Pretend to Be Someone

Su Liang felt that it was a good thing to have another master! Having more skills is good, and having more masters makes the road easier.

She thought of her two masters at home, Lao Bai and Lao Mu, who didn't know what they were doing at the moment. Would they run to Liangguo to save her after learning that she was captured?

Thinking of this, Su Liang was a little worried. She hoped that Nian Jincheng could inform the capital of the letter she asked Qiu Cong to send to Jiaye City in time. In this way, if the Liangguo royal family wanted to do something under the pretext of capturing her, their own people would not be controlled.

Because Su Liang felt that Nangong Lin and Situ Jing would not be able to say anything without capturing her.

After thinking about it, Su Liang believed that Nian Jincheng and Lin Qi should know what to do after seeing her letter, but she was afraid that the time difference caused by the distance would lead to bad consequences.

"Miss Su?" Qiuyue knocked on the door outside, disrupting Su Liang's thoughts.

Su Liang came back to his senses, "Come in."

Qiuyue closed the door, as if afraid of being heard, and looked at Su Liang with some embarrassment, "Old Madam Cen said that she only eats vegetarian food and doesn't eat any meat. But the master said that Miss Su and the young lady must eat meat. I am afraid that the food I cook will not suit Old Madam Cen's appetite. Miss Su, can you teach me how to make delicious vegetarian food?"

Su Liang nodded, "Vegetarian food is not difficult, I will do it."

"But the master said not to..." Qiuyue felt that this was not good.

"That's my master, I should cook some food to honor her, don't stop me." Su Liang chuckled.

Su Liang's new master is called Cen Man, and she lives in Qiu Cong's room. Qiuyue has washed and dried the bedding in advance, and Su Liang has also specially changed the position of the table and chairs in the room to prevent Cen Man from being bumped.

At lunch time, except that Qiu Cong's position was replaced by Cen Man, everything else was the same as before.

Cen Man tasted a bite of the dish and nodded slightly, "That girl is a good cook."

Su Liang smiled, "I made the master's dish."

Cen Man tasted another bite, "Very good."

Then the two of them ate a meal in silence. Su Liang's dishes were a combination of meat and vegetables, while Cen Man's were purely vegetarian.

Almost at the same time, Cen Man put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, her movements elegant, "Su Liang, tell me about your story."

"What...my story?" Su Liang asked.

"Everything, except your name and the fact that you are Lao Qiu's apprentice, I know nothing about you." Cen Man said.

Su Liang thought, he offered to take her in as his apprentice without knowing anything? First, it can be seen that Cen Man really lives in seclusion and doesn't care about what the outside world has become. Su Liang is a celebrity. Second, it can be shown that Cen Man really has a good relationship with Qiu Cong and trusts Qiu Cong's vision of taking in apprentices.

Su Liang then told Cen Man the experience she had told Qiu Cong before. When she talked about the day she married Gu Ling, she suddenly received the news of the invasion of Yan State. After the wedding ceremony, she hurried south and stopped.

"You are only sixteen years old. The wedding is on February 15th." Cen Man frowned slightly, "You haven't told me yet, how did you and Lao Qiu know each other, and how did you become master and apprentice?"

Su Liang told the truth about how she met Qiu Cong and why she was on this island.

After listening, Cen Man's face darkened slightly, "You didn't make up a story to lie to me, and wanted to leave this place while Lao Qiu was away?"

"Oh, of course I want to leave, but I won't leave for the time being. Because the master went to find my husband, I'm waiting for him here." Su Liang was very calm about Cen Man's doubts. After all, Cen Man was first Qiu Cong's good friend, and then she was the new master she just worshipped today.

"Lao Qiu is really confused, he actually did that kind of thing." Cen Man spoke again, indicating that she believed Su Liang. Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain why Su Liang, a young genius doctor, would be accepted as an apprentice by Qiu Cong and treat Nangong Qian here.

"However," Cen Man continued, "it seems that there is no real hatred between you and Lao Qiu. The conflict lies between you and his son-in-law and grandson. I have known Lao Qiu for decades and know what kind of person he is. He can leave his granddaughter and go far away to find someone for you. He must want to make up for his previous mistakes."

Su Liang nodded, "I understand. The master is not a bad person, but he was blinded by family affection before."

"I didn't expect that you would be such a master and apprentice." Cen Man sighed slightly.

Su Liang half-jokingly said, "Master, do you regret accepting me as your apprentice?"

Cen Man shook her head, "No. As the enemy of Lao Qiu's son-in-law and grandson, you were captured here and deprived of your freedom, but you were admired and loved by him so much, which is even more amazing. You agreed with him that you would no longer be master and apprentice after leaving this place. You and I are different, there is no deadline."

Su Liang smiled, "Then I really made a profit."

Then Cen Man began to teach Su Liang how to improve his perception, which is extremely helpful for the accuracy of both hidden weapons and normal weapons.

Cen Man took off an exquisite and simple purple jade ring on her hand and gave it to Su Liang.

Su Liang refused to accept it at first, thinking that it must be Cen Man's self-defense item.

But Cen Man said it was a gift for her, and not accepting it meant that she did not recognize her as a master.

Su Liang wore it on her thumb just right. There was a hidden weapon mechanism on the inside of the ring that could fire five silver needles.

This reminded her of Lao Mu again. Lao Mu is proficient in hidden weapons and his real successor is Gu Ling. Unfortunately, so many things happened before he could teach her anything. Lao Bai is the master that Su Liang really wants to worship. Although they don’t have the title of master and apprentice, they are master and apprentice in reality. Unfortunately, she hasn’t had time to learn the real powerful poison technique...

Liangguo, Yaocheng.

Situ Xie left the mansion and entered the palace in a carriage at dawn.

Lao Mu hid in the dark and stared, not sure who the person in the carriage was, and there was no sign that the Yue Palace was going to hold a funeral or hire an imperial doctor. He murmured in his heart: Could it be that the poison that took Lao Bai several days to make was actually discovered? Already? Or was it that Situ Xie just didn't want to drink soup last night and escaped disaster?

He planned to wait until the carriage returned to the house to see if he could confirm that it was Situ Xie inside. It would be a bit risky to break into the palace now.

But Situ Han waited until midnight yesterday, expecting to see his son, whom he had never met before. Unexpectedly, he only saw the secret guard sent by Situ Xie to report the news, saying that the agreed meeting was cancelled, but did not explain the reason.

Situ Han originally thought that Situ Jing had gone back on his word and did not want to see him. Although he was disappointed, he did not do anything.

Until he saw Situ Xie again and heard him say that Situ Jing was poisoned and almost died in Prince Yue's Mansion, Situ Han was once again aroused with burning anger in his heart, "How did you promise me before? You said you would protect him well." ! It is safest to not let him regain his identity for the time being! Is this what you mean by safety? Why is my son poisoned when everyone else in the Yue Palace is fine? "

Situ Xie expected that Situ Han would have such a big reaction and sighed deeply, "Now that things have happened, we can only find a famous doctor to treat Jing'er."

"Famous doctor?" Situ Han said coldly, "The most powerful miracle doctor in the world today, isn't he Su Liang? Didn't Jing'er say he captured Su Liang and locked him up somewhere else, so what are you waiting for? Ask him to tell where Su Liang is. Send someone to bring her over! This will make other things easier!"

Situ Xie nodded, "I'll talk to Jing'er about Su Liang when I get back. Yao'er was arrested, and I suspect it was Gu Ling who did it. Jing'er's poisoning this time has nothing to do with him."

…

When Situ Xie returned home, he still didn't show up in the carriage the whole time. Lao Mu, who was squatting there, couldn't be sure who was in the carriage, so he went back first.

When Situ Xie returned to the study, Situ Jing sat there with his eyes closed, motionless, as if he was asleep.

Situ Xie sighed before saying anything, "Jing'er. Now that things have come to a point, Su Liang must come here. Maybe your eyes can be saved."

"Grandpa, in order to really catch Su Liang, would you blind me?" Situ Jing opened his eyes, and everything he saw was a halo of blur, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Situ Xie frowned, "Jing'er, do you really think so?"

Situ Jing said nothing. He was almost blind, and he no longer had the calmness and confidence he had when he came to Yaocheng, and he was constantly irritable.

"I will find a woman of similar age and stature to Su Liang to pretend to be her and confuse the people in the dark, but at most I can save Yao'er." Situ Xie sighed deeply, "You are so young and you still have a long life. , I know how you feel about Su Liang, but you can’t be confused now! If it’s too late, there may be no hope at all!”

Situ Jing clenched and unclenched his fists, "Grandpa, go and invite Nangong Lin over."

Situ Xie was not surprised that Nangong Lin was also in Yaocheng, although Situ Jing had deliberately not mentioned it before.

"Does he know where Su Liang is? Where is he?" Situ Xie asked.

Situ Jing told him a place and gave him his jade pendant as a token.

Situ Xie immediately sent secret guards to look for Nangong Lin.

After waiting for about two hours, Nangong Lin finally appeared.

When he saw Situ Xie, he narrowed his eyes slightly, but when he noticed the red spots around Situ Jing's eyes, his expression darkened, "What's going on?"

Situ Xie sighed and talked about what happened last night.

Nangong Lin was furious, "I sent Jing'er back, and this is how you treated him?"

No matter what, what happened to Situ Jing happened in Prince Yue's Mansion, and Situ Xie served him the poisonous soup himself, so he couldn't escape his involvement.

"What's the use of talking about this now?" Situ Xie shook his head, "The most urgent task is to bring Su Liang as soon as possible to treat Jing'er."

Nangong Lin looked at Situ Jing again, breathing heavier, "Damn it! Can't you find the person who poisoned you and find the antidote? Wouldn't that be faster?"

It would take more than a month to go from Yaocheng through the Liang and Qian Kingdoms to the south to go to the sea to find Su Liang!

Situ Xie shook his head, "It is very dangerous to rashly find a poison master. And now that the damage has been done and the poison has been cured, Jing'er's eyes are not still poisoned, but were injured by the poison. They need to be treated instead of detoxified!"

Nangong Lin snorted coldly, "Why do you know so much? Where did the antidote come from?"

Situ Xie said with a cold face, "A friend gave it to me."

"Master," Situ Jing didn't want to hear what they said anymore. He knew it was not Situ Xie who poisoned him, "go and bring Su Liang here."

"For your sake, of course I can go." Nangong Lin shook his head, "But the fastest way is, isn't it me taking you to find Su Liang?" In this way, Situ Jing can see Su Liang and get treatment faster.

Situ Jing frowned and then relaxed, "Master's words make sense!" He was in a very bad mood and his mind was a little confused.

But, could Situ Xie really not think of this? Or would he rather risk Situ Jing's treatment delaying the opportunity and causing complete blindness, and still let Su Liang come to Yaocheng? In this way, he can use the real Su Liang to save his grandchildren!

Situ Jing couldn't help but think so. He was poisoned and injured, but Situ Xie was not. With his shrewdness, he should not have thought of what was best for Situ Jing.

Situ Xie sighed repeatedly, "I was confused! I was so happy to see Jing'er back. I was so focused on letting you meet your father that I never thought about letting you leave again. But now, your body is the most important thing It’s important. In that case, I’ll arrange for someone to escort you and find Su Liang as soon as possible!”

"That's not necessary. I will accompany Jing'er." Nangong Lin said.

Situ Xie did not insist and let them go. He had many grandsons, but Situ Jing's identity was the most special. He had been trained for many years, but he became disabled in one day. If he could not recover, he would have no future.

"Grandfather, after I leave, please ask my father to restore my status as a prince." Situ Jing said to Situ Xie.

Situ Xie nodded, "As long as you are willing, there will be no problem with your father. According to the order of teeth, you should be the second prince. This is good, restore your status first, and the Gan people will not be able to find you no matter what they want to do. Come back after your eyes are cured."

Before Situ Jing left, he finally asked where the real Chen Yun was.

Situ Xie sighed deeply, "When I brought him back, I encountered a snowstorm and he ran outside at night." A child ran into the ice and snow and no one cared about him. The consequences are self-evident.

"Where is Chen Xiao?" Situ Jing asked.

Situ Xie asked back, "Do you want to see him?"

Situ Jing shook his head and left secretly with Nangong Lin.

Situ Xie looked at their backs, his face darkened. Chen Xiao was able to escape because Su Liang deliberately let him go. He was indeed loyal and came all the way to report the news.

However, Chen Xiao knew too much, and Situ Xie lied to Situ Han about some things. In addition, Chen Xiao's real value was his identity, but this identity was meaningless now. When he died in Situ Xie's hands without any preparation, he didn't even get an explanation.

...

Lao Mu was sure that Situ Xie was fine, alive, and not blind, and he went back to Lao Bai angrily to discuss countermeasures.

"I really poisoned it, and he drank that soup every day! Could there be a master who knows poison around him?" Lao Mu frowned and said.

Lao Bai asked, "Have you found Su Liang?"

Lao Mu shook his head, "No! I didn't see her shadow!"

"Keep watching." Lao Bai said.

Old Mu stood up and walked out. He stepped out of the door and turned back to scold Old Bai, "If it weren't for the little girl, I wouldn't listen to you!"

...

Situ Xie walked into the guest house and heard a strange voice in the room.

When he reached the door, he saw a tall girl standing inside with her back to him.

"This is my granddaughter Aying." The old woman pointed at the girl and introduced her to Situ Xie, and then said to the girl, "Aying, why don't you pay your respects to His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"

The girl turned around, tall and plump, with a charming look, and bowed, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

Situ Xie smiled, "No need to be polite. I didn't expect that Madam Yue had such an outstanding granddaughter. Now there is something that I have to trouble Miss Aying to help."

Madam Yue asked what it was, and Situ Xie said that he wanted her granddaughter to pretend to be someone.

Madam Yue laughed, "I understand. This is very simple, and I have the same idea!"

If Su Liang was here, she would find that Madam Yue's granddaughter was the sister Yuan Yingyuan she knew.

Yuan Ying didn't know who her grandmother asked her to pretend to be, so she sat there with her eyes on the nose and her nose on the heart.

"Does it look like it?" Madam Yue looked at Yuan Ying and asked Situ Xie.

Situ Xie shook his head, "Not very, but there is no need to show up or speak, so there is no problem."

"Very good. Maybe the person who was led out is the good senior brother I think about day and night." Madam Yue laughed, and her skinny face seemed to be only a piece of skin covering the bones, which was quite creepy.

"Miss Aying must have inherited the mantle of your grandfather, right?" Situ Xie looked at Yuan Ying with a gentle smile.

Yuan Ying shook her head, "My poison skills are not even one-tenth or one-twelve times as good as my grandmother's."

Situ Xie laughed and said that Yuan Ying was too modest.

Madam Yue asked Situ Xie, "You said that Su Liang is in your hands. When can I see her?"

Yuan Ying suddenly heard Su Liang's name and was slightly stunned. Seeing that Situ Xie and Madam Yue didn't notice it, she quickly lowered her eyes and lowered her head to avoid being discovered by others.

"My grandson's eyes were injured, so I went to her for treatment. I will bring her back later." Situ Xie said.

"Can Su Liang cure your grandson's eye injury?" Madam Yue sneered, "How is that possible?"

"She is known for her medical skills, not her poison skills. She is known as a miracle doctor. Madam Yue guessed that she was the apprentice of Madam Yue's senior brother, but it may not be true." Situ Xie explained.

"Miracle doctor?" Madam Yue was full of sarcasm, "Anyway, because your grandson was poisoned, Su Liang must have something to do with my senior brother! Aying, have you heard of Su Liang?"

Yuan Ying nodded, "I heard that she was the martial arts champion of Gan State."

"Next, you listen to the arrangements of King Yue, pretend to be Su Liang, and lead out the people who are secretly doing tricks in Yaocheng as soon as possible!" Madam Yue ordered.

Yuan Ying nodded again, "Yes, grandmother."

"No hurry, the king has to make some arrangements first, and then invite Miss Aying." Situ Xie left after he finished speaking.

Madam Yue also went out afterwards, and no one knew where she went.

Yuan Ying closed the door and frowned: Su Liang was captured by Situ Xie? Where is Gu Ling? She had to find out what happened.

As for Situ Xie asking Yuan Ying to pretend to be Su Liang and lure out the people who wanted to save Su Liang, Yuan Ying had only one thought: Let Situ Xie go to hell, she would never do anything to harm Su Liang!
