Chapter 5 Misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River(1/3)
Ding ~
The crisp sound of the bells was connected, accompanied by the woman's crying and complaining murmur.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound suddenly stopped. There were only two breathing sounds left in the slightly warm inn room.
The originally neat wing room was a little messy, with clothes and belts thrown everywhere, hairpins and jade pendants thrown on small tables at will.
Zhongli Chuchu's cheek was pressed against Xu Buling's chest. After resting for a while, he raised his cheek, hooked his scattered hair, and looked down at Xu Buling:
"Honey?"
Xu Buling lay down with his back and fork, with some sweat hanging on his forehead, and slowly closed his eyes and said softly:
"If you are tired, go to bed for a while. It's early, so don't hurry to go out."
"I'm not tired."
Zhongli Chuchu picked up the handkerchief, wiped Xu Bu's forehead, and her cheeks were flushed:
"I just don't know if I'll take care of my husband."
Xu Buling was not only served well, but there was no drop left. He opened his eyes, with a bit of arrogance in his eyes:
"My husband, I am the best in the world. Just rely on what you can do, just be comfortable."
"Oh...isn't it enough?"
Zhongli Chuchu's eyes showed a three-point apology: "It's because I'm low in martial arts and too weak in physique." She gritted her teeth, supported Xu Buling's sides with her hands, and lowered her head and kissed Xu Buling's lips.
I'll go...
Xu Buling's face turned pale, and he hugged Chuchu, his cheeks pressed against each other, and raised his hand to pat his smooth waist and back:
"Okay, okay, I have to buy medicine and rouge later. If you go late, your master will have to say to us again."
"Didn't my husband say there is no hurry? It's still early. If you don't have enough fun, I will definitely have to serve you well."
"Uh, that's what... By the way, Si Ning ran to Junshan Island alone. I killed Cao Ying and I might encounter danger..."
"Hundreds of thousands of troops were piled up at the door, and the Cao family didn't dare to open the gate. What danger would be there?"
"Oh, the visitor is a guest. Chen Sining came from afar and asked everyone to wander around alone. It's also worth it that I'll do as a landlord."
"oh."
Zhongli Chuchu felt that too, so she sat upright a little and was about to get the skirt next to her, but looked down at Xu Buling with a smile on her face and asked:
"It's very uncomfortable for my husband to be neither up nor down? Miss Chen can't satisfy her husband."
"It's nothing, men, I have to suffer a little grievance...hey..."
Zhongli Chuchu threw herself into Xu Buling's arms again, her green eyes were full of admiration and love, and she whispered:
"I am reluctant to let my husband suffer grievances. I have no use at all. If I can't even satisfy my husband, wouldn't it become a vase..."
"Chuchu, um...whoo...woooo"

The crisp ringtone rang again...——
In early spring in February, it rains for days.
The originally bustling Junshan Island was in a depressing state, leaving only a few Lifu who transported goods to walk around the dock.
Chen Sining crossed the lake alone and stopped in the square in front of the island, glanced at the ancient floor tiles covered with sword marks, trying to connect this seemingly depressed place with the holy land of the Central Plains in the past.
Unfortunately, the only building that can still see the style of that year is the only one that can be seen from the end of the square.
Iron eagle and deer hunting are a dividing line between the world. Before that, the Central Plains Jianghu was a place of fame in the minds of all warriors. People spent ten years of hard work to get a title on the list of gold, and warriors spent ten years of hard work to be able to become famous in the world in front of that dragon wall.
Chen Sining is a princess of a country, but she is also a real warrior. Since childhood, she has read many strange stories about heroes recording various heroes. She also fantasized in her heart that she could become famous all over the world like those famous knights.
Although the "heroes" in reality may not be as upright as the story says. Chen Sining has been studying case investigation since childhood and has understood very early on that the "jianghu" is an inability to do, and whether it is good or evil depends entirely on his conscience. Without any restrictions, his conscience is sometimes not very valuable.
But there are places worth nostalgic about in the world. A pot of wine, a sword, or a reckless "gatherer" who suddenly ran in to beat her up, drank and talked together, and went to the world together, wandered around the world together, and forgot each other together...
This kind of experience that will last a lifetime for the people of the martial arts world can only be experienced in the martial arts world. If the martial arts world die, what is the meaning of having martial arts?
Chen Sining walked along Junshan Island and found the buildings on the island according to the records in the chivalrous stories. Sometimes he could find some traces of martial arts celebrities from decades or a hundred years ago on stone pillars and archways. However, the world without the people of the world seemed to be of no interest no matter how brilliant it was.
Chen Sining turned alone for most of the day, finished seeing the scenery, and wanted to visit the Cao family, but remembered that the Cao family's unspoken son and Xu Buling had a holiday, so he would forget it and turned around and embarked on the return journey.
Just like when he came, Chen Sining wore a straw raincoat and hat, jumped directly into the lake, walked on the water and rushed towards the boat.
But when I was halfway through the road, I suddenly saw a small fishing boat slowly sailing towards Junshan Island on the shimmering lake.
The black-sailed boat is not big, and the tall young man in white is holding a white oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a bamboo pole in the other, moving forward slowly on the lake surface. Under the support of the misty rain in Dongting, the artistic conception is as beautiful as ink paintings.
Chen Sining's eyes lit up. Although the distance was very far, she could still tell who the person was from her figure. She turned on the lake and ran towards the black-sailed boat. She jumped up and landed on the other end of the black-sailed boat, with amazement and confusion:
"Mr. Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Buling rowed with an umbrella and saw Chen Sining coming, his handsome face raised a smile:
"Miss Chen is a guest. She ran over and strolled around alone. I am a bit rude in charge of the family. I wanted to go over and spend time with the girl."
"oh."
Chen Sining nodded and smiled, looked up and down at Xu Buling, and said strangely:
"The distance is not far. The young master is the best in martial arts in the world. Do you need to row a boat?"
“…”
Xu Buling's cold and extraordinary expression froze. He had never stopped from the night before yesterday. Every wife was almost stunned by the women's turn, let alone walking with great expenses.
But men can't just say that they have weak legs.
Xu Buling chuckled, looked at the shore of Dongting Lake with the slightest rain, and pondered slightly:
"The mountain path is filled with the hunting nets, the water gate is cool and the moon hangs the fishing rod; the flowers are filled with wine and the spring breeze is warm, and the chess sounds in the bamboo are cold.
There are beautiful scenery everywhere in the world. If they come and go like a girl, wouldn’t they all miss it?”!!
Chen Sining's heart suddenly jumped, and she was a little afraid to look directly at the gentle young man with both talent and appearance opposite the ship. She lowered her head slightly and said with a smile:
"I'm too anxious after being taught. So where are we going now?"
You can go anywhere, just don’t go to the kang... Xu Buling turns the bow of the boat and heads towards Yueyang City:
"The girl is a guest, I have to see where the girl wants to go."
"I want to go and shoot."?!
Xu Buling staggered and almost carried it into the lake from the boat. He turned around, his expression stiff and strange, and he was flattered:
"Uh... I'm afraid this is not very good... It's not bad, well, why don't we go and have a walk first? I'll prepare it carefully tomorrow, and then I'll have to feel a little ritual."
Chen Sining blinked, looked at the hundreds of warships neatly placed on the shore of Dongting Lake, and nodded:
"Is it inconvenient? Actually, it's okay not to go. I just heard that your 'Wukui Cannon' can destroy the city with one shot. Last time I attacked Nanyue, I couldn't bear to see it. I haven't even touched it. I was a little curious."
“…”
It turned out to be this cannon...
Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his forehead, turned toward the crossing fleet, and smiled:
"Of course there is no problem. I have to go over and take a look. I just came back the day before yesterday and I didn't have time. Now I just happened to go there together."
Chen Sining was a little confused: "Didn't the young master say you should prepare?"
"This gun is not required to be prepared, it can be reloaded at any time."
"Um?"
"Haha... the rain is so heavy, the water is so much, are the girl hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, the young master seems a little confused. Isn't it a cold?"
"No, I'm in good health."
"Why don't we step on the water? The boating is too slow."
"..., what, Si Ning, the world is a story and wine. Just walk around and take a look and you will miss a lot of things. You have to change your personality in the future."
"Oh, yeah, I forgot again..."
...
The head of a cow is not right and the horse's mouth is a lonely boat, gradually moving away from the lake...—
Thousands of miles away, Huainan.
Huainan City is the barrier of Jiangnan and the gateway to the entire Jiangnan water town. The Xiao family, which spans three dynasties and lasts for thousands of years, has been rooted here. It can be said that the entire Huainan belongs to the Xiao family.
However, with the four kings becoming independent last year, Dayue was divided into two, and the current situation of the Xiao family was just like that of the Wang family in Taiyuan, which was a bit embarrassing.
Prime Minister Xiao Chuyang was an official in Chang'an City and was directly criticized by the four kings in the east as a "traitor" who usurped the throne. The Xiao family's ancestral property was in the south of the Yangtze River. If it were an ordinary portal, they would be killed by the four kings in the east.
But the Xiao family has lasted for thousands of years. The Song royal family is considered a nouveau riche in front of the Xiao family. It has a greater influence in Jiangnan than the court. It can be said that as long as people who have read books and learned calligraphy, they have been more or less taken care of by the Xiao and Lu families, because behind all the schools and academies in Jiangnan, there are shadows of these two families.
