Chapter 303: The sweetest in the world

Su Liang ordered the stationed army at Nanshan City to withdraw to Jiaye City. Once Gu Ling released Fan Tong, the Yin Country’s army might very well attack again.

Originally, Su Liang wanted Lian Shun to stay in Nanshan City to recuperate, but Lian Shun insisted on going back with them. So, Su Liang found wooden boards and cloth bands to fix Lian Shun’s injured arm.

When Che Yun’s parents wanted to stay in Nanshan City to wait for their son, Su Liang arranged someone to protect them.

“Gu Xiaoling is amazing!” Lian Shun exclaimed, “I really admire him!”

Su Liang: Yes, so do I.

Soon, the army was assembled, and the ships were prepared. Su Liang gave the order to set off.

The sun was shining, and a gentle breeze blew. Su Liang stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the eastward-flowing river water, and asked, “Are there fish in the river?”

Lian Shun, who was standing beside her, immediately nodded, “Of course! The

Liuxian River’s specialty carp has a delicate and delicious texture.”

“Great,” Su Liang thought about rewarding Gu Ling, knowing he loved eating fish.

“Su Xiaoliang, you haven’t told me who decided to get married first, you or Gu Xiaoling?” Lian Shun asked curiously.

Su Liang told the truth, “Me.”

Lian Shun grinned, “I knew it! I never thought that one day you would be the one chasing someone else! If it was anyone else, they would have been the wrong choice, but that is the most beautiful and powerful Gu Xiaoling!”

Then, Su Liang asked Lian Shun a bizarre question, “If Gu Ling and I both fall into the river, and neither of us can swim, whom would you save if you only have time to save one person?”

Lian Shun paused for a moment, and said seriously, “No matter what, I won’t separate you two. I won’t save either of you! You can both transform into a pair of lovebirds and fly away.”

Su Liang’s tone was wistful, “Let’s end our friendship.” The words sounded very much like Gu Ling’s words to Nian Jincheng.

At this moment, Nian Jincheng was leading reinforcements on the way to them but had not yet arrived.

The large ship docked, and Lian Shun, with only one hand able to move, insisted on riding a horse. Su Liang helped him up.

As they approached the North Gate of Jiaye City, they received a new report that the last of Yin Country’s troops was leaving through the South Gate.

Su Liang looked back and saw a white figure amidst the dense crowd: Yuan Pei, the grandson of Yuan Ye. Everyone thought that Gu Ling would release Fan Tong after all of Yin Country’s troops left. However, she suddenly felt that might not be the case…

The North Gate opened wide, and the anxious common people came out of their homes, cheering to welcome the returning Liang Country’s Southern Army.

Su Liang hurriedly rode towards the South Gate and received another report on the way, confirming her suspicion: Gu Ling refused to let Fan Tong go, and the troops from Yin Country remained outside the South Gate, ready to attack at any time.

Lian Shun’s expression tightened, “Hurry!”

As Su Liang led her troops and approached, she saw a dark figure standing on Nancheng Building from afar, basking in the sunlight and warm breeze, with his clothes fluttering as if he was a Great God.

It was Gu Ling, holding a bow and arrow, aimed at Fan Tong, the General of the Yin Country, who was suspended from a flagpole.

Su Liang gave the order, and the Liang soldiers who had arrived first began to set up defenses, preparing to face the enemy.

Hearing the noise, Gu Ling turned back and saw Su Liang leaping from her horse, her toes lightly touching the ground as she flew towards him.

The little girl is so beautiful… This was what Gu Ling thought. Fan Gang, who had been waiting below anxiously for a chance to strike, thought he finally caught Gu Ling off guard. At his command, several arrows whistled through the air, aiming straight for Gu Ling’s heart.

Without dodging or hiding, Gu Ling seemed oblivious to the danger.

Under the watchful eyes of both armies, Su Liang descended from the sky, landing beside Gu Ling. Her sword danced, deflecting all the arrows that were aimed at him.

So beautiful… Many people couldn’t help but marvel at the pair standing high up on the city building.

Su Liang still had the mood to joke around, “Thank you, Great God, for giving me the opportunity to play the hero who saves the beauty.”

Gu Ling shook her head slightly and repeated a line that Su Liang had once said, “Beauty saves the hero, very classic.” (Source: ‘Wulin Gaiden” Guo Furong)

Su Liang chuckled lightly, standing side by side with Gu Ling, looking down at the dark mass of Yin Country’s army below, “Which one of you is the son of the rice bucket?”

As soon as these words came out, a burst of laughter erupted from Jiaye City.

Fan Gang, who was protected in the middle, stared fiercely at the delicate figure beside Gu Ling, “You treacherous little man! Release my father quickly!”

“Treacherous?” Su Liang laughed coldly, “If I remember correctly, the last time Yin Country sent an envoy, they said a lot of hoping for peaceful coexistence in front of our emperor. Who was the one who broke their promise and started the war first? If we are little men, are you even human?”

Due to geographical reasons, Qian Country didn’t want to actively fight Liang Country or Yin Country. Su Liang’s words were fair and unyielding.

Fan Gang’s face turned red and his neck thickened with anger, “You! Enough with the nonsense! What do you want?”

Su Liang exchanged a glance with Gu Ling, then looked back at Yuan Pei, who was dressed in mourning clothes and mounted on a horse below, beckoning for him to come up.

Gu Ling put down her bow and arrow and went to untie Fan Tong, who was hanging on the flagpole.

Su Liang looked at Fan Gang again, “I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the saying, debtor’s father, son repaying.”

Fan Gang gritted his teeth, “What do you mean?”

“You don’t understand? Your father owes a debt, and it’s only right and proper for you to repay it. You can even establish yourself as a good filial son. I don’t know if you’re willing?” Su Liang sneered.

“What debt? Nonsense!” Fan Gang roared.

“It seems you have a bad memory.” Su Liang watched Yuan Pei walk over, pointed at him, and asked, “Do you recognize this young master?”

As soon as Fan Gang saw the mourning clothes on Yuan Pei’s body, he reacted, albeit slowly, but stubbornly said, “I don’t know him!”

“Then let me tell you. This is the grandson of General Yuan from Jiaye City of Qian Country. Do I need to remind you why he is dressed in mourning clothes? General Fan!” Su Liang’s voice suddenly turned cold, “My Qian Country has always pursued peace, and the common people live happily without disputes. Yin Country tore up the agreement and attacked us without reason. They captured the weak and elderly women and children of the Lin Family and set a cruel trap to kill General Yuan. This debt of blood must be paid with blood by

Yin Country!”

Yuan Pei looked at Su Liang, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes reddened.

The soldiers of Qian Country nearby were also excited, and one of them shouted, “Blood debts must be repaid with blood!” Soon, countless echoes resounded like rumbling tides, rushing towards Yin Country’s army outside the city.

Su Liang looked at Fan Gang coldly, waiting for the surrounding voices to die down before speaking again, “Blood debts must be repaid with blood, but I kindly give General Fan an opportunity to be a good son, and you can choose to repay your father’s debt. General Fan, it’s very simple to save your father, just exchange your life for his. How about it?”

The middle-aged man behind Fan Gang stared at Su Liang intently, what a move to kill people and punish the heart!

Su Liang made it clear that one of the Fan family father and son must pay for Yuan Ye’s death with their lives. She gave the choice to Fan Gang, and no matter who died, the one who survived would have to endure a lifetime of pain and torment. This was what they deserved!

War has no mercy, but since Yin Country began to use despicable means, don’t blame Su Liang and Gu Ling for taking revenge!

Fan Gang couldn’t see Su Liang’s expression clearly, but he immediately broke out into a cold sweat, and when the wind blew, his body involuntarily trembled a bit. He turned to look at the strategist who was behind Fan Tong, “What do we do now? Hurry up and think of a way!”

They thought Gu Ling was really going to exchange herself for Lian Shun, but instead, Fan Tong got captured. They thought that as long as they retreated, Fan Tong could naturally return, but they didn’t expect that Gu Ling had been unconventional from the beginning, and Su Liang’s methods were so tough! It had to be said that the so-called “winning the first battle” made the people of

Yin Country too arrogant because of Qian Country’s concessions due to the Lin Family members.

The middle-aged man sighed, “Ask her if she can exchange the general for something else.” There was uncertainty in his tone.

Fan Gang looked at Su Liang again, “As long as you let my father go, you can name your price!”

Su Liang laughed lightly, “I’ve already said, I can let your father go, the condition is your head, I don’t need anything else.”

Fan Gang’s face turned green with anger, but it was obviously too hard for him to send himself to death. He could only try to stall for time, “This matter, I need to report to the emperor for a decision!”

Su Liang shrugged slightly, “Is it so hard to be a filial son? Then do your duty and mourn for your father!” He handed the sword in his hand to Yuan Pei, who was not far away, “Young Master Yuan, no need to be polite.”

Yuan Pei took Su Liang’s sword and gripped it tightly, walking towards Fan Tong, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

Gu Ling bent down, grabbed Fan Tong’s collar, and dragged him up, standing on the parapet so that Fan Gang and the other Yin Country people below could see clearly.

“Stop! How dare you!” At this point, Fan Gang had only the rage of helplessness. The guard troops of Jiaye City were returning one after another, and if they hadn’t set a trap to kill Yuan Ye and forced Che Yun to retreat by using Lin Family members as hostages, the impregnable Jiaye City would not have fallen.

Thus, when the city gate of Jiaye City closed, it would not be so easy for them to come in again. Moreover, Fan Tong’s life was still hanging on the city building, so they didn’t dare to act rashly.

The situation had turned around yesterday when Fan Tong agreed to Gu Ling to exchange Lian Shun.

Su Liang sneered, “General Fan, there’s still a chance now. Before Young

Master Yuan plunges the sword into your dad’s heart, you can stop it anytime.”

Fan Gang’s face changed rapidly, and he was almost driven mad. He could only keep shouting for them to stop, but he had nothing else to say.

Yuan Pei had already walked to Gu Ling’s side, the long sword in his hand flashing with cold light, pointing at Fan Tong.

“Wait a moment.” Su Liang suddenly spoke up, walked over and stuffed a pill into Fan Tong’s mouth. The sedatives Gu Ling used were made by her, so of course, she had the antidote.

Then Su Liang raised her hand and fiercely slapped Fan Tong twice, forcing him to wake up.

Fan Tong slowly regained consciousness, his face stinging. He first saw Gu

Ling, and his eyes suddenly turned fierce. The last memory in his mind was Gu Ling dragging him into the dense forest, knocking him out with a slap, and then he knew nothing more.

“General Fan Tong, my name is Su Liang. You are on the city building of Jiaye City. Your son has withdrawn his troops for your sake, but unfortunately, he is unwilling to exchange his life for your safety.” Su Liang coldly informed Fan Tong of the fact that he was about to be executed.

“How dare you!” Fan Tong’s expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened like copper bells. He wanted to devour Su Liang alive, “If you dare touch me, go and collect the bodies of Lin Family members!”

Su Liang sneered lightly, “It seems that General Fan hasn’t figured out the situation yet. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll give you three breaths to say goodbye to your good son.”

Fan Tong’s face stiffened, and he finally realized that the situation had been completely controlled by the Qian Country, and Su Liang intended to execute him in public!

Fan Tong glanced down at Fan Gang and quickly calmed down, “General Su, let’s talk about it. Killing me doesn’t benefit you at all.”

Su Liang snorted coldly, “Blood for blood, do I need to remind General Fan of what he has done?”

Fan Tong’s eyes fell on Yuan Pei, his heart sinking, but he still refused to give in, “General Su, we each have our masters, and I have no grudge with General Yuan, I just followed orders…”

“What a joke! Fan Gang, go back and tell your emperor that your dad said it was Emperor Yin who ordered him to kill General Yuan of Qian Country! This debt, we won’t forget to settle it with Emperor Yin later!” Su Liang said coldly to the people below, “Time’s up! Young Master Yuan, send General Fan on his way!”

Fan Tong’s face was full of horror, but he was held by Gu Ling and couldn’t move. He watched as Yuan Pei stabbed his sword, piercing through his clothes, flesh, and heart…

Down below, Fan Gang roared and ordered to attack Jiaye City.

But the enraged Yin Country army, that had just been subjected to Fan Tong’s public execution, seemed to be deterred. It took a while for them to react and start attacking the city gate of Jiaye City.

As Su Liang let Yuan Pei take action, Qian country’s army had already taken their positions, and their morale had been greatly boosted by their anger to avenge Yuan Ye and the pleasure of revenge.

Yuan Pei watched as Fan Tong took his last breath, pulled the sword out, cleaned it with his own clothes, and returned it to Su Liang before walking down the city building, without saying a word from beginning to end.

If a direct attack could capture Jiaye City, Yin Country would have done it long ago.

When Gu Ling threw Fan Tong’s corpse with unrelenting eyes off the city building, it fell among the Yin Country army. The nearly mad Fan Gang seemed to want to prove that he did care about his dad, probably not pretending, but this filial piety was not enough for him to sacrifice himself, nor did he care how many Yin Country soldiers he would have to sacrifice to vent his anger.

Su Liang did not order an attack to meet the enemy, because she knew that she could not afford to fight and did not want to fight.

It didn’t take long for Fan Gang to finally sober up somewhat, ordering a retreat and leaving with Fan Tong’s corpse.

Before leaving, he gave a vicious threat, vowing that Su Liang and Gu Ling would pay blood for blood.

Su Liang calmly replied, “I look forward to witnessing General Fan’s brilliant tactics.” However, she knew that Fan Gang was just a “child of privilege,” and it was only because of Fan Tong that he had his current status. After this failure, he would not have an easy time when he returned home.

Su Liang and Gu Ling exchanged glances, and she gave him a thumbs up with a smile, “Great God never disappoints.”

Gu Ling enjoyed Su Liang’s praise, but still couldn’t help but ask, ‘Weren’t you worried that I might get into trouble?”

As they walked down the city building together, Su Liang shook her head, “Of course I was worried.”

Gu Ling was slightly delighted in his heart, “What were you worried about?”

Su Liang said seriously, “Last night, there was thunder and lightning, and I was really worried that the Great God would go into the dense forest, take shelter from the rain under a tree, and get struck by lightning.”

Gu Ling paused briefly, walked past Su Liang to the front, and gave her a silent back, letting her think about it on her own…

Su Liang laughed and caught up with him, “I’m not joking.” She had really considered such a possibility for a moment yesterday.

Gu Ling: .

“Gu Xiaoling!” Lian Shun rushed over looking anxious, “I’m glad you’re okay!

Where are my family members?”

Gu Ling replied indifferently, “They are in the cabin in the Orange Garden.”

Lian Shun was stunned, “My family’s Orange Garden?” How did Gu Ling think of hiding people there?

“Yes.” Gu Ling nodded, “I’ve stolen oranges from there three times.”

Lian Shun burst into laughter, “How could you be so cute, Gu Xiaoling? Come on, help me get on the horse!”

Gu Ling reached out, gave Lian Shun a hand, and after he got on the horse, he rode away, “You must stay at my house! And you have to show your commitment to me again in my presence, otherwise, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life!”

“Are his family members all right?” Su Liang asked Gu Ling.

Gu Ling shook his head, “His sister was injured, but her life is not in danger.”

Su Liang let out a sigh of relief, “As long as they’re alive. We’ll wait for Emperor Yin’s decision when the time comes. It’s unlikely that Yin Country will strike back.”

“I’m hungry.” Gu Ling looked at Su Liang.

For some reason, Su Liang felt like Gu Ling was acting coquettish? It must be her illusion. She smiled and said, “Lian Shun said that the carp from Liuxian River are very delicious. I asked someone to catch a few. How do you want to eat them? You have worked hard, so today you can order anything you like. Or, Great God, do you want to cook them yourself?”

“No.” Gu Ling shook his head, “I’m tired and hungry.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll do it. If you have any other requests, just let me know. You’re the boss.” Su Liang’s face was filled with a pleasing smile.

People nearby secretly watched, thinking that Su Liang really loved and admired Gu Ling. It was clear that she was trying to make him happy!

“So, within today, whatever I say goes?” Gu Ling asked.

Su Liang agreed without hesitation, “Deal!”

“Then let’s go fishing.” Gu Ling thought for a moment. The weather was so nice; he didn’t want to see anyone else, only wanting to be with Su Liang. Su Liang held her forehead, “As long as you’re happy.”

When Lian Shun brought his family members back home and went to find Su Liang and Gu Ling, he was informed that the two had gone fishing outside the city and didn’t want anyone to disturb them.

With a face that seemed to say “my favorite couple not only became a reality, but they are also the sweetest in the world,” Lian Shun sighed, “How wonderful! I’m just waiting to hold my grandchild now!”
