In the next few days, Xu Buling stayed in the palace, recuperating from his injuries, and waiting for the news of the Baimazhuang bloody case to pass.

According to the news that came, the big case in Baimazhuang was over, and there was a reward for the punishment, when today's son praised Xiao Ting a few words, and the wolf guard Zhu Manzhi, who made meritorious contributions in Baimazhuang, was awarded and promoted to the tail of the wolf guard crane in Tianziying by the Investigation Division.

After working for half a month, the initial goal was achieved, and the next step was to let Zhu Manzhi enter the case library under the pretext of investigating the case, and find the clues of the lock dragon Gu from the lair of the heavily guarded investigation department.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the weather is clear, and the snow in the thousands of streets and squares of Chang'an City has not yet melted, and it is slightly dazzling from the window.

Xu Buling walked to the window and stretched, then saw Lao Xiao walking through the verandah with a cane, and said with a smile:

"Little prince, the sun is good today, it's time to come out and breathe."

Xu Buling chuckled, took a long sword from the study and hung it on his waist, and walked out with Lao Xiao: "Zhong Yiquan has been lying for three days, and this lock dragon Gu will not be able to solve it again, and there will be no way to do anything in the future." ”

Lao Xiao followed with a cane: "A man can't say that he can't ......"

Xu Buling's face darkened.

"Hehe...... "Hey, hey" Lao Xiaokou said a word, and then got down to business: "The case inventory contains all kinds of files from the founding of the country for two hundred years. In addition to Zhang Xiang in the Investigation Division, there are two leaders in secret, one walks the world to deter the rivers and lakes, the other hides in the secret to monitor the princes, and Zhang Xiang has been sitting in the case library for many years, as long as Zhang Xiang is there, no one can rummage through the files under his nose. ”

"I have to find an opportunity to lure Zhang Xiang out."

"Zhang Xiang has been famous for nearly 20 years, and there are only a few people in Chang'an City who can beat him, so don't take it lightly."

Xu Buling nodded, turned over his horse, and went to Dayefang......

----

The warm winter sun sprinkled on the green wall and snow, and there were more guests in Sun's shop than in the past, and the shopkeeper Sun only said that the silver was recovered, and the bluestone alley was restored as before, and no one mentioned it again.

Stomp –

The horseshoe stepped on the bluestone pavement, and Xu Buling came to the door of the wine shop:

"A jug of wine."

"Okay...... Yo~ Childe is here, I haven't seen him for a few days, and my complexion has improved a lot, old man, I've been worried for a few days......"

Shopkeeper Sun took the vermilion wine gourd and skillfully filled the wine with a wine spoon.

Xu Buling stood quietly outside the guardrail of the shop holding the reins.

The clear liquor fell into the gourd, making a rattling sound, and before a pot of wine was filled, a crisp sound suddenly came from the alley:

"Childe!"

The delicate throat is light, and the voice is like the warm sun in March, hiding the ice and snow under the spring breeze for ten miles.

Several drinkers in the wine shop stopped talking when they heard the sound, glanced sideways, and were slightly stunned, the nature of men made them sit up a little straighter.

Xu Buling turned his head, but saw Ning Qingye standing not far from the shop, looking at him with a smile.

Ning Qingye changed out of the Jianghu costume she wore during the previous two meetings, wearing a snow-white dress, her black hair was draped over her back like ink, her temperament was pure and elegant, and her face was not powdered, just like a white lotus in the lotus pond.

Because of the slender figure, the Qingfeng long sword did not hang on the waist like a man, but leaned on his back, which added chivalry to the original slenderness, but such a woman, it is difficult to imagine her appearance of fighting and killing, maybe it is more appropriate to describe it as immortal.

Shopkeeper Sun glanced up, shook his head and quipped: "I thought that this girl and the son were equal, but now it seems that the girl's family is indeed better-looking." ”

Xu Buling took the wine gourd, led the horse to him, and chuckled:

"Miss Ning, why haven't you left yet?"

Ning Qingye's figure had just reached the tip of Xu Buling's eyebrows, which was relatively tall among women, and he walked slowly side by side, until he reached a secluded place in the alley, and then he responded:

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been kind to me, and the little woman can't repay ......"

"Will you make a promise?"

“……”

Ning Qingye embroidered his shoes, stepped on the bluestone floor tiles with a soft 'click', pursed his lips, and was thinking about how to respond to this faceless disciple.

"Hehe......" Xu Buling raised his hand: "It's just a joke, just kidding, don't take it seriously, girl." ”

Ning Qingye took a slight breath and continued to walk forward, but the distance between them was deliberately half a step, which could be regarded as following Xu Buling.

"If the son has any difficulties, you can tell me, the court can't help, but I can still help with the affairs of the rivers and lakes. If not, I owe you a personal favor, and send a message to Evergreen View in the future, and I will come to you. ”

"Jianghu people pay attention to happiness and revenge, if the girl really wants to clear up with me......"

"That's not what I meant."

Ning Qingye stopped and looked at Xu Buling: "I don't like to owe favors." ”

Xu Buling nodded, led the horse and walked slowly, and was silent for a moment before getting to the point:

"If the girl wants to help, I've been in a little trouble lately."

"Just say it."

"Huh...... The Lock Dragon Gu in my body was banned more than ten years ago, and there is no such thing in the rivers and lakes. I secretly investigated for a year without the slightest clue, and it wasn't until a few days ago that I heard from the Jianghu Fangshi that ten years ago, the Iron Eagle Deer Hunting appeared in the Dragon Cup, and there may be a record in the Investigation Division......"

When Ning Qingye heard this, he tilted his head slightly puzzled:

"You are the prince of King Su, and your status is much higher than that of the Investigation Division, just ask directly?"

Xu Buling shook his head: "I've been here for a year, and the imperial court has asked the Investigation Department to follow up the clues of the Weihe ambush, but nothing has been found. If the Investigation Division is really hiding the news of the Lock Dragon Gu......"

Ning Qingye was not stupid, and immediately understood when he heard this: "Could it be that the imperial court did it to you?" ”

"The most ruthless emperor's family, fratricidal is common, not to mention my son of a king with a different surname. If the Investigation Department really hid the news of the Lock Dragon Gu and deliberately didn't say it, it must be the imperial court doing something behind it...... I hope it's not true, if I find the news of the lock dragon cup in the Investigation Division, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Chang'an City alive. ”

Ning Qingye frowned slightly: "I know what you did in White Horse Village a few days ago, the martial arts are very good, and you can just walk away knowing that there is danger." ”

"I'm not from the rivers and lakes, I can't run the monk and can't run the temple, and I can't understand the lock dragon Gu, and I'm still dead when I go back to Xiliang."

"How can I help you?"

"Don't you have a grudge against Zhang Xiang, I'll find a chance to lure him out and give you a chance to avenge yourself."

Ning Qingye paused, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes: "Really? ”

Xu Buling nodded seriously: "Mutual benefit, if you agree, the matter will be settled." ”

"It's a deal."

Ning Qingye didn't hesitate at all: "Get ready, just notify me in the small courtyard last time." ”

Xu Buling chuckled lightly and raised his hand to make a high-five gesture.

Ning Qingye's eyebrows showed a little strangeness, raised his hand, but in the end he didn't high-five, and fluttered away with a flick of his hair:

"By the way, your fox fur is still with me, I'll wash it and return it to you after drying."

"I've got you."

Xu Buling withdrew his hand and watched Ning Qingye disappear around the corner of the alley......
