Chapter Eighty-Six: A New Friend
At dusk, Zhu Manzhi put on a small skirt, and the rouge was also the box sent by Xu Buling, dressed beautifully, and happily ran to the vicinity of Sun's shop, waiting for someone to appear.
Although he knew that Xu Buling would not come over today, Zhu Manzhi still waited seriously, firstly, because he had nothing to do after work, and secondly, he had to look forward to some surprises, in case he came......
Because of the sunny weather in the spring, there were a few more guests in the wine shop, talking noisily about Xu Danqing's return, and asking Shopkeeper Sun if there was any news about Xu Danqing's residence.
Shopkeeper Sun is naturally chattering, and his 'guess' appearance is appetizing.
Zhu Manzhi listened for a moment, touched his cheek, and thought of Ning Qingye again, and couldn't help but sigh secretly...... If Xiao Ning was there, he would have been the first to be drawn in, but unfortunately, he left a few days early......
After staying in the bluestone alley for a while, Xu Buling naturally did not come.
Zhu Manzhi walked around the street twice with nothing to do, and unconsciously walked to the vicinity of the uninhabited courtyard. I was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly I smelled a faint smell of medicine.
"Huh?"
Zhu Manzhi's small eyebrows furrowed, he had come a lot before, and he smelled exactly the same as the medicine that Ning Qing stayed up all night, and thought that Ning Qing had turned back halfway through the night and came back, his eyes lit up violently, and he ran quickly to the front of the courtyard.
The door of the yard was open, and in the clean small yard, a small stove was placed under the eaves.
A figure in a black robe with his back to the courtyard gate, boiling medicine, leaning against a sword on the wall, and a cloak and hat hung on the wall.
Looking from behind, the figure of the Taoist priest is a little familiar, his hips are wider than his shoulders because of squatting, and his long hair is coiled on his head with a wooden hairpin, which looks like a Taoist aunt.
As soon as Zhu Manzhi glanced at it, he knew that he had recognized the wrong person, and he wanted to walk away quickly, but the female Taoist priest in the courtyard turned her head around, revealing a slightly pale cheek - her eyebrows were slender and her nose was high, her eyes were as aura as autumn water, and she was not stained with any wind and dust, and the ordinary Taoist robe on her body also added a bit of the taste of fairy wind and bones, hmm...... Very good-looking Daogu.
Zhu Manzhi didn't have the ability to forget, but this female Taoist priest had seen it once outside the city and was impressed, so she naturally recognized it, thinking of Xu Buling running out to chase the clothed assassin last night, and immediately understood where the people in the courtyard came from.
Under the eaves of the courtyard, Ning Yuhe naturally recognized the wolf guard who had glanced at her outside the city. I just went to Zhang Xiang for trouble, and when she met the wolf guard in disguise here, she was naturally alert, and thought that she had come in disguise to confirm the truth, so she immediately stood up and touched the sword beside her. The female wolf guard at the door saw her turn back, so she hurriedly lowered her head and wanted to leave, Ning Yuhe's eyes narrowed slightly, the long sword in her hand was already out of the sheath, only to hear a soft sound of 'sa-', the scabbard flew out of the courtyard and was directly inserted into the wall of the alley.
"Ah......h
Zhu Manzhi suddenly saw a scabbard in front of him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his head and begged for mercy:
"I'm Xu Gongzi's...... The doorman...... Xu Buling ......"
When Ning Yuhe heard this, he was a little less cautious, walked slowly to the courtyard gate with his long sword in hand, and glanced down:
"Did Gongzi Xu send the girl over?"
Zhu Manzhi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, your own people, don't do it, otherwise Xu Gongzi will be angry......"
Ning Yuhe nodded slightly, pulled out the scabbard and withdrew the long sword, and made a Dao salute:
"If you have offended the girl, get up and come into the house and talk."
Zhu Manzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and followed Ning Yuhe into the courtyard, his eyes were a little strange, and he muttered secretly: Why did you pick up a fox and come back, she is still a Taoist aunt, and she looks older than Xu Gongzi...... What's the taste......
Squeak –
After the courtyard door was closed, Ning Yuhe smiled a little, and looked down at the little girl who was a little twisted:
"Xu Gongzi called you over, but is there something?"
Zhu Manzhi pursed his lips and smiled, his mind turned sharply: "Hmm...... It's nothing, just let me come over and have a look...... By the way, my name is Zhu Manzhi, and we seem to have met once outside the city......"
Ning Yuhe bowed his head lightly: "Poor Dao Ning Yuhe." ”
"Ning Yuhe ......"
Zhu Manzhi was stunned for a moment, feeling that this name was so familiar, and after thinking about it slightly, his eyes opened round, full of surprise:
"Is the Taoist a real person in Guqiu? Xiao Ning...... No, Ning Qingye's master? ”
Ning Yuhe was slightly surprised when he heard the name of his apprentice: "The girl also knows Qingye?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhu Manzhi chick nodded as if pecking rice, and hurriedly raised his hand to make a salute: "It turned out to be Senior Ning, I have been looking up for a long time, I am Xiao Ning's friend, the relationship is good, she used to live in this courtyard...... What a coincidence......"
Zhu Manzhi said this, and suddenly felt strange in his heart - Xu Gongzi saved Xiao Ning, and now he has saved Daning, could it be that he wants to ......
Thinking of this, Zhu Manzhi shuddered and hurriedly dispelled the messy thoughts.
Xu Gongzi is decent, how can he do such a ridiculous thing as a master and apprentice serving a husband......
Ke Ning Yuhe is a famous beauty, and Xiao Ning is also ......
Thinking wildly, Zhu Manzhi's eyes gradually became weird......
Ning Yuhe is a monk, she didn't expect this little girl to have such evil ideas, so she turned around and walked under the eaves to continue boiling medicine:
"Sit down, girl."
Zhu Manzhi nodded, walked up to him with some restraint, took out a small bench and sat down, and secretly glanced at Ning Yuhe a few times, although Ning Yuhe's speech and demeanor were very gentle, she felt a little repulsive and thousands of miles away, I can't tell where this feeling comes from, maybe it's because of her personality.
It's like Xiao Ning, who looks cold on the surface, but is actually very sullen......
When he first arrived, Ning Yuhe didn't know Zhu Manzhi, and he couldn't snub the guests, so he found a topic:
"Where is the girl? Why did you come to Chang'an to be a wolf guard? ”
When Zhu Manzhi heard this, he sighed a little lost: "I grew up in the Fenhe area, my father and mother should be from the rivers and lakes, and I left me missing the year before last, and I was caught just to find them...... Alas~ It's a pity that there is no ...... at all."
Ning Yuhe nodded: "What's your father's name?" ”
"Alas~ I have asked many people, but they don't know my parents, they should have used a pseudonym when they ran the rivers and lakes. Well...... My father's name is Zhu Liu, and my mother's name is Osmanthus, hehe...... Anyway, for as long as I can remember, my dad has called me mother like that, and he hasn't said anything else to me...... By the way, my dad also used a sword, and he taught me when I was a child, but unfortunately I only learned one trick......"
"Wishing six...... Osmanthus ......"
Ning Yuhe frowned and thought about it, she really hadn't heard of this person, but she had learned swords since she was a child, and she was born into a family of swordsmen, so she knew a lot about swordsmanship, so she said:
"Can the girl practice one or two?"
Zhu Manzhi hesitated slightly: "My father said that move is very powerful, and the martial artist wants to hide the killing move, and he can't easily ignore people...... If you want to see it, you can do it......"
