In the early morning of the next day, outside the east gate of Chengde County.

Zhongli Jiujiu stood at the fork of the official road, took out a few packets of medicinal powder from the bag on the horse's side, carefully weighed them with a small scale, and divided them into two.

Zhu Manzhi was wrapped in a goose-yellow jacket, his little face was full of seriousness, and he stood with the nightingale, staring intently, and muttered in a low voice:

"Big Zhong, you can't be partial, she will follow you out, and the building near the water will definitely find a way to open a small stove, if you ask you for it, you can't give her ......"

The nightingale is wrapped around her small arms, her big braid hangs down from the back of her head, her body is straight, and her expression is flat:

"We're going to fight, not a winter outing, so how can we have time to do this."

"Anyway, it's fair, the people of the rivers and lakes have to settle accounts with their sisters, and we are not sisters yet......"

Muttering.

On the other side of the official road, Xu Buling led the horse and walked with a handwritten letter from his arms and handed it to Ning Yuhe:

"Master, after I go back, let Xiao Qi send this letter to my father as soon as possible."

Ning Yuhe took the envelope and put it in his arms, Qingquan's eyes were obviously a little reluctant, and after looking back at the three girls, he got a little closer, clinging to Xu Buling's sleeve:

"Don't be stubborn in case of trouble, pay attention to the early night...... Also, Zhongli Jiujiu's mother-in-law, you must be careful, don't be deceived by her, she dares to go up to the house to reveal the tiles when she gives a ladder......"

Xu Buling's smile was friendly, and seeing that they didn't pay attention to Manzhi, the hand under the sleeve was secretly placed behind Ning Yuhe, and pinched: "Got it." ”

"Ling'er, you are serious......"

Ning Yuhe's soft cheeks showed a little flush, but he didn't dodge, let the apprentice be light, and glanced down: "There are ...... There's also the matter of Shougong Sha...... You're not here, I even have to take a bath secretly, and after a long time, Manzhi will definitely suspect it......"

Xu Buling thought for a while: "Master can hide it carefully, if you can't hide it, go to Xiang'er, the paint is all matched by her, she can help Master paint it first." ”

When Ning Yuhe heard this, his face was slightly shocked, and he frowned and said, "Xiang'er...... She got it? ”

"Xiang'er is smart, she sleeps with me every day, how can she not see it...... Master, don't worry, Xiang'er won't laugh at you, when we go back, the three of us will ...... together."

"Whew—"

Ning Yuhe hurriedly shook his head, took a few steps away, turned over on his horse, turned around and said, "Manzhi, let's go." ”

Xu Buling shrugged his shoulders: "It's just to sit down and talk together, not together, Master, why are you nervous?" ”

Ning Yuhe now understands Xu Buling's true appearance, and at that time, it is not what Xu Buling said or is. Ning Yuhe's expression was a little strange, he hesitated, saw Man Zhi running over, and whispered:

"Xiang'er agrees, what can you say as a teacher......

After the words fell, he hurriedly rode his horse, picked up the Zhu Manzhi who ran over, and ran to the distance of the official road.

Zhu Manzhi hugged the small package, was sandwiched under Ning Yuhe's arm, and babbled a little annoyed: "Daning, what are you doing, I haven't said goodbye to Xu Gongzi yet......"

Xu Buling looked funny, and Yao Yao raised his hand and waved:

"Full branches, slow down on the road, take care of the master."

Zhu Manzhi turned over to Ning Yuhe's back and sat down with great difficulty, hugged Ning Yuhe's waist, turned his head and said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi has a good journey......

The horse's hooves rushed, and the sound faded away.

After Xu Buling saw the two of them disappear at the end of the official road, he turned around and stepped on the wind-chasing horse and stepped on the official road to Liaoxi County:

"Miss Jiujiu, let's go."

Zhongli Jiujiu sat on the big red horse on her side, her old enemy Ning Yuhe ran away, her demeanor and demeanor returned to the cold appearance of the fairy sister, nodded gently, and drove the horse in front......

-------

The waves crash on the shore, and the sky and the sea are boundless.

Youzhou is a remote place in Dayue, and Liaoxi County is the edge of Youzhou, with vast and sparsely populated and barren countryside, except for the magnificent beauty of mountains and seas, there is nothing remarkable.

At noon, Ning Qing rode the stolen horses at night and walked on the wilderness of the coast, looking for clues on the snow.

Born in Shu and grew up in Changqingguan, Ning Qingye has never been to the beach, and when he saw the sky and sea at the end of his vision, he didn't have any interest in his eyes.

Fan Yangjun glanced at it and found out that after Li Hansheng's whereabouts, Ning Qingye chased after him. Li Hansheng's horse was too fast, and he could only see the back, and he had no intention of stopping. She grabbed a few horses along the way and chased hard, but after following to Liaoxi County, she still lost the trace of Li Hansheng, and could only look around aimlessly.

She knew that she couldn't kill Li Hansheng, and she didn't know what to do after catching up with Li Hansheng, so she tried her best to chase after her, just to see what the man who didn't even care about his wife and daughter in a desperate situation would say to her.

Although he didn't catch up, at this moment, Ning Qingye seemed to understand.

Speechless.

Without even the courage to stop and be questioned face to face, what can he expect him to say?

The sea breeze was cold, and before I knew it, it was snowing again in the wilderness.

Ning Qingye led the horse to a wood, climbed the ancient tree, leaned on the branch, and crossed his arms to scan the endless coastal wilderness in front of him.

The skirt on her body was not thick, and the bone-chilling wind mixed with wind and snow made her limbs a little uncomfortable. Looking at the snowy day in front of me, for some reason, I remembered the very warm fox fur again, and the person who gave her the fox fur.

It was as if it was the first time she had received a gift from someone other than Master.

Ning Qingye was less than ten years old, and he went to Changqing Mountain and became an apprentice of a female Taoist priest. Dependent on each other, staying in the small Taoist temple of the dismal incense, may not see a few outsiders all year round, the concept of feelings, are only in their own imagination, relatively dull, not understanding the world, but the grievances are clear.

If she is not gracious to her, she will naturally have to pay it back. wanted to do something for Xu Buling to repay the grace of saving his life, but found that Xu Buling was strong in martial arts and high in power, and seemed to lack nothing, only coveting her beauty!

Ning Qingye grew up so big, he never thought about the relationship between men and women, although he was not a monk, but he was brought up by his master, and he already regarded himself as a Taoist......

But Xu Buling was too much, she kindly inquired about the whereabouts of the dragon Gu and kissed her.

I remember running away at that time, and it took me a month and a half to slow down alone.

I hid a lot of words in my heart, I didn't know what to do, and I really wanted to talk to the master, but the master was gone, so I could only stay alone in the small Taoist temple, holding the fox fur, thinking about how to solve this thorny problem.

Afterward...... bar

What happened later, Ning Qingye couldn't remember clearly, went to Junshan Cao's house, and reunited with Xu Buling again, no waves, not far or close, and it didn't seem to have encountered any trouble as expected.

Now that I've been with Manzhi and them for a long time, I like the life of a lot of people, a lot of people live in the same courtyard, fighting, talking and laughing, which is completely different from the days in the Evergreen Temple, and the master seems to like it too, so she stayed.

What will happen in the future, Ning Qingye has never thought about it, maybe he will really not return to Changqing Temple, but follow Master and Xu Buling to Suzhou, rebuild a small Taoist temple, and then live like this......

Sitting in the snowy forest with the sea breeze, Ning Qingye's slender arms hugged his knees, and the confusion and helplessness of the present and the future were intertwined, making Qing Qing's cold eyes look a little dull.

Just as he was in his trance, Ning Qingye suddenly heard the sound of the paper being blown by the wind.

Rustle –

There were no living creatures in the snowy forest, and the sound was obviously too abrupt.

Ning Qingye came back to his senses, held the hilt of the sword, looked at the source of the sound, but saw in the distance of the woods below, I don't know when a middle-aged scholar was standing, holding a black oil-paper umbrella in his left hand and a paintbrush in his right hand, sketching on rice paper, which hung on the trunk of a tree, and was blown up by the sea breeze.

"Xu Danqing?"

Ning Qingye was a little stunned, last time in Xiaojiazhuang, I saw Xu Danqing from a distance, and I didn't understand why this world-famous painting saint came here inexplicably and found her.

Ning Qingye was about to jump down and ask, but Xu Danqing, who was painting, hurriedly raised his paintbrush and said with a smile:

"Don't move, girl, it's just so good-looking, and I'll finish painting it soon......"

I'm done......

Ning Qingye froze on the branches, and his eyes showed a bit of strangeness. She naturally understands what Xu Danqing is doing now, maybe from tomorrow, she will be famous all over the world!

Master is the head of Xuanhe Bakui, Ning Qingye has seen a lot since she was a child, and she doesn't think there is anything powerful, far inferior to the Sword Saint, she has been famous since she was a child, and she has never taken this to heart, it is not uncommon to become a new Bakui, and it is not uncommon to be a new Bakui.

But she never thought that she could be found by Xu Danqing when she was in a daze in this corner far away from the Central Plains.

Ning Qingye hesitated slightly, I don't know if I remembered the envious little eyes of Man Zhi and Fu Bao, and finally listened to the advice, did not move, continued to sit on the tree with his knees hugged, and asked:

"Senior Xu, how did you find me?"

Xu Danqing painted, and sometimes looked up:

"I happened to pass by, so I bumped into it, and it was considered lucky."

Ning Qingye was straight-hearted, but not stupid, he looked at the desolate region of the imperial frontier and asked:

"Why did Senior Xu come here?"

Xu Danqing smiled: "Come and take a look at the scenery, Xu Buling seems to be coming over soon, the girl is waiting for him here?" ”

Ning Qingye was slightly stunned when he heard this.

When Xu Buling arrived in Fanyang County, Ning Qingye had already left, so in Ning Qingye's cognition, Xu Buling should take a boat back to Suzhou to get married.

"How could Xu Buling come to Youzhou? Is it for the Tang family? ”

"The matter of the Tang family has been resolved, Tang Jiao was picked by your master, and he came here to find something."

Ning Qingye didn't know why: "What are you looking for?" ”

Xu Danqing shook his head: "Anyway, it's a very important object, I don't know." ”

"Oh......"

Ning Qingye was a little puzzled, but he didn't say much, he honestly sat on the tree with his knees crossed, and after waiting for a while, he asked again:

"Mr. Xu, how many beauties am I?"

When Xu Danqing heard this, he smiled a little brightly and shook his head:

"All the girls in the painting, except for Cui Xiaowan, have asked similar words, and you are the most direct girl."

Ning Qingye frowned lightly: "Really?" My master also asked? ”

"Of course, your master was fifteen or sixteen back then, and he played a set of sword dances, and asked, 'How do I compare with the seven sisters in front of me?' , Xiao Xiang'er said 'I'm the first in the world, understand?' Zhongli Chuchu also said, 'Either you don't paint, or you are the best in the world', hehe......"

"What did the gentleman say?"

"How else can you answer, it's unique in the world, if you say anything else, you will definitely be killed, so you can only say it secretly after leaving......"

Ning Qingye tilted his head slightly, pondered for a while, understood the meaning, did not ask any more questions, and said:

"Why didn't Empress Cui ask this?"

Xu Danqing's brush paused, thought slightly, shook his head and sighed softly:

"Everyone has a love for beauty, but there are always exceptions. That girl was so withdrawn, she probably never paid attention to how she looked, she shouldn't have painted at the time, and she made a mistake after drinking and made a mistake and hurt the girl......"

Ning Qingye heard the master talk about 'Xu Danqing strayed into the peach blossom forest after drinking', it was the Cui family who secretly released the news that attracted Xu Danqing, and later entered the palace to become the queen, and died of depression at a young age. It's all the calculations of the emperor and the generals, but in fact, it has little to do with Queen Cui and Xu Danqing, and it can't change the result.

Ning Qingye was silent a little, but he didn't know how to evaluate it.

After a while, Xu Danqing put away the imperial golden pen, walked under the tree with the scroll, and handed it to Ning Qingye.

Ning Qingye jumped down from the branch, took the scroll, and looked at it carefully - the snow on the scroll was flying in the sky, the lonely branch was facing the sea, between the vast heaven and the earth, the woman was sitting on the branch, with a long sword in her hand, looking into the distance, she could only see a side face, although the brushwork was concise and simple, but Shen Yun was portrayed in the bones, even if it looked like herself, there was a deep sense of familiarity.

However, Ning Qingye has rarely been in contact with these literati's elegant toys since he was a child, and in addition to looking comfortable, he can't see any doorways, so he rolled up the picture and solemnly put it away.

Xu Danqing clapped his palms, raised his hand and called the horse parked in the distance, and took a package from the side of the horse.

Xu Danqing handed the small package to Ning Qingye: "Since you have met, you can bring me something by the way and give it to Xu Buling." ”

Ning Qingye took the small package, and it was still a little heavy to start, she was slightly puzzled:

"Liaoxi County is so big, where can I find him?"

"I'll give you a place, and you'll be ...... there."

"Oh......"
