The prince is very fierce

Chapter 21 Zhongli Jiujiu

In the courtyard of Yongfengcang, about thirty gangsters were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, silently. Zhu Manzhi's big eyes were full of excitement. He buried his face in Xu Buling's chest and rubbed it, "咿咿吖吖吖" ' is incoherent.

Xu Buling must have missed the pistachio branches. He held his round face in his hands and was about to take a few sips when he saw the master, who had always been as gentle as water, picking up the small wooden stick on the ground and walking towards him with murderous intent. behind.

Xu Buling thought something was going on, so he looked back, only to see Zhong Jiu, who was following him, had wide-eyed fox eyes, his hands curled up on his chest and his face full of fear, looking at him pitifully.

I'm going to...

Xu Buling felt anxious and quickly let go of Xiao Manzhi, ran over and grabbed the stick that Master was about to hit, and said urgently:

"Master, what are you doing?"

After Zhu Manzhi discovered this situation, he hurriedly ran into the house, picked up the small bowl of melon seeds, and sat on the bench under the eaves, staring intently.

Ning Yuhe was obviously really angry. He looked at the apprentice who was standing in front of him: "Your Majesty, get out of the way!"

Zhong Jiu did not hide or evade, but just stood there with guilt in his eyes, his eye circles red:

"Mr. Xu, let her fight. It was my fault in the past that I let her vent her anger..."

"you--"

Ning Yuhe, who was originally as gentle as water and made people feel like a spring breeze, was now full of anger. When Xu Buling grabbed the stick, he raised his finger to pretend to be pitiful Zhong Jiu:

"Ye Jiuniang! Do you still have the nerve to pretend to be wronged?..."

Xu Buring didn't hear Ye Jiuniang's confusion, but he still stopped the angry-faced master and said with a pleasant expression:

"Don't get excited. I've heard everything about what happened to you back then. It was all a small misunderstanding..."

"Small misunderstanding?"

When Ning Yuhe saw that Xu Buling was actually protecting the other party, it was like a young daughter-in-law catching an adulterer and finding her husband talking to the vixen. Their eye circles suddenly turned red. They looked at Xu Buling and asked:

"Ling'er, why are you with her? She is very good at deceiving people. Not one of her ten words is true. She is just a scumbag..."

Zhong Jiu didn't reply when she was scolded like this, she just sobbed twice: "Mr. Xu, just let her scold me. I'll be fine..."

"you-"

When Ning Yuhe saw that the other party was still pretending to be pitiful, he didn't care about his ladylike demeanor and immediately rushed over to take action.

Xu Buling had a good impression of Zhong Jiu, and he followed him here. He definitely couldn't let his master beat him up, so he hugged his master's waist and pulled him back with all his strength. Seeing both women crying, he didn't dare to say harsh words, so he could only offer kind words:

"Master, calm down. There are many people here. Let's find a secluded place to sit down and chat slowly."

Ning Yuhe didn't know how much grievance he had suffered in the past. He didn't even care about being held in his arms by his apprentice. He just stared at Zhong Jiu:

"Get out of here. If I see you again, I will break your legs..."

Zhong Jiu was timid and timid, and said softly: "Yu He, I was young and ignorant back then..."

"Are you worthy of calling me by my name?"

Noisy and chattering.

Xu Bu Ling felt his head was heavy, and he quickly waved his hand to Man Zhi'er to stop watching the show and lead the way to a secluded place to smooth things over.

Zhu Manzhi then ran over and helped comfort Ning Yuhe. Together they left Yongfengcang and found a stone pavilion along the Danjiang River to sit down and talk.

In the small stone pavilion, Zhong Jiu and Ning Yu sat together at both ends, and Xu Buling stood in the middle to prevent the angry master from beating Miss Zhong to death.

Zhu Manzhi, with a face full of sadness, sat next to Ning Yuhe and offered kind words:

"Sister Daning, please calm down, that girl doesn't look like a sinner..."

After the initial excitement, Ning Yuhe's mood stabilized a bit now. He looked at the 'ignorant' apprentice and said seriously:

"Ling'er, you must never be deceived by her. Drive her away now. You can't believe a word she says."

Zhong Jiu looked a little ashamed, sighed quietly, and stood up:

"Well, since Miss Ning doesn't want to see me so much, I'd better go..."

Xu Bu Ling was caught in the middle and naturally wanted to resolve the gap. He raised his hand to let Zhong Jiu sit down and looked at Ning Yuhe:

"Master, what misunderstanding do you have? Miss Zhong does not look like a person with evil intentions. Even though she behaved inappropriately when she was young, she now understands the truth and feels guilty..."

"She feels guilty?"

Ning Yuhe saw that Xu Buling was obsessed with beauty and said coldly: "Don't look at her appearance, she has a dark heart and is full of evil..."

Zhong Jiu twitched the hair beside his ears, a little innocently: "It's all in the past, Yuhe, please calm down."

Ning Yuhe was too lazy to talk to Zhong Jiu, so he held Xu Buling's hand and said seriously:

"Ling'er, do you know what she did back then?"

Xu Buling shook his head: "What's the matter?"

Ning Yuhe thought for a while before starting to talk about Zhong Jiu's many evil deeds back then:

"In those days, Xu Danqing was very famous for his paintings of beauties all over the world. Many women came to ask for paintings. Xu Danqing was a scholar, and when he painted beauties, he didn't just focus on their faces. He could only paint them if they were both beautiful, intelligent, talented and beautiful. But among them there was a man named 'Ye Jiu' This mother-in-law woman has no self-awareness at all. She is chasing her everywhere and forcing Xu Danqing to paint her. Moreover, he cannot paint just one picture of her. After painting her, he must not paint anyone else, and his evaluation must be higher than others..."

Zhong Jiu's face turned red, but he did not deny it: "I didn't go to Xu Danqing, it was Xu Danqing who met me. I was young at the time, so I made a small request, but it was negotiable. He just stopped painting, and then That’s why I’m angry…”

Ning Yuhe snorted coldly: "Xu Danqing met you? How come you, a wild girl who grew up in the ravines of Nanyue, met Xu Danqing by chance in Dayue's Imperial College? Do you dare to say that you didn't meet Xu Danqing on purpose? ?”

Zhong Jiu sighed: "Traveling in the world means running around. I am in awe of the Central Plains culture, so what if I go to the Imperial College to see..."

Xu Buling blinked, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Even if you really go to Xu Danqing, it won't be a problem. There are still many girls looking for Xu Danqing..."

Ning Yuhe frowned slightly: "Whether you go to find her or make that ridiculous and rude request, Xu Danqing felt that she was too utilitarian and didn't want to paint, so she got angry and chased Xu Danqing all over the world. If she couldn't say soft words, she would come. Seriously, poison Xu Danqing and won’t give him the antidote if he doesn’t agree. Do you think this is a human thing?”

"Well……"

Xu Buling blinked. In fact, he couldn't comment on it, because Xiang'er had also threatened and intimidated her before snatching away Miss Xiao's Bagui.

Zhong Jiu sighed faintly: "I told you that I was young and ignorant at that time, and all the literati were arrogant, so I just tried to scare Xu Danqing, who knew he was so cowardly. A person cannot stand without faith. If he didn't want to paint, he should rather die than surrender. I won’t really poison him to death…”

"Pooh-"

Ning Yuhe looked coldly: "You still have the nerve to say it? You are already poisoned, how can you not agree if he doesn't agree? You used dirty means to force Xu Danqing to agree to paint for you, and you blame him for not keeping his word?"

Zhong Jiu was also a little aggrieved: "When I saw his promise, I detoxified him, and then he vowed to paint for me, and according to the rules, I had to buy him a bottle of wine. I believed him at the time and ran all the way to Chang'an to give it to him I bought a bottle of wine, and then he went to draw you and then sealed it. This should be his fault, right? "

Xu Buling combed his hair and turned his head: "If this is really the case, we can't blame Xu Danqing for not keeping his word."

"I don't blame him." Zhong Jiu said with a bit of guilt on his face: "I was young and ignorant at the time, and I really lacked consideration."

Xu Buling nodded: "Master, knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements..."

"Will she realize her mistake?"

Ning Yuhe's face was cold and he continued: "She is just a messy shrew. Even if Xu Danqing had no choice but to lie to her, she should go to Xu Danqing to cause trouble. What does it have to do with me?"

Xu Buling sat in front of Ning Yuhe and said softly: "It must have nothing to do with Master, and she doesn't blame you..."

Ning Yuhe was angry and annoyed: "Do you believe her nonsense? At that time, Xu Danqing finished painting me and closed the book. She couldn't find Xu Danqing's person, so she came to trouble me, saying that I had robbed her. Bakui's position. I was a young lady in the Tang family, but she didn't dare to come over. But something happened and I was exiled to Changqingguan, so she came over..."

Zhong Jiu pursed her lips: "I...I just want to talk to you..."

"You call that a heart-to-heart talk?"

Ning Yu was in a hurry, holding Xu Buling's hand, her eyes full of annoyance:

"At that time, Qingye and I were dependent on each other. After she found Changqingguan, she came to ask me why I stole her Bakui. I explained to her, but she still refused to listen and insisted on me telling the world, saying, 'I am a monk anyway. It's not as good as her. Let her be the number one person in the world. It's a good thing that I didn't hit her..."

Xu Buling frowned and looked at Zhong Jiu.

Zhong Jiu's eyes were filled with shame: "It's true. I was only sixteen or seventeen at the time, and there was something wrong with my words..."

"It's not just your words that are inappropriate!" Ning Yuhe gritted his teeth like an aggrieved daughter-in-law complaining to her husband: "I didn't have the mind to talk to her at that time, so she started to be mischievous, knocking on the door during the day and night, and not letting Qingye and I rest. I went to beat her and she ran away, and when I came back she showed up again. Qingye was only eight years old at the time, and she was so angry that she couldn't eat... It didn't matter, after a few months she got used to it, and she started to change her tricks, attracting a lot of people. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants surrounded the Taoist temple, scaring me and Qingye so much that we didn't even dare to sleep, and even poisoned the pool..."

Zhong Jiu raised his hand hurriedly: "Don't slander anyone. It's not poisonous. It's just itching powder. Who asked you to take a wild bath..."

"Bah—you still have the nerve to explain?"

Ning Yuhe's eyes were full of annoyance: "I couldn't eat or sleep well at that time, so I struggled for a while. At first, I didn't want to trouble the senior Wudang, but she kept harassing me. I had no choice but to ask the senior Wudang to help. At first It was Master Qingxu who came over to reason with her and persuade her not to persist in her stubbornness. But she still didn't know what was wrong and said that she didn't kill people or set fire. Changqing Mountain was not built by Wudang. She lived in Changqing Mountain and raised insects and birds. What happened to Wudang? , almost made the young Master Qingxu angry to death, and then Chen Daozi came over and expelled her from the Central Plains arena..."

"Well……"

Xu Bu Ling's eyes were filled with astonishment. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He looked at Zhong Jiu, not knowing how to evaluate it. Such a fairy-like girl was too... too naughty when she was young...

Zhong Jiu waited for Ning Yuhe to finish speaking, and then sighed quietly: "I knew it was wrong to fight for the name at the time, but now I have thought about it and put down the false reputation long ago..."

Ning Yuhe didn't believe it at all: "Now that you've let it go, what are you doing back to the Central Plains? Why are you getting close to your child?"

Zhong Jiu twitched her hair beside her ears: "I am originally a traveler. It is normal for me to travel north and south. I also happened to meet Mr. Xu. I know some medical skills, so I thought of passing on the mantle..."

Ning Yuhe frowned slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood:

"Haha - you had a good idea. You couldn't grab the Eighth Leader, and now you come here to grab the apprentice..."

Zhong Jiu looked serious and sat up a little straighter: "Ning Yuhe, when I met Young Master Xu, I didn't know that you were his master. If you don't believe me, ask Young Master Xu, why did you ask me to steal your apprentice? It's not like I didn't know that you were his master. Disciple, I am more powerful than your disciple Ning Qingye, why should I fight with you..."

"..."

Xu Buling blinked, as if he understood why Zhong Jiu suddenly appeared in front of him, and was eager to accept him as his disciple...

After thinking for a moment, Xu Buling chuckled and said: "Miss Zhong is also from South Vietnam, does she know the newly promoted Eighth Leader Zhongli Chuchu?"

Ning Yuhe thought for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Her name is Zhongli Jiujiu."

"Um?"

Xu Buling was a little confused.

Zhongli Jiujiu's identity was revealed, but there was nothing strange in his eyes, and he nodded slightly:

"Chu Chu was brought out by me. She started to wander the world on her own two years ago. She also gained the reputation of Ba Kui herself. I have devoted myself to teaching my apprentices to save lives and heal the wounded, and I have long since given up on competing with you."

Ning Yuhe always felt that something was wrong, but she naturally didn't expect that Zhongli and Jiujiu would even compete with his apprentices, and if they couldn't compete, they would fight for love.

Seeing that Zhongli Jiujiu's conversation was very different from the past, and he didn't argue with her, Ning Yuhe was dubious and snorted lightly:

"As long as you figure it out... But you already have an apprentice, why do you want to accept your order as your apprentice?"

Zhongli Jiujiu looked calm: "I have something that I can teach, so I can naturally accept disciples to teach me. It is only natural that you and I will look to all corners of the world. Do you want to take care of this?"

"..."

Ning Yuhe frowned for a moment, then turned to Xu Buling:

"Ling'er, are you really ready to accept her as your teacher?"

Xu Buling chuckled lightly: "There are some residues of the Locking Dragon Gu, and it is difficult for the body to recover as before. Miss Zhong knows the method of warmth and nourishment, which can only be taught by becoming a master, so..."

Ning Yuhe frowned: "Listen to her nonsense, she is just a poisonous woman from the Miao border. Where did she come from?"

Zhongli Jiujiu saw Ning Yuhe directly destroying the situation, and immediately became anxious: "Ning Yuhe, I have been traveling around the world for so many years, and I have a problem with an expert master? What's wrong with the rules of the master? I am also doing it for Mr. Xu's good, what should I say? Like I want to harm him?"

Ning Yuhe snorted lightly: "It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change its nature. You should help my son to warm up his body first. If it is true, then we can talk about becoming a disciple."

Zhongli Jiujiu stood up and said, "The laws of our ancestors are immutable. In the worst case, we just don't save him. It's not me who is anxious." He said and left.

Xu Buling was a little helpless, and just as he was about to speak to dissuade him, Ning Yuhe pulled Xu Buling back:

"You let her go."

"..."

Zhongli Jiujiu paused, then turned around:

"That's all, it's Mr. Xu that I want to help, not you. If you complain, just complain. I'll just stay away from you in the future."

Ning Yuhe didn't believe in Zhongli Jiujiu's reformation at all, but Xu Buling kept Zhongli Jiujiu, and she couldn't force him to evict her, so she could only keep it in mind and stopped talking for the time being.

The scene finally stabilized. Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled Man Zhier, who had watched the show for a long time, and chuckled:

"It's all trivial. There's no need to be so angry. Let's talk about it when we get back."

When Zhongli Jiujiu saw that Ning Yu refused to let her go, she was secretly relieved. It would not be a day's work to seize the apprentice. As long as this hurdle is passed, there will be opportunities. He was not in a hurry at the moment, bowed to Xu Buling Yingying, then turned around and left the pavilion.

The four of them got on their horses. Ning Yuhe walked beside Xu Buling. He ignored Zhongli Jiujiu and asked:

"Ling'er, when did you come here? Do you have any news about Qingye? I haven't found anyone from Qingye for several months since I came back."

Xu Buling shook his head: "I just arrived and haven't inquired about it yet."

Zhu Manzhi walked on the other side and answered: "Sister Daning said that Xiao Ning may be at Cao's house in Yueyang. Why don't we go there together and have a look? We can still catch up on eating crabs now, but if it is later, we may not be able to..."

Xu Buling raised his head and looked up: "It's too late. The boat is parked at the foot of Wudang Mountain. Let's find an inn here to rest for the night. We will return to the boat tomorrow and then we will go to Yueyang together."

Zhu Manzhi nodded and asked curiously: "Is the young master going out to the world this time?"

"No, I'm going to Jiangnan to propose marriage."

"Um??"

Zhu Manzhi’s happy little face froze...
