The news of Luzhou's defeat was like the last straw that crushed Dongyue. The four kings who were originally lucky were completely awake when the news came, and then collapsed from the inside out.

The order that could have been maintained in Hangzhou was completely in chaos after the Zhou family fled overnight. The major families almost ignored the court at the foot of Baima Mountain. They were trying every means to contact Xiyue, striving to preserve some family fortune after the demise of the Song family.

Song Shaoying still had soldiers on his hands, but there were no soldiers to fight, and there were still people around him, but there were no one available.

Dayue Song family is over.

In March, the sun is dark and the flowers on the banks of West Lake are just around the corner, but on the shimmering lake, there are no scholars and ladies who are going to go out for spring, and there are no tourists who are going to go out for a walk on the shore.

On the long dike of the lake, a middle-aged scholar wearing a literary robe, carrying his hands on his back, looking at the beautiful scenery of West Lake. His eyes were no longer as deep as before, and only the dullness left after all the ups and downs.

Just like Eunuch Jia back then, I saw all the various aspects of life in my high position. When I came to my end, I found that the most beautiful thing was the moon in the sky.

Next to the middle-aged Confucian scholar, a taller girl was wearing a robe dress and holding a round fan, like a young girl from a scholarly family in Jiangnan. Her eyes were wandering on the lotus leaves all over the lake, and she was very excited and the master who came to Jiangnan for the first time, introduced it as a treasure:

"There is a bridge over there. I heard that it is called Broken Bridge. There is a tower over there, which seems to be called Leifeng Tower. There is a white santa at the bottom of the tower. My husband is called Xu Buxian..."

"Xu Buxian..."

Zuo Qingqiu recalled it, but did not find these allusions from his memory. He shook his head and smiled, and never commented.

Xiao Taohua explained alone for a moment. There was no tourist on the huge West Lake, and there was not even a juggling and snacking person. She couldn't help but feel a little bored. She looked towards the chaotic Hangzhou City:

"Master, the battle will be over soon?"

Zuo Qingqiu stood with his hands behind his back, silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly:

"Dong Yue is over, but the battle will have to be fought for a while."

"How long will it take to fight?"

"It depends on how powerful Xu Buling is."

"oh……"

Xiao Taohua seemed to understand and laughed, "Big brother is very powerful, he should be able to finish the fight right away." She looked at the master next to her, thought for a while and said:

"My master is now neglected by the court and is not a national master. I can't always travel around the country and enjoy the waters. The eldest brother said last time that if the master wants, he can go to Chang'an City to establish a sect. What the master wants is to create peace for the world. Now the world is peaceful, and I think the master should agree."

Zuo Qingqiu smiled, turned around and walked along the stone embankment, and after a little consideration, he spoke:

"The master is a mortal, not a saint. If he is a saint, he would not be defeated by Xu Buling. The warrior has a sense of arrogance of 'Who else' in his heart. This arrogance cannot be suppressed by his master."

Xiao Taohua frowned: "Master doesn't want to help the elder brother? It's okay, can you not do anything for him? Let's do our own thing, well... seek benefits for the people."

Zuo Qingqiu laughed: "After practicing martial arts, how can you avoid the sharpness of a strong man when you meet a strong man? If you want to benefit the people, just go with your senior brother and others."

"What does the master do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, let me tell you later."

"oh……"

While chatting, the master and apprentice gradually drifted away on the stone embankment with green flowers and willows... ——

As Luzhou stabilized, the situation became clearer and brighter. Outside Luzhou City, a large number of forces came from all over the world to seek refuge, from aristocratic families to small scattered soldiers and raids, and the Luzhou City, which had not been completely restored after the war, actually showed several different prosperity.

Yang Zunyi has sent troops to move to Huainan and Jinling in two groups. Under the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the push of Jiangnan is pacified. I guess I can't even fight a tough battle, but I just go over and hand over it over.

Xu Buling was in charge of Luzhou, started the aftermath work, arranged post-war reconstruction, assigned officials, etc., and just waited for the troops to come to Hangzhou, and then went to collect the last one.

It was dawn early in the morning.

Xu Buling felt a little breathless in a daze. He slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw nothing. After feeling it, he realized that he had slipped into the quilt. The baby turned over while sleeping, and the dumpling pressed on his face and hugged his head tightly.

“…”

Xu Buling blinked, and gently crawled out of Xiang'er's arms. He took a long breath before he lifted up Chun and looked at him.

Xiao Qi's workaholic nature got up early and was busy with business. Ning Qingye was afraid of being discovered by Manzhi, so she came over to join in the fun and went back to her room. Jiujiu slept on the other side, her eyebrows were full of spring, but she felt a little aggrieved. It was obvious that she was bullied by Qingye and Xianger yesterday, and he didn't protect her and she was not relieved. Maybe she was too tired and didn't even have time to remove the bell on her chest.

Xu Buling felt a little sore in his waist, but he naturally felt refreshed in other places. He looked around and held Jiujiu's bun and shook it. The bell rings, which was also an alarm.

“Woo~”

Xiao Xiang'er had always been getting up late. When she heard the sound, she frowned slightly, pulled the quilt up to cover her cheeks, and then there was no movement again.

Zhongli Jiujiu woke up, looked down, raised her hand and hit Xu Buling. She turned her back with a little annoyed, leaving Xu Buling the back of her head.

Xu Buling curled his lips lightly and kissed them on the foreheads in turn, then got up and put on his robes and came outside the room.

The back house was sparsely populated, and you could see Ning Qingye practicing swords in the garden from afar; Chen Sining had just stood at the door of the window, staring at him with a strange look. After seeing him coming out, he quickly looked elsewhere.

After finishing washing, Xu Buling came to Chen Sining's room. He wanted to ask about Chen Sining's injuries, but he didn't expect that the branches that had just walked to the door and had not had time to go in, but had just gotten up with the sun and had just gotten up, jumped out of the room and said with a smile:

"Mr. Xu, it's morning! Haven't you eaten breakfast yet? I'll go out for dinner with you. When I came here yesterday, I saw a shop outside, which looked very good."

Xu Buling was stunned, and he naturally would not refuse:

"Okay, let's go."

Zhu Manzhi looked at Chen Sining in the room in a blink of an eye:

"Sining, have you eaten your fill just now? Do you want to eat more?"

Since Chen Sining was kissed by Xu Buling that night, she has changed and she is a little shy. She was already ready to follow her silently, but when she heard Manzhi's words, she stopped again, and looked at the empty food box on the table, a little hesitant:

"Well... no need, Manzhi got up early in the morning and bought me a lot of food. I was almost overwhelmed. You guys go."

"Okay, let's go and have a good rest."

Zhu Manzhi laughed, then hugged Xu Buling's arm and dragged it outside.

Xu Buling felt Manzhi's little thoughts. Last night, Qing night, he also told him that Manzhi was jealous, so naturally he didn't say much.

The outer house is the general's mansion. The generals and staff of the Western Liang army were arranging military affairs. Xu Buling moved out of the side door and headed to the street from the alley.

On the street, the big snake that landed in Wuyuling was pulled back by the Xiliang army.

The people were watching the fun. When they saw the huge black snake passing by the street, they were all frightened and retreated a long distance.

The snake was wrapped in chains with thick arms, and was a little wilted on the car board, and its mouth was still stretched open. Two little snakes stood beside them with pride and were inspected by thousands of people. Unfortunately, the size of the little snake was too small compared to the big snake, and it was not as thick as the big snake's teeth. The people's eyes were attracted by the big snake and could not see them at all.

Zhu Manzhi held Xu Buling's hand and looked at Dashe for a few glances, but did not show the excited and excited expression of the past, but instead felt a little bored. After she pulled Xu Buling to the alley where there was no one, she let go of her hand, pouted and fell behind with a depressed look.

Xu Buling slowed down, raised his hand and put his arms around the shoulders of the branches, and glanced down:

"Why, jealous?"

Zhu Manzhi twisted her shoulders and muttered in a low voice:

"No... I just think Xiao Ning is unfaithful, and she said that she would be together, but she ended up secretly bullying people. Mr. Xu, you are the same. Men's family, you have to treat everyone equally. How can you always bully me..."

Xu Buling hugged him a little tightly and joked: "You are still young, don't worry."

"Why are you not in a hurry?"

Zhu Manzhi pursed her lips, put Xu Buling's hand on her clothes, frowned and said:

"I am so old, no matter how young I am, I am older than Old Chen in Qingye. Mr. Xu, you are just partial."

Xu Buling pinched it with his hands and nodded slightly. It was a bit big and could not hold it with one hand.

"What should I do?"

What can I do? I can't wait to be intercepted by Old Chen as the youngest...

Zhu Manzhi was muttering in her heart, but she obviously couldn't say anything about holding Xu Buling out for a room. She held Xu Buling's hand and hesitated for a long time before whispering:

"Young Master Xu, you are a man's family. This kind of thing depends on your intention..."

"Full branches!"

Before Zhu Manzhi could finish his shy words, a fierce call suddenly came from the entrance of the alley in the distance.

The voice was very strange. Xu Buling frowned slightly and looked up at the distance. He saw four people standing at the top of a house at the other end of the alley.

The leader was a middle-aged woman, about forty years old, with a round face and big eyes, a low figure, and a strong aura. She looked fierce and carved from the same mold as the branch.

Behind the woman, Sword Saint Zhu Liu rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, as if he was looking at the scenery.

After more than three months, Zhu Liu could no longer see any strangeness in his appearance. He hung his sword around his waist. Judging from his appearance, he should not be pretending. He changed his famous soldiers, but the sword was hung on the right, which means that he used his left hand to draw the sword. The right hand holding the sword in the past may be difficult to recover.

Beside Zhu Liu, his old partner Li Hansheng, stood in the corner of the roof with his hands behind his back, his eyes still looked three-pointed. Looking at Luzhou City, I don’t know what I was thinking.

On the other side of Zhu Liu was Xu Buling's uncle, former swordsman Lu Baiming, with smiles in his eyebrows, but he didn't look directly at this side.

Xu Buling saw this scene and naturally guessed who the woman standing in front of the three masters was. He hurriedly let go of his hands on his chest and put on a humble and gentlemanly posture while dressing.

Zhu Manzhi was obviously stunned when she heard the familiar voice. Her little thoughts disappeared in an instant, and only surprises were left in her big eyes. She hurried to the entrance of the alley and said in a crying voice:

"mother!"

At the top of the house, Guo Shanrong, who used three Wu Kui as background boards, stared at his daughter fiercely:

"How did you teach you? The man outside doesn't have a good-looking lamp, so you can be smarter. Don't be taken advantage of by others. You're good..."

Zhu Manzhi was almost twenty years old, but at this moment, she still turned into a crying little girl. She ran to the house, her eyes full of tears. Looking at her parents who had not been able to reunite for many years, she was choked and said in her voice, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

Xu Buling's expression was very stiff. He teased his girlfriend and was caught by a circle of elders. The feeling was not ordinary embarrassment.

Xu Buling gritted his teeth and thought that nothing had happened just now. He quickly walked under the house and raised his hand and bowed:

"Uncle, two uncles and aunts, when did you arrive?"
