The prince is very fierce

After returning for a short stay, they left again. Although the girls on the building were a little reluctant to leave, they finally reunited and warmed up. The longing in their hearts was relieved and the atmosphere became lively.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Buling had been gone for three days, and the flying snow in the sky stopped, revealing the warm winter sun.

Xiao Xiang'er had been worrying about Xiaowan in the past few days. Now that Xiaowan went out with Xu Buling to relax, she felt a little more at ease. She opened the table with her sisters on the deck and played mahjong in the winter sun. .

Song Yufu and Chu Chu had already entered the door. Naturally, they took the role of younger sisters seriously, standing by and watching, and occasionally trying their hand at the table.

On the shore outside the boat, the snow has not yet melted. Manzhi and Qingye were fishing together, with two dogs and a goose squatting next to them.

Nightingale held a bunch of newly purchased copies of "The Sword Master Zhu Liu: The Golden Gun is Undefeated" and leaned under the willow tree to review it carefully.

Zhu Manzhi was originally sitting alone on the boat fishing. Now with company, he became much more active. He took the fishing rod and wrote a poem in a decent manner:

"Birds have disappeared from thousands of mountains, and human traces have disappeared from thousands of paths. I am alone in a boat with a coir raincoat, fishing alone in the snow in the cold river. How about this poem on a clear night?"

In the past, Zhu Manzhi was fishing alone on the shore. Cui Xiaowan read this poem after seeing it. Because of the lofty artistic conception, Manzhi actually remembered it.

It's just that Ning Qingye wasn't interested in poetry and poetry. She put the big fat fish she had just caught into the fish basket and said calmly:

"If you can't catch fish, you can't catch fish. You're fishing alone in Hanjiangxue. Why do you say it sounds so nice?"

"Hey--"

Zhu Manzhi looked down at his empty fish basket and said slightly dissatisfied:

"You should be calm when fishing and not seek utilitarianism. The important thing is the process rather than the result. I just like the artistic conception of fishing, but I don't really want to catch the fish... Hey, hey, I bit the bait, it seems to be a big guy..."

While he was talking, the fish float on the water moved. Zhu Manzhi immediately became very energetic and began to walk the fish skillfully.

Ning Qingye rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention. After continuing to throw the pole, her eyes turned to the river bank under the warm sun.

The building ship was docked outside Yueyang City, and there were Xiliang troops stationed nearby. There had been a truce for several months, and the trade routes had recovered somewhat. People from the Jianghu could occasionally be seen escorting convoys passing by on the official roads.

Ning Qingye looked at it for a moment, but before the big fish came up from the branches, a fast horse suddenly came running from the shore, with a scout from the Xiliang Army sitting on it.

Nightingale, who was leaning next to him, closed his book upon seeing this, raised his hand to let the scout come to him, and asked:

"What's up?"

Nightingale is Xu Buling's personal secretary. In the army, she is equivalent to Xu Buling's staff, and her rank is still very high.

The scout got off his horse, came to the front and raised his hand to salute:

"Just now outside the military camp, a woman from the Jianghu community stopped and asked. The woman said she came to see His Highness the Crown Prince. She did not identify herself, but only said that she knew His Highness the Crown Prince. Seeing that the girl was extremely beautiful in her humble position, she did not dare to expel her. Come and ask."

An extremely handsome woman from the world?

Looking for Xu Bu Ling?

When Ning Qingye and Zhu Manzhi heard this, they both turned their heads, with suspicious looks in their eyes.

Nightingale was also quite surprised. She actually didn’t know how many women there were outside her young master, so she frowned and asked:

"What does it look like?"

The scout recalled it for a moment and said seriously: "He is tall, wearing ordinary military uniforms, and has a silver scimitar with a bead in its mouth and a whip on his waist. It does not look like an ordinary weapon..."

"Chen Sining?"

Before the scout finished speaking, Ning Qingye stood up and said with some surprise:

"Why did she come here?"

Nightingale was equally at a loss. Chen Sining was the third princess of South Vietnam. Now that South Vietnam had surrendered, Chen Sining was demoted to the title of princess. She should have followed Chen Jin to Chang'an City to join the feudal vassal. Why did she come here?

Seeing the two people's reactions, Zhu Manzhi stood up and approached Ning Qingye, asking:

"Xiao Ning, isn't Chen Sining the one who is better than me in everything and older than me as you said?"

"That's it, you're probably going to be the youngest."

"?"

Before Zhu Manzhi could figure out the situation, Ning Qingye and Nightingale followed the scouts to the nearby military camp.

Zhu Manzhi couldn't think of fishing at this time, so he quickly dropped his fishing rod and trotted over...

______

Outside Yueyang City, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are stationed here. The war will not start until spring. Preparations are being made around the military camp, including building siege equipment, troop transport ships, etc.

The military discipline of the Xiliang Army is very strict. Even if it is not a war, it is still solemn and solemn. The black flags are flapping in the wind. Apart from the sound of horses' hooves and armor rubbing against each other, there is basically no human noise in the military camp.

A temporary garrison wall was built outside the military camp. Chen Sining was standing outside the cordon holding her horse. Her long blue and white dress was replaced by a common military uniform in the Central Plains. She looked quite heroic with her leggings and wrist guards. At this time, he stood on tiptoes and looked at the military camp that stretched to the end of his field of vision with a bit of amazement.

Chen Sining grew up in South Vietnam. As a noble princess, she has naturally seen military camps, but this is the first time she has seen such a large and neat one.

Before coming, Chen Sining was still a little regretful about South Vietnam's acceptance of the land as a vassal. She felt that if her father had not been murdered by gangsters, South Vietnam would not be in the current situation.

But after seeing the military camp with more than 100,000 people stationed in front of him, Chen Sining realized that his previous ideas were too naive; Dayue really wanted to mobilize the whole country to attack South Vietnam, but South Vietnam had no chance of winning. He had never done that before, and he just Because there are strong enemies in the north, there is not much use in defeating them.

In the military camp, there are ten thousand tiger and horse riders in armor. At this time, a small team is training. The tall horses are fully armored. There are knights like iron towers sitting on them. Even their faces are covered tightly, leaving only the eyes. A gap. Just one person and one horse marching there was a steel fortress. Chen Sining could not imagine how spectacular the scene of thousands or even tens of thousands of horsemen charging into the formation was.

After waiting for a moment outside the military camp, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

Chen Sining came back to her senses and turned to look around. When she saw Nightingale and Ning Qingye, she suddenly became a little cautious. She quickly pressed back, pretending to be calm as usual, and raised her hand to wave:

"Miss Ning, Sister Ye."

The two little snakes heard the sound and seemed to know that they would have delicious food soon. They both got out of Chen Sining's arms and looked around.

The weather in South Vietnam is hot and not too cold in winter, but this is not the case in Chu Di. During the cold winter season with blizzards, the temperature is extremely low. The two little snakes would freeze to death if they did not hibernate, so they could only hide in Chen Sining's arms. It relies on body temperature to keep warm, but even so, it looks a little wilted.

After Nightingale and Ning Qingye confirmed that it was Chen Sining, although they were doubtful, they still showed joy and said remotely:

"Miss Chen."

Chen Sining led the horse forward, and was about to say something. Suddenly, he found that there was a little girl following behind the two of them. She was as round as a porcelain doll, with big eyes that looked very spiritual. She was young, and her breasts were very big. It was scary. While trotting while holding up the hem of her skirt, the rough waves made people worry that the little girl lost her center of gravity and fell.

Chen Sining raised her eyebrows and looked down at herself. Feeling that she was inferior, she subconsciously straightened up, walked forward and said with a smile:

"Long time no see, you two, um...who is this girl?"

When Zhu Manzhi discovered a new rival in love, he must not show any cowardice. He was about to introduce himself, "I am the direct descendant of the Zhu family in Youzhou, the eldest granddaughter of the sword master Zhu Choushan, the sixth legitimate daughter of the sword master Zhu Chou, and a mixed number given by Jianghu people as the Fenhe Sword." god'.

But before she opened her mouth, Ning Qingye took the lead and introduced:

"Her name is Zhu Manzhi, a friend I met in Chang'an. Why did Miss Chen come here?"

Zhu Manzhi choked on his words and skipped the topic. It was a bit awkward to forcefully introduce himself, so he could only nod and stand behind to listen.

When asked about the purpose of her visit, Chen Sining was obviously a little panicked. She definitely didn't dare to tell anyone about her father's plan to get married. She just used the excuse she had thought of on the way and explained:

"After Sister Zhongli left, Aqing and Abaicha didn't think about food and kept craving for Sister Zhongli's rations. Now that Nanyue and Dayue have become a family, I can be considered a member of Dayue. Anyway, I have to go to Chang'an. Follow me. The procession was boring, so I took Ah Qing and Ah Bai through early. You don’t mind me coming uninvited, right?”

"Ms. Chen's words are serious. We are all friends, why should we say such unintentional words."

Ning Qingye actually quite believed Chen Sining's explanation, because the two little snakes opened their mouths and cried for food, so they ran towards the boat.

Now that South Vietnam has surrendered, Chen Jin has been granted the title of King of Pingyang, and Chen Sining has naturally become the princess of Dayue. To put it bluntly, her title is only slightly lower than that of Xu Buling, and she is considered a top-notch prince and noblewoman in Dayue.

Nightingale naturally did not neglect Chen Sining. She helped lead the horse and raised her hand:

"Miss Chen, please come. Sister Zhongli is on the boat. I will take you there."

"oh."

Chen Sining nodded, arranged her hair a little, walked beside the three of them, and asked:

"The weather is nice today. Is Mr. Xu in the military camp or with Sister Zhongli and the others?"

Zhu Manzhi, who had always been familiar with himself, walked in front of Chen Sining and said with a smile:

"If Miss Chen comes to see Mr. Xu, I'm afraid she'll be late. Mr. Xu left for business two days ago and will probably come back after the new year."

? ?

When Chen Sining heard this, her footsteps stopped sharply.

She traveled nearly two thousand miles to find this place...

Gone?

That's not a waste of time!

Zhu Manzhi's mind was not as quick as usual. Seeing Chen Sining's reaction, he understood Chen Sining's true intention, but he did not point it out. He just said curiously:

"Miss Chen, why don't you leave?"

"oh……"

Chen Sining came back to her senses and continued walking forward with a smile:

"It's nothing, um... A Qing misses Mr. Xu very much. If he is not here, I'm afraid A Qing will be a little disappointed."

Ah Qing, who was leaning in his arms, shook his head blankly, obviously not understanding what his master meant.

Ning Qingye couldn't see the twists and turns in Chen Sining's heart, so she shook her head and said:

"With Jiujiu here, Ah Qing shouldn't miss Xu Buling too much. Let's go back to the ship first. Manzhi keeps talking about the noodles you cooked, which just opened her eyes."

"That's natural."

Chen Sining was a little absent-minded, replied with a smile, and followed the three of them to the building...
