Chapter 24 The wind stops and the rain stops(1/3)

The thin clouds dissipate, and the moon and stars are sparse in the sky.

Xu Buling walked on the official road outside Hangzhou city. The scars on his shoulders had been bandaged by Chen Sining, and the bruises on his body gradually faded away, but his eyes were still frowning, rubbing the small jade pendant in his hand.

Chen Sining and Xu Buling chased north for more than ten miles together. At first, they could see the vague footprints of the little peach blossoms, but in the end they lost their traces.

Chen Sining knew that Xu Buling was worried about Xiao Taohua, walked beside Xu Buling, thought for a while, and comforted:

"My husband, Xiao Taohua must have a reason to keep the jade pendant, not because you killed her master..."

Xu Buling sighed, put the jade pendant in his arms, raised his hand to hook Chen Sining's shoulder as support, and shook his head and said:

"I didn't kill Zuo Qingqiu. I was stubborn. I took drugs before the fight and couldn't even save me. I just caused trouble. But according to the direction Zuo Qingqiu looked before he died, I should have seen Xiao Taohua before he died. I just hope that guy has a little conscience and don't instigate Xiao Taohua to avenge him, alas..."

When Chen Sining was in Northern Qi, she had a good relationship with Xiao Taohua. She thought about it and said:

"The girl Xiao Taohua doesn't look like a man from the Jianghu Lake at all. Her mother is probably still in Northern Qi and should go back. Don't you still have to go to Northern Qi? Just go find her at that time. With your sweet words, you can't solve any misunderstandings."

Xu Buling still had to accompany Aunt Lu to give birth. At this time, he could not go to Northern Qi alone to find someone. There was no other way at the moment, so he could only nod and change the topic:

"Yes, if you are as easy as Sining, life will be much more peaceful."

??

Chen Sining narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly, raised her hand and patted Xu Buling's shoulder:

"Looking for a fight, right?"

"hiss--"

Xu Buling took a deep breath and hugged his arms a little:

"Dare you dare to beat your husband and forget the family rules?"

Chen Sining must not dare to jump around, but Xu Buling was beaten like this, what else could she be afraid of?

Chen Sining raised her eyebrows as Xu Buling looked:

"What are you doing to me? Do you believe it or not, I will calculate the new and old hatreds together now, tie you up and beat you up?"

Xu Buling blinked, and was determined to scold his wife but had no strength, so he could only nod:

"Okay, you are amazing. When my husband has better cultivation, I will tell you what the husband's principles are."

Chen Sining hummed softly, continued to support Xu Buling, and walked towards Hangzhou where the sea of ​​lanterns was like a tide.

Because of the Shilong Mountain incident, Xu Buling was delayed and could not pick up people at the ferry. Xiao Qi and Yufu returned to Baimazhuang by themselves.

The lights in Baima Village were brightly lit, and Li Hansheng had been properly treated. Several corpses outside the city were brought back, all of which were famous people in the martial arts world. Many people from the Dhaying Tower ran over to watch.

People died like a lamp that went out. Xu Buling returned to Zhuangzi, and gave an order to the nightingale, asking the guard to find a place to bury the half-faced Buddha and the swallows back to the forest.

As for Zuo Qingqiu, he served as the National Army of Northern Qi for 20 years and worked hard to support Northern Qi. He was the first hero of the revival of the Northern Qi Jiang family. Later, he led his troops into the Central Plains and even fought against the Guanzhong Army. The main troops of Dayue, the Liaoxi Army, were defeated step by step and almost jumped into the Yellow River. He was the best in the world in terms of civil and military achievements.

Even if Zuo Qingqiu was a minister of the enemy country, his life achievements could not be ignored. Xu Buling admitted in his heart that if he had no artillery, he might not have been able to do anything to Zuo Qingqiu. For this reason, Xu Buling specially buried him at the foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain for future generations to pay tribute to him, which is also an affirmation of Zuo Qingqiu's lifelong achievements.

After arranging these things, Xu Buling returned to the back house.

Ning Qingye was so scared that she hid back to her room and sulked. But after the conversation that revealed her true feelings today, most of the gap between the father and daughter disappeared. Ning Qingye just hadn't figured it out yet, so there was no need to go over to comfort her at this time, just let her calm down for two days.

There were not many people in the back house. Doudou hid behind the pillar with a red face and glanced at it. Her little face was washed pink and tender. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but when she saw Xu Buling, she hid in the room.

Zhu Manzhi kept paced back and forth in the veranda. Seeing Xu Buling back and forth, he hurried to him, his big eyes were full of worry:

"My husband, have Xiao Shier recovered? I specially cooked snail noodles and wanted her to eat them together..."

Zhu Manzhi values ​​friendship. Although he has only been with Xiao Taohua for two or three days, with Manzhi's social talent, they have long been sisters who worship each other.

Xiao Taohua came back in the afternoon, and Zhu Manzhi was quite happy. Unexpectedly, she disappeared in a blink of an eye. Then she saw Zuo Qingqiu's body, so why wasn't she worried?

Xu Buling didn't know what to say, but he touched the head of the whole branch and chuckled:

"I will come back, I just go out for a while and come back in a few days."

Zhu Manzhi pursed her lips and wanted to say something. Chen Sining walked up to him, took Manzhi's hand and said softly:

"My husband is kind to Xiao Taohua. Whether he repays the kindness of saving his life or the revenge of killing his master, he will definitely come back. My husband is injured, so let him rest and talk about these things later."

Seeing this, Zhu Manzhi didn't ask any more questions and said softly: "I'll take the powder over and have something to eat for my husband." He went to the kitchen with Chen Sining.

After Xu Buling ate something in the dining room, he returned to the rest room. The originally arranged "One Dragon Fighting Eight Phoenixes" must have been ruined, depending on the current situation.

After Xiao Qi and Yufu came to visit her, they went back to the room, leaving Chuchu in the room, and dealt with Xu Buling's injuries.

The bedroom was dimly lit. Zhongli Chuchu, wearing a red nightgown, sat on the side beside the bed, holding a squirting medicinal wine in her hand.

Zhongli Chuchu saw the bruises that had not yet faded from Xu Buling's chest and the shocking scars on her shoulders. Her eyes were filled with heartache. She gently applied it and said in a warm voice:

"Why did the two of them run over even though they knew that their opponents were so powerful? Qingye was almost scared to death, and there were still a lot of branches. In the afternoon, I happily cooked snail noodles, thinking about the family having a reunion dinner, but it turned out to be like this..."

Xu Buling lay on the bed, rubbed his fingers with the jade pendant engraved with peach blossoms, and said helplessly:

"I just wanted to sit down and have a meal together, so I ran over to persuade Zuo Qingqiu, but unfortunately I didn't persuade him. But it was a pity that he had gained. Uncle Li pretended to die, but he made it clear to Qingye."

After Zhongli Chuchu wiped the medicinal wine, she extinguished the candlelight, lay down beside her, and looked at Xu Buling's side face under the silver-white moonlight and whispered:

"Stop fighting and killing in the future. People who are going to be fathers soon. There are so many brothers under their command, and they still have to fight for themselves. Who can guarantee a smooth life for the rest of their lives? If you have a few things, I..."

Xu Buling put the jade pendant under the pillow, turned his head and looked at him:

"As soon as Zuo Qingqiu died, I wanted to fight, but I couldn't find an opponent. When I went to Northern Qi to fight, I just became a 'coach' in the army. I didn't have a chance to play. When I pacify Northern Qi this year and next two years, we will stay in Chang'an City and live a stable life. I'm actually tired long ago."

When Zhongli Chuchu was marching and fighting, she couldn't help at all. She definitely didn't want Xu Buling to fight again. She leaned closer, scratched Xu Buling's chest with her fingertips, and said in a faint voice:

"The war has been endless, and it has been more than a year... When did you go to Northern Qi?"

"Aunt Lu is almost eight months old. When Aunt Lu successfully gives birth to a child, I will go to chase the army. According to the time, it will be September."

Seeing that Chuchu was a little depressed, Xu Buling thought about it, curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled:

"Things always have to be done. In the future, life will take longer. When you return to Chang'an City, there will be time to be friendly with each other. By the way, what are you going to do when you arrive in Chang'an City in the future?"

"Um?"

When Zhongli Chuchu heard this question, she was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said softly:

"I...I don't know either. I originally wanted to go to the world with you, but now I don't want to do it anymore, so it's better to be more stable. We actually talked about these in private. Manzhi said that she would build a "Tiger Guard" in the future to replace the Wolf Guard. Qingye must have followed Manzhi. I have poor martial arts skills, so it's embarrassing to go in. Forget it. Well... Sining has high martial arts skills, but she wants to open a restaurant and sell snail noodles. The snail noodles smell so bad, I can't do it... Just open a clinic, I guess I have to bring my master to take charge, I'm a choreographer..."

As Zhongli Chuchu said, he felt a little aggrieved: "I don't seem to do anything well."

Xu Buling chuckled slightly, raised his hand and pinched Chuchu's face:

"You are good at dancing and proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When you arrive in Chang'an City, you can start a "dance show" to teach the daughters of Kuishou Street's dance. The whole story is full of the silhouettes and the others, and you will be sure to pester you and ask you to teach."

Zhongli Chuchu's face turned red. I felt a little embarrassed when I remembered his dancing posture, which was less clothes the more I danced:

"How can you be embarrassed to teach these things to those daughters... do you want to peek at them?"

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows: "How can this be called peeking? This is called appreciation of art."

“What art.”

Zhongli Chuchu poked Xu Buling's chest with his finger:

"You have so many wives, but you still dare to be lustful?"

"I just look at it, but I'm not responsible... Hiss--I'm injured, don't pinch..."

"snort……"

Zhongli Chuchu let go of her fingers and was about to continue chatting, but she found something pressing against her legs.

??

Zhongli Chuchu glanced downwards, and looked at Xu Buling with a strange look:

"My husband, you're like this... Do you still have bad ideas?"

Xu Buling spread his hands slightly: "It's just a small injury on his shoulder, but it won't affect other places, so don't underestimate my husband."

Zhongli Chuchu was half-believing and half-doubted: "Really?"

Xu Buling raised his hand and patted his chest:

"I am the real best in the world now. Zuo Qingqiu, who has been slapped with medicine, can beat him down. If you can't even do this little thing, what's wrong? Come on, come on, don't believe me, try it."

Zhongli Chuchu bit her lower lip, sat on the side of the bed, and glanced at Xu Buling:

"This is what my husband said."

Xu Buling lies flat on the pillow, looking like he is at slaughter:

"I can handle it even when the king of heaven comes, I said."

Zhongli Chuchu nodded slightly, but did not untie her nightgown, but faced the door in a blink of an eye:

"Sister Qiqi, Yufu, full branches, Si Ning..."

"Hey hey--"

Xu Buling's face changed slightly, and he quickly grabbed Chuchu's hand:

"Shhhh, my husband is injured, then what..."

Step on the pedal-
