“Little girl, it’s not a good idea to follow that guy.” Peng Wei said, his expression serious.

Su Liang was stunned, “What’s wrong with him?”

“He’s Ning Jing’s friend, but he wants to abduct you. There’s something wrong with his character.” Peng Wei said.

Su Liang: … What nonsense did Ning Jing tell this old man?

Su Liang tried to ease the situation by saying she was not interested in that person.

“That’s good. Even if you don’t want Ning Jing, you can consider my grandson.” Peng Wei took the opportunity to start “promoting” his precious grandson.

Su Liang chuckled, “If that day comes, I’ll consider it.”

“It seems like you really like that Ning kid!” Peng Wei sighed.

Su Liang: … Let him think that way then.

She had already had dinner and returned to chat with Peng Wei.

Originally, she wanted Ning Jing to leave Ping’an Temple, go back to Xuanbei City, and inform Xing Ji and Lin Bojun to be on alert for people from Liang Country suddenly attacking.

But Ning Jing didn’t leave, saying that the most important thing tonight was to protect Peng Wei from any possible assassins.

Su Liang thought so too. Staying here alone, while also protecting the seriously injured Peng Wei, would be too risky.

Considering Xuanbei City’s defenses had always been good and Peng Wei was still alive, Wei Yao probably wouldn’t start a war for now. Su Liang decided to wait until daylight to talk about going back to the city.

After checking Peng Wei’s pulse again, Su Liang told him to rest well and recuperate for a while with proper medication.

“I’ll go to Master Pu Qing later and make some medicine for you. Once it’s ready, I’ll call you.” Su Liang said.

“Little girl, I really can’t thank you enough for this.” Peng Wei said, visibly moved, “I have one more request and I hope you’ll agree to it.”

Su Liang readily nodded, “Let me hear it.

Peng Wei sighed deeply, “It’s about my son, Peng Qian. He survived the accident years ago, but his health has never been good, and it’s even worse recently. Initially, when I heard that Su Yuanzhou’s granddaughter was not only the Martial Arts Champion but also had excellent Medical Skills, I thought it was an exaggeration. It was only after meeting you that I realized I underestimated you!”

“Elder Peng, do you want me to treat your son?” Su Liang asked.

Peng Wei nodded, ‘Yes! I went to many famous doctors, but there is no improvement.”

“Medical, with no end to learning. No one can say they can cure every disease. And I don’t know any details about your son’s health,” Su Liang said seriously, “but I promise to try, if I see him in the future.”

Peng Wei’s face lit up with joy, “That’s great!”

Su Liang thought the conversation would end here.

Who knew Peng Wei would immediately follow up with, “Little girl, why don’t you go to Liang Country with me?”

Su Liang frowned, “That’s too dangerous for me.”

If people like Wei Yao caught Su Liang and threatened Xing Ji, anything could happen.

Peng Wei quickly said, “As long as I’m alive, I’ll protect you!”

Su Liang glanced at the frail Peng Wei, “Old sir, I believe what you said, but it seems you’re currently struggling to protect yourself.”

“Don’t misunderstand, I’m not just doing it for my son.” Peng Wei explained, “I also want to prevent the two countries from rekindling war, which would only play into Yin Country’s scheme.”

Su Liang pondered this thought.

Peng Wei continued, “If I don’t go back tomorrow, Liang Country’s army will quickly be led astray by Wei Yao. If I return, but I’m bedridden from my serious injuries, Wei Yao could shut me away or even kill me. I need to be alive, stand up, and appear before people to stop Wei Yao’s plan!”

Su Liang looked puzzled, “So, old sir, you want me to protect you?”

“This young lady is really smart!” Peng Wei nodded, “I’ve always been straightforward. As long as you help me get rid of Wei Yao this time and reclaim military power, I’ll do my best to avoid a war between Liang Country and Qian Country for the rest of my life! Your Qian Country doesn’t want to go to war either, right?”

“The purpose of war is also peace,” Su Liang sighed softly.

Peng Wei’s face changed, “It’s rare for someone as young as you to have such insight!”

“I’ll consider Elder Peng’s proposal and give you an answer before dawn,” Su Liang said as she stood up. “Rest for now.”

After hearing the door close, Peng Wei breathed a long sigh of relief.

Su Liang told Ning Jing about Peng Wei’s request.

“All right,” Ning Jing nodded.

Su Liang raised her eyebrows, “So readily? Are you going with me?” “What do you think?” Ning Jing replied coldly.

Su Liang coughed lightly, “Yes, great god, I need your protection when venturing into danger. Please do not refuse.”

Ning Jing looked at Su Liang, and her thin lips opened slightly, “You’re the old one.”

Su Liang laughed softly, “So the great god also has an idol burden and doesn’t like being called old? I was just showing respect.”

“Enough with the nonsense,” Ning Jing said indifferently.

Su Liang quickly replied, “I have to ask Uncle Xing for permission. I am under his command and cannot act recklessly.” “You go tell him,” Ning Jing said. Su Liang was stunned, “Now?”

“Before dawn,” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang asked subconsciously, “Do I go alone?”

“Only if you don’t want me to accompany you, and then we can collect Peng Wei’s corpse together,” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang felt a bit embarrassed, “Then let’s do that.” She still relied on Ning Jing, and it had become a habit. This habit was very bad and needed to be changed.

“Actually, I think Master Pu Qing might be a master,” Su Liang said, “Cheng

Yun’s martial arts skills are quite good.”

“It was taught by his master,” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang was surprised, “How do you know?” She had never heard of it.

“Cheng Yun told me,” Ning Jing said. “I thought he was closer to me,” Su Liang said.

Having said that, Su Liang was about to leave.

Her medicinal materials were not complete, so she had planned to ask Master Pu Qing for available medicine before giving the medicine to Peng Wei.

Now that they were going back to the city, it was no longer a problem.

“If you encounter someone, just avoid them,” Ning Jing told Su Liang.

Su Liang waved her hand, “I know, I’ll leave it to you to handle. Go ahead, be careful.”

As the words fell, a gust of wind blew, and Su Liang disappeared at the door.

Ning Jing picked up the leftover chicken bones on the table, wrapped them in oil paper, and planned to take them away when she left the next day.

Although she was more casual with Su Liang, leaving the chicken bones would be too provocative.

After tidying up, Ning Jing didn’t go to interrogate the two traitors because it was unnecessary. Many things Peng Wei already knew in his heart, and those two people wouldn’t dare admit anything to save their lives.

Taking off her outer clothes, Ning Jing lay down on the small bed prepared by Su Liang.

The bed was a bit short, her feet dangling in the air. She covered herself with a quilt and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.

Su Liang took the small road down the mountain, keeping an eye out, but she didn’t encounter anyone.

By the time Su Liang returned to Xuanbei City, it was after midnight.

As she was alone and wanted to enter the heavily guarded military camp, she felt it was risky. To avoid causing unnecessary chaos, she returned to the general’s mansion first, removed her disguise, changed her clothes, and went to find Xing Ji.

The guards at the General Mansion didn’t know when Su Liang had left. They thought she had been at home the whole time. Although they didn’t understand her sudden decision to go to the military camp in the middle of the night, they didn’t dare to ask too much. Two guards volunteered to accompany Su Liang to the camp.

Su Liang agreed, and they quickly arrived at the nearby military camp. As soon as she announced that she had important matters to discuss with Xing Ji, she was let in without any obstacles.

Xing Ji had already fallen asleep, and Su Liang met Qi Jiang first.

When Qi Jiang woke up Xing Ji, he acted as if the enemy was approaching, thinking that Liang Country had attacked.

“It’s not Liang Country attacking, it’s Miss Liang coming!” Qi Jiang said, “There must be something important.”

Xing Ji’s expression became serious, and he immediately got out of bed.

Everyone else left the room, leaving only Su Liang and Xing Ji.

“Where did you go today? What happened? Are you alright?” Xing Ji looked at Su Liang, checking if she was injured subconsciously.

Su Liang shook his head, “I’m fine. But indeed, a big incident happened.”

Then, Su Liang told Xing Ji about the attempted assassination of Peng Wei by a trusted confidant on the way to Ping’an Temple.

Upon hearing this, Xing Ji’s expression changed, “Who did it?”

“I suspect it was Wei Yao. General Peng also thinks it was his son-in-law trying to eliminate a threat, and at the same time, use his death to provoke Qian Country and reignite the war,” Su Liang said.

“You happened to save General Peng,” Xing Ji suddenly felt puzzled, “You left a

note and went to Ping’an Temple today?”

Su Liang nodded and explained, “There is a little monk named Cheng Yun in Huguo Temple who is my friend. He is the junior disciple of Master Pu Qing from Ping’an Temple. Yesterday, I went to Ping’an Temple to visit Master Pu Qing, but unfortunately, I didn’t see him, so I went again today.”

Xing Ji was stunned, “Cheng Yun? Yu Sheng mentioned that you are friends with a very beautiful little monk from Huguo Temple.”

“We had saved the young master of the Wan Family together, who was kidnapped by the Li Family, one of the top four businesses. He’s the same Zhengzheng who is often with us,” Su Liang said.

It was a lot of information to process.

But Xing Ji quickly understood, “I see. So Cheng Yun asked you to bring a letter or an item to his master? Next time, you should clarify such things, or else we will be worried about you.”

Su Liang immediately nodded, “Okay.”

Then the two continued to discuss the matter of Wei Yao and Peng Wei.

After learning the full story and finding out that Wei Yao had secretly colluded with Yin Country with plans to kill Peng Wei and frame Qian Country, Xing Ji’s face darkened, “Like father like son indeed!”

Back then, when Xing Ji had captured Wei Teng, it was also due to Liang Country, under the influence of Yin Country, launching an unprovoked attack on Qian Country.

At that time, the commanding general of the Northern Borderlands of Qian Country was the rebel general Gai Yun, who had been captured and executed for smuggling iron mines. Behind Gai Yun was the Nanping Prince, who had secretly collaborated with the royal family of Yin Country for many years. During that battle, Gai Yun fell ill, which led to Qian Country’s continuous defeats.

Looking back after the truth had been revealed in the iron mine smuggling case, it was clear that Gai Yun had been harboring ulterior motives.

After that incident, Wei Teng was stripped of his position because he had secretly colluded with Qian Country and waged war on his own initiative without the approval of the Liang Country royal family.

Wei Yao’s chance to rise to power after his father’s downfall was completely due to his father-in-law Peng Wei.

“So that’s the situation,” Su Liang snorted, “Poor old Peng Wei. If he hadn’t survived today, Wei Yao would have annihilated his entire family.” Such wild ambitions.

“Now that you are back, what about Peng Wei…?” Xing Ji asked.

“Oh, he is being protected by that big brother who likes to pick mushrooms,” Su Liang said.

Xing Ji’s mouth twitched slightly, “One day, you must introduce me to this master.”

“I’ll have to ask him first,” Su Liang said.

Xing Ji let out a deep sigh, “But Peng Wei can’t stay in Ping’an Temple for too long without returning. If he goes back, he will not escape Wei Yao’s clutches given the current situation.”

Su Liang mentioned Peng Wei’s request for her to return to Liang Country with him.

Xing Ji frowned, “Absolutely not!”

Without Xing Ji’s earnest persuasion, Su Liang nodded, “I understand that it’s very dangerous. But I did plan to go there once to deal with Wei Yao, otherwise, there will be no peace in the North. However, on my way back, I thought of another solution.”

“What is it?” Xing Ji asked.

“Let Peng Wei pay me to assassinate Wei Yao,” Su Liang said seriously, “As long as Wei Yao dies, Peng Wei can stabilize the Liang Country army, and many problems will be solved.”

Xing Ji nodded, “It is a solution to have Wei Yao killed. But hire you? No matter how much money he offers, I will not allow you to take the risk!”

“It’s just a figure of speech. I don’t lack money, but he should offer any treasures like the Luoying Sword in exchange, right? After all, I saved him, and he still hopes for me to save his son,” Su Liang said.

Xing Ji rubbed his forehead, “Those are just worldly possessions, not worth you taking the risk!”

“Why would Uncle Xing choose to go on a lone mission into enemy territory back then?” Su Liang retorted.

Xing Ji gave a wry smile, “Fine, fine, fine, I admit it, I was reckless in my youth, alright?”

Xing Ji was not without attachments, as he still had his mother at home.

But at that time, he thought that if Qian Country fell, there would be no more home for him. So, he charged forward in a burst of passion.

“Why not have Uncle Xing go? You have experience capturing his father, ” Su Liang suggested.

Xing Ji sighed, “Given my current status, it would be very irresponsible to do such a thing rashly.”

If caught by people from Liang Country, it would be disastrous.

“Just a joke.” Su Liang said, “Uncle Xing, don’t be nervous. Let my big brother go to Liang Country’s military camp to pick mushrooms! He’s very good!” “Who is he?” Xing Ji asked curiously.

“A friend of Ning Jing from the jianghu.” Su Liang said. Ning Jing was Ning Jing’s friend, as he had told Peng Wei himself.

“You’d better think it over.” Xing Ji said solemnly, “Although Wei Yao wants to kill Peng Wei, Peng Wei may not forget his daughter and grandson, and may want to spare Wei Yao’s life.”

Su Liang thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think it’s possible. If my daughter gets involved with such scum who wants to destroy my whole family, I will chop him up and let my daughter get out of her misery sooner or later.

And Peng Wei knows that there is a woman spy from the Yin Country by Wei

Yao’s side, and he is infatuated with her. It can be imagined that the day Peng

Wei dies, Wei Yao would probably get rid of his wife.”

Xing Ji nodded, “It makes sense. I just want to remind you that even if you appreciate Peng Wei’s character, after all, your positions are different. Keep your guard up.”

“If Uncle Xing doesn’t object, let’s settle it. As for how to act, I’ll discuss it with my big brother later. If he doesn’t agree to be the assassin, maybe I’ll really go to Liang Country with Peng Wei. We’ll know how to act when the day breaks.” Su Liang said and left.

Xing Ji got up, “I won’t say anything more. Be careful, don’t risk your life for anything. Even if we really go to war with Liang Country, we are not afraid.” “I understand.” Su Liang replied and then left.

She found a pharmacy, got some medicine for Peng Wei, left some silver, changed her disguise, and went back to Ping’an Temple.

Su Liang hardly rested during the whole journey, and by the time she returned to Ping’an Temple, there was still an hour before dawn.

The courtyard was quiet, and Su Liang knocked on the door, “Brother?” The door opened immediately, revealing Ning Jing.

There was no light in the room, and Ning Jing’s eyes seemed even colder under the moonlight.

“Nobody came?” Su Liang asked after entering the room.

Ning Jing nodded, “Someone came.”

“Did you take care of them all?” Su Liang gave him a thumbs up, “I’m not surprised.”

“What did Uncle Xing say?” Ning Jing asked.

“Although he is very worried about my safety, he did not stop me after learning the truth.” Su Liang said.

“You don’t go, I’ll go get Wei Yao’s head.” Ning Jing’s expression was indifferent.

Su Liang was surprised, ‘When did you think of this?”

“After you left.” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang reached out, “It seems that we brothers have a tacit understanding. I thought so too, that it could be done like this.”

Ning Jing looked at Su Liang’s hand, “What are you doing?”

“Oh.” Su Liang immediately withdrew her hand and said with a light laugh, “At this time, we should shake hands. It’s a habit in our world. Forget it.”

“Shake hands? Why?” Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang thought for a moment and said, “It probably means that heroes have the same vision, brother, you are really smart, more or less. But on the other hand, I have great confidence in your ability, but I still think it’s very dangerous. Are you sure?”

Before Su Liang saw Ning Jing answer, she lowered her head and saw a beautiful hand with slender knuckles in front of her.

“What’s that for?” Su Liang asked unconsciously.

“What do you think?” Ning Jing countered.

Su Liang laughed, “Great God, you’re really curious about the other side.” She then naturally reached out and diagonally held Ning Jing’s four fingers, shaking them, “It’s like this.”

Su Liang’s hand loosened and she heard Ning Jing ask, “How many shakes?” Su Liang: …

Knowing Ning Jing’s character, Su Liang thought for a moment and said, “Generally two or three times.”

“Okay.” Ning Jing looked as if he had remembered it.

Su Liang felt that this kind of thing didn’t need to be learned…

Su Liang thought for a moment and said, “With such a great achievement, it wouldn’t be too much to ask the emperor for a leave to go home for a while, right?”

Ning Jing reached out again, “I was thinking the same thing.”

Su Liang held her forehead, “Great God, you don’t need to practice shaking hands….”
