Chapter 50: Return to Chang'an
In the blink of an eye, in the middle of April, after a month of recuperation in Furong Guan, Xu Buling's body gradually improved, and the Queen Mother had already returned to Chang'an first, and it was pointless to stay any longer, so she returned with Mrs. Lu.
More than a month down, Chang'an has turned from spring to early summer, the breeze blows thousands of willows, the slightly stuffy weather makes most of the people go out of the door, in the tea stalls and wine shops around the street to comment on the progress of the competition outside the Longyin Pavilion, the scene is actually similar to watching the game, each has its own supporters, guessing who will go to the end to challenge the big devil.
As the guard of the Great Demon King, Xu Buling didn't care about the movement in the market, and after sending Mrs. Lu back to the courtyard of Jinghuayuan, he took Master Bai back to the palace.
The palace of King Su has already bloomed with a hundred flowers, because there is no one to live in the garden, the garden is a little messy, and the guards are acting as industrious little gardeners to prune and shears around.
Xu Buling pushed open the door of the study, and pointed to the side room on the left side in a blink of an eye:
"Master, you live there first, although the palace is big, there are not a few people, most of the mansions are locked and not cleaned up, and Lao Xiao will send someone to clean it up later."
Ning Yu was dressed in a light black robe, holding a long sword in his hand, and his outfit was plain and elegant. He turned his head to look at the wing room close to the main house, and nodded slightly:
"There's no need to clean up, I won't stay in the capital for long, just live here."
"Be cautious in the capital, don't dare to recruit servants easily, only a few guards, and all of them are men. I'm afraid that the master has to do it himself, so the master should not be too careful. ”
"I'm a monk, and I'm not a big lady, so I don't need to be served."
Ning Yuhe smiled and followed Xu Buling's footsteps into the study, keeping his eyes on the back of Xu Buling's head.
Xu Buling was actually a little aware that Ning Yuhe had been secretly looking at him behind his back these days, and he didn't know why. After walking into the study, I thought about it, turned around and asked:
"Master, is there anything else?"
"Oh......"
Ning Yuhe came back to his senses, only to find that he had followed Xu Buling into the house. She hurriedly suppressed the slight suspicion in her heart, and swept towards all kinds of things in the study—desks, cabinets, and weapon racks, and nothing else.
Ning Yuhe has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his interest in famous swords goes without saying, so he just swept around, and then set his eyes on the sword in the horizontal square - the scabbard is snow-white, three feet and three inches long, and there is no pearl and jade decoration on the whole body, and it shows its edge before it is unsheathed.
Ning Yuhe walked slowly to him, raised his hand to pick up the long sword, flicked his fingers and slashed out three inches, and the four small characters engraved on the seal showed 'do not order' in the cold light.
"Is this a gall?"
Xu Buling walked to Ning Yu's side and chuckled: "Exactly, when I was full moon, my father spent a lot of effort to collect the full moon ceremony. Next to this is the 'Black Tide', the treasure knife hidden in the treasury of the Great Qi Dynasty in the previous dynasty, and it was obtained when Jiazi broke Chang'an...... Originally, there was also a horse lance, which Emperor Xiaozong gave to my grandfather, which was too long to carry, and was placed in Suzhou City. ”
Ning Yuhe nodded, although he knew how big the vassal king's family business was, but the magic weapons that could only be heard in the mouth of the storyteller on weekdays were placed everywhere like this, and it was still a bit eye-opening, holding the sword and looking at it carefully, before closing it and putting it back, and then turned to look at the four-foot long knife next to him.
Xu Buling has nothing to do at home, and he will naturally not dislike having the first beautiful master in the world before yesterday to accompany him, standing next to him and introducing it carefully, but every time he stands with Ning Yuhe, something in his mind will always appear in his mind, resulting in a somewhat strange look.
Ning Yuhe watched for a moment, then didn't stay long, turned around and walked out of the room:
"I'm afraid I don't have time to practice swords when I just came back today, so I'll go down and rest first."
"Okay, Master, go slowly."
Xu Buling was sent out of the room, and after Ning Yuhe entered the wing room not far away, he turned around and walked into the bedroom, took off his robe and began to freshen up......
--------
"Okay—"
"Hiss - what a way to flirt with the legs......"
On the ring between the five high-rise buildings in the Longyin Pavilion, countless young warriors who were wandering in the capital were in full swing on the stage, and there were several well-known elders in Chang'an sitting next to the ring as referees, and the onlookers cheered loudly one after another.
Zhu Manzhi hugged his chest and stood on tiptoe to look, because his height was incomparable with that of the man who broke into the rivers and lakes, he could only see the situation clearly by standing on the steps in the distance, and there was still a little disgust in his eyes - after all, he had seen Xu Buling alone in Longtan, and these embroidered pillows were really boring to fight.
After watching idly for a while, Zhu Manzhi lost interest, turned around and walked out of Longyin Pavilion, looking for a storytelling tea shop and wine shop on the bustling Zhuangyuan Street, walked to the door and took a look, left if he heard it, and looked at the situation if he didn't hear it.
After wandering around for a long time, I finally found a tea shop that was talking about 'Sword Saint Zhu Six Nights to Break into the Shuai Mansion, and the Thirteen Heroes Blood Splashed Wolf's Lair', Zhu Manzhi hurriedly ran over and ordered a pot of tea and sat down at the table.
"Hey—there's someone at this table, you ......"
Zhu Manzhi immediately frowned, turned his head to look, but saw a handsome boy sitting at the table, white jade like snow sword eyebrows like ink, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a little smile, and was pouring tea by himself.
“……”
Zhu Manzhi was immediately stunned, Fang Cai's momentum was gone, he sat down with a twist, his big eyes swept to the small skirt on his body, and he raised his hand to touch the hairpin on his head to check if there was anything untidy.
"Xu Gongzi, are you back?"
"Uh-huh."
Xu Buling poured a cup of this year's new Longjing before the rain, and his eyes swept to Zhu Manzhi - a white short shirt, a dark red skirt, a beautiful double bun, a bulging chest, and embroidered petals on the placket, which looked like Si Swenwen, almost the same as Song Yufu.
"Manzhi, why are you dressed like this?"
"Hmm...... Is it good-looking? ”
Zhu Manzhi grinned, and hurriedly raised his sleeves to cover the corners of his mouth, learning well.
Xu Buling glanced at it a few times: "It's good-looking, but it used to look more comfortable." I treat you as a brother, and you dress up as a girl, and it's very awkward. ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Manzhi's face stiffened, he looked down at the skirt on his body, and muttered in a low voice:
"But...... I didn't go to the wolf guard, and my clothes were returned...... Speaking of this, I'm angry, the wolf guard's clothes were obviously bought by me with my own money, and I have to take them back when I leave, what's the reason......"
Xu Buling already knew, and smiled lightly: "You don't belong to the wolf guard, what do you rely on to eat?" ”
Zhu Manzhi had already planned for this, and took a sip of the tea bowl in both hands, and his eyes aimed at Xu Buling:
"I've saved some money, and it's okay to eat and dress for a short time...... Why don't I be my son's bodyguard? Although my martial arts are a little worse, but my father is very good, with me sitting in the Su Wangfu, whoever dares to make trouble will report my father's name, and ensure that no one dares to beat me......"
Xu Buling thought about it and made an embarrassed appearance:
"Manzhi, with the friendship between the two of us, how can we say that we can be a guard. You don't want to ask me for a monthly fee, do you? That hurts so much ......."
“?”
Zhu Manzhi, who has always been a white prostitute of others, blinked when he heard the words, pursed his lips and thought for a while, and whispered:
"Naturally, you can't ask Gongzi for silver...... Don't you care? The palace is so big, there should be a place to live......"
Xu Buling was a little amused, and raised his hand to rub her well-groomed hair:
"Cook your own food, clean up the house. Let's go, go to the Dragon Yin Pavilion, and I'll have to educate a few children later. ”
Zhu Manzhi smiled and nodded, raised his hand to straighten his head, and trotted behind Xu Buling:
"Okay, I'll go back to pack up my things when I'm done, and the yard will be returned to the owner."
"You're in a hurry, aren't you afraid that I don't want you?"
"Hey~ Xu Gongzi, we are brothers of the opposite sex, we have nowhere to settle in the capital, and it is human and sophisticated to live in your house for a few days, if you don't agree, you won't be considered a ......."
"Hehe......"
