"who?"

Outside the courtyard gate on a snowy winter night, Xu Buling took off his hat and knocked on the courtyard gate:

"Miss Ning, it's me."

Bang-

There were chaotic footsteps in the yard, and the bench seemed to have fallen to the ground, and there was also a whisper of 'What to do, what to do... don't open the door...'.

Scream-

The gate of the courtyard is open.

Ning Qingye stood tall and graceful in the courtyard gate, with a lukewarm expression, and nodded slightly and bowed:

"Young Master Xu is here..."

Xu Buling looked easy-going, walked into the yard, turned his head and looked at him a few times:

"How many days to rest, will Miss Ning be injured better?"

"It's okay. I've spoken a little harder last time. I hope the young master will not look to my heart."

Ning Qingye grew up in the Taoist temple on the mountain. He was not kind to the world and did not have much contact with young men. Last time, he was angry and drove Xu Buling out. Afterwards, he felt that he treated his benefactor too coldly.

After all, Xu Buling was also concerned about menstruation. Maybe the young master of the aristocratic family did not regard these things as taboos.

Ning Qingye kept trying to apologize, but couldn't wait for Xu Buling. He thought Xu Buling was too worried, and he didn't have the chance to speak until this time.

"All the children of the world are all showing their true nature after going straightforwardly. There is no need to pay attention to so much."

Xu Buling chuckled and looked into the yard in a blink of an eye. But under the eaves, Zhu Manzhi squatted against him on the wall, hugged his knees and shrank into a ball, and moved carefully to the door, looking like "You can't see me, you can't see me."

Xu Buling walked slowly to the front and looked down at him:

"Manzhi, what are you doing?"

Zhu Manzhi's face was red as if he was about to drip bleeding. She held her knees tightly, squatted in place and refused to get up. She raised her cheek and showed a very far-fetched smile:

"Young Master Xu, you are here! What a coincidence..."

"What a coincidence, didn't you ask me to come?"

Xu Buling half-squatted in front of him and looked at him with a little confusion.

Zhu Manzhi hurriedly turned around for a while, turned his back to Xu Buling, and said anxiously:

"Mr. Xu, I'm just cold, squatting and warm, it's okay..."

After a little while, Zhu Manzhi felt warm on her shoulders and a piece of clothing was draped on her body.

Zhu Manzhi hurriedly wrapped herself in her clothes, her clothes were very large and tightly wrapped, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, Xu Buling took off her outer robe, standing behind her back in a single dress, with a smile on her lips:

"Isn't it cold now?"

"Thank you Mr. Xu..."

Zhu Manzhi stood up with embarrassment, and because his robe was too long, the hem was placed on the ground.

It is windy and snowy in winter and the weather is very cold.

Seeing Xu Buling wearing a single garment, Ning Qingye raised his hand to untie the tether under his neck and prepared to take off the fox fur.

But Xu Buling raised his hand and said, "Don't take it off, I can't die of freezing." Then he sat down next to the stove.

Seeing this, Ning Qingye had to give up and sat quietly next to the small stove without saying a word.

Xu Buling rubbed his hands and looked at Zhu Manzhi with a red face next to him:

"Come me, is there any good news?"

“Yes, yes~”

Zhu Manzhi finally remembered the serious matter. He raised his hand and stretched into his robe, rustling, and noticed something was wrong. He turned his back and put his hand into the collar of the clothes to search.

Even if you are facing your back, you can guess what you are doing by looking at the movements.

Xu Buling and Ning Qingye raised their eyebrows at the same time, with a strange expression.

Perhaps because he was hiding deeply, Zhu Manzhi lowered his head and touched it for a long time before finding the oppressed small paper roll.

"Give it, I found it from the document library."

Zhu Manzhi turned around, squatted beside Xu Buling, spreading his palms out like offering treasures.

Xu Buling blinked, and didn't have the nerve to ask, "Where did you take it out?" He raised his hand to take the small roll of paper, still with a little bit of warmth.

Ning Qingye couldn't stand it, so he turned his head and looked at the snowy snow, tightening the fox fur on his body.

Xu Buling was not a stone man, and it was definitely fake to say that he was distracted. He coughed lightly and opened the paper. He just glanced at it and his face changed suddenly.

"On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Zhaohong, I escorted the Dragon Gu from Chang'an to Youzhou. Before leaving, I checked with Jia Yi, the head of the inner warehouse. It was nothing special... Is this found in the document warehouse?"

Zhu Manzhi nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice and said with a smile: "Yes!... Prince Xu, why are you unhappy?"

May not let your face be ashamed.

Ning Qingye sat upright for a few minutes, with a serious expression:

"The inner treasury is the official treasury, in the palace..."

Zhu Manzhi nodded: "Yes, this means that the Dragon Lock Gu is really in the palace, and there is finally a clue."

Ning Qingye is a famous golfer after all. Xu Buling told her these things again, so he naturally understood the meaning of this news:

"Mr. Xu met a hidden place in the Wei River and never knew who the murderer was. The official family has been pursuing it, but there is no news. Now that the news of the Dragon Lock Gu was found in the document library, and it was still from the palace. It must be the emperor's move. If he can kill the first one, he will be the second time... Mr. Xu will not live on the day he leaves the capital."

"ah-!"

Zhu Manzhi's joyful expression froze and looked at Xu Buling weakly.

Xu Buling looked at the note and was silent for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he barely smiled and raised his hand to pinch Zhu Manzhi's face:

"Good example, a great achievement, just get news."

Zhu Manzhi was naturally overjoyed when she heard the benefits and interests of it. She squatted beside Xu Buling and muttered in a low voice:

"If the emperor wants to kill you, you will definitely not be able to escape. What should I do now?"

Xu Buling shook his head: "Xiliang Chen soldiers are 200,000. I am dead in Chen Cang, and I can be on the head of the Jianghu people. If I die in Chang'an City, the court will have a hundred mouths and cannot tell the relationship, and the emperor will not dare to kill me... But it is impossible to return the jade to Zhao intact... Maybe I will go back while lying down, or can't go back..."

Ning Qingye frowned: "Can you escape?"

Xu Buling sighed: "Not to mention the Dragon Locking Poison, there are eight passes from Suzhou to Chang'an, and Qianyang Pass, the first northwest pass of the previous dynasty. The imperial court stationed more than 100,000 troops along the way, saying that it was to prevent the Northern Qi and the South, but in fact, it was only to prevent the Xu father and son of the Xu family. If I could walk over alive, unless the imperial court was blind."

Ning Qingye's face became more and more serious. People in the martial arts world said they had come and go without a trace, but because there were too many people, the court could not control it. If they really wanted to deal with a person with the strength of the whole country, there would be nowhere to hide in the world.

The iron eagle and deer hunting ten years ago are a living example. The martial arts families that have been passed down for hundreds of years have been wiped out. No matter how high the martial arts skills are, they are just stronger ants in front of hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry.

Zhu Manzhi City was born and was young, so he couldn't imagine so many twists and turns, so he could only mutter:

"I have experience in stealing. If I really can't escape, I will definitely protect the young master..."

Xu Buling chuckled, thought for a moment, and frowned again:

"Manzhi, where did you find the news?"

Zhu Manzhi thought about it carefully and carefully repeated the process of receiving the errand, entering the document library, and checking the files, and then muttered: "There is a lot of dust falling from the box, and I forgot this book when I was dealing with the traces..."

Xu Buling rubbed his fingers, thought about them carefully for a long time, and shook his head:

"Not really right. You sneaked into the document library last time and found nothing. Now you just got a little bit related to me. This news has been found. It happened so coincidental..."

Zhu Manzhi thought for a while: "But no one knew that I had sneaked into the document library to find out the news, and the booklet didn't seem to be fake..."

"The court is intrigue and deceitful, and the face may be faked with facial skin. A trace is too easy to make trouble. If someone causes trouble, something big will happen... But no matter whether it is true or false, I will give you a direction. Let's confirm the authenticity of the news first..."

Zhu Manzhi said "Oh" and stopped talking.

Xu Buling threw the note into the stove, and as a burst of blue smoke floated up, turning into ashes...
