Yaocheng, midnight. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒙.𝒄𝒐𝒎Google Search Reading

Lao Bai! Lao Bai, wake up! Stop sleeping! Lao Mu rushed into the room and pulled Lao Bai up from the bed. The table next to him is still full of various medicinal materials, as well as some semi-finished products.

Lao Bai looked at Lao Mu coldly, What are you doing?

I saw a carriage entering the Prince Yue's Mansion from the back door! Lao Mu looked excited. It was a coincidence. I couldn't sleep tonight so I went to watch near the Prince Yue's Mansion! Although I didn't see anyone, our little girl might have In there!

Lao Bai sat up straight and narrowed his eyes slightly, Whether it is or not, it's time to get to know Situ Xie!

What do you think we should do? Send a message to Prince Yue's Mansion and make an appointment to replace someone outside the city tomorrow night? Lao Mu frowned, This is Situ Xie's territory after all. We must be careful. Our old bones are worthless, so don't hurt the little one. Girl!

As he spoke, Lao Mu sighed, I accepted her as my disciple, but I didn't teach her anything.

Where did that boy named Gu go? Lao Bai hummed.

Lao Mu shook his head, How do I know this? But you old man, don't worry about the love affairs of young people. Gu Ling is also my apprentice. He must be more anxious than anyone else if the little girl is caught. Maybe he is now It’s also in Yao City!”

Send a message to Situ Xie at midnight tomorrow at the birch forest by the Wolong River outside the city. Lao Bai said.

It is summer now, the warmest season in Liang Kingdom. Although the snow in Wolong Snow Mountain is still unmelted, the river outside the city is flowing, making it suitable to escape at any time.

Have you been here before? I don't even know about the birch forest. Lao Mu muttered, without asking further questions, and started thinking about how to spread the news to Prince Yue's Mansion.

Although at first when Lao Mu brought Lao Bai to Su Liang's house, Lao Bai was an unconscious drunk, Lao Mu was very sober. But now that Lao Bai has given up drinking, he has shown a stronger side, and although Lao Mu always criticizes him, he actually listens to him.

At dawn the next day, Situ Xie's carriage came out of the Prince of Yue's Mansion. Suddenly an old beggar appeared in the corner, holding a letter in his hand, Your Majesty, the Prince of Yue, we have news about the princess!

The guard who was about to drive away the beggar heard Situ Xie's voice coming from the carriage. He opened the curtain a crack and saw the letter in the old beggar's hand. He ordered it to be taken and rewarded.

Not long after, the old beggar walked for a while with a piece of silver in his pocket, looking around, and then ran into an alley like flying.

The guard opened the letter, followed Situ Xie's request, shook the paper, wiped it with his sleeve, and then handed it to him.

Having learned from the previous experience of Situ Jing being poisoned, Situ Xie carefully covered it with two layers of handkerchief to avoid direct contact between his skin and the letter paper and cause poisoning.

The handwriting in the letter was unfamiliar and scrawled. It said that I would be in the birch forest by the Wolong River at midnight tonight to exchange Su Liang for Situ Yao. If he didn't go or played tricks, he would collect Situ Yao's body.

After reading it, Situ Xie threw the letter and the veil aside with a gloomy expression. This was expected by him, because he had deliberately arranged the carriage in the middle of the night yesterday. If anyone was watching and saw that a carriage entered the house at that time and went through the back door, they would definitely become suspicious.

After putting on a whole show, Situ Xie even specially asked Yuan Ying to leave the city secretly and come back in that car.

At the moment, what Situ Xie was thinking about was whether Gu Ling was in Yaocheng or not, and whether this letter had something to do with him? Or is it true that as Mrs. Du Xianyue said, her Du Sheng senior brother is Su Liang's unknown master and came to save her after learning that she was captured?

Situ Xie thought of Lao Mu again. New 𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸𝑜𝓂 In the past few days, he recalled what happened to Su Liang and Gu Ling when they were in Yaocheng last year. He deeply suspected that the hidden weapon fan had something to do with them from the beginning, and Mu Yu's master had also been there for a long time. Just get to know them.

When he entered the palace and saw Situ Han, he was drafting a decree to restore Situ Jing's identity.

Situ Han didn't look good when he saw Situ Xie. He has not yet seen his son Situ Jing, but he learned that his son was poisoned and blinded in Prince Yue's Mansion.

Uncle Huang is here again today, why? Situ Han said coldly.

Situ Xie sat down and said, I have important matters to discuss with the emperor. It concerns Qianguo and Yanguo.

Hearing this, Situ Han hummed and said, Did the Emperor's uncle also arrange other details, and are you just planning to tell me now?

Situ Xie shook his head, It's Su Liang and Gu Ling's secret.

Situ Han stared, What secret?

Actually, they have known each other for a long time. Situ Xie said.

Situ Han frowned, What kind of secret is this?

I mean, they were together when Gu Ling was still a rebel. Situ Xie said.

Situ Han was stunned for a moment, Seriously? What evidence does the emperor have?

There was a man named Liang who had been favored by Ning'er. After something happened to the Gu family, he followed Gu Ling for a while and knew a lot about him. Situ Xie said, mentioning Uncle Liang, Sujia Village, Ningjing, Wen Number one scholar...

Situ Han heard half of it and looked at Situ Xie in disbelief, Uncle Huang is saying that Gu Ling is the same Ning Jing who was with Su Liang before? They are deceiving the emperor!

Situ Xie nodded, No matter which country you are in, it is an extremely serious act of deceiving the emperor and neglecting your superiors. This matter was not leaked out originally because I still miss Gu Ling, but who knew that he didn't miss him at all. Now that things have happened, there is no need to keep secrets for him anymore! As long as Qianguo Duanmuyi knows that Su Liang and Gu Ling have been lying to him, I am afraid he will not continue to go against Liangguo for Su Liang and in vain for the overall interests of Qianguo!

Why did your uncle say this now? Situ Han looked angry, If you had told me earlier, Su Liang and Gu Ling wouldn't have ruined your original plan and caused this situation!

I don't have the ability to predict the future. Situ Xie sighed. His original plan was to let Situ Jing gain a high position in the Qian Kingdom and gain access to the core of power through his relationship with Su Liang. In this way, once it detonates, the Qian Kingdom will fall into a huge crisis.

Unfortunately, the major plan collapsed due to Situ Jing's momentary weakness, causing things to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

The reason why Situ Xie decided to betray Gu Ling at this time was because he knew very well that the so-called secret was somewhat outdated and there would be no benefit in telling it before. Ting Jing is dead, Su Liang and Gu Ling have done everything very carefully. If Situ Xie stood on the streets of Qian Kingdom's capital and shouted that the original Wen Zhuangyuan Ning Jing was actually Gu Ling in disguise, the people of Qian Kingdom would think he was crazy...

But even if it is outdated, it may not be useless to the suspicious and seriously ill emperor.

Situ Xie didn't want ordinary people to know, he just wanted to pass the news to Duanmu Yi.

Situ Han suddenly sneered, If Duanmu Yi believed it, then the Duke of Qin State of Qian State, the great Confucian family, and Xing Ji, who had been very close to Su Liang, would all be suspected of having known about it for a long time but deliberately concealing it to protect the son of a former rebel. Gu Ling! And Nian Jincheng, he is Gu Ling's best friend, how could he not know anything! When the time comes, I want to see how Duanmu Yi can pretend that nothing happened!

Situ Xie nodded, Since the Emperor agrees, I will send someone to Qian Kingdom today. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫ˢʰᵘˣ.ᶜᵒᵐ

Okay. Situ Han nodded and listened to Situ Xie talking about the letter he received just after leaving home.

I have arranged for a woman to pretend to be Su Liang and go to the appointment tonight to see who she is. Situ Xie said.

Gu Ling should be here, Situ Han said.

Situ Xie thought thoughtfully, Given how nervous he is towards Su Liang, he will definitely not do nothing. But whether he has really come to Yaocheng or not is not yet certain. We will know after tonight.

Uncle Huang said, what else is going on with Yan Kingdom? Situ Han asked.

Situ Xie's expression became serious, Your Majesty, I think that the most urgent thing is to form an alliance with the Yan Kingdom!

Situ Han was very angry when he heard this, Why haven't we formed an alliance? So many times, how can the Yan Kingdom be reliable?

The failures in the past not only taught us lessons, Yanguo also did not gain much benefit. After this time, the royal family of Yanguo should see how strong Qianguo has become. Only by uniting can we destroy Qianguo in one fell swoop. , when joining forces is useless, it will be irreversible. Situ Xie looked solemn.

Uncle Huang, do you think they will agree to form an alliance with Yan Kingdom this time? Even if they agree, can you believe it? Situ Han still couldn't trust the Yan Kingdom royal family.

Regardless of success or failure, try your best to win over us, otherwise the greater the conflict between us and Yan Kingdom, the more Qian Kingdom will be happy to see it. The overall situation is the most important, let's put aside the past grudges with Yan Kingdom for the time being. Situ Xie said.

Situ Han took a deep breath and said, Okay. I will listen to your uncle on this matter. There will be a replacement tonight. If your uncle goes there in person, please be careful.

Qi Jun has been in Yaocheng for two days, disguised and staying in an inconspicuous small inn.

He set out for the north on the day he received Nian Jincheng's second letter. He wanted to find Lao Mu and Lao Bai and tell them that Su Liang was neither in Liang Kingdom nor in Situ Xie's hands. He was afraid that they would be killed by Situ Xie for not knowing. Get it under control.

However, Qi Jun could not find Lao Mu and Lao Bai in the city in the past two days, and he did not dare to do anything rashly that might expose his identity and arouse suspicion, so he could only silently follow the movements of Prince Yue's palace.

Late that night, Qi Jun saw a carriage going out of the back door of Prince Yue's Mansion from a distance. He did not dare to get close, so he kept his distance and followed carefully.

The carriage stopped for a moment at the city gate, then the city gate opened quickly and drove out of the city.

As time approached, Qi Jun watched the carriage walk along the Wolong River for a while and entered the dense birch forest. Afraid of being discovered, he deliberately took a detour and entered the forest from the other side.

As midnight approached, the bright moonlight fell on the forest.

The wheels drove across the ground, making a rustling sound, and then stopped. The sound of horse hooves disappeared and no one spoke.

The sound of the piccolo suddenly broke the silence, coming from the river outside the birch forest, and then Lao Mu's voice sounded, Situ Xie, if you want your granddaughter to live, bring Su Liang here!

When Qi Jun heard this, his expression condensed! Finally found Lao Mu, but it seems that tonight they have agreed to exchange hostages, but Su Liang is not here, this must be a trap!

Thinking of this, Qi Jun could no longer wait and see what happened. He rushed out of the birch forest and shouted, Senior Jin, it's me! The master is not in Yaocheng, retreat!

Before he finished speaking, a dozen black shadows jumped out from around the carriage in the birch forest, half of them chasing Qi Jun, and the other half of them rushing towards Lao Mu.

Lao Mu didn't expect to hear Qi Jun's voice suddenly, but Qi Jun's words made his expression change drastically. He cursed angrily, grabbed Situ Yao and blocked it in front of him, and drove away quickly in the boat!

There were masters chasing after him on the shore. When Lao Mu saw the fastest man in black rising from the shore and planning to board the boat, he simply threw the unconscious Situ Yao backward into the rushing river!

Sure enough, the man chose to jump in to save Situ Yao, which gave Lao Mu a chance to escape.

When the people behind caught up, the man in black had just fished Situ Yao out of the water, but Lao Mu had disappeared.

After the man in black fell into the water, his mask fell off, and it turned out to be Situ Xie himself.

And the one who caught up later was Yuan Ying. She came to pretend to be Su Liang, because although Situ Xie had set up an ambush, for the sake of safety and fear of Situ Yao getting hurt, she still planned to see the person first before talking.

However, Yuan Ying had no chance to help Situ Xie. She had already thought of someone to alert the other party when something was wrong, but she didn't expect someone to speak first. In this way, she has not revealed the secret that she does not know Su Liang and has a good relationship with him.

Yuan Ying helped Situ Xie revive Situ Yao. Apart from being a little weak, she was not injured or poisoned.

Did Gu Ling arrest you? Situ Xie asked.

Situ Yao shook his head, I didn't see my cousin... It was a tall, thin old man who caught me. I haven't seen anyone else...

Situ Xie frowned. The tall and thin old man was the old Mu that he had seen in the palace before.

Where do they live? Situ Xie asked.

Situ Yao leaned on Situ Xie and shook her head feebly, I don't know where that is...

At this time, another wave of masters chasing Qi Jun came back, but there was no gain.

Originally, my subordinates could have caught that person, but suddenly another person appeared and rescued him. The leader said in a deep voice.

Situ Xie had a cold face and hugged Situ Yao, Go back first!

At least Situ Yao was rescued tonight. But at that moment, Situ Xie was wondering whether the sudden appearance of Qi Jun shouting meant that everyone on Su Liang's side knew that she was not in Liang Kingdom or Yao City? Gu Ling didn't show up tonight, it must be because he also knew that Su Liang was not here! But Situ Jing said that Su Liang was under the control of his grandfather and could not escape! How did the people on her side know that she was not in Yaocheng? Do you just know that she is not in Yaocheng, or do you already know where she is? Or even that she had escaped?

Thinking of this, Situ Xie's face became extremely ugly. He sat in the carriage with Yuan Ying and Situ Yao and returned to Yaocheng.

Lao Bai took action in time to save Qi Jun, who was almost unable to escape, and met Lao Mu in a forest.

Why are you here, kid? The little girl is not in Yaocheng? How did you know? What's going on? Lao Mu asked eagerly.

Qi Jun quickly said that he had received a letter from the south. Although Su Liang could not come back for the time being, he was safe and not in the hands of people like Liang.

My master must have conquered the master who guarded her, and even asked that person to send a message to Kasyapa City to report that she was safe! I came here just to inform the two seniors, don't be deceived by Situ Xie!

Hearing Qi Jun's words, Old Mu held up his hands and laughed, That's it! You are indeed my disciple! Hahahaha! He let Situ Yao go, which was not a pity. He didn't want to hurt Situ Yao. Since Su Liang was no longer in Situ Xie's hands, there was no point in continuing to hold Situ Yao.

Lao Bai frowned, Where is Su Liang?

Qi Jun shook his head, I don't know where the master is. But it shouldn't be too far from Kasyapa City.

Where is Gu Ling? Lao Mu asked Qi Jun, Does he know the news?

Qi Jun was stunned for a moment, I don't know where my uncle has gone, and I don't know if he knows the news...

Seeing that Lao Bai's expression was wrong, Lao Mu quickly changed the subject, Lao Jin, do you think we should stay and kill Situ Xie, or should we go south to find our girl? He still defended Gu Ling, after all, it was his too. apprentice.

Kill Situ Xie first and then leave! Lao Bai said coldly.

Qi Jun said weakly, Seniors, please don't be impulsive. Master is trying every means to send a message to report that she is safe, just because he doesn't want anyone to get into trouble because of her.

But no one listened to Qi Jun. Lao Mu had already begun to discuss with Lao Bai how to make Situ Xie's death most beautiful.

Su Liang on the island counted the time and found that Qiu Cong had been gone for eight days. If everything goes well, it's time to arrive at Xiangyue City.

At this time, Qiu Cong, wearing a straw hat and carrying a baggage, had just walked into Xiangyue City and found a stall to eat wontons.

He ate two big bowls in a row, not because he was delicious, but because he was on the road and sleeping in the open, so he was too hungry. As for the taste, he felt it was far inferior to Su Liang's.

During the meal, Qiu Cong learned the news that the Yan Kingdom had just changed to a new crown prince. The original prince was the eldest prince with a powerful mother's family, but he was suddenly usurped by a sick and weak prince who was born as a concubine. This change surprised many people. However, there was no turmoil in the royal family because of this, and it was unusually calm.

Qiu Cong had a hunch that the changing of the throne of the Prince of Yan Kingdom was related to Gu Ling.

He paid the bill and went to the address Su Liang mentioned.

In broad daylight, the house door was closed and locked.

Qiu Cong secretly went in and found the main courtyard. There was no one inside, but he saw Gu Ling's clothes in the room.

Qiu Cong put down his baggage and went to the next room to catch up on his sleep.

In the evening, a figure fell in the courtyard like a black feather.

Seeing the ajar door, Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.

When he opened the door and saw the straw hat and long knife on the table, Qiu Cong next door also opened his eyes, but did not get up.

Gu Ling walked to the table and saw a letter pressed under the straw hat, with one corner exposed.

He picked up the letter, opened it, and his eyes shrank when he saw the familiar handwriting!

Don't fight with Old Man Qiu, I asked him to find you.

God, congratulations on becoming a father! ! !

The little god is very good, come and accompany us quickly!

The signature is, Miss you plus two water drops.

Gu Ling read the letter from beginning to end five times before finally believing that it was true! Su Liang is happy! He's going to be a father! Is the child called Xiao Shen? So weird, so cute!

In fact, Su Liang thought about not writing about her pregnancy in the letter and giving him a surprise when Gu Ling arrived, but she quickly gave up the idea. She hoped that Gu Ling would know the news soon and be happy soon.

Are you going? Qiu Cong's old voice came from the door.
