【Who is the employer】
Ning Jing stood outside the door, exhausted. Read

"I'm here to find you. You can kill me or chop me up." Su Liang went out without asking where Ning Jing had been for the past two days.
Ning Jing handed over a cloth bag.
Su Liang took it and opened it. Inside were more than a dozen yellow wild fruits. She didn't recognize them, but they looked delicious.
She took them to the kitchen, washed them, and put them in a small bamboo basket. She tasted one. It was soft, juicy, sweet and sour.
When Su Liang wanted to listen to what Ning Jing said to Yan Shiba, Ning Jing came out of her room and returned to her own room.
Su Liang ate the fruit and walked in. She saw Yan Shiba lying on the ground with a cold face. He was not killed.
"I'm hungry." Yan Shiba looked at Su Liang.
Su Liang called Ning Jing, "Your guest is hungry. Are you here to feed her?"
"You saved her. You can do it yourself." Ning Jing's voice came from next door.
Su Liang looked puzzled, "What did he just say to you?"
Yan Shiba snorted, "Tell me not to have any idea about you, as if you are trying to steal his woman from me."
"I am who I am, not anyone else's." Su Liang shook his head.
"Very good." Yan Shiba's lips curled slightly, "I thought you fell in love with Ning Jing, but I didn't expect that he couldn't leave you. In this case, I want to take you away even more."
Su Liang was speechless. What kind of desire to win? What did he think of her?
Since Ning Jing didn't kill Yan Shiba, it means that he wanted to save her. Su Liang couldn't let her starve to death.
He heated up the porridge and fed her a bowl.
Yan Shiba knew Su Liang's name only then, indicating that she liked it very much...
After drinking the porridge and another bowl of medicine, Yan Shiba fell asleep again.
When Su Liang saw Ning Jing again, he had washed and changed his clothes, restored his original appearance, and was sitting in the kitchen drinking the remaining porridge.
"Where did you go?" Su Liang asked.
"Dealing with that family." Ning Jing said.
"That family..." Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You went to the mine?"
Only Su Dafu and Su Daming were redeemed, and there were four people working as laborers in the mine.
Ning Jing nodded gently.
Su Liang was very surprised. I heard from Hu Er that the nearest mine was in Bei'an County, not far from here, but Ning Jing had no car or horse, so he was away for two days and one night. He also sneaked into the mine to kill people? No wonder he was so tired when he came back, he must have not slept all the time.
"The night Su Dafu and Su Daming were redeemed, Xu and Su Xiaodie died." Ning Jing said.
The law of the jungle in the mine is very cruel, there are mostly young and strong men, and very few women. When Su Dafu and Su Daming were there, they could still protect Xu and Su Xiaodie. Once they left, the fate of the two women can be imagined.
Su Daqiang and Su Xiaoming, one old and one young, were also beaten half to death.
Ning Jing disguised himself as a soldier and sneaked in. When he found them, the grandparents said that they knew there was a demon in Sujia Village in order to save themselves...
"Who ordered Su Dafu and Su Daming to kill you?" Su Liang asked.
"Ning Huan, the sixth." Ning Jing said briefly, "Zhao Ming came with him."
"What about them?" Su Liang asked.
"Dead." Ning Jing looked indifferent, "Su Dafu told Ning Huan about you."
Su Liang understood. If the Ning family knew about it, they would make a big fuss.
This matter must be eradicated, and it cannot be done by others to let more people know.
"Thank you." Su Liang said.
Ning Jing was going to deal with the person who wanted to kill him, but if it weren't for the secret of Su Liang, he wouldn't have to go to this extent.
"Yan Shiba..." Su Liang asked.
"Keep her for now." Ning Jing said, "She is good at martial arts. If you want to leave one day, you can let her protect you."
Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that it's too naive to have a relationship with a killer?"
"I mean she shouldn't have a relationship with Yan Sui. She still has some humanity and is still a bit naive. You make some friends, maybe you can use them in the future." Ning Jing said.
Whether it's Yan Yu, Xing Yusheng or Yan Shiba, it's because of Ning Jing that they have contact with Su Liang.
Su Liang knows that Ning Jing wants to save these people just because of his special abilities, which has nothing to do with their identities. He doesn't want to make friends with them, and doesn't need to repay them.
At the same time, he has been providing Su Liang with opportunities to show kindness to others.
He repeatedly said that he hoped Su Liang would stay and work for him, but he was paving the way for Su Liang's life after leaving him.
"Don't you want me to stay? You should make me dependent on you, and I can only follow you without anyone to rely on." Su Liang said.
Ning Jing looked indifferent, "You can think of me playing hard to get."
Su Liang: ... Such a blatant calculation? Really good!
"Then let's talk about it later." Su Liang had her own judgment, but since Ning Jing said so, she put aside the few feelings she had just felt and decided to think about it again.
On second thought, she asked Ning Jing again if he was sure to deal with Yan Sui.
"Yan Shiba also injured Yan Sui's vitals, and he won't come for the time being." Ning Jing said, "You should cure her as soon as possible, and then let her solve the troubles of Yanyun Tower by herself."
This is also one of the reasons for keeping Yan Shiba. She will fight against those people in Yanyun Tower who want to kill Ning Jing.
"Okay." Su Liang said she would try her best.
After making dinner, Su Liang asked Ning Jing to deliver food to Erniu's house. Ning Jing only then knew that he had been away for two days, and the whole village knew that Su Liang knew medical skills, and he had already started practicing medicine.
When Ning Jing arrived at Erniu's house, he put down the meal and was about to leave when Erniu chased him out, "Brother Ning! You must be nice to Sister Su Liang!"
Ning Jing turned around and saw Erniu's round eyes, bright and clear in the dim sky, full of eagerness, waiting for his answer.
Ning Jing nodded slightly, turned and left.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Su Liang hurriedly out again. A child in the village had a fever and asked her to come over for treatment.
Ning Jing didn't go with him. He filled the rice and ate it by himself when he heard Yan Shiba calling him next door.
After eating and sending the dishes to the kitchen, he went to Su Liang's room.
Yan Shiba's voice was cold, "You and Su Liang are not husband and wife."
"What does it have to do with you?" Ning Jing asked.
"She has a good temperament for me. When I get better, I will take her away. Don't blame me for not informing you in advance." Yan Shiba said.
"She won't go with you." Ning Jing said.
Yan Shiba sneered, "Then, let's see!"
By the time Su Liang got home, it was completely dark and Ning Jing had gone to sleep.
The dinner was warming in the pot. She ate some herself, then went to feed Yan Shiba, and helped her get up and go to the backyard to relieve herself.
Yan Shiba looked up at the sky, his pale face turned blue by the frosty moonlight, and he did not look alive at all.
"Actually, I know that if I go back that time, I might die."
Su Liang stopped and looked at the moon.
The crescent moon was crescent, and she unexpectedly remembered her grandmother holding her when she was young, telling the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. The old and warm voice was still in her ears, but since her grandmother passed away, she has no relatives.
"Do you know why I want to go back?" Yan Shiba asked Su Liang, as if he was asking himself.
Su Liang replied, "You think you are special."
"Haha, how ridiculous!" Yan Shiba's face was full of ridicule, "I was raised by him. He always talks about father-daughter love with me, but when I want to talk about love with him, he turns his back."
"Emotions are just a tool for him to control you. If you really take it seriously, you will lose." Su Liang thought again of the so-called relatives who kidnapped her morally in her previous life.
"But even if I know the result, I will still go back." Yan Shiba's eyes turned cold, "It would be great if he is still my adoptive father. If he turns his back and refuses to recognize him, it will be life and death. I will never choose to hide and escape, let He's better off!"
The cruel and ruthless Yan Shiba is not brave or foolhardy. She was gambling, and she was prepared to lose.
"The previous owner of Yanyun Tower was my father. Yan Sui once swore to my late father that he would protect me with his life. Now that I think about it, if it hadn't been for the elders recruited by my father, he would have killed me long ago. This time Ning Jing failed and finally had a reason to take action against me! But I had already taken precautions. The secrets of Yanyun Tower were all in my mind, and he couldn't bear the consequences of leaking them out!" Yan Shiba said coldly.
Su Liang's heart moved, "You mean, past employer information?"
Yan Shiba glanced at her deeply, "Do you want to cooperate with me? As long as you kill Yan Sui, I will be the owner! Then, you can walk sideways in this world!"
Only then did Su Liang understand that Yan Shiba was testing her and tempting her by saying so much.
To be honest, it is quite tempting to have the future owner of Yanyun Tower to protect you, guarantee safety, and have huge wealth.
But Su Liang refused, "The ones walking sideways are crabs. I wish you success."
"If you don't help me, it will be no good for you in the future!" Yan Shiba snorted, "Don't be fooled by Ning Jing's appearance! He is the son of a businessman who was expelled from his family, but he has such hidden martial arts. He definitely has a big agenda! He married you because your medical skills are valuable, but you will end up being nothing more than a pawn!"
"If he is what you said, what's the difference between you and him?" Su Liang asked.
Yan Shiba smiled, "Little sister, the biggest difference between him and me is of course male and female. He wants to deceive your heart, but also your body, and in the end he will eat you up and kick you away, but don't come after me. Cry! If you were like me, it would be different. My sister will ensure that you live a happy life like a god!"
Su Liang thought for a while and said, "Sounds really good. Why don't you do this? I'll treat you well and do something for me. If it works, I will promise you."
Yan Shiba nodded, "You say."
"I have always admired the rumored Prince Gu, please bring him to me." Su Liang said.
Yan Shiba was slightly startled, "Gu Ling? Do you like him?"
"I want to see how beautiful the rumored most beautiful woman in the capital really is." Su Liang said.
Yan Shiba smiled, "Interesting. Then it's a deal!"
Su Liang asked seemingly unintentionally, "By the way, who hired Yan Yunlou to kill Gu Ling?"
Yan Shiba blurted out, "The years are like snow."
Su Liang was greatly surprised. She knew this name, Gu Ling's fiancée. What grudge?
"We agreed, as long as I help you find Gu Ling, you will leave Ningjing and come with me." After Yan Shiba lay down, he confirmed with Su Liang again.
Su Liang nodded absently, "Yeah."
But she knew that the man next door was most likely the missing Gu Ling, and it was impossible for Yan Shiba to find him.
…
The capital of Qian Kingdom.
Nian Jincheng returned home after returning to the palace. As soon as he sat down and took a drink of water, a servant reported that the fourth lady was here.
Nian Ruxue was dressed in white. When she entered the door, she turned away the servants and looked at Nian Jincheng with a cold face, "Second brother, where is my hosta?"
Nian Jincheng shook his head, "It's just a hairpin, just throw it away."
"You took it, give it back to me!" Nian Ruxue looked angry.
Nian Jincheng did not deny it anymore, "I didn't want to see you sad for Gu Ling anymore, so I took it and threw it away."
Nian Ruxue pulled out the sword on the wall and pointed it at Nian Jincheng, "Second brother, don't lie to me, you know where he is. Tell me, or I will die in front of you!"
Nian Jincheng watched as Nian Ruxue turned her wrist and put the cold sword on her neck, and her expression changed drastically, "What are you doing? Put it down quickly!"
Nian Ruxue's eyes were determined, "Second brother, my father forced me to be the prince's concubine, can you bear to watch me marry someone I don't love? As long as you tell me where he is, I will go find him, even if I have to wander around the world!"
Nian Jincheng snatched Nian Ruxue's sword and said coldly, "I don't know! Can you be more sober? The jade hairpin was given to you by Gu Ling's mother, not by him! Since he left, it has already shown his feelings. You are willing to wander around the world with him, but do you know that he doesn't want to? Don't be silly!"
Nian Ruxue seemed to have been drained of all her strength in an instant, and her eyes were red, "I hired people from Yanyun Tower to find him, but there has been no news..."
Nian Jincheng looked at Nian Ruxue in disbelief, "Are you crazy? You hired someone to kill him?"
"No, I know the killer can't kill him, I just want him to come back to me. He will understand." Nian Ruxue murmured.
Nian Jincheng frowned fiercely, "Immediately cancel your mission to Yanyun Tower!"
Nian Ruxue shook her head, "Unless my second brother tells me where he is, you will know."
A delicate figure in a wedding dress appeared in Nian Jincheng's mind, and he said expressionlessly, "Perhaps, he has married and had children now."
Nian Ruxue stared at Nian Jincheng with wide eyes, "What did you say? He... got married?"
Nian Jincheng no longer answered, and walked out with his sleeves swung.
"Impossible, impossible... He is so arrogant, how can a woman be in his eyes?" Nian Ruxue kept shaking her head, but she didn't realize that tears were streaming down her face.
