Su Liang left the general's mansion and quickly mounted her horse. Just as she was about to set off, she suddenly thought of what Ning Jing had told her before going out. Google search reading

"Don't fall asleep in the shower."

Su Liang looked confused, feeling that something was wrong...

Last night, she did fall asleep in the bath. How did Ningjing know? Because she didn't respond when called? Then how did he throw the jade pendant into the bathtub accurately without hitting her?

Although Ning Jing has a bit of a weird temper, in Su Liang's eyes, he is definitely a gentleman.

Su Liang felt that it was impossible for Ning Jing to peek at something while she was sleeping, but maybe she accidentally saw something?

As Su Liang rode towards the city gate, he was seriously thinking about the scene when he was awakened by the jade pendant last night.

She was behind the screen and Ningjing was next door, but the jade pendant couldn't pass through the wall, so he threw it from the door of the small study to be able to determine the location.

Su Liang thought that the screen was not enough to completely block the inner room. From the angle of the small study door, it seemed that one side of the tub could be seen, or at most one of her arms. Originally, except for my arms, my whole body from the shoulders down was soaked in the tub.

Thinking of this, Su Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with what Ning Jing did.

Even if you are sure that no one is around and you are in the room, you really shouldn't fall asleep in the shower. If an assassin breaks in and you fail to react in a split second, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, Su Liang finally came to the conclusion that unless Ningjing was next door and she didn't have to worry about safety issues, she could never relax enough to fall asleep while taking a bath.

After thinking about things, Su Liang had already arrived on Xuanbeicheng Street.

When she came back to her senses and paid attention to the next week, she found that the people were looking at her, their eyes full of kindness. When they saw her looking over, they would smile and nod, and some would even clasp their hands and bow to her.

"General Su" and "Su Zhuangyuan" appeared very frequently in the mouths of passers-by. Su Liang heard all the good words in her ears. She became the most famous person in Xuanbei City, and her reputation temporarily surpassed that of the general Xing Ji.

Su Liang was not in awe, and even felt a little troubled.

She was a passive participant in what happened last night. As a Qianguo native and a military general serving in Xuanbei City, she tried her best to do her part, and the result did not disappoint.

Such a prestigious reputation is not what Su Liang pursues.

The greater her fame, the more people will pay attention to her every move in the future, and even a small incident may be magnified. Others' expectations of her are getting higher and higher. If she fails, she will fall down.

"Go your own way and let others tell you."

Su Liang thought of this old saying and shook her head. She felt that she was thinking too much. She couldn't influence 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 military camp and no one came to see her.

She rode her horse to the gate of the city, and the defenders saluted her very respectfully.

"General Su!"

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

Before she could react, Chen Yun had already taken three steps and then two at a time.

Su Liang did not forget to give Chen's father acupuncture, but it was only once every other day and would go again tomorrow.

"General Su is leaving the city?" Chen Yun was already there.

Out of courtesy, 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 go and pay my respects." Su Liang looked calm.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "The scenery there is very nice, and it is a non-war area agreed with Liang Kingdom. People in the city often go there to burn incense. I go with my mother on the first and fifteenth day of every month. General Su doesn't If you don’t like it, can I show you the way?”

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

"But General Su is alone. What if Liang Guo..." Chen Yun frowned.

Said to be a non-war zone, this agreement is only valid during the period when the two countries maintain peace, and neither side touches the other's people to avoid provoking war.

But if the peace is broken, that's a different matter.

Therefore, it is risky to burn incense at Ping'an Temple. Although it cannot stop devout 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. If someone comes to trouble me in broad daylight, I won't be polite. Let's go." After Su Liang finished speaking, he got on his horse and quickly left the city.

Chen Yun sent someone to the military camp to inform Xing Ji, and then he boarded the tower again, only to see a retreating figure, which disappeared from sight soon after.

"Does General Chen like General Su?" the deputy general who was closest to Chen Yun asked with a smile.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fist and hit the deputy general, "What nonsense are you talking about? General Su's famous beauty has been taken care of!"

The deputy general looked understanding, "After all, we are not married. If General Chen is interested, why not try pursuing General Su? The head of the Xunyang tea merchant Ning family is just a wealthy businessman and is not worthy of General Su's talents."

Chen Yun looked serious, "Don't talk nonsense. General Su's fiancé is the top scholar in today's science and technology, a great talent."

"That is not suitable for General Su. He is a weak scholar. In the future, when he is robbed when he goes out, he will have to hide behind General Su. This is not appropriate!" The deputy general still did not give up urging Chen Yun to pursue Su Liang.

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

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment. Chen Yun had already descended from the tower again.

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

After Lin Bojun took the order and left, Qi Jiang said, "Master Hou, don't worry too much, General Su is not a reckless person, she will be careful."

"I know." Xing Ji nodded, "But for this kind of thing, you are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, it is better to be cautious."

Qi Jiang said with a smile, "Does Mr. Hou treat General Su as his daughter?"

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

Qi Jiang had followed Xing Ji for many years, but this was the first time he saw him like this, and he actually felt a little aggrieved.

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

Not long after, I "ran into" Ningjing who was picking mushrooms in the forest.

It’s really mushroom hunting.

Ning Jing was holding a delicate basket in his hand, with a layer of fresh mushrooms already spread at the bottom.

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

Ning Jing picked a mushroom, stood up straight with the basket, and pointed in the direction, "Over there."

"Do you sell brother's mushrooms?" Su Liang asked again.

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

"You also go to Ping'an Temple? What a coincidence, let's go together!" Su Liang smiled.

In fact, there was no one else around, but the two of them were very involved in the drama, as if they had just met and were walking along the way.

After exiting the woods, two people rode horses towards Heian Temple.

Su Liang couldn't help but ask, "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.

Ting Jing nodded.

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

"My mother." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang took the opportunity to ask a question that she had ignored before, "Something happened to the Gu family, what about your maternal grandfather's family? Is there anyone there?"

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

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

"Well, my mother was originally the princess of Liang Kingdom, and Gu Yuan also served as the general of Xuanbei City for several years, but no one dares to mention it now." Ning Jing looked indifferent.

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

Maybe it was because Ning Jing was around and he didn't mention it, it was easier for Su Liang to ignore things related to the Gu family.

And Ning Jing didn't even want to call Gu Yuan father, which shows that there is only blood relationship between father and son, not family affection.

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

Ning Jing's thin lips parted slightly, "Uncle of the Emperor of Liang Kingdom, He Liancheng, King of Yue."

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

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

"So, the Duanmu royal family must kill you, is it because they are afraid that you will join the Liang royal family?" Su Liang asked, "You have never thought about going?"

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

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

Arriving at the foot of Ping'an Temple Mountain, Su Liang found that some of the pilgrims going up the mountain came from Xuanbei City of Qian Kingdom and from Nanfeng City of Liang Kingdom, with the former being more crowded.

When the people of the two countries met together, there was no atmosphere of hostility. Instead, they were very harmonious. Some relatives even made a special appointment to meet at Heian Temple tonight.

Summer is almost here in the capital of Qian Kingdom, and the peach blossoms in the mountains here have just begun to bloom.

Su Liang and Ning Jing climbed up the stairs, the breeze blew on their faces, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and grass, the chirping of insects and the chirping of birds, and everything was prosperous.

Heian Temple is a very ancient temple. It is said that the Bodhisattva in the temple is very efficacious. No matter what you ask for, if you are sincere, it will be successful.

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

The monk nodded, "That's the abbot of this temple. He told me that he won't see any guests today."

Master Puqing is Chengyun's master. Cheng Yunhui originally went to the capital of Qian Kingdom to deliver scriptures to his uncle at Huguo Temple, but he was left behind after arriving there and did not come back.

Since he said he wouldn't see any guests, Su Liang didn't force it and decided to just hang around.

"Just in time, I'll save your mushrooms for us to eat," Su Liang said. Grilled mushrooms are also delicious.

As a result, Ning Jing said, "I didn't plan to give it away."

Su Liang clasped her hands together and recited "Amitabha" to the Bodhisattva in the main hall in front of her. She thought that if the Buddha blamed Ning Jing, don't take his anger out on her. She really wanted to give Master Puqing a few mushrooms...

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

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

The monk looked surprised when he saw that although Su Liang was dressed in men's clothes, she was obviously a girl, "Does this female donor recognize Master Chengyun?"

Chengyun is a disciple of Puqing. Although he is young, he has a high seniority in both Ping'an Temple and Huguo Temple.

Su Liang smiled and nodded, "I had help from little master Chengyun."

"Uncle Chengyun went to the capital of Qian Kingdom and is not in the temple now." The monk said.

"Is he coming back?" Su Liang asked.

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

Su Liang thanked him and left from Huguo Temple with Ningjing.

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

After questioning, Lin Bojun was surprised to learn that Su Liang was traveling with a young man and had left Pingan Temple.

After handing the food to the temple, he left without looking for Su Liang.

The wind was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly. Su Liang felt as if he had returned to Sujia Village when he climbed up and looked into the distance.

She lit the fire and waited for a while. Ningjing, who had separated halfway up the mountain, came back carrying a slaughtered and cleaned pheasant and washed mushrooms.

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

"Next time." Ning Jing said. The pheasant caught today is not small, and with the addition of a rabbit, it will be too much to eat.

The two of them roasted pheasant and mushrooms around the fire, and the alluring aroma soon filled the air.

After it was roasted, the two of them shared the meal. The special pheasant with mushrooms was very delicious.

After eating, the fire was put out, and Su Liang lay on the soft grass, pillowing his arms, looking at the birds flying in the sky, and sighed, "There is no hope of flying to the sky again in this life."

Ning Jing lay down not far away, "Have you never thought about building an airplane?"

Su Liang chuckled, "I don't know how, and there are no conditions here."

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

The corners of Su Liang's lips raised slightly, "That's good. When I go back, I will write a novel with you as the hero."

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

"Of course it's me. I'll write a story about how I met a great god like you after traveling through time, and we became brothers and conquered the world." Su Liang said with great interest, "It must be exciting!"

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

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

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

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

"Go and have a look over there." 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 will you."

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

"Of course it's me. I'll write a story about how I met a great god like you after traveling through time, and we became brothers and conquered the world." Su Liang said with great interest, "It must be exciting!"

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

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

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

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

"Go and have a look over there." 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 will you."

It was already afternoon when Su Liang returned to the city, and he was still alone.

After entering the general's mansion, the guards said that Xing Ji was 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 frowned slightly, handed the horse to the guard, and went straight to the garden.

Xing Ji was sitting alone in the pavilion, holding a book in his hand. After turning a page, he looked up and saw Su Liang striding over.

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

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

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "A man I met by chance on the road."

Xing Ji sighed deeply, "Su Liang, of course I believe you, and I don't want to interfere with you, but now many people are staring at you, and your actions will be suspicious."

Su Liang reacted quickly, "Some people would think that I am a craftsman who goes out of the city to meet people?"

Xing Ji asked, "What do you think?"

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

Xing Ji raised his head and said, "You girl... don't blame me for being careless. You refused to recognize me as your adoptive father. I didn't think much about it at first, but now I feel that you may be hiding some big secret."

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

Xing Ji was speechless, "Then can you explain what happened to today's chance encounter?"

"Actually," Su Liang paused, "he is the person hired by Ningjing to protect me secretly."

Xing Ji was stunned, "There are secret guards around you?"

"That's right." Su Liang nodded.

"Then why do you need to go outside the city to meet up?" Xing Ji felt a little headache.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Experts have weird tempers. He insists on picking mushrooms today. I have to respect him."

"Can I meet that master?" Xing Ji asked seriously.

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

Xing Ji stood up and left, "Forget it, just be happy. Be more careful in the future."
