The prince is very fierce

Wolf smoke swept across the land, and the inside and outside of the city walls turned into a sea of ​​fire.

In the south of Luzhou City, the bloody battle of attack and defense lasted from dusk to midnight. In the situation where the Liaoxi Army was in disarray, even though Luzhou had a solid city defense as a support, it began to collapse from all sides in a short period of time.

Xu Buling personally broke into the battle line and led the infantry to forcibly climb the city, killing a bloody path on the city wall until he reached the city gate tower where Wang Chenghai was.

Wang Chenghai knew that the defeat was inevitable, but he did not retreat. With the determination of "sacrificing his life for justice", he drew his sword and killed Xu Buling who rushed to the top of the city.

The result was also fulfilled. Wang Chenghai's head appeared on the top of the city gate tower, in Xu Buling's hand, in front of thousands of soldiers.

The next thing was that the Liaoxi Army, which was defeated like a mountain, had long lost its will to fight. Some surrendered and some broke through. After the city gate was broken, it was officially announced that the strongest barrier of Dongyue was lost.

After the Western Liang army opened fire, Song Siming knew that the situation was over. He wanted to be buried with the Song family of Dayue, but he was forcibly taken away by the guards and escaped from the east gate to Jinling. The Xiao family members who had almost lost their shield function were also taken away.

After Xu Buling killed Wang Chenghai, he discovered this situation and immediately led a thousand light cavalry to bypass Luzhou City and chase in the direction of Jinling.

The bright moon was hanging in the sky, and the land of Luzhou was full of blood-stained stragglers. The roar of horses' hooves shook the earth, and the murderous Western Liang cavalry pierced into the plains in the southeast like a sharp sword.

Xu Buling was wearing a black robe and holding a long spear. His body was stained with the blood of countless people. His eyes were fixed on the dust in front of him. The personal soldiers of King Wu Song Siming were right in front of him.

Chen Si Ning walked beside him, holding a crescent-shaped scimitar in his hand, also covered in blood. Although the martial arts of a half-step master were not enough to be compared with the martial arts champion, he was definitely a fierce general with unparalleled killing power in the battle formation. The scene of killing people like mowing grass frightened the surrounding Xiliang army and kept a little distance.

"Go"

Xu Buling rode the chasing wind horse, which was much faster than ordinary war horses. Seeing that there were only a few hundred soldiers protecting the King of Wu's breakout, he immediately rushed out with his horse's belly.

Chen Si Ning came over and rode Manzhi's horse, following closely behind. It took them about two quarters of an hour to catch up with the back of Song Siming's breakout team.

Xu Buling took the bow from the side of the horse, raised his hand and shot an arrow, and shot down a guard who was running behind the team, and said angrily:

"Song Siming, you have no way to escape!"

In the team in front, Wu Wang Song Siming was sitting on the carriage. Seeing Xu Buling catching up, there was no fear in his eyes, but he almost frantically said to his guards:

"There are only two of them, go and kill them! Quick!"

The guards of the palace around were all masters of superb martial arts, but it was precisely because they were masters that they understood how terrifying it was to be chased by a single killer behind them.

The guards did not take orders, and still escorted the carriage by force, fleeing towards the direction of Jinling City.

Facing a team of hundreds of people, Xu Buling did not stop at all, let Chen Si Ning follow behind, and rushed into the fleeing team with a long spear. The spear tip danced rapidly under the moonlight, and anyone he met, whether a man or a horse, was torn into pieces, unstoppable and unstoppable.

"Ah"

"Run..."

The guards of the palace were fearless and blocked the way, just like an ant trying to stop a chariot with its arms. They looked brave, but in the face of absolute power, they were only tragic and desolate.

Xu Buling had already been bloodthirsty, sweeping away everything in his path without any mercy or mercy, leaving behind broken limbs and armor along the way.

Chen Si Ning held the whip-tail knife, like a poisonous scorpion waiting for an opportunity, and easily took lives.

"Send the prince away!"

"Ah"

The chaos lasted only a little while, and Xu Buling had already rushed to the front of the King of Wu's carriage. He just jumped up and smashed down with the long spear in his hand.

Several guards around him flew to block him, but they were turned into minced meat under the sharp and unparalleled spear tip and smashed on the gorgeous carriage.

Wu Wang Song Siming, who suffered from a chronic disease and could hardly stand up, just stared at Xu Buling until the spear tip hit his head, blood splattered, and his skinny body was split in two.

"Prince!"

"You are so bold!"

Helpless scolding came from all directions. Some guards rushed towards Xu Buling almost frantically, while others fled in all directions. The Xiliang army also rushed up from behind and began to hunt him down.

After Xu Buling killed several guards, he stopped Chen Si Ning who wanted to chase him, and turned and ran to a warhorse.

The knight on the warhorse had been killed, and his body fell to the ground, with stirrups still on his feet, and was dragged on the ground by the frightened horse.

Behind the horse, the second uncle of the Xiao family, whose hands and feet were tied, had a lot of blood splashed on his body. He was obviously frightened. He kept turning his head left and right to check. Seeing Xu Buling running over, he hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Second uncle, don't panic!"

Xu Buling ran up quickly, raised his hand to untie Xiao Mo from the horse, and prepared to rescue other members of the Xiao family who were tied to the horse.

But after Xiao Mo landed, he didn't care about the chaotic battlefield, and hurriedly grabbed Xu Buling, saying in shock and anger:

"Your Highness, Xiao Ting was kidnapped. On the way to break through just now, a masked man appeared from the side of the road, killed the guards carrying Xiao Ting, and took away both the man and the horse. I don't know where he fled..."

Xu Buling paused and frowned:

"Kidnapped? But the people of the Four Kings of the East?"

Xiao Mo waved his hands quickly: "Absolutely not. Song Siming thought that you sent experts to rescue people and sent guards to hunt them down. They must be people from other forces. That man was barehanded and did not ride a horse. He kidnapped people from the cavalry in the blink of an eye. It was definitely true. There are masters in the world, but I don’t understand this and didn’t recognize who it was.”

Chen Sining was watching out for Liu Ya. Hearing these words, he turned around and asked:

"Is it possible that Li Han gave birth to them?"

Xu Buling thought it was possible. After all, all the masters in the Central Plains were almost killed by him. The only people who were hostile to him and did not belong to Dongyue's influence were Zuo Qingqiu and others from Northern Qi. Zuo Qingqiu couldn't come here to cause trouble. The only ones who could steal someone from King Wu in such a situation were probably the masters of Daying Tower.

However, the identity of the visitor has not yet been determined, and Xu Buling cannot relax his vigilance and let the Xiliang army send Xiao Mo to a safe place, and then go to rescue the others with Chen Sining...——

The fighting that lasted all night left the streets of the once prosperous Luzhou City in chaos. Although a small number of people suffered and fell into grief, most of the people still walked out of their homes and happily welcomed the arrival of the imperial troops.

The people were happy not because they thought the Xiliang Army was the savior, but because they knew that as long as the Xiliang Army occupied this place, the war that had lasted for more than a year would come to an end.

Although the Four Kings' Rebellion was well-known, it caused refugees in the east and caused famine all over the place. It was obviously unpopular with the people. The people did not care who became the emperor, and they would only listen to whoever did not capture strong men and allow them to live a stable life.

The army under the command of General Xu Lie had been here once before Jiazi, and had deeds to stabilize the country and stabilize the country. The people of Luzhou obviously believed in the Xiliang army more.

After the Xiliang Army entered Luzhou, baggage fleets from the rear arrived one after another. They quickly opened warehouses to release food and appease the people. They were the troops of the imperial court, and there was no stubborn resistance in the city.

However, Wang Chenghai used the people as a threat to prevent Xu Buling from shelling the city wall, which was obviously a violation of the rules. In order to scare the monkeys and prevent other cities from following suit, Yang Zunyi ordered the arrest of all Dongyue's senior generals, staff and military advisors, officials in the city, and their families in Luzhou. Adult men were beheaded outside Luzhou City, and more than 2,000 heads were piled up in the capital.

It is definitely wrong to kill like this, but if you don't kill like this, there will always be people who are lucky enough to think that they can get away with it by being clever. Everyone must know the price of "bullying a gentleman" so that they will not dare to take risks and become villains.

Xu Buling turned back from outside the city. It was already early in the morning. The soldiers were repairing the offensive outside Luzhou City all night long. The Xiliang army in charge of the siege was granted a three-day leave to rest in the city. The generals collected the remains of the soldiers and confirmed their identities. A cemetery was built outside the city for rich burials.

The General's Mansion, originally commanded and dispatched by Wang Chenghai, has become the base camp of the Xiliang Army. Yang Zunyi and many generals are discussing the next plan to attack Huainan and Jinling.

Xu Buling rode outside the handsome man's house and went directly to the back house with Chen Sining.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Xiang'er were worried about the safety of their clan members and refused to go back to the rear. At this time, they were still anxiously pacing the verandah of the back house, while Ning Qingye stood beside them, constantly comforting them.

Seeing Xu Buring and Chen Sining coming back from outside, covered in blood, Xiao Xiang'er suppressed the anxiety in her eyes for the time being, and ran forward to hold Xu Buring's hand:

"Xu Buling, are you not injured?"

Xu Buling handed the sword to Qingye, shook his head and said:

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

Xiao Qi stood beside her. She was naturally calm and didn't show much expression on her face. She just asked calmly:

"Have Ting'er and the others recovered?"

Xu Buling was a little embarrassed to speak, so he thought for a while before saying:

"Second Uncle and the others have chased them back. Apart from some minor superficial injuries, their lives are not in danger. I just heard from Second Uncle Xiao that Xiao Ting was kidnapped by unknown people when he broke out of the encirclement. We don't know the details at the moment. We are sending people Inspection."

"Taken away?"

Xiao Qi frowned, a little confused.

When Xiao Xiang'er saw that Xu Buling was safe and sound, Xiao Xiang'er felt relieved in her almond-shaped eyes, and then anger emerged. She raised her hand and patted Xu Buling's chest:

"You bastard, who asked you to shoot Xiao Ting with an arrow? He is my nephew and your nephew, how could you do such a thing?"

Shooting arrows at Xiao Ting outside the city clearly shocked everyone on both sides. After all, everyone knew about the relationship between Xu Buling and Xiao Ting. They were classmates who had good friendships in the past. Even if they were accidentally injured by artillery fire, how could they do it in front of the enemy? Killed directly.

However, Xu Buling felt a little aggrieved about this, shook his head and said:

"Baby, if I'm not cold-blooded, Wang Chenghai and the others won't be afraid. I have to let them know that using hostages is useless, and only then can I have a chance to save Xiao Ting and the others. If there is a slight compromise, the consequences will only be more serious."

Xiao Xiang'er raised her hand and clapped it again: "You can shoot at the feet, directly into the chest. If they don't stop, Xiao Ting will really die. You..."

Xiao Qi wanted to be calm and clear-headed about the overall situation. She shook her head and said:

"The hostages are useful only if they are alive, but if they are dead, they will have nothing to rely on. They will definitely stop them. They know that Xu Buling has some scruples, and the battle will not be fought. Qingye, please send Xiang'er back to his room to rest first, Xu Buling I’m tired after fighting all night.”

Xiao Xiang'er actually knew right from wrong, and she just said these annoying words to vent her panic to her lover. She pursed her lips and said no more. She stepped forward and kissed Xu Buling on the cheek before following Ning Qingye back to the room.

Xu Buling was indeed very tired, but the news about Xiao Ting was not confirmed, so he couldn't sleep at all. He and Xiao Qi went to the room to change into blood clothes. Seeing that Chen Sining was still following, he said softly:

"Miss Chen, you have worked hard today. You can go and rest."

Chen Sining had been playing all night, and it was impossible for her body not to be exhausted. She didn't try to be brave at the moment. She raised her hand and said, "Okay, call me if you need anything." Then she turned around and found a room.

Xu Buring changed into clean clothes in the room. He originally wanted to accompany Xiao Qi to visit the Xiao family, but Xiao Qi knew that Xu Buring was physically tired and did not go. Instead, she pulled Xu Buring's little boy in the room. He sat down on the couch, raised his hands to rub his shoulders, and advised softly:

"In troubled times, life is like a straw, and no one is special. I, the children of the Xiao family, have known this truth since birth. Live when you should live, die when you die. Living an ignoble existence will bring nothing in exchange for it, except dragging down your family. Although Xiao Ting is careless, he understands the truth in his heart. Even if he dies outside today, it is still his fate. Neither Xiang'er nor Xiao Ting will blame you. You have tried your best and there is no need to put the burden on yourself. "

Xu Buling shook his head and wanted to say something. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it and just said:

"Foolish people are lucky. Xiao Ting has a hard life. How could something happen? I have sent people to look for him and they will be back in a few days. I am afraid that you are impatient, so I am impatient."

Xiao Qi sighed quietly, sat down in front of Xu Buling, and rested her cheek on Xu Buling's shoulder:

"Ting'er is not stupid. She has a lot of backbone today. Even if she is killed by a gangster, she will definitely die in a dignified manner. She will not disgrace the Xiao family's family tradition. How can I be impatient..."

"well……"--

"Xu Bu Ling, you bastard, I thought I saw the wrong person, bah... help me..."

On the south side of Luzhou, among the mountains, is a small village that was recently abandoned due to the war.

A few ownerless old dogs were wandering along the paths in the village. Occasionally they looked up at a house in the middle of nowhere. Maybe they couldn't find anything to eat. They instinctively ran towards them looking for the sound of people, but when they were halfway there, He was swallowed up by a huge black shadow in the bushes, leaving only a whining bark.

The village is very remote, and even in peaceful times, few people come here all year round.

There are only a dozen or so adobe houses scattered on both sides of the several-mile-long river. There is not even a road for horse-drawn carriages to travel on. There is only a dirt path as wide as one person, winding deep into the mountains.

Outside a relatively complete adobe house at the bottom of the mountain, a brazier was burning in the courtyard. Shangguan Jinghong was sitting next to him, roasting fish freshly caught from the water. On the eaves of the house, stood a Shangguan Jinghong. The black crow left behind by Capture the Crane scanned the surrounding mountains with its scarlet eyes.

In the main hall of the house, the walls were bare, and anything that could be taken away had been moved away during the escape, leaving only the tattered tables and chairs.

Xiao Ting, dressed in gorgeous clothes, still had his hands tied, leaning against the corner of the wall, looking at the dark room, crying and howling hysterically:

"Help, I'm only twenty years old, I have an older brother and a younger brother..."

The old man with a hooked nose in a cloak, perhaps a little impatient, came in from outside with a freshly grilled fish, pulled a bench in front of him and sat down:

"Stop howling. We have been fighting for a year. Anyone who can run around has already run away. From here, we have to walk ten miles to get out of the mountain. Walk another ten miles to meet someone. There may not be anyone inside. No matter how loud you roar, , and no one can hear it.”

When Xiao Ting saw someone coming in, he stopped shouting, looked at the sizzling grilled fish, and his face became more serious:

"Being decapitated is very important. Mr. Storyteller is really not talking nonsense. You have to starve to death. Come on, come on, help me untie my hands."

The hook-nosed old man frowned, feeling as if he had caught a fool, but it didn't matter, as long as he didn't catch the wrong person. In front of Xiao Ting, he stuffed the fish into his mouth, took a bite, and chewed it carefully.

"Hey"

Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment and said a little angrily:

"I don't eat what others eat. You share half of it. It's unlucky for you to eat this decapitation meal, isn't it..."

The hook-nosed old man ate the grilled fish and hummed:

"Be honest and obedient, and you won't die. I follow the rules, and I never kill innocent people indiscriminately..."

"I'm listening. Give me the fish first. I was almost killed in the city wall one day, and you carried me all night, and I didn't get any water. Why don't you let me have something to eat? Jianghu people, you have to be reasonable, right? If you are such a big hero and seduce me with fish, will the price drop? "

"..."

The hook-nosed old man frowned and turned around and shouted:

"Jinghong, bring me a fish."

Shangguan Jinghong agreed, took the freshly grilled fish, squatted down in front of Xiao Ting, and brought it to Xiao Ting's mouth:

"Eat."

Xiao Ting glanced at it and raised his eyebrows:

"Ha! The little brother is so handsome. He looks like a bragging boy similar to me. He doesn't seem to be short of money. Why are you kidnapping me... wuwuwu, please slow down, how can you be so stuffed? I'm not a kiln sister. Son, you are quite skilled in your skills. You have visited brothels a lot before, right?" ? ?

Shangguan Jinghong frowned and his eyes were speechless. It was hard to imagine that such a guy in front of him could be the head of the Huainan Xiao family, the head of the five great clans. He turned his head and said:

"Grandpa, we won't arrest the wrong person, right? If you can be the head of the Xiao family, I will have no problem becoming the emperor."

The hook-nosed old man shook his head. He had been watching from outside the battlefield today, and there was no way he could catch the wrong person by following him along the way. He looked at Xiao Ting and said in a deep voice:

"Don't be careless. Write a letter and ask Xu Bu Ling to go to Shenxian Ridge alone in three days to rescue you. Don't waste your efforts leaving secret codes. I have been in the world all my life and you can't hide it."

Xiao Ting was a little embarrassed when he heard this:

"Aren't you making trouble? Xu Buling's hundreds of thousands of troops are busy conquering the world. How can he have time to come alone to save me? Didn't you miss me outside Luzhou City today? You think I'm in the way? If you don’t say that you are just aiming an arrow at me, you wish I would die soon. You want to lure the snake out of the hole and choose a better bait. Why do you tie me up?”

Shangguan Jinghong also saw that scene today. The arrow was shot for real. The city wall did not stop Xiao Ting from dying, and he did not take Xiao Ting seriously at all. He opened his mouth and said:

"Grandpa, Xu Buling is indeed cold-blooded. It's probably impossible for him to go to the meeting alone with this guy."

Xiao Ting took a bite of the grilled fish and nodded vaguely:

"Yes, this brother knows his stuff. What's the use of arresting me? King Wu arrested me and threatened Xu Buling. You have also seen what happened now. Let me tell you, you are not very good at threatening people at first glance. Since ancient times, , the easiest way to convince people in high positions is to start with women..."

The hook-nosed old man frowned:

"Xu Buling's family is in the middle of the military camp. If there is a chance to kidnap Xu Buling's woman, do you still need to teach me?"

Xiao Ting shook his head and glanced back and forth at the two kidnappers, as if looking at Yu Mu's head:

"Look, all the people in the world are really stupid. Women can't be kidnapped. You don't know how to kidnap women's family members? When the woman is in a hurry to blow the pillow, won't Xu Buling be unable to sit still?"

"Aren't you Mrs. Xu Buling's nephew?"

"Oh, you don't understand this."

Xiao Ting shook his head: "Since ancient times, no one really likes the marriage between aristocratic families. It's just to build relationships. The Xiao family has been passed down for thousands of years, and Prince Su was only able to establish his career in Jiazi. My aunt married him, which was a serious marriage. How can such an arrogant person feel better if he marries an aunt? Since we got married, we have had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. If not, I wouldn’t have raised my hand today. Then they killed me. My aunt was watching from outside the city, her face turned pale with fright, but Xu Bu Ling still ignored her. "

Shangguan Jinghong nodded slightly. His grandfather was the Duke of Nanyue and was considered a top family. He was quite convinced by this statement:

"Grandpa, what you say makes sense."

Xiao Ting nodded quickly: "That's right. If you want to arrest someone and threaten Xu Buling, you have to arrest the right person. Xu Buling and I happened to know each other. He had a concubine. He was born in poverty. We met him by chance in Chang'an City and then we married him. She was from a wealthy family and had a beautiful appearance. Xu Buling doted on her very much. The concubine's father was a minor official in the capital. He was brought up by his grandfather when he was young. The one who feels the most distressed is her grandfather. If you arrest her grandfather, The concubine was definitely crying and fussing, so she came out naturally."

The hook-nosed old man and Shangguan Jinghong definitely didn't know the situation of Xu Buling's back house, so they immediately asked:

"Then where is my concubine's grandfather?"

"Not far, not far, only a few hundred miles away."

Xiao Ting was very interested and pointed to the southwest with his chin:

"Do you know about Yuelu Mountain? There is a small village at the foot of the mountain. You go there and find someone and ask where 'Uncle Su Mu' lives. If you give me a few taels of silver, someone will definitely lead you to the door. You don't need me to do the rest. Did you say that? Just tie him up and you’ll have him.”

"Yuelu Mountain...Uncle Su..."

The hook-nosed old man frowned and thought carefully, seeming to think of some Jianghu legend. His expression suddenly changed, and he raised his hand and slashed Xiao Ting's forehead:

"Why don't you let me go to Wudang Mountain to catch Taoist Master Qingxu? Are you a fool for me?"

Xiao Ting groaned, a little annoyed: "Say what you say, what's the point of beating someone? An old villager, what does he have to do with Wudang Mountain? By the way, which Taoist temple does Master Qingxu belong to? Is he very powerful?"

The hook-nosed old man stood up, took out a pen and paper from his sleeve, and threw it in front of Xiao Ting:

"Write it honestly as I say, or I can ghostwrite it and send it to you with your fingers. Xu Buring doesn't care about your life or death, and I don't even care. You have to give it a try."

Xiao Ting looked aggrieved. He looked at the paper on the ground and could only nod:

"Okay, let me try writing. Untie my hands. If you want me to write, why are you tying me up and feeding me?"

"Write, promise, I was kidnapped by gangsters, three days later..."

Xiao Ting picked up the brush and was about to start writing, when he heard these words and paused:

"Wait a minute."

The old man with a hooked nose frowned and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Ting looked serious: "How to write the word 'captive'?"

"..."

"Grandpa, we must have kidnapped the wrong person. The head of the Xiao family, who has spanned three dynasties and is the leader of the world, has such ugly handwriting..."

"Are you leaving a secret code?"

"No, I can see that. Ugliness is a natural thing. Normal people can't confuse the fake with the real. It's really ugly..."

"Brother, please be polite when you speak. This is called cursive writing..."

"Did you learn from Dogtail Grass?"

"Hey, you..."

…

For some reason, in a village deep in the mountains and old forests, with two gangsters and a butcher, the atmosphere turned out to be extremely joyful...——

The next day, in Luzhou City, the traces of the war had not yet been erased. The city gates were opened and the people had recovered a little. There were funeral processions everywhere, and a large number of people were receiving relief grains in front of the Yamen.

In the Commander's Mansion, the generals were discussing the next plan in the meeting hall.

In the side hall, four girls, Xiao Qi, Xiao Xiang'er, Ning Qingye, and Chen Sining, gathered around the door. Xu Buling looked at the piece of paper in his hand carefully and read with difficulty:

"Xu Bu Ling... I have been raped by many people..."

Baby: "It's a 'bad guy'."

"Bad guy...what's the word behind it?"

Xiao Qi: "Taken away."

…

Xu Buling looked at the ghost-drawn talisman on the letter paper, and felt his scalp numb, and said with some uncertainty:

"Is this Xiao Ting's handwriting?"

Xiao Xiang'er watched Xiao Ting grow up. Although Xiao Ting didn't touch a pen for half a year, she still knew Xiao Ting's handwriting very well. She frowned and said seriously:

"Absolutely, but I was forced to practice Ting'er's handwriting better. It looks more like what she wrote when she was seven or eight years old."

Xiao Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that it's Ting'er's notes. Judging from the strength of the pen, he shouldn't be injured. He also wrote quite leisurely and nothing serious happened."

Ning Qingye couldn't read all the words on it, thought about it, and then interjected:

"What now?"

Chen Sining was very knowledgeable about handling cases. She picked up the paper, looked at it behind her back, and said seriously:

"The paper was written on the ground. The ground was uneven and covered with dirt. It was probably an earthen house between villages."

Having said this is like saying nothing.

Xu Bu Ling had a headache and looked at Chen Sining:

"Where did you find the letter paper?"

Chen Sining pointed to the top of her head: "When I was just patrolling, it suddenly fell from the sky and landed just in front of me. I jumped on the roof and searched everywhere, but couldn't find any trace except a few birds. They should have been sent in by birds. ”

Xu Buling frowned and looked at the letter: "Shenxian Ridge is on the bank of the river. The surrounding terrain is flat. You can see the movements of a ten-mile radius from the mountain. If you take people there, they will definitely run away."

Xiao Qi shook her head: "Ting'er deliberately used different handwriting to remind you that you are trapped. The other party is coming directly to you. It is best not to fall into a trap."

Xu Buling sighed: "If you don't go, you won't even be able to find anyone. What will you do if someone refuses to vote? Let's go and check the situation first..."

While several people were discussing, a guard suddenly ran outside the handsome man's house and bowed in front of the door:

"Young prince, there is a woman outside who is looking for you. She is of average appearance. I originally wanted to drive her away, but the woman insists that she knows you. She has something urgent to tell you. Please let me know."

"woman?"

In the side hall, the four girls blinked and looked at Xu Buring.

Xu Bu Ling's eyes were blank. After thinking about it for a moment, he made sure that he was not flirting with women in Luzhou, then he straightened his clothes and walked out:

"I'll go out and take a look."

Soldiers and armor gathered outside, and the woman running out had a bad influence on Xu Buling. Xiao Qi did not follow, only Chen Sining, who was wearing armor, followed closely.

Xu Buling quickly came to the door of the Commander's Mansion. Before he could walk out of the door, he saw a circle of soldiers surrounding the outside. A middle-aged woman was kneeling at the foot of the steps. She wore a hairpin and a cloth skirt, holding a little girl in her arms, with a look on her face. He was sweating profusely from running around for a long time, and there was blood on his arms. He was obviously injured.

Because of his ordinary appearance, Xu Buling didn't really recognize who he was at first glance.

Chen Sining frowned, her eyes looked a little strange, and she muttered in a low voice:

"General, you are really not picky about food, even your daughter is so old..."

"What a mess..."

Xu Buring shook his head and walked quickly to the door.

The middle-aged woman kneeling outside the door saw Xu Buling, quickly stood up with her daughter in her arms, and said anxiously:

"Young prince, I am Meng Hua. I have offended the young prince in Yueyang City before. I have something urgent to tell you..."

Meng Hua...

Xu Buling thought about it for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the woman in front of him was the Ghost Empress who had once shocked him into a cold sweat. He paused slightly as he approached, stood on the steps, and said with a frown:

"Why are you so depressed?"

The Ghost Empress' face was almost pale, with an unknown amount of anger in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Time is tight, so I'll keep my story short. A few days ago in Daqiao Town, two people from the Jianghu came to my shop. They chatted privately and mentioned the name of the young prince. I eavesdropped at the time, which may have alarmed them, but after a while The person who caused trouble must be Tongtian Jiao Nanyu among the Seven Stars of South Vietnam..."

"Nanyu?"

Chen Sining's face changed slightly when she heard such a name:

"Isn't he dead?"

Xu Buling was also a little confused. With the deaths of Sikong Zhi, Shangguan Qinhe and others, the Seven Stars of South Vietnam basically disappeared. The last time Nanyu appeared was more than ten years ago. He was very famous in South Vietnam. He heard that he knew the "Dragon Control Technique" and kept a dragon in captivity. Its killing power ranked first among the Seven Stars in South Vietnam, but not many people saw it with their own eyes. However, in the end he disappeared for unknown reasons. Some said he died of old age, while others said he went to Nanyang. Anyway, there was no record of this in the Nanyue and Dayue dynasties.

The Ghost Empress also joined the world more than ten years ago. She has a reputation for assassinating officials everywhere, so she naturally knows the general situation of Nanyu. She gritted her teeth and said:

"The thing that attacked me at that time was something that came out of the water. It looked like a snake, but it was so big that it was scary. Only the head was visible but the tail was not visible. It bit my husband to death on the spot. I was caught off guard and could only jump in with the girl in my arms. In the water, several pieces of Linjia were scraped off by the iron wires arranged in the water, and I was able to escape. "

The Ghost Empress said, taking out a piece of scale armor from her arms and throwing it to Xu Buling.

Xu Buling took it and took a look. The armor piece was about the size of a baby's fist. It was dark in color and extremely hard. The traces of the iron wire used by the Ghost Empress could clearly be seen, but they could not be cut off. The hardness could even catch up with soldiers' armor. . He looked at Chen Sining:

"What kind of snake is this?"

"I don't know, this is too big."

Chen Sining took the scales and looked at them. Two small snakes came out of her sleeves. Ah Bai also licked them with her pink tongue. Judging from her reaction, she was obviously a little scared.

The eyes of the Ghost Empress were full of anger: "That beast is extremely powerful. After I landed ashore, I tracked Nanyu's whereabouts. I wanted to take revenge, but I didn't know the details and didn't dare to get close. I chased him from Daqiao Town to near Luzhou. There was a battle here yesterday. They were right here, and they kidnapped someone when the city was broken..."

When Xu Buling heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked closer:

"Are you sure?"

The Ghost Empress nodded quickly: "That's why I came to you. I was lying in wait on the mountain, and I vaguely heard the meat ticket calling your name, saying, 'Xu Bu Ling, you bastard...'"? ?

Xu Buling narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, but still didn't care about it, turned around and prepared to order all the guards to rescue people.

But the Ghost Empress was a little anxious and said again:

"Nanyu is an old Jianghu. He is extremely cunning. He changed his hiding place in half a day. They left at midnight last night and stopped at Wuyu Ridge in the south. I hurried quickly and ran for two hours before arriving. If I went back too late, I would definitely never come back again. If you can’t find it, too many people will alert you.”

Xu Buling frowned, knowing that time waits for no one, he immediately whistled, called the horse chasing the wind over, and said:

"Miss Chen, take her with you and we'll go there now."

"good."

Chen Sining already hated the banditry in South Vietnam. Hearing that it was the thieves from South Vietnam who were causing trouble, she had to go and see what happened. She immediately got on the horse chasing the wind and asked the ghost empress to come up.

The Ghost Empress looked at her daughter in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and handed her daughter to the palace guard. After a few instructions, she jumped behind Chen Sining.

The Ghost Empress is famous for her ghostly figure and hard-to-find figure, and her excellent Qinggong is exaggerated. Chen Sining only felt a dark wind blowing behind her. She didn't feel anything yet, but there was someone behind her. She was startled. She thought for a while and said nothing, then rode her horse and galloped south with Xu Buring... - —
