Kill Order

Su Liang can do needlework, but it is limited to some simple tasks, such as making underwear for herself and Gu Ling. She rarely makes other things that can be bought by herself because she is busy.

After Su Liang told Gu Ling how she thought it would be best used, Gu Ling pushed the new baby carriage in front of Su Liang.

The gray-clothed old man had a deep misunderstanding. Gu Ling could make a baby carriage because Su Liang told him what it looked like first. As for needlework, Gu Ling is much better than Su Liang.

"So cute!" Su Liang felt her heart softened when she looked at the beautiful carriage. Gu Ling made it perfectly as she wanted, and also sewed a lop-eared rabbit puppet on the awning of the carriage.

Su Liang could imagine their baby daughter sitting in it, with the little rabbit swaying above her head.

"I can probably see what you would look like if you were a child sitting in such a carriage." Su Liang chuckled. She firmly believed that her daughter would look like Gu Ling.

Gu Ling nodded, "Kill two birds with one stone." He never felt embarrassed about such things.

Zheng'er brought home another new strange toy, but no one sneaked into the Wan Mansion to steal again, and no one came to Gu Ling and Su Liang, making them wonder whether the old man who threw the grenade at Gu Ling had left the capital of Gan State.

If his task was just to investigate and confirm who was the time traveler between Gu Ling and Su Liang, and did not do anything else, this result would be reasonable.

Gu Ling is now very good at making explosives. For safety reasons, he put some of the finished products in the uninhabited Changxin Marquis Mansion for use. It was the mansion given to him by the emperor. It was originally a ruin. Later, he asked Situ Xie for all the trees in the garden of the Yuewang Mansion in Yaocheng and planted them there. At first, someone took care of it, but later he simply left it alone, locked the door, and let the trees, flowers and plants inside grow wildly.

Therefore, the Changxin Marquis Mansion is not a ruin now, but a large garden with natural wildness.

It is not easy to make a musket. There are only two people, Gu Ling and Lao Mu. Even the iron casting is done by their master and apprentice. However, it is not the first time for both of them to do such a thing.

Su Liang is a long-range adviser. Because Gu wants to ensure that she stays away from anything that poses a safety risk.

Regarding bullets, Su Liang said that iron balls or iron nails can be used. Lao Mu thinks that it is similar to short arrows, so why make it so complicated?

Gu Ling thinks it is worth a try. The most important thing about this type of weapon is speed. The speed of bows and arrows is mostly linked to the strength of the user, and human strength is very limited.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and the baby in Su Liang's belly was already five months old.

The mooncakes were made by everyone. After they were made, Su Liang sent people to send festival gifts to the Qin family, the Lin family, the Lin family, and the Xing family.

And the Lin family's citrus orchard in Jiaye City has reached the harvest season. Lin Qi sent people to pick a lot of citrus and transport them to the capital at full speed.

After Nangong Qian's health improved, she became interested in cooking, especially in making pastries, and she was pretty good at it.

Cen Man tasted the various mooncakes baked and said they were delicious. She asked if she should send someone to send some to Qiu Cong in Xuanbei City.

Su Liang said that some days ago, she had asked the Ning family to send some fresh fruit and pastries to Xuanbei City as festival gifts, as well as new clothes for Qiu Cong and his grandchildren.

Cen Man smiled, "You are really thoughtful. He will not be lonely if he celebrates the New Year with his grandson."

...

Xuanbei City.

Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing received a cart of things sent by Su Liang the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qiu Cong was very touched, but also a little depressed, because he could imagine how lively the Su Mansion in the capital would be during the festival, while he could only spend the winter in Xuanbei City in August with Qiu Jing in a cold and lonely time.

Qiu Cong put on the cloak sent by Su Liang and asked Qiu Jing how he was.

Qiu Jing nodded, "It suits Grandpa very well."

Qiu Cong took off his cloak and held it in his arms. After sitting down, he sighed, "I've waited so long, and no one came to assassinate you. How about I go home?"

Here it comes again...Qiu Jing nodded as usual, "Grandpa, go back if you want."

In fact, since the third day in Xuanbei City, Qiu Cong has said this every day. Qiu Jing completely understands his feelings, and every time he says that Qiu Cong can leave if he wants.

But the result is the same every time, and this time is no exception...Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiu Jing, "Who am I here for? You don't need it?"

Qiu Jing held his forehead, "I need it. Grandpa should stay." If he said Qiu Cong leave again, he would be beaten.

There is no way, it's just so weird. He wants to leave but doesn't really plan to leave, but Qiu Jing knows that Qiu Cong is doing it for him.

As for why Liangguo did not react to his betrayal, Qiu Jing felt that maybe it was just not the right time yet. He didn't believe that Situ Xie or Situ Han really cared about blood ties.

...

Yaocheng, Liangguo.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace had just ended, and Situ Han asked Situ Xie to come to the imperial study to talk.

Since Situ Han's facial paralysis last year was cured by Su Liang, he has been very careful to take care of himself to avoid being frozen or angry.

But when he saw Situ Xie, when Situ Han opened his mouth and said the three words "Situ Jing", his face still twitched uncontrollably, but fortunately it recovered quickly.

"Situ Jing's betrayal is not something that can be forgotten without mentioning it!" Situ Han said coldly.

The news was not received today, but Situ Jing returned to Yaocheng yesterday with the wedding team. Before that, they let the rumors spread, and they had not yet expressed their views on how to deal with the second prince Situ Jing.

Situ Xie's face was calm, "How does the emperor plan to deal with him?"

Situ Han snorted coldly, "If the emperor hadn't deliberately sent him to the Qian Kingdom without telling me, what happened today would never have happened! The son I recognized as my own son threatened to sever ties with me. He not only betrayed the Liang Kingdom and surrendered to Qian. He even became the commander of Xuanbei City and wanted to lead troops to attack Liang Kingdom! It’s so abominable!”

At this moment, it would be meaningless for Situ Xie to bring up the theory of "driving mad". No matter what thoughts or plans he had for Situ Jing, they had completely failed so far. And the so-called meticulous and most important grandson he carefully cultivated, apart from ruining his long-planned plan, did not bring any benefit to him or the Liang Kingdom!

Situ Han's accusation against Situ Xie cannot be said to be completely unreasonable.

"Now that things have happened..." A cold light flashed in Situ Xie's eyes, "It is impossible to make him change his mind. In this case, let's kill him."

Situ Han suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Situ Xie in disbelief, "What did you say? You want to kill my son? You once said that he was the grandson you spent the most effort to cultivate, and he was the one who broke the situation in Liang Kingdom. hope!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Getting angry is not good for your health." Situ Xie had obviously thought about it for a long time. "When I looked back at the events of the past two or three years, I found that the real change was not Situ Jing, but Su Liang and Gu Ling, or rather, Su Liang."

Situ Han frowned, "What exactly does the emperor want to say?"

"If it hadn't been for Su Liang, Gu Ling would probably still be living in seclusion somewhere right now, not caring about worldly affairs. If it hadn't been for Su Liang, Duanmu Chen would never have had the chance to sit on the throne so quickly. If it hadn't been for Su Liang, Situ Jing would have There have been conflicts and struggles, but in the end we will choose Liang Guo. That woman has ruined so many things for us, and if she continues, she will ruin everything for us!" When Situ Xie said the last sentence, his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

Situ Han frowned, "Uncle Huang blames all the failures on a woman. Don't you think it's embarrassing? Her best skill is medicine. Don't forget this."

"No," Situ Xie shook his head slowly, "What she is best at is controlling people's hearts."

"What does the emperor mean by saying this? If Su Liang is killed, will Gu Ling find a place to live in seclusion, Duanmu Chen's dragon chair will be gone, and Situ Jing will turn his heart to the Liang Kingdom?" Situ Han looked impatient. , "The top priority now is to quell the impact of Situ Jing's betrayal on the Liang Kingdom. If it cannot be dealt with properly, the morale of the military and the people will be shaken! The Situ family will also become the laughing stock of the world!"

"Kill Situ Jing first, and then find a way to deal with Su Liang. Gu Ling will not live in seclusion by then, but he will definitely collapse. Duanmu Chen has nothing to worry about without them as counselors!" Situ Xie said coldly.

"One is yours..." Situ Han almost said that Situ Jing is Situ Han's grandson. He paused and then said, "Gu Ling is A Ning's only son. Su Liang is pregnant with A Ning." Grandson, are you sure you want to do this?"

"If they don't do this, they will destroy the entire Situ family sooner or later." Situ Xie stood up and sighed, "My biggest mistake was that I was too soft-hearted towards Situ Jing and Gu Ling and did not do this earlier. But starting today , No more. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Situ Xie frowned in thought. After a while, he rubbed his forehead and said, "If Situ Jing dies, everyone in the world will think that I killed him. As the saying goes, even if you really want to get rid of him, there is no need to kill him. Find a way to bring him back from Xuanbei City and deal with it as for Gu Ling and Su Liang, it's up to the emperor to decide."

Hearing this, Situ Xie took a deep look at Situ Han, resigned and left.

After returning to Prince Yue's Mansion, Situ Jing was waiting for Situ Xie in the study. When he saw him, he asked, "Grandpa, what did the emperor say?"

"He asked Situ Jing to be brought back alive. He doesn't care what to do with Su Liang and Gu Ling." Situ Xie said coldly.

Situ Jing clenched his fists when he heard this, "Grandpa, have you seen it? There are so many people in the Situ family, and the only thing the emperor cares about is his own son. When I was arrested, how did the emperor care about my life and death? Now that Situ Jing has done that He is not willing to let his son die for such a treasonous act! If my grandfather is gone, how can our brothers, father and uncle survive? No matter how much effort my grandfather spends, he is not the one who makes the final decision on many important matters. He has no idea at all. While he relies on his grandfather, he is also afraid of him. If he has merit, he will be even more afraid. If there is any mistake, he will make a fuss and use it to show the emperor's majesty! "

When Situ Xie heard this, his expression became more and more gloomy.

Seeing this, Situ Jing said everything he had planned in his heart, "Grandpa has always been affectionate, but after the past two years, we should have seen that some people are just white-eyed wolves! Situ Jing is the one, especially Gu Ling. ! Even the emperor...if grandpa doesn’t make plans for our own family, the future of Prince Yue’s palace will be worrying!”

Situ Xie remained silent. He admitted in front of Situ Han that he had made a mistake and said he was too soft-hearted. Situ Jing also said that he was in the current situation because of his love.

But Situ Xie himself knew that this was not the case. The answer lies in what he said about Su Liang.

Situ Xie corrected Situ Han, saying that what Su Liang was best at was not medical skills, but controlling people's hearts. When he said those words, the unwillingness in his heart surged like a wave.

Because this was what Situ Xie thought he was best at. Otherwise, he would not have made Situ Han the emperor, otherwise he would not have helped Gu Ling regain his identity and behave obediently to him, otherwise he would not have sent Situ Jing to be a spy, and he would still think that he was a slave even after he had ruined something big. An important chess piece...

All these things that made Situ Xie regret now happened for only one reason: he thought he could control people's hearts and the situation. His arrogance made him underestimate how difficult Su Liang and Gu Ling were and how fatal a blow they would bring to him...

Absolutely, this can't go on... Situ Xie told himself.

"Is grandpa okay?" Situ Jing looked concerned.

Situ Xie came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay. You're right. If I had taken that step earlier, maybe everything would be different. Now, I can't wait any longer."

Situ Jing looked overjoyed, "Grandfather is wise!"

...

Three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, bad news came from the Liang Kingdom Palace: Emperor Situ Han accidentally fell when he got up at night and hit his head, and he was gone!

The imperial edict of succession, which Situ Han had ordered to be drafted and stamped when he had a stroke and facial paralysis last year, was found in the imperial study. It stated that if he died, for the stability and future of Liang, the throne would be abdicated to his uncle, the King of Yue, Situ Xie.

Situ Xie's people quickly controlled the palace and Situ Han's sons, and he suppressed his "sorrow" and took charge of the overall situation, becoming the new emperor of Liang. He was also the oldest emperor in the history of Liang to ascend the throne.

The former Queen Mother Min hanged herself three days after Situ Han's death and followed her son.

The former crown prince claimed that it was Situ Xie who murdered Situ Han and usurped the throne, and the edict was simply forged. Unfortunately, he had no ability and was soon placed under house arrest by Situ Xie in the name of "protection".

Situ Xie did not hold a grand coronation ceremony, and everything was kept simple. The first decree he announced after ascending the throne was a killing order for Situ Jing, who betrayed Liang: As long as Situ Jing's head is taken, a reward of 100,000 gold will be offered!

Situ Xie claimed that this was Situ Han's intention before his death. It was precisely because Situ Jing's betrayal completely broke Situ Han's heart, making him exhausted and mentally confused, that the accident happened.

Since the reward has been issued, all warriors in the world can take up this task, and the bounty is also a very attractive amount. It is enough to see the determination of the Liang royal family to kill Situ Jing.

"Grandfather, in this case, will my sister's situation in the harem of Gan Kingdom become more difficult?" Situ Jing looked worried.

Situ Xie shook his head, "No matter how many concerns we have, our indecision will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage. The matter is done, I will not order Yao'er to do anything for Liang State anymore. As for the rest, she should take care of herself!"
