Chapter 63 The Family(1/2)
"Hey! Hey! I'm really dead, is there anyone..."
In the prison behind the yamen, Zhongli Chuchu looked around from the small window with her toes, her green eyes were crystal clear against the fire, like two shiny emeralds. However, in these beautiful eyes, there was only panic and worry at this moment.
From Song Ying's words, Zhongli Chuchu already understood that she was bait. She locked her up, just trying to lure Xu Buling over. Although she didn't understand why the Dayue court attacked Prince Su, Zhongli Chuchu knew that this was definitely not a trivial matter. The plot between emperors and generals was far more ruthless than the world. Or if it was okay, it would be a killing. If she came to Youzhou because she took the initiative and did not help, she would harm Xu Buling...
The more Zhongli Chuchu thought about it, the more scared she became, and her face turned pale. Since they met each other, she found that she was causing trouble for Xu Buling. Xu Buling, who was killed in Suzhou, was chased by thousands of troops, and Xu Buling, who was killed in Hongshan Lake, was injured by bandits alone, but she was still the case in Youzhou.
Although these were not her original intention, Xu Buling always took risks for her, saying that she regarded Xu Buling as a friend and confidant, but this is not what a friend should be like. She is just a troublemaker who is arrogant and uneasy!
Zhongli Chuchu's eyes were full of self-blame, fearing that Xu Buling was fighting outside in blood or had been caught by the court, but she was locked in this iron cell and had no other way but to wait helplessly.
Fortunately, the helpless waiting did not last long.
Soon, Zhang Boyan's deputy trotted over, held the key in his hand and opened the chain, nodded outside the door and apologized:
"Girl, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Zhang. Don't talk nonsense after you go out. We don't want to catch you, but you are powerless. Your white camels are all Changbaishan ginseng that Lord Zhang paid for out of his own pocket, but they did not treat it at all..."
There is a reason why the deputy was so nervous. If he wanted to curry favor with the emperor and the prince, the easiest thing was to please the wives and concubines that the person in power favored. If a pillow continues, the matter will basically be halfway; on the contrary, the same is true. If the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, the prime minister's wife may not be sure. If the girl goes out, she will cry and complain to Prince Su. In order to comfort the beauty, Prince Su might catch two people and chop them up.
Zhongli Chuchu couldn't tell the difference between the direct difference between Youzhou government and the wolf guards. It was all the same group for her. Seeing that an official came over, she hurriedly lay down at the small window and asked nervously:
"What's wrong with Xu Buling? If you dare to do anything random..."
"Oh! Auntie, how can we do Prince Su? Lord Zhang almost got removed from his head. You should go out quickly, otherwise the little prince will get angry and kill people. We did not treat you badly. We must tell the truth..."
Seeing that the officials were so humble, Zhongli Chuchu felt a little relieved. After the prison door opened, he quickly turned around and ran out with his small package in his arms.
The adjutant smiled and bowed to the front to lead the way: "Miss, please wait, otherwise the little prince would think we would treat you badly..."
Zhongli Chuchu was not easy to answer, so she quickly walked through the deep aisle and came outside the high wall of the prison. The sudden bright light made people unable to see things clearly.
Zhongli Chuchu covered her eyes with her hands and adapted to the light slightly. Then she saw Xu Buling standing outside the heavily guarded prison, wearing white clothes like snow, with a rebellious expression on her face, "I'm not easy to mess with" almost written on her face.
"Young Master Xu!"
Seeing Xu Buling, Zhongli Chuchu's fearful emotions erupted. He stopped and his eyes turned red. All kinds of emotions lingered in his heart, looking like a problematic girl who was released from the Young Scholar Office. Seeing his parents waiting outside, he missed and was afraid of being blamed, so he didn't dare to go there.
Outside the prison, Xu Buling turned around when he heard the sound. Seeing that Zhongli Chuchu was safe and sound, he felt a little relieved and raised his hand to hook:
"What are you doing while standing stupidly? Come here."
"oh……"
Zhongli Chuchu had a little aggrieved in her eyes, and ran to her side and whispered: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I...I've implicated you again..."
Xu Buling glanced at the wolf guards and prison guards around him, and without saying much, he whistled and called him to chase the wind horse, turned over and stretched out his hand:
“Come up.”
Zhongli Chuchu was a little stunned, knowing that she was letting her ride a horse, but there were so many people here...
Zhongli Chuchu finally did not confirm his relationship with Xu Buling. He hesitated for a moment and looked back at the prison behind him: "Mr. Xu, my camel..."
Xu Buling had to get rid of the wolf guards' tracking. How could he take a slow camel? He possessed himself and grabbed Zhongli Chuchu's belt, lifted Zhongli Chuchu directly into his arms and sat down, gently pinching his horse's belly toward the street:
"There is no longer a camel riding in the future. I will find you a good horse when I go back to Suzhou."
"ah-"
Zhongli Chuchu's body lightened, and then sat in Xu Buling's arms. He was shocked and embarrassed and instinctively wanted to dodge, but when he saw Xu Buling's arrogant gaze, he did not dare to resist. He just tensed his body: "Young Master Xu, you...camel has been following me for many years..."
Xu Buling held the reins in his hand, wrapped his arms around Zhongli Chuchu, and his face was still unruly, but he said softly:
"Be obedient, don't waste time. You have to leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave. Come here to pick it up in the future, and the government will serve as a gift from our ancestors."
Zhongli Chuchu was naturally confused, but when she saw Xu Buling's eyes, she couldn't say anything more. She lowered her head and sat in Xu Buling's arms, and said softly, "Oh".
Step on the pedal-
The horse crossed the road, and the officials nodded and bowed to him. The officers and soldiers stationed in the prison stood on both sides. Although no one dared to look at him, their eyes were obviously full of envy. Who wouldn't want a man to wear a beautiful woman in his arms? But holding the only Baku in his arms and running all over the streets, the world could probably do less than one thing. Many people sighed in their hearts, "A real man should be like this."
This is not the first time Zhongli Chuchu has had close contact with Xu Buling. Last time he fled in the desert outside Black City, Xu Buling ran on his shoulders. The wind blew up his skirt and the eggs leaked out.
But at that time there were no outsiders in the wilderness. This time, he sat in Xu Buling's arms in public, with a clear embarrassment on his face. He straightened his body and tried not to lean against Xu Buling.
Xu Buling looked a little guilty when he saw Zhongli Chuchu's face, and shook his head gently. He and Jiujiu became husband and wife, and Jiujiu's apprentice was naturally his apprentice, so he comforted her softly:
"Chuchu, don't blame yourself. This time it was my reason, which made you implicated."
neat?
Zhongli Chuchu was a little confused when she heard such a close name, but she didn't mind. She shook her head and said, "It's because I didn't pay attention to hiding my whereabouts. I was found by the Wolf Guard, otherwise I wouldn't have been treated as bait by the Wolf Guard... How could the court target the young master?"
"Let's talk about it when you're at a safe place."
"oh……"
Seeing this, Zhongli Chuchu didn't ask much, thought for a while, and turned slightly:
"Mr. Xu, thank you."
"It's all a family, what are you thanking?"
Family?
Zhongli Chuchu was stunned for a moment, with a restrained expression - this... This means that he and I are a family? We don't seem to have that... Could it be that the prince of a vassal prince did not need to discuss with the other party when he married a girl? This is too domineering...
Zhongli Chuchu wanted to say something, but after hesitation, he pursed his lips, lowered his head and didn't say anything...
--------
Pedestrians entered the streets outside the Yamen in the east of the city, and the people from surrounding towns gathered around to select New Year's goods. Occasionally, idle men who found the movements in the Yamen looked at them, and were immediately bombarded by the guards outside.
In an alley half a street from the Yamen, two wolf guards who acted as guard posts were knocked unconscious and tied together. Zhongli Jiujiu and Ning Qingye were wearing wolf guards' black clothes, lying together and staring at the movements around.
Zhongli Jiujiu was naturally worried when he saw Xu Buling's arrogant look in his arms, but when he saw Xu Buling's arrogant look in his arms, he felt a little relieved, and just looked up with his cheeks.
Ning Qingye also has a master. He understands how worried the master will be if something happens to him. Although he has some small opinions about Zhongli Jiujiu, he still comforted him:
"Don't worry, Xu Buling is very powerful. He will kill anyone he wants in Chang'an City. The few small officials here can't do anything to him."
Zhongli Jiujiu could hear the comfort in Ning Qingye's words. Although she was not in the way with Ning Yu, she was very close to Ning Qingye. When she was a child, she wanted Qingye to be an apprentice. She smiled:
"Xu Buling is very capable, so I naturally don't worry, just because I'm afraid that he will take too much action and will end up with a bad deal."
Ning Qingye nodded slightly and lay on the roof for a moment. Seeing that there was no killing in the yamen, he also relaxed a little.
The two of them were alone for a moment, and Ning Qingye suddenly remembered what happened last time and turned his head and asked:
"That night in Douhekou Town, did you find any strange places?"
Zhongli Jiujiu was slightly stunned: "Uh...what do you say this?"
Ning Qingye is slow to respond to the world, but he is not stupid. Some problems have been analyzed in the past few days:
"After you told me about the wine gourd that night, Xu Buling came over with the wine gourd early the next morning, but in the end he changed it to a sword."
Zhongli Jiujiu blinked: "Is that so? Maybe it happened that he was going to give it to him..."
Ning Qingye shook his head, with a little suspicion in his eyes: "I can't. I went to Xu Buling's room at first and prepared to chat with him, but he didn't respond when knocking on the door. It was Nightingale who said he was asleep. With Xu Buling's relationship with me, it was impossible for him to be so cold to me. If he was cold to me, he wouldn't give me something to come together the next day. I can only say that he was not in the room at that time and didn't want me to know that he was not in the room..."
It's over...
Zhongli Jiujiu widened her eyes. Unexpectedly, Ning Qingye, a straight girl, could also analyze these curves clearly. She turned her mind and quickly raised her hand to interrupt Ning Qingye's words:
"Don't think about it. I prescribed a few sleeping medicines for Xu Buling. I really fell asleep. It's not that I don't want to see you."
Ning Qingye was a little confused: "Walking in the world, do you prescribe a drug for him?"
Zhongli Jiujiu nodded seriously: "You are not a doctor, what do you know?"
“…”
Ning Qing felt that it was strange that night. She glanced at Zhongli Jiujiu for a few times, but didn't think about it anymore, but just said seriously:
"I told you in advance that you should not use your evil tricks on Xu Buling. He is my junior brother and life-savior. I can find that something is wrong, but I will not worry about each other's affection."
Zhongli Jiujiu was speechless. What do you mean, "My evil tricks?", it was clearly the dead boy's evil tricks to greet her, okay, what do you think is lying on your side while holding her and riding her side... It's so hard to mess with people.
These words are obviously embarrassed to say in front of Ning Qingye. Zhongli Jiujiu just nodded with a smile. Seeing Ning Qingye’s serious appearance, she joked:
"Qingye, do you like Xu Buling?"
?
Ning Qingye was a little confused and shook his head: "It's just a confidant in the world, it's not a matter of relationship between men and women."
"That's good……"
"Um?!"
"Oh, hehe... I was upset, didn't listen carefully, and I just said casually..."
“Yes…”
(Note: There was a bug in yesterday's update. Zhongli Jiujiu had never heard Chuchu talk about Xu Buling and Ning Qingye, otherwise he would have known that the couple of Ning and Ning would not be so calm. Recently, he wrote too many words and was confused. He thought something was wrong. He turned around and looked it over carefully and found that it had been modified. I am really sorry.)
--------
Step on the pedal-
The horse's hooves crossed the long street and quickly turned from the street to the alley. The investigation department had no reason to detain Xu Buling, and the tracking could not be open and honest. It was just that the secret whistle was everywhere to follow each other in shifts to ensure that Xu Buling would not disappear from sight.
Xu Buling had already arranged a retreat before entering the yamen, so that Zhongli Jiujiu and Ning Qingye could respond here, and he would pull out the post to prevent being noticed by the wolf guards.
To be continued...
