195. Can't sleep(1/2)

Su Liang sheathed her sword. Lin Bojun and Chen Yun were already approaching, protecting her and quickly retreating back to the protective circle of the Qianguo army.

Wei Yao's face was livid, and he grabbed Wei Hao, who stood up and wanted to rush towards Su Liang again.

"Miscalculation, that's the end of the night!" Wei Yao scolded his son in a low voice, "Go back!"

The father and son originally wanted to defeat Su Liang in public, step on Qian Guo's military champion, enhance Wei Hao's reputation in the Liang State and even the world, and at the same time boost the morale of the Liang State, obtain a large amount of food, and alleviate the shortage of food and grass in the army.

The ideal is very full.

The reality is shocking.

Wei Hao was not convinced. He frowned and stared at Su Liang, "She is cheating! She is playing tricks to deliberately waste me!"

Wei Yao's face darkened, "It's already embarrassing enough, don't be stupid! This time I just want to show you that there is a bigger world and more powerful enemies outside the Liang Kingdom! Your ability is not enough!"

Wei Hao's face became even more ugly, but he was no longer impulsive. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, I'm going to beat that girl until she kneels down and begs for my life!"

Wei Yao comforted his son and looked around. When the Liang army competed, they lost the duel with Wei Hao because of Su Liang's words before the war. The high morale had already been drained away.

Even though there was an idea in the original plan to take advantage of the fact that Qian Guo had just changed his general, Wei Yao had retreated and thought he had little chance of winning.

The 20,000 troops that Qian Guo left the city did not return, and the two sides were still in a state of confrontation.

Chen Yun and Lin Bojun escorted Su Liang back to the tower.

Xing Ji gave a thumbs up and said, "You performed very well. I will send a note to the capital tonight and ask the emperor to give you a heavy reward."

Su Liang raised the Luoying Sword in his hand, "Uncle Xing gave me this powerful sword."

Xing Ji smiled and said, "Just feel free to use it."

"What do you mean about that city?" Su Liang brought up business, "Will they really give it to me?"

Xing Ji shook his head, "It's hard to say."

"Having said it all, if you can't afford to lose, you have to default on the debt, and you lose all face?" Su Liang felt that Liang Kingdom still had the possibility to fulfill its promise, "Have you agreed on which city it will be?"

Lin Bojun answered, "I was talking about Nanfeng City at the beginning."

When Su Liang heard about Nanfeng City, she thought of the bacon that Ningjing went to buy specially. She didn't eat much of the prepared midnight snack, so she wondered if Ningjing could leave a piece of meat pie for her.

"In terms of terrain, Nanfeng City is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it's not a very good place." Xing Ji said.

"Is there any benefit to having it?" Su Liang was stunned.

Xing Ji shook his head, "No, if there is a war with the Liang Kingdom and there is no way to escape, it would be a good thing to capture Nanfeng City as soon as possible. Even if we don't garrison and level the city, it will still be beneficial."

"That makes sense." Su Liang nodded.

Xing Ji said loudly to Wei Yao below, "When will General Wei withdraw from Nanfeng City? I will send someone to take over!"

Wei Yao snorted coldly, "Wei will send an envoy to Xuanbei City within three days to discuss this matter with Qian Guo in detail! Farewell!"

The horns of Liang Kingdom sound sad and desolate in the night.

Su Liang was condescending, watching the Liang army retreat like a tide, "Uncle Xing, what do you think of Wei Yao?"

Xing Ji thought for a moment and then said, "The reason why I was able to break into the Liang army and capture Wei Teng alive and succeed was related to Wei Teng being impulsive and irritable and not being cautious enough. Tonight, Wei Hao's temperament followed that of his grandfather, Wei Teng." Yao is very sensible."

Su Liang nodded, "If they readily give Nanfeng City to us, we must be careful of fraud."

"We will decide what to do based on the situation after the envoy from Liang Kingdom arrives," Xing Ji said.

"I don't have anything to do tonight, right? I'll go back first then?" Su Liang said and yawned.

Xing Ji looked at Su Liang with the eyes of a daughter, "Go back to bed quickly. You can sleep a little longer tomorrow. You don't have to get up so early."

"I'll see General Su off!" Chen Yun said.

Lin Bojun reached out and took away Su Liang's sword, "I'll go!"

Xing Ji nodded, "Well, Bo Jun, please send Su Liang back to the general's mansion. Chen Yun, please lead a guard to ensure that there is no trouble in the city tonight."

Chen Yun responded and turned around to see that Lin Bojun and Su Liang had already descended from the tower.



"Xiao Liang, you are really amazing! Ah Jing is so lucky!" Lin Bojun firmly believed that Su Liang and Ning Jing were a couple and took every opportunity to mention Ning Jing.

Su Liang chuckled, "Someone doesn't think so."

Lin Bojun shook his head, "I don't understand what you are going through. You should get married as soon as possible!"

"Brother Lin, please leave us alone. If the Liang Kingdom really wants to negotiate peace this time, even if it's just for food, and we can have peace for two or three years, we will be relieved and can find an opportunity to return to the capital to get married.

"Su Liang said.

When he mentioned this, Lin Bojun's eyes lit up, "Of course that's good!" Although his ideal was to be a general, he didn't like fighting.

While talking, they arrived at the door of the General's Mansion. Lin Bojun watched Su Liang go in, then turned his horse and went back.

Su Liang entered the courtyard quietly, and none of the servants came in according to her instructions.

Passing by the kitchen, there is still a red flame in the stove.

Su Liang opened the door. The candle she had lit when she left was almost burned out. The wax dripped down and condensed into a red flower on the candlestick.

The bowls and chopsticks she used to drink chicken soup were taken away, and the rest was the same as when she left.

Su Liang put the Luoying Sword on the table and turned into the small study room next door.

The soft blanket was still folded neatly, and Ning Jing went out.

Su Liang said that she didn't have to worry about safety at all. The master just came out to have fun. Unlike her, it was best to do whatever he wanted.

There was a fight during the day and another at night. Su Liang planned to take a bath before going to bed.

There was hot water on the kitchen stove that Ningjing had boiled before leaving. Su Liang took it out, brought it into the room, and poured it into the bathtub.

There was a hazy mist in the room. Su Liang soaked in the warm water and felt that every pore in her body was open, which was called a sense of comfort.

Already a little tired, Su Liang thought about taking a bath for a while and then going out to sleep. However, she was so confused that she fell asleep sitting in the bathtub after a while.

The slight sound from the back window of the small study did not wake Su Liang up.

Ning Jing came back from the outside, her clothes had been changed, her black hair was hanging on the back of her head, and there was still a slight moisture on it.

He put the laundry on the stool and looked at the light coming from the door of the small study room from Su Liang's room next door. After listening for a moment, there was no movement, thinking that Su Liang was reading.

Ning Jing walked to the door and didn't see Su Liang sitting at the table. He turned his eyes and saw a white and shiny arm through the side of the screen, resting on the tub.

Ning Jing was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and returned to the small study.

However, because the small study has no door, it cannot block the light from next door.

Ningjing spread her bedding, lay down, and closed her eyes.

After a while, when there was still no movement next door, he got up and went to the ground again.

He went to the wall in the middle, raised his hand and knocked, "Su Liang?"

Su Liang didn't respond.

After Ningjing thought for a moment, he picked up the hairpin he put on the table, looked at it, and put it back. He looked around, picked up a book, and put it back again. Finally, he took off the jade pendant he carried with him and put it in his hand.

He weighed it lightly.

Then, Ning Jing walked to the door of the small study and called Su Liang's name. After waiting for a while, she still didn't hear the sound.

He took a step out, halfway out, and looked towards the side of the screen. After seeing Su Liang's arm again, he raised his hand and closed his eyes. The jade pendant drew a smooth parabola in the air.

Flying behind the screen.

Ningjing stood sideways in the doorway of the small study and soon heard the sound of the jade pendant entering the water.

The sound of water sounded again, and Ning Jing called Su Liang again.

"Ah? It's you? What are you doing?" Su Liang was sleeping soundly when the jade pendant suddenly smashed into the bathtub and woke her up. She was startled and thought someone was coming to kill her, but she heard Ning Jing's voice immediately.

"I fell asleep while taking a bath and didn't notice when I came in. You're too careless." Ning Jing's voice was cold.

Su Liang didn't hear clearly because she was looking for Ningjing's jade pendant in the tub.

"Found it." Su Liang took out the jade pendant, "What did you just say? Are you afraid that my water is cold? It is indeed a bit cold, thank you very much!"

Ning Jing frowned and stood quietly. When he heard the sound that sounded like Su Liang coming out of the water, he didn't say anything. He went back to the small study, lay down on the soft couch, covered himself with a quilt, and closed his eyes.

Su Liang packed up and cleaned and dried Ningjing's jade pendant. He walked to the door of the small study with it and called softly, "Master?"

no response.

"Master, are you asleep?" Su Liang said to himself, "You shouldn't be. Even if you are asleep, you should be woken up by me."

Ningjing did not get up, but said in a faint tone, "Yes, I fell asleep."

Su Liang leaned against the door frame and talked to Ning Jing, "I'm sorry to wake you. Now that I'm awake, let me tell you about tonight. Did you go to see me compete?"

"What do you think?" Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang chuckled, "I think you went."

"Why?" Ning Jing asked.

"If something happens to me, who will make you midnight snack?" Su Liang said in a very serious tone.
