Chapter Fifty-Eight: Set Sail Again

Jade Emperor Mountain, Wu Wangfu.

A black canopy looms over the West Lake, and fishing fires flicker in the wind and snow.

The study room of the palace built near the lake is brightly lit, and the doors and windows are closed and the stove is burning, mixed with a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

Song Siming, the king of Wu, was rarely angry, and sat on the couch and reprimanded in a deep voice:

“…… This king asked you to arrange someone to change the jade pendant, who let Xue Chengzhi run to do it with Xu Buling? Won't say kind words? Can you fight if you lower your posture and have a good chat? It's okay to fight, but I haven't fought yet......"

Han Xianchu and Wang Zou Yin stood up and exchanged glances with each other, both with a bit of disbelief on their faces.

They didn't and didn't expect that the only Wu Kui in Jiangnan would be beaten down by Xu Buling. Let Xue Chengzhi go over, planning to let Xue Chengzhi rely on martial arts to coerce and lure him to exchange the jade pendant back. They didn't expect Xue Chengzhi to really dare to beat Xu Buling, but fortunately he didn't fight, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to end it.

There is also Hongshan Shan Zhai was secretly recruited by the palace a few months ago, used to accumulate available soldiers, I knew that Xu Buling went to Hongshan Shan Zhai to make trouble, and Xue Chengzhi should be allowed to appear in advance to stop it, even if it can't be defeated, it can also protect Hongshan Shan Zhai.

But now it's obviously meaningless to say this, now that the water village has been burned, and the jade pendant has not been replaced, this matter is obviously messed up.

Waiting for King Wu to finish getting angry, Han Xianchu stepped forward to explain:

"I didn't know in advance that Xu Buling would go to Hongshan Water Village, and Xue Chengzhi didn't know the background of Hongshan Mountain Village, otherwise he would definitely stop it. As for fighting with Xu Buling...... Xue Chengzhi has a high status and a big temper, and Xu Buling's temper is also rushing, and it is not surprising that he will fight without saying a word......"

King Wu didn't bother to listen to this explanation, frowned and said coldly:

"Even Xue Chengzhi missed, how can I get the jade back now?"

Wang Zou Yin stroked his beard and pondered: "Do you want Li Hansheng to send someone or personally try it?" ”

Han Xianchu gently raised his hand to stop: "Xue Chengzhi has already startled the snake, if he sends another Wu Kui over, everyone knows that it is me who is planning behind the scenes, and it is not advisable." ”

Wang Zou Yin thought about it, and the only one who could persuade Grandmaster Wukui to go forward and grab the jade pendant one after another was the vassal king of the territory. He pondered:

"Why don't you wait for the birthday banquet to get Xu Buling drunk ......"

"Xu Buling is in Chang'an, in order to resist the cold poison, he drinks the spirits as water, and he can't get drunk......"

"Does the beauty plan work?"

"Beauty Trick ......"

Han Xianchu hesitated and looked at King Wu.

King Wu rubbed his forehead, looked at the two strategists who had made up their minds, and said coldly:

"Xu Buling, the prince of the dignified domain, what woman has never seen it, and he is still a beauty, do you think he is Song Yu's idiot?"

Wang Zou Yin and Han Xianchu laughed, they also had no choice but to say that there were no these, the strategists were not immortals, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and they couldn't use force and the background of the palace, how could they snatch jade from the hands of the martial arts god Su Wang Shizi?

Several people discussed for a moment and had no clue, and King Wu had to raise his hand;

"That's it, don't act rashly again, wait for Xu Buling to come to Hangzhou, and then talk to him in person."

Han Xianchu and Wang Zou Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated......

-------

Two days later, the light snow stopped for several days.

Jinling City is still singing and dancing, without Yang Yingxiong, the head snake, it seems that even the air is a little cleaner, and the people in the streets and alleys are talking about all kinds of rumors about the prince of Su.

In just a few days after coming to Jinling City, the three major events that occurred in a row, such as killing Yang Yingxiong, destroying Hongshan Lake, and fighting Xue Chengzhi, have pushed Xu Buling's prestige to the peak.

However, although killing bullies and exterminating water bandits can be inspiring, the impact of the flood cannot be completely erased by killing a few people.

After a snowfall, Jiangnan entered an unprecedented cold winter, and there were more and more homeless people who were hungry and cold, and the government had forbade the homeless people to enter the city for the sake of public security, and only built a porridge shed outside the city to receive help.

At dusk, Xu Buling arrived at the foot of Jinling City on a wind-chasing horse, and saw the homeless people rubbing shoulders in front of the porridge shed outside the city, and he could only sigh softly. After all, this is not Suzhou, and the people can only rely on King Wu and the government if they suffer disasters, and all he, the prince of Su, can do is to kill a few scourges for the people.

After entering the city, Xu Buling asked the nightingale to report Xiao Qi's safety, and he could set off for Hangzhou, and he returned to the Lu family's mansion on the south bank of Wende Bridge.

As soon as he walked near the alley, Xu Buling saw Aunt Lu standing at the mouth of the alley in a daze, the water-green skirt outlined the figure quite gracefully, with a shawl on her shoulders, her long hair coiled up and inserted into the hairpin, dignified and gentle, very noble. But I may have stayed up late last night, and at this time, Xue Nen's cheeks were a little tired, her eyes were red, and her hands were folded around her waist and clasped together.

Xu Buling tidied up his shirt and made sure that there was nothing unusual, then he showed a bright smile and led the horse to him:

"Aunt Lu?"

Lu Hongluan shook slightly, turned around suddenly, the tiredness on his face dissipated, turned into anxiety and worry, ran to him, raised his hand and touched Xu Buling's body:

"Dead boy, run out to fight and kill, you are a prince of a vassal king, you can single-handedly succeed in any hero, you can't bring more people......"

As he spoke, he was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

Xu Buling was a little overwhelmed, but his heart was still warm, and he raised his hand to stroke the hair next to Lu Hongluan's ears:

"Aunt Lu, don't worry, I'll just go out and take a casual stroll......"

Lu Hongluan didn't dodge either, he raised his hand to grope on Xu Buling's body, still a little anxious in his eyes:

"You're still lying to me? I know it, and it is rumored in the market that 'the prince of Su entered Hongshan Lake single-handedly, and was hit by nine knives and twenty-eight arrows to kill a bloody road, and when he went out, he met Wukui Xue Chengzhi, and he was defeated by thirteen shots in a row'......"

???

Nine knives, twenty-eight arrows and thirteen shots......

Xu Buling's mind was full of question marks, and he silently calculated: "More than 50 openings are not dead, I am really dead...... I can't believe the rumors in the rivers and lakes, I'm really fine......"

After Lu Hongluan found that he didn't get a hole, his heart was a little more stable, and he sniffed it on Xu Buling's chest, and a faint smell of medicine came, so he wanted to untie Xu Buling's robe:

"Where is the injury, it's not serious, let me see ......"

Xu Buling was a little helpless, and helped Lu Hongluan's arm to walk into the alley: "How to undress outside, let's talk about it when we go back." ”

Lu Hongluan was worried about Xu Buling's body, and he didn't shush too much, and quickly returned to Lu's house with Xu Buling.

Hongshan Lake made a lot of noise, and the elders of the Lu family came to condole, but they were all blocked by Lu Hongluan, as if they were treating a dying wounded, so they asked Xu Buling to lie down in the room, and called the doctor to look carefully and ask if there were any internal injuries.

The doctor is a famous doctor in Jinling City, and he can see that Xu Buling has been injured a little, but he has been almost healed, and he will recover in a few days. When Mrs. Lu learned this, she was a little relieved.

The incense was burning in the room, and the maids were all thrown out. Xu Buling was forced to lean on the bed, decorated with a futon behind his back, and a blanket on his legs, comforting with a smile:

"Aunt Lu, I said I'm fine......"

"They said they were fine, they were all injured......"

Mrs. Lu sat sideways in front of her, didn't let Xu Buling get up, raised her hand to untie the white robe, saw the faint bruise on Xu Buling's chest and the bandage under her ribs, her heart was tight, and she didn't dare to shake Xu Buling, she carefully touched it a few times, and said softly:

"It's only been a long time, you forgot that you were dying when you were in Chang'an City, King Su handed you over to me, if you knew that something happened to you......"

Xu Buling was helpless, and when he saw that there was no one in the room, he had the courage to take Lu Hongluan into his arms, and patted her on the back: "Okay, don't make trouble, I know how to ...... proportions."

"You ......"

Mrs. Lu was caught off guard and fell directly on Xu Buling's chest, and immediately stopped nagging. After looking left and right, and seeing that there were no outsiders, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. raised his hand and wanted to hit Xu Buling a few times, but he was afraid of hurting Xu Buling's injury, so he didn't struggle in the end, and honestly lay in Xu Buling's arms, complaining:

"Ling'er, you let go of me, you have a wound on your body......"

In order to distract Lu Hongluan, he raised his hand and began to untie the tie of his skirt, and said anxiously:

"Aunt Lu, it's been suffocating me for the past few days......"

!!!

Lu Hongluan is everyone's best girl, where have you heard this kind of meat talk, or it came out of her baby pimple. Looking down at Xu Buling's neat untie of his clothes, it took a while to react, and he frowned lightly and raised his hand to hit Xu Buling on the shoulder:

"Boom! How do you do that? And...... It's like a ruffian on the street......"

was interrupted like this, Lu Hongluan forgot about the words that he had held back for several days, his face gradually became hot, he pinched the corner of the peony's belly pocket to cover it, and looked at the door and window with a bit of a thief's heart, and his voice was so small that he could hardly hear it.

Seeing this, Xu Buling naturally became bold, with a little smile:

"You're my aunt, what are you afraid of......?"

"Whew—"

Lu Hongluan was already embarrassed, and when she heard this, she almost died of anger, twisted her shoulders and wanted to get up: "Okay, okay, I'm your aunt, you scum, don't touch me...... I'm dead......"

Xu Buling naturally refused to let go, and wanted to continue to tease his aunt, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the room, and the voice of the nightingale:

"Childe, the ship has been ready for a long time, Miss Xiao asked you to leave tomorrow or now?"

Mrs. Lu was startled when she heard the sound, and closed her shirt with her hands and feet.

Xu Buling was a little unsatisfied, and looked at Aunt Lu who was tidying up her dress.

After Lu Hongluan saw that the nightingale didn't run in, he breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to stay with Xu Buling anymore, and said softly: "It will take some time to get to Hangzhou, and it will take a few days to recuperate on the ship if you leave early, I ...... I'm going to say goodbye to my mother......" After saying that, he ran out with his head bored......
