Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 12: Will You Marry (3)
Xie Ziyu lowered his head and looked at the line of words again, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Last night he suddenly regained his memory and his mind was in a state of confusion. When he found out that he was married to Chuning, the first thought in his mind was that he was cheated by her. He lost his composure for a moment, so he walked away on the wedding night.

When he calmed down and remembered the whole story, he was shocked to realize that he really fell in love with her. He didn't want to admit it, but she had become a seed, which was buried in his heart when he was still a drop. This seed was buried with his own hands, so even if he recovered his memory, he would not be able to restore the disturbed heart to its original position.

But he didn't expect that the person he finally decided to accept after struggling all night would leave him a piece of paper and leave the book.

He curled his lips, looked up into the distance, and said silently: "Chuning, since you have provoked me, don't try to marry Youren."

When Chuning woke up, she found herself lying in a strange room. She looked around and found that it was an inn. She moved her body, feeling weak all over, even finding it difficult to raise her hands.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a slender figure walked in, dressed in brocade and jade belt, with a suave appearance, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand. Seeing her wake up, he said coolly, "Are you awake? Then get up and drink the medicine." .”

Chu Ning was startled: "You saved me?"

As soon as she spoke, she was startled by her own voice. Due to her frail body, her voice became much softer.

The man didn't answer, but asked instead: "Wearing a wedding dress but drinking in a restaurant, having a poisoning attack in the middle of the night and fainting by the side of the road, what is the identity of the girl? Could it be that she was abandoned?"

Chu Ning was silent for a while, and said: "Young master is right, the little girl Linglong, on the wedding night, her husband regretted the marriage, so she went to the restaurant to drink to relieve her sorrow, but this poison, but I don't know how she got it."

She really didn't know what other name to think of at the moment, so she could only borrow Yujin's former name for the time being!

"Linglong? It's a good name. It's just that the girl is so charming, but the husband wants to regret the marriage? Could it be that there is some hidden disease?" The man pulled up a chair and sat in front of Chuning, and asked earnestly.

Chu Ning really wanted to kick him, but unfortunately he was powerless, so he could only say: "Well, my husband has the habit of Long Yang."

Seeing the other party's stiff expression, Chuning couldn't help being in a good mood, but she still asked sincerely, "I don't know your benefactor's name?"

"My surname is Mu, and my name is Lian." The man handed the medicine bowl in front of her and said, "Drink it."

"Mr. Mu, my hands and feet are weak, can you help me up?" Chuning looked at him and asked.

Mu Lian stared at her for a while, and finally reached out to help Chuning up, took a pillow and put it behind Chuning.

Chu Ning secretly laughed in his heart, she was the one who served him in the past, how could she let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Master, master, I never thought that one day I would stand in front of you, and you would not recognize me sometimes!It seems that what you said before, "I can recognize you even when you turn into ashes" is really a joke.

That's right, Mu Lian is her master, although he never admits it.

They met seven years ago, when she was only nine years old, after the first attack of cold poison, she gradually became cold towards the general's residence.That day was the third day of the Lunar New Year, when her father returned to the border, she sat alone in the deserted yard, staring at the full moon in the sky, in a daze.

Suddenly there was a "plop", and someone fell from the roof. She looked over in surprise and found a young boy covered in blood and seriously injured.

She walked up to the boy.The boy reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, and murmured, "Help me."

That boy was Mu Lian, she rescued him, hid him in her room, and looked after him every day in fear.

But he was far calmer than her. After waking up, he was picky about the meals every day, not to mention simple, and ordered her to do this and that. Later, she lost her patience and directly sprinkled a handful of chili powder on his wound.So she feasted her eyes: the arrogant and hateful boy bit the quilt and cried, it was a heartbroken one.

And Chuning stood by and said sarcastic words: "Shh, don't cry out loud, it's not good to invite others."

The boy stared at her, obviously very powerful, but because of tears, he became pitiful.

That was probably the most embarrassing moment for Mu Lian. Later, he didn't dare to order her any more. After dinner that day, he suddenly asked, "How do you want me to repay you?"

Chuning blinked: "Are you literate? Do you know martial arts?"

Mu Lian nodded.

Chuning's eyes lit up: "Teach me how to read, teach me how to practice martial arts."

She can't be trapped in the General's Mansion ignorantly, she longs for the outside world and to control her own life, and Mu Lian is the enlightener sent by heaven.

Mu Lian really taught her how to read and practice martial arts seriously. Chuning was already smart, so in just one month, she could already know all the characters and remember all the moves Mu Lian taught.

On the day Mu Lian left, the moon was very round. She stood in the courtyard and watched him jump up to the roof. He said to her: "A Ning, practice martial arts well. In the future..."

"Wait for me to defeat you someday." Chuning said with a smile, pursing her lips.

He couldn't help smiling: "Okay, I'll wait."

It was a year after we met again, she was practicing martial arts in the yard, when she suddenly felt a palm wind coming towards her, she was taken aback, and went up to him, she was about to hit him, but suddenly stopped, and saw the handsome man The young man raised his eyebrows at her, with a bright smile and a frivolous tone: "A'Ning, do you miss me?"

Chuning took out a pack of chili powder from his arms and shook it in front of him: "My chili powder misses you a lot!"

Mu Lian's face suddenly turned pale, and he said listlessly: "I came here specially to see you, why don't you just greet me like this?"

"The humble house is simple, and there is no extra food to entertain you."

Mu Lian grinned: "I know, so today I will take you to have a full meal!"

That day, Mu Lian took Chuning out of the General's Mansion. It was the first time she walked on the streets of the imperial capital. Her eyes were full of the bustling street scene of the imperial capital. The unknown door opened to her unexpectedly. At that time, she knew that It's just the tip of the iceberg, what awaits her is a wider world.

Mu Lian took her to a full meal, brought her a whole box of books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and taught her a set of kung fu, he said, "Chuning, one day, you will impress others. "

Afterwards, he would come to see her once a year, and although he would die every time he came, she always took care of him with all her heart.He not only taught her literacy and martial arts, but also taught her the art of war and strategy, and the formation of the five elements.

Chuning knew that without Mu Lian, there would be no future for her.

"My lord, you can start your journey." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, and Chuning looked up. The man in Tsing Yi, gentle and elegant, was Mu Han.

Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, he met so many acquaintances today, he didn't expect Mu Han to be Mu Lian's.

"The girl is awake? Are you still feeling unwell?" Mu Han asked with concern when he saw her sitting.

"Except for weakness in hands and feet, there is no discomfort."

Mu Han nodded, "The girl's poison has invaded the viscera, and the antidote needs to be found as soon as possible, otherwise her life will be in danger."

Chu Ning was taken aback. This cold attack was worse than ever. She knew her situation very well. If Mu Lian hadn't rescued her this time, she might have entered the gate of hell.

However, the ghost doctor has passed away, and the antidote will never be found again.

"Isn't it just Xiao Xiaohan poison? What are you afraid of? There are many genius doctors in Xiling, so they can't cure it?" Mu Lian pouted.

"My lord is right. Miss, don't worry. It happens that we are going back to Xiling. You might as well accompany us. When we arrive in Xiling, I can recommend a miraculous doctor for you."

Chuning was silent for a while, she didn't even have the strength to get out of bed now, so it was not suitable for her to walk alone.If it was just Mu Han alone, she would be a little worried. Now that Mu Lian is here, it is really impossible. She just needs to reveal her identity, and there is no danger of her life.

So she nodded: "Then I will thank you two benefactors. When Linglong recovers, I will definitely repay you two."

"Come on, let's go." Mu Lian glanced at her and said.

"Engong, I can't get out of bed, can you trouble Engong..." Chu Ning looked at himself, and looked at Mu Lian with some embarrassment.

Mu Lian's expression was somewhat unwilling, but he just "hummed" and leaned over to hug Chuning.

Chu Ning was carried into one of the carriages, and Mu Lian arranged for a maid to ride with her in the carriage, seeing that Mu Lian was about to leave, Chu Ning quickly asked, "Grandpa, where is our next stop? "

"Lucheng." Mu Lian replied, and then walked to the carriage in front.

Lucheng?Chu Ning was overjoyed. It seemed that she was already some distance away from Cangdu. Lucheng was a transportation hub, and it was already close to the border. If you go west, you can go to Xiling, and if you go south, you can go to Dayu.

The carriage was a bit bumpy. In the carriage, Chuning thought about Mu Lian's performance just now. To him, she was a stranger. Even if he rescued her temporarily, he would not take her with him casually. It shows that she has usable value, but she can't think of what this value is for a while.

Chu Ning frowned slightly, unable to figure it out for a while, so he just closed his eyes and rested his mind.

In another carriage, someone was talking quietly.

"How?" Mu Lian glanced at Mu Han and asked.

"That small courtyard has been deserted, and all traces have disappeared."

Mu Lian frowned, originally wanted to find out the details of this Linglong, but unexpectedly there was no clue.

"Master, are you sure you want to bring this woman back to Xiling?"

Mu Lian suddenly smiled: "Take it, why not take it? Don't you think this Linglong looks like a person? And that person also got rejuvenation."

"Speaking of which, when I went to North Vietnam this time, my subordinates once rescued a couple in the desert of death. The woman claimed to have a hidden disease, and she was going to find a ghost doctor for treatment. It's a pity that as soon as I left Huolian Town, I lost my trace."

Mu Lian squinted his eyes: "If it's rejuvenation, it's true that it can't be diagnosed before the onset. It doesn't matter whether this Linglong is the same as the person you saved. Now that she is in our hands, that's enough."

After a pause, Mu Lian said again: "If she really has something to do with that person, then we have another bargaining chip in our hands."

When they arrived in Lucheng, it was already night, Chuning opened his eyes sleepily, the curtain was lifted, Mu Lian reached out to carry her out of the carriage, she looked up and found that they had arrived at an inn, the inn was brightly lit, It was very lively.

Mu Lian walked into the inn with her in his arms. Mu Han had already greeted the shopkeeper, and led Mu Lian to the lobby on the second floor: "My lord, the food is ready."

"Yes." Mu Lian nodded and asked Chuning, "Linglong, do you want to eat here or go to your room?"

"Of course I'm here with benefactor."

"The word 'engong' sounds very awkward, you can call me Mu Lian." Mu Lian frowned, put Chuning down, and helped her to sit on the chair.

"Yes, Mu Lian." Chuning smiled slightly, his voice as soft as a spring breeze.

The flowery smile made Mu Lian's heart skip a beat.

"Master, this ugly woman must be hiding from us, otherwise how could she not be found?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far away.

Chuning's back stiffened slightly, the voice was haunting!
She raised her head slightly, and who were those standing at the stairs, if not Xie Ziyu and Su Ye?
Xie Ziyu's eyes then fell on Chuning, and she froze immediately, but fortunately, he quickly looked away, and his eyes fell on Mu Lian.The corners of his lips twitched, and he stepped forward: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Mu, what a coincidence."

Mu Lian's face remained unchanged, and he drank a glass of wine: "It is said that His Highness King Rong has died in Beiyue, it seems to be a false rumor."

Xie Ziyu smiled lightly and did not defend himself: "It is said that King Mu never left the Xiling Mausoleum, but now it seems that it is also a false rumor."

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly understanding each other.

Chu Ning looked at Mu Lian in surprise, and her heart was rippling. She always knew that Mu Lian's identity was not simple, but she never thought it would be so.

King Mu, the most prestigious sixth prince of Xiling, is said to be proficient in both literary and martial arts. The selection of heirs in Xiling is not in order of heir apparent, so it is very likely that King Mu will become the future heir of Xiling.

Since he is King Mu, how could he be Mu Lian?Mu Lianzhi was his real name, and she was so naive that she didn't realize it.

Chuning's heart suddenly turned cold.

"Why is Linglong looking at me like that?" Mu Lianzhi noticed Chuning's gaze, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"I didn't expect my benefactor to be so honorable, and Linglong was terrified." Her voice was very gentle, like spring water, and it could melt people as soon as she opened her mouth. It didn't look like the real her at all.

Mu Lianzhi suddenly reached out and stroked Chuning's face: "You don't look scared."

Linglong smiled lightly, and that smile bloomed on her face, like a streamer in the dark night, shining brightly, she just heard her softly say: "Because you are Linglong's benefactor."

With all kinds of tenderness and all kinds of shyness, those who don't know will think that she is in love with him.

At this time, Xie Ziyu and Su Ye were already seated not far away. Seeing Chuning's smile, Su Ye leaned into Xie Ziyu's ear, frowned and asked, "Master, do you think she looks like a person?"

Xie Ziyu's eyes fell on Chuning again, and she was absent-minded for a moment. After a long while, she slowly said, "It's very similar." After a pause, she continued, "Find out her details."

"Yes." This time, Su Ye looked very serious.
