Chapter 72 Boiled Powder (283/602)

In the morning light, the chirping of little sparrows awakened the men and women between the curtains.

Xu Buling opened his eyes and turned his head to look. Chuchu leaned on his arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep quietly. There was still a three-point blush on his face, and his fingers were stirring a strand of his hair.

Although Chuchu is a man in the world and has a better physique than an ordinary woman, she is still a newly married daughter. She can’t stand Xu Buling’s troubles. Even if the master helps solve her problems every day, she is so tired that she can’t get up.

Xu Buling turned his head and glanced a few times, feeling a little reluctant to wake up Chuchu, and looked quietly without moving.

The sky was already dawn after all. After waiting for a while, footsteps came from outside, and Chen Sining was angry and reprimanded:

"Is the border army in Yanshan so paper-making? How could it be broken in one day? There is also Zhang Ying from Liuzhou. In the imperial examination, my father praised him personally. It would be better if he did not fulfill his loyalty to the country. Before he saw the flag of the Xiliang Army, he opened the city gate to welcome him. He also 'The Chen family imposed tyranny, and the people have suffered for a long time'. Why didn't I hear him sending a memorial to the capital and telling this matter?"

Zhongli Jiujiu comforted him: "Don't be angry, it's better to fight quickly, at least a few people died, it's better than killing blood. Look at the men who come back from the village, how happy they are with their wives and children..."

"This...ah..."

Chen Sining's voice was extremely angry, obviously because she was very angry by the news. This news was brought back by a strong man who escaped from Shibazhai. He also asked Aunt Gui to go to Liuzhou to worship the mountain as soon as possible, so as not to be too late. In the future, Liuzhou was merged into Dayue and would not be able to take advantage.

Xu Buling was not surprised at all when he heard these words and did not explain it. Because Chen Sining grew up in the ivory tower, even though he learned a lot of skills in detecting cases, he was just talking about war on paper. If she didn't let her see the situation with her own eyes, she would not understand how bad Nanyue is now.

Zhongli Chuchu was awakened by the sound outside. She opened her eyes a little sleepy, looked left and right before she woke up:

"My husband, why is it dawning so quickly?"

Xu Buling smiled and turned over and covered the bedding for Chuchu:

"Just sleep again, nothing is wrong, don't get up so early."

Zhongli Chuchu was indeed a little tired. She glanced at Xu Buling, remembered something, and said:

"By the way, Qingye will come here today, right? Did you tell them whether I got married to you?"

Xu Buling shook his head and smiled: "Your master said he wanted to give Yu He a surprise, but he hasn't told them yet."

"surprise?"

Zhongli Chuchu blinked, a little confused. After thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it and closed her eyes again.

Xu Buling possessed Chuchu's forehead and gently tapped it. After putting on her clothes, she opened the door and came outside the room.

Behind the courtyard, Chen Sining was busy working in the kitchen with an apron. The kitchen knife chopped the chopping board and made a "bumping" sound. The sour bamboo shoots found from the village were chopped into sour bamboo sauce. The large iron pot next to them was covered with the pot lid, and the steam almost filled the entire kitchen. The little sparrow and two little snakes were watching outside.

Zhongli Jiujiu was washing snails outside, and chatted with Chen Sining in a random manner. Seeing Xu Buling come out, he quickly signaled his eyes and asked Xu Buling to persuade him.

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead, waved his hand and asked Jiujiu to rest, then sat next to the kitchen stove with a small basin of water containing snails to clean. The snails in autumn are the most plump, but not easy to wash. They have to wash them several times with clean water, and then soak them in salt water until the sand is spit out.

Chen Sining kept complaining, almost chopping the stove. It was not until she was holding the plate that she found Xu Buling sitting beside her washing snails. Her face darkened, and she picked up the kitchen knife and pointed it at Xu Buling:

"You bastard, you really attacked Nanyue. Do you believe it or not, I will die with you now?"

This was obviously an angry word. Even if Xu Buling really had no reason to fight against Nanyue, Chen Sining could not stop it. What's more, now she suspected that Zhou Qin had plotted to murder her father and her mother's brother. She took Sikongzhi's antidote, and it was not easy to return to the capital to save her father. If there was not enough power to support her, she would restore her father's mind and might become the next day, "the monarch died suddenly and Chen Ju succeeded to the throne."

Chen Sining now has the only choice to be a living horse. He trusts Xu Buling once, and follows Xu Buling back to the capital and use antidote to save his father. Xu Buling sends troops to attack Liuzhou, and has indeed "eliminate treacherous parties and support the orthodoxy of the Chen family" and "speaks and follows the law" for the king. Using this reason at least means that the Chen family will not be killed, otherwise it will be difficult to write in history books. Xu Buling will not be indebted to defeat Nanyue and gain a reputation of "fake benevolence and false righteousness".

Xu Buling was washing snails, and he didn't mind Chen Sining's cold eyes at all, and said with a smile:

"I was already very restrained. I just let Yang Zunyi shoot the city wall. After two rounds of cannons, the South Vietnamese troops at the moment ran away. As soon as I entered the pass, the magistrate Zhang Ying ran over to surrender. It was easier than going back to my own home. I came to help your father clear the king's side. I didn't even want it for free in Liuzhou. I just borrowed a road to go to the capital..."

Chen Sining pursed her lips, and she didn't know how to say that she was angry. She said that she didn't want to give it to her for free, but she had already knocked down Liuzhou and became Dayue's actual control area. Is there a difference?

Chen Sining turned around, continued to cut the vegetables, and said coldly: "I can't stop you anyway. You said you were helping my father eliminate the treacherous party. When you conquer the capital, who else can control you? What are you going to deal with the entire Chen clan? Are you going to kill them completely, or take them to Chang'an to imprison until death?"

Xu Buling shook his head: "The world will be united for a long time, and it will be united for a long time. The military power gap has reached this point. As long as you Chen understands it, it will be nothing more than accepting the territory and submitting to the people. The soldiers of the people will not be affected. Chen is still a prominent family. If you can't figure it out, I can't actually do anything. Sitting in this position, holding this sword, and not moving forward, will harm everyone in the world, including myself. You are a girl's house, and it's good to cook at home, and you don't have to think about these things. When the dust settles, you hate me or be grateful to me, and I will continue."

“…”

Chen Sining frowned, and this was a reassurance. She stopped talking about it now. She took Xu Buling's washed snails, poured them into a large pot, and started to make soup.

To be honest, the smell of boiling snail noodles was a bit bad. Even the two little snakes were hiding far away, so Xu Buling couldn't stand it. However, seeing Chen Sining's serious appearance, he was embarrassed to go out, and just helped to burn the fire behind the stove and chatted with him.

Before the meal was ready, the sound of horse hooves came from the hillside.

Xu Buling heard the familiar sound and stood up and looked outside, but saw the nightingale riding a wind-chasing horse rushing up from the bottom of the hillside, followed by Ning Yu, a master and apprentice who was walking and chatting with Jiujiu.

Nightingale left Xu Buling for many days. As a personal maid, she missed her heart. Before she got off the horse, she flew into the yard and said with a crisp voice:

"Young Master...wow! What the hell is it...don't you..."
