Chapter 132 I'm Going to Xiliang

Fine wine and delicious food are served.

Lu Xingzhan rushed over and finally got his wish. When he saw Baili Shouyue, whom he had long admired, he was stunned.

He had seen Baili Shouyue once before on Yuhua Mountain. On his grandmaster's birthday, Liang Jiang secretly led him down the mountain, where he saw Baili Shouyue kneeling upright at the foot of Yuhua Mountain, his hair and eyebrows covered with snow.

Liang Jiang stepped forward, took out the wine she had taken from the birthday banquet from her bosom, and handed it to Baili Shouyue to warm him up.

He knew that Baili Shouyue was a disciple of Yuhua Mountain who had committed a mistake and been expelled from the mountain gate, so he only glanced at him and ignored him.

Later, Liang Jiang would sneak down the mountain every year to deliver wine to Baili Shouyue, but he never went.

Upon learning his identity today, Lu Xingzhan was extremely annoyed by his past disrespect and immediately became much quieter.

Liang Jiang thanked Baili Shouyue for saving her today, and then asked the question that had been bothering her: "After we had dinner last time, Junior Uncle, you left the capital, saying you were going to settle some personal grudges. Why did you end up in the military camp?"

Baili Shouyue downed the wine in his bowl: "Last time I came to the capital, it was only at the invitation of the Prince to help him clear up the misunderstanding between you and me. There are still some of those who sent me the golden birthday god, intending to stir up trouble between us, and the score has not yet been settled."

After leaving the capital, I inquired about the whereabouts of this fugitive, but he proved to be truly cunning, escaping several times. I followed him all the way back to the capital and entered the military camp.

I thought I might as well go all the way and kill Tong Shouliang as well, so I hid in the military camp and didn't leave for the time being. Who knew that before I could even make a move, I happened to run into the soldiers training today.

Now that my identity has been exposed, I will leave the capital tomorrow.

"Why are you so anxious?"

“Tong Shouliang sent that man to Xiliang yesterday. I can still catch up with him and take his life.”

Liang Jiang and Gu Xizhi were both taken aback: "What are you going to Xiliang for?"

"It seems they went to deliver a message to Huyan Chao."

Liang Jiang immediately became excited: "If I intercept this letter, wouldn't I have evidence that Tong Shouliang is a traitor?"

Baili Shouyue shook his head: "If that's really the case, how could I let him leave Shangjing safely? I would have him tied up and handed over to you as soon as he left the military camp."

Unfortunately, Tong Shouliang was suspicious and wouldn't easily give anyone a handle against him; what he let that person take away was a bird.

"Birds?"

"Yes, Tong Shouliang did not tell that person what message he needed to pass on to Huyan Chao. He only asked him to bring a myna bird to Huyan Chao."

"Could it be that he wants to use the myna bird to pass on a message?" Liang Jiang said with annoyance, "I heard that some people use specific foods or code words as the key to get the myna bird to speak before training it to talk, so the myna bird will not easily reveal anything."

Gu Xizhi was also somewhat disappointed: "Tong Shouliang is indeed cautious. Even if we can intercept this person, he should know nothing about the dealings between Tong Shouliang and Huyan Chao. Let alone a bird. Even if we can get it to talk, it cannot be used as evidence."

Liang Jiang pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "Then I will go to Xiliang myself. I refuse to believe that I cannot find evidence of their treason."

"Have you made up your mind?" Gu Xizhi asked.

“Of course,” Liang Jiang replied without hesitation, “I have been waiting for a long time to offer the blood of Huyan Chao to my father’s spirit. As long as we can find a way to bring him to justice and confirm his crimes, his conspiracy with Tong Shouliang will naturally be exposed to the world.”

Baili Shouyue laughed loudly: "Good girl, you truly deserve to be a disciple of Yuhua Mountain. Rather than staying in the capital and being at a loss, it's better to venture into the tiger's den and win through danger. I, your junior uncle, will accompany you on this trip."

Liang Jiang smiled and readily agreed, "Alright. With Junior Uncle's help, Liang Jiang has nothing to worry about on this trip."

"Then when do you plan to leave?"

Liang Jiang thought for a moment: "There are still some trivial matters at the Duke's mansion that I need to take care of before I can set off. At the very least, please give me two more days."

Baili Shouyue nodded slightly: "I'm a bachelor, with no relatives or friends, and I can leave at any time. Let's make a date, two days from now, at the Ten Mile Pavilion in the west of the city, see you there."

"Okay, see you there or see you!"

The two readily agreed to the deal.

Lu Xingzhan couldn't wait any longer: "I'll go with you!" Liang Jiang refused without hesitation: "I've just taken over the Duke's business, and things aren't stable yet. My second uncle is still watching closely, secretly using some underhanded tactics. I'm really worried about leaving the capital now, not only for the business but also for my mother. So I'm entrusting her to you."

Lu Xingzhan was very unhappy: "Doesn't Auntie still have Xie Fubai, her godson?"

This guy's got some good information.

Liang Jiang chuckled and said, "But you're practically my mother's own son, so it's easier to order you around."

“A half-son is a son-in-law, I’m not going to take advantage of you like that,” Lu Xingzhan said disdainfully. “Anyway, I’m only in charge for a month, and after that, I’ll wash my hands of it. I mean what I say.”

Anyway, you must come back safely. Don't think that just because you've entrusted everything to me, you can go all out and risk everything.

Liang Jiang readily agreed: "Alright! I'll definitely be back in a month. Otherwise, wouldn't all the power I've worked so hard to build be given to you?"

Then she turned to Gu Xizhi and said, "It's a pity that I didn't have time to come back for the Prince's wedding banquet. Today, I'll offer a toast to the Prince in advance and wish you both a long and happy life together."

Gu Xizhi stood to the side, stroking the teacup in her hand, remaining silent the whole time.

Hearing Liang Jiang's words, she didn't explain anything, picked up her teacup, and said lightly, "Thank you."

Liang Jiang smiled and downed the wine in her cup.

This wine is so bitter, it doesn't taste good at all.

Upon returning to the Duke's mansion, it was already dark. Liang Jiang then took her pillow and went to Lady Liang's room.

Fueled by alcohol, he begged and pleaded to sleep with Madam Liang.

Lady Liang had no choice but to comply.

Liang Jiang nestled in Lady Liang's arms and told her about what had happened on the training ground that day, how the Liang family army surrounded her, cheered excitedly, and shed tears after she defeated Tong Zhao'er.

She said that one day, if her father could be exonerated, she wouldn't have to work so hard, and she could stay at home with her mother every day.

It is said that Lu Er has returned.

She said that she and Lu Er had earned enough money from doing business over the years to ensure her mother's comfort for the rest of her life.

Madam Liang felt that her daughter was talking strangely today, thinking that she had drunk too much. So she scolded her in a low voice, telling her to take care of her health in the future. As a girl, she should not drink alcohol or make herself too tired.

As they talked, Liang Jiang had already snuggled up beside her and fallen asleep.
Her long eyelashes concealed the weariness in her eyes, and her cheeks were rosy.

Feeling guilty, she gently covered her with the cool blanket.

The next morning, someone knocked on the door of the Duke's mansion.

Lu Xingzhan rushed in anxiously, saying that there had been a problem with the business and he urgently needed Liang Jiang to come over.

Liang Jiang also pretended to be very anxious, entrusting Madam Liang and business matters to Lu Xingzhan and asking him to take care of them.

With everything settled, Liang Jiang rode swiftly away from the capital, heading straight for Xiliang.

The two maids, Yu Shu and Yu Hua, were responsible for contacting Feng Ying Pavilion and then went to the Xiliang border to meet up.

As soon as the fast horse left the capital, Liang Jiang encountered Gu Xizhi and Guan Qi at the long pavilion on the official road.

Two horses were grazing leisurely by the roadside, while the master and servant sat under the shade of a tree, clearly having waited for quite some time.

Upon seeing Liang Jiang's horse, Guan Qi immediately jumped up and waved to Liang Jiang from afar.

"Miss Liang! Grandma, I'm here!"
