Chapter 57: Chu Chu is on his way......
"Bun ......"
"Wonton ......"
The sky was twilight in the east, the goose feathers and heavy snow stopped, and the early peddlers and pawns poured into the streets that already had a bit of a New Year's flavor.
The inn room was very quiet, the red candle and the residual wine were still on the table, and the boots on the floor had become two pairs again.
Inside the curtain, Zhongli Jiujiu woke up very early, with a little blush on his baby-like and tender cheeks, and fox-like eyes with mixed tastes, staring at the man who was close at hand. The strange sourness on his body is still there, frowning from time to time, and letting out a soft snort, I don't know if it is dissatisfied or uncomfortable.
Zhongli Jiujiu has been a character who dares to love and hate since he was a child, and he has a free and easy personality, but now that he has pierced this last layer of window paper, he is naturally hardened again.
After all, it has been given for nothing, what else is she afraid of, if a woman can't lower a man in the boudoir, she deserves to be bullied.
Facing Xu Buling, who was sleeping quietly, Zhongli Jiujiu didn't mean to be a gentle little daughter-in-law, so he raised his hand and patted Xu Buling's chest a few times:
"Hey, hey, dead boy, how long are you going to sleep? It's endless, and you're still ......."
"Uh......"
Xu Buling woke up in shock, saw that the sky was already bright, took a breath lightly, and felt that his body was not very tired.
It is natural for each other to fall in love, and it is natural to be in the depths, Zhong Li Jiujiu was still very cooperative last night, and after letting go of the back, his original temperament was revealed, with a look of 'well-read, my sister teaches you', and took the initiative to respond.
It's jerky, but it's a special treat, and the taste isn't enough for outsiders.
Xu Buling turned his head and smiled dotingly: "Lady, wake up so early?" β
Zhongli Jiujiu has always dared to go up to the house to reveal the tiles when he was given a ladder, but now that his identity is different, he is naturally no longer afraid of Xu Buling, he sat up, hugged his chest with his left hand, and pushed Xu Buling with his right hand:
"Comfortable, right? Satisfied, right? You will get up for me, and you will let me serve you in your clothes......"
Xu Buling chuckled and sat up: "Lady, don't make trouble." β
"I'm going to make trouble, it's you who have to marry me, after I go back, I have to mess up your back house, Ning Yuhe, who is afraid of whom......"
The fierce words are just to hide the shame in their hearts.
Xu Buling got dressed, attached himself to her forehead and kissed her: "Okay, go down to eat." β
Zhongli Jiujiu kicked Xu Buling with his legs, retracted and wrapped himself tightly: "You go down first, don't forget to give the wine gourd to Qingye, you almost scared me to death last night, you haven't been heartless in the back...... Bah- I found out you're a shameless ......."
Xu Buling frowned lightly and condescendedly: "You try to be fierce again?" β
"Heyβ"
Zhongli Jiujiu's exquisite face showed a little unconvinced, and he sat up straight: "What's wrong with me?" You come and clean me up, I can't kill you! It's all eaten clean, sister, what am I afraid of? β
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Buling really has nothing to say.
----
In the hall of the inn, the shopkeeper stood behind the counter and made an abacus.
Ning Qingye was dressed in a snow-white dress, sitting quietly at the window wine table, with a sword in his hand, and next to him was the breakfast he had just bought outside, bought four servings, and did not move his chopsticks.
After a moment's wait, footsteps came from the stairs.
Ning Qingye turned around, Xu Buling walked down from the upstairs with the nightingale, dressed in a white robe, with a cold and extraordinary face, like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world, holding a wine gourd in his hand.
Ning Qingye glanced at the wine gourd, and quickly looked away, looked out the window, and said nothing.
"Miss Ning got up so early and prepared breakfast, so I have a heart."
Xu Buling walked to the table, flicked the hem of his robe and sat down, and placed the wine gourd in front of Ning Qingye.
Ning Qingye's thoughts had always been written on his face, but at this time, he obviously stiffened slightly, and turned his head to look at the wine gourd:
"What do you do? Early in the morning, I don't drink......"
Xu Buling was silent for a moment, he didn't plan to send the night wine gourd, at this time, it was obviously insincere to deal with the errand......
Thinking of this, Xu Buling raised his hand and took off the saber at his waist and handed it to Ning Qingye:
"I'd just like to take two sips...... By the way, I don't play well with the sword, it's a bit of a waste to hold this sword, you are my senior sister, I've been in the door for so long, and I haven't sent anything, I heard Manzhi say that you like that 'Zhanlu' very much, but that sword has been given to Manzhi, this sword is for you. β
οΌοΌ
Ning Qingye was stunned for a moment, the sword is the most important weapon of the country, and one of the treasures that the swordsman asks for, she is naturally greedy. You can send an ordinary wine gourd, how can you give her the sword of Zhaogu, it's too precious......
"The swordsman's sword doesn't leave his body, how can he give it away, you take it back, I don't want it."
Ning Qingye shook his head and pushed the snow-white sword away.
Xu Buling put the sword on the table: "If Miss Ning feels embarrassed, just give me her own sword, everyone is just right." β
When Ning Qingye heard this, he quickly picked up the famous sword 'Hurt Spring' and put it in his arms: "No, this is my mother's sword, I can't give it to a man......"
"This light gall is also given to me by my mother, isn't it all the same, if you don't want it, I will go back and give it to the master, and change her side of the sad autumn, the master will be happy to come."
ββ¦β¦β
Ning Qingye hesitated a little when he heard this. Sadness and sadness are sister swords on the rivers and lakes, originally the blades of a pair of heroes in the previous dynasty, and her master finally collected them in order to match. If Xu Buling took Beiqiu, wouldn't it be a couple sword with her......
Ning Qingye hesitated, and said lightly: "That's it, whatever you ......" Then put the sword on the table and picked up Xu Buling's saber: "Let's use it instead, and when you can't bear it, you can change it back...... Don't use my sword badly. β
"Hehe......"
Xu Buling nodded with a smile, put away the Qingfeng long sword, didn't say anything more about it, and picked up the chopsticks:
"Eat, eat, eat."
After a while, Zhongli Jiujiu also walked downstairs, his expression had almost returned to his usual appearance, rubbing his small waist and feeling a little lazy, sitting opposite Xu Buling, far away, and he didn't dare to flirt.
Ning Qingye's mind was on the sword, and naturally he didn't see anything unusual.
Before the four of them finished breakfast, the hall of the inn sounded the sound of 'chirping-', and the little sparrow, who was almost exhausted, flew in from the door and landed directly on the table between the four people.
Zhongli Jiujiu and the little sparrow have been dependent on each other for many years, looking distressed, they hurriedly picked up the little sparrow, put it in their arms to warm it, took a small note from the sparrow and handed it to Xu Buling, and took out the pine nuts to feed.
Xu Buling put down his chopsticks, unfolded the note and looked at it a few times, and frowned slightly.
Ning Qingye saw Xu Buling's serious face and asked, "Master, what are you talking about?" β
Xu Buling put down the note, his eyebrows furrowed: "I ran in the underground palace too hastily, I didn't have time to deal with the bones of that eunuch, Chang'an City is afraid that I will soon be able to guess the reason, and I will definitely be targeted." β
Ning Qingye was a little puzzled, looked left and right, and whispered: "The jade seal has dropped the bag, and no one else knows." Now that the jade seal should be obtained by Li Hansheng, I know that you only have people who grab things in Leting County, and you will not leak the news, the court should chase Li Hansheng, how can it be eyeing you? β
Xu Buling shook his head: "This kind of thing, I'd rather kill the wrong than let it go, even if I don't go to Liaoxi, as long as I appear in Youzhou, I can't leave the relationship." If I don't find the jade seal, the court won't let me go. β
"What then?"
"Xiao Qi's boat has turned around and returned home, we have to leave before the imperial court blocks the road, and board the boat in the Taiyuan area to meet them, otherwise it will be difficult to get out."
Ning Qingye nodded, without hesitation, and picked up the sword: "Then leave now?" β
Xu Buling shook his head, looked at the note in his hand, and hesitated:
"The letter also said that Chu Chu was not on the ship, and the day after we left Huainan, Chu Chu also came over."
"Huh?"
Zhongli Jiujiu, who had just become a young woman, was eating with her head buried in food, and when she heard this, her face suddenly turned white, showing a little nervousness:
"How could it be...... Didn't I let her take the boat honestly? Why did she come here too? β
Nightingale put down her chopsticks and thought for a while: "We have all finished beating the Tang family and Bodhi Island and are ready to return, she hasn't appeared yet, so nothing will happen, right?" β
Ning Qingye blinked her eyes and shook her head: "If she rides a broken camel and takes the land route, she can't tell if she will reach Fanyang County now......
The four of them fell silent at the same time, speechless.
Xu Buling rubbed his forehead and looked at his daughter-in-law: "How can you buy a camel for Chu Chu?" How can anyone ride a camel to walk the rivers and lakes? β
Zhong Li Jiujiu's eyes were innocent, and under nervous and worried, he didn't dare to fight back, and said softly: "She was born in the Western Regions, so she has to be a little pretended...... Isn't horseback riding the same as an ordinary woman......"
ββ¦β¦β
The three had nothing to say
When the imperial court reacts, it will inevitably launch an unimaginable high-intensity hunt, and it will only be a matter of these two days. Zhongli Chuchu and Xu Buling have been in contact with Huainan, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about Hongshan Lake's rescue of Chu Chu, if Chu Chu is left alone, he doesn't have to think about it to know that he will be caught by the imperial court and used to coerce Xu Buling to show up.
Xu Buling patted his forehead and stood up: "Hurry up and go to Fanyang County to inquire about the news, find Chu Chu back, and then everyone will go together." β
The three women did not dare to delay, and immediately got up and left the room, and drove their horses towards Fanyang County......
