The prince is very fierce

"Baozi..."

"Wonton..."

The sky in the east was slightly bright, and the heavy snow stopped. The early-rising peddlers and hawkers poured into the streets, which already had a bit of the New Year atmosphere.

The room in the inn was very quiet. The red candles and the remaining wine were still on the table, and there were two pairs of boots on the ground.

Inside the curtain, Zhongli Jiujiu woke up very early. There was a little blush on her baby-like tender cheeks. Her fox-like eyes were full of mixed feelings, staring at the man who was close at hand. The strange pain in her body was still there. From time to time, she frowned and uttered a faint hum, and it was unknown whether she was dissatisfied or uncomfortable.

Zhongli Jiujiu has been a person who dares to love and hate since childhood, and she is free and easy-going. Now that this last layer of window paper has been broken, she naturally became tough again.

After all, it has been given for free. What else is there to be afraid of? If a woman can't subdue a man in the boudoir, she deserves to be bullied.

Facing Xu Buling who was sleeping quietly, Zhongli Jiujiu had no intention of being a gentle wife. She raised her hand and patted Xu Buling's chest a few times:

"Hey, hey, hey, you little bastard, how long are you going to sleep? You're still..."

"Uh..."

Xu Buling woke up with a start. Seeing that it was already bright, he took a deep breath and felt that he was not very tired.

It was natural for them to do it together. When they were deeply in love, it was natural. Last night, Zhongli Jiujiu was very cooperative. After letting go, her original temperament was revealed. She looked like "reading a lot of books, sister will teach you", and she responded actively.

Although it was very awkward, it was also a special enjoyment, and the taste of it was not something that outsiders could tell.

Xu Buling turned his head and smiled dotingly: "Madam, you woke up so early?"

Zhongli Jiujiu has always been a person who dares to climb up the roof and tear down the tiles if given a ladder. Now that her status is different, she is no longer afraid of Xu Buling. She sat up, hugged her chest with her left hand, and pushed Xu Buling with her right hand:

"Are you comfortable? Are you satisfied? Get up, and you want me to help you put on your clothes..."

Xu Buling chuckled and sat up: "Madam, don't make trouble."

"I have to make trouble. It was you who insisted on marrying me. When I go back, I will turn your backyard upside down. Ning Yuhe, right? Who is afraid of who..."

The fierce words were just to cover up the shame in his heart.

Xu Buling put on his clothes, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead: "Okay, let's go down to eat."

Zhongli Jiujiu kicked Xu Buling with her legs, then shrank back and wrapped herself tightly: "You go down first, don't forget to give the wine gourd to Qingye, you almost scared me to death last night, and you are still heartless behind me... Bah - I found you are a shameless person..."

Xu Buling frowned slightly, looking down: "Try to be mean to your husband again?"

"Hey-"

Zhongli Jiujiu's beautiful face showed some dissatisfaction, sitting up straight: "What's wrong with me being mean? You come and deal with me, it won't tire you out! I've been eaten up, what am I afraid of?"

"..."

Xu Buling really had nothing to say.

----

In the lobby of the inn, the shopkeeper stood behind the counter and calculated.

Ning Qingye, wearing a snow-white dress, sat quietly at the wine table by the window, with her sword at hand, and next to her was the breakfast she had just bought outside, for four people, but she didn't touch her chopsticks.

After waiting for a while, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

Ning Qingye turned around and saw Xu Buling coming down from upstairs with Nightingale. He was wearing a white robe and had a cold and extraordinary face, like a banished immortal who did not care about worldly things. He held a wine gourd in his hand.

Ning Qingye glanced at the wine gourd, then quickly looked away and looked out the window without saying a word.

"Miss Ning got up so early and prepared breakfast. You are thoughtful."

Xu Buling walked to the table, brushed the hem of his robe, sat down, and placed the wine gourd in front of Ning Qingye.

Ning Qingye's thoughts were always written on her face. She was obviously a little stiff at this time. She tilted her head to look at the wine gourd:

"What are you doing? It's early in the morning, I don't drink..."

Xu Buling was silent for a while. He didn't plan to give Qingye a wine gourd. Giving it at this time was obviously a perfunctory job and not sincere...

Thinking of this, Xu Buling raised his hand to take off the sword at his waist and handed it to Ning Qingye:

"I just want to drink a few sips... By the way, I'm not good at swordplay, it's a bit of a waste to hold this sword. You are my senior sister. I have been here for so long, but I have never given you anything. I heard from Manzhi that you like the 'Zhanlu' very much, but that sword has been given to Manzhi. This sword is given to you."

? ?

Ning Qingye was stunned. The Zhaodan Sword is a national treasure, one of the most precious treasures that a swordsman wants. Naturally, she was jealous. But it's ok to give her an ordinary wine gourd, but how can I give her the Zhaodan sword? It's too precious...

"A swordsman always carries his sword with him, how can I give it to others? You take it back, I don't want it."

Ning Qingye shook his head and pushed the snow-white sword away.

Xu Buling put the sword on the table: "If Miss Ning feels embarrassed, just give me your sword as well, and we will be even."

Hearing this, Ning Qingye quickly picked up the famous sword "Shangchun" and put it in his arms: "No, this is my mother's sword, I can't give it to a man..."

"This Zhaodan was also given to me by my mother, isn't it the same? If you don't want it, I will give it to Master and replace her Beiqiu. I think Master will be very happy."

"..."

Ning Qingye hesitated a little when she heard this. The Spring and Autumn are sister swords in the martial arts world. They were originally the weapons of a pair of martial arts lovers in the previous dynasty. Her master had finally collected them for the purpose of pairing them. If Xu Buling took the Autumn, wouldn't it be the couple's sword she took...

Ning Qingye hesitated for a moment and said lightly: "Forget it, whatever you want..." Then he put the sword on the table and picked up Xu Buling's sword: "Let's take turns to use it. When you can't bear to part with it, you can change it back... Don't break my sword."

"Hehe..."

Xu Buling nodded with a smile, put away the Qingfeng long sword, didn't say more about this matter, picked up the chopsticks:

"Eat, eat."

After a while, Zhongli Jiujiu also came down from upstairs. Her expression had almost returned to her usual appearance. She rubbed her waist and looked a little lazy. She sat opposite Xu Buling, far away, and didn't dare to make eye contact.

Ning Qingye's mind was on the sword, so naturally he didn't notice anything unusual.

Before the four of them finished their breakfast, the inn's lobby was filled with the sound of "chirping" and a little sparrow, almost exhausted, flew in from the door and landed directly on the table between the four people. It lay on the table already drooping, not even bothering to move its wings.

Zhongli Jiujiu and the little sparrow had been dependent on each other for many years, and seeing the pain, he quickly picked up the little sparrow and held it in his arms to warm it. He took the small note from the sparrow and handed it to Xu Buling, and then took out pine nuts to feed it.

Xu Buling put down his chopsticks, unfolded the note and looked at it for a few seconds, then frowned slightly.

Ning Qingye saw Xu Buling's serious face and asked, "What did the master and the others say?"

Xu Buling put down the note, frowning: "I ran too hastily in the underground palace and didn't have time to deal with the eunuch's skeleton. I'm afraid Chang'an City will soon guess the whole story. I will definitely be targeted."

Ning Qingye was a little puzzled. He looked around and whispered, "The jade seal has been swapped, and no one else knows. Now the jade seal should be taken by Li Hansheng. The only people who know you are in Leting County are those who want to rob things, and they won't leak the news. The court should chase Li Hansheng, why would they target you?"

Xu Buling shook his head: "For this kind of thing, it's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Even if I didn't go to Liaoxi, as long as I appear in Youzhou, I can't get rid of the relationship. The court will not let me go unless the jade seal is found."

"What should I do?"

"Xiao Qi and the others' ship has turned back. We have to leave before the court blocks the road. In Taiyuan, Take the boat and join them, otherwise it will be difficult to get out. "

Ning Qingye nodded, without hesitation, picked up the sword: "Then set off now?"

Xu Buling shook his head, looked at the note in his hand, and hesitated:

"The letter also said that Chuchu was not on the boat. The day after we left Huainan, Chuchu also came with us."

"Ah?"

Zhongli Jiujiu, who had just become a young woman, was eating. When she heard this, her face turned pale and she looked a little nervous:

"How could it be... Didn't I tell her to sit on the boat? Why did she come here?"

Yingying put down her chopsticks and thought: "We have finished fighting the Tang family and Bodhi Island and are ready to return. She hasn't shown up yet. Will she be in trouble?"

Ning Qingye blinked and shook his head: "She rides a broken camel. If she goes by land, it's hard to say whether she has reached Fanyang County City now..."

The four of them fell silent at the same time, speechless.

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead and looked at his wife: "Why did you buy a camel for Chuchu? How can you ride a camel to travel the rivers and lakes?"

Zhongli Jiujiu looked innocent. She was nervous and worried, so she didn't dare to retort. She said softly: "She was born in the Western Regions, so she must have a certain appearance... Riding a horse is just like an ordinary woman in the rivers and lakes..."

"..."

The three of them were speechless

When the court reacts, it will inevitably launch an unimaginable high-intensity hunt, which will only happen in the next two days. Zhongli Chuchu and Xu Buling had contact in Huainan. The rescue of Chuchu in Hongshan Lake was known to everyone in the rivers and lakes. If Chuchu was left alone, it was obvious that she would be caught by the court and used to force Xu Buling to show up.

Xu Buling patted his forehead and stood up: "Hurry up and go to Fanyang County to inquire about the news, find Chuchu back, and then we will go together."

The three women didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and left the room, driving their horses to gallop towards Fanyang County...
