Not an Innocent Silly Child

In the underground secret room of Yuanming Pavilion.

Su Liang jumped down from the stairs with Gu Xiaonuan in her arms. When she entered the secret room, she saw Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu standing side by side. They were wearing cute pajamas made by Gu Ling for them. One was a wolf cub and the other was a tiger cub. They were holding The shining knife, his eyes alert, ready to kill the enemy. But the picture is actually a bit joyful.

Seeing that it was Su Liang, Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Su Liang through a passage and into a room.

Su Liang asked Zheng'er to hold Gu Xiaonuan, and she lit the lamp. The room was filled with dim light. All the furniture was complete, and there were beddings on the bed.

Zheng'er put Gu Xiaonuan on the bed and covered her with a quilt. When she turned around, Su Liang rubbed her head, "You two should go to bed too, and watch your sister."

Ji Xiaoshu frowned, "Master, do you want to go up and beat the bad guys?"

Su Liang nodded, "Your uncle Chengyun is still up there. I'm afraid something will happen to him."

"But if the bad guys are here to catch Master's wife, wouldn't it be better for Master's wife to hide?" Zheng'er's face was serious.

Ji Xiaoshu nodded repeatedly, "Yes! It will be dangerous to go out! Uncle Chengyun is very powerful, and he will definitely be able to beat the bad guys away!"

Su Liang sighed slightly. She knew that at this time, someone would come looking for trouble, and it would most likely be for her. The two children were right. It would be best for her to hide. Once she was captured, there would be endless troubles.

But this is only from the perspective of her own safety. Just because the situation outside was unknown, she was also worried that Chengyun would be in danger. The young monk had a pure and sincere temper. Su Liang said that if he was asked to help, he would do his best, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

And if the visitor is Sheng Yue, and he shows up just now, he must be well prepared, and I'm afraid it's not something Cheng Yun can handle.

"I'll go up and check the situation." Su Liang said, taking the shoes and socks from the closet, quickly putting them on, and then another coat. This is the "emergency shelter" that she and Gu Ling prepared. It has everything that may be used.

Both children looked worried, and Su Liang comforted them, "I will be careful. You stay here well and don't go out." As for Gu Xiaonuan, he has not woken up yet and is still sleeping soundly.

Su Liang put two grenades on his body, took a long sword and a nail gun, looked at Gu Xiaonuan again, and walked out.

"Master, be careful, we are waiting for you to come back." Zheng'er said with a serious face.

Su Liang waved his hand behind him, "I will."

…

Upstairs, Cheng Yun was still confronting the visitor, and the fight had not yet started.

It was impossible for Chengyun to imagine that the person who was not holding the child was his most trusted and favorite person since childhood, his uncle Pucheng who was like a father in his mind. The one holding the child is Pucheng's unknown son Sheng Yue.

Sheng Yue had one of his hands broken off by Gu Ling before, but now he had an iron hand attached, which was covered by long sleeves. Pucheng wore a wig on his head, so he couldn't tell that he was a monk at all.

The two of them had indeed come prepared. Lin Jingyun in Sheng Yue's arms was the bargaining chip he had found for himself. Now, it is more difficult to capture people from the Su Mansion as hostages, and it is easy to scare off the enemy. To capture a child from the house of a friend who is familiar with Su Liang is almost not difficult for an expert like Sheng Yue, and it is very easy to use.

"How do you want to let the child go?" Chengyun asked coldly.

Sheng Yue's tone was calm, "Let Su Liang come out. I know she is nearby. If she doesn't come out, just wait to collect Lin Jingyun's body."

"Why...why do you do such a sinful thing? Donor Su is a good person. She has excellent medical skills and has saved many people. She has never hurt others for no reason! If there is any misunderstanding, you can tell her that you are wrong. Don't do it again. You are wrong!" Cheng Yun was still the same young monk who believed in the goodness of human nature, and he actually started to persuade Sheng Yue and Pucheng.

Sheng Yue suddenly turned around and said, "Go outside. There is something weird in this room. If Su Liang doesn't come out within a quarter of an hour, I will throw the child into the freezing lake below." The words came out of the open window. Fly out.

Pucheng took another deep look at Chengyun and said, "Please call Su Liang out quickly. What happened tonight has nothing to do with you and is not something you can solve." After saying that, he turned around to go out.

Chengyun's face darkened, these people were here to harm Su Liang, and he couldn't let Su Liang come out! So, he rushed forward with a long stick in hand.

Half of Pucheng's body had gone out of the window, and half of his body was still inside. Lin Jingyun's cries and Sheng Yue's threats echoed in Chengyun's ears, and in his mind was Su Liang's trusting and gentle gaze when he asked him to go up with a stick. , beat Pucheng back to the room!

Pucheng thought he knew Chengyun very well and did not expect that he would suddenly attack. Because Cheng Yun was a child who practiced martial arts diligently since childhood but was never willing to use martial arts to attack others. Even if he was bullied, he would not fight back, let alone take the initiative to hit others.

Pucheng thought he knew everything that happened between Chengyun and Su Liang, but in fact Chengyun already had a secret in front of him. That time, Wan, the mother-in-law of Queen Qian Guo, captured Bai Xiaohu from Sujiacun and threatened Su Liang. Su Liang asked Chengyun for help. Chengyun watched helplessly as Su Liang beat the bad guy into the well. He learned that the next day The man is dead.

This was a killing that was hard for Cheng Yun to accept, but Su Liang advised him not to think so. A bad person deserves an early death and early rebirth.

Although Cheng Yun did not agree with Su Liang's theory of "early death and early rebirth", he did not mention that matter to anyone else, including his master and uncle. Because he promised Su Liang not to tell anyone else, he didn't tell anyone and only confessed for a long time in front of the Buddha.

If Pu Cheng knew that Cheng Yun had indirectly killed someone, he would certainly have a new understanding of him, and would also understand more about how much influence Su Liang had on him, and to what extent he trusted Su Liang.

And at the beginning of their acquaintance, the real intersection was that Cheng Yun, Su Liang and Gu Ling rescued Zheng Er who was kidnapped on a rainy day. They have one thing in common, they like children, have a stronger desire to protect children, and at the same time they hate people who take children as hostages.

And the fact that Pu Cheng and Sheng Yue captured Lin Jingyun was a blow to Cheng Yun.

Pu Cheng was not prepared for Cheng Yun, and after being beaten back to the room, he didn't want to fight Cheng Yun, so he wanted to leave after a feint.

But Cheng Yun's plan was to capture Pu Cheng and exchange Lin Jingyun, so that Su Liang wouldn't have to take risks, so how could he let Pu Cheng leave easily?

Pu Cheng didn't want to fight, because he was afraid that Cheng Yun would recognize him from his moves, and he was also afraid of hurting Cheng Yun.

But Cheng Yun was determined to take him down. He turned around and held his stick horizontally, blocking the door and the window.

When Su Liang came out of the underground secret room, he heard the sound of fighting upstairs, but did not hear the crying of the child. Because Sheng Yue was holding Lin Jingyun and standing by the lake, waiting for Pu Cheng to come out.

Su Liang held the nail gun in her hand, and the cold touch made her very sober. She leaned against the wall and walked upstairs lightly.

There was no light in Yuanming Pavilion. The fighting on the second floor was getting louder and louder. Cheng Yun's stick hit Gu Ling's favorite vase, which fell to the ground with a crisp sound of breaking.

The door of Su Liang's room was ajar. She gently pushed it open a crack and saw Cheng Yun's bald head at first glance, moving quickly in the room. As for the person who was fighting with Cheng Yun, it was just a black shadow and could not be identified, but it was certain that it was not Sheng Yue. Because Su Liang saw that the man's two hands were intact.

This made Su Liang a little confused: it was not Sheng Yue, and there was only one person... It was different from what she guessed.

But it didn't matter. Su Liang raised the nail gun, held her breath, and aimed the gun at the man's chest.

A moment later, Cheng Yun saw the man who was fighting with him suddenly shook, staggered two steps, covered his chest with one hand, and looked at the door.

Cheng Yun took the opportunity to hit the man with a stick and hit his knee!

Su Liang pushed the door open and was about to shoot again, but was stopped by Cheng Yun, "Don't kill him! They caught Xiao Jingyun, by the lake!"

Su Liang's expression changed suddenly. There were accomplices outside?

Pu Cheng's chest was pierced, and he felt the wound quickly numb, poisonous! He tried his best to leave, but Cheng Yun didn't let him, and at the same time, he told Su Liang, "You go back and hide, don't come out! I'll take him down to exchange for Xiao Jingyun!"

Su Liang heard this, raised the gun again, shot Pu Cheng's thigh, and he tilted his body and knelt on the ground!

Su Liang walked over, Cheng Yun frowned, "Go back quickly, I can handle it."

Su Liang shook his head slightly, stepped forward and pulled off the mask on Pu Cheng's face, revealing a strange and ordinary face. Sheng Yue disguised Pu Cheng just in case.

"Are you Sheng Yue's subordinate?" Su Liang asked coldly. She and Cheng Yun didn't think of Pu Cheng at all, so they didn't suspect that this person had disguised himself at this moment.

Pu Cheng nodded with an ugly face, "Yes."

"That's useless. Sheng Yue can't compromise for a subordinate." Su Liang snorted coldly.

Pu Cheng lowered his eyes and said, "I'm his father."

Su Liang was stunned and looked at Cheng Yun, "In that case, you take him to change people."

Cheng Yun nodded, saw Su Liang handing over the sword, hesitated for a moment, or took it, pulled Pu Cheng up, and put the long sword on his neck, "Let's go!"

Su Liang watched Cheng Yun and Pu Cheng go out and go downstairs. She didn't go back to the secret room. When she turned around, she saw a black shadow standing by the lake. It should be Sheng Yue. Sheng Yue has a father, which even Min Rou doesn't know. Min Rou said that Sheng Yue is an orphan taken in by Xingluo Island. It seems that Sheng Yue still has many secrets.

...

Sheng Yue watched Cheng Yun holding Pu Cheng and walking out of Yuanming Pavilion, his eyes were still very calm, and Lin Jingyun in his arms cried and fell asleep.

"He said it was your father." Cheng Yun said coldly, "Let the child go, and I will let him go."

Sheng Yue asked back, "Are you a monk? Would you kill my father?"

Cheng Yun's face froze, "I... I am a monk, if you dare to hurt little Jing Yun, you are not a human!"

Pu Cheng looked at Cheng Yun with a complicated look. This child has changed a long time ago, but he didn't notice it, which is also the main reason why he will fail tonight. Cheng Yun is not bad, but has become more aggressive.

Sheng Yue nodded, "Okay. Then change someone." He walked towards Cheng Yun after he finished speaking.

Cheng Yun's eyes were alert, and Sheng Yue quickly approached and handed the child in his arms to him.

Chengyun held the sword in one hand and went to pick up the child with the other, and Pucheng was pulled away by Shengyue.

The situation did not reverse as Su Liang was worried about, because Shengyue took Pucheng and left immediately.

Su Liang, who had been watching from the dark, chased them out and fired a few more shots at the two. But the nail gun had a limited range, and Shengyue noticed it and did not hit them. He looked back at Su Liang with deep eyes, then retracted his gaze and disappeared into the woods with Pucheng.

"Look, is little Jingyun okay? Why is he not crying?" Chengyun looked nervous, and the sword in his hand had been thrown away.

Su Liang looked at the child and shook his head, "It's okay, he just fell asleep. We have to send him back... No, let him stay first, I'll ask Qi Yan to notify the Lin family."

As he was talking, Qi Yan ran over, and beside him was Lin Bojun, who looked anxious, "Xiaoliang, Jingyun was stolen!"

...

The lights were on in Yuanming Pavilion, and Su Liang took the three children out of the secret room. It was already late at night.

Lin Jingyun was taken away by Lin Bojun. Su Liang expressed her apologies, but Lin Bojun said it was not her fault. Since he knew someone was secretly doing something, he would be careful to protect his family and come to Su Liang tomorrow to talk about what happened tonight.

"Are you not hurt?" Su Liang asked Chengyun.

Chengyun shook his head, "I'm fine. Why did those people catch you?"

"To kill me." Su Liang said.

Chengyun frowned, "Bad guys."

The two children nodded in unison, "Big bad guys!"

Ji Xiaoshu was angry, "Damn it! They actually caught the third junior brother! The third junior brother is so good!"

"That's right! Too bad!" Zheng'er said, waving his little fist.

"You two go back to your room and sleep first." Su Liang pulled them up, "I have something to say to your uncle Chengyun."

The two children left, and Su Liang sighed, "Thank goodness you are here tonight, otherwise I would have been captured."

Chengyun nodded, but didn't say anything, wanting to say something but stopping.

"What's wrong?" Su Liang asked.

"The man who fought with me..." Chengyun frowned.

"Do you know him?" Su Liang was surprised.

Chengyun shook his head, "No... His moves are a little familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere."

Su Liang's eyes condensed, "There are not many people who have fought with you."

"It shouldn't be, it's my illusion... It's a coincidence." Chengyun shook his head repeatedly.

Su Liang's heart moved, "Don't tell me that the moves you think are familiar come from your uncle?" Su Liang knew Chengyun. He was a martial arts master, but he was a little fool who would rather be beaten by a crowd than fight back on the street. He followed her and did some extraordinary things for a monk, nothing else. What can make Chengyun so entangled and deny his feelings must not be an illusion or coincidence.

And Su Liang suddenly thought that Chengyun's uncle left without saying goodbye during the day, and the monk Pucheng, who obviously had a story, overlapped with the face of Sheng Yue's father whom Su Liang saw tonight... Those eyes, the look he gave Chengyun, were him!

Before it was dark, Su Liang was highly focused on staring at Sheng Yue and saw something, but he didn't have time to think about it and it passed through his mind. Now he has regained his memory.

Chengyun looked ugly, "That's not my uncle. My uncle has no hair, no son, and he is not a bad person."

"Do you know all about his past?" Su Liang asked.

Chengyun nodded, "He said that someone killed his wife, and he became a monk out of despair."

"Since there is a wife, there may be a son." Su Liang asked Chengyun to tell her what happened tonight from beginning to end, including what they said.

Chengyun started talking from seeing someone coming out of the woods until Su Liang appeared. She knew everything that happened later.

After listening to Su Liang, she was more certain that the man who claimed to be Sheng Yue's father must be Pu Cheng.

Cheng Yun was in the middle of it, and he didn't want to believe that his uncle was not a good person, but Su Liang could tell from what Cheng Yun said that the two men were very polite to Cheng Yun and didn't want to fight with him. And Sheng Yue's father also said to Cheng Yun, "What happened tonight has nothing to do with him." This clearly wanted Cheng Yun to stay out of it, not to ruin their business, and not to get involved and make things difficult for them.

There was no light at the time, and Su Liang saw the man's face in the moonlight. He didn't look closely, so he didn't find any traces of disguise, but Sheng Yue knew how to disguise himself, and he wanted to disguise Pu Cheng as having nothing to do with the monk, which was completely possible.

"You... do you really think that's my uncle?" Cheng Yun looked incredulous.

Su Liang nodded, "I think so. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have behaved that way. Maybe your uncle tricked you into coming to me today, and he took the opportunity to leave, but he didn't expect me to let you stay at home."

"My uncle... why would he do such a thing? He's not that kind of person!" Cheng Yun still refused to believe it.

"Why else? Of course it's for his son." Su Liang snorted coldly, "Maybe he's not a bad person by nature, but some people will do anything for their children. If it was someone else, with Sheng Yue's ability, he would have had a chance to kill you and continue to threaten me with Jing Yun. If it wasn't you who fought them tonight, they wouldn't have been so merciful. They didn't fail completely, but they gave up temporarily because of you."

After Su Liang finished speaking, looking at Cheng Yun's expression, he knew that he was a little broken. He couldn't accept that the person who could do such a bad thing was Pu Cheng, whom he regarded as a father.

And Su Liang looked at Cheng Yun and remembered what Pu Cheng said about his life experience: the orphan of a good friend.

There was a joke in the previous life - I have a friend... Su Liang even began to doubt at this moment, could Cheng Yun also be Pu Cheng's son? Although the two of them did not look very similar, Pu Cheng really cared about Cheng Yun.

Su Liang did not say it, maybe she was overthinking and did not want to irritate Cheng Yun at this time. But she still kept this guess in her heart.

"At least they will not come again tonight. You go and rest first, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow." Su Liang gently patted Cheng Yun's shoulder.

Cheng Yun walked out in a trance, and after taking two steps, he tripped over his stick and almost fell. After standing still, he turned back and asked Su Liang, "Xiao Nuan Nuan... She was not frightened?"

Su Liang smiled, "It's okay, she doesn't know anything, she sleeps like a piglet, heartless."

"Heartless... There's nothing wrong with it." Cheng Yun walked out with a bitter face, and did not return to the room. He sat in the small hall again, looking out the window.

Su Liang sighed, closed the door, returned to the bed, looked at Gu Xiaonuan, and breathed a sigh of relief.

…

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the wind was bleak in the woods outside the city.

Sheng Yue took out the two nails in Pu Cheng's body and gave him a detoxifying drug.

Pu Cheng leaned against a big tree, his face pale.

Sheng Yue sat down next to him and said in a faint voice, "Father, are you helping me tonight?"

Pu Cheng's tone was not good, "Then what do you want me to do? Kill your brother?"

"Brother..." Sheng Yue snorted, "It seems that he is not the innocent and stupid child that father said. If I wanted to kill him, I could do it at that time, but I gave up. In addition to the failure tonight, father owes me twice. If I don't do it, Gu Ling will come back."
