Duanmu Chen looked at Su Liang walking into the imperial study alone, and couldn't help but feel worried for her. Ever since he learned about Su Liang and Gu Ling's canonization and marriage by Emperor Liang years ago, Duanmu Yi's mood has been visibly bad.

Duanmu Chen didn't know what Su Liang was planning and couldn't help her.

At this moment, there were only three people, Duanmu Yi, Duanmu Chen, their father and son, and Su Liang. Nian Jincheng and Gu Ling were waiting outside and refused to let in.

Duanmu Yi looked at Su Liang with a serious look on his face and saluted, then stood up and said coldly, "I asked you to go to Liang Kingdom to handle important matters, but you ignored it because of Gu Ling! Give me an explanation!"

Su Liang bowed slightly, "To tell you back to the emperor, Wei Chen does want to marry Marquis Changxin, but there is another hidden reason behind Emperor Liang's grant of marriage."

Duanmu Chen couldn't help but say, "I heard that Gu Ling deceived you in order to get the thousand-year snow lotus?"

Su Liang shook his head, "No. Gu Hou does need a thousand years of snow lotus to repay the favor, but I knew this from the beginning. Emperor Liang's illness was almost cured years ago. If we don't agree to the canonization and marriage, we can only leave. Yaocheng cannot complete the important tasks assigned by the emperor."

Duanmu Chen's expression turned serious, "So, you guys agreed in advance to fake the marriage in order to delay the time to find the secret record?"

"Yes." Su Liang nodded, "Although Marquis Changxin doesn't like to interact with others, he is not the kind of person who would deceive his feelings for his own selfish purposes."

Duanmu Chen nodded, "I see. Father, it seems that we have misunderstood Su Liang and Gu Ling. They are just pretending to agree with Emperor Liang."

Duanmu Yi's face brightened a little, "Did you get the secret record?"

Duanmu Chen thought that Su Liang had better get it, otherwise no matter how many explanations he had to give, it would be meaningless.

Su Liang took out something wrapped in cloth from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is half of the secret book of organs obtained by the royal family of Liang Kingdom."

Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen's eyes lit up! Because from the beginning to the end, they got the news that Su Liang and the Liang royal family were not only in peace, but even in harmony. If she had stolen or robbed the secret records, they would not be so peaceful. Unexpectedly, she actually got it!

Su Liang stepped forward, opened the cloth bag, and placed half of the secret book in front of Duanmu Yi. What Old Man Mu gave was exactly the same as what Mu Yu gave to Situ Xie.

Duanmu Yi read it from beginning to end, but frowned, "There is not a complete drawing!"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. This is also the reason why there will be an auction of secret records in Yao City."

Then, Su Liang explained that the hidden weapon folding fan that first appeared in Yaocheng Treasure Pavilion belonged to her.

"Yours? Where did it come from?" Duanmu Yi looked surprised.

Su Liang said respectfully, "It was left by Ning Jing."

Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen were both stunned. After "Ningjing" died, Su Liang got all his inheritance.

"He bought it. I don't know where he bought it from." Su Liang said, "I originally only wore it for self-defense, but I never used it, so no one knew about it. After arriving in Liang Kingdom, I lived in the Prince of Yue's Mansion. , but couldn't find anything, I discussed with Marquis Chang Xin a plan to "snatch the snake". He used the cover of going to Yaocheng Qingjing Temple to play chess with the old monk, and secretly sold my folding fan to Zhenbao Pavilion. "

Regarding the folding fan, Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen had received the news a long time ago, but they did not expect that it was actually designed by Su Liang and Gu Ling.

The anger on Duanmu Yi's face was gone, "Is it useful?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. I asked General Peng to buy the fan and give it to me in public, and then dismantled it."

Su Liang was very kind to the Peng family, and Duanmu Yi knew this very well.

"After I took apart the fan, a craftsman named Zhao Yu appeared next to Situ Xie and said he could help me mend the fan." Su Liang said, "That person should be a descendant of the Mu family who took refuge with Situ Xie."

Duanmu Chen frowned, "Why did Situ Xie ask the descendants of the Mu family to mend that fan?"

"Originally, we just couldn't find a breakthrough, so we used the fan as bait. It wasn't until the auction later that I roughly understood what was going on." Su Liang said.

Then Su Liang told Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen that she had found out that the auction was designed by Situ Xie because he only got half of the secret book that could not be used, so he was willing to sell it for the purpose of ruthlessly Knocking Su Liang off and making Su Liang the target of public criticism.

"That Zhao Yu is very young and should not be the one who makes the decision in the Mu family. Situ Xie asked him to mend the fan, perhaps to confirm whether the fan really came from the Mu family. Another purpose of the auction is to attract the other half "The person who made the secret record." Su Liang said, "I didn't buy the secret record in public because I knew it was a scam."

"Then how did you get the secret record?" Duanmu Yi asked with a frown.

"It was Marquis Changxin who sneaked into the palace secretly and copied it. We only had the chance to get rid of the spy after we moved into Prince Ning's Mansion, which was rewarded by Emperor Liang." Su Liang said. The book Old Man Mu gave her was obviously new. There were no words on it, only pictures.

Duanmu Yi looked at the secret record and fell silent.

Duanmu Chen gave Su Liang an appreciative look. The inside story is complicated and complicated, and cannot be inferred from the information they obtained.

It was obvious that Su Liang and Gu Ling were conscientiously and diligently completing the tasks assigned by Duanmu Yi from beginning to end. As for the conferrals, marriages, princes and princesses, etc., they were all to deal with the Liang royal family and confuse Situ Han.

Even the marriage between the two was annulled for a perfect reason: Su Liang found out that he had been cheated.

In fact, it was Situ Han who was really deceived.

"If we can't get the other half of the secret record, this thing will be nothing more than waste paper." Duanmu Yi sighed.

Su Liang nodded, "It's the same for the Liang royal family. Wei Chen believes that since the Mu family has never been born, the person who decides must not want to participate in the power struggle, but there is a traitor in this generation. Next, the real Mu The master of the clan does not have to do anything, and the secret records of the Mu clan will not be really obtained. Therefore, this mission is not considered a success, but there will be nothing more to gain from the Liang Kingdom. "

"Father, I have the same view as Su Liang." Duanmu Chen said, "This half of the secret record is of no use for the time being. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. At least what Liang State has, we also have. If you take the other half, If the people in Secret Records want to find someone to cooperate with, the traitors will not choose the royal family of Liang Kingdom.”

"Yes." Duanmu Yi nodded, looking at Su Liang, his expression softened a lot, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I came up with the idea, and most of the things were done by Marquis Chang Xin. Without his help, Wei Chen would never have been able to bring the secret record back." Su Liang said.

Duanmu Chen smiled, "Su Liang, are you sorry that your marriage to Marquis Changxin was fake?" He asked this in front of Duanmu Yi on purpose...

Su Liang nodded, "To be honest, yes. The rumors outside are just to deceive Emperor Liang. In fact, Marquis Changxin has never lied to me."

"Then you haven't given up on him yet?" Duanmu Chen continued to ask.

"Of course." Su Liang looked serious, "After this time in Liang Kingdom, I like Marquis Chang Xin even more. He is just a little cold, but he is actually very reasonable and so strong!"

"Father, Su Liang and Gu Ling cooperate so well. Their marriage in Liang Kingdom is fake. How about my father granting them a marriage?" Duanmu Chen suggested seriously.

Su Liang also looked at Duanmu Yi expectantly.

Duanmu Yi's face was calm, "I really want to help you, but I can't force Gu Ling. And you have just come back, so take a good rest first. I don't want to make Mrs. Liang lose face. Let's talk about it later. You should also be careful not to come into contact with Gu Ling. Too much, after all, you threatened to break up with him in Liang Country after being deceived."

Su Liang couldn't hide his disappointment. But it was all pretending. She still insisted that she liked Gu Ling to prevent Duanmu Yi from arranging her marriage, and she didn't really want to get another marriage.

Su Liang left the imperial study and went out of the palace alone.

Nian Jincheng and Gu Ling were summoned together. Regarding the secret record, Gu Ling quietly communicated with Su Liang when they entered the palace. Nian Jincheng said that he was just a messenger, he had done nothing and knew nothing.

Duanmu Yi did not ask Gu Ling if he had changed his mind about Su Liang and fell in love with her. He only briefly asked about the business and mentioned the Millennium Snow Lotus.

Gu Ling said that he got two pieces and indeed gave them to a girl. The girl had helped him before, and he was repaying the favor.

As for the two guards who followed Nian Jincheng to Liang Kingdom and came back with Su Liang throughout the whole journey, they found nothing unusual. There was no delay at all on Nian Jincheng's journey. Su Liang and Gu Ling didn't have any intimate gestures or conflicts on their way back. They were basically on their way.

After everyone left, Duanmu Chen sighed, "Father, if anyone else had done this, they would definitely not be able to do it. Su Liang is really smart, bold and strategic, and Gu Ling's loyalty and ability are beyond doubt."

"Do you really want them to be together?" Duanmu Yi asked.

Duanmu Chen nodded, "I think they are a good match."

"I don't regard Su Liang as a woman, just because they are both too outstanding and have too much personality. If we are reunited, will you be able to sleep peacefully?" Duanmu Yi asked coldly.

Duanmu Chen's expression condensed. Duanmu Yi is afraid of Su Liang and Gu Ling? As an emperor, his ministers are too smart, too capable, and too upright in character, so he must be careful in choosing people.

Duanmu Chen knew very well that if the people in power in the royal families of certain countries had no talent or virtue, Su Liang or Gu Ling seemed to be the kind of people who would rebel for the sake of the country's stability and the welfare of the people, because their loyalty did not include the fear of imperial power... …

In short, the problem is not that Su Liang and Gu Ling are too capable, but that they are too courageous.

Such people can be used, and if used correctly, they are an excellent help. But in the meantime, stay vigilant.

In fact, Duanmu Chen has always done this. He didn't dare to make mistakes because he knew that if some mistakes were made, he would lose Su Liang as a partner.

"Father, I understand." Duanmu Chen said respectfully. He originally thought that Duanmu Yi wanted Su Liang because of Tianyu, but he thought too lightly.

After leaving the palace, Nian Jincheng asked Gu Ling how he would eat and if he wanted to stay at his house.

Gu Ling nodded, "Okay."

Nian Jincheng was stunned, "Are you really going?"

"You only asked because you knew I wouldn't go." Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Let's break up our relationship."

Nian Jincheng: ...He sincerely invited him, but he really thought that Gu Ling would not agree...

Of course, Gu Ling only wanted to live with Su Liang and could not disturb the newlyweds Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu. The two soon separated.

Nian Jincheng hurriedly returned home, thinking that he would soon see his beloved wife whom he missed so much to relieve his lovesickness. Who knew that as soon as he entered the house, he heard from the housekeeper that Yan Yu went there as soon as he heard that Su Liang had returned to Beijing. Su Mansion...

Nian Jincheng felt so sad that he immediately got on his horse and went to Su Liang's house to find a wife.

Only Gu Ling returned to Changxinhou Mansion alone. No one was waiting for him, and he couldn't go to Su Liang. The mansion was not as empty as when he left, because all the trees in the Yuewang Mansion garden that he and Situ Xie wanted had been transported and planted, but because the weather had not warmed up yet, there was not much greenery.

Su Mansion.

Su Liang knew that Old Man Mu was there, so he asked Qi Jun to reunite with Qi Yan, and sent Liandong to the Lin family to report that he was safe.

When Su Liang left the palace and returned home, Qi Jun and Liao Dong had not returned yet.

When she approached Yuanming Pavilion and saw the wine jars scattered around the lake, she knew that Old Mu must have brought back his drinking buddy.

When Su Liang entered Yuanming Pavilion, Yan Yu stood up and greeted him with a joyful expression, "You're back!"

Old Mu looked up and continued to happily eat the candied fruit snacks that Yan Yu brought for Su Liang. There was a "rag" on the ground next to him.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Liang frowned.

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you wait for your man at home? Why did you come to my place?" Su Liang pushed Yan Yu, "Go back quickly, otherwise Xiaonian will be heartbroken to death."

"He should know that I will come to you and go home with you..." Yan Yu explained. But she didn't expect that Su Liang and Nian Jincheng would not leave the palace together.

"Why are you coming to my house on such an important day? Go back quickly." Su Liang said.

Yan Yu was puzzled, "What important day?"

"A farewell is better than a wedding, so be gentle." Su Liang chuckled.

Yan Yu looked stunned, "What..." But she still listened to Su Liang and decided to go back quickly.

As a result, as soon as he left Su Mansion, he saw Nian Jincheng coming on horseback.

Yan Yu stood at the door and said with a smile, "I knew you would definitely come here."

Nian Jincheng turned sideways with a dark face, picked up Yan Yu and put him in front of him, "Go home!"

Su Liang sat opposite Old Mu and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm finally home. What do you think of my place, Master?"

"Not bad!" Old Man Mu nodded, "Where's that boy named Gu?"

Su Liang smiled, "He has returned to Changxinhou Mansion. He is alone there. Master, why don't you go and live with him?"

Old Man Mu shook his head repeatedly, "I won't go, I won't go! You girl, you promised to make delicious food for me, but you chased me away as soon as we met? How unfilial!"

Su Liang immediately reviewed, "Yes, it's my fault. Master must stay. However, where is the poison master that Master helped me find? Did he drink from those wine jars? Is he out now?"

"Right here!" Old Man Mu said.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment and looked around, but there was no one there.

Old Man Mu pointed at the pile of "rags" and said, "Old Bai, I brought them back for you! You can handle the rest by yourself!"

Su Liang walked over and smelled the smell of alcohol. He pulled open the rag and finally saw the face. He was very thin. His hair and beard were messier than that of Old Man Mu. He was also dirty. He was much shorter than Old Man Mu. .

"Master, are you sure this is a poison master?" Su Liang was a little doubtful.

Old Mu, who was eating snacks, his eyes flashed, "Of course... I'm not sure. My teacher only said to help you find Lao Bai. I don't know if Lao Bai is a poison master!"

Su Liang sighed, "Let him quit drinking first."

"Be careful, this drunkard will go crazy if he can't drink. He's scary when he's crazy, but he's not as easy to talk to as me!" Old Man Mu said.

Su Liang brought the needle bag, took out the silver needle, and gave Old Man Bai a hangover.

Old Man Mu squatted next to him holding the snack box, eating and looking at it with curiosity on his face, "Can this be useful?"

Soon, old man Bai moved, opened his eyes, and looked at Su Liang.

Old Man Mu immediately dodged, "Be careful, this drunkard will go crazy as soon as he opens his eyes!"

The next moment, old man Bai suddenly grabbed Su Liang's hand and burst into tears, "Little junior sister...little junior sister, I was wrong...don't leave...don't leave me..."

Su Liang was confused, what the hell...

Old Man Mu frowned, threw away the snack box, rushed over and kicked Old Man Bai into the corner, "Old bastard! Old pervert! How dare you take advantage of my little apprentice when your neck is buried in dirt! I really misjudged you! Little girl, he He’s not a poison master, not a bullshit master! I’ll throw him out right now!”

As he spoke, Old Man Mu leaned over, picked up Old Man Bai, carried him on his shoulders, and rushed out.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Bai suddenly struck out with his palm, hitting Old Man Mu in the back of the heart. His footsteps swayed and Old Man Bai rolled to the ground. He jumped up again and yelled angrily, "You robbed my little junior sister! You are seeking death!"

Su Liang watched in stunned silence as the two old men started fighting outside Yuanming Pavilion. In an instant, sand and rocks flew, and the wine jars by the lake turned into broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Old Man Bai has been scolding Old Man Mu for snatching his junior sister. Old Man Mu is furious and calls Old Man Bai crazy.

Qi Jun and Rendong returned home and rushed over when they heard the noise. They were relieved to see that Su Liang was fine and quickly bypassed the battlefield and came to her side.

"Master, who are these two people?" Lonicera asked with a frown.

"Two seniors." Su Liang watched the two old men fighting intently, and found that although Old Man Bai's steps were unsteady, the speed of his hands was incredibly fast. In comparison, Old Man Mu was weaker.

Qi Jun asked, "Why did they fight?"

"To rob... me?" Su Liang looked confused. Old Man Bai's junior sister, is he drunk and dazzled, or does he really look a bit like her? In short, Old Man Bai is still awake at this moment, but the combat power he can exert is already amazing. Even if he wasn't a poison master, Su Liang still wanted to learn kung fu from him.

Lonicera guessed, "Did they fight over the master who is their master?"

Su Liang shook his head, "Not really." She and Lao Bai hadn't even exchanged a formal greeting.

"What should we do now?" Qi Jun asked Su Liang if he wanted to start a fight.

"Masters are competing, so let's not get involved. The anger is too great. It's okay to use it up a little. Maybe you can wake up a little when you are tired." Su Liang was very calm.

Qi Jun suddenly laughed, "Master's friend Xing Shizi said that he cursed Gu Meiren to find out that she fell in love with the master one day, but the master rejected him severely."

Su Liang turned around and shook his head, "This is impossible. Just keep an eye on it. If something goes wrong, call me again." After saying that, he returned to Yuanming Pavilion.

Ling Dong looked strange, "Qi Jun, when the master said it was impossible, did he mean that it was impossible for Gu Meiren to fall in love with her, or that it was impossible for her to reject Gu Meiren?"

Qi Jun was stunned for a moment, "This... I don't believe it is impossible for Gu Meiren to fall in love with the master."

"I don't believe it either." Lonicera nodded.

"That means it is impossible for the master to refuse Gu Meiren." Qi Jun analyzed.

Lonicera shook his head, "How is this impossible?"

Qi Jun shrugged, "Then what do you mean when you say master said it's impossible?"

Lonicera thought about it and felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to go to Su Liang to ask for details, he saw Old Man Mu being slapped into the lake by Old Man Bai...
