Guardian From the Master (Second Update)

Su Liang woke up early in the morning and heard the sound of rain outside. It was already light.

In just a few days, her biological clock was disrupted.

She leaned on the pillow and sat quietly on the bed. Thinking of the little man in her dream last night, the corners of her lips curled up. If she gave birth to a little god who looked like a great god, how cute it would be!

However, her period was delayed for only one day, and Su Liang was still not sure that she was really pregnant, but the dream last night made her feel that it was a good omen.

When Su Liang got up and opened the door, she heard Qiu Cong's voice not far away, "Go back to the room, it's cold outside."

Su Liang thought that this was a southern island, and it was summer, what was cold? He must be thinking about the possible disciple in her belly. You know, Qiu Cong originally planned to strictly supervise Su Liang's martial arts training.

"Master, it may not really be..." Su Liang felt that Qiu Cong was too expectant, which was not good. What if it was a false joy?

Qiu Cong's tone was very firm, "It must be."

Su Liang: ...Who is the doctor? But then again, if her period doesn't come in a few days, she can try to feel her pulse.

After a while, the rain stopped, and Qiu Cong went out to buy things again as planned. Before leaving, he told Qiuyue to watch Su Liang and told her not to run around.

Qiuyue finally realized that something was wrong. What was it?

After struggling for a whole day, Qiuyue didn't ask Su Liang. In the evening, she saw Qiu Cong coming in with a red rattle in his hand. She felt weird at first, but then a light bulb went off in her head, and she finally figured it out: Miss Su must be pregnant!

So, when Su Liang heard the noise and came out of the room, she saw Qiuyue running to her, staring at her belly with a look of surprise and said, "Congratulations, Miss Su!"

Su Liang chuckled, "Not sure yet."

"Miss Su is in such good health and has been married for two months, she must be pregnant!" Qiuyue was inexplicably happy, and sighed, "The baby of Miss Su and Lady Gu will be so beautiful!"

Su Liang:...How are you sure? She is not sure!

Qiuyue ran back to see the fire after she finished speaking. Qiu Cong came over with a rattle and handed it to Su Liang.

Su Liang took it and turned it a few times because it was new. As a result, Qiu Cong said, "It's not for you to play with."

Su Liang:...Yes, her apprenticeship is conditional and limited, and the grand-apprentice is the real treasure.

When Qiuyue fed Nangong Qian dinner, she happily told her that Su Liang was pregnant.

Nangong Qian was a little surprised, "Master... is married?"

Qiuyue nodded, "Yes, Miss Su got married in February this year."

Nangong Qian was puzzled, "What about her husband?"

Qiuyue thought it was not good, so she said that Su Liang's husband was working somewhere else, and she didn't even dare to mention Gu Ling's name.

Nangong Qian was not in good spirits, so she didn't ask any more questions.

...

In addition to the rattle for his disciple, Qiu Cong also bought new bedding for Su Liang, which was made of satin and much softer than the original coarse cloth. Although Su Liang felt that the coarse cloth was not uncomfortable, he still accepted it.

There was even a thick cotton cushion specially for Su Liang to sit on.

"What if I'm not really pregnant, Master won't beat me, right?" Su Liang decided to say the ugly words up front. She was also looking forward to it, but she was not sure after all.

Qiu Cong nodded, "Yes."

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Do you mean practice well?"

Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes, "What else could it be?"

Su Liang: ...It's not like this old man hasn't bullied her before...

"Actually, Master doesn't need to be so nervous. Even if you're really pregnant, you're not that delicate. You won't be tired if you do some proper exercise and housework." Su Liang explained to Qiu Cong as a professional doctor.

As a result, Qiu Cong said, "You haven't given birth before."

Su Liang's expression became serious, "I haven't given birth before, but I have delivered babies before."

Qiu Cong frowned, "Really?"

"It sounds a bit outrageous for a teenage girl who has never given birth to deliver babies, but it's true because I'm a doctor." Su Liang smiled.

"Delivering babies has nothing to do with your own pregnancy." Qiu Cong denied Su Liang's experience.

Su Liang actually felt that Qiu Cong's nervousness about her was a bit exaggerated, considering his personality and their original relationship. It's not that she just likes children. He has grandchildren. His reaction to Su Liang's pregnancy is beyond her expectation.

Before going to bed that night, Su Liang looked at the bamboo shoots that had become shriveled, gently stroked her flat belly, and looked inexplicable, "Little God, do you think there are other reasons for Master's nervousness and overprotection of me..."

After thinking about it, Su Liang only thought of one possibility: Situ Xiang.

Although he didn't know why Qiu Cong lost his daughter, the known fact is that he didn't watch Situ Xiang grow up, and after Situ Xiang was raped by Situ Han, she was left to get pregnant and give birth to a child. The process was probably extremely difficult.

These guilt that could not make up for Situ Xiang were transferred to Nangong Qian by Qiu Cong, and turned into unconditional satisfaction and love for her. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as snatching Su Liang's husband for Nangong Qian. As far as Su Liang saw Qiu Cong's nature, he would never do such a thing.

Therefore, Su Liang suspected that Qiu Cong, knowing that she might be pregnant, thought of his poor daughter and transferred his feelings to her.

Of course, this was just Su Liang's own feeling. Even if it was true, it could not deny that Qiu Cong's kindness to her was real.

…

There are four people living in the courtyard on the island. The only one who is not sure whether Su Liang is really pregnant is Su Liang herself. The other three are very sure that she is definitely pregnant.

Su Liang is in a good mood and is not nervous. She is just looking forward to it. If the little god does not come for the time being, she will continue to think about the big god.

As for the things outside, she can't control it, so she doesn't think too much.

But Su Liang doesn't know that the storm caused by her arrest is brewing rapidly and is about to come...

...

Yaocheng, Liangguo.

Situ Han has long forgotten that Su Liang reminded him to avoid too much emotional fluctuations when he treated his facial paralysis.

At first, when he got the news that Yanguo had declared war on Ganguo and won a great victory and captured Jiaye City in one fell swoop, Situ Han was overjoyed.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Liangguo royal family! They have always wanted to cooperate with Yanguo. If Yanguo had not always broken its promises, Ganguo would never have the possibility of growing and developing!

In view of the lessons of Yan State, Situ Han was not so short-sighted. After calming down, he felt that Liang State could not choose to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire. It must take the opportunity to join forces with Yan State. Even if they did not conspire, they had to send troops to the northern part of Gan State to form a pincer attack.

But when Situ Han summoned all the ministers to discuss when to send troops, Situ Xie was not happy. He knew best what Yan State's victory was because he was the mastermind behind it. The chess pieces laid many years ago were finally used, but it was not the right time!

Situ Xie had a careful plan. Yan State should have sent troops half a month later, which would have allowed his eldest grandson Situ Jing to bring Xing Ji's daughter back to Liang State. At that time, the situation would be greatly beneficial to Liang State!

Situ Xie specially arranged for Situ Jing to go to Gan State to pick up the bride, with the purpose of reducing the vigilance of the Gan State royal family and showing Liang State's "sincerity in forming an alliance." In this way, when Yan State suddenly sent troops, it could completely catch Gan State off guard, and Liang State would send troops afterwards, not giving Gan State a chance to breathe!

Situ Xie knew that Situ Han was afraid of him, so he did not share the plan with Situ Han in advance, intending to make it clear after the matter was accomplished.

After all, it involved the son of Situ Han and Situ Xiang, and Situ Han did not even know the existence of that son. Situ Xie deliberately concealed it for so many years, and if he said it rashly, Situ Han would be furious.

But when everything was a foregone conclusion, Liang State won a great victory in the war, and Situ Jing successfully lurked in the army of Gan State and held a high position to cooperate with the outside world, in the face of huge benefits, Situ Han would not care about hiding anything.

Unfortunately, the ideal is very full, but the reality makes Situ Xie so angry that he almost vomits blood.

He simply couldn't understand why his perfect plan was brought forward, causing everything to be misplaced.

Situ Xie originally hoped that if Situ Jing was fast, he would have a chance to leave Gan State.

But then they received news that the Liang Kingdom's wedding procession disappeared after entering Xuanbei City. Xing Ji also sent someone to Nanping City to inform the Liang Kingdom's commander that his daughter and Situ Jing were both sick.

Situ Xie knew that things were out of control.

When Situ Han was full of confidence and ready to order troops to be dispatched, Situ Xie had to remind him that Situ Jing was still in Gan Kingdom.

Situ Han asked Situ Xie in public, "Does the emperor's uncle really want Liang Kingdom to miss a great opportunity that is vital to the country's destiny because of one person?"

Before Situ Xie could answer, new news came that the Gan Kingdom royal family sent Su Liang and Gu Ling and his wife to the south to take charge. They only took two days to turn the tide and quell the war and drive the Yan Kingdom army out of Jiaye City.

The person who brought the news had to bite the bullet and tell the Liang Kingdom’s royal family and officials how Su Liang had completed a wonderful revenge on Yan Kingdom’s main general Fan Tong and his son Fan Gang in front of Yan Kingdom’s army on the southern tower of Jiaye City...

After listening, the Liang Kingdom’s royal family and officials were extremely disappointed, because they found that their self-proclaimed plan to "coincide" with Yan Kingdom and jointly destroy Gan Kingdom was shattered...

Situ Han even scolded Yan Kingdom for not only being a villain, but also a waste, as if "If Yan Kingdom hadn't held back, Liang Kingdom would have destroyed Gan Kingdom long ago."

In this case, Situ Xie even gave up the idea of ​​telling Situ Han his "strategy", which would only make the already stalemate between their father and son worse.

But Situ Xie was fortunate that Situ Jing was not exposed and there would be opportunities in the future. At the same time, he was worried about how Situ Jing could get out of it.

Thinking that Liangguo had not done anything openly, as long as the spies he arranged were not exposed, Ganguo would only regard it as a quick fight with Yanguo. Therefore, for long-term planning, it would not continue to detain Situ Jing at this time and destroy the cooperation with Liangguo.

In this way, Situ Xie became more low-key, just waiting for his grandson to return safely before planning the next thing.

For the sake of safety, Situ Xie secretly arranged for experts to go south to meet Situ Jing to avoid any accidents in the middle.

It would be very dangerous to directly snatch Situ Jing back. And Situ Han said that since the situation had changed suddenly, they would continue to marry Ganguo and make long-term plans. Because the villain behavior of the Yanguo royal family had already made Liangguo unbearable, and this time they saw that they were so useless, it was not wise to rashly tear their faces with Ganguo.

But as time went on, when the Liang royal family, including Situ Xie, thought that the marriage could continue, and nothing happened, the Gan Kingdom was reluctant to release the people.

At that time, Su Liang and Gu Ling went to Yan Kingdom. Duanmu Yi didn't know that Yan Kingdom's sending troops was related to Liang Kingdom. He just had some doubts, but when he saw that the situation had calmed down, he decided to continue the marriage, at least he couldn't tear his face with both Yan and Liang at the same time.

But the problem was that the princess who was married was Xing Ji's daughter.

Xing Ji believed that Yan State, which had been trying to instigate a fight between Gan State and Liang State for decades so as to reap the benefits, was acting abnormally this time, and it was impossible that the Liang State royal family had not participated. In this case, he was determined not to marry his daughter to Liang State, but he did not dare to disobey the imperial order, so he played a trick of delaying, wanting to wait and see whether Su Liang and Gu Ling could find evidence of Liang State and Yan State's conspiracy.

In the meantime, Liang State sent people to Xuanbei City several times to discuss with Xing Ji about letting the marriage team continue on the road.

Xing Ji's attitude was extremely good, smiling and welcoming, and entertaining with good wine and food, but when asked about the marriage, he just said one sentence, his daughter was sick.

Forcing Xing Ji to let his sick daughter continue on the road to the marriage was inhumane no matter how you looked at it. Moreover, Xing Ji also said very nicely that the princess who was married to Liang State was married to be the crown princess, and it was unlucky to go with illness. It would be fine to postpone the wedding date and choose another auspicious day.

Liangguo proposed to let their people go back first, and Xing Ji said that Situ Jing was ill due to acclimatization and it was an infectious disease. For his safety and the safety of everyone, he could not see anyone and was being treated in a safe place. He was guaranteed to be cured.

In short, the marriage can continue, but it has to wait; Situ Jing can of course go home, but not now. And it's all for the good of Liangguo.

Situ Xie received the news and was so angry that he even smashed several of his favorite vases.

But Situ Han was not so anxious and told Situ Xie to be patient and wait. As long as Ganguo knew that Liangguo did not conspire with Yanguo, everything would return to normal.

In this way, no matter how confident Situ Xie was, he had to start worrying. Was Situ Jing exposed, or was the spy he planted next to Fan Tong exposed? But it was too far away. Shiyun and Chen Xiao were quickly arrested after being exposed. Situ Jing was delayed in the south for a while and did not send a special message to Situ Xie. He had no way of understanding the real situation.

…

Time passed quickly. When Situ Xie was anxious about whether to send someone to rescue Situ Jing directly, he saw Chen Xiao, who was exhausted. Chen Xiao was sent to Situ Xie before Su Liang was captured.

At this point, Situ Xie finally knew how his perfect plan collapsed, and his face turned blue with anger.

Just as Situ Xie was about to order an all-out rescue of Situ Jing, he was suddenly summoned by Situ Han and ordered to enter the palace immediately.

When Situ Xie left the house, he ran into Mu Yu, who didn't look good to him. Because Mu Yu was not very capable, the half of the secret record he provided was useless, and he failed to attract his master.

At this time, Situ Xie didn't know that he would soon meet the person he had been trying so hard to attract...

…

Liangguo Palace.

When Situ Xie met Situ Han, there was also a tall and thin old man present. Situ Xie took a look and felt as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Uncle, this is the head of the Mu family, who has come to seek refuge." Situ Han got straight to the point, looking at Situ Xie with a cold look.

Situ Xie's heart sank! Mu Yu's master finally showed up! No wonder he felt familiar, Mu Yu had described this man's appearance in detail, and he also arranged for a painter to draw a portrait!

But Situ Xie didn't expect that when old man Mu came, he went directly to Situ Han instead of going to the Prince of Yue's Mansion.

Situ Xie had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and asked, "Are you really a descendant of the Mu family?"

Old man Mu put down the top-grade Tianshan Snow in his hand, glanced at Situ Xie, and snorted, "My only evil disciple is in your house. If you don't believe in my identity, just ask him to come and recognize me."

Situ Xie frowned, and Situ Han threw the paperweight at him fiercely, "Uncle! Give me an explanation! What's going on with Zhao Yu? How many things are you hiding from me? Do you think I'm a fool?"

As the paperweight fell to the ground, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and a team of imperial guards surrounded the imperial study.

Old Man Mu smiled slowly, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Liang has a son who is living abroad, why didn't you bring him back earlier? Don't let him be used by someone with ulterior motives to do something bad to Liang. What do you think, Prince Yue?"

"What are you talking about?" Situ Xie's face turned cold, "Your Majesty, don't believe this person's one-sided words! His identity is questionable, and he came here suddenly, there must be a conspiracy!"

Old Man Mu's smile deepened, "I can't stand it when someone seduces the apprentice who I raised since childhood, and finally finds out his whereabouts and comes to Liang I am just asking for justice in front of the Emperor. Why is His Royal Highness the King of Yue so anxious? I heard about the prince's exile from someone else. I told the Emperor Liang with good intentions. What if it is true? Emperor Liang, how about this? I can hand over the complete secret record. There is only one very simple condition. I want His Royal Highness the King of Yue to kneel down and kowtow to apologize to me. I believe His Royal Highness the King of Yue will not refuse for the sake of the country's affairs. "
