The prince is very fierce

Chapter 40: Dark Moon, High Wind and Heavy Rain (136/449)

After walking around the island for a whole day, the sky turned dark, and Ning Qingye's whereabouts was still not found. The search for people was separate. Manzhi and Nightingale had already boarded the ship and left Junshan Island.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Buling had no choice but to give up the search and boarded the ferry back to Yueyang with Ning Yu, preparing to go back and discuss it. If Ning Qingye deliberately hid and did not show up, he would have to find other ways.

Xu Buling took the last ferry. The boat was not big, and the people on board were shop assistants and Lifu who were returning from the market. Many people lay down on the deck of the cabin to rest after a long day's work. Some men gathered together and told dirty jokes. A few women talked more aggressively than the men, and they laughed together.

Xu Buling's dress was incompatible with these people. He didn't want to disturb the common people who had worked hard for a day, so he did not enter the cabin and stood with Ning Yu at the bow of the ferry holding an umbrella.

After running around all day, Ning Qingye was nowhere to be found. Ning Yuhe and Wenjing's cheeks were obviously a little disappointed and exhausted. They were holding an oil-paper umbrella and looking at the dark lake, thinking about something.

Xu Buling stood in front and hesitated for a moment: "If Qing Ye refuses to come out, I will go to the Yamen tomorrow to say hello and send troops to search the island. I will sweep it like a carpet and I will definitely find it."

Ning Yuhe thought for a moment and turned his head: "Qingye is from Jianghu. Letting officers and soldiers search for him sounds like catching a thief..."

"Look for someone normally, don't think too much."

"I don't have anything..."

The weather was a bit cold. Ning Yu tightened her tight white skirt and sighed softly: "Qingye has a straight temper. Her family was purged by the government when she was a child. She is very resistant to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and may not be willing to do so. Moreover, her martial arts skills are not low. If you really want to hide it, the officers and soldiers won’t be able to find it..."

Xu Buling knew something about Ning Qingye's character and thought for a while: "If it doesn't work out, I'll just say something and tell the people who beat Yinglou to leave Qingye alone."

Ning Yuhe shook his head: "Baying Tower won't touch Qingye, I'm just afraid that Qingye will be stubborn."

Xu Buling didn't know the details of Li Hansheng, and Ning Qingye had never mentioned it to him. He was slightly surprised when he heard this:

"Qingye is still related to Dayinglou?"

Ning Yuhe sighed, hesitated, and finally said: "Li Hansheng is Qingye's biological father. At that time, Qingye's mother Pei Yun committed a crime and was arrested by the court and hid in a mountain stronghold in Shu. Li Hansheng ran to the capital to think about it. Seeking an official position. Later, when Tie Ying hunted the deer, the village was surrounded by the government, and Li Hansheng did not come back. Pei Yun was killed by the government in order to send Qing Ye out. From then on, Li Hansheng's temperament changed drastically. They turned against each other and never reunited, but after all, he is Qingye’s biological father, so he will definitely not do anything to Qingye..."

After Xu Buling listened quietly, she felt something was wrong - Manzhi and her father were at least second in command when they entered Eagle Tower. Li Hansheng is the leader of Dayinglou, and countless gangsters obey his orders. Now his relationship with Zhu Manzhi and Ning Qingye is unclear. If one day Li Hansheng and Zhu Liuyi jointly raise a banner to rebel, wouldn't his son-in-law be forced into a pirate ship?

"After a long time of work, is it still my people who are attacking Yinglou?"

"Qingye hates Li Han so much that she has long since severed the relationship between father and daughter and even changed her surname to mine."

Xu Buling frowned slightly - it was said that the relationship between father and daughter was severed, but the court did not recognize this. The nine implicated clans didn't care whether you were expelled from the family, as long as they were related by blood, even if they didn't know each other, they would still be cut off, let alone Father and daughter.

If Li Hansheng and Zhu Liuzhen took up the banner of rebellion, the court would investigate carefully and find that both of their sons-in-law were the princes of Prince Su. The court would not listen to his explanation. On his head, and then Song Jika cut off the feudal clan with a knife, he couldn't hand over Manzhi and Qingye to clear the relationship...

Thinking of this, Xu Buling rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache: "This matter is a bit troublesome. We have to find a way to distance ourselves from Dayinglou. If someone brings this matter out, something big will happen."

Ning Yuhe knew the stakes of this matter and comforted her softly: "Not many people know about this matter. I only say that Qingye is a wild girl I picked up."

"I'm afraid that Li Hansheng will take advantage of this relationship. With his reputation as a poisonous man, he may not be able to do such a thing. When the time comes that he points out the relationship between me and Qingye, the court will definitely hold him accountable. I can't arrest Qingye. In order to prove one's innocence, not arresting him is tantamount to openly defying the emperor's name..."

Ning Yuhe frowned: "Although Li Hansheng's methods are ruthless, he is also seeking revenge for his dead wife. He shouldn't even use Qing Ye's safety to coerce you, right?"

"It's important to be on guard against others, who knows..."

Xu Buling sighed and said no more.

Ning Yuhe pursed his lips, but he didn't know how to deal with this troublesome relationship. He could only stand next to Xu Buring and think with him.

Soon, the ferry docked at the pier, and the Lifu store clerks got off the boat one after another. Xu Buling and Ning Yu walked along the small street, passed through the house where Lifu and the boatman lived, and turned back to the boat on the lakeside.

The night wind is cold and drizzle.

The ferry is located on the edge and mainly transports tourists and goods nearby. The surrounding houses are also inhabited by poor families.

In the night, the lights were dim and there were constant noises. There were laughter and curses coming from the gambling house bars. Some men who had lost completely were thrown out of the gambling stalls and thrown into the muddy streets. There were also ordinary-looking women with half-undressed clothes leaning against their backs. In front of the wine shop, he looked around to look at the suitable rich man.

When walking through a place like this, both the master and the disciple naturally looked at each other intently. However, the sound insulation effect of the hook rails on the bottom floor was not very good. The two of them had good ears and eyes. They could obviously hear the "snap, bang, bang, bang" and the sounds of men and women in the hook rails. respite.

"Um...ah~ don't be like this..."

Xu Bu Ling's eyes were always pure and unmoved, but Ning Yuhe was not so enthusiastic. Even if he was a monk, he could not pretend to be indifferent. His face turned red imperceptibly, and he walked over quickly.

Xu Buling looked at his silly Baitian master, feeling a little funny in his heart, but he didn't feel bad about it. He walked side by side with Ning Yu through the small market and stepped onto a stone arch bridge.

There are no houses at either end of the stone bridge, and there is a raging river below. There is no one in front or behind, and the road can only be identified by the faint light from the street market in the distance.

Ning Yuhe was definitely not afraid of the dark, but he had just heard the sound in the hook fence. There was something wrong with the atmosphere when a man and a woman were alone together. Ning Yuhe thought for a while and introduced:

"When it doesn't rain, the scenery here is very beautiful. The last time Manzhi and I came here, we saw many young people playing here..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yuhe found that the apprentice beside him stopped on the arch bridge.

Ning Yuhe stopped on the stone arch bridge and looked back and forth. There was no one around, and he felt something was wrong:

"Ling'er, what's wrong?"

Xu Buring said nothing.

Ning Yuhe wanted to look around, but found that the always polite apprentice suddenly pulled her into a bear hug.

"Ah - Ling'er, don't be like this..."
