190. That woman(1/2)

As soon as it dawned, the sound of military training could be heard from the north of Xuanbei City.

This happens every day, and the people nearby have long been accustomed to it.

Su Liang woke up and heard movement next door, wondering when Ning Jing came back.

Since they went back and forth so quickly and didn't wake her up, the matter must have been resolved smoothly.

Su Liang packed up and went out, reaching the door of Ningjing Room. As soon as she raised her hand, before knocking on the door, the door opened from the inside.

Ning Jing still looked the same as before when he was disguised as before. When he saw Su Liang, his expression was calm and he said, "They will arrive today."

Su Liang came in, "Where is Wan Lin?"

"I'm dizzy." Ning Jing said.

"As long as you're not dead, it's still useful." Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "What happens next depends on Uncle Xing. Although I was also sent by the emperor, I will wait until the situation is stabilized before I come forward."

Just in case, she and Ning Jing did not show up for the time being, and it was safer to act in secret.

The two of them went to have breakfast together like yesterday.

I heard someone talking about the recurrence of Wanshan's old illness.

Outsiders didn't know that Wan Shan was paralyzed, thinking that he had an old injury from leading soldiers in battles that had never healed, so they expressed concern and respect for him.

There were different voices among them, but they did not question Wan Shan, but speculated that Wan Shan deliberately pretended to be ill to confuse the Liang army and lure the enemy.

If Su Liang didn't know about this, he would also have thought of that.

But she knew that she had to doubt the extent of the "illustrious military exploits" the Wan family father and son had made in guarding northern Xinjiang in the past few years.

When Xing Ji arrives, Wan Shan will soon appear, Su Liang is looking forward to it.

"Brother Wen!"

A loud shout came from Su Liang, who was looking at the clay figurines sold on the roadside without any reaction.

"Wenliang!" shouted again.

Ning Jing looked at the general who was walking over with a group of soldiers, and pulled Su Liang's sleeve, "Did you call me?"

Su Liang finally came back to her senses and realized that yesterday she casually gave herself a pseudonym called Wen Liang.

"General Chen." Su Liang held his hand.

"Haha, do you know what my last name is?" The bearded man came over with a smile, his eyes fell on Ning Jing, and he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Tingjing hid away.

The bearded man shot the air, was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Brother Wen, is this your brother, right? Why are you so thin?"

Su Liang smiled and said, "That's my brother. Let's talk about it." Again, he picked it up casually.

"This name is a bit strange." The bearded man said with a smile.

"No wonder." Su Liang shook his head, "Originally, I should have been called Wen Zhixin. You can learn the new by reviewing the past."

Ning Jing turned around and bought the clay figurine Su Liang had just seen, not wanting to listen to her nonsense.

The bearded man laughed loudly, "Then why aren't you called Wen Zhixin?"

"I don't like writing, so my father changed it to a simple name." Su Liang's expression remained unchanged, "You still don't know the name of General Chen?"

"It's my fault. I love to write, and my name is very complicated. The name only has the character Yun." Chen Yun said with a smile, "Do you brothers still go to Liang Kingdom to do business?"

Su Liang shook his head, "I'm not going. I'll play in Xuanbei City for a few days and then go home."

"That's right!" Chen Yun nodded and reached out to rub Su Liang's hair.

Ning Jing took Su Liang's arm and took her behind her, with a calm expression, "General Chen, your noble man is busy, so we won't disturb him."

Chen Yun rubbed his hands in embarrassment again and chuckled, "I used to have a younger brother who was lost when he was a child. If he were alive, he would be as old as Little Brother Wen. So when I saw Little Brother Wen yesterday, I felt very close to him."

He wanted to say something else, but his subordinates came over and urged him, "General, leave quickly. The matters assigned by the eldest son have not been completed yet."

"General Chen, go and get busy." Su Liang said quickly.

"Which inn are you staying in? I'll meet you for a drink when I have time!" Chen Yun asked.

Ning Jing shook his head, "My brother doesn't know how to drink."

Su Liang smiled and said, "My brother won't let you drink it."

After saying this, Ningjing pulled Su Liang and distanced herself from Chen Yun.

Watching Chen Yun lead the troops to leave, Su Liang whispered to Ning Jing, "He knows the shady things about the Wan brothers and can be a witness later."

"Uncle Xing will check it out when he comes." Ning Jing handed the little clay figurine he bought to Su Liang.

It was a cute and cute fat doll. Su Liang smiled and asked, "Does it look like Zheng'er?"

Ning Jing took another look and said, "It doesn't look like that."

Su Liang hummed, "Since I bought it, there must be a reason. It's not like Zheng'er, but it's like you." After saying that, Su Liang poked the nose of the clay doll, "You are prettier than you, General Chen even said you are

Too thin, chubby is more festive."

"You..." Ning Jing's voice paused, "You like that?"

"What kind?" Su Liang followed Ning Jing's line of sight and saw a fat man walking past not far away.

Su Liang's mouth twitched slightly, "Are you polite?"

Ningjing didn't answer and walked in one direction.

Su Liang followed with the clay figurine. When Ning Jing stopped, Su Liang looked up and found that it was actually a teahouse owned by the Ning family, with the Ning family's flag hanging on it. She didn't notice it yesterday.

Although Xuanbei City is not as prosperous as other big cities in Qian Kingdom, there are many people traveling from north to south. The second floor of the teahouse here is a good place for businessmen to rest and discuss business. All kinds of tea are sold on the first floor, and business has always been good.

.

Ning Jing came here to hide his identity. The two of them went to the second floor, ordered a pot of tea, sat facing the street, and watched the people coming and going below.

"Xiao Qi is at home, no one will find him, right?" Su Liang suddenly remembered.

Ning Jing asked back, "Xiao Nian, Xiao Qi, do you think you are very old?"

Su Liang raised her eyebrows, "If you really think about it, I'm older than you all." Mental age.

"It's not even haircut yet, so what's the big deal?" Ning Jing shook his head.

"That sounds strange to you? Then just bear with it." Su Liang said that she would not change her words.

"Whatever." Ning Jing said.

As a result, Su Liang forgot what she was going to say.

When the cup of tea was almost finished, Su Liang thought, "Could it be that Wan Cong didn't wait for Wan Lin's news and sent Chen Yun to patrol openly, but he was actually there to meet Wan Lin?"

Ning Jing nodded, "It's possible."

"It's broad daylight, so it should be fine. Chen Yun seems to be dissatisfied with the Wan brothers, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry today." Su Liang said, "We'll wait for Uncle Xing here. If no one is there by noon, we'll look for him again."

Ning Jing suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to buy something."

Before Su Liang could ask anything, he had already left the door and closed it from the outside.

Su Liang looked down from above and saw Ningjing turning into an alley after leaving the teahouse, but no one was there.

Su Liang thought that Ning Jing had gone to meet Xing Ji secretly. Thinking that was fine, he sat there drinking tea and looking at the street below.

Near noon, tranquility returned.

As soon as he sat down, he said, "There is a family named Chen in Xuanbei City. They have two sons. The eldest son is twenty-two years old, and the youngest son was lost when he was four years old. If alive, he would be sixteen this year."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You went to investigate Chen Yun? It seems like there is nothing wrong with him. What do you think is wrong?"

"No, I'm just having nothing to do." Ning Jing said.

"I thought you were going to pick up Uncle Xing." Su Liang said and looked outside again, and saw a commotion in the direction of the city gate.

They didn't go down either and watched as Xing Ji took the lead and led Lin Bojun and a group of elite soldiers into Xuanbei City.

Chen Yun and his soldiers were nowhere to be seen, nor was Wan Lin seen.

Wherever he passed, the people gave way.

The news spread quickly: the emperor sent an imperial envoy, the original King of Beijing, now the loyal and trustworthy Marquis Xingji.

Because the troubles caused by the crown prince's position in the capital have not yet reached Xuanbei City, although some people speculated that Xing Ji came to replace Wan Shan, they were only a handful.

Xing Ji and his entourage passed by the tea house. He seemed to feel something. He raised his head and glanced at Su Liang. He looked away with a normal expression and walked away with the people.

Wan Cong, who was in the General's Mansion, had no news about Wan Lin. He sent his most capable subordinate Chen Yun to look for him under the pretext of patrolling around Xuanbei City. He also warned that if he met someone who claimed to be from the capital,

No need to ask anything, just take it and bring it back secretly.

But before Chen Yun returned, Wan Cong received a report from his subordinates, "Marquis Zhongxin is here!"

In fact, Wan Cong knew about it in the middle of the night last night. It was the latest news sent by the Wan family from the capital: Duanmu Sheng killed Duanmu Ao. The emperor almost executed Duanmu Sheng and sent Xing Ji, Lin Bojun and Su Liang to Xuanbei City. The situation

Not good!

On one side was Wan Shan who suddenly collapsed, and on the other was Wan Lin who still didn't know whether he could succeed. As time went by, Wan Cong was simply worried.
