Chapter 196
Su Liang came out of the General's Mansion, got on her horse neatly, and was about to set off when she suddenly thought of the words that Ning Jing told her before going out.

"Don't fall asleep in the bath."

Su Liang felt that something was wrong...

Last night, she did fall asleep while taking a bath, but how did Ning Jing know?Because she didn't respond?Then how did he manage to throw the jade pendant into the bathtub without hitting her?
Although Ning Jing has a bit of a weird temper, in Su Liang's eyes, he is definitely a gentleman and abstinent.

Su Liang felt that it was impossible for Ning Jing to peek at something while she was asleep, but maybe, what did she accidentally see?
As Su Liang rode towards the gate of the city, he was seriously recalling the scene of being awakened by that jade pendant last night.

She was behind the screen, and Ning Ning was next door, but the jade pendant could not pass through the wall, so he threw it from the door of the small study, so he had to be able to determine the location.

Su Liang thought that the screen was not enough to completely cover the inner room, and from the angle of the small study door, it seemed that one side of the tub could be seen, at most it was her arm.Originally, except for the arms, the shoulders were also soaked in the bathtub.

Thinking of this, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Tranquility did.

Even if you are sure that there is no one around and you are in your room, you really shouldn't fall asleep while taking a shower. If an assassin breaks in, you won't be able to react immediately, and the consequences will be disastrous.

After reflection, Su Liang finally came to the conclusion that unless Ning Jing is next door, she doesn't have to worry about safety issues, otherwise she must not relax enough to fall asleep in the bath.

After thinking about things, Su Liang has already arrived at Xuanbei City Street.

Returning to his senses, he looked around and found that the people were all looking at her, their eyes were full of kindness, and when they saw her looking over, they would smile and nod, and some even clasped their hands and bowed to her.

"General Su" and "Su Zhuangyuan" appear frequently among the passers-by. Su Liang hears good things in her ears. She seems to be the most famous person in Xuanbei City, and her reputation surpasses that of the general Xing Ji for a while.

Su Liang didn't get carried away by it, and even felt a little troubled.

She was passively involved in what happened last night.As a member of the Gan country and a serving general in Xuanbei City, she tried her best to do what she was supposed to do, and the result did not disappoint.

Such a great reputation is not what Su Liang pursued.

The more famous she is, the more people will pay attention to her every move in the future, and even a small matter may be magnified.Others have higher and higher expectations of her, and if she fails, she will fall down suddenly.

"Go your own way and let others say go."

Thinking of this old saying, Su Liang shook her head, feeling that she was thinking too much, she could not control other people's opinions, as long as she had a clear conscience.

Last night Xing Ji specifically told Su Liang to rest more today, Su Liang did not go to the barracks, and no one came to find her.

She rode her horse to the gate of the city, and the guards saluted her one after another, very respectful.

"General Su!"

Hearing someone calling her, Su Liang looked up, and saw Chen Yun standing on the tower and waving to her.

Before she could respond, Chen Yun had already made three steps and made two steps down.

Su Liang didn't forget to give Chen's father the injection, and agreed to do it every other day and then tomorrow.

"General Su is leaving the city?" Chen Yun came up to him.

Out of politeness, Su Liang dismounted to prevent Chen Yun from looking up at her.

"I heard that there is a Ping'an Temple outside the city. I want to pay my respects." Su Liang looked indifferent.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "The scenery there is very beautiful, and it is a non-combat zone agreed with Liangguo. People in the city often go to burn incense. I will accompany my mother there on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month. General Su will not dislike it." If so, shall I lead you the way?"

Seeing Chen Yun's sincerity, Su Liang politely refused, "General Chen is busy with business, so I won't waste your time. I heard the two ladies who just left the city said they were going to the Ping'an Temple. I will follow them."

"But General Su is alone, in case Liangguo..." Chen Yun frowned.

Speaking of right and wrong theaters, this agreement is only valid when the two countries maintain peace, and no one will move the other side's people for no reason to avoid provoking war.

But if the peace is broken, that's another story.

So going to Ping'an Temple to burn incense is inherently risky. Although it can't stop pious people from going, Su Liang is not an ordinary person, especially after she defeated Wei Hao last night.

What Chen Yun meant was that Liang Guo might not attack Su Liang.

"It's okay. In broad daylight, if someone comes to trouble me, I won't be polite. Let's go." After saying that, Su Liang got on his horse and left the city quickly.

Chen Yun sent someone to the barracks to inform Xing Ji, and he climbed up the tower again, only to see a distant figure, which disappeared from sight after a while.

"General Chen likes General Su?" the lieutenant who had the closest relationship with Chen Yun asked with a smile.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fist and punched the lieutenant general, "What nonsense are you talking about? General Su's famous flower has been found!"

The lieutenant general looked clear, "We are not married after all. If General Chen is interested, why not try to court General Su? That Xunyang tea merchant Ning's owner is just a wealthy businessman, not worthy of a talent like General Su!"

Chen Yun looked serious, "Don't talk nonsense. General Su's fiancé is the number one scholar in modern science and literature, a great talent."

"That doesn't suit General Su either. He's a weak literati, and if he encounters robbers when he goes out in the future, he has to hide behind General Su. It's inappropriate!" The deputy general still didn't give up urging Chen Yun to pursue Su Liang.

Chen Yun snorted, "My martial arts are not as good as General Su's. If I get into trouble, I have to hide behind her. Do you think it's appropriate?"

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and Chen Yun had already gone down the tower again.

……

When Xing Ji learned that Su Liang had gone out of the city, he was a little worried about her safety, so he sent Lin Bojun and a team to deliver food to the Ping'an Temple and make sure that Su Liang was okay.

After Lin Bojun took the order to leave, Qi Jiang said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, General Su is not a reckless person, she will be careful."

"I know." Xing Ji nodded, "But this kind of thing, don't be afraid of [-], just in case, it's better to be cautious."

Qi Jiang said with a smile, "Master Hou treats General Su as his daughter?"

Xing Ji sighed slightly, "I really want to have such a precious daughter, but unfortunately, even though that girl doesn't treat me as an outsider, she refuses to give me a 'title'."

Qi Jiang had followed Xing Ji for many years, and it was the first time he saw him like this, and he could hear a bit of grievance.

……

Su Liang did not follow the two old ladies. After leaving the gate of the city for a certain distance, he turned into a forest and took a path.

Not long after, I "met" Ping An who was picking mushrooms in the forest.

It's real mushroom picking.

He was holding an exquisite basket with a layer of fresh mushrooms on the bottom.

"Brother, may I ask which direction to go to Ping'an Temple?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Ping plucked a mushroom, stood up straight with the basket in hand, and pointed in a direction, "Over there."

"Brother, do you sell mushrooms?" Su Liang asked again.

Ning Jing shook his head, "I want to give it to Master Puqing of Ping'an Temple."

"Are you going to Ping'an Temple too? What a coincidence, let's go together!" Su Liang smiled.

In fact, there is no one else around, but the two of them are very involved in the drama, as if they just met and walked together along the way.

Going out from the woods, it becomes two people riding in the direction of Heian Temple.

Su Liang couldn't help but ask halfway, "Did you see me taking a shower last night?"

After a moment of silence, Ning Jing admitted, "I saw a little bit."

"My arm?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing nodded.

Su Liang thought it was so, and then changed the subject very naturally, "Who gave you your jade pendant?"

"My mother." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang took advantage of the opportunity to ask the question she had been ignoring before, "An accident happened to the Gu family, so is there anyone in your grandparent's family?"

Ning Jing nodded, "Yes, in Liang Country."

Su Liang was stunned, "Liangguo? Is your mother from Liangguo?"

"My mother was originally the princess of Liangguo, and Gu Yuan was the general of Xuanbei City for a few years, but no one dares to mention it now." Ning Jing looked indifferent.

Gu Yuan is Gu Ling's father, Marquis of Changxin who was exterminated for treason.

Maybe it's because Ning Jing is by his side, if he doesn't mention it, it's easier for Su Liang to ignore things related to the Gu family.

And Ning Jing didn't even want to call Gu Yuan a father, which shows that there is only blood relationship between father and son, and no kinship.

"So, your grandfather is from Liang Country..." Su Liang expressed surprise.

Ning Jing's thin lips parted lightly, "Uncle of Emperor Liang, King Heliancheng of Yue."

"Emperor Liang, is your... cousin?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing shook his head, "That's not important."

"So, the Duanmu royal family must kill you, because they are afraid that you will join the Liang kingdom's royal family?" Su Liang asked, "You never thought of going there?"

"My mother is dead, and I have nothing to do with them." Ning Ping looked calm.

Su Liang sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

Arriving at the foot of Ping'an Temple Mountain, some of the pilgrims who wanted to go up the mountain came from Xuanbei City in Qianguo, and some came from Nanfeng City in Liangguo. The former was a little more crowded.

When the people of the two countries met, there was no hostility, but harmony. There were even relatives living in the two cities who made a special appointment to meet at the Peace Temple today.

It is almost summer in the capital of Qianguo, and the peach blossoms in the mountains here have just bloomed.

Su Liang and Ning Jing walked up the stairs, the breeze was blowing, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and green grass, insects and birds were singing, and the scene was thriving.

Ping'an Temple is a very ancient temple. It is said that the Bodhisattva in the temple is quite effective.

The two entered the temple, and when they met the first monk, Su Liang asked if there was a Puqing master.

The monk nodded, "That's the abbot of this temple. I told you that I don't see any visitors today."

Master Pu Qing is Cheng Yun's master.At the beginning, Chengyun would go to the capital of Qianguo to deliver scriptures to his uncle in Huguo Temple, but he was left there and never came back.

Since they said they would not see any visitors, Su Liang didn't force it, and planned to wander around casually.

"Exactly, your mushrooms are saved, let's eat." Su Liang said.Roasted mushrooms are also delicious.

In the end, Ning Jing said, "I didn't plan to send it away."

Su Liang clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha Buddha" to the Bodhisattva in the main hall in front of him. He thought that if the Buddha blamed Ning Jing, don't blame her. She really wanted to give Master Pu Qing a few mushrooms...

Su Liang visited Ping'an Temple and felt that the scenery and architecture of this ancient temple are very special.Compared with the well-built Huguo Temple, which has been repaired all year round, it has more charm accumulated over time.

When he was about to leave, Su Liang asked another monk if he knew Chengyun.

The monk saw that although Su Liang was wearing men's clothing, she was clearly a girl, and was surprised, "This female benefactor, does he recognize Master Chengyun?"

Chengyun is Puqing's disciple, although he is young, no matter whether he is in Ping'an Temple or Huguo Temple, his seniority is not low.

Su Liang smiled and nodded, "I was helped by little master Chengyun."

"Master Uncle Chengyun went to the capital of Qian Kingdom, but he is not in the temple now." The monk said.

"Is he back?" Su Liang asked.

The monk shook his head, "I don't know."

Su Liang thanked him, and left Huguo Temple with Ning Jing.

After they went down the mountain and went to another mountain, Lin Bojun arrived with a team of horses to deliver food to Ping'an Temple.

Lin Bojun was surprised to learn that Su Liang was traveling with a young man and had left the Ping'an Temple.

After handing over the food to the temple, he also left without looking for Su Liang on purpose.

……

The wind is sunny and sunny, and Su Liang feels as if he has returned to Sujia Village when he ascends the heights and looks far away.

She lit the fire, waited for a while, and Ning Jing, who had left halfway up the mountain, came back with a slaughtered and cleaned pheasant and cleaned mushrooms.

"Where's the hare?" Su Liang asked.

"Next time." Ning Jing said.The pheasant caught today is not small, and if you add a rabbit, you can't finish it.

The two of them grilled pheasant and mushrooms around the fire, and the air was soon filled with a tempting aroma.

After it’s baked, share it between two people. The special pheasant with mushrooms is very delicious.

After eating, put out the fire, Su Liang lay on the soft grass, pillowed on his arm, looked at the birds flying in the sky, and sighed, "I have no hope of flying to the sky again in this life."

Ning Jing lay down not far away, "Haven't you thought about building an airplane?"

Su Liang chuckled, "I won't, and there are no conditions here."

"Will you go back to the original place one day?" Ning Jing asked.

The corners of Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "That's a good thing. When I go back, I'll write a novel, and the hero is you."

"Where's the heroine?" Ning Jing asked.

"Of course it's me. Just write the story of me meeting you as a great god after time travel, and becoming brothers and going out into the world." Su Liang was in high spirits, "It must be very exciting!"

"Didn't you say that people over there like to read love stories?" Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang shook her head, "As long as it's a good story, it doesn't matter if there's love or not."

"I want to go too." Ning Jing said.

"Where do you want to go?" Su Liang froze for a moment.

"Go to your place and have a look." Ning Jing said, "Take a plane and fly to the sky."

Su Liang nodded, "It's worth a try. But unfortunately, I probably won't be able to go back, and neither can you."

……

When Su Liang returned to the city, it was noon and he was still alone.

After entering the general's mansion, the guard said that Xing Ji is here and waiting for her in the garden.

"When did General Xing come?" Su Liang asked.

The guard replied, "It's been an hour."

Su Liang handed over the horse to the guards and went straight to the garden.

Xing Ji sat alone in the pavilion, holding a book in his hand, turned a page, looked up and saw Su Liang striding over.

"Uncle Xing looking for me?" Su Liang entered the pavilion and sat down opposite Xing Ji.

Xing Ji closed the book and said seriously, "Who is the person walking with you today?"

Su Liang froze for a moment, "A man I met on the road."

Xing Ji sighed deeply, "Of course I believe in you, and I don't want to interfere with you, but now many people are watching your every move. If you do this, people will be suspicious."

Su Liang quickly realized, "Someone would think that I was a secret agent, and went out of the city to connect with that person?"

Xing Ji asked back, "What do you think?"

Su Liang nodded, "I think this suspicion is quite reasonable."

Xing Ji raised his forehead, "You girl... don't blame me for being supercilious, I didn't think much about you refusing to recognize me as foster father, but now I feel that you may be hiding some great secret."

Su Liang nodded again, "It's reasonable for Uncle Xing to think so."

Xing Ji was speechless, "Then can you explain what's going on in today's encounter?"

"Actually," Su Liang's voice paused, "it was the person Ning Jing hired to secretly protect me."

Xing Ji was stunned, "Is there a hidden guard by your side?"

"Probably." Su Liang nodded.

"Then why do you bother to meet outside the city?" Xing Ji felt a little strange.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "The temper of the master is very unusual, he insists on picking mushrooms today, I have to respect him."

"Can I meet the master you mentioned?" Xing Ji asked seriously.

Su Liang shook his head, "I'm afraid he won't be happy."

Xing Ji got up and left, "Forget it, as long as you are happy. Be careful in the future."

"Uncle Xing, go slowly." Su Liang said.

Xing Ji came out of the pavilion, and turned back, "I think it's better to submit the paper as soon as possible, so that the emperor will allow you and Bo Jun to return to Beijing to get married!"

Su Liang chuckled, "It sounds like I'm going to marry Brother Lin."

Xing Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There's really nothing I can do about you. I'm going out of the city next time, find me, or find Bo Jun to go with me, and don't run into people of unknown origin again, remember?"

Su Liang nodded obediently, "I remember."
