The night was quiet and the cottage was silent.

Ning Qingye's eyes were a little wary, but more doubtful, he pursed his lips to relieve the discomfort in his throat before he spoke weakly:

"Why didn't you leave?"

Xu Buling repaired the window and said casually: "I just walked a short distance and saw you fall to the ground." It's so cold, I'm sure I'm going to get frostbite tomorrow morning, so I'll bring you here...... This yard should be unoccupied, and there is no firewood for the landlord to run over, and there is no firewood......"

The voice is smooth and magnetic, just like talking to an old friend I haven't seen for many years, without the arrogance of an ordinary rich man.

Ning Qingye closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, his face gradually recovered, his qi smoothed down a little, and his mind gradually cleared. turned his head to look at Xu Buling, who was talking to himself, and was silent for a long time:

"Why save me?"

Xu Buling blinked his eyes, slightly amused: "When you meet someone who is about to die, you can't just leave it alone, huh...... Just now you said that I am a good person and don't kill people, I think you should be a woman, what kind of morality do you ......"

Ning Qingye sat up with difficulty, holding the fluffy fox fur on his body, still a little guarded:

"It's a great achievement for you to report to the official to arrest me...... If you save me, the detective department's impermanence will definitely cause you trouble......"

When Xu Buling heard this, he shook his head and laughed:

"I am the eldest son of King Su Xu You, you have the audacity to kidnap me, it's good if I don't go back and don't trouble the Investigation Division, what trouble can there be?"

Ning Qingye was stunned for a moment, and then remembered how detached Xu Buling's identity was, how could an investigation department dare to find trouble with the Xu family with a different surname. She thought for a moment:

"I have heard of the prestige of General Xu for a long time, but today I was forced to offend my son...... My name is Ning Qingye, I owe you a favor, and I will repay you in the future......"

Xu Buling shook his head, took the wine gourd from his waist, and handed it to Ning Qingye:

"Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion, I don't want to watch people freeze to death if you save you, if you are a thief, you can dissociate yourself from me, what happened tonight didn't happen."

Ning Qingye took the wine gourd and bowed slightly: "I assassinated Zhang Xiang just to avenge my personal revenge, ten years ago Zhang Xiang killed my mother, the people of the rivers and lakes have revenge and revenge, and they have kindness to repay kindness, not rebellion......" As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug, leaned over to the slightly whitish slender lips and took a sip.

Xu Buling hooked the corners of his mouth: "The girl is so beautiful." ”

“……”

Maybe I have never seen such a straight man's flirting methods, Ning Qingye's eyebrows are lightly raised with a little inexplicable. In the past, it must have been colored, but the other party was kind to her, and at this time he just pursed his lips and smiled, and diverted the topic:

"Your name is Xu Buling?"

"Yes, the girl has heard of my name?"

Ning Qingye thought about it for a while, and nodded lightly: "In the past, I heard from the masters on the rivers and lakes that there was a genius over there in Xiliang, as if it was some kind of 'dragon tendon and tiger bone unicorn strength', a martial arts wizard that is rare in a hundred years...... An old Taoist in Wudang Mountain also ran over to accept apprentices, but unfortunately that person's status was too high and he couldn't look down on those who were mixed with the rivers and lakes, so he drove the old Taoist out of the country...... You're talking about you, right? ”

Xu Buling nodded, there was no one in his eyes before, and he did drive many gangsters out of the door.

"At that time, I was young and ignorant, if those seniors came to the door now......"

"Will you apprentice?"

"I will give some money to travel, so that they will not be so embarrassed to walk."

“……”

Ning Qingye blinked, stopped talking, and finally just shook his head and smiled. The temperament is naturally cold, and this smile really has a bit of the cold and glamorous feeling of the first bloom of the snow lotus.

Ning Qingye slowed down for a moment, recovered most of his strength, lifted the fox fur and sat down on the side of the wooden bed, picked up the long sword on the ground, and looked at Xu Buling, who was standing next to him:

"You're poisoned?"

Xu Buling nodded, a little helpless: "The girl has good eyesight." ”

Ning Qingye pondered for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Xu Buling's wrist, and felt it slightly.

Xu Buling didn't resist, just chuckled.

Ning Qing's night pulse felt it for a moment, and then there was a bit of caution between his eyebrows, and he carefully looked at it a few times:

"Last time I was in Sun's shop, I saw that you were vain and had been drinking spirits for many years, so I guessed, but I didn't expect that the real one was 'Lock Dragon Cup'......"

Xu Buling withdrew his hand: "The girl has a way to detoxify?" ”

Ning Qingye shook his head: "Lock Dragon Gu is a strange poison, there is no one in ten martial arts, once you force your anger, you will either die or be disabled, and most of you will not survive for three years if you lie down honestly, and I have never heard of a way to resolve it...... You can move freely, and your previous martial arts are probably very high. ”

Xu Buling smiled kindly: "In the past, she was a little worse than a girl, and she was also a hero, but now she is not much different from a waster." ”

The lack of ability of the martial artist is equivalent to the bankruptcy of the gentry, and few people in the rivers and lakes can withstand this kind of blow.

Ning Qingye's eyes showed a little embarrassment, moved to the side a little, patted the bed board and signaled Xu Buling to sit down:

"It's usually hard, isn't it? I heard that if you fall into the Lock Dragon Gu, you will suffer from ten thousand ants devouring your heart day and night, and life is better than death. ”

Xu Buling sat side by side with Ning Qingye on the edge of the bed: "Drinking strong wine can temporarily suppress Gu poison, but it's nothing." ”

"Who harmed you?"

"Hmmm......"

Xu Buling frowned and thought about it, and shook his head slightly:

"I don't know, it's being tracked down. If it is the people of the rivers and lakes to take revenge, it is easy to say, if it is ......"

Xu Buling stopped talking here, looked in the direction of the palace, and sighed faintly.

If it was as he thought, it was the emperor who made the Emperor Su lose his veins or cut the feudal clan behind his back, and he might not have his life to get out of Chang'an City alive.

Ning Qingye felt the worry in Xu Buling's mood, and hesitated slightly:

"Your family is so good, detoxification should not be a problem, the illness is born from the heart, and you may be able to live for two more days if you relax."

Obviously, Ning Qingye is not usually very comforting.

Xu Buling nodded and chuckled, his gaze turned to the Qingfeng long sword between the two.

The sword is three feet two long, the hilt is wrapped with a green rope, and the scabbard is a new one, which is a bit inappropriate.

Xu Buling used to be a martial arts idiot, and he knew far more about weapons than poetry and books, and after looking at it for a few times, he picked up the long sword, and flicked the sword three inches with his fingers, showing a cold glow in the faint light of the fire fold.

Xu Bu let his fingers rub over the blade of the sword:

"Good sword...... Is this a wounded spring? ”

Ning Qingye looked at the slender blade, and his eyes showed a little sadness:

"My mother's sword died in the hands of Zhang Xiang ten years ago, and the sword was taken away by the imperial court, and it was only snatched back today."

Xu Buling put the sword back into its scabbard, thought about it, but had nothing to say.

Ning Qingye obviously didn't talk much, and Xu Buling didn't talk much, so the room was quiet.

Ning Qingye raised his hand, hooked the hair next to his ear, and took a small sip of wine gourd to quench his thirst, maybe he felt that the current atmosphere was a little strange, but he didn't know how to communicate with the son of this high-ranking prince.

Tossed for half the night, the time was already early in the morning.

Xu Buling didn't stay long, picked up the wine gourd and stood up: "Leave first, the Royal Forest Army will search the city soon in order to find me." I'll say hello to the Guards, and say that you've absconded out of the city, so you can rest here for the next few days. ”

When Fang Cai was unconscious, he didn't harm Ning Qingye, Ning Qingye naturally believed this, hesitated a little, and asked softly:

"Why help me?"

"Everyone has a love for beauty, and men are all virtuous."

Xu Buling said casually, then went out and closed the door.

Ning Qingye was stunned for a while, and only after a little reaction did he react, his cold face showed a little annoyance, and after saying "Dengzi" without discipline, he lay down.

It's just that soon, she found that there was still a fluffy fox fur beside her, remembering that Xu Buling's poisoned body was cold, she quickly sat up again, was seriously injured and unsteady on her feet, and staggered to the door: "Eh~ wait......"

When I opened the door, there was a bleak wind and snow outside, and there was only a string of footprints left on the snow surface above the fallen leaves, and there was still half a figure there.

Ning Qingye blinked, stood with the gorgeous fox fur in his arms for a while, and finally just shook his head and smiled, perhaps because he felt that this little prince was not deeply involved in the world, and was a little too stupid......
