The prince is very fierce

At night.

After Xu Buling visited Xu Danqing, he took Song Yufu to relax by the Huaihe River. He did not return to the back house until dark. After hearing Manzhi say that Zhongli Jiujiu was back, he came to the courtyard where Zhongli Jiujiu lived.

Zhongli Jiujiu was not used to being served by maids, so she lived alone in the courtyard. The cold wind blew the lanterns in the corridor. The courtyard was very quiet. There were lights on the windows of the room, reflecting the woman's profile. A little sparrow squatted on it. On the beams under the eaves, half-closed eyes were shivering with cold.

Xu Buling walked into the courtyard with gentle steps, took out a handful of shelled pine nuts, and placed them on the stone table in the courtyard.

The little sparrow has no name, but Xu Buling named it "Yiyi" in his spare time, which means "nine shallow and one deep". Of course, this meaning did not dare to be told to Zhongli Jiujiu.

The little sparrow had been carefully raised by Zhongli Jiujiu for many years. It was extremely smart. After giving Xu Buling a glance, it flapped its small wings and landed silently on the snow on the stone table, still staring at Xu Buling. Xu Buling took out some more pine nuts, then nodded his little head to eat them with satisfaction.

After Xu Buling secured the sentry post, he walked softly to the window and took a look through the gap in the window.

Zhongli Jiujiu was sitting sideways in front of a small table in a nightgown. It was cold in winter and she was not too exposed. The loose skirt covered her graceful figure, but the hem of the skirt was pulled up, revealing two leather leg rings above the knees.

Looking from the side, she is still wearing safety pants. The obscene trousers in this world are relatively long, similar to autumn trousers. Zhongli Jiujiu must have cut them herself. They are very short and resemble a hip-covering skirt. The tulle fabric is close to the skin, and the Every detail is drawn to perfection...

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not bully the darkroom. Xu Buling's eyes did not stop and moved to the small case. There were a bunch of bottles and cans on the table, as well as medicine pounding jars, copper scales and other tools. However, looking at Zhongli Jiujiu's sneer-like expression, he was definitely not preparing gold sore medicine. I'm afraid he heard that Xu Danqing was here. , preparing gifts for the reception.

Xu Buring shook his head, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door:

"Miss Jiujiu?"

In the room, Zhongli Jiujiu, who was preparing the 'Tickling with a Half Step', was startled when he heard the sound and almost spilled the medicine powder on himself. She secretly complained that the little sparrow went to bed after eating and didn't care about anything. She got up and straightened her skirt, found a shawl to put on her body, and opened the door.

Seeing Xu Buling standing in front of the door, Zhonglijiujiu's eyes were a little complicated - she saw her apprentice Chu Chu a little confused a few days ago, and as an elder, she originally wanted to take the opportunity to bring Chu Chu and Xu Buling together. But after learning that Xu Buling and Ning Yu were sleeping together, this plan was naturally abandoned, and he pulled Chu Chu back and said a few words to Chu Chu.

Chu Chu probably didn't like Xu Buling yet, but she was unconvinced by Xu Buling's cold attitude. Apart from being a little embarrassed, she didn't take it to heart at all, and returned to normal by the afternoon.

However, Zhongli Jiujiu was obviously in a difficult situation at this time. If he continued to fight with Ning Yu, he would have to involve himself; if he didn't fight with Ning Yu, he would be squeezed by Ning Yu for the rest of his life. After all, she couldn't find him. A man who is more handsome than Xu Bu Ling, has great martial arts skills, has a high position, and is extremely talented. He is still a little dissatisfied with being suppressed by Ning Yuhe for so many years...

Zhonglijiujiu likes to fight for his own reputation when he is alive, but he is not so mad that he doesn't care about anything. He keeps himself clean and self-sufficient, and will never give himself to a man he doesn't like for a little vanity, but he just wants to There's nothing annoying about it...

Zhonglijiujiu was thinking a lot, but still felt that he should stabilize the situation first and wait until he figured it out later. A bit of a smile appeared at the moment:

"Mr. Xu, why are you here? Can't you get up and ask for medicine?"

Can't get up...

Xu Buling tilted his head slightly, a little surprised.

Zhongli Jiujiu didn't think there was anything wrong with this joke, so she opened the door to the room and said, "I am a doctor, and I don't want to be treated when I am sick. Since you have given me wages, I will naturally help you solve the problem this month. If you don't talk about it, I won't. Even if you want some medicine to make it more interesting, sister, I can prepare it for you."

Seeing that Zhongli Jiujiu had returned to normal, Xu Buling felt a little relieved and chuckled:

"Miss Jiujiu is joking, I don't have any use for those items. I just came here to explain what happened during the day."

Entering the house, Zhongli Jiujiu did not close the door. The two sat across from each other in front of the small case. She continued to play with her bottles and jars, and said softly:

"Chu Chu has been alone since she was a child, and I haven't taught her much about worldliness. The reason for dancing today is not because I admire Mr. Xu. I just want to make friends with you. Don't take it to heart."

Xu Buling felt a little relieved when he saw that Jiujiu had no misunderstanding. He raised his hand to pick up a small bottle on the table, looked at it casually for a few times, and then said

"Miss Jiujiu is preparing itching powder for Xu Danqing?"

Zhongli Jiujiufeng Qingyun's expression froze. After thinking for a while, he snorted lightly:

"What? You want to take care of this? Back then, he personally promised to paint for me, and even asked me to go to Chang'an City to buy wine. But in the end, he traveled thousands of miles back and forth without even saying a word. He didn't even give an explanation, especially Is it that saying, "No matter how hard it is to draw a beautiful woman in the world," it's obvious that I'm not good enough and I can't even retaliate?"

Xu Buling shook his head: "Xu Danqing also has difficulties. If I really painted you back then, have you ever thought about what you would do?"

"..."

Zhongli Jiujiu frowned slightly. She had been worried about not becoming the Eight Chiefs of the Central Plains since she was a teenager. She really had not thought about what she would do after the success, but...but the matter was obviously not settled. .

"What's mine is mine. No matter how worthless it is, I can't let others ruin it. If it's not mine, I won't rob it. No matter why I want to be the eighth leader, I have this condition, and Xu Danqing agreed again, then I should be the one who decides whether to take it or not, right? He can't blame me for his back-tracking..."

Xu Buling had nothing to say about this explanation, and thought for a while: "It is right to fight for what you deserve. If Miss Jiujiu is really unable to let go, how about I talk to Xu Danqing and ask him to give it to you now? Paint a picture?”

When Zhongli Jiujiu heard this, there was no look of joy on his cheeks. He shook his head and said: "You are too old. It's pointless to fight with a little girl. It's useless not to talk about it. Instead, you will be criticized by idlers..." He said this , she raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Buling strangely:

"Xu Bu Ling, why are you so nice to me?"

Xu Buling spread his hands: "I treat everyone like this. Xu Danqing is Yu Fu's elder after all. I just come here to make peace with him."

Zhongli Jiujiu looked at Xu Buling carefully and nodded slightly: "It's okay, you, the financial backer, are here to be the lobbyists. I'll spare Xu Danqing for now."

Xu Buling felt a little relieved after hearing this...
