The prince is very fierce

It was already the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was approaching, and people in Chengde County were crowded together. The big event that had just happened in the Tang family did not affect the people's work and rest. Only the Goulan Restaurant where people from all walks of life gathered, talking about the changes that could shake the entire world.

On the north side of the county, the alleys in the civilian areas are covered with thick snow and there are few people around. The surrounding houses and houses are relatively dilapidated, with only a few elderly people living there.

Xu Buling carried the dragon-patterned long stem wrapped in black cloth and walked deep into the alley. There was this wine jar hanging on the top of the long stem. It was the best local peach blossom wine in Chengde County, specially brought to his father-in-law.

Ning Yuhe walked on Xu Buling's right side, helping to hold the sword.

Although Ning Yuhe has been practicing martial arts for many years and has a flexible body, no matter how high his daughter's martial arts skills are, not everything is indestructible. She was forced to stay at the inn last time, and she resisted fiercely. Xu Buling just had a taste of it and didn't go too far. She asked for it just now. By the time she regretted it, it was already too late, so she could only bear it. Although He wasn't injured, but he still feels a little uncomfortable and feels weird. Anyway, he is embarrassed to speak.

Zhongli Jiujiu walked on the left side of Xu Buling, because she had known about Ning Yuhe and Xu Buling for a long time, so she didn't have any worries in her heart. At this time, he was holding an expensive silver fox fur coat in his hands, and there were a few more hairpins in his bun. Under the comfort of money, the pain in his body, which was caused by the loss of pressure on the baby at the bottom of the box, also dissipated a little, and he said with a smile:

"Xu Bu Ling, don't think of sending me away with this small favor. This is interest, and the money you should give cannot be less than a penny..."

Xu Bu Ling certainly didn't buy these things for Jiujiu to repay the favor. The last time they kissed Jiujiu made it clear. However, Zhongli Jiujiu insisted on settling accounts and drawing a clear line. Naturally, he would not show any courtesy casually. He just nodded:

"That's natural."

Ning Yuhe became angry when he saw Zhongli Jiujiu like this, and replied: "If you are greedy, you will fall into trouble sooner or later."

Zhongli Jiujiu said "cut~" and ignored it completely.

While chatting, they came to an abandoned house deep in the alley. The nightingale was entering the yard carrying a bucket. After seeing the three people, she ran over with admiration in her eyes:

"Master, you are so amazing, and Sister Jiujiu."

Zhongli Jiujiu smiled brightly and nodded: "That's right, sister, I helped a lot. It's not like that person who ran to kill Wu Kui with this sword, but couldn't hold him back and escaped only after being hugged by his apprentice... …”

Ning Yuhe's face turned a little red, but she was indeed infatuated. It was hard to explain, so she could only snort coldly.

Several people entered the abandoned courtyard and looked up to see Zhu Liu with a bandage on his arm, sitting on a chair under the eaves with his eyes closed and concentrating. But closing your eyes and concentrating is not meditating to regulate your breath.

When Xu Buling entered the yard, he saw Xiao Manzhi standing next to his father with his arms crossed, his eyes wide open and he was chattering fiercely:

"Dad! Why did you hide it from me? Why did you run away from home? Do you know how I came here all these years? I lived in precarious life and lived a simple life. I slept from three to five every day. I even had to plan to buy some clothes for the New Year. After thinking about it for a long time, I spent all the money I saved on you..."

The days are precarious, sleeping in the middle of the night and getting up in the fifth...

Xu Buling recalled how Xiao Manzhi went to the teahouse and listened to storytelling every day, and for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate it.

Sword Master Zhu Liu lost all his majesty at this time. He sat on the bench with his eyes closed and pretended to be dead. He didn't say a word for a long time, looking like "I'm meditating, don't disturb Dad."

It's just that they haven't seen each other for more than two years. Manzhi turned from fourteen to sixteen. It's self-evident how much grievances and longings he felt in his heart. He crossed his arms and chattered endlessly, looking like he was going to annoy his biological father to death.

However, after seeing Xu Buling coming back, Zhu Manzhi stopped talking, and his fierce face suddenly turned red. It was like his boyfriend was caught secretly by his father. He glanced around a few times and took advantage of Zhu Liu not opening his eyes. Opening his eyes, he hurriedly ran into the house without even saying hello.

Ning Yuhe and Zhu Liu were not familiar with each other, so they nodded slightly and ran to find Xiao Manzhi.

Zhongli Jiujiu is a doctor. No matter whether you are a sword master or a martial arts master, you have to obey her instructions when you are injured. Zhu Liu does not have the awe of seeing his seniors. He behaves naturally and walks under the eaves, dragging Xu Buling to a halt. Here comes the stool:

"Come and sit down, I'll show you if you're hurt."

This was not the first time Xu Buring met Zhu Liu, and there was nothing to be nervous about. He sat down on the stool next to Zhu Liu with the wine jar, asked Jiujiu to check his body, and said:

"Uncle Zhu, how is your injury?"

The annoying girl finally hid in the house. Zhu Liucai took a long breath, opened his eyes, and said in a calm voice:

"Thanks."

Xu Bu Ling smiled kindly: "It's just a little effort. With my relationship with Uncle Zhu, it's my duty to do it when I encounter that kind of situation."

Zhongli Jiujiu sat on a small bench, put Xu Buling's hand on her thigh, took her pulse carefully, and joked after hearing the sound:

"You can do it. If it weren't for my sister and me, both of you, father-in-law and son-in-law, would have been beaten to death."

"..."

Xu Bu Ling's expression froze, and after thinking for a while, he had nothing to say.

Zhu Liu did not deny this, nodded and said: "Thank you for your help, miss. Eunuch Jia is a man with superb martial arts skills, which is difficult for ordinary people to match. Even if I fight alone, it will be difficult to take advantage of him. As for Prince Xu, I have nothing to do with my bare hands." I am still able to get close, but if I use a sword, I am afraid I won’t be able to touch the corners of Eunuch Jia’s clothes.”

Xu Buling nodded: "Eunuch Jia has lived his whole life to protect the three emperors of Dayue. It would be unbelievable if he didn't have this ability. However, Eunuch Jia is indeed old and unable to do what he wants. The day I can catch up will probably be very long." It’s a pity that we can’t fight each other again.”

Zhu Liu snorted lightly: "Since ancient times, outstanding people have emerged from generation to generation in the world. Every time you take a step forward, you will encounter fewer opponents, but there will never be a shortage. There is no true invincible in the world. Wait until you have gone far enough." If you are far away, you will understand.”

Xu Buling frowned slightly when he heard this:

"Is there anyone in the world whose swordsmanship is better than Uncle Zhu's?"

Zhu Liu simply shook his head: "No."

"..."

Yes, it means that if you can show off, Mr. Taishan, as a son-in-law, I can only be in awe and not be arrogant...

Xu Buling couldn't talk back to his father-in-law, so he humbly accepted the advice and nodded seriously.

Zhongli Jiujiu's martial arts skills can only be regarded as "longer" between the two, but his views on martial arts are not low, and he added with a smile:

"Contemporary sword masters are naturally unparalleled in swordsmanship. However, there are many strange people in the world. In a real life-and-death fight, no one has a 100% chance of winning. Just like me, I will definitely not be able to beat you two with my fists and kicks, but I can't beat you two with my feet. Throw in the Locking Dragon Gu, and you two will definitely run away..."

Zhu Liu nodded: "That's true. When the manpower will eventually be exhausted, no matter how high the martial arts is, one person and one sword can't solve everything. You can still escape when you encounter the locking dragon Gu, but when you encounter the crossbow array of the border army, you can't solve the problem with a single crossbow." The arrow can be shot for 1,500 steps without even a chance to escape."

Xu Buling said with a smile: "That is natural. If it were not so, the people who rule the world would be warriors, and there would be no literati with pens."

After casually exchanging a few words about martial arts practice, Zhongli Jiujiu checked the internal energy and blood flow, and after they were stable and normal, he began to check whether the wounds on Xu Buling's body had collapsed.

But just as Zhongli Jiujiu pulled down the robe from Xu Buling's shoulders, she found a few red marks scratched by fingernails on Xu Buling's back shoulders. She couldn't help but wonder:

"What kind of trick did this leave? The injury is so strange..."

Zhu Liu was a master of martial arts and had a deep understanding of all the martial arts moves in the world. He turned his head and glanced, ready to help Zhongli Jiujiu solve his doubts. However, he saw the scratches on his future son-in-law's back shoulders and his eyes as sharp as swords. , obviously stiffened.

With this kind of injury, anyone who is not a yellow-haired boy will know how to catch it, not to mention Zhu Liu's daughter running all over the world.

Xu Bu Ling's expression froze, and his old face that had always been stern and unusual turned slightly red at this time. He coughed lightly and pulled up his robe, and said calmly:

"The situation was chaotic. It should have been an accidental scratch."

Zhongli Jiujiu was still a young girl, and all she knew about men and women was in medical books. The medical books did not say that after men and women have sex, nail marks will be left on the shoulders and back. She frowned and said:

"Do you think I'm stupid? He was obviously caught. Judging from the angle, it should have been from under the ribs to the back, but the force was very light..."

Having said this, Zhongli Jiujiu finally realized what the posture was. Her charming cheeks turned red. Without saying a word, she stood up, kicked Xu Buring's legs, turned around and ran into the house.

There was silence under the eaves. The two men, Weng and his son-in-law, who were not yet officially married, stared at the snow in front of the court, relatively speechless.

Xu Buling wanted to slap Jiujiu on the butt twice, but obviously there was no chance at this time. He hesitated for a moment and chuckled:

"It's snowing a lot this year...well...why didn't Auntie come? Manzhi misses her very much..."

The father-in-law views his son-in-law, no matter how good he is, as a pig that treats cabbage. What's more, Xu Buling, on the surface, is a talented man with both civil and military skills, but secretly he is a playboy.

Zhu Liu couldn't help but cut Xu Buling with his sword, and his daughter was peeking in the room. What else could he do at this time?

"The snow is quite heavy... Manzhi's mother is not very skilled in martial arts and has lived in seclusion. I will go look for her after I finish my business and survive."

"oh……"

Xu Buling sat upright and thought for a moment: "By the way, Li Hansheng should have gone to Bodhi Island, and he hasn't arrived yet according to the time. I was in Longtan a few days ago and met Chen Daozi and a master who was sent by the King of Chu. , did not show up at the Tang family, so he must have gone to Bodhi Island..."

When Zhu Liu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he turned his head:

"Sure?"

Xu Buling nodded: "It's absolutely true. The sword wounds on my body were all caused by Chen Daozi. I returned a few blows to him at that time, but it only hurt my left arm, so it shouldn't affect my combat effectiveness."

Zhu Liu frowned: "No one else should know about this matter. Li Hansheng only took two people with him to Bodhi Island and left all the elites in the building with me. If Chen Daozi went to Bodhi Island, something might happen. ”

Xu Buling naturally knew that something was going to happen, and that something big was going to happen. He asked:

"Is King Wu looking for the imperial seal?"

"The rules of the world are not passed down between two people."

"I think that swordsman is Ding Yuan, the number one swordsman under the command of King Chu. His skills are not bad. Can Li Hansheng's leader be able to defeat the two of them together?"

Zhu Liu thought for a moment and shook his head: "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, the boat will capsize in the gutter." After saying this, he stood up and said: "I will go find the rest of Dayinglou. See you in the world."

Zhu Manzhi, who was pulling Dabai to eavesdrop, was unhappy when she saw that her father was about to leave without even mentioning her name. He ran out of the house and said anxiously and shyly:

"Dad, we just met, why did you leave just as you said..."

Zhu Liu, like all fathers, is not very good at dealing with his daughter's love affairs. He looked back at Manzhi and said softly:

"Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. Dad has some things to do. You can make your own decisions on some things. Your mother won't stop you."

After saying that, he stood up and jumped onto the wall.

Zhu Manzhi looked anxious, but more reluctant. He ran to the yard with a bit of grievance:

"Dad, why are you running? I know martial arts, it's not like I can't help..."

Ning Yuhe knew the seriousness of the matter. It was difficult for the family to reunite in the martial arts world. Zhu Liu couldn't stay with Manzhi until he finished his work. He walked out of the door and pulled Manzhi:

"Life is long, there will always be a time to meet again, Manzhi, be good, send your father off."

Zhu Manzhi puffed his cheeks and stared at Zhu Liu's back. His big eyes were obviously moist. After a long silence, he let out a faint "oh".

Xu Buling also stood up, walked to Manzhi, and looked at the wall:

"Uncle Zhu's right arm was injured. If he doesn't get it repaired, he will be hard to defend against the enemy. Be careful."

"No one wants to die if they can live. I will be there to drink at your wedding day."

After Zhu Liu responded, he jumped down from the wall, and after a few jumps, he disappeared between the houses...
