The prince is very fierce

The winter morning light shone throughout the Xiao Family Manor, dispersing the white fog. Two carriages were parked outside the Xiao Family's ancestral home. Xiao Ting, who was not yet awake, was dragged up by the maid, stuffed into the carriage, and continued to fall asleep.

Xiao Ting was going to Jinling to attend a poetry meeting, and Xiao Qi and Xu Buling were also going to Hangzhou to attend the birthday banquet of King Wu, so they simply set off together.

In the temporary residence, the girls had just gotten up and washed up. Madam Lu was already fully dressed and instructing the maids to carry various items to the boat at the Huaihe River Ferry. I have returned to Jiangnan, and my parents’ home is in Jinling, three hundred miles away. We happened to be passing by, so we went back together to have a look.

In the wing room of the back house, Xu Buling was wearing a robe in front of the bronze mirror with a smile on his lips.

Xiang'er's face turned red and she couldn't get up. She huddled under the quilt and held a small sign. She carefully carved out a "one", then put the sign under the pillow and raised her eyes:

"Come back soon, I'm waiting for you to pay off your debt."

Xu Buring nodded, turned around and kissed Xiang'er's forehead, and covered the quilt more tightly: "Sleep a little longer. I'll be back in a few days. If you're hungry..." He raised his hand and picked up what the baby made by himself. The golden quail egg was placed in her hand: "Comfort yourself, I don't mind."

"Sigh—you're the one who's greedy. Do you think I'm Hong Luan?"

Xiao Xiang'er threw the quail eggs aside with a hint of disgust, turned her back and ignored them.

Xu Buling blinked: "What else does Aunt Lu want for herself?"

"How do I know? Ask her yourself."

"How can I ask this..."

Xu Buring shook his head, turned around and left the room. After cleaning up for a while, he led Chai Feng Ma to the door of the house.

It would take several months to go back and forth to Hangzhou, and I couldn't bring all the girls with me to King Wu's birthday banquet. Only Mrs. Lu and Xiao Qi were going together.

Hearing that Xu Buling was going out for a trip, Zhu Manzhi was very reluctant and ran over to Xu Buling and whispered:

"Mr. Xu, you go early and come back early. I'm still waiting to go back to Suzhou with you to see the sea of ​​flowers. If you delay for too long, I won't be able to go back until next summer."

Xu Buling raised his hand and rubbed the branches: "I'll be back soon. I'll be accompanying Qingye and Yufu around Huainan these days. If I find any good places, I'll note them down and go with them when I come back."

"oh……"

Zhu Manzhi actually wanted to go with him, but it was obviously not possible to just take her with him. It would also be inconvenient to take them all to the birthday banquet, so he was considerate and didn't need to say more.

Ning Qingye came out to see her off, her expression still cold, her eyes focused elsewhere, and she seemed to have nothing to say.

Song Yufu was a little embarrassed. She had not yet recovered from what happened last time, so she kept her head down and said nothing. Seeing Xu Buling saying hello and saying goodbye to Ning Qingye, and Ning Qingye's lukewarm response, she secretly muttered in her heart: They pretended to look alike, they all slept together...

Naturally, Ning Qingye knew nothing about this. She stood in front of Xu Buling and frowned: "Xu Buling, have you made the master angry? The master has gone to the Taoist temple in the past two days and refused to see me... …”

Xu Bu Ling led Chai Feng Ma, feeling a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Don't think too much, there are many people in the house, Master is not used to it, it's just a few days of pure cultivation."

Ning Qingye was Xu Buling's senior sister now, so she didn't have much to say. She just said: "Be careful on the road" and then looked away.

Xu Buling walked up to Song Yufu and wanted to say goodbye, but Song Yufu turned red, lowered her head in a hurry, and gave an inaudible "hum~".

Xu Buling had no choice but to whisper in his ear: "Don't talk nonsense about what happened last time."

"cut……"

Song Yufu leaned back slightly to avoid it, not knowing what it meant.

Xu Buling was a little worried, fearing that Fu Bao would set the back house on fire. He wanted to give a few words of advice, but Mrs. Lu, who was waiting by the carriage, could no longer stand it.

Even if you are saying goodbye to the girl, why are you still whispering in her ear? There are still maids and coachmen around...

Mrs. Lu folded her hands on her waist, looked very dignified, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Seeing this, Xu Buling had no choice but to give up, get on his horse, and leave quickly with Nightingale escorting the carriage.

In front of the stone lions outside the mansion, Zhu Manzhi watched the horse in white go away, a little reluctantly, and sighed softly:

"Xiao Ning, Mr. Xu went to the world alone and didn't want you. Are you very unhappy?"

Ning Qingye was confused, walking beside Manzhi, frowning and said, "Why am I unhappy?"

"What if Mr. Xu meets a girl who is more beautiful than you outside..."

Ning Qingye tilted her head slightly and raised her hand to touch her cheek. Qing Shui's eyes showed a bit of pride, obviously thinking that there could be no girl prettier than her in the world.

"..."

Zhu Manzhi didn't want to talk to Ning Qingye anymore. He turned to look at Song Yufu who was still behind and refused to leave, and said doubtfully:

"Miss Song, are you okay?"

Song Yufu's face looked a little strange. After thinking for a while, she walked behind the two of them with a smile, her eyes always on Ning Qingye's buttocks:

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired after a day of shopping last time..."

Zhu Manzhi naturally had no doubts and said with a smile: "Then you have to practice more. My daughter's family still needs to know some martial arts..."

Ning Qingye was very skilled in martial arts and her sixth sense was quite sharp. She noticed that Song Yufu had been secretly staring at her in the past two days, with strange eyes. She turned around and said warmly:

"Miss Song, why do you keep looking at me?"

"Well……"

Song Yufu's face turned slightly red, and she looked at Ning Qingye calmly - her expression was calm with a bit of doubt, nothing strange at all.

They really look alike, huh...

Song Yufu didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Nothing, I just think Miss Ning has a good figure, I envy her."

Ning Qingye tilted his head slightly, looked at his figure for a few times, and nodded slightly:

"Miss Song is not bad either."

Song Yufu smiled shyly and didn't answer...

The sun rose, the sunlight sprinkled on the Huaihe River ferry, and the moored ships set sail one after another.

The guards escorted various items to the Xiao family's ship. Madam Lu and Xiao Qi walked side by side on the deck, talking about family matters.

Xu Buling followed behind, his expression was calm and serious, and Xiao Ting next to him was sleepy, complaining that it was still early.

Huainan is a big city, and it is also located at the throat of Zhongzhou. Shipping and land transportation are very developed. There are nearly a hundred large and small ships moored at the dock, and there is no end in sight.

On the west side of the port, far away from the Xiao family's ship, Wang Ruiyang, the legitimate son of the Wang family in Hangzhou, also boarded his own ship with his entourage, followed by a group of students from Shungeng Academy, all of whom were heading to Jinling to participate in the Jiangnan Literary Festival at the end of the year.

As a legitimate son of a powerful family, Wang Ruiyang was not as ambitious as Xiao Ting, and had no interest in poetry and songs. This time he came here simply to wait for Xu Buling to go to the south of the Yangtze River and inquire about the whereabouts of the jade.

Seeing that the Xiao family's ship began to set sail, Wang Ruiyang also raised his hand and asked the boatman to set off.

Before the pedal was put away, Wang Ruiyang's guard came over with a letter in his hand, pointed to the middle-aged Jianghu guest in Taoist robes standing under the boat, and whispered a few words.

Wang Ruiyang raised his hand to take the envelope, turned around and opened it to take a look. It simply said: 'Try to make friends with him and give the jade as a birthday gift. '

The meaning is simple, try to make friends with Xu Buling, and encourage Xu Buling to give the jade as a birthday gift to King Wu.

After Wang Ruiyang glanced at it, he put away the letter and went back to the cabin to find a counselor to discuss.

The boat slowly left the shore. The middle-aged Taoist priest who came to deliver the letter did not pay attention to Wang Ruiyang, but stayed on the Xiao family's painted boat in the distance. He looked at the young man in white standing with Xiao Ting and frowned slightly.

The Taoist priest was Wu You, a wild Taoist who had just returned from Northern Qi.

After sending Xiao Taohua to the capital of Northern Qi to worship the national teacher Zuo Qingqiu as his teacher, Wu You returned to Jiangnan and continued to work for the Eagle Fighting Tower.

There are many masters in the Eagle Fighting Tower. Famous swordsmen like Chang Shijian can only run around to lead newcomers. Although Wu You has superb light skills, his combat effectiveness is average. The most suitable job is naturally to run errands and deliver letters.

After handing the letter to Wang Ruiyang, the mission was completed. Now I don’t have to worry about the safety of my brother’s wife and daughter. I am alone and have nothing to worry about. I have to do what I should do...

Wu You looked at Xu Buling’s figure, hesitated for a moment at the ferry, and finally turned and walked towards a ferry to Jinling...
