It was late at night, and Chen Sining got up and put on her shoes, looked back at Cui Xiaowan and Zhu Manzhi lying in the quilt, and were already asleep.

In order to prevent the two girls from waking up, Chen Sining moved very lightly. She put her dress on her body, pulled it up on the curtain, looked up at the room next door, and looked a little confused.

Running out of Nanyue and traveling thousands of miles to Northern Qi, Chen Sining's original intention was to "sacrifice himself to feed the tiger" according to his father's wishes.

But when such things are just a matter of thinking in private, it is another matter of being by Xu Buling's side.

Difficult to speak of.

Moreover, Xu Bu makes the women around him have a mess of relationships...

Chen Sining showed a bit of weirdness in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and she didn't know how to evaluate it.

The imperial family is chaotic, but most of the time it is a political marriage, so it is forced to do it. Unlike Xu Buling, the former queen, the former queen, the aunt, there are only three widows that should not be touched, and there are two pairs of masters and apprentices, among which they are their own teachers. If it were other men, Chen Sining would 100% think that he was a tyrant who was lewd and ruthless, and he would have to curse him in history books for thousands of years. But the Xu Buling, whom she knew, was also a true gentleman who was self-restrained and regained rituals and was indifferent to the noble and humble.

The contrast is so big that Chen Sining can no longer understand what kind of person Xu Buling is.

In any case, facts are better than words. She also has the blood of the Song family, Song Ji's serious distant niece. If she was married to the Xu family, wouldn't she have been bedridden for three lifetimes...

Chen Sining shivered and had goose bumps. She didn't dare to think about the scene. She stood in the room and hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the curtain and prepared to continue sleeping.

But at this moment, the sound of the door opening came from the room next door.

Scream

He hasn't slept yet?

Chen Si stared at the door and hesitated for a moment. He had all gotten up anyway. Thinking about it, he opened the door and came to the corridor.

The inn was not big, it was too late and the door was closed. There was only a waiter who was watching the shop in the hall, sitting behind the counter and baking a brazier.

Xu Buling stood on his shoulders, and was going down the stairs. When he saw Chen Sining coming out, he spoke:

"Miss Chen, haven't been asleep yet?"

Chen Sining stood by the guardrail, curled her hair in her ears, and nodded slightly:

"When I heard the movement, come out and take a look, um... Mr. Xu didn't sleep either?"

Xu Buling raised his hand and pointed to the little sparrow on his shoulder:

"Yiyi is thirsty, please find some water for it."

The little sparrow squatted on her shoulder and felt drowsy. She retorted a few words when she heard the sound, saying, "Who is thirsty? It's obvious that you can't sleep for a long night, but bullying birds can't speak, right?"

Chen Sining naturally couldn't understand Yiyi's meaning. She said 'Oh' and looked around:

"I...well..."

Xu Buling knew that Chen Sining was here to find him, so he did not make things difficult for the girl, so he continued to walk downstairs:

"Anyway, I haven't slept. I'd rather have a drink. I haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't have time to say goodbye to Miss Chen last time."

"Oh, OK."

Chen Sining didn't have to make excuses now, so she followed him down the stairs and came to the lobby of the inn.

Xu Buling sat down at the wine table, asked the waiter to get a pot of wine, then put some clean water in a small bowl, and held the little sparrow and came to the water bowl.

The little sparrow was not thirsty at all, but couldn't stand Xu Buling's diligence, so she reluctantly pecked her two mouths.

Chen Sining liked the little sparrow very much. After a few glances, she said, "I'll feed you."

Xu Buling handed the little sparrow to Chen Sining, then picked up the wine pot, poured two bowls of wine, and asked:

"How is Lingzun's body?"

Chen Sining lowered her head and combed the little sparrow's hair, nodded and said:

"There is a prescription left by Sister Zhongli. Now I have to take medicine and recuperate. I have to thank Mr. Xu for taking the risk of finding the medicine alone. If it weren't for this, I'm still kept in the dark."

"Just go with the flow."

Xu Buling picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, thinking about it:

"Miss Chen chased her from Nanyue all the way. Is there anything important? Just if Ah Qing is greedy, just wait on the boat. I will be back at the beginning of the New Year, so there is no need to come to Northern Qi."

Chen Sining naturally had an important matter, but she didn't dare to speak about marriage now.

Chen Sining also picked up the wine bowl and touched Xu Buling gently:

"Well... I've been in Nanyue since I was a child and have never left. I just wanted to come up with a long experience. By the way... I really have something to do, I want to discuss it with the young master."

Xu Buling nodded: "We can also calculate the relationship between birth and death, but it doesn't matter."

Chen Sining's thoughts turned secretly, and after thinking a little, he spoke:

"The young master helped me a few times, saved my father, and helped me avenge my blood. I have great kindness to me. Even if I go through fire and water for the young master, I will not frown. On the other hand, I have also helped the young master. If I am in danger, the young master will also help me, just like when I was in Yulongling."

Xu Buling nodded without denying it.

Chen Sining sat closer and said seriously: "But these are all private friendships. If you and I are just people in the martial arts world and righteousness are the first, we will naturally not do ungrateful acts. But the country's righteousness is greater than private minority. The young master carries all the people on his shoulders, and sometimes he has to act like giving up small righteousness and seeking great justice..."

Chen Sining said a few words, feeling a little bit of a twist, so she turned to the story she heard on the way:

"When I came here, an old man said that there was a Tuoba Wangting on the Northern Qi side, which was a vassal of the Northern Qi Dynasty and occupied the most plump grassland in the east. Northern Qi needed a large number of war horses, so he moved troops to Tuoba Wangting. Tuoba Ling, the princess of Tuoba Wangting, went to the capital of Northern Qi to seek peace and married a son of a prince. The son of the prince agreed at that time that he would not fight against Tuoba Wangting, but the situation changed later. Northern Qi wanted to restore the country and could not have a high-quality horse farm. Under the righteousness of the country, the son of the prince still ate his words and destroyed Tuoba Ling's family with his own hands..."

Xu Buling heard this and understood what Chen Sining meant that Chen Sining was afraid that after he unified the world, if necessary, he would completely eradicate the unstable factor of the Chen family in Nanyue.

From a private perspective, it is very shameful to Chen Sining; but from the perspective of the world, "kindness does not control the army, righteousness does not control wealth, feelings does not establish affairs, and goodness does not serve as officials." The kindness of a woman is applied to national affairs, and disasters will last for a hundred years.

Regarding Chen Sining's question, Xu Buling was silent for a while and told the second half of the story:

"You only listened to half of this story."

Chen Sining was stunned: "Do you know this?"

Xu Buling Shoude was Northern Qi, and he really knew about this matter. He nodded:

"That son of the prince is named Zuo Qiming, the previous national teacher of Northern Qi. Tuoba Ling is Zuo Qingqiu's biological mother. After the two got married, the monarch of Northern Qi also gave Tuoba Wangting a golden sword to Tuoba Wangting, asking Tuoba Wangting to take charge of the Lingji Whale Sea to dispel Tuoba Wangting's concerns and vigilance.

But if not one of our race, their hearts will be different.

Relying on this relationship, Tuoba Wangting expanded his territory for more than ten years, even extended his tentacles to Youzhou, contacted the Liaoxi Protectorate, and secretly started a smuggling business, providing war horses to the Liaoxi Army for copper and iron armor. Do you know what this means?"

Chen Sining didn't expect that there were some of the right and wrongs, and she frowned:

"If this is true... Tuoba Wangting took it upon himself. Poor that Tuoba Ling has done so much for the family, but the result..."

Xu Buling picked up the wine bowl and took a sip:

"Yes. I dare to challenge the authority of the ruler and secretly invest in the enemy. If it were me, I would still kill Tuoba Wangting. At that time, Zuo Qiming was granted the title of national commander and had both family and national difficulties. Even if his wife was Tuoba Ling, she would not be partial."

Chen Sining pursed her lips: "Even if it is understandable, he still broke the promise between the couple. How did he treat Tuoba Ling?"

Xu Buling sighed softly: "The Northern Qi national sects are all outstanding people. Zuo Qiming knew that he was ashamed of Tuoba Ling. After destroying Tuoba Wangting, he stepped down and exiled himself. From then on, there was no Zuo Qiming in the world. As for Tuoba Ling, I don't know the ending."

“…”

Chen Sining was silent for a while, but she didn't know how to evaluate it.

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Xu Buling put down the wine bowl and said seriously:

"I know Miss Chen is worried that I will wipe out the Chen clan from now on, and I want me to give the girl a promise, but I can't give this promise. If Chen clan is restless and should be destroyed, neither the girl nor the girl will choose, just like Zuo Qiming. This choice is in the hands of the Chen clan. It is more useful to persuade your father than to persuade me."

Chen Sining pursed her lips, glanced at Xu Buling, and said nothing more...
