177. Count on(1/2)
He was strangled several times and almost suffocated, but until dawn, Duanmu Ao did not change his story, insisting that everything was led by Duan Mu Sheng and that he only knew about it, but he was not the one who harmed the Su family.
Su Liang gave Duanmu Ao some Ruanjin San, gagged his mouth, and locked him in the room. "I will come back. Think about it slowly."
Duanmu Ao's face was black and green, and he collapsed on the ground. He looked at Su Liang with eyes that seemed to want to tear her into pieces.
Today is the day when Su Liang and Ning Jing officially become officials.
Ningjing went to the Ministry of Revenue to report early in the morning.
When Su Liang arrived at Lin's house, he followed Lin Bojun to the Ministry of War first, and then to the military camp outside the city.
Yan Yu left the Su Mansion half an hour later to handle business.
Near noon, Yan Yu was reading the account books in his shop in the capital when he heard a customer mentioning the second prince Duanmu Ao.
After hearing what was said clearly, Yan Yu frowned and sighed, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
…
Su Liang saw the army in this world for the first time. Compared with the army in her previous life, it was very primitive, but there were still many similarities. For example, soldiers had to undergo high-intensity training every day.
Lin Bojun took Su Liang up to the observation deck to watch the military training scene below, which was very spectacular.
"Xiao Liang, you are brave and resourceful. You are the material to be a general. The emperor also attaches great importance to it. The first task is to familiarize yourself with the art of war. You have never slacked off in martial arts training. You don't need to participate in these trainings." Lin Bojun smiled.
explain.
According to the rules, when you first enter the military camp, even if you are a deputy general, you must participate in three months of daily training like ordinary soldiers, not only to adapt to the military camp, but also to temper your temperament and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
Nian Jincheng and Lin Bojun both came here like this, and Luo Rong, who became a military attache, will do the same.
But Lin Bojun has already asked Duanmu Yi for permission, so Su Liang can make an exception and does not need to participate in the training camp.
Not because of anything else, but because Lin Bojun knew Su Liang and knew that the intensity of her daily training was no worse than that of the military camp. He thought that the basic training in the military camp was a bit of a waste of time for Su Liang. She had better training planned by herself.
Su Liang shook his head, "Let's follow the rules. Now that you've entered the military camp, don't do anything special, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public."
She is the only woman in the military camp, so she is a special existence.
Su Liang doesn't have much idea for the time being whether he will lead troops to fight in the future.
But no matter what she does, her attitude has always been, either don't do it, or do it well if you do it.
In this way, you will have the strength to use it when it is needed.
Lin Bojun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I'm too busy. I thought you didn't like this simple training. If you are willing to participate, that would be better."
"I saw Luo Rong, let's go with him." Su Liang said, "Brother Lin, lend me any military books. I'll take them back and read them at night."
Lin Bojun nodded, "Okay! Then go ahead!"
Su Liang was wearing simple and neat clothes today. After getting off the observation deck, he went to Luo Rong's team and joined the running team.
Luo Rong was surprised to see Su Liang appearing next to him, "I thought General Su didn't need to participate in the training."
Su Liang smiled, "It's the same, it's just that I came late. Bibi?" After saying that, he surpassed Luo Rong and ran to the front.
After one lap, a group of hundreds of men were all surpassed by Su Liang.
One by one, they gathered their energy and started to chase forward.
The training task was ten laps. When Su Liang joined, more than half of them had already completed two laps. In the end, Su Liang was the first to finish.
Lin Bojun had been watching from the observation deck and was not surprised by this result. Perhaps these people thought that Su Liang was practicing high-strength martial arts, but in fact she would go running every day after getting up, and her speed and endurance were quite impressive.
Comparatively speaking, Luo Rong was very strong in martial arts, but he had never run like this before, so it was a bit overwhelming for him.
After half a day, the words "Su Liang, the top military scholar, is a born soldier" have spread throughout the military camp.
Because of all the training, she was able to get started quickly and achieve a level of perfection that made people admire her.
At first, some people saw that Su Liang did not participate in the training camp with Luo Rong, and they were still muttering that she was doing something special because she was a woman. On the battlefield, it was not just martial arts that could handle it.
But Su Liang's performance once again made these men look at her with admiration.
…
Su Liang was training in the military camp, and Ning Jing was drinking tea in the household department.
Before noon, a shocking news spread in the capital: after the fifth prince Duanmu Che, the second prince Duanmu Ao also showed symptoms of sudden madness!
It was said at the beginning that Duanmu Che had a mental problem because he was obsessed with Su Liang and could not get what he wanted.
But as we all know, the second prince Duanmu Ao and Su Liang had a grudge. Not long ago, they had a public dispute at the foot of Huguo Temple. It is said that Su Liang was assassinated that day!
It is impossible for Duanmu Ao to be trapped in love and go crazy like Duanmu Che, but it is strange that he has the same disease.
As a result, a theory spread like wildfire: Duanmu Che and Duanmu Ao were both poisoned by Su Liang because they offended her! She used this method to achieve the purpose of revenge on the two princes, and at the same time, she used the medicine that had been used to treat them.
Opportunity to claim credit in front of the emperor!
As a man of the hour in the capital for more than a month, Su Liang's reputation has been ups and downs. Although everything that has been confirmed is positive, negative rumors are like a flood. As long as a hole is opened, it will surge forward.
spread.
What's more, there are still people secretly fueling the flames.
Duanmu Che has been ill for several days in a row, always going crazy at night and recovering during the day.
Duanmu Yi originally thought that Duanmu Che had a mental problem and had something to do with Su Liang, but it was not her problem.
But today Duanmu Ao also suddenly went "crazy". Dr. Gao went to see him and said that he couldn't get close and no one could control him. He could only lock him in the room for the time being. It would be best to ask Su Liang to take action.
Duanmu Yi couldn't help but remember that after Duanmu Che went crazy for the first time, he claimed that Su Liang had poisoned him...
Duanmu Yi thought that it was impossible for Su Liang to poison Duanmu Che.
But at the moment, Duanmu Yi could not rule out the possibility that Su Liang would poison Duanmu Ao.
After all, although Duanmu Yi didn't care about the Su family's affairs, as Su Liang returned to the capital alive, it was only human nature for her to want to investigate the truth and seek revenge.
Duanmu Yi sent people to the military camp to invite Su Liang, and at the same time asked people to call the prince Duanmu Sheng and the fourth prince Duanmu Chen into the palace.
Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Chen arrived first.
"Father, I just went to see the second emperor's brother. He didn't recognize anyone, and he looked like he was crazy." Duanmu Sheng's face turned ugly, "Emperor Gao said that the attack was the same as that of the fifth brother."
Duanmu Chen frowned, "When I entered the palace, I heard rumors that Su Liang poisoned the second and fifth emperor brothers to take revenge on them and take the opportunity to claim credit."
Duanmu Yi's face was grave, "Do you think it was Su Liang who poisoned me?"
Duanmu Sheng said with a cold face, "I think she is very suspicious. She has always been at odds with the second emperor's brother."
Duanmu Chen shook his head, "I don't think it was Su Liang's doing. It's best to use this method once, but using it twice will arouse suspicion. She shouldn't be so stupid."
"Then who does the Fourth Emperor think was responsible?" Duanmu Sheng asked coldly.
Duanmu Chen sighed, "If Su Liang is suspicious, I think it is more likely that someone deliberately plotted to kill the heir of our Qian Kingdom. They first picked the weakest fifth emperor's brother. I learned that Su Liang had an affair with the second emperor's brother. They quarreled and poisoned the second emperor brother, and at the same time put the blame on Su Liang, in order to get rid of the most outstanding talents in the Qian Kingdom."
"The fourth emperor brother is trying to excuse Su Liang, right?" Duanmu Sheng snorted.
Duanmu Chen's expression was as usual, "Brother Prince, the reason why I have this speculation is because as soon as the second emperor brother's accident happened, rumors slandering Su Liang spread all over the city. But it stands to reason that the second emperor brother is sick, and it is a strange disease. , it is impossible for outsiders to know about this kind of thing, and all the dirty water was poured on Su Liang's head so quickly. I think that the accident to the second emperor brother means that someone really poisoned him and the fifth emperor brother. The rumors are false. The poisonous person designed to frame Su Liang."
Duanmu Sheng's face was a little stiff, "What you said makes sense."
Duanmu Chen looked at Duanmu Yi and said respectfully, "Father, there are rumors that Su Liang poisoned the two princes and took credit for treating them. I think it is even more nonsense. Her medical skills are not needed. It takes so much trouble to prove it.”
Duanmu Yi's face was solemn, "You are right. But who is behind it?"
Duanmu Chen thought thoughtfully, "If I were to guess, the person from the Yan Kingdom is very suspicious. It is said that there are many strange and strange poisons in the southern barbarian land. And she is very hostile to Su Liang, the champion of martial arts. "
Duanmu Sheng frowned, "Muya? Isn't she acclimatized? She hasn't left the post house in the past few days?"
"Brother Crown Prince, don't you think it's strange? She was fine in the first two days here, and then she suddenly fell ill," Duanmu Chen said.
Duanmu Sheng's eyes flickered and he didn't answer any more.
Duanmu Yi's face was condensed, "Go back, be careful."
Duanmu Chen stood up and said, "My son, go see the second emperor brother."
Duanmu Sheng walked to the door, but was stopped by Duanmu Yi, "Prince, stay."
Duanmu Chen didn't look back and walked straight away. After leaving the palace, he asked Chang An to drive to the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Master, it shouldn't be Miss Su who poisoned the second prince, right?" Chang'an asked.
Duanmu Chen's eyes were dark and he didn't answer.
In front of Duanmu Yi, he justified Su Liang with good reason. But in fact, he felt that Su Liang was the one who did it.
But at the same time, Duanmu Chen felt that something was wrong, because he guessed that Su Liang would attack Duanmu Ao, but he did not expect that he would use the same method as Duanmu Che.
The strangest thing is that if it was Su Liang who did it, she couldn't possibly spread the rumors herself and put the blame on herself, right?
Although it can be defended, it can easily be self-defeating. This kind of muddled approach is not like Su Liang's style.
Duanmu Chen arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion with doubts, but did not see Duanmu Ao. He could only hear him roaring and smashing things in the room outside. No one dared to go in.
Duanmu Chen waited for Su Liang to come over at the Second Prince's Mansion.
While waiting, Duanmu Chen thought of Duanmu Sheng who was left in the palace, and suddenly his heart moved!
Duanmu Sheng wanted to throw dirty water on Su Liang today, but it was obvious that Duanmu Chen dismissed them one by one. But without Duanmu Chen, Duanmu Yi would have been a little suspicious of Su Liang, Duanmu Sheng then If you add more fuel and vinegar, things will get worse.
