Chapter 188. 188. Get rid of that woman as soon as possible

In March, spring is already blooming in Beijing, but spring is still cold in northern Xinjiang.

Riding horses and walking in the wilderness, the wind is rustling, overlooking the distant mountains, still covered by white snow.

This was the first time that Su Liang traveled such a long distance continuously after crossing, and saw the ever-changing natural scenery of Qianguo from the middle to the north.

"Rest here, and you can go to Xuanbei City tomorrow." Ning Jing said, and led Su Liang into a valley.

Finding a leeward place, tied the horse to a tree, and Ping An walked up the mountain.

Su Liang followed with a bag, "Have you been here?"

"En." Ning Jing replied.

After walking for a while, Ning Jing turned around and saw Su Liang keeping a distance from him, squatting on the ground digging for something.

He turned back again.

"Good medicine." Su Liang happily held up a dried grass.

Ning Jing accurately reported the name of the medicinal material.He has also read all the medical books that Su Liang has read.

I don't have much practical experience in medical skills, but I have learned a lot in theory.

Su Liang put away the medicinal materials, and the two reached the halfway up the mountain. Ning Jing walked to a place overgrown with weeds, and moved two big rocks to reveal the entrance of a cave.

Su Liang was a little surprised, "Have you lived here before?"

Ning Jing nodded, signaling Su Liang to stay outside, and he leaned in.

Su Liang looked around and found that from where she was, she could see the gate of Xuanbei City.

When the sound of tranquility came from the cave, Su Liang had already gathered a pile of dry firewood for lighting a fire later.

Su Liang had to lower his head to enter the cave due to its height, but it was quite spacious after entering.

The sun had not yet set, and with the light coming in from the cave, Su Liang found that the stone wall had been artificially repaired, and it was quite smooth.

There were straw mats on the ground, which turned out to be clean.Su Liang guessed that it was left by Ping Ping when he came to use it last time, so he specially covered it with a piece of cloth.

The place where the fire was made was sunken into a circle, and the ground was black after being smoked.

Su Liang put the luggage in and carried the dry firewood in.

The sky darkened, and the temperature in the mountains dropped a lot.

Su Liang lit a bonfire, skewered the dough cakes used to make dry food with clean wood chips, and roasted them on the fire.

I bought a small iron pot on the way, and when Ning Ping fetched water, it was already hot.

He moved a wooden stake from the outside, and put a plate and two bowls on it.

Su Liang baked a piece of pie, put it on a plate, and then baked the next piece.

The cakes were all baked, Ning Jing went out for a long time and didn't come back, Su Liang was about to go out to look for it, when he came in.

She smelled the smell of raw meat, and it was a cleaned pheasant brought back by Ning Jing.

What surprised Su Liang was, "I thought you couldn't kill chickens."

Su Liang used to do this kind of thing at home.

"Occasionally." Ning Jing said, took out a knife, and cut the chicken into pieces.

Su Liang opened the bag and took out the spices inside.This was prepared by Su Liang himself, and Ning Ping specially brought it from the capital, and hadn't used it along the way.

The two first drank some water and ate half a plate of scones.

When the chicken soup released its fragrance, Su Liang sighed, "I can finally have a mouthful of hot food."

The moon in the mountain was bright and clear. Su Liang and Ning Jing were sitting on the stone at the entrance of the cave, each holding a bowl of chicken soup.

At this time, it was only six and a half days since they set off from the capital, which was faster than expected.

The body is also really tired, because the rest time is limited every day, and I can't eat or sleep well.

"I thought you were in the capital before the accident happened to the Gu family, and you lived in Huguo Temple. After the accident, you went to Sujia Village." Su Liang said, "During the years you were in Huguo Temple, you rarely saw anyone, did you secretly ran out to play?"

"Sometimes." Ning Jing said.

Two chicken legs, one for each person.

They hadn't eaten meat for a few days, so the two of them finished the meat and drank the soup.

Su Liang felt that the fatigue in his body had faded a lot.Eating meat is the last word.

"I don't know what will happen tomorrow, so sleep well tonight and recharge your batteries." Su Liang said and yawned, "Who will sleep first?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "Together."

Su Liang froze for a moment.She didn't think much of it, out of safety considerations, she felt that the two should take turns keeping vigil in the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

There is no ambiguity in peace, "you don't have to keep it."

Putting out the fire, Ning Jing asked Su Liang to lie on the mat with hay on it, it was not hard, it could be used as a pillow and covered with a coat.

Ning Jing sat leaning against the entrance of the cave and closed his eyes.

"We'll change at the third shift. Call me when you wake up." After Su Liang finished speaking, she yawned again, closed her eyes, felt drowsy, and soon fell asleep.

Ning Jing didn't even open his eyes, and remained motionless, like a sculpture.

……

Su Liang opened his eyes, it was already bright daylight.

She sat up, subconsciously looked at the seat where Ning Jing was sitting last night, and found that there was no one, she frowned slightly, and got up quickly.

When he came out of the cave, he saw a thin and tall figure coming up from the mountain, bathed in the morning sun, his ordinary appearance could not hide his cold and clean temperament.

"I'm going to feed the horses." Ning Jing said, "Clean up and let's go."

They didn't regenerate the fire. The two drank some water that had been boiled and cooled last night, restored the entrance of the cave to its original state, then descended the mountain, rode through the valley on horseback, and Xuanbei City appeared in the distance.

Liang State, which is located in the northern part of Qian State, has always been at odds with Qian State. The most recent war was three years ago. Both countries suffered heavy casualties, and the stalemate signed a truce agreement.

However, Liangguo has a cold climate, barren land, and insufficient resources. The desire to invade Qianguo has never stopped, and the northern border has not been peaceful for the past year.

However, Liangguo's several attempts were repelled by the defenders of Xuanbei City, and the two sides did not fight.On the surface, the two countries are still at peace.

Xuanbei City is the only place that must be passed through from Qianguo to Liangguo, and there are many merchants who travel between the two countries to sell goods.

Su Liang and Ning Jing pretended to be brothers who went to Liang to buy furs, showed their banknotes, "distributed" some to the city guards, entered the city smoothly, found an inconspicuous inn, and booked a A small courtyard.

Put down your luggage and go out to eat.

Ning Ning came here, and took Su Liang into a small tavern that looked simple from the outside, but was very lively inside.

The men who were drinking and bragging saw two foreigners who looked like they came, but they didn't pay much attention.There are all kinds of people here from north to south, Su Liang and Ning Jing are nothing special.

Ning Jing ordered food and wine.

While waiting for the food to be served, Su Liang listened to the people at the next table saying that the second son of General Wan's mansion took another concubine the day before yesterday.

A man lowered his voice, unable to hide his displeasure, "All the good-looking people in the city are taken by that young master Wan Er!"

When Su Liang heard this, his heart became angry, and he immediately thought of Wu Huai'an who harmed many girls in Bei'an County.

These second-generation ancestors, relying on the height of the sky and the distance of the emperor, each regarded themselves as overlords and did whatever they wanted.

"Be careful, if someone overhears it and it reaches Mr. Wan Er's ears, your life will be lost!" An old man snorted softly.

"Early in the morning, I saw the two sons of the Wan family leading troops out of the north city gate. I don't know if the bastards from the north are here to make trouble again!" A middle-aged man said.

"When they come, fight back!" A man slapped the table. "I heard that those barbarians can't get enough to eat. I think they can come here early to beg for food. Do you still want to fight with us?"

There was laughter in the tavern.

In fact, it is also true.Liangguo suffers from food shortage all the year round, and the people often starve to death without food or clothes. The natural conditions are much worse than those of Qianguo.

And this is also the main reason why Liang country will not give up its aggression against Qian country.

Su Liang heard that the useful information she got was that the Wan family and his son in Xuanbei City probably didn't know that there was a major change in the capital, otherwise Master Wan Er would not have the leisure to take concubines, it seems that today is just an ordinary day.

The food and drink are served.

The portion of the dish is very large, and the cooking is relatively rough, but it has a special flavor.

Ning Jing only poured half a glass of wine for Su Liang, she took a sip and tasted it, it was so spicy, she put it down.

Ping Ping drank two cups without changing his face, and didn't drink any more.

The two left the tavern and walked around Xuanbei City, but they didn't get close to the barracks, so they went back to the inn.

"Looking at the time, even if Wan Shan doesn't know about it now, he will soon receive news from the capital." Su Liang analyzed, "We have to act tonight."

"Well, go to bed." Ning Jing said and got up, "Go back to your own room."

Su Liang: ...

He took another nap, and when Su Liang woke up again, he felt refreshed, and the fatigue from the past few days was gone.

At nightfall, the two of them changed to a big tavern for dinner, and heard that the two masters of the Wan family who had led troops out of the city in the morning had already returned to the city in the evening.

"Liangguo's bastards are coming again. General Wan received the news early and sent two sons to lead troops out of the city, and beat them back far away!" A man said loudly.

There was a sound of praise for Wan's father and son in the restaurant, which shows that their prestige in Xuanbei City is extremely high.

"I heard that General Wan's old injury has recurred again. I really hope that a genius doctor can cure him. Our Qian Kingdom still counts on him to guard it!" Someone said sincerely.

Su Liang thought to herself, she is a doctor, but it's a pity that she can't rush to the door to treat Wan Shan.With his identity, he must be very wary of strangers appearing around him.

The two returned to the inn after dinner, and after a while, they blew out the lights, dressed in night clothes and covered their faces with black scarves, quietly left the inn, and went to the mansion of General Wan in Xuanbei City.

The General's Mansion was heavily guarded day and night. The two kept a distance, observed for a while, and sneaked in when the soldiers changed shifts.

The General's Mansion occupies a large area, but only the three courtyards next to it are lit. If there is no accident, it is the residence of the third father and son of the Wan family.

Wan Shan's wife was in the capital, and the two daughters-in-law were originally in Xuanbei City. After they became pregnant, they were sent back to the capital.It also means Duanmu Yi.

However, the father and son are not short of women to accompany them.Wan Shan and his eldest son Wan Cong each had a concubine to serve them, and the second son Wan Lin had eight concubines, who would be sent to the capital after they were conceived. Yes, there are three more around me now.

After Su Liang and Ning Jing made eye contact, they first chose a yard that didn't look like Wanshan.

Ning Jing went there first, making sure that no one would find out, and Su Liang approached again.

Su Liang hid behind a big tree, staring at Ning Jing, seeing him leaning against the back wall, waiting for him to signal.

Unexpectedly, after Ning Jing stood for a while, he returned to Su Liang's side.

"Is there no one?" Su Liang felt strange.You have to listen for a while to see if anyone is there.

"It's Wan Lin." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang frowned, "You can also listen to what he is doing."

"And his concubine." Ning Jing looked calm.

Su Liang understood instantly, "Oh, change to another one." You don't need to listen to certain things that are not suitable for children, dirty ears.

The two moved and entered another courtyard.

It's better for Ning Jing to go first, this time he listened for a long time, but didn't gesture to Su Liang, Su Liang just hid in the corner and waited patiently.

Ning Jing finally came back and said, "No one."

Su Liang: ...Okay.No one lights any lights, what a waste.

In this way, the two arrived at the third target courtyard.

One could tell at a glance that this was the main courtyard, and without exception, it was Wan Shan's residence.

Not long after Ning Jing approached, he gestured silently in the direction of Su Liang.

Su Liang approached slowly, listening to the voices coming from the room.

First came a young man, "I didn't expect the emperor to abolish the prince! Does he really want Duanmu Chen to be the prince?"

After a while, a middle-aged man replied, "Duanmu Chen? He's just a little clever. If the new crown prince is him, send him to the King of Hades as soon as possible!"

"Hey, if I had known today, it would be better to get rid of Duanmu Chen earlier. Father, I think the emperor abolished the crown prince. The next step is to let us hand over the military power!"

"Hmph! The Wan family has made great contributions to the Qian Kingdom. If the emperor is not benevolent, don't blame us for being unrighteous!"

"Father, Liangguo wanted to talk about peace several times, but we didn't report it to the court. Nothing will happen, right?"

"What are you afraid of? Who would believe that those barbarians in Liang State don't want to fight? If we make peace with them, how can we have any chance of meritorious deeds? If there is no threat to Liang State, the emperor will have more reason to take away our military power! "

"Hehe, my second brother and I led troops out of the city for a tour today, and when we report it to the imperial court, we will get credit for us! At that time, if the emperor wants to move thousands of families, the common people will not agree!"

"Why isn't the second child here?"

"Leave him alone. I just got a beauty, and I'm in ecstasy. We have to pay attention to the abolition of the prince!"

"Prince, it's true, what kind of woman can't be found, and he wants to hook up with Xiao Mulian! It's fine to do such a thing, but it hasn't been dealt with cleanly, leaving future troubles!"

"As a prince, if you want to play with any woman, you can just let him be happy. Even if it is his younger siblings, it's no big deal. The second prince can't bear it? But the champion of martial arts, Su Liang, is surprising, but it has only been more than a year. Why is she so capable? Didn't the emperor suspect that she was a secret agent?"

"For such an obvious matter, the emperor must find out that she is fine before reusing it. Now the emperor has abolished the first prince, but his attitude towards the second prince is not clear. Wait for the news, and he should know soon that the candidate for the new prince has been selected. .”

"Second prince? I don't think the emperor will make him the prince, but he will definitely take the opportunity to promote Duanmu Chen!"

Wan Cong's words fell, and the new news from the capital arrived.Contrary to his expectation, according to the news he got this time, the new crown prince is actually Duanmu Ao!

Wan Cong sneered after letting the informant back down, "It seems that the emperor is still afraid of our Wan family! After abolishing the eldest prince, the crown prince is still inseparable from the Wan family!"

Wan Shan's voice dropped, "I always feel that the emperor is confusing us, and this matter is not over yet."

"Then what are we going to do now?" Wan Cong asked.

Wan Shan snorted coldly, "It's because of that Su Liang! Immediately send a letter back to Beijing to tell the queen mother and queen to get rid of that woman as soon as possible! Otherwise, she will ruin our event sooner or later!"
