Following.

Storm.

The spring breeze swept across the land, and as the light rain that lasted for many days stopped, Chang'an City seemed to transition from winter to spring overnight.

The corners of the deep streets and alleys have drawn out emerald green buds, the early spring swallows are chirping under the eaves of the palace, and the warm sun is sprinkled between the imperial city and the streets and alleys, and the eyes are full of vitality.

As the sun rose, Xu Buling got into the carriage again, took a bunch of small gifts, and walked on the road to the palace.

When the carriage came to the outside of the imperial city, the person who greeted it was finally replaced by Qiao'e, and the carved chariot was also carried out, so there was no need to walk in. It seems that the Queen Mother's anger has disappeared a little.

Xu Buling got out of the carriage with the gift box, handed over the things to Qiao'e to hold, and was about to enter the palace gate directly, but was alarmed by a greeting voice in the distance.

"Second Uncle......"

"Senior Situ ......"

The voice is rich and full of energy, but it doesn't sound very old.

Xu Buling glanced at it, and under the towering city wall, Situ Yueming, who was carrying the nine-ring sword, stood with his hands in his hands.

There were two young men in fancy clothes standing in front of them, carrying a sword and a sword, the one with the knife was tall, and the one with the sword was a few points thin and tall, looking like a Jianghu person.

Liu Yunlin, the deputy envoy of the Investigation Department, stood beside him and spoke in a friendly manner.

The two sides were not far away, Situ Yueming obviously noticed Xu Buling's gaze, turned his head to look, was slightly surprised, and raised his hand to salute:

"See the prince of Su."

Liu Yunlin turned his head, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly smiled and raised his hand to salute.

Compared with the elders who were on errands in the imperial court, the two young men heard the name of 'Xu Buling', and they both squinted and looked carefully before raising their hands and clenching their fists.

There is a saying called 'not vigorous, how to count young people', Xu Buling was too famous in the past, he was almost known as the leader of the younger generation, and there were many people who were not convinced, these two peers obviously also had a bit of 'martial arts second' arrogance.

Xu Buling didn't mind this, because the Situ family was a famous family, not an ordinary miscellaneous fish, he thought about it, turned around and walked in front of the four of them, and bowed slightly:

"Senior Situ, who are these two?"

Most of the orthodox Jianghu guests value fame over profit, and they are called 'seniors' by the prince of the vassal king instead of calling them by name, Situ Yueming's expression is naturally a little more friendly, and he raised his hand politely:

"The prince is polite, he can't afford to be a 'senior'...... These two are my juniors, Situ Huyu and Tang Jiu, who are also a little famous in Chang'an, but they are definitely difficult to enter the eyes of the world. ”

Regarding the self-humility of the elders, Situ Huyu and Tang Jiu naturally nodded, raised their hands and saluted.

Xu Buling glanced at it, and he had heard of these two young people.

Situ Amber Yu is the youngest son of Situ Yue Ash, the first person in Tiannan Martial Arts, because Situ Yue Ash is respected by the people of the rivers and lakes as 'Sword Kui', Situ Amber Yu also has a mixed name of 'Little Knife Kui', it is said that the natural divine power knife can open the mountain, and he has become famous before he has traveled the world at a young age.

And Tang Jiu is the young master of the Tang family in Youzhou, and Ning Yu is a distant relative, with a slightly inferior reputation, but he is also the leader of the younger generation in Chang'an City.

Because Da Yue pays attention to 'both civil and military', it is difficult to develop the family business by relying on martial arts alone, and these two are currently studying in the capital to make friends, and they can be regarded as the future figures of the martial arts family.

Xu Buling raised his hand lightly and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Situ and Brother Tang, who have admired their names for a long time." ”

Situ Huyu is burly, has a personality that follows his father, is hearty, and does not pay much attention to rules and etiquette, so he smiled at this time:

"The prince has been promoted, Tang Jiu'er and I have been admired for a long time, since the prince came to Chang'an, I have always wanted to come to pay a visit."

It is said to be a visit, but in fact, it means to come to the door to ask for advice.

However, Xu Buling was hit by the Lock Dragon Gu, and there was no one in ten martial arts, which used to be pressed on the heads of the two of them, but now they can't be compared.

Tang Jiu just nodded and smiled, taking Xu Buling's polite words.

Liu Yunlin stood behind Situ Yueming, obscure and did not mean to step forward politely, so Situ Yueming opened his mouth to explain:

"In a few days, the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty will arrive in Chang'an, the group of barbarians of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Xu Jiajun can't help the battlefield on the battlefield, and they always want to find a place in other places.

The Great Yue Martial Artists have always been proud of themselves, Situ Huyu and Tang Jiu naturally didn't take the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty seriously, they just came here to accept the guidance of the secret guard masters. At this time, Situ Huyu patted his chest:

"Second uncle, don't worry, the best thing in Chang'an City is me and Tang Jiu'er, and when the time comes, we will take our lives on the line, and we won't let the court lose half of its face."

Tang Jiu held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Zuo Yezi's master is the national teacher of Northern Qi, and he ranks among the top three in Northern Qi in terms of swordsmanship, but compared with his father and Lu Baiming's predecessors, he is still half a step behind, and he is even more different from Situ Gong. ”

When Situ Yueming heard this, he shook his head: "It's a good thing that young people are vigorous, but martial artists don't rely on their mouths to judge high and low, and only those who stand are qualified to speak." Although you are outstanding in Chang'an City, you cannot underestimate the younger generation of the whole world. ”

Speaking of this, Situ Yueming looked at Xu Buling and said with a smile: "If Xu Shizi didn't have the Lock Dragon Gu of the villain, the chances of winning would be much greater. ”

Xu Buling shook his head: "Martial artists, only standing and lying down, if it is wasted, it is wasted, and if it is old, it is old, and when it comes to the glory of the past, it is just to comfort yourself." At that time, I still have to rely on the two brothers. ”

"Hehe......"

Situ Yue Ming saw that Xu Buling could see it like this, his eyes showed a little appreciation, and he raised his hand: "Aren't the literati all saying, 'Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and ......bones', the son of the world does not need to be arrogant, and when the poison is solved, who in the world dares to compete in front of the prince, should be arrogant." ”

Situ Huyu and Tang Jiu knew that there was never a precedent for the Lock Dragon Gu to be solved, but at this time, they naturally would not fall into the trap for the son of a vassal king, so they also comforted a few words.

Xu Buling just came over to say hello, didn't say much, bowed slightly, and took Qiao'e into the palace.

As Xu Buling's figure disappeared into the city gate, Liu Yunlin took a step forward and asked curiously:

"Brother Situ, the prince has been poisoned since he came to Chang'an, and the martial arts are just hearsay, according to you, if Xu Shizi does all his best regardless of the dragon lock, how powerful can he be?"

When Situ Yueming heard this, he frowned and pondered: "According to rumors, the prince was able to sweep the horse bandits in the Western Regions before he was sixteen years old, and the year before last, he was ambushed by the Wei River, and he killed more than 100 thieves alone, until the mountains and rivers were exhausted and the poisonous hair did not escape, if there is no lock dragon Gu, it should be no problem to fight with me." ”

Situ Huyu frowned slightly: "There are still hundreds of palace guards in Weihe, it is impossible for one person to kill them, as for going out of the customs alone, it is just a horse bandit who can't eat enough to eat and a thief army scout leader who kills him, and it is not impossible to replace me." ”

Tang Jiu rubbed the hilt of the sword on his waist and smiled lightly: "The people in the market like to exaggerate, people who practice martial arts don't really fight once, and they can't tell which is higher and which is lower." ”

This naturally means that I feel that the rivers and lakes are blowing Xu Buling too much.

Situ Yueming thought for a moment and shook his head lightly: "There is no void under the fame, and he must have been very powerful before." If you are hit by the Lock Dragon Gu, if you don't care about all your strength, you will either die or be disabled, and the martial artist dares to risk his life, no one can say what the result will be......"

Several people talked casually, Liu Yunlin pondered for a while, nodded, and did not interject again......
