The Great God Was Frightened

Lao Mu made a bet with Su Liang that Lao Bai would definitely want to drink. Google Search Reading

But three days passed in a blink of an eye. Under Su Liang's careful care, Lao Bai's mental state obviously improved, and he didn't even mention the word "wine".

Lao Mu almost suspected that the drunkard who had tortured him before was not the same person as Lao Bai now.

Su Liang didn't go out for three days. Every night Gu Ling would "sleepwalk" to find her and only talk about what happened that day for a while. Basically, she talked and he listened.

Lao Bai liked to sit in the pavilion by the lake for half a day, quietly looking at the lake without saying a word.

And Lao Mu had lived a hard life of semi-seclusion for a lifetime. Now he has liberated his nature and is not seen all day. He goes wherever there is a lot of fun, such as teahouses, wine shops and gambling houses.

That evening, Su Liang accompanied Lao Bai to have dinner in the garden. Lanterns were hung on the four corners of the pavilion. The dim light made Su Liang's face more gentle, and Lao Bai was a little absent-minded again.

"Master! Help!" Qi Jun shouted, breaking the silence.

Su Liang looked over and saw Qi Jun running wildly, Lao Mu chasing behind, and Jin Dong following slowly as if watching the fun.

"What's going on?" Su Liang was puzzled.

Both rushed into the pavilion, and Lao Mu grabbed Qi Jun and spoke first, "Disciple, did you ask this kid to play with me and listen to me?"

Su Liang nodded, "I did."

Qi Jun frowned, "Master, Senior Jin wants to go to a brothel, I don't want to go, but he made me go!"

Su Liang:...

Lao Mu coughed lightly, "What brothel? I've never been there in my life, I just want to see the fun! What are you afraid of, kid? Can someone eat you up?"

Qi Jun shook his head, "I won't go! I won't go even if I'm beaten to death!"

"Master wants to go, just go and play by yourself, if you need money, just ask Jin Dong for it. Don't force Qi Jun, he's a good boy." Su Liang looked serious.

Qi Jun nodded in agreement, he was a good boy with a clean record!

Lao Mu was unhappy, "I just want to take a look, am I bad?"

Su Liang shook his head, "That's not what I meant. Master can go if he wants to, Qi Jun doesn't want to go, don't force him."

"Then I'll go by myself, how embarrassing!" Lao Mu grabbed Qi Jun.

Lao Bai couldn't listen anymore, "Lao Jin, it's not a shameful thing, so stop yelling."

Lao Mu was instantly angry, "You actually called me shameless? Did you all hear it? He called me!"

Lao Bai shook his head, "I didn't call you, I just told the truth."

Seeing that the two old men were about to fight over a disagreement, Qi Jun hurriedly hugged Lao Mu, "Senior Jin, calm down."

"Then you come with me to play!" Lao Mu was still thinking about visiting the brothel.

Qi Jun's face froze, "This is really not okay!" If his father knew, he would be beaten. Besides, he didn't want to go to that kind of place.

Lao Bai looked disgusted, "Xiao Bai, you should quickly ask Lao Jin to find his real apprentice, and stop staying at your house. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun and squander your money. It's useless."

"You are so good! Who brought you here? If it weren't for me, you would have drunk to death! You are destroying the bridge after crossing it!" Lao Mu was really angry when he heard Lao Bai asked Su Liang to drive him away.

Qi Jun failed to hold him back, Su Liang stood between the two old men in time, grabbed Lao Mu's hand, and smiled obediently, "Master, I'll go play with you."

Lao Mu's face suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he laughed, "My dear disciple! I don't care about Lao Bai, he is not your master, just a guest of our family!"

The deliberate emphasis on "our guest" made Lao Bai's face darken, "Lao Jin, if you dare, let's fight, whoever loses will leave!"

Lao Mu snorted, "Who wants to fight with you? I want to go out and play with my dear disciple! Hahaha! My dear disciple, let's go!"

Su Liang turned around and coaxed Lao Bai with a smile, "We are just going to have a drink and watch beautiful girls sing and dance."

"You are a girl, what girl are you looking at? Who can be prettier than you? Don't you like his disciple?" Lao Bai frowned.

"It's a pity that he doesn't want to." Su Liang sighed.

Lao Bai snorted, "I'll go talk to him." He looked like he was going to beat Gu Ling into submission...

Su Liang finally calmed them both down, and asked Ren Dong to help Lao Bai and send him back to rest.

Then Su Liang changed into men's clothes, and without changing his appearance, he really accompanied Lao Mu out of the house to visit the brothel.

Duanmu Yi already knew that there were two more old men in Su Liang's family. Ren Dong had reported to him that they were Su Yuanzhou's friends who had helped Su Liang when she was in trouble.

Su Liang and Lao Mu walked on the streets of Beijing at night. Many shops were still open. Lao Mu looked at the night scene with dim lights and couldn't help but sigh, "I was stupid before. Life is short, and we should enjoy it while we can! I wasted most of my life in vain, and in the end I have nothing!"

Su Liang chuckled, "Let's not talk about the past. The present and the future are important."

Lao Mu nodded, "You must be sent by God to save me because God pities my loneliness, haha!"

The master and apprentice took a leisurely walk and walked to the outside of Xunhualou, the largest brothel in Beijing.

Two girls dressed in fancy clothes at the door were soliciting customers. When they saw Su Liang's face, they were stunned at first, and then greeted him with a sweet smile, "Isn't this Lord Su?"

Su Liang was a handsome and elegant young man in every gesture.

Old Man Mu curiously looked inside Xunhua Tower, subconsciously grabbed Su Liang's sleeve with one hand, and followed her closely. Because the building was too tall, he habitually hunched over when he was nervous, just like a little child.

Just when Su Liang smiled and greeted the girls and was about to step in with one foot, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, "Xiao Liang!"

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Lin Bojun rushing over on horseback.

"Who is it?" Lao Mu scratched his head, feeling that his trip to the brothel might be ruined.

"Second brother, what happened?" Seeing Lin Bojun's anxious expression, Su Liang ran over quickly.

Lin Bojun got off his horse and said, "Sister-in-law is about to give birth!"

Su Liang's expression was shocked. By the time Lao Mu reacted, she had already mounted Lin Bojun's horse and drove away with her whip raised.

Lin Bojun also left quickly without noticing Lao Mu at all.

The Madam of Xunhua House knew that Lao Mu was accompanied by Su Liang, so he thought he must be a big shot, so he swayed over to him, leaned against him, and held his arm, "Master, come in quickly!"

Lao Mu was originally depressed because he was let go by Su Liang. When he realized what he was doing, he was so frightened that he was approached by a woman for the first time in his life. He screamed, jumped up, and ran away without a trace...

…

That night, Gu Ling "sleepwalked" again to find Su Liang, and saw that Yuanming Pavilion was empty. He didn't know where Su Liang went, so he wandered around the house first to make sure she was not at home. Thinking that Su Liang mentioned last night that Lin Boyan's wife was going to give birth soon, he guessed that Xu was at the Lin family, so he went there secretly.

Until dawn, the Lin family heard the loud cry of the baby, indicating that the mother and child were safe.

Gu Ling, who had been listening to Su Liang deliver the baby at the back wall all night, then left silently.

Lin Boyan's son looks a lot like him, and Lin Shuzhi has already chosen a name, Lin Jingyun.

When Su Liang returned home, it was almost noon. When Qi Jun said that Lao Mu was in a bad mood, he remembered that they had all arrived at the brothel door last night and she had left Lao Mu alone.

When Su Liang found Lao Mu, he was sitting by the lake fishing.

From the back, he looked pretty, but when Su Liang got closer, he found that the fishhook had not been thrown into the water, but was still hanging on a dry aquatic plant...

Lao Bai was sitting in the pavilion in a daze again. Su Liang waved to him from afar, then sat down next to Lao Mu, "Master, I'm sorry, something happened suddenly last night. I went to deliver the baby to a friend."

"Oh, it's okay." Lao Mu's voice was muffled.

Su Liang felt something was wrong, "Master is not angry with me?"

"Why should I be angry when you go to do business? Am I so stingy in your eyes?" Lao Mu asked back.

Su Liang shook his head quickly, "Of course not. Then why is Master unhappy? Were you bullied at Xunhua Tower last night?"

When Lao Mu heard this, he immediately denied it, "Nonsense! It's nothing! I didn't even go in!"

"Master, don't get excited. Tell me, what's going on?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Mu sighed, "My dear disciple, am I sick? I thought that I had never touched a woman in my life, so I went over to watch the excitement, have a glass of wine, and listen to a little song. But the old madam in the building leaned against me. On my body, I will..."

"What's wrong?" Su Liang looked confused.

Lao Mu looked embarrassed, "I was scared and ran away..."

Su Liang: ...I want to laugh, but I can't, I have to hold it in... No, I really want to laugh, I can't hold it in anymore...

Lao Mu saw Su Liang couldn't help laughing, dropped the fishing rod, got up and left angrily.

Su Liang hurriedly chased after him, "Master, don't be angry, I'm not laughing at you."

"You're just laughing at me!" Lao Mu said, glaring at Su Liang.

Su Liang swore that it wasn't true, she just thought Lao Mu was cute.

Then, Lao Mu expressed his "worry". It's really not because of Su Liang, but because after he came back last night, he couldn't think of anything and ran to Lao Bai for comfort. After dawn, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it...

"My good disciple, can I kill Lao Bai and silence him? Otherwise, the old bastard will definitely laugh at me for the rest of his life." Lao Mu was a little crazy.

Su Liang patted Lao Mu on the shoulder, "Master, relax, it's not a shameful thing. It shows that master is... pure."

Lao Mu cried sadly, "I'm old now, and when your little girl praises me for my purity, it always sounds like she's scolding me... I won't say any more, I'll go find a drink!"

There are two old men with very different personalities in the Su Mansion, making it much more lively than before.

Su Liang, who had sworn to Lao Mu during the day that he would never tell anyone about his embarrassing story, saw Gu Ling again at night and couldn't help but share it with him.

"Master, if you went to Xunhua Tower and were suddenly approached by a girl, would you have the same reaction as Lao Mu?" Su Liang asked with a smile.

Gu Ling shook his head, "I'm not afraid of women."

"Are you sure? I don't believe it." Su Liang shook his head.

"Aren't you a woman?" Gu Ling asked.

"I am, but not to you, so the contact between us doesn't count." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling thought for a while and said, "People's thoughts will change."

Su Liang nodded, "Yes, Lao Mu didn't want to marry a wife when he was young. Now I think he really wants to have a family. Unfortunately, he is too old, so he can only live with us."

Gu Ling: ...He is talking about himself, not Lao Mu!

"Lao Bai seems to be a love interest at first glance. He must have a story, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to say anything." Su Liang sighed, "He is recovering well. I will start learning poison techniques from him in a few days. As for Lao Mu's teaching Let’s talk about your business after he’s had enough fun, it’s not very convenient for you.”

When Gu Ling was about to leave, Su Liang said seriously, "Master, look at Lao Mu, I think you should also change your mind. Don't wait until you are old when you want to marry a wife."

Gu Ling's heart moved, and she nodded calmly, "Thank you for your advice, I will think about it."

"I wonder which fairy girl can catch your eye, great god?" Su Liang joked.

Gu Ling glanced at Su Liang and floated away silently.

...

Yaocheng of Liang Kingdom.

Situ Xie and Situ Han have not been in a good mood recently.

They thought that Su Liang and Gu Ling would return secretly to steal the secret record after leaving, but the result was that they kept receiving news and paying attention to where Su Liang was. Until she left Liang Kingdom and returned to Gan Kingdom, there were no thieves or assassins in the palace, which was calmer than before.

Now Su Liang and Gu Ling have returned to the capital of Gan Kingdom safely. Situ Xie and Situ Han each held half of the same secret record. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, very wrong!

The drawings on the secret record were incomplete, and this was the news released by the Liang Kingdom royal family. People who have not seen the secret record should suspect that they lied that it could not be used.

But no matter how the Liang Kingdom royal family thought, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

After the first month of the lunar year, Liang State sent a wedding team to Gan State to marry the Princess of Gan State for the Crown Prince Situ Chao. The team was led by Situ Jing, the eldest grandson of Situ Xie.

When the Princess of Gan State got married, the people from Gan State who sent the bride to Liang State would marry Situ Yao for Duanmu Chen. This was decided last year.

…

Su Liang entered the palace again to return the books he had borrowed from the library. When he saw Duanmu Yi, he found that the Crown Prince Duanmu Chen, Duke Qin Kang, and Prime Minister Xiao were all there. The strangest thing was that there were also Old Lady Xing and Xing Yusheng.

Su Liang didn't know what happened, but looking at this scene, it must be related to the Zhongxin Marquis's Mansion, otherwise the grandparents and grandchildren of the Xing family would not appear here.

"I heard that you have recognized the Zhongxin Marquis as your adoptive father? It's a good thing that you are here. You should also listen to what happened today." Duanmu Yi pointed to the seat next to Old Lady Xing and asked Su Liang to sit down.

After Su Liang sat down, he quickly learned the whole story.

Last year, the candidate for the marriage was the sixth princess Duanmu Qianqian, but she was killed by Duanmu Che. There are no other adult princesses in the royal family, not even a county lady.

Su Liang had thought about this before going to Liang State, and thought that Duanmu Yi should choose a lady from a noble family as his adopted daughter to marry to Liang State.

But Su Liang did not expect that the person chosen by Duanmu Yi was Xing Ji and Miao's daughter Xing Yuyan.

Today, the grandparents and grandchildren of the Xing family entered the palace and were told of this "grace".

Old Lady Xing accepted the order and thanked the grace without showing any reluctance. Xing Yusheng just accompanied Old Lady Xing throughout the whole process and said nothing.

Su Liang could only listen. She knew that Xing Ji would definitely not want his daughter to marry, and Old Lady Xing would not want her granddaughter to marry far away. It's not that she didn't want to help. First, she couldn't help with this matter. Second, if she really tried to push Xing Yuyan's marriage away, another lady would have to marry far away.

Even if Xing Ji was present, he couldn't refuse. Duanmu Yi was willing to let his daughter marry to Liang State, so why would Xing Ji, as a minister, be unwilling? If Duanmu Qianqian hadn't died, this matter wouldn't have been anyone else's turn.

When leaving the palace, Su Liang supported Old Lady Xing, and Xing Yusheng followed behind.

After leaving the palace, Old Lady Xing patted Su Liang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This is her fate, her fate of being born in the Xing family."

Old Lady Xing was born into a noble family in Beijing, but now there are not many people in her natal family. She married the old Beijing Prince, and later her son inherited the throne. Last year, the Beijing Prince's Mansion was almost eliminated in the storm of reducing the vassal state, and it was not easy to have the peaceful life now. She is a person who has experienced great ups and downs, and does not need anyone's comfort, and has never thought of turning down the matter of her granddaughter's marriage. The reason is very simple, the overall situation is more important, and the family is more important.

When they separated, Old Lady Xing said to Su Liang earnestly, "Liang girl, no matter how capable you are, you will get married sooner or later. While the emperor values ​​you so much and you can still speak for yourself, if you really like Marquis Changxin, let him marry you as soon as possible, so as to avoid more trouble. Who knows what will happen in the future."

...

After Su Liang returned home, he saw Lao Mu and Lao Bai sitting in Yuanming Pavilion.

"Xiaobai, I will teach you poison from tomorrow." Lao Bai said.

Lao Mu snorted, "My dear disciple, I will teach you from tomorrow."

Su Liang chuckled, "That's great. But what do you need to prepare?"

Lao Bai gave Su Liang a piece of paper, "Send someone to find something in this place."

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "Is there the treasure you collected there?"

Lao Bai nodded, "Yes. If it wasn't found and robbed by that crazy woman."

Su Liang: ...So it is possible to find the place, but everything is gone? All right...

Lao Mu complained about Lao Bai, "You don't even think highly of your own things!" He took out a book from his arms and threw it to Su Liang casually, "Take it!"

Su Liang took it and looked at it. Isn't it the secret record of the mechanism that the royal family of the Three Kingdoms dreamed of? Complete!

Su Liang smiled happily, "Thank you, Master. I will give it to my senior brother."

Lao Bai frowned when Su Liang mentioned Gu Ling, "What's wrong with that kid? Is he not good enough or does he want to become a monk? Let him give you a definite answer, otherwise he will obey you earlier!"

Su Liang chuckled, "Well, I'll ask him."

...

That night, Gu Ling appeared at Yuanming Pavilion on time. Su Liang handed him the secret record of the mechanism, "Master gave it to you, you won't be bored next time."

Gu Ling took it and opened it to read.

Su Liang looked at Gu Ling and remembered what Old Lady Xing said during the day. She didn't take Lao Bai's poisonous tongue to heart.

More than a year has passed, and now, most of the women Su Liang knows are married. Su Liang does not agree with the idea that women must marry. This was possible in her previous life. Here, it is not impossible, but it is difficult. Especially when she is very close to the vortex of power struggle, it is not easy to escape, and it is even more impossible to stay out of it.

Moreover, Su Liang knew that Duanmu Yi had obtained a huge stone related to her. Although he has not done anything extraordinary now, there is no guarantee that he will not do it in the future.

Previously, Lin Xueqing was almost offered marriage to Duanmu Chen. If Qin Yujin had not made an engagement with Lin Bojun first, she would have been the candidate for the crown princess that Duanmu Chen was eyeing.

Today, Xing Ji's daughter was suddenly arranged to be a marriage princess and was about to marry to Liang Kingdom as the crown princess. Su Liang once again realized that when dealing with the royal family, she had to be careful and not be overconfident.

What if it was herself who was arranged to be kissed today... Su Liang was thinking. Of course she could say that she liked Gu Ling and was unwilling to marry anyone else, but Duanmu Yi would definitely say that Gu Ling did not accept her. As a minister of the Qian Kingdom, she had to put the overall situation first, and to refuse was to resist the decree.

Although Su Liang thought that she would not get married because she was a talent in Duanmu Yi's eyes. But that doesn't mean it won't be arranged.

After thinking about it, Su Liang felt that her marriage would become a hidden danger sooner or later and should not be taken lightly.

So, Su Liang looked at Gu Ling and said, "Master, how about we get married!"

The secret record of the organization fell to the ground in Gu Ling's hand. He lowered his head to pick it up, closed it, and put it on the table. Then he looked up at Su Liang with a calm expression, "What did you just say?"
