Peng Qian was seriously ill and fell into a coma, unconscious.

Seeing that Su Liang was silent after checking his pulse, Peng Fan couldn't help but asked anxiously, "Can General Su do something about my father's illness?"

Su Liang sighed softly, "I have been ill for too long, so I can only try."

Su Liang gave Peng Qian the acupuncture and left, saying that he would prepare the medicine and bring it back.

Peng Fan thanked him repeatedly, but Su Liang remained calm and said that this was a promise to his grandfather and he should do his best.

After instructing the old housekeeper to arrange food and accommodation for the Peng family, his son and the two attendants they brought, Su Liang returned to her residence.

When he entered the door, he saw that Gu Ling was still there, and the originally messy table had been tidied up. He was reading the medical book that Su Liang had read recently, and he still had Su Liang's notes in his hand.

"It's too late. If you're sleepy, go to bed. I'm going to make some medicine for Peng Qian." Su Liang said and yawned.

Gu Ling closed the book and stood up, "I'll come."

Su Liang thought for a while, "That's fine. There are two medicinal materials, and I have to trouble you to go out and find them."

After an hour, Su Liang prepared the medicinal ingredients and used the small stove in the corridor to boil the medicine.

The door was half open and half closed, and Gu Ling was sitting inside. The two were not far apart.

Su Liang told Gu Ling about Peng Qian's condition and her preliminary treatment plan. After listening, Gu Ling asked, "How long will it take?"

Su Liang thought carefully and then replied, "If the treatment is effective and everything goes well, it will take at least a hundred days for his body to recover to the point where he can take care of himself. But if he is out of danger, he will have to be observed for half a month."

Although after the death of Wei Yao and Wei Hao's father and son, the Liang and Qian states temporarily restored peace. But whether the peace can last for three months, no one can say for sure. Peng Wei is already old, and now he is injured and has not recovered, and his children and grandchildren are not around, so he may be powerless.

Therefore, Su Liang temporarily decided to stay in Xunyang City for another half month. When Peng Qian's health improved and the Peng family and his son returned to China, she would return to the capital.

Gu Ling had no objection to this.

Just when Su Liang added firewood several times and fell asleep, the medicine was finally ready. She scooped it out and carried it to the guest house herself.

Peng Fan was wiping Peng Qian's hands. When he saw Su Liang coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, General Su."

"Give this medicine to your father." Su Liang gave the medicine to Peng Fan, "You have come a long way, just stay in peace, I won't be polite with the reward you deserve."

Peng Fan nodded solemnly, "If General Su can cure my father, I am willing to serve him."

Su Liang shook his head, "No. I'm going back first. If anything goes wrong, call me at any time."

After saying that, Su Liang turned and left. After Peng Fan fed Peng Qian the medicine, although Peng Qian's complexion did not improve significantly, being in a warm and comfortable room and holding the still warm medicine bowl still made his tense body and mind relax a lot. .

Su Liang went back again, and Gu Ling was no longer in her room. After she briefly washed herself, it was already late at night, and she lay down and fell asleep.

When I went to see Peng Qian the next day, he was still awake, but his expression was calmer than yesterday.

"Shall I teach you how to make medicine?" Su Liang said to Peng Fan.

Peng Fan was stunned for a moment, "This...I don't understand..."

Su Liang explained, "I have some things to do over there and leave them to my servants, but I'm afraid something will go wrong. I'll tell you what to do."

Peng Fan quickly agreed and listened carefully to Su Liang's instructions on how to prepare the medicine. When the servants of the Ning Mansion brought over the stove and tools for brewing the medicine, Su Liang also gave him the prepared medicine.

"The old slave has asked someone to put up a sign saying thank you." The old housekeeper said to Su Liang, "Young lady will not be free for a few days after you come back, so you should have a good rest. I will return to the capital in a few days, and I will have business again. busy."

It was Su Liang who asked the old housekeeper to thank the guests behind closed doors, but still told her that if a critically ill patient came to ask for help, he would go to her immediately.

After closing the courtyard door, Su Liang stretched her body, bathed in the bright sunshine, and planned to start the sweet thing in her plan - making peach preserves.

I left some fresh peaches to eat directly, and there were also baskets of large and plump peaches.

Gu Ling went to the mountain where Lingyin Temple is located early in the morning, picked a lot of sour berries that were used in Su Liang's roast chicken yesterday, and pounded them into juice.

The two of them wash, peel and core the peaches together, cut them into evenly sized strips, mix them with sugar and berry juice and marinate them.

After doing this, it was almost noon. Su Liang went to see Peng Qian again. He finally woke up, but his consciousness was still a little blurry. He only heard Peng Fan say that they were at Ning's house in Xunyang City, Qian State. Su Liang was treating him, and Peng Qian's hand moved. He moved, looking at Su Liang but speechless.

"Don't be impatient, you have to take your time." Su Liang said, suddenly asking about Peng Wei's situation, "You came to Qian Country, is it safe for Mr. Peng?"

Peng Fan said seriously, "Thank you, General Su, for your concern. Grandpa is accompanied by a senior with strong martial arts skills, so he should be fine."

"That's good." Su Liang left after saying that.

Peng Fan accidentally saw the purse on Su Liang's waist. The cute little bunny on it surprised him. It felt a little inconsistent with Su Liang's temperament.

After lunch, the peaches were pickled.

Gu Ling started the fire, and Su Liang brought the peach meat to a boil over low heat until soft. This process didn't take long.

Taking the pot off the fire, Su Liang took a deep breath of the sweet and sour fruity aroma in the air and said with a smile, "Soak it overnight and take it out to dry tomorrow."

"Can't you eat it now?" Gu Ling asked.

Su Liang nodded, "You can try it if you want."

Gu Ling took out a piece in a small bowl, blew it gently to cool it, and tasted it slowly.

"What does it smell like?" Su Liang asked.

"Boiled peach flavor." Gu Ling said. He ate the remaining half piece, then washed the dishes and put them back in their place.

At nightfall, a critically ill patient actually came to seek medical treatment. She was a pregnant woman who had fallen. The doctor said there was no way he could be saved. The family thought that Su Liang had rescued the young lady who was having difficulty giving birth in the prefect's mansion, so they asked to come.

The old housekeeper immediately reported Su Liang. Su Liang hurried over and struggled until midnight. Fortunately, he was rescued, but the child was too young and could not be saved.

Su Liang rode alone, carrying a medicine box, and returned to Ning's house through most of Xunyang City in the middle of the night.

Passing by a secluded street, a sharp arrow shot through the air and aimed at Su Liang's back.

She reacted, narrowly avoided it, and broke into a cold sweat. She was a little tired, but suddenly she was sober!

A group of black-clad assassins appeared and surrounded Su Liang.

When she jumped off the horse, she already had the two swords in her hands, and her eyes were calm and cold as she faced the assassins.

Not too surprising. After traveling through time for nearly a year, she has made some friends and offended some big shots. Leaving the capital does not mean safety, Su Liang knows this very well.

During the fight, Su Liang seemed to have returned to the scene where he had to deal with the killers in Yanyun Tower on the mountain behind his home in Sujiacun last year.

That was also the stage when Su Liang's strength improved by leaps and bounds under the huge life and death pressure Gu Ling created for her.

There are eight assassins today, and their average strength is still a bit lower than the top assassins in Yanyun Tower who went to Su Liang to grab the finger.

But one against eight still made Su Liang feel tired.

While fighting, a helper suddenly appeared, a masked man, helping Su Liang deal with the assassins.

What surprised Su Liang was not that someone was helping, but that the person who came was not Gu Ling.

She wasn't sure, but she had an intuition that Gu Ling was nearby. But it wasn't him who showed up.

The helper's martial arts were very powerful, sharing half of the pressure for Su Liang.

Two quarters of an hour later, Su Liang sheathed her knife and watched the only one of the eight assassins left alive bite his tongue and kill himself, his head hanging down, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Su, are you okay?" A familiar voice sounded.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Peng?"

The man took off the black scarf that covered his face. Under the moonlight, his face was resolute. It was Peng Fan.

"I'm fine. Why is Mr. Peng here?" Su Liang asked calmly.

Regarding Su Liang's questioning but not thanking him, Peng Fan explained, "I heard from people in the Ning Mansion that General Su went to rescue people and had not returned yet. The housekeeper was worried about General Su's safety. I don't know how to do martial arts, so he informed me that it would be over." Butler, come to find General Su."

Su Liang nodded, "That's it, thank you."

Peng Fan retrieved Su Liang's horse in a nearby alley. She led the horse to Ning Mansion. Peng Fan followed her and told her that Peng Qian was more conscious and could recognize him.

"Okay, let's take care of it slowly." Su Liang said.

"I wonder if General Su is going back to the capital of Qian Kingdom?" Peng Fan asked.

Su Liang nodded, "I have to go back. If your father's health improves, you can leave and go home to take care of him in about half a month."

"I hope so." Peng Fan sighed, "My grandfather once mentioned that Mr. Ning had a good friend who rescued him in Xuanbei City with General Su. I wonder if General Su can tell me the name and location of that benefactor. I would like to tell him in person. He said thank you."

Su Liang shook his head, "After Ning Jing's incident, he separated from me and went to no one's know where he went."

"If General Su sees that benefactor again next time, please help me convey my gratitude." Peng Fan said solemnly.

"Okay." Su Liang responded, and the gate of Ning Mansion appeared in sight.

When Su Liang returned to her room, she found a lot of blood on her body, but she only suffered a slight injury on her arm, which was not serious.

Su Liang asked for hot water, took a bath, cleaned the wound and applied medicine, and it was almost dawn.

She was getting ready to sleep when Gu Ling finally appeared.

"Master, I have an idea." Su Liang said seriously.

Gu Ling's eyes fell on Su Liang's right arm, then moved away, and asked calmly, "What?"

"Why don't you go to the capital to kill Duanmu Sheng while I'm in Xunyang City?" Su Liang suggested, "I was assassinated tonight, and Peng Fan helped me. When he asked about you later, I It suddenly occurred to me that the emperor should also think that Ning Jing had an expert helping him because he was sent to protect me during those days, so something happened to him. So, wouldn’t it be natural for his expert friend to avenge him? , but with perfect alibi, I can excuse myself by saying that I know that Ningjing has such a friend and has protected me, but I don’t know your details, let alone where you have gone. If the emperor is really suspicious, no. If you reuse me again, that would be better, I can go somewhere else to play! Kill two birds with one stone! Otherwise, I may not know when I will find the opportunity to get rid of Duanmu Sheng!"

Gu Ling asked, "How strong is Peng Fan?"

"I didn't look carefully, but it should be much stronger than I thought." Su Liang said, "Master, are you worried about me? Then after you leave, if I encounter trouble, I will ask Peng Fan for help. He will definitely be happy to do so."

I say this because the Peng family owes Su Liang a great debt of gratitude.

Seeing Gu Ling's silence, Su Liang smiled and said, "It just occurred to me tonight. If you don't want to go, Master, that's okay. I'll think of another way."

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded.

Su Liang thought he meant to let her think of other ways, so she yawned and prepared to go to bed, "I'm almost exhausted, please come back."

Gu Ling stood up and said, "Ask me to help you go to the capital to kill people. I'm leaving. Why don't you say goodbye to me?"

Su Liang turned around, looked at Gu Ling and blinked, "Master, didn't you refuse?"

"I said, OK." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang held his forehead. This person always likes to answer questions behind the scenes.

She faced Gu Ling, stood up straight, and bowed slightly, "Thank you, God, for your help."

Gu Ling nodded slightly, then opened his arms.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then understood, stepped forward, and hugged him, "Master, take care of yourself along the way."

The farewell ceremony between the two was a very brief hug and then they separated.

"It's a pity that it's not convenient right now. Otherwise, I can prepare some dry food for you to eat on the way." Su Liang said casually.

Gu Ling nodded, "In that case, let's leave another day."

Su Liang:......

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "You still have to stay in Xunyang City for half a month, and you can still be late three to five days, right?"

Su Liang said in a faint tone, "Yes. But Master, you didn't plan to leave tonight, did you?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "You said you should prepare dry food for me. Wait until it's ready."

Su Liang was speechless.

"Go to sleep." Gu Ling left after saying that.

Su Liang lay on the bed and covered herself with a quilt. She felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.

Knowing that Su Liang slept very late last night, the old housekeeper didn't let anyone come to disturb her. She didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. After washing, she went to see Peng Qian. He was awake last night and fell asleep again after drinking medicine.

Peng Fan asked about Su Liang's injury. Su Liang waved his hand, "It's okay."

After returning home, Su Liang had breakfast and dried the soaked peach meat piece by piece.

After doing this, she left the house in the afternoon to see the pregnant woman she rescued last night. When she came back, Gu Ling was still missing. Su Liang asked the old housekeeper to prepare some good tea for her.

The most indispensable thing for the Ning family was tea. Su Liang asked for a small stone mill to grind the tea leaves into matcha powder.

The servants brought dinner, and Su Liang asked it to be placed at the door of the study. She worked in the kitchen for a long time and finally made green tea cakes.

The tea was excellent, and the quality of the glutinous rice flour was also very good. Su Liang tasted one. It had a light tea aroma, a slight sweetness, and a soft and glutinous filling. It was a great success.

After setting up dinner, Gu Ling, who had been missing all day, finally appeared.

"Master, where have you been?" Su Liang asked.

"Find a friend." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang was surprised, "You actually have friends that I don't know about?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Your friend."

The corner of Su Liang's mouth twitched slightly, "The sentence 'You go find a friend of mine' was omitted to 'You go find a friend'? Master, do you think this is reasonable?"

Gu Ling ignored Su Liang's complaints and simply said his name, "Yan Shiba."

Su Liang frowned, "What are you looking for her for?"

"Protect you." Gu Ling said calmly, his eyes falling on the plate of green tea cakes, "What is this?"

"I'm not that weak, right? It's not like I can't live without you." Su Liang complained while answering his question, "Green tea cakes, dry food specially made for you."

Gu Ling picked up one, took a sip, nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Where are you going to find Yan Shiba?" Su Liang was curious.

Gu Ling said that he just found the people from Yanyun Tower and issued a mission to kill Su Liang.

Su Liang was speechless, "So Yan Shiba will come to Xunyang City to find me if he knows this mission? Master, have I ever said that you are really a talent?"

As a result, Gu Ling asked, "Are there any black tea cakes?"

Su Liang nodded faintly, "You can have this."

"When you make the black tea cakes, I will go to the capital." After Gu Ling finished speaking, he finished a green tea cake and wiped his hands gracefully with a handkerchief.
