I Want It Too

After meeting Lao Bai, Su Liang suspected that the original owner's life experience was unusual. After learning the exact news about Xingluo Island from Min Rou and that Yue Meizhen had colluded with them, Su Liang suspected that the original owner's mother might have been born on Xingluo Island, and was most likely the daughter of Shen Qingxue.

But Su Liang never expected that Mrs. Min said that she looked like Mo Yan's daughter. That means that Mo Yan's daughter and Shen Qingxue's daughter point to the same person. Shen Qingxue was killed by Yue Mei and finally followed Mo Yan?

But Min Rou said that Mo Yan had a portrait, saying that it was his lover who was far away, and the clothes of the person in the painting were not from this world, but more like Su Liang's previous life. This led Su Liang to subconsciously think that Mo Yan did not marry and have children after crossing over, and he had been missing his lover in another world.

"Could it be that Shen Qingxue looks similar to Mo Yan's lover in his previous life?" Su Liang made a guess.

Gu Ling nodded, "It's possible."

Su Liang took out a box from the cabinet and opened it. Inside was a bright and translucent purple jade pendant.

This was left by the original owner. Su Liang had worn it around her neck for a long time, but later Gu Ling gave her a new jade pendant to replace it.

When Su Yuanzhou's family was relocated back to their hometown, Su Liang wanted to set up a tomb for the original owner, but her uncle Su Bai opposed it and thought it was unlucky. Second, Su Liang received a note before that. Now it seems that the person who sent the note to her should be He Wei.

The note made Su Liang begin to suspect that there were other time travelers in the world and they were targeting her. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Liang gave up the idea of ​​setting up a tomb for the original owner, but buried the relics left by the original owner in Su Yuanzhou's coffin. These included the original owner's clothes and many embroidery works she made by hand.

This purple jade pendant was not put into the coffin because Su Liang felt that it might still be useful. In case the original owner's mother's family appeared, there would be a token when necessary. Whether it was used or not was another matter. When you want to use it, you can't dig up Su Yuanzhou's grave again.

At this moment, Su Liang put the purple jade pendant on the table, and below it was the basic situation of Xingluo Island that she had written.

There was no word on the jade pendant, but Su Liang had a hunch that it belonged to the original owner's mother and might be related to Xingluo Island.

"Mo Yan's personal space may not be an object, and it cannot be changed, but exists in his mind and consciousness. Although I think this thing is too mysterious, I am a mysterious existence myself." Su Liang continued to analyze, "Since He Wei is Mo Yan's first confidant and knows him very well, it seems that he even knows about his time travel and space. What is his purpose in being loyal to Mo Yan?"

Gu Ling stared, "They think Mo Yan is an immortal, and as long as he wants, he has the ability to get the world."

Su Liang snorted, "So, He Wei and these top martial arts warriors think that they can soar to the sky by following Mo Yan? He Wei has an extraordinary status on Xingluo Island, and other old men are willing to die for the great cause, and nine out of ten are for the future of their children and grandchildren."

Gu Ling nodded in agreement. Those who can master the ultimate martial arts either truly live in seclusion and are indifferent to fame and fortune, or once they are born, they will definitely have great ambitions.

And these masters want to be loyal to the royal family directly, but it is difficult to be trusted. If there is a chance, they can become the founding heroes of the new dynasty, which can ensure the prosperity of several generations.

Mo Yan is regarded as the king because he does have extraordinary abilities to conquer these people.

"I used to think that it was a fantasy for Mo Yan to go back, and it was impossible, but now I think he might really want to go back. Because he has no children or grandchildren here. Even if the original owner is really his granddaughter, she is an existence he doesn't even know about." Su Liang said, "Plus he is obsessed with his lover in his previous life, Shen Qingxue may just be a substitute."

Gu Ling looked at the purple jade pendant thoughtfully, "Maybe Mo Yan promised that he would leave if he got the world and gave it to He Wei. If he was greedy for power, he would not wait until now to leave the island."

With Mo Yan's ability, if he wanted to stir up the world, he could have done it long ago. Just like this time, if it weren't for his space, Liang Country would not have enough food and grass to go to war with Gan Country.

"Then what do you think Mo Yan has been dormant for so many years?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling looked indifferent, "Maybe he is making a time machine."

Su Liang held his forehead, "With the level of technology here, this is really impossible to achieve."

"I mean, he is looking for a way back. It may not require technology, maybe something mysterious." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang looked puzzled, "Master, you said before that he might have traveled from the future of my previous life. Maybe there was a time machine in his previous life, or some special thing that could complete the travel, or even go back?"

"Maybe his time machine transmitter is out of power or broken, and he has been repairing it." Gu Ling said.

This comes from a plot in a TV series "A Step into the Qin" that Su Liang told Gu Ling. The male protagonist traveled back to the Qin Dynasty through a time machine to complete the mission. He brought a signal transmitter with him. By pressing the transmitter, people could turn on the time machine again and return along the same route...

"Stop, stop." Su Liang shook his head. "If you think about it in this direction, there will be more and more possibilities. In short, Mo Yan's purpose may be to go back, no matter what means. So what does he want to find me for? Need help?"

Gu Ling pondered for a moment and said, "To be an experimental subject."

If you need help, you can come over and say hello and communicate openly. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it. But judging from the current situation, Mo Yan already knows that there must be a time traveler between Gu Ling and Su Liang, and it is basically confirmed that it is Gu Ling, and then he began to help Situ Xie fight against the Gan Kingdom. Gu Ling and Su Liang are the core forces of the Gan Kingdom's imperial power.

That is, Mo Yan is the enemy of Gu Ling and Su Liang, and he is not ready to cooperate.

Gu Ling believes that Mo Yan's plan is to defeat him, make him penniless, and control him, and do something for him that only a time traveler can do, and it will definitely not be a good thing. If we discuss it carefully, he will definitely not agree to that.

"I think your speculation makes sense. He Wei thinks that I may be Mo Yan's granddaughter, and wants to kill me and prevent Mo Yan from seeing me, because if I am really the granddaughter, Mo Yan may not leave? Or stop being our enemy and give up all the original plans?" Su Liang said.

"Not necessarily." Gu Ling shook his head, "But there is such a possibility, you are a threat and obstacle to He Wei."

Su Liang rubbed his forehead, "Things are finally clearer." Since receiving the note until now, the fog shrouding their eyes has dissipated a lot with Min Rou's explanation, but there are still some unsolved mysteries, including whether Mo Yan really wants to travel back and whether it is really possible to do it, and what he wants to do by looking for other time travelers.

"Let's eat first." Su Liang held Gu Ling's hand and pulled him up. "After eating, you have to go to the palace to see if the black fog between Duanmu Chen's eyebrows has disappeared."

...

Ji Xiaoshu didn't expect Gu Ling to test his homework during dinner, and immediately said, "Grandpa Lin came yesterday, but he didn't attend class!"

"Where are the words you wrote yesterday?" Gu Ling asked.

Ji Xiaoshu was dumbfounded, and Zheng'er also lowered his head silently. Because they didn't attend class, they had too much fun yesterday, and they didn't even write the two words that Gu Ling asked them to write every day.

"Can I make up for it today?" Ji Xiaoshu asked weakly.

"Master, I didn't write it either." Zheng'er took the initiative to admit it.

"Double it." Gu Ling looked indifferent.

Zheng'er immediately nodded to indicate that it was no problem, and Ji Xiaoshu looked at Su Liang with a sad face, asking for help.

Su Liang smiled, "When you finish writing, if your master is free, let him take you to find tadpoles and frogs. Don't you want to see them?"

The eyes of the two children lit up instantly, and they all looked at Gu Ling.

"Master, if you don't agree, let the master's wife beat you!" Ji Xiaoshu was very fearless and fanned the flames.

Gu Ling agreed, but at the same time twisted Ji Xiaoshu's ear.

Ji Xiaoshu laughed, "Master, you didn't eat enough? It doesn't hurt at all this time!"

Zheng'er:...

After breakfast, it was already half an hour, and the two children went to write obediently in order to go to find tadpoles with Gu Ling earlier.

Gu Ling secretly went to the palace to see Duanmu Chen.

Duanmu Chen was still hiding in the library and didn't go out. Today's morning court was cancelled. When the officials learned that Duanmu Chen was assassinated and injured, some people were panicked.

But the good thing is that there is still no news of the war in the north. If there is a war report at this time, it will only make people more uneasy.

When Gu Ling saw Duanmu Chen, the black mist was still on his forehead. This means that He Wei and his gang are still in the capital. Perhaps they want to make sure Duanmu Chen is dead before leaving, or perhaps He Wei plans to kill Su Liang before leaving. Once they know that Duanmu Chen has avoided the explosion, they will definitely attack again.

"Your Majesty, hide for a few more days." Gu Ling said.

Duanmu Chen sighed, "In order to stabilize the court, why don't I issue an order to make you the regent and temporarily manage the government?"

Duanmu Chen was sincere. He had been thinking about this last night, but he felt that Gu Ling would definitely refuse. Unexpectedly, Gu Ling nodded directly, "That's what I meant."

Duanmu Chen looked strange, "If I didn't know that you were not interested in the throne, there would be no need to go around so much. It would be hard for me not to suspect that you had ulterior motives!"

Gu Ling looked indifferent, "As long as the emperor doesn't suspect that I like you, nothing else matters."

Duanmu Chen: ...Listen to what you are saying? I'm drunk! He is a normal man!

But if Chang'an were here, he would definitely nod to show that Gu Ling's words made sense. Because since he knew that Gu Ling was keeping watch for him, Duanmu Chen's attitude towards Gu Ling was simply outrageous. He kept saying that Gu Ling was his best friend, completely forgetting that he had said that if Su Liang hadn't been there, he and Gu Ling would definitely be enemies. Chang'an hadn't heard Duanmu Chen mention Su Liang's name for several days, and Gu Ling's name shouldn't be mentioned too often...

However, Duanmu Chen wanted outsiders to think that he was seriously injured. This was Gu Ling's intention. In order to prevent He Wei from bombing the palace again, Chang'an secretly went to find Empress Dowager Xiao, and Empress Dowager Xiao issued an order to let Gu Ling be the regent.

This might make all officials and people suspect that Duanmu Chen was not doing well, but it would not have much impact on the situation. Gu Ling was handling the government affairs, and there would be no chaos.

When Gu Ling was about to leave, Duanmu Chen stopped him again.

Gu Ling thought there was something important, but Duanmu Chen said, "Next time you come, can you bring me some buns, the meat buns you made?"

Gu Ling gave Duanmu Chen a cold look and let him experience it himself.

...

Gu Ling left the palace and returned home secretly. Not long after that, the imperial edict came from the palace. Because Duanmu Chen was injured and needed to rest, Empress Dowager Xiao appointed Changxin Hou Gu Ling as the regent of Gan State and temporarily acted as the government.

The news quickly spread in the capital and spread to other places.

Some people suspected that Duanmu Chen was dead, and he had no son. The only brother who was still alive, Duanmu Che, was said to be crazy and was locked up somewhere to recuperate. The emperor Duanmu Yi was still alive, but he had a stroke and could not take care of himself.

Of course, there are also conspiracy theorists. They seem to have suddenly remembered that Gu Ling has half the blood of Situ clan of Liang Kingdom and was once canonized as king by the royal family of Liang Kingdom. They think that he must have murdered Duanmu Chen and planned to collude with the royal family of Liang Kingdom to seize the Kingdom of Gan.

But no matter how the rumors spread, after the changes in the royal family and the court of Qian Kingdom in the past two or three years, no one can shake the "power" led by Gu Ling and Su Liang. Let’s just talk about the most important generals during the chaos. In the north, Su Liang’s adoptive father Xing Ji and Gu Ling’s cousin Qiu Cong led the troops. In the south, Gu Ling’s “only friend” who grew up together, Nian Jincheng, and later became His best friend's wife made the decision. The commander of the city defense army is Su Liang's senior brother Lin Bojun, his father-in-law is the Duke of Qin, and his brother-in-law is Su Liang's adopted brother.

After receiving the order, Gu Ling went to the palace again, this time in the open. When he met Empress Dowager Xiao, he only said that Duanmu Chen was here to ensure safety and avoid the limelight.

By the time Gu Ling got home again, it was already time for lunch.

Su Liang went to the kitchen and made a few of his favorite dishes. Min Rou helped Su Liang and asked Su Liang to teach her when he had time.

After dinner, Min Rou went to clean up and wash the dishes. She began to feel that it was good to do some housework within her ability. No one was born to be enslaved.

Su Liang took Gu Ling to bed, feeling that he had been too tired recently, and planned to wait until he woke up to talk about the next thing.

"I suspect that He Wei is hiding in the dark now, waiting for an opportunity to harm you." Gu Ling hugged Su Liang and sighed.

Su Liang pointed to the center of his eyebrows, "Is it black?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "No." He has saved many people over the years because of his special abilities, just so that when the people he cares about are in danger, he can detect and avoid them in advance.

Although Su Liangyintang has not turned black yet, He Wei is still alive, but Gu Ling still cannot feel at ease.

"I forgot someone." Su Liang suddenly sat up, "That assassin may know my face."

The two got out of bed again and went to the underground secret room.

Gu Ling gave the assassin the antidote and waited for him to wake up. If he could really recognize Su Liang's face and think that Su Liang was Mo Yan's granddaughter, he might change his stance and help find He Wei's hiding place. Anyway, there is no other use for keeping this person, so it is worth a try.

The assassin faintly woke up, and Su Liang asked, "Have you seen me or anyone who looks similar to me?"

The assassin looked at Su Liang intently, and then, like his accomplices, bit off his tongue...

You won't die immediately after biting your tongue, but Su Liang felt that there was no need to interrogate him anymore, so he pulled Gu Ling out and said, "Go back to sleep."

…

Su Liang slept deeply. When she woke up, she heard Gu Xiaonuan laughing. Gu Ling had already gotten up and was playing with her daughter by the window.

Su Liang got out of bed and came over. When Gu Xiaonuan saw her, he started playing hide and seek, hiding in Gu Ling's arms.

Su Liang cooperated for a while and then ignored Gu Xiaonuan. She hugged Gu Ling from behind, leaned against him and said, "I'm thinking that we can't let He Wei know that his daughter and granddaughter are in our hands for the time being, otherwise he will be in our hands." There are many hostages in the capital who can threaten us to release them, so we can't use He Qianqian's signal smoke to lure He Wei. We don't know what he is planning when he turns around and arrests us. I'm worried about the consequences for my children. Why don't I go out to Huguo Temple later to see if I can lure He Wei out?"

Gu Ling frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's fine." As time passed, it would be even more troublesome for He Wei to make a new batch of explosives.

Gu Xiaonuan stretched out her little hand and grabbed Su Liang's hair, babbling at Su Liang to continue playing hide-and-seek with her.

Su Liang freed her hair and said, "Master, your daughter is bullying me."

Gu Ling held Gu Xiaonuan in front of Su Liang and said, "Beat him as you like."

As a result, Gu Xiaonuan came over and kissed Su Liang with a smile.

The smile spread in Gu Ling's eyes, "I want it too."
