Chapter 22: Meeting Peach Blossom Again(1/2)
The rainstorm is like a turbulent rain, and misty rains are connected to the river.
Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops were stationed outside Hangzhou City. After the civil war was fought, they were rewarded according to their merits, and the city was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Tu Qianchu and Yue Jiulou had already led their troops north and began to fight against the Northern Qi that had been in civil strife.
After Xu Buling's surrender ended, he met the Jiangnan clan gentry in Baimazhuang. After two days of busy work, the power transfer was completed, the city stabilized, and the tower ship also arrived at the port.
Lu Hongluan was raising her baby at her mother's house in Jinling City. Xiao Xianger and several older sisters stayed in front of her. On the boat, Xiao Qi and a group of little girls followed the army to help handle logistics and military affairs.
At noon, Xu Buling drove a carriage to the shore. After waiting in the rain for a while, the boat leaned against the shore. The most lively branches ran down from above and said with a smile:
"Husband, have your mother and the others arrived? Why didn't you come?"
The people of the Dayinglou tribe, as the Xiliang army marched these days, pulled nails in the surrounding counties and counties, and Li Hansheng and Zhu Liu were naturally among them.
Xu Buling walked to the pedal, hugged the branches with one hand, and picked them up and turned around:
"After the war is over, my father-in-law and the others celebrate in the city with the knowledgeable people in the world, and they can only meet at night."
Zhu Manzhi was so excited when she heard this. She was the daughter of a contemporary sword saint. Now that the battle was over, how could she not show off with her father in such a big occasion for celebrating the achievements of the martial arts world? She quickly turned around and said:
"Old Chen, let's go, Motochi will take you to see the world."
Chen Sining walked behind Manzhi and saw Xu Buling, her expression was not very close. Obviously, she had not recovered from the last time she played the role of the "Princess in Trouble". She lowered her head and wanted to leave with Manzhi without even saying hello.
Xu Buling was naturally a little unhappy when he saw this. He raised his hand and put it on Chen Sining's waist, and picked it up and turned around:
"Your Highness, why don't you even call me?"
Now that Chen Sining heard the "Princess Princess", she recalled Xu Buling's "superior" traitor leader, and felt that she was about to be forced. She twisted her body slightly:
"My husband, are you satisfied?"
"So perfunctory?"
Xu Buling narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his cheek again, signaling to kiss him before letting go.
Chen Sining was in public and had not yet opened to this point, so she was a little hesitant, but before she could move, Xiao Manzhi couldn't run away, and stood on tiptoe on Xu Buling's face and said:
"My husband, don't make things difficult for Si Ning, I will be punished for her."??
Chen Sining blinked, wanting to say but stopping, wanting to say but wanting to say. Thinking about it, let's just forget it.
Xu Buling laughed secretly in his heart, let go of Chen Sining, and then looked at the deck again.
Zhu Manzhi pulled Chen Sining and asked:
"Xiao Ning, Chuchu, are you going?"
Ning Qingye stood on the deck in a fairy-like white dress, hesitated and shook his head:
"I won't go."
Zhongli Chuchu stood in front of him, knowing that the people in the martial arts world were celebrating, Li Hansheng might be present, Qingye didn't want to come over to meet him, so he smiled:
"I'll accompany Qingye, you guys go first, just tell us once tonight."
Zhu Manzhi knew Qingye’s thoughts and stopped sticking to it now. She turned to the room above the boat:
"Afu, do you want to go and have a walk together?"
At the study window on the second floor of the building, Song Yufu poked her head out with a large stack of account books in her arms and said with a crisp voice:
"The ship that transported the baggage has just arrived and has to hand over to the military camp. Sister Qiqi and I will go back tonight. You guys go and have fun."
During the days of marching and fighting, Xiao Qi and Song Yufu were the hardest people on the boat. They spent several months in the piles of documents, and even had little time to go out for a walk.
Xu Buling felt a little distressed and raised his hand and said:
"The war has been over, so what else can I see? Come down and do it tomorrow."
Xiao Qi sat at the window, turned her head when she heard this, and joked with three points in her apricot eyes:
"After the war is over, the soldiers must also eat and pay military salaries. If they don't do anything, they will not rebel? Take your little wife to play, don't disturb Yufu and me from doing serious business."
Xu Buling laughed: "Then I'll come here to pick you up later."
Zhu Manzhi had a very high emotional intelligence, and he also added:
"Sister Qiqi and Afu have worked hard. Let your husband serve you well in the evening. Whoever dares to steal the branch or deal with him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the girls all had strange expressions.
Xiao Qi is from the older sister after all, how could she be teased by Xiao Manzhi? He raised his slender eyebrows and said with a smile:
"I finally finished the war, so I must celebrate it. You all come here tonight."
All come here...
One, two, three, four, five, six… Nightingale seven…
Xu Buling's smile suddenly froze.
At the window of the study on the second floor, Doudou, who was holding a lot of files, also poked his head out of the window and said shyly:
"Miss, do I... want to go there too? How embarrassed is this."
eight……
Xu Buling's stiff expression turned white again...
After a while, head to the streets of Baimazhuang.
Xu Buling sat in the carriage and took Chuchu and Qingye back to the white horse, leaving immediately, still thinking about the tough battle at night.
Ning Qingye and Zhongli Chuchu sat by the car window, chatting about some interesting things that happened on the boat these days.
Not long after the carriage walked out, just passing through the gate of Hangzhou City, Ning Qingye suddenly looked up at the street and spoke in surprise:
"Chuchu, is that your camel?"
Zhongli Chuchu was stunned when she heard this, then became surprised and hurriedly approached the car window to check:
"Where is this... this is my camel? Why is it so fat?"
When Xu Buling was surrendered in the morning, he actually saw Zhang Boyan, the former governor of Youzhou. It was just that the occasion was too big and it was hard to ask about Luo Tuo. Unexpectedly, this guy came over by himself.
Xu Buling approached the car window, and before he could look closely, a sound came from the street:
"Your Highness, two wives, are humble, Zhang Boyan. I had the honor of meeting Youzhou before..."
On the street, Zhang Boyan, who had taken off his official robe and was wearing only a cloth robes, held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, covering the white camel's head, with a look of fear and fear.
The white camel was a circle bigger than before. The slightly yellow hair turned into a snow-white color. I didn't know what to use for maintenance. There was no mud on the four hooves. I stood quietly on the street with silk covered on the hump. The fabric was more expensive than Zhang Boyan's robe, and he looked pampered.
Xu Buling saw this scene, which was a bit funny. The ranks of officials in a state are not the only ones that are down and out. They must be a play. However, Zhang Boyan himself is not a mediocre person. He was only swept to Jiangnan because the Liaoxi Army abandoned Youzhou and surrendered to the Four Eastern Kings. He picked up the curtain and looked at it, and waved his hand gently:
"Mr. Zhang is determined and sends the camel to Baimazhuang, and then follows the army north to Youzhou to resume his post."
"Oh! Thank you for your prince!"
Zhang Boyan was almost crying, and he thought that he hadn't been fed for so long. He quickly bowed and then pulled the white camel:
"Little ancestor, let's go."
Bai Luotuo also recognized Chuchu, stood there and sniffed two breaths. After getting Chuchu's permission, he left leisurely.
Chu Chu was embarrassed to see this scene:
"Yiyi, chasing the wind horse, and the two little snakes followed their husbands to fight to the world, so that they can get the current treatment. I, a camel, have no power..."
"Raising camels for a thousand days, eating camels for a while..."
"No, no!"
"hehe……"
Chatting along the way, the carriage passed through Hangzhou streets and gradually came to the foot of Baima Mountain.
Baima Mountain is located on the southwest side of West Lake, near Jiuxi Eighteen Bends. It was originally the Summer Resort of King Wu, but it was temporarily transformed into Dongyue Imperial City. The time was short, most of the buildings remained the same, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
Zhongli Chuchu and Ning Qingye got out of the carriage and were about to go and see Bai Luotuo together, but as soon as they walked to the gate of the villa, they saw Li Hansheng and the members of the Dayinglou tribe coming out of the villa. They should have just handed over the affairs with the general of the Xiliang Army.
Ning Qingye looked up and saw Li Hansheng, and his expression froze slightly, but he lowered his head in a flash, pulled Chuchu and walked quickly towards the side door.
Li Hansheng also paused, his expression changed slightly, but there was no abnormality, and he continued to lead his subordinates out.
Xu Buling couldn't help but shook his head secretly when he saw this. A few days ago, Qingye often went to Zhu Liu to learn swordsmanship, but since he and Qingye were on the roof that day, when he saw Li Hansheng picking up a "Shaking Mountain" with Li Hansheng, Qingye was hit and never went to Zhu Liu to learn swordsmanship again. The father and daughter have never met.
Xu Buling looked at Qingye who was leaving by the way, thought for a while, but did not follow, but stood at the door, waiting for Li Hansheng to come.
Li Hansheng's face was as gloomy as ever, and he slowly walked towards him with an umbrella. He raised his hand slightly and asked his subordinates to leave, and then said softly:
"Your Highness, Prince."
"The father-in-law doesn't have to be too polite."
Xu Buling privately asked Li Han to give birth to his father-in-law, after all, the relationship was real this time.
But Li Hansheng had no intention of mercy and shook his head:
"If you don't mind, just call me uncle."
I said this, maybe because I was afraid that Qingye would mind if he heard it.
Xu Buling sighed in his heart, but he didn't care about the title. He turned around and walked towards the stone path in the mountains, asking with a smile:
"The domestic war is over, what arrangements does my uncle have?"
Li Hansheng talked less and didn't want to talk about private matters with others. However, when Xu Buling asked, he still thought about it, walked beside Xu Buling, shook his head and said:
"The four kings in the east have been destroyed, the young emperor Song Lingru is fish on his palm, the Song family of Dayue is finished, and I have nothing to do. The thousands of tribes on the Eagle Tower, although they are all wild gangsters, but they are mostly bandits forced by blood feuds. If you give them a chance to join the wolf guards to cleanse their hearts and face them, they will serve you. Chen Chong's battle formation is good, and I have asked him to follow General Tu Qianchu and attack Qi in the north. Zhu Liu injured his arm, but it is not convenient to use force again. Let the couple stay behind..."
Xu Buling listened carefully, and after a moment, he smiled and said with a smile:
"What are my uncle's plans?"
Li Hansheng fell silent again. Obviously, this question was not easy to answer. After he embarked on this path, he had already regarded himself as a dead person and never thought about where to go after things were done.
Li Hansheng looked at the rain outside the umbrella, pondered for a long time before he said calmly:
To be continued...
