't dare to offend her. Hearing this, he apologized again and promised to send all the people he could to find Lin Qi.

"Second brother, you go back, I'll go find him." Su Liang said to Lin Bojun.

Lin Bojun shook his head. He went with Lin Qi, how could he feel at ease if he came back alone?

"You are tired, go back and rest, I will go, there is nothing to discuss." Su Liang took the trekking pole from Lin Bojun without saying anything.

There was no time to lose, Lin Bojun did not want to argue with Su Liang, and he was indeed exhausted, so he listened to her and found a leather coat for Su Liang to wear.

But there were no suitable hiking shoes for Su Liang here, because no woman had ever gone up the mountain in this season. Su Liang said it was okay, she bought a few pairs of leather boots that looked heavy but were very warm after arriving in Liangguo.

Honeysuckle chased after her, and Su Liang ordered her to stay and protect Lin Bojun.

"Second brother, you can't let her go. If something happens again, we really can't afford it." Situ Min whispered to Situ Zhang.

Situ Zhang's expression changed, and the two brothers came together to persuade Su Liang not to go up the mountain.

Su Liang said with a cold face, "Okay, I can't go, then you go."

Situ Zhang and Situ Min were counterattacked, and after looking at each other, they didn't say anything. Going into the mountains during the day is risky, let alone at night. They all cherish their lives.

"Since the two Situ masters can't go, don't stop me." Su Liang said coldly, "Lin Qi is my important friend. I'll have a good chat with you two when I find him."

Seeing Su Liang's bad tone, Situ Zhang turned around and saw Gu Ling next to him, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, please persuade Dr. Su. She can't get into trouble!"

As a result, Gu Ling asked a more sharp question, "So it doesn't matter to you if Lin Qi gets into trouble?"

How could Situ Zhang and Situ Min dare to respond to this? It was the two of them who proposed the activity of climbing the snow mountain. Situ Jing also opposed it, fearing that something might happen. Situ Zhang and Situ Min insisted that Lin Qi and Lin Bojun were both martial artists and it was impossible for them to get into trouble. They lied that Lin Qi and Lin Bojun had to go.

But in fact, Lin Bojun and Lin Qi didn't know that they could climb Wolong Snow Mountain in winter at first. It was Situ Min who took the initiative to bring it up, and he said it lightly.

Situ Min was a famous playboy in Yaocheng. He wanted to go because he made a bet to pursue a girl. But if he went alone, Situ Xie and Situ Jing would not allow it, so they pulled Lin Qi and Lin Bojun as a cover.

Originally, if Lin Qi didn't go to save people, nothing would happen.

Seeing that Su Liang was ready to leave, Gu Ling followed him, and Situ Zhang hurriedly grabbed him, "Cousin, where are you going?"

Gu Ling shook off Situ Zhang, "Lin Qi is my friend, I'm going to find him. You two can discuss first, if Lin Qi gets into trouble, who will be buried with him."

Situ Zhang and Situ Min's faces froze when they heard this, and they could only watch Su Liang and Gu Ling lead people into the mountains.

When Situ Xie and Lin Boyan arrived, two quarters of an hour had passed since Su Liang and Gu Ling set out.

Situ Xie raised his hand and slapped Situ Zhang and Situ Min, scolding them to send the Lin brothers back to the posthouse to rest, and he would personally lead the troops into the mountains to search and rescue.

As soon as Lin Boyan confirmed that Lin Bojun was fine, he felt a chill on his face and it started to snow again.

"We'll wait here." Lin Boyan said without trying to dissuade Situ Xie.

"That's fine." Situ Xie nodded, asked about the location of Lin Wei's accident, quickly made arrangements, and personally led the troops to set off.

Not long after, Peng Wei and Peng Fan's grandson also came. They didn't know Lin Wei and Gu Ling, but they came here for Su Liang.

When he learned that Su Liang had gone to the mountain to look for someone, Peng Wei was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Why didn't anyone stop her?"

"Grandpa, let me take someone to find him." Peng Fan volunteered.

Peng Wei raised his foot and kicked him, "You haven't even entered Wolong Snow Mountain, what are you looking for?"

Peng Wei was his precious grandson and never let Peng Fan participate in the mountain climbing competition, even though Peng Fan wanted to go several times.

Peng Wei asked Peng Fan to go home immediately and find the old housekeeper of Peng Mansion. They were Peng Wei's old subordinates who were very familiar with Wolong Mountain. They often went together when they were young. If Peng Wei hadn't been in poor health, he would have gone there in person.

So, not long after, Butler Peng set off with a team that was very familiar with Wolong Snow Mountain and fully equipped. The task Peng Wei gave them was to find Su Liang and ensure her safe return.

At this time, Su Liang had been walking in the mountains for an hour. It was late at night, the temperature was extremely low, and there was wind and snow. She felt that her face was freezing and she had to rub it with her hands from time to time.

Going back in time, Su Liang would still choose to go into the mountains to find a coward. Even in a different place, Lin Wei would definitely do such a thing for her.

Gu Ling walked beside Su Liang. Because others were around, the two of them had little communication.

Su Liang suddenly remembered the jade pendant given to her by Zheng'er, so she took one out of her purse, pretended to be slippery, and grabbed Gu Ling's hand.

Gu Ling felt a piece of jade being placed in the palm of his hand. Although he didn't know why Su Liang gave it to him, he still subconsciously held Su Liang's hand and said, "Miss Su, be careful."

When Gu Ling let go, the cold jade pendant had been warmed by the two people's hands. He held it in his hand and followed the guide forward while keeping an eye on Su Liang, fearing that she would fall.

…

This night was destined to be restless.

Situ Jing heard Situ Min kneeling in front of him and told him the whole story, and kicked him to the ground, "If my grandfather knows about this, he will definitely kill you!"

"Brother, what should I do? If Lin really dies, I will be doomed!" Situ Min looked panicked.

Situ Jing stared, "Let everyone who knows about the bet disappear. I will just pretend that I don't know about this matter, and none of you are allowed to mention it again!"

Situ Min's face turned ugly, but Situ Zhang had already spoken, "I'll deal with it. Third brother, please calm down and don't let others see your guilty conscience. Even if Lin Xian is really dead, we can't be entirely blamed."

"Gu Ling actually said that we should pay for Lin Qi's life. Who does he think he is? I really don't understand why my grandfather is so obedient to him." Situ Min stood up, his tone was not angry.

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped hard by Situ Jing again, "Shut up! Gu Ling is the Changxin Marquis of Qian Kingdom, not a member of the Situ family, remember!"

Situ Zhang quickly smoothed things over, "Third brother, please stop saying a few words. Don't be angry, brother. Third brother knows he was wrong."

In the middle of the night, Situ Yao brought hot soup and snacks. Situ Jing asked her to take them to the Lin brothers. In addition, he also invited several imperial doctors from Liang Kingdom to wait here and had them prepare hot ginger soup.

The oiran from the largest brothel in Yaocheng, as well as the maidservant who served her, mysteriously disappeared that night. In order to avoid affecting the business, the madam lied that the oiran had caught a cold and was sent elsewhere to recuperate.

…

The sky will be bright.

The first one to come back was Situ Xie. He looked tired and was being supported. When he learned that Su Liang and Gu Ling had not returned yet, his expression became ugly.

By daybreak, the news had spread throughout Yaocheng.

Prince Liang also came. He only said a few symbolic words to Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun before leaving.

It wasn't until almost noon that good news finally came: Gu Ling and Su Liang had found Lin Wei and were on their way back!

Lin Boyan breathed a huge sigh of relief, as long as the person is alive, it will be fine.

The people who came back to report the news were people from the Su Liang faction. By the time they returned safely, another hour had passed. Lin Wei and the guard he rescued were both injured and were carried back.

The snow was still falling. As soon as the Lin brothers saw Su Liang appear in their sight, they heard Lin Xie's teasing voice, "Su Xiaoliang, Gu Xiaoling has prepared a gift for you in Ningxiangju. You will definitely like it!"

"Marquis Changxin, is it true?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling shook his head, "Fake."

Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun both breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lonicera ran over and felt relieved when he saw that Su Liang's face was red from the cold but not injured.

Gu Ling's face looked even colder in the wind and snow. He ignored the wet corners of his clothes and looked like an immortal who had walked out of the snow-capped mountains.

Lin Xin's right arm was broken and the guard broke a leg. Other than that, there were only scratches. Fortunately, the two of them were sliding down the mountain. Lin Xin kept holding on to the guard in the middle and tried his best to slow down. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to save his life.

Lin Wei found a narrow crack near the landing place and dragged the guard in to hide from the wind, otherwise he would freeze to death.

Knowing that someone would definitely come looking for him, Lin Wei took turns with the guard, shouting three times every half-quarter of an hour. This way you can conserve your energy while also sending out a distress signal.

At that time, Lin Xian almost cried when he heard Su Liang calling his name.

When Su Liang finally saw Lin Xi, he was sitting cross-legged in the crevice of the mountain, with his uninjured hand raised in front of him. He said, "Amitabha." Then he said with a smile, "I asked the Buddha to send Su Xiaoliang to save me, and he actually came. I must have been a fairy child under the Buddha's seat in my previous life!"

Gu Ling stepped forward to pull Lin Xi up, and he hugged him, "Gu Xiaoling, brother thought he would never see you again, you are scared, right?"

Su Liang simply treated the wounds of Lin Xi and the guards he rescued, and took them away.

When they turned back, Su Liang and his group almost got lost because of the heavy wind and snow. Fortunately, they met a team sent by Peng Wei and successfully walked out of the snow mountain.

...

In the inn.

Su Liang treated Lin Xi's wounds and applied medicine, and Gu Ling watched from the side.

"I originally wanted to explore the way for you and let you go hiking together, but I didn't expect it to be so thrilling." Lin Qi smiled, "Gu Xiaoling, after last night, do you think Su Xiaoliang is cute?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "No."

"Su Xiaoliang, he is a guy who says one thing and means another. You don't have to be polite. Just do whatever you want to him. If he dares to disobey, come to me." Lin Qi said to Su Liang seriously.

Su Liang snorted, "Looking for you? What can I do?"

Lin Qi snorted, "I'll cry for him to see!"

Su Liang: ... Not necessary.

"Don't make trouble, eat something and sleep well." Su Liang fixed Lin Qi's arm and told him not to move.

"I can't hold the spoon with my left hand, Su Xiaoliang, you feed me." Lin Qi said.

"You and I are just ordinary friends. Don't talk nonsense and let Changxin Hou misunderstand. I only like him." Su Liang turned and left after saying that.

"Gu Xiaoling, did you hear that? Su Xiaoliang is confessing to you! Are you a block of wood? Are you an ice cube on Wolong Snow Mountain? You are not moved by this?" Lin Qi was speechless.

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "When you cry for me, I can consider it."

Lin Qi tried to blink, but found that it was very difficult to squeeze out tears. He really couldn't...

Gu Ling held the bowl and let Lin Qi take the spoon with his left hand and drink a bowl of chicken soup.

...

"Don't worry, his arm is fine and can recover." Su Liang said, and asked Lin Bojun, "Second brother, how did you think of climbing the snow mountain?"

Lin Bojun sighed, "Lin Qi heard the third son of the Yue Palace mention that the scenery of the snow mountain is very beautiful. There were mountain climbing competitions at this time in previous years, so we decided to go and see it. We didn't know that the mountain was so dangerous."

"Those guards have signed a life and death agreement, do you know?" Su Liang asked again.

Lin Bojun was stunned, "Life and death agreement? I've never heard of it."

Su Liang mentioned the real purpose of Duanmu Yi sending her here this time, and the Lin brothers frowned.

"I'll discuss with someone before deciding what to do, you just pretend you don't know." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling walked in, looked at Su Liang, and retracted his gaze, "I'll go back to the Yue Palace first."

"I'll go too!" Su Liang stood up, "My luggage is still there."

Ren Dong drove and sent Gu Ling and Su Liang to the Yue Palace.

"What is this?" Gu Ling spread out his hand, and a teardrop-shaped black jade pendant lay in his palm.

Su Liang took out her piece, "Zheng'er gave it to me."

Gu Ling knew that Su Liang would not give him a gift for no reason, and he was not disappointed when he heard it, and put it in his pocket.

Su Liang whispered the purpose of her visit. Gu Ling had heard of the master craftsman Mu, and told Su Liang not to act rashly, and told him before doing anything, and discussed the plan before taking action.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Prince of Yue's Mansion. Su Liang got off the carriage first and reached out to help Gu Ling, but Gu Ling avoided him and went straight into the door.

Su Liang chased after him and met Situ Xie and Situ Jing, the grandfather and grandson.

"Su, how is General Lin?" Situ Jing looked concerned.

"He won't die." Su Liang looked indifferent.

"Yesterday's incident was due to our poor arrangements. I have already punished Zhang'er and Min'er and was about to visit General Lin." Situ Xie sighed.

"I heard from your second son that the guards who followed him up the mountain signed a life and death agreement. I want to see it." Su Liang said with a cold face.

Situ Xie nodded after hearing this, "Okay. Ling'er will take Su to Ningxiangju to rest first. Jing'er, go get it and give it to Su for review."

"Yes, grandfather." Situ Jing responded.

"I'm not tired, let's go together." Su Liang refused to give in.

Situ Jing persuaded again, "Doctor Su has been on the road and hasn't rested, so why don't you go sit with cousin Ling first."

"I'm really not tired, Master Situ, if you don't believe me, let's do some comparisons?" Su Liang insisted.

...

A quarter of an hour later, the matter was "found out": because climbing in this season is risky, Situ Jing had told them to sign a life and death agreement, and if the guard died, their relatives would receive a large sum of compensation. Situ Zhang asked Situ Min to do this, but Situ Min forgot about it due to negligence. When Situ Zhang asked about it before departure, Situ Min lied that it had been signed, and said that he had mentioned it to Lin Qi and Lin Bojun.

Therefore, Situ Zhang did not lie, and the fault was only with Situ Min.

Su Liang knew that there was no such thing as a life and death agreement, and if she didn't ask, it would eventually be left unresolved. But she refused to give in, so the Situ family had to push Situ Min out to take the responsibility.

Su Liang seemed to be aggressive, but the fact was that if Lin Bojun and Lin Qi knew from the beginning that climbing Wolong Snow Mountain was so dangerous that the guards had to sign a life and death agreement, they would not have gone at all.

In the end, Su Liang watched Situ Min being beaten with a stick fifty times, his skin torn and his flesh torn, and he fainted.

"Since His Royal Highness the King of Yue has acted impartially and has done justice to Lin Qi, this matter ends here. I will go to the Marquis of Changxin to drink tea first. When I go to the palace to treat the Emperor of Liang, the King of Yue will send someone to Ningxiangju to call me." Su Liang left with Rendong.

Situ Jing asked someone to take Situ Min to treat him. He walked to Situ Xie and whispered, "Grandfather, Su Liang is just a doctor of a country. She is so strong as soon as she comes. Is it because of her flamboyant nature that she does not care about the consequences for Lin Qi, or does she have other purposes?"

"Is it unfair for Min'er to be beaten?" Situ Xie looked at Situ Jing with a sharp gaze.

Situ Jing's face became serious, "Third brother is indeed wrong in this matter, and it is not unfair for him to be beaten."

"Don't underestimate Su Liang, she is not just a doctor." Situ Xie left a meaningful sentence and went out of the house to visit the injured Lin Qi in the post house.

…

Ningxiangju.

Su Liang looked at the portrait of Situ Ning on the wall and sighed, "Your mother is so beautiful!"

Gu Ling opened the medicine box that Su Liang had placed on the table yesterday, and saw several medicine bottles that he had never seen before, and took one out.

Su Liang turned around and saw it, and hurried over, "Don't touch it!"

Gu Ling just pulled out the cork of the bottle and covered it again, "What is the poison?"

Su Liang took the medicine bottle back and said two words, "Aphrodisiac."

Gu Ling frowned slightly, "What are you going to do with this?"

Su Liang put the medicine bottle at the bottom of the medicine box, took out another medicine bottle and handed it to Gu Ling, "This is a gift for you, it can dissolve all the aphrodisiacs I know so far."

Gu Ling took it, opened it and smelled it, and heard Su Liang say, "I spent a lot of effort for this. Remember to bring it with you, don't let some witch drug you!"

Gu Ling held the medicine bottle in his hand, his eyes suddenly gentle, "You are a specialist who made it for me?"

Su Liang, who was taking things from the baggage, shook his head, "That's not true. I made it for myself for self-defense. I'll give you one by the way. By the way, Lin Ershan said that Ningxiangju has a gift you prepared for me. It's What?"

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Me."

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

Gu Ling said, "He was talking about me."

Su Liang chuckled, "Oh, I understand. If it weren't for the fact that he fell off the cliff yesterday, when I came, Lin Ershan would have packed you up and given it to me? Then I would have to put the great god in a box and tie a big bow on it. Otherwise it has no soul as a gift.”

Gu Ling:......

"But you two are quite in love together." Su Liang said with a smile.

Gu Ling frowned, "Stop."

Su Liang shook his head, "I mean, as a friend, what are you thinking about, Master?"

"Are you," Gu Ling's voice paused, "are you hungry?"
