283. Wanted return gift(1/2)

"Poison master? Why do you ask?" Old Man Mu frowned.

Su Liang sighed, "You know, I'm a doctor. My medical skills are pretty good, but I don't know about poisons. An enemy wanted to harm me before, so I gave poisoned food to my friends..."

Old Man Mu's eyes widened, "That friend of yours was poisoned to death?"

Su Liang shook his head, "It was almost. I asked someone to find the antidote, but ended up owing a favor that I couldn't repay. It's impossible to prevent this kind of thing. It's better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. I want to learn, but I lack a master."

When Old Man Mu heard this, he scratched his gray beard like withered grass and said, "I think I know someone." His tone was very uncertain.

"Why do you think we know each other?" Su Liang was confused.

Old Man Mu explained that he once had a serious alcohol problem. After a few years of drunkenness, he woke up every day and didn't know where he was. At that time, he met a friend, a drinking buddy to be precise. The two of them first One time we met, we had a fight over the last bottle of wine in a shop. Without a fight, we wouldn't have known each other. Later, whenever we met, we would drink together and talk nonsense after drinking.

"One time we were talking about our respective abilities. I was not very drunk at the time, so I just said that I was a carpenter. He drunkenly said that he was the Poison King, and that the poison he made was unrivaled in the world." Old Man Mu shook his head, "I thought He was bragging. But the last time we met, a golden snake head popped out of his sleeve, which scared me so much that I almost woke up. Later, I got a serious illness and barely survived it. I decided to quit drinking and never saw him again. .”

When Su Liang heard that, he thought he was an expert and asked quickly, "What's that person's name? Where did you meet?"

Old Man Mu shook his head, "I don't know what his name is, but he calls himself Bai. I call him Lao Bai, and he calls me Lao Jin."

Su Liang held his head. Old Mu used a fake surname, and Old Man Bai might also be a fake one.

"It's in Qian Country." Old Man Mu said, "If you really want to learn poison techniques, I'll go find Lao Bai! Maybe he's still drinking in that place!"

Su Liang smiled slightly, "Would this be too much trouble for Master?"

Finally hearing Su Liang call her master, and seeing her well-behaved face, Lao Mu felt soft in his heart, but glared at her, "I don't want you to be poisoned to death. Without you, I will definitely be killed by that kid." So angry!"

"When does master plan to set off?" Su Liang kept smiling.

Old Man Mu said angrily, "That's it for today! I don't want to stay in this shabby place anyway!"

Su Liang saw that the old man Mu was a little confused, but it was definitely not because of them, but probably because of Mu Yu. Although they decided not to care about the apprentice, they could already predict that Mu Yu would join Situ Xie and could not give Situ Xie what he wanted. It was doomed. It won't end well.

After all, he raised him with his own hands. Old Mu still can't bear it. But as Su Liang said, if Old Mu takes Mu Yu away forcibly now, Mu Yu will not be able to understand him, and he will not be able to look at Mu Yu all his life. Yu, the relationship between master and disciple is over, it’s time to let go.

"Then the next time we meet will be in Qian Country. I will prepare delicious food for Master then." Su Liang asked with a smile.

"You? know how to cook?" Old Man Mu expressed doubts.

"If you don't believe me, ask him." Su Liang pointed at Gu Ling.

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "You're doing okay."

Su Liang gave Gu Ling a roll of his eyes, and Old Man Mu chuckled, "I'll be with you from now on! I'll go find Lao Bai and ask him to accept you as his disciple. This will be a meeting gift for you!"

"Master is so kind." Su Liang was in a happy mood. This was definitely an unexpected gain. She didn't ask for a specific place and sent someone to search. She felt that if that man was really an expert, only Old Man Mu could find him and follow him.

Speak.

"Where's mine?" Gu Ling asked.

Old Mu stood up, raised his hand and slapped the back of Gu Ling's head, "What are you? I don't have your greeting gift! Take good care of your junior sister! Otherwise, I will expel you from the school!" Before he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Su Liang was overjoyed to see Gu Ling deflated, "Master, you have today too."

Gu Ling straightened her hair and said calmly, "Are you very proud?"

Su Liang nodded, "It's okay. I'm really wronging you by eating the late-night snacks I make that are okay every day. I declare that it will be no more from today! After all, we are engaged, and I don't have to keep trying to please you anymore."

Gu Ling shook his head, "No. I said that for your own good. Lao Mu is already greedy at first glance. From now on, you will have to cook three meals a day with your own hands, and you will be tired."

Su Liang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, God, for being so considerate of me. Then I won't do it from today on."

Gu Ling was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, "That's fine. Although I wait for midnight snacks every day, I will be hungry if I don't eat, but I won't starve to death."

Su Liang was speechless, "Master, are you trying to be miserable?"

"It's you who made me picky about my taste." Gu Ling was quite confident.

Su Liang looked helpless, "Okay, okay. We promised you at the beginning that you would be strong enough to protect me and I would make delicious food for you. It seems that I can only turn around after I defeat you in the year of the monkey."



Situ Xie has been in a bad mood recently. From some unknown time, everything he wanted to do began to go wrong.

He sent people to Yaocheng to spread the word about how powerful the craftsman "Zhao Yu" from the Yue Palace was, but after several days, Mu Yu's master did not arrive.

He had originally suspected that the concealed weapon fan was Su Liang's fault, but Su Liang's behavior was not consistent with this suspicion. She didn't seem to care at all about whether the concealed weapon was concealed or not, and even looked quite naive in many cases.

Situ Xie didn't believe that Su Liang was an innocent girl, but since she came to Yaocheng, apart from demanding severe punishment for Situ Min who almost killed Lin Xie, at other times she seemed to have been specially ordered to treat Situ Han.

, chasing men by the way.

Situ Xie's thoughts were too confused, so he told the matter to his most trusted eldest grandson, Situ Jing.

"Grandpa, maybe that fan did not come from Mu Yu's master, nor was it designed by Su Liang. Who really wants to sell the fan and lie that the descendants of the Mu family can sell it at a high price?" Situ Jing felt that Situ Xie was cheating.

Things seem too complicated.

"What you said is not impossible, but if you think of things so simply, you will fall into other people's traps." Situ Xie said coldly.

Situ Jing's expression was slightly condensed, "Maybe the Yan Kingdom royal family also learned that the descendants of the Mu family are in Yaocheng, and they took action?"

Situ Xie's expression changed, "You are right to think of this. But where the fan came from is still a mystery. As long as we find out this matter, many mysteries will be solved."

"Grandpa, my grandson has an idea." Situ Jing said thoughtfully, "I want to know if Su Liang is here for the secret records of Mu's organization. Why not set up a trap to see if she makes any moves. This person in Yao City

If you work carefully, you might be able to lure them out and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

After Situ Xie thought for a long time, he nodded slightly.



That day, Situ Yao invited Su Liang to go to the teahouse to listen to music, and Su Liang happily went to the appointment.

"In a few days, I will call you cousin sister-in-law." Situ Yao smiled sweetly.

Su Liang sighed slightly, "I hope your cousin won't suddenly regret it."

Situ Yao quickly comforted her, "How could it be? Although my cousin doesn't like to interact with others, since he promised something, he will not break his promise. Moreover, it was my cousin's promise to the emperor's uncle. Marriage granted by imperial decree is not a child's play."

Su Liang nodded when he heard this, "I know, I should trust Gu Ling's character. But I'm still a little worried. Our emperor knows that he and I are getting married in Liang Kingdom, and he might send someone to stop it."

Situ Yao was stunned, "Why? Emperor Qian doesn't want you to be together?"

Su Liang shook his head, "That's not true. It's just that we are all from the Qian Kingdom after all. We come to the Liang Kingdom to do errands, and we should inform the emperor about things like canonization and marriage. But now that we are in such a hurry, I'm afraid the emperor will be suspicious of us."

Situ Yao frowned, "Will you? I will go back and ask my grandfather if he will send someone to Qianguo to explain. Uncle Huang really means well. You are getting married. As long as Uncle Huang's health is fine, you can do it at any time. Returning home.”

Su Liang looked grateful, "That's great. After hearing what you said, I feel much more relaxed."

Situ Yao smiled and lowered her head to pour tea.

The window was open, and opposite the teahouse was the Zhenbao Pavilion. After an old man with white hair walked in, all the guests in the Zhenbao Pavilion left and closed the door in broad daylight.

"Go and find out what happened?" Situ Yao asked her maid.

Su Liang also asked Lonicera to go over and have a look.

As a result, not long after, the Zhenbao Pavilion opened the door again, but the white-haired old man did not come out. A shocking news quickly spread.

The family head of the Mu family came to the Zhenbao Pavilion and said that in three days they would use the Zhenbao Pavilion to auction off a Mu family treasure, and the one with the highest price would get it.

Subsequently, the news that Mu had a secret book of organs spread throughout Yao City.

Situ Yao laughed when she heard about it, "The hidden weapon fan that Doctor Su got a few days ago must be a genuine product of the Mu family."

The corner of Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "Auction? I like it. No matter what the treasure is, I will get it."

Situ Yao nodded, "The most important thing that Divine Doctor Su needs is money. When the time comes to buy this treasure, you have to open my eyes."

"No problem." Su Liang responded quickly.



At night, Situ Xie's study.

"Grandfather, why not let the person pretending to be the head of the Mu family live in the inn openly and see who comes to find him?" Situ Jing asked.

Situ Xie shook his head, "In that case, I should invite him to live in the house. Anyone can go find him."

Situ Jing was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa is right. But if this is the case, what will be sold at the auction three days later? With Su Liang's financial resources, if he bids for the auction items openly, it won't mean anything."

Situ Xie held half of the secret book of the organization in his hand, with a deep look in his eyes, "I'll just sell this."

Situ Jing's expression changed, "We cannot let Qian Country and Yan Country get this thing!"

Situ Xie shook his head slightly, "By now, I'm afraid that the Qian Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom already know that there are descendants of the Mu family in Yaocheng and are targeting me. But I didn't get the complete secret records of the organization, only half of them, which are useless. .In this case, it is better to sell it openly."

Situ Jing's eyes lit up, "Whoever buys it will get a hot potato!" It's useless and will cause big trouble.

And with the secret record in hand, Situ Xie could make a copy for himself, sell the original copy, and divert attention. Situ Han became more and more distrustful of him. If he knew that he had concealed the affairs of the Mu family's descendants, he would definitely be more suspicious of him.

If the upcoming auction goes well, Situ Xie will be able to clear up his relationship with the Mu family.



It’s the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

That day, Su Liang went to give Situ Han acupuncture and then left the palace. Halfway through, it started to snow.

After Liandong drove, they went directly to Zhenbao Pavilion. The auction was today.

In the past three days, Zhenbao Pavilion has launched auction tickets, which are quite expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
