Chapter 58: Unannounced Entry

At noon.

Xu Buling drove his horse back to Kuishou Street. The long street was full of soldiers and armor, and many officials surrounded the door of the Li family at the end of the street to search the house and get people.

Dayue established the country with martial arts and attached great importance to military construction. The fact that the false collection of military pay was more serious than the fraud in the imperial examination. The family confiscation and exile were considered to be lighter punishment.

This matter has nothing to do with Li Baoyi's premeditated assassination. Anyway, Li Baoyi is dead, so Xu Buling has no intention of paying attention to the end of the Li family. The most important thing is the Dragon Locking Gu on his body.

After more than a year in Chang'an, Lao Xiao was secretly investigating from many sources, and all kinds of messy news were available, but there was almost no news that could really solve the magnate with bones. Even if the evidence points out the murderer, it would not be able to change the current dilemma.

The news brought by Ning Qingye is one of many news in the world, and the so-called "combination of Yin and Yang" detoxification method is a bit difficult to convince people.

Maybe it’s because I’m so ill that I’m just seeking medical treatment. I have no way out, any news is hard to come by. Even if I have failed many times before, the news I get is incredible, I still have to do what I should investigate and confirm.

The horse ran across the street and came outside Jinghuayuan behind the Xiao family.

Xu Buling turned over and dismounted, and after tidying up his clothes, he walked to the villa by the lake.

Ping Baiyue happened before Jiazi, and the emperor had changed three of them, which had long become an old thing. The Su Palace has been uninhabited for many years, and it is impossible to store any books and archives. If you want to check the matters of that year without attracting attention, you still have to go to Aunt Lu.

-----

In the warm sun, several maids in Qingya Villa gathered in the water pavilion and spoke secret words in the boudoir. Yuenu listened with an embroidery needle. The yard was very quiet.

Mrs. Lu ran around last night to seek justice for Xu Buling, and returned to the other yard in the early morning. She only rested after confirming that the Li family received the punishment they deserved. The yard was very quiet.

After Xu Buling learned about this situation from Yue Nu, although he was a little anxious, he didn't want to wake up Mrs. Lu, who had just fallen asleep, so he sat down in the yard outside the boudoir and drank by himself with a wine pot.

After waiting, I waited from noon to the setting sun.

There was a rustling sound from the small boudoir, and a slightly tired and gentle voice sounded:

"Monthnu..."

Xu Buling put down the wine gourd, got up and walked outside the wing room and opened the door. He was about to call out with a bright smile, but he didn't expect that he would see Mrs. Lu standing by the tea sea, holding a water cup to drink water.

The room was very warm, and Mrs. Lu must be thirsty. She got up and stepped on her palace boots and walked out of the pearl curtain without a dress.

The bellyband embroidered with peonies collapsed tightly on her body, and the slender tether was a little overwhelmed. The thin white pants wrapped around her waist and legs. The water cloud brocade produced in the Jiangnan water town was as thin as a cicada's wings, revealing a bit of flesh color and the outline of the camel toe, which was plump and soft, as moist as warm jade.

Because I was holding a cup in my hands and drinking water was urgent, a thread of water droplets slid from the corner of my lips to my chin, and dripped on the peony flowers, soaking the white cloth almost transparently.

Seeing that the door was pushed open, Mrs. Lu moved her eyes to the door.

"hiss--"

Xu Buling Jinghong thought it was not good at a glance, and he reacted very quickly and took it to the door.

The door opened and closed almost at the same time, with only a slight "creak" sound.

In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Lu's door was closed, and she was a little confused when she put down the water cup:

"Month slave?"

Xu Buling stood outside the door a little panicked. Just as he was thinking about how to explain, he saw Yuenu standing under the eaves, holding the toiletries in his hand, stunned.

Xu Bulingru received a general amnesty and ran to Yuenu with a slight slightest move, with his eyes signaled, and then raised his hand to push Yuenu towards the door.

Yuenu was definitely not stupid in his mind to be the personal maid of a noble family’s ladies. Naturally, he understood what Xu Buling had just seen, and looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Buling made a "shush" gesture, then waved his hand and signaled Yue Nu to respond quickly.

Although Yuenu is the same age as Mrs. Lu, her status is very different here, so it is not easy to disobey the little prince's intentions. She glanced at Xu Buling with a strange look and walked to the door:

"Madam, what's wrong?"

"You just pushed the door open?"

"Well, I forgot to get the towel and go back to pick it up."

"Oh...go quickly."

"...By the way, Madam, the little prince came here at noon and was waiting outside."

"Ah? Let Ling'er come in quickly, why don't you call me? He was angry yesterday but still not well-educated..."

"The little prince doesn't want to disturb his wife's rest, so he didn't let the maid inform him..."

"Yes...hum~ I'm quite a bit conscientious..."

Outside the room, Xu Buling breathed a long sigh of relief and looked grateful to Yuenu.

Yue Nu bowed and smiled, turned around and looked like she was taking a towel. After thinking about it, she suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Little Prince, is the lady good-looking?"

“…”

Xu Buling made a positive face: "Don't talk nonsense, go get the towel."

"hehe……"

Yuenu smiled secretly and ran away with her toiletries in her arms.

-----

After a while, Mrs. Lu finished washing up, changed into a blue long skirt, and then left the room after tidying up. She smiled and looked at the young master in white standing in the yard with his hands behind his back to look at the sun:

"Ling'er, why don't you call me when you come?"

Xu Buling turned around, showed a bright smile, and walked under the eaves:

"Aunt Lu was traveling all night yesterday, so he should have a good rest. I'm fine anyway, so it's okay to wait."

Mrs. Lu smiled gently, and naturally stretched out her arms to let Xu Buling support her and walked side by side:

"Li Baoyi was brave enough to attack you and would not let him get rid of the Li family in Kuishou Street. My aunt is also useless. You are fine. Don't go out to go out to make trouble in the evening. Good little prince is not good, and he will run to Hutai Street as a gangster. Don't hesitate to lose the price?"

Xu Buling held his soft arms and shook his head: "I'm idle, just go and have a look when I hear the sound of the wind."

Mrs. Lu nodded lightly, thought for a moment, and remembered what happened a few days ago:

"By the way, the Queen Mother came to you a few days ago, and I don't know what disease I had. She insisted on letting you go to the palace to see her, and she also ran to the throne to ask the priest to send you to her place. Humph~ If I hadn't thought that she was an elder, I would have to drive her back to Huainan..."

Xu Buling naturally knew why the Empress Dowager was looking for him, and the lotus hidden carp was still on her body. However, she obviously didn't dare to say this, so she could only smile:

"The Empress Dowager has lived in the deep palace for a long time without anyone to accompany her, so she is a little bored. I went to the palace a few times, and my words and behaviors may be more steady than Xiao Ting. The Empress Dowager probably also wants to chat with me to relieve her boredom."

Mrs. Lu thought so too, and nodded: "Hmph~ She thinks beautifully... You are not allowed to go to the palace in the future. The empress dowager has been willful since childhood. Now she is so old and has not changed her habits. If she really wants to take care of you, she will definitely mess around and ask for help everywhere. It is better to stay away from it."

Xu Buling naturally agreed: "Don't worry, Aunt Lu, I must be far away. The Empress Dowager is not as caring as Aunt Lu. Ling'er is not an ungrateful wolf, so she will stay in front of Aunt Lu for the rest of her life."

"Yeah~"

Mrs. Lu was only satisfied.

Xu Buling accompanied Mrs. Lu for a walk by the lake, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked inadvertently:

"By the way, I happened to hear the caravans in Nanyue talking about the war on the street these days. It was my grandfather's broken Baiyue Kingdom, but I have been stupid since I was a child and I have basically not read a few books, and I really don't know what happened back then..."

Mrs. Lu angrily said: "I don't even know the great achievements of your Xu family. How can I become King Su in the future?... Well, but that's true. It's understandable that you don't know what happened more than 60 years ago...

...While Emperor Xiaozong was in power at that time, although it was a scene of the three kingdoms competing, Baiyue was located in southern Xinjiang, with mountains and steep mountains and scarce supplies, and there was not even much land for producing grain, and the national strength was very weak. General Xu personally led his troops south, and basically arrived in Liuzhou without fighting a big battle, and there was nothing to say...

...It is very powerful to hedge against the Daqi Jia Tielusha. At that time, Dayue's national strength was weak and Ma Yuan heavy armor. The 30,000 Daqi Iron Rakshas was equipped with armor and horses, and it was invincible to all over the world. General Xu nipped it bit by bit with his teeth. He never gave up his army in his life. He was over fifty years old and only remembered to marry a wife and stay with his daughter-in-law..."

Xu Buling Anjing listened for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aunt Lu has any books recorded in the war situation that year?"

Mrs. Lu also felt that it was difficult to reproduce the tragic battlefield of that year by saying it alone. As Prince Su, he could lead troops north at any time. It was a good thing to understand these things, so he nodded immediately:

"There are detailed records in the Xiao family, and I will take you there later."
