The sun and the moon are flowing, and it is the end of June in the blink of an eye.

The huge convoy headed northwest along the Hexi Corridor, crossing the five prefectures and gradually approached Suzhou City.

Suzhou is far away from the Central Plains, with a world of difference in customs and landforms and environments. There are endless yellow sand on many places on both sides of the official road. It is rare to encounter a green forest.

There are fewer tourists on the road, and there are so few pedestrians that can be ignored. The only thing you can encounter is a caravan and camel caravan, who set out from Suzhou City to various parts of the Central Plains, or cross the Hexi Corridor from all over the Central Plains to transport goods to Suzhou City.

The same is true for merchants coming from the Western Regions. Most of them go to Suzhou City and unload and hand over the goods. There are very few merchants who can travel thousands of miles away. After all, the span of time and distance is too long.

Strictly speaking, Suzhou City is not only a military fortress installed by the Central Plains dynasty near the Western Regions, but also an on-site port. The daily throughput is scary.

King Su supported 200,000 troops, and most of the economy came from trade between the two sides. The Left Prince Jiang Yan, opposite, was similar. It was safe to walk here. The horse bandits only dared to walk on the desert and Gobi, and were killed decades ago when they dared to rob the road.

Seeing the female lying and the majestic city on the earth showing outlines in the sky, the personal army carried by General Yang Zunyi breathed a sigh of relief, and the accompanying maid's tired cheeks also showed a bit of joy due to the long journey.

However, as the young master of this convoy and even this world, he is not in a good mood at this moment.

Since she was caught in bed by Mrs. Lu that night, Xu Buling's good days have come to an end. The baby doesn't kiss her aunt and doesn't love her. Even the two charming maids have run away. Old Xiao comes to serve Xu Buling.

The convoy was full of people, and Xu Buling couldn't get out of the carriage. He squatted in the carriage with Lao Xiao all day long to play gossip. Lao Xiao kept talking nonsense and was talking about the dirty words, so he would rather sit alone and stare blankly.

Since that night, Mrs. Lu has basically stopped showing up and ran to the carriage at the end with Xiao Xianger. The two of them ate and slept together, but they lost all the words they used to talk about, and they kept their heads silent.

Mrs. Lu didn't know what to say, and it was difficult to accept reality. Seeing Xiao Xiang'er's eyes were strange. She even slept in clothes and she would never meet again with sincerity.

Xiao Xianger felt even more uncomfortable. After all, she was hit by her good sisters on the spot and she had no worries to face it.

But it wouldn't be possible not to live with Mrs. Lu. If she disappeared alone, Mrs. Lu would definitely think that she and Xu Buling had gone.

Therefore, Xiao Xianger always pretended to be like "I'm detoxifying Xu Buling and didn't want that kind of thing at all." She deliberately stayed with Mrs. Lu to prove her "innocence".

The two women were so tired, so naturally they suffered. Xu Buling was a month old trip, missing both the baby and the aunt. Sometimes they ran over with a tight and shameless face, and they were chased out by the two of them, and they couldn't even see it, let alone anything else.

Seeing that he arrived at his destination immediately, Xu Buling breathed a little relieved. As long as he returned to the palace, he would always have some chance to be alone. The embarrassing situation on both sides should be over.

The convoy arrived at the city of Suzhou. Chen Zhian, the magistrate of Suzhou, brought the old gentry in the city to greet the city gate. Yang Zunyi and Lao Xiao stepped forward to talk, but Xu Buling did not show up and quietly entered the city gate.

Outside Suzhou City is a thousand miles of yellow sand, but there are worlds of difference in the city. Businesses and travelers are like clouds and pedestrians. There are also exotic women wearing hot clothes walking on the street. Many girls from wealthy families are standing in the fences of restaurants on the street and whispering:

"The little prince is back..."

"I heard that in Chang'an, I have become 'Zhaohong Yimei', and I am even more handsome than before..."

"Oh, it would be great if I could show up. That King Yan is really not a thing..."

King Xu Lie of Suzhou built the city of Suzhou brick by brick. The local wealthy families were basically descendants of their followers. Needless to mention their prestige and affinity, they only recognized the king's flag together.

Although Su Wangcheng is far away in the wilderness of the northwest, it has a large population. Of course, it is definitely not as good as Chang'an and Hangzhou, which have a population of one million, have a maximum of only 400,000 people in autumn.

Because the city has only been built for sixty years, most of the buildings are relatively new, and the planning is not as neat as the 108 yards in Chang'an, so it is just a "Longlong Street" that runs across the center of Suzhou City. The dragon is a jade pendant with a mouth and a tail. There is also a Huanfeng Street on the beach of Nanyue, which means the same, which probably means "closed loop". Unfortunately, Nanyue has not yet broken the country and this loop has not been closed yet.

Xu Buling looked at the various streets from behind the bead curtains of the chariot, and he was a little unfamiliar with his words.

First, Xu Buling was a human being for two lives, and his past memories were a little blurred. Second, "Xu Buling" was thrown to the border since he was about ten years old. He has been in Suzhou City for a few years, and his childhood memories are nothing but that sea of ​​flowers.

The streets of Suzhou City are crowded with figures, and merchants account for the majority. There are very few scholars and literati. Most of them are men dressed in rough clothes, and the girls are also relatively arduous. The kind of little beauties like Sis and Wen holding round fans are basically invisible. There are a lot of beauties in the Western Regions with long legs and big buttocks, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Xu Buling looked at it with interest. Just over a hundred steps away from entering the city, Yu Guang saw a woman at the window of a restaurant on the street. She wore a thin shirt and a red dress, a headscarf on her head, and even her face was covered with red gauze, only a pair of eyes were exposed, which were as green as a cat's eyes, which was extremely seductive.

Xu Buling turned his gaze and the woman had turned around and walked away.

There are many green-eyed girls in the Western Regions, and they dress up like this for the sunshade in the desert. Xu Buling didn't care about it and put his eyes back on the street.

Compared with Xu Buling's quiet exotic style, the atmosphere inside the carriage at the end of the convoy is much more lively.

The four women were divided into two groups, each lying on the window on the side, looking at the various scenes on the street curiously.

"Madam, the woman's thighs were half exposed, and her chest was not covered, so she was ashamed..."

"Yes, how can I get married..."

Mrs. Lu and Yue Nu grew up in Jinling since childhood, and later went to Chang'an. Naturally, they never came to this kind of "remote countryside". At this time, looking at the scenery on the street from Zhuque Street, the scenery of the ten miles of Qinhuai was a little difficult to adapt to, staring at the exotic girl wearing hot clothes on the street.

On the other side, Xiao Xianger and Qiao'e were lying on the window in the same position, because the Xiao family learned a lot of mixed knowledge and were quite calm:

"The barbarians who have transformed the outside world are like this, with their breasts exposed... How was that building built? How could it be like this? It's so ugly..."

"Miss, let's live here for the rest of our lives? There is not even a one selling rouge..."

When Xiao Xianger heard this, her eyes were involuntarily dazed, and suddenly remembered the scene of marrying into the capital. She was hiding in the carriage and peeking, just like going out for a trip, but she never thought that it would be a decade that made people almost desperate...

"Haha... this place should be better than Chang'an, I can't go back anyway..."

"oh……"

Qiao'e pursed her lips and saw that the lady was not in a good mood. After thinking about it, she smiled happily again:

"Actually, it's quite good here. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Just like we are in Huainan, I can't say that we can still go to the Western Regions. I heard that there are so many strange things there."

Xiao Xiang'er chuckled softly, noticed that there was no sound behind her. She turned around and looked at her, but saw Mrs. Lu also looking back at her.

The two of them were about to part with their eyes, and they both turned back and became embarrassed again...

--------

The palace is located in the east of Suzhou City. As the princes in the northwest, the palace is equivalent to the imperial palace of the earth emperor in the northwest. It is still very large. There is a white stone road in front of the door, with willows planted on both sides and a huge octagonal archway in the middle.

Although the royal palace lived only by the Xu family and his son, it was certain that no one could rule the twelve prefectures of Xiliang. There were thousands of people living in the disciples, counselors, servants, and the families of these people. Xu Buling had never been to some places since childhood.

Xu Buling went home, and the main gate of the royal mansion was rarely opened, because King Su was still fighting Yuanzhou with his troops and had not yet returned. The butler and military advisor Yue Jiulou also followed him. It is estimated that it will take half a month to return. The royal mansion is currently under the care of the butler's nanny Dingxiang.

Dingxiang is Princess Su's personal maid, so the princess naturally becomes a dowry girl. King Su Xu You did not re-rest, so Dingxiang was responsible for the internal affairs of the back house.

As the carriage arrived at the door, outside the side door of the royal mansion, Dingxiang brought more than a dozen royal mansion guests to greet him at the door.

The disciples are not guards, just like the old Xiao Laoyue, who has always had a relatively high status in the master family. Although the more than 30 disciples raised by the Xu family are not as exaggerated as the twelve disciples in Huainan, they are all famous figures in the world.

In addition, there are four generals Tu Qianchu, Yang Zunyi, Chen Jiye, and the younger generation of the Yuchi Zhenbei family. The parents of these four generals all followed Xu Lie to conquer the world and grew up with Su Xu You. They are both superiors and subordinates and brothers, and have a close relationship.

He had already arrived at the doorstep, and Xu Buling didn't pretend to be so miserable. He walked down by himself and led the somewhat cramped Mrs. Lu and Xiao Xianger to the main entrance.

Many families of guests and Xu family members quickly saluted:

"See the prince!"

They are all family members, and Xu Buling has no airs, so he raised his hand gently to let them be exempted from gifts.

Yang Zunyi's son Yang Guanyu, the same age as Xu Buling, was a little sorry for the name given by King Su, because he spent some time with Xu Buling. At this time, he was the most enthusiastic. He ran up to give a greeting first, and then said with a smile:

"Little Manzi, you're back. I heard that you were plotted in Chang'an a few days ago. I wanted to kill the dog with my father with a knife to Chang'an and chop the dog... Well, that's the case, but my father didn't let me go. It's not that I'm not loyal enough..."

Xu Buling still remembers this friend who was wandering around the border, and he didn't care about the title of "Little Manzi". He chuckled: "The second fool, I have grown like this for a few years. Now I guess I have to sit on two benches."

"My name is mighty. Now, when the prince goes out, I ride a horse and carry the flag, and even Tu San Uncle can't resist."

Yang Guanyu was very satisfied. Anyway, his elders were not around, so he was a little excited at this time:

"I was in the border back then. I agreed to wait until I grow up and go to the Lanxiang Kiln in the city to have meat. In order to wait for you, I will be as safe as a jade after returning from the border..."

"cough-"

Xu Buling blinked and signaled to pay attention to his identity.

Mrs. Lu and Xiao Xianger's faces darkened, obviously a little unhappy.

Yang Guanyu was careless and was a little dissatisfied with Xu Buling's style of being indifferent to the world:

"What? After staying in Chang'an City for two years, you have become a terrible scholar? You bet with me back then that you could let ten Western women go in one night..."

‘Xu Buling’ really bragged about this awesome back then, so he looked a little embarrassed and turned to introduce:

"This is Mrs. Lu, you should have heard of it..."

"Aunt Lu?!"

Yang Guanyu then turned her eyes to the two mature ladies holding hands behind her back, and her expression suddenly became serious and raised her hand and said:

"I naturally heard that the princess has become Jinlan's sisters, Jiangnan Yizhihua, Xuanhe Bakui ranked ninth, and the prince still mentioned a generation of strange women..."

Mrs. Lu was dissatisfied with her little eyes, and she became friendly after a few words, showing the elder's demeanor, and nodded slightly:

"Guan Yu is joking. I have heard of General Yang's name for a long time. It turns out that the tiger father has no dog son."

"Haha, I won the awards and won the awards..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Guanyu gave Xu Buling a "you understand" look, and ran away.

A bunch of the guests in the royal palace were used to this. Old Xiao walked in front of him with a crutch and said loudly:

"Guanyu has grown up and is much smarter than before..."

Xu Buling felt helpless and felt that his lower back was pinched. He didn't know whether it was the baby or the aunt, so he walked slowly towards the main entrance and greeted several uncles and uncles among the guests.

After returning home, the first thing he did was naturally to go to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

Xu Buling asked Lao Xiao to settle a large number of maids and servants, and after sending Mrs. Lu and Xiao Xianger down, he returned to the east wing of the back house of the royal palace, burned incense, took a bath and changed his clothes, and came to the Xu family ancestral hall behind the main hall with a four-foot sword.

Needless to say, the ancestral hall was not allowed to enter, even the concubines were not allowed to enter. The nanny and the maid stood outside waiting, and Xu Buling entered the majestic ancestral hall alone.

The Xu family was not prosperous. The old general Xu Lie was a butcher, and he didn't even know what his great-grandfather's name was. There were only Xu You, the tablets placed in the middle of the ancestral hall, with only four rows of tablets placed at the top, Xu Lie's grandfather, and then his parents, Xu Lie, and the bottom was Princess Su's spiritual position.

The six tablets were placed in the huge ancestral hall, which seemed a little empty, so there were many weapons and racks on both sides, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks and forks. They were all seized by Xu Lie from his opponent during the marching and war, and were considered spoils.

There was a long spear in front of it, named "Shuilongyin". The whole body was covered with snow-white spear like a silver blade. It was spotlessly protected. It was when the Emperor of the Great Qi army broke through with his own army and was captured by Xu Lie. The country's important weapon was no less than that of the Emperor's Sword of the Emperor, which was the heaviest collection here.

Xu Buling put the long sword "Hei Chao" back on the empty seat of the weapon stand, and then seriously lit three incense sticks in front of the spiritual position.

Because I had never seen Xu Lie, although Xu Buling admired him, he didn't feel much. Instead, he was Princess Su's spiritual position. When he saw it, he felt a lot of heart. After all, he remembered every bit of it when he was young.

After a moment of silence, Xu Buling possessed a gift and closed the gate of the ancestral hall and walked out of the ancestral hall.
