Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Bright Moon Shines on the Pine

The sound of boots and horses' hooves on the bluestone pavement could be heard far away in the long silent night, and occasionally a man with a lantern passed by the street and glanced up the alley.

After leaving from the Yingchun Building, the time was about two or three o'clock in the evening, Xu Buling led the horse without saying a word, walking aimlessly between the neatly planned streets and alleys of Chang'an City, with a small puppet hanging next to the horse, followed by a scholarly lady.

At this time, the streets looked like a giant web connected together, and he was like a remnant butterfly stuck to the spider web, struggling but afraid of driving the spider web, attracting the giant beast entrenched in the center of the spider web.

The clues are in front of you, but it is equivalent to cutting off all the ways out, which is not pleasant. Even if the news is told to King Su who is far away in Xiliang, it is not of much use. I'm afraid that King Su, like him, also guessed that it was the hand of the court, but the court didn't do it and there was no evidence, so he didn't even have an excuse to go crazy, so he could only wait.

Thinking of this, Xu Buling looked at the majestic imperial city in the distance and sighed softly.

Stomp –

The sound of small footsteps followed the horses, not far or near.

Song Yufu put her hands on her waist, carefully followed, and came out of Yingchun Tower, Xu Buling didn't say a word and had a cold face, and her legs were sore, and she didn't see Xu Buling speak.

Song Yufu couldn't help it, plucked up the courage to trot to him, and asked softly:

"Xu Shizi, are you angry with me?"

Xu Buling came back to his senses and looked at it sideways. Song Yufu shrunk her neck, half a step away, and covered her buttocks with her hands.

"I'm not angry, I did a good job today."

"Huh?"

Song Yufu was stunned, she didn't kill her, she was a little unaccustomed to it.

"But...... I didn't do what you said, eh......"

"As long as it is proved that I am in Yingchun Tower tonight, it is the same to reward or redeem myself."

Xu Buling hooked the corners of his mouth. Today, he asked Song Yufu to press others for one or two pieces of silver no matter how much, he was deliberately bullying those princes and nobles to provoke anger, thus causing a sensation and spreading the matter, and hundreds of people were witnesses to prove that he was there, and no one would definitely suspect that he had secretly gone to the palace. The only difference between rewarding and redeeming oneself is that it will be worn by Mrs. Lu for half an hour, but this kind of trivial matter is insignificant.

Song Yufu saw that Xu Buling was really not angry, her chest was straightened and straightened, and she followed with a little smile:

"Xu Shizi is really a sensible person. The Qinglou woman is pitiful, and all the reward money goes into the pocket of the owner of the Qinglou, and it can't fall into the hands of those women at all, which is equivalent to a waste. Anyway, it's all money, and if you redeem the prince directly, you can still have a girl in your hand......"

"You're pretty good at settling accounts."

"Hee-hee...... Anyway, it's all going to be spent, and it has to be spent somewhat. I originally wanted you to take them back to the house to serve you as a maid, and you took off their lowly status and released them free, which is good, but it's a bit of a waste......"

"I just spent money to cover people's eyes, and I didn't really fall in love with a few Qinglou women, so why waste it."

"Oh...... Doesn't Shizi like pretty girls? ”

Xu Buling's expression was flat: "I'm not a trash can, how can I bring anyone to my house." The opportunity is given to them, whether they want to return to their hometowns or marry the man they like, it's up to them. Lao Xiao can arrange these things, I can't care about it so much. ”

Song Yufu nodded lightly: "This is also considered 'it is better to give a fish than to give it a fish', right?" ”

"Huh...... Almost. ”

Xu Buling thought for a while, and turned his head to look at Song Yufu:

"Are you tired after walking for so long?"

"Ah~......"

Song Yufu was really tired, hooked the hair next to her ears, glanced at the horse next to her, and was a little embarrassed, so she shook her head:

"I'm not tired, or let's go back...... Yikesβ€”"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Buling raised his hand and picked her up horizontally, and threw her on the horse, like a horse bandit robbing a girl.

Song Yufu was lying on the saddle, embroidered shoes dangling in the air, a little scared: "Xu Shizi, you let me down...... I called someone ......."

"You cut your throat, and no one cares about you."

Xu Buling answered casually, then turned on the horse, lightly clamped the horse's belly and walked towards Zhuji Street.

Song Yufu was a little annoyed, but she didn't know equestrianism, so it was difficult to even get up, so she could only angrily smash Xu Buling's calf.

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows and patted her buttocks: "Try to hit me again?" ”

Song Yufu's face was flushed, but her body froze, she honestly lay on the horse's back, and muttered in a low voice:

"Color Embryo ......"

Smack-

"Ahh......h

Xu Buling was satisfied, and while riding a horse, he looked down at Song Yufu's figure a few times, and for some reason remembered the queen mother who was in the nest.

Well...... It's a little younger, and it's not like ......

Song Yufu didn't know Xu Buling's thoughts, so she lay on the back of the horse and held it for a while, and suddenly remembered what was going on:

"By the way, Xu Shizi, you said that I didn't reveal your identity, so return the hairpin to me...... A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse......"

Xu Buling smiled lightly, leaned over and took out a hairpin box from Ma Ce's skin, opened the box, and the white hosta lay quietly in it, with eight small characters engraved on it.

"The bright moon shines on the pine, and the hibiscus is like jade...... It's a good name, but people can't do it......"

"Who can't do it, Xu Shizi insults people's innocence for no reason, it's a person who can't ......"

Song Yufu saw the hairpin in her heart, and she didn't care about anything else, so she raised her upper body hard, wanting to raise her hand to take it. On the bumpy back of the horse, this movement will obviously lose its balance, and one of the unstable almost carried down, letting out a 'ah-' exclamation.

Xu Buling shook his head secretly, raised his hand to scoop up the light and soft Song girl, sat sideways in front of him, and inserted the hairpin between the three thousand green silks.

Song Yufu was shocked, and after noticing Xu Buling's movements, she stiffened again, tilted her head and wanted to dodge, and was afraid that Xu Buling would regret not giving her the hairpin, so she could only purse her mouth and not move.

After Xu Buling inserted the hairpin, he looked at it with satisfaction: "You and I have settled the grievances, don't make trouble for me in the future." ”

"Hmmm......"

Song Yufu nodded obediently, thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "I...... The last time I kissed the son, I was forced to do it in a hurry, don't remember it......"

Xu Buling nodded: "It is appropriate for a man to suffer a loss, just know his mistakes." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Xu Shizi ......"

"Huh?"

"Why don't you have a face and no skin......"

β€œοΌŸβ€

Song Yufu hurriedly covered her mouth, smiled, lowered her head and stopped talking.

The horses soon arrived outside Zhuji Alley, and for fear of being discovered by her father, Song Yufu got off the horse on the street and trotted back to the alley with her head down.

Xu Buling shook his head a little amusedly, and only after seeing Song Yufu enter the courtyard gate did he drive the horse away......
