A few days later, in the early morning, there was a crowd of people outside Suwang's Mansion, and the things he was carrying had already been loaded into the car.

Because Xu Buling was ambushed once last time, he didn't bring ordinary thugs this time, and there were only a few dozen guards, all of whom were guests of some weight in the palace. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the team did not make a big fanfare, only brought some maids who served their daily lives, disguised themselves as merchant ships, and quietly passed over.

In the ancestral hall of the Xu family behind the main hall of the palace, Xu Buling wore a white robe and stood in front of several spiritual thrones and seriously put on the pillar incense.

Lao Xiao stood in front of him with a cane, with a little pity on his face:

"There were too many people who provoked on the rivers and lakes before, but now that I'm older, I really don't dare to go, otherwise I will definitely accompany the little prince on a trip."

Xu Buling finished the incense, and looked at the surrounding weapon racks: "Don't worry, I met a rare book on the road, and I will definitely collect them all for you." ”

Lao Xiao smiled, with a look of 'the little prince understands me', walked up to him and swept around:

"What weapons are you going to bring with you when you go out this time?"

Xu Buling looked at the magic weapons in the hall, but it was actually a little difficult to choose:

"How many do you always recommend?"

Lao Xiao pondered for a while, and walked to the weapon rack: "The knife is the overlord of the soldiers, you can't run the rivers and lakes without a knife, the previous one was too long and heavy, it was used in the battle array, and it was not suitable." This 'drunken bamboo knife' is forged by a famous craftsman in the previous dynasty, there is no allusion, and a famous swordsman is needed to open for it, I think the little prince is quite suitable. ”

Xu Buling walked to the front and took the drunken bamboo knife from Lao Xiao's hand - the scabbard is bamboo, three feet long and weighs four catties, and the knife is flicked out by one inch with his fingers, and it can be seen that the knife body is engraved with bamboo lines, and the cold is pressing.

Xu Buling weighed it in his hand, put the knife into the sheath, and nodded slightly.

Lao Xiao swept around, and then took the walking lance water dragon yin: "This plus the little prince's sword is almost the same, in fact, with the skills of the little prince, he still chases people with a kitchen knife." ”

Xu Buling did not deny this, put away the dragon pattern lance, and turned his head to look outside:

"Nightingale, come in."

"Oh."

The nightingale, who was standing outside the ancestral hall and waiting, quickly ran into the ancestral hall when he heard the sound, and waited for orders beside Xu Buling.

In the past few days, the nightingale has been in Xu Buling's courtyard, and they have become familiar with each other a lot, and the initial little restraint is gone, at this time, she is wearing a light cyan tight long skirt, leather wrist guards and cuffs, and still ties her hair into big braids, looking heroic and full of aura.

Although the nightingale is not exactly a maid, the daughter's family is generally not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and when she came in for the first time, she looked at the precious blades that filled the hall with wide eyes, as if she was identifying which ones she had seen in books.

Xu Buling liked this very capable little secretary, raised his chin lightly and said:

"You don't seem to have a blade with you, it's inconvenient to go out, pick a convenient one and use it first."

The nightingale was Xu Buling's maid, and it was natural to take a weapon from the master's hand, and he did not refuse, and after looking around, he trotted to a weapon rack, raised his slender fingers, and pointed to the mace on it:

"Childe, is this okay?"

"Uh......"

Xu Bulai's face was full of black lines.

Old Xiao Mo's crutches: "This 'dragon pestle' has some origins, but you are a girl's family, and you use this thing to walk the rivers and lakes, so you have to laugh people to death, change it." ”

Xu Buling nodded: "Yes, change it to a good-looking one." ”

The nightingale was a little disappointed, glanced at the mace reluctantly, and then turned to look at the octagonal long-handled copper hammer next to him, which was about forty pounds.

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead, walked to him, took the sword and handed it to her:

"It's said that you have a slender physique, and you are not suitable for taking the road of being fierce and domineering, so use this."

The nightingale took the sword with both hands, held it in his arms and nodded:

"Okay."

Although his expression was very serious, Xu Buling could feel that this girl was still a little unhappy, but he couldn't go out with a little maid with a mace in hand, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, and took the nightingale out of the palace together.

On the other side, in the back house of the palace, the accompanying maids were all ready to go, waiting in the corridor with luggage.

In the boudoir, Mrs. Lu, who was wearing a light green dress, sat on the bed, looked at the bulging futon, and raised her hand and swayed with some annoyance:

"Don't sleep, the sun is drying your buttocks, haven't you forgotten to leave today? A whole bunch of people were waiting outside ......"

"Hmm~~ Sleep a little longer......"

In the bedding, Xiao Xiang'er was tightly covered from head to toe, wrapping herself as a caterpillar, but she refused to get up.

Mrs. Lu was a little helpless, so she raised her hand and patted her twice: "Xiang'er, if you don't get up again, I'll let the maid come in and carry you out like this." ”

Xiao Xiang'er twisted around for a moment, and lifted the futon with some annoyance, revealing her messy hair, full of reluctance:

"Really going? Otherwise, I'll stay in Suzhou City......"

Mrs. Lu grabbed Xiao Xiang'er's arm and pulled her up hard: "It's all set up a long time ago, everything is ready, how can you do it if you don't leave now?" Hurry up and hit the road......"

The entanglement on Xiao Xiang'er's face was undisguised: "Do you still know that you are on the road?" I don't want to detoxify, it's not in accordance with the etiquette and the law, where can I have the face to go back? Maybe I'll be on the road when I go back, you let me think again. ”

Mrs. Lu didn't have much strength, and she really couldn't drag Xiao Xiang'er, so she was a little annoyed at the moment:

"Sticking out your head is a knife, shrinking your head is also a knife, if you want to live well, you have to go back and explain things clearly, otherwise what do you look like hiding all day long? With me and Ling'er here, your sister won't embarrass you, if she embarrasses you, I'll let Ling'er marry her and clean her up every day......"

"Whew—"

Xiao Xiang'er pursed her lips, she originally wanted to go home and confess, if it was difficult for her family to accept it, she would die with her will, and she lived quite comfortably with this idea. But when it's time to hit the road, it's natural to have stage fright. When she thought of her thoughtful and cold and serious sister, and found out that she had done such a ridiculous thing, Xiao Xiang'er felt shuddered, where was she embarrassed to go back.

"Let's go, let's wait for a while."

Mrs. Lu took the skirt and put it on Xiao Xiang'er's arm, opened the cabinet again, and pointed to the small box:

"Do you want to take this with you?"

"Alas......"

Xiao Xiang'er was so confused that she slapped it on the futon with some resignation, and then began to dress slowly.

After a while, Mrs. Lu walked out of the gate of the palace with a smile, and after saying goodbye to King Su, she boarded the carriage.

Xiao Xiang'er was wearing a red dress, trotting all the way with Qiao'e buried her head, and when she walked past Xu Buling, she glared angrily.

Xu Buling put the weapon on the carriage, and spread his hands a little innocently, not understanding why the baby who was still in love with the concubine last night suddenly became angry.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Buling also put it aside, turned around to look at King Su who saw him off, and said goodbye before leaving:

"Gone, Father."

Xu You was dressed in a python robe, standing under the octagonal archway of Baishi Avenue, and raised his hand:

"Go, don't rush back, the Xiao family is there, if you can marry Miss Xiao back, it's best if you can't marry back, don't force it if you don't marry back."

"Father, don't worry."

Xu Buling didn't say much, turned around and turned over on the horse.

The nightingale had a long sword hanging from his waist, and he also rode on a big white horse, walked beside Xu Buling, and seriously raised his horsewhip to the team behind him:

"Let's go to Jiangnan."

When the words fell, the fierce horse neighed, pointing directly at the Central Plains......
