Deep streets and alleys, uninhabited courtyards.

"Xiao Ning! I'm coming......"

At dusk, the sound of small footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard, and the door was pushed down, tethered and not pushed.

"Huh~? ……”

After a while, on the low courtyard wall, the little girl dressed in wolf guard black climbed up with great difficulty, jumped off the courtyard wall and fell into the courtyard.

"What about people?"

Zhu Manzhi leaned around and looked around, the courtyard was empty, and there was no trace of the white-clothed fox. A row of unopened broken jade burners were placed under the eaves, the small stove was extinguished, and the pots and pans were neatly stacked in the small kitchen, except for the windows of the main house, which remained the same, and a few broken wooden boards were nailed to the leaky windows.

Zhu Manzhi blinked, suddenly panicked, and searched back and forth, until he found the package and the sword in the house, as well as the white fox fur spread on the bed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Still going to go......"

Zhu Manzhi stood in front of the wooden bed with a knife on his waist, and sighed a little disappointed. However, the banquet of the rivers and lakes has long known that Xiao is leaving, and at this time, except for a little reluctance, there is nothing uncomfortable. It's a big deal, when Xu Gongzi leaves Beijing safely and wanders the rivers and lakes together, just go to Changqingguan to find her......

With this thought, Zhu Manzhi took out a small bench from the house and put it under the eaves, sat alone, supported his chin with his hands, and waited for the fox to come back and say goodbye to her.

was seriously in a daze, and for some reason, I remembered the scene where Xu Buling was sent back yesterday.

That hand......

Zhu Manzhi's face turned red, and it seemed that her body was weird again, and she didn't know what it was like, anyway, it was weird......

When she went back last night, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, she always felt that something was missing, and her mind was full of scenes from the carriage. In the end, I secretly rubbed it myself, but I didn't feel that way, but I was ashamed of myself......

"It's good that Xu Gongzi was unconscious yesterday......"

Zhu Manzhi muttered quietly for a while, putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind and making an appearance that he didn't care.

After waiting for about half an hour, a white-clothed figure hurriedly fell on the wall of the small courtyard.

Zhu Manzhi's eyes lit up, and he sat up straight and was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Ning, who was calm in the past, and today was a little strange. Wearing a weft hat, he hurriedly walked straight into the house, not paying attention to her.

"Xiao Ning?"

Ning Qingye frowned and walked quickly, and suddenly heard a voice and touched the sword on his waist in fright, but it was a pity that he didn't bring the sword when he went out today. She came back to her senses and looked down at Zhu Manzhi sitting on a small bench with her chin propped up.

"Manzhi, why are you here?"

Ning Qingye's face was very strange, and he seemed to be a little flustered.

Zhu Manzhi stood up, tilted his head to see Ning Qingye's face under the hat, Ning Qingye turned his head to look to the side.

"Xiao Ning, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm leaving, if I have a chance in the future, go to Evergreen Temple to find me."

Ning Qingye's heart was in turmoil, he didn't want to stay in this place for a quarter of an hour, so he walked into the house and picked up the package and sword, and prepared to leave.

Zhu Manzhi regarded Ning Qingye as an iron sister, and he was not happy to see her so perfunctory, so he picked up the fox fur and came out, and said anxiously:

"You are in such a hurry, I will send you, you are not good to go out of the city without the wolf guard brand, and the fox Qiu forgot to take the ......"

Ning Qingye paused, looked at the snowy white fox Qiu in Zhu Manzhi's arms, and naturally remembered the sanctimonious color embryo again.

"I don't want it, you can take it."

"Ah......h

Zhu Manzhi was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the white fox fur, although she was indeed very covetous of the beautiful fox fur that Xu Buling had given her, but ......

Zhu Manzhi raised a hand, gestured on his forehead, and then gestured on Ning Qingye's shoulder, pouting helplessly.

Ning Qingye blinked, only to remember that Zhu Manzhi was not tall, and this white fox fur could only be used as a quilt cover when he took it back.

"You help me return the promise of the order."

Zhu Manzhi frowned slightly, lowered his head and sniffed on the fox fur, and said a little strangely: "Xiao Ning, you are your daughter's family to be steady, fox fur, you have been covered with a quilt for two months, and it is full of your fragrance......"

“……”

Ning Qingye pursed his lips, raised his hand to take the white fox fur, and thought about throwing it into the well.

Zhu Manzhi was in a hurry, and hurriedly ran forward to grab Ning Qingye: "What are you doing when you throw it away, it's so expensive, you just wear it, Xu Gongzi kindly gave you ......"

"I ......"

Ning Qingye is not extravagant and wasteful, and he actually likes this white fox fur very much in his heart, and he is usually reluctant to wear it when he goes out. But today's color embryo is ...... for her No, just draw a line with that color embryo, what's the anger with clothes......

Ning Qingye was silent for a moment with the white fox fur, slowly suppressed the anger in his heart, thought about it, and looked at Zhu Manzhi a few times:

"Manzhi, you should pay more attention in the capital in the future, don't be bullied by men...... Some people know people but don't know their hearts. ”

Zhu Manzhi blinked his eyes wide and grinned: "I know, with Xu Gongzi here, no one dares to bully me." ”

Ning Qingye was anxious in his heart, but some words were difficult to say after all, so he could only say:

"No matter who you are, you have to pay attention, people in the rivers and lakes must be cautious, and don't trust people."

"Know...... Know"

Zhu Manzhi nodded with a smile: "You also have to be careful, the rivers and lakes are very dangerous, be smart, don't be stunned and go straight......"

“……”

Ning Qingye had nothing to say, and glanced at the pistachio-like Zhu Manzhi, but he was actually a little reluctant.

Although the rivers and lakes are big, you can have close friends, and you can meet a few in your life.

————

The sun sets in the west, and on the endless plain outside Chang'an City, a straight official road leads to the end of the sky.

Two fast horses ran out of the city gate, a sword and a sword hanging from their waists, dressed in black and white, and the two girls' houses stopped their horses at the Yingjun platform outside the city.

Ning Qingye wore a snow-white fox fur with a hat, first looked at the majestic Chang'an behind him, and then raised his hand and clenched his fist:

"Goodbye in the rivers and lakes, take care of yourself."

Zhu Manzhi sat on the wolf guard warhorse, raised his hand and waved:

"Have a safe journey, I will go to you with Xu Gongzi."

"......, you can just come alone."

Ning Qingye took a breath, he was not good at words, and he didn't say much, so he 'drove' lightly, and sped away along the straight official road.

Zhu Manzhi sat on the horse, looking at the back that was gradually fading away under the afterglow of the setting sun, and grinned.

Since his parents ran away from home, Zhu Manzhi wandered the world alone, looking left and right, entering Beijing alone into the Investigation Division, and then mixed into the Tianzi camp, although in the end nothing was found, but now that I think about it, it is still quite cost-effective, at least I met a lot of friends.

Liu Hou'er, Wang Dazhuang, Ning Qingye, Xu Buling......

Each one is a confidant, which one can be entrusted with his life.

Now, she should be a serious Jianghu person.

After watching a man and a horse disappear into the sky, Zhu Manzhi turned his horse's head and walked towards Chang'an City.

On the way, Zhu Manzhi remembered the last time he and Xu Buling rode a horse, and then remembered last night......

Well...... In the future, he will accompany Xu Gongzi alone......

Zhu Manzhi didn't know why he had such a strange idea, but he was still a little happy in his heart, and he grinned.

Hurry up to the city gate, and was about to take out the wolf guard token to enter the city, when suddenly saw a Taoist girl walking slowly on the side of the road.

Dao Gu was dressed in the common Kun Dao robe, the ink black was spotless, the inner bottom was white, and she also held a long sword in her hand, which was a bit similar to Ning Qingye's 'Wounded Spring', but it was not the same when you looked closely.

Most of the people in the rivers and lakes wear hats and hats when they go out, and Dao Gu also wears a hat and can't see her appearance, but her figure is really scary, her waist is narrow, her hips are wide, her legs are straight and plump, and she has a bit of fairy aura from the world just by looking at her back.

When passing by, Zhu Manzhi instinctively paid attention to it, and it happened that the Dao Gu heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked up when she turned sideways to avoid it.

The breeze blew through the curtains of the hood, and the faces under the curtains were shocked.

“！！”

The horses galloped past, and in the blink of an eye, it was a distance of more than ten zhang.

Zhu Manzhi turned his head to look at Dao Gu who was getting farther and farther away, with a little inexplicable meaning in his big round eyes, until passers-by blocked his vision, he turned his head, was silent for a long time, and muttered in a low voice:

"How can there be a woman who is better looking than Xiao Ning...... No, Xiao Ning is young, and when she is about the same age as that woman, she must be so good-looking...... It's still not right, why ......"

Zhu Manzhi's big eyes were full of annoyance, he touched his cheeks, and began to complain that he was not tall and couldn't even wear the fox fur that Xu Buling couldn't wear......
