Chapter 29 Big ticket

After breakfast, Chen Sining came to the room, opened the insulator, and fed two little snakes who could not hibernate.

The hangover incident surrounded her heart last night. Chen Sining was a little absent-minded. She didn't even notice that the little sparrow held a small stone in her hand. She stuffed it into A Qing's mouth, making A Qing dodge in horror.

Cui Xiaowan's body is still relatively weak, but lying down for a long time is not good for her health. In order to recover early, she will not worry about Xu Buling, so she stood up and walked back and forth in the room to move her hands and feet.

Seeing Chen Sining's appearance, Cui Xiaowan sat down in front of her and said strangely:

"Sinian, what are you doing?"

"Um?"

Chen Sining was stunned and looked down, then she realized that the food in her hand had turned into stones. She quickly took back her hand and said embarrassedly:

"I accidentally got distracted, so Sister Cui laughed."

Cui Xiaowan held the troubled little sparrow over, rubbed her furry head, and said seriously:

"If you want to call me aunt, you can't be confused in your seniority."

Aunt...

After Chen Sining knew about Cui Xiaowan and Xu Buling's relationship, she called him where to say it. But she was an elder, so she couldn't be too presumptuous, so she could only change her words:

"Okay, aunt."

"Yeah, be good."

“…”

Chen Sining pursed her lips and was speechless.

Cui Xiaowan was clear-headed and had no distractions, which made her look innocent, but in fact she understood everything in her heart. She looked at Chen Sining a few times, and asked seriously like an elder:

"Sining, do you like Xu Buling?"

Chen Sining's expression froze, and she hooked her hair hanging down in her ears, making her look a little embarrassed:

"Uncle, what are you talking about? I... Xu Buling and I are friends in the martial arts world. You also know what happened in Nanyue. He and I... well, there is no way to like each other."

Cui Xiaowan rubbed the little sparrow and shook her head:

"I thought so before, and I just came out and wanted to chat with friends I was interested in. Later I found out that when I walked out of the first step of Peach Blossom Valley, I was destined not to go back. Lao Jia understood at that time, but I was a person in the game and couldn't see through it."

The little sparrow chirped twice, as if she was saying, "Look, what is the person who has experienced it?"

Chen Sining only met Cui Xiaowan yesterday. She didn't understand Cui Xiaowan's style of speaking. She seemed to understand these words and thought Cui Xiaowan was talking about her past. She hesitated for a while and didn't know how to answer, but just nodded and smiled.

Seeing that Chen Sining couldn't understand, Cui Xiaowan stopped helping Xu Buling to kidnap his wife, but just sat next to him and fiddled with the little sparrow.

Chen Sining was originally very talkative, but when facing the older generation Cui Xiaowan, she felt that it was wrong to talk about any topic. In addition, she felt embarrassed when she got drunk last night, and the two of them fell silent for a moment.

I waited for a while in the inn. It was noon, and Xu Buling and Zhu Manzhi came back from outside.

When he found out that Zuo Qingqiu had come to Liangcheng, Xu Buling knew that the other party's trap was about to be arranged. After returning to the inn, he began to pack his bags.

Chen Sining packed the little snake and came to the room next door. Seeing Xu Buling sitting on a stool wearing soft armor, he walked up to him and helped tie the tether on the ribs of the soft armor.

Seeing this, Xu Buling opened his arms and asked Chen Sining to help, asking with a smile:

"Miss Chen, I drank so much wine last night, so I got a headache?"

"It's been fine for a long time."

Chen Sining tied the soft armor tightly, raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Buling for a moment, hesitated a little, and asked casually:

"Mr. Xu, did you hear any strange movements last night?"

Xu Buling knew what Chen Sining was worried about, shook his head and smiled:

"There is no movement, it's just that the quilt is too thick. You're sleeping a little hot in your clothes. Throwing the clothes around, nothing else."

Chen Sining breathed a sigh of relief and asked again:

"I...I didn't say anything yesterday, did I?"

Is this a question? Don't let it go? There is no way...

Xu Buling blinked, pretending not to know anything, and asked in confusion:

"say what?"

“…”

Seeing that Xu Buling's expression was not as fake, Chen Sining finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, I'm just afraid of talking in bed and making noise, which will bother you. By the way, what are you going to do next?"

After Xu Buling put on the protective gear, he put on his outer robe:

"You are planning to do a big ticket. Don't you want to see the masters in the world? You can take you to see enough."

"Um?"

Chen Sining was a little puzzled, but Xu Buling never explained it.

After packing up the things, the four of them left the inn and drove a small carriage to leave Liangcheng...

--------

The next day, a sudden blizzard swept across the wilderness of the northern desert.

Between the vast world, two camps of Liangcheng soldiers guarded the envoy's convoy and headed towards Mazongling.

Mazong Ridge is located on the border of Liangcheng County and is also the border of the right prince. After leaving Mazong Ridge, it reaches the grassland and is under the jurisdiction of the Northern Qi court.

The envoy from Dongyue came over and saw the monarch of Northern Qi. According to precedent, he was just passing by Liangcheng. The right prince was not responsible for contact and negotiation. He only sent troops to escort along the way because he met an assassin in Liangcheng.

This escort will naturally be sent to Mazongling at most. After that, the court will come to hand over and welcome the envoys back to Yancheng.

In order to make everything seem reasonable and Xu Buling gets caught and step on the mine, Zuo Qingqiu's layout was well organized and even chose the weather very well.

Suddenly, the weather on the grassland was harsh and it was hard to move forward. The team coming to greet would inevitably be late, and the escort team would leave when they arrived at the destination. This was when the guardian team was the weakest. In order to successfully lure Xu Buling, even the bait was placed at the front of the envoys' team.

In the cold winter, heavy snow is flying.

Han Xianchu, who came to Northern Qi as an envoy, rode slowly on a horse in a thick fox fur. Although he was so cold that his nose was almost frozen, he still looked like he was chanting poems and essays looking at the wind and snow.

Han Xianchu was a counselor under the command of King Song Siming of Wu. He had met Xu Buling. As long as Xu Buling came to Northern Qi, the purpose of destroying the peace talks was to see Han Xianchu, it was impossible not to find an opportunity to take action.

Next to Han Xianchu was Sui Jinshan, one of the nine ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty. At this time, he was also wrapped in a fox fur and was trembling with cold. The face of passing Sui Jinshan was still light and he talked to Han Xianchu.

Han Xianchu knew why he was riding a horse outside on a heavy snowy day. At this time, he tried not to look around and asked in a low voice:

"Does Mr. Sui take the news seriously? This ice and snow are used as a target, and it really leads the wolf. As long as I can catch it, I will explain it after giving it to my hundred kilograms of meat. But if this is not the case, I will be unable to withstand it from here to Guiyan City."

Sui Jinshan was confident and raised his hand to point to the carriage behind:

"Don't worry, as long as the wolf dares to come, he will never escape and will not hurt Mr. Han a little."

Han Xianchu also considered that when the Xu family was about to block the alliance, but he didn't expect that Xu Buling came here in person. After learning the news from Northern Qi, he was a little unbelievable, and chuckled:

"If you can catch that little wolf king, the dilemma between you and me will be solved. If that person is a little brainy, he will not be able to take risks. However, Mr. Sui is so confident, I believe Mr. Sui once. In fact, as long as he dares to come, no matter the few people in the carriage, the guards I carry will be enough to catch the wolf."

Sui Jinshan knew what terrifying existences Han Xianchu brought this time, and did not question these words. He just smiled and walked side by side into the boundless wind and snow outside the border...

-----

Two days later, on the eve of the New Year.

Xu Buling took advantage of the night to climb above a high ground near Mazong Ridge, took out his telescope, and looked at the movements in the town.

The town under Mazong Ridge is almost buried in heavy snow, with red lanterns hanging on the streets, and some children are setting fireworks in front of the door, giving way to the small town outside the border, which has a bit of the New Year atmosphere.

Outside the inn in the center of the town, several carriages were parked outside, and the escorted troops had been turned back, leaving only the followers to guard the outside.

Because it is a must-pass place to visit Guiyan City, even on the eve of the New Year, there are some passers-by in the town, but the number is much smaller than usual.

After a moment of scrutiny, Xu Buling put down his telescope and turned around and said:

"You guys are waiting here. I'll go over and do something. If the situation is wrong, I'll leave immediately. I'll catch up with you later."

On the snow slope, the wind-chasing horse was tied to a hidden place, and the little sparrow and two little snakes were watching nearby. The three girls were lying side by side on the ground, covered with white bedding as disguise.

Zhu Manzhi followed the convoy all the way, and could see that the team was not simple, and his eyes were a little nervous:

"Mr. Xu, be careful, or take Si Ning with her, she is amazing."

Chen Sining also meant this. She was able to get to the top of her martial arts and cooperated with Xu Buling. She was not afraid of any master in the world. Even if she couldn't help, she couldn't get rid of her legs. Seeing that Xu Buling was about to go alone, she spoke:

"I'll go with you. If you have a helper, you should always be more secure."

Xu Buling shook his head: "You can protect Xiaowan's branch, I can solve it myself. No matter what happens, don't come to help."

Cui Xiaowan lay between the two, feeling very confident about Xu Buling, and waved her hand:

"Go to yours, go and go back early, and the New Year will be held tomorrow. I have to find a place to cook New Year's Eve dinner."

"good."
