When Su Liang and Gu Ling arrived at Xiaoyue City in the northernmost part of Yan Kingdom, they secretly inspected the city's defense arrangements.

Then, they rushed back to Kasyapa City early one morning at the end of March.

However, the two did not return to the Lin family. Instead, they pretended to be businessmen from the northern part of the Qian Kingdom and purchased a small house to stay. The purpose was to secretly investigate the previous arrest of the Lin family and confirm whether there was a traitor in their side.

If there is a traitor, once they show up, they will hide even deeper.

As for the money, Su Liang has a jade token in his hand, which can be used to withdraw silver notes from any bank in the city. Since she was nominally the head of the Ning family, in order to avoid being discovered, the sign she used to withdraw money when she went out belonged to the Li family, the largest porcelain merchant in the Qian Kingdom, and the money she used was also the Li family's money.

In fact, the Li family has been jointly controlled by the Wan Ningyan family in the past two years. The original head of the family was Zheng'er's biological father, Li San, who fell to his death after getting drunk. Now the person in charge is still named Li, but he is the unknown godson of the Wan family head.

From the very beginning, the head of the Wan family had said that the purpose of retaliating against the Li family was to vent Wan Hui's anger so that Zheng'er would no longer be harassed, but the Li family's property would be given to Su Liang to repay her for saving Zheng'er and causing trouble in the Li family. Prevent them from robbing your child's favor when they come to your door.

However, Su Liang didn't care about how the Wan family dealt with the Li family, and he didn't have the energy to take care of business matters. He just accepted the jade token from Wan Hui for convenience.

The money she and Gu Ling actually spent from the Ning family or the Li family was just a drop in the bucket. Apart from their love of buying a house and hoping to have a private space outside without being disturbed, they have no other hobbies of spending money.

Together we cleaned up the small house we bought. There was a well, a millstone, a green citrus tree and a gorgeous red kapok in the yard.

"Master, do you know what the flower language of kapok is?" Su Liangxiao asked.

Gu Ling, who was fetching water, shook his head and said he didn't understand this.

"It's about cherishing the people in front of you." Su Liang said, breaking off a branch and walking to Gu Ling with it.

Gu Ling took off the bucket, stood on the stone platform of the well, leaned over and kissed Su Liang, and said, "People are more beautiful than flowers."

Su Liang: ...The master's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.

The two of them cooked lunch together, and in the afternoon Gu Ling hugged Su Liang and went to sleep. Naturally, she couldn't help but have some fun and relaxation.

After all, the two of them had traveled all day and night without getting a good rest, and it was not suitable to follow and monitor others in broad daylight. Su Liang said she was tired, and Gu Ling said exercise helped her sleep and relieve fatigue...

When Su Liang woke up, it was already dark.

Just when most of the people in Kasyapa City were about to fall asleep, Su Liang and Gu Ling got up to take a shower, pack their meals, and prepare to start work.

The first object of suspicion was Lin Shan's fiancé, Yuan Ye's grandson Yuan Pei.

At this time, Su Liang and Gu Ling still didn't know that Lin Shan had terminated their engagement with Yuan Pei not long after they left last time.

In the dead of night, Gu Ling and Su Liang went out and secretly went to the general's mansion in Kasyapa City.

The Lin family used to live here. After Lin's grandfather passed away, the Lin family moved away. The Yuan family's grandparents and grandchildren lived here for many years, and now only Yuan Pei himself is left. And he was not a military general. After burying Yuan Ye, he wanted to move out, but Lin Wei stopped him and said that the emperor had not yet decided who would take Yuan Ye's place as General Zhennan, so he didn't have to move out in a hurry for the time being.

The lights were on in Yuan Ye's study, and a figure walking around was reflected in the window. It was Yuan Pei.

Gu Ling and Su Liang waited for a quarter of an hour. The door opened, and Yuan Pei took a wine pot and two cups and went to the garden.

He sat alone in the pavilion, filled two glasses with wine, placed one in front of him and the other opposite.

"Grandpa, don't worry about me. Ah Ji is always afraid that I will be unhappy. In fact, I am doing well. I have made a new friend named Nian Jincheng. He invited me to the capital as a guest. I really want to go out for a walk and see Look at the outside world." Yuan Pei said, picked up the wine glass, touched it to the other side, and drank it in one gulp.

After only one drink, he stopped drinking, and no one else showed up. Yuan Pei sat alone until late at night, spilled the glass of wine poured for Yuan Ye on the ground, and went back.

"It shouldn't be him." Su Liang said. Yuan Pei's sadness because of Yuan Ye's death was not fake. If it was disguised, it might be more exposed, with a show of crying and so on.

Besides, Yuan Pei was a scholar and did not serve in the military. The royal family of the Liang Kingdom chose him as a craftsman, but he was of little use.

Therefore, when leaving the General's Mansion, Su Liang felt that it was unlikely that it was the Lin family.

"Lin Wei only entered the army in the past two years, and he was in the north before. He cannot be a craftsman, and it is even less possible for other members of the Lin family." Su Liang said, "I think we should directly investigate the current generals in Kasyapa City. "

Gu Ling nodded, "Chen Yun, who took the initiative to apply for transfer here at the end of last year, is the most suspect."

Su Liang was stunned, "Chen Yun? He... can't, right?"

The two were considered friends, and Su Liang still remembered the first time he met Chen Yun in Xuanbei City. Moreover, Chen Yun was born and raised in Xuanbeicheng. He was filial to his parents and caring about his family. He had been searching for his missing brother for many years.

"Don't make preconceptions." Gu Ling did not regard Chen Yun as a friend. They were not familiar with each other, so he could view him more objectively at the moment.

"He was seriously injured." Su Liang frowned.

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent and he said, "The bitter plan is just trying to hide it."

"He and Lin Wei are best friends." Su Liang said.

"So the Lin family all came back alive. Lin Shan was only injured and not killed." Gu Ling said.

"You saw the black mist between his eyebrows, which means that if I don't save him, he will really die." Su Liang never doubted that this was also the reason for Chen Yun. Gu Ling's special ability cannot be fake. If Chen Yun had the antidote in his hand and Su Liang could survive without saving him, Gu Ling would not see the black mist at all.

Gu Ling shook his head, "Maybe that means he wanted to kill someone, which happened to be at the same time as his serious injury."

"Is it a coincidence? But it is indeed possible." Su Liang frowned, "He always looks bitter and hateful. Many of his actions show that he is a good person. But then again, good people and fine work are not opposites in the first place. . In case he has any reason to be controlled..."

"His brother." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang's eyes narrowed. They were only discussing the possibility that Chen Yun was Xizuo, not confirming that he was, but now it seems that they cannot rule out that he is not.

In fact, the friendship between Su Liang and Chen Yun is far less close than that between her and Lin Wei. She understands Lin Wei's character, but it's hard to say she understands Chen Yun. At first I thought he was outgoing, but later I found out that he was preoccupied.

In this case, after the two people left the general's mansion, they secretly went to Chen's house.

But everyone in Chen's house was asleep, and the lights in Chen Yun's room were not lit. Su Liang and Gu Ling waited for a quarter of an hour before leaving.

The next day, it was almost noon when the two got up.

In the afternoon, the two went out together and wanted to take a walk outside. Su Liang disguised herself as a man, and Gu Ling pretended to be her attendant.

After walking around the street, the two entered the teahouse and asked for a private room facing the street. While drinking tea, they watched the people passing by on the street below.

"If Liang Guo has already deployed, Xizuo is more likely to be the original military commander in Kasyapa City. To say that he captured Chen Yun's younger brother many years ago and then secretly trained him is a bit high cost, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will be able to rely on Are you showing off your strength?" Su Liang was analyzing.

Gu Ling shook his head, "Maybe there's more than one."

"You mean, Chen Yun is Xizuo, and there is still Xizao among the original generals of Kasyapa City?" Su Liang rubbed his forehead, "It's all possible. Shouldn't we exclude Lin Yun? What if..."

Gu Ling suddenly pulled Su Liang's sleeve and motioned her to look down.

Su Liang looked in the direction of Gu Ling's gaze, a little surprised, "Chen Yun and Lin Shan? Did Lin Shan just pull Chen Yun's arm?"

"You read that right." Gu Ling said.

"What's going on?" Su Liang was confused, "Didn't Lin Shan have a baby kiss with Yuan Pei? How come she went shopping alone with Chen Yun, and they had physical contact, and they seemed very intimate."

"I'm going out for a while." Gu Ling stood up and walked out.

Su Liang watched Chen Yun and Lin Shan walking downstairs. Not long after, Gu Ling came back and brought back a piece of news: Lin Shan had broken off her engagement with Yuan Pei and was engaged to Chen Yun again.

"I can understand that a baby's relatives are unreliable, and you can't force yourself to be with someone you don't like, but... Chen Yun had a fiancé when she met Lin Shan. With his character, he should keep a distance from Lin Shan. There is no possibility of liking him. It's possible to go to Lin Shan." Su Liang said, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Something's wrong."

The two of them looked at the direction Chen Yun and Lin Shan were leaving, and followed them from a distance after paying.

Nothing was found during the day. After Chen Yun took Lin Shan to swim in the lake, he sent her home and then went to the military camp.

It wasn't until nightfall that Chen Yun left the military camp and went home.

Gu Ling and Su Liang, however, didn't even bother with dinner and followed him closely, watching his every move. No abnormalities were found for the time being, but something that really made Su Liang suspect that something was wrong with Chen Yun had emerged, that is, he had robbed Yuan Pei's fiancée.

According to Chen Yun's always shown character of being filial, kind, sensible, upright and adhering to propriety, this kind of thing should not happen to him.

Although it is difficult to talk about emotional matters, as an adult and serious man, it is the most basic rationality to keep a distance from a good friend's sister who is already engaged and not to get entangled.

Late at night.

When Chen Yun returned home, the rest of the family had already had dinner. He ate the food left for him alone and then went into the study. Today, he didn't even see Chen Yun's father or mother.

Before Chen Xiao's return, the superficial harmony between Chen Yun and Chen's father and mother had been difficult to maintain. After his return, it completely disappeared.

Su Liang and Gu Ling stood against the back wall of Chen Yun's study, breathing very lightly and waiting patiently.

After waiting for half an hour, Su Liang felt that his legs were numb and he did not move.

Finally, there was movement.

They heard Chen Xiao calling "brother", heard the door opening and closing, and then heard "Young Master" again.

Su Liang and Gu Ling looked at each other. Chen Xiao calls Chen Yun "gongzi". These two words can already explain a lot of things. Chen Yun has a problem, and Chen Xiao is on the same side with him!

In the room, Chen Xiao sat opposite Chen Yun as usual, "I know the young master is annoying me, and he hasn't bothered me for several days. Master asked me to ask tonight, and Gu Ling and Su Liang haven't come back yet. Do you have a plan to get rid of them? This is not an easy matter. You have to prepare in advance. For example, we need to take down Gu Ling's best friend Nian Jincheng first. What do you think?"

When Gu Ling and Su Liang heard this, their eyes turned cold.

Su Liang felt angry in his heart. Because she once really regarded Chen Yun as a friend, and she sincerely used the Ning family's business connections to help him find his lost brother. Even Hu Er, whom she met in Sujia Village, had been running for this for a long time! When Gu Ling thought that if there was a trick among the generals of Kasyapa City, Chen Yun would be the first to suspect him, Su Liang still subconsciously defended him. In the end, searching for a younger brother for many years was a complete scam!

At this moment, Chen Yun and his good brother who had been lost and found were discussing a plan to get rid of Su Liang and Gu Ling.

Su Liang felt that Chen Yun's acting skills were comparable to that pervert Nangong Lin!

Soon, a hesitant voice came from the room, "I don't have any plans."

"Is the young master unwilling to do that? Or is he just reluctant to let go of Su Liang? My master has said that Su Liang does not have to die. If he catches her and clears his memory, the young master can get her. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" Chen Xiao's voice said With a bit of a smile.

Su Liang: ...This technique is exactly the same as what Nangong Lin used on Gu Ling!

At this moment, the two people inside were already dead in Gu Ling's place...

Su Liang heard Chen Yun say "get out". The next moment, Gu Ling's footsteps just moved when a black shadow appeared not far away, stabbing Su Liang with a sword like a ghost!

For a moment, Su Liang remembered the night she was held hostage in Xiangyue City, how similar it was. The sword used by the visitor was not unfamiliar to her, it was Nangong Lin's master!

There was no time to think about why this person appeared in Chen Yun's house, Gu Ling hugged Su Liang and flew up. He couldn't let Su Liang leave alone. Nangong Lin might be nearby, and it would be dangerous to stay and fight.

Chen Yun and Chen Xiao in the room changed their expressions when they heard the movement behind them. As soon as he got up and went out, he saw a man standing in the courtyard.

"Master?" Chen Yun frowned.

Chen Xiao was stunned, "Young Master's master..."

Nangong Lin glanced at Chen Xiao coldly, and Chen Xiao felt that the look in his eyes was like a poisonous snake, which made him shudder.

"Gu Ling and Su Liang have listened to what you just said." Nangong Lin looked at Chen Yun and said, "If you stay any longer, they will definitely kill you. Follow me as my master!"

Chen Yun looked at Nangong Lin in disbelief, "Su Liang...she's back?"

"Stop talking and leave quickly!" Nangong Lin said coldly.

Chen Xiao subconsciously pulled Chen Yun, "Where are you going, Master? What should we do?"

Nangong Lin took a step forward, knocked Chen Xiao away with a palm, and grabbed Chen Yun's arm, "I told you to stop caring about this family! Now it's not up to you!"

After saying this, Nangong Lin took Chen Yun with him, and several Teng Yue disappeared.

Chen Xiao, who was vomiting blood and fell to the ground, looked at the direction they left, beat the ground with his palms bitterly, got up quickly, and stumbled out to find Shiyun to discuss countermeasures.

Gu Ling and Su Liang walked around the city twice before finally getting rid of the ghostly old man. However, they did not go back to their small house. Instead, they went to Lin's house to wake up Nian Jincheng and Lin Wei.

"Gu Xiaoling? Are you back?" Lin Wei rubbed his eyes, overjoyed.

"Chen Yun is probably Liang Guo's mastermind. We discovered him tonight. He has extremely powerful masters around him. Call your family together immediately to avoid anything happening." Su Liang said quickly.

Lin Wei doubted his ears, "Who? Chen Yun? Xi Zuo? Impossible! How could he be..."

Gu Ling pulled Lin Wei up from the bed and slapped him, "Sober up! Do you believe me or him?"

Lin Wei put on his shoes, socks and coat with a strange expression, rubbed Gu Ling's face with his good hand to confirm that he was not fake, and then hurried out.

Late at night, Yuan Pei was woken up by Nian Jincheng and came to Lin's house without knowing what happened.

In the process, Su Liang and Gu Ling thought about their suspicion that Nangong Qian was Nangong Lin's biological daughter when they were in the Yan Kingdom, and not the child Situ Xiang was conceived when he disappeared.

Tonight, Situ Xiang's father suddenly appeared. He was not following Su Liang and Gu Ling there. He took action to protect Chen Yun, just like when he took Gu Ling back for Nangong Qian.

In addition, Chen Xiao called Chen Yun son behind his back, which showed that Chen Yun was not the son of the Chen family at all. In addition, he had always kept a big beard at a young age and refused to shave it off, which gave Su Liang a bold guess. : I’m afraid that Chen Yun is the child that Situ Xiang was pregnant with back then, and he is of the right age. If so, he is the grandson of the old man and the biological grandson of Situ Xie. Therefore, he is not only a craftsman of the Liang Kingdom, but also not an ordinary craftsman. At the same time, he is also protected by Nangong Lin and his gang!

Everyone in the Lin family knew that something had happened, but they didn't know what was going on. Especially Lin Shan, who even asked Lin Qin if anyone would notify the Chen family.

Lin Wei's face was ugly. After giving Lin Shan a perfunctory sentence, he dragged Gu Ling outside to talk alone.

"What's going on? Chen Yun is just a craftsman, are you sure?" Lin Wei and Chen Yun have been friends for a long time, and he can't understand the current situation at all.

Gu Ling nodded, "sure. Su Liang and I heard with our own ears that their brothers were plotting to get rid of us."

Lin Yi's face froze, "What the hell is going on?"

Gu Ling looked to the north, "It's possible that he is the prince of Liang Kingdom."
