The prince is very fierce

There were no stops along the way, and the journey of hundreds of miles took only three days thanks to the rapid river water.

When we arrived at Dongting Lake, the rain hadn't stopped yet, and we almost bumped into a boat full of singers and talents, only to realize that we had arrived.

It was raining at dusk, and smoke was curling up on the lake. You could see the famous buildings on the shore of the lake in the distance. There were relatively few pedestrians on the street, but it gave off a bit of the charm of the misty Jiangnan.

Under the guidance of the boatman, the building boat slowly docked at the shore. The rain was neither heavy nor light, so Mrs. Lu and Xiao Xiang'er did not go out in the rain to think. They still sat in the house and exchanged skin care tips with Zhongli Jiujiu.

Zhongli Jiujiu is not just an embroidered pillow in a show. You can see his ability by training Zhongli Chuchu into the eighth leader of Zhaohong. There are all kinds of beauty secrets emerging in an endless stream, from hair care to toes. Listen to the knowledgeable Xiao Xiang'er was so shocked that even Ning Yuhe, who wanted to find fault, couldn't find any fault.

Xu Bu Ling naturally did not interfere in this matter. After all, 'women should look after those who please themselves'. Zhu Manzhi and Nightingale are young, so they are not very interested in these things, but are more interested in crabs.

Winter is about to come and we won’t be able to eat the most juicy crabs any time soon. In order not to leave any regrets, Zhu Manzhi ran to the deck as soon as the ship docked, and even pulled Ning Yuhe out, and together they went to what Ning Yuhe said last time. A small shop with good quality and low price.

Xu Buling agreed to go eat crabs with Manzhi. There was nothing wrong on the boat, so he took Nightingale and the four of them got off the boat together.

At dusk, there were few people on the street. Nightingale held an umbrella and walked in front of Xu Buling, looking around curiously. Zhu Manzhi hid under Ning Yuhe's umbrella and came here once. At this time, he was quite experienced as a tour guide:

"Ahead is the Yueyang Tower, which is three stories high. Next to it is the most famous restaurant in Yueyang, Cyclamen. The owner is Chen Han, the leader of the boat gang. After the Cao family retired from the world, he has the most extensive connections, just like the fourth master of Chang'an, Chen Han. almost……"

Xu Buling looked at the words and thought for a while: "Besides the Cao family, are there any other masters in Yueyang?"

"Well……"

Zhu Manzhi blinked. She was looking for food and really didn't pay attention to this.

Nightingale thought about it for a moment, then said:

"Yueyang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. To this day, the three religions and nine streams still gather together, and there are many masters among them. In addition to the Hutoushan Lin family who opened the martial arts school, there are also Pengjiazhuang, Longwan He family, etc. Although they are not considered to be first-class families, they are also small in the world. Fame. In addition, there are also many rangers. The most famous one is probably the gangster 'Ghost Lady' ten years ago, who is still on the A-list bounty list of the Detective Department..."

Zhu Manzhi came from the Criminal Investigation Department, but he had been patrolling the streets from beginning to end. He really didn't remember the list of ruthless gangsters in the yamen, but he knew the danger level of the gangsters very well.

The criminals with rewards in the case library are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. There is no need to send out wolf guards for common people to commit crimes. The wanted criminals with C rank are at least officials or those who committed murder and arson. Wu You and Xue Yi fall into this category, while the B rank criminals The extremely difficult gangster is also the main target of the Wolf Guard's arrest.

Needless to say, those with a rank A were all outlaws who could get up there. Zhu Liu, Li Hansheng, etc. were among them, and there were not many in total.

Zhu Manzhi was naturally surprised to hear that there was such a number one person in Yueyang:

"A gangster with a rank of A? Isn't that similar to my father? What did that ghost lady do?"

Nightingale shook her head. She just wrote down the court's arrest document. She didn't know the details. She just said:

"He killed an official and rebelled. His martial arts skills are extremely high. I didn't catch him anyway."

Ning Yuhe held a white oil-paper umbrella and turned around:

"I had just arrived in Wudang Mountain at that time. At that time, the world was in chaos. Many Jianghu people rebelled against the court. The Ghost Empress appeared at that time. She stayed anonymous and no one knew who she was. She was assassinating people everywhere in Chu. The wolf guards and officials killed nearly a hundred people in just two months, and then they went directly to the Prince of Chu's Mansion and almost took off the head of the Prince of Chu..."

Xu Buling was slightly surprised when he heard this. As the eldest son of the vassal prince, he naturally understood the vassal prince's family background. Prince Su's Mansion was located in the barren Western Region, and its defense was already exaggerated. However, the two wealthy kings, King Chu and King Wu The vassal king is naturally only strong but not weak. He dares to rush into the Chu Palace to assassinate him, which is not much different from the difficulty of entering the Taiji Palace to kill the emperor.

Xu Buling thought for a while: "How come I haven't heard of this person?"

Ning Yuhe sighed: "The King of Chu responded to the imperial court's purge of Jianghu people, so he was naturally on guard. At that time, he secretly invited Chen Daozi from Wudang Mountain and Lin Da from Hutou Mountain to the palace to prevent any unexpected events. The Ghost Empress rashly broke in to eat I suffered a big loss. I once heard Chen Daozi talk about one time. He was hit by three swords and fled. I'm afraid it hurt his roots. Since then, he has disappeared..."

Xu Bu Ling nodded.

During the conversation, the four of them came to a small shop in the back alley of the market, named ‘Yang Ji’.

The shop has been around for some years and was built in a relatively remote back alley. There are only four tables in it. A faint aroma comes from the direction of the kitchen, which makes people feel appetite after smelling it.

It was raining and there were no customers. The proprietress in a sarong sat at a table by the window and watched the seven or eight-year-old girl next to her write.

The landlady was in her thirties, with a petite figure in Jingchai's sarong, and a very soft appearance. When she saw a customer coming in, she stood up with a smile and greeted:

"It's your first time for some of our guests. Please come in."

Although the store is small, it is kept extremely clean and tidy. The little girl who is writing is wearing a skirt and looks very polite. She also stood up and gave her a blessing.

Xu Buling chose a table with good lighting and sat down, and asked Manzhi to order a few special delicacies.

Nightingale was still thinking about the conversation just now and said seriously:

"The Ghost Empress met Chen Daozi and all the disciples of Prince Chu's Mansion, but she escaped with serious injuries. She can indeed be called a tough bandit."

Ning Yuhe sat on Xu Buling's left hand side, poured tea for the three of them, shook his head and sighed softly:

"Killing officials is naturally a bandit, but people in the world are not necessarily evil people. Just like Zhu Laojian Sheng and Manzhi's father Zhu Liu, they are naturally gangsters in the eyes of the court, but in the world they are heroes and have integrity. The rules are that you won’t kill people without reason, and you won’t bully the weak. They are much better than most court officials..."

Ning Yuhe was born in the Jianghu family and was deeply affected by it. He was naturally biased against the imperial court's iron eagle hunting deer.

Xu Buling thought for a moment: "The rules of Jianghu are based on personal morality, but there are not many Jianghu people with high moral character. The law is the bottom line of morality. The court may have done something wrong, but the Dayue Law is definitely better than the rules of Jianghu." Can distinguish between good and evil in people.”

Jianghu is a social environment that is not bound by laws and it is impossible to coexist. In fact, these words are meaningless.

Ning Yuhe nodded and did not refute Xu Buling, but said softly:

"When Iron Eagle was hunting deer, the emperor ordered to clean up the unruly people in the rivers and lakes. The order was passed down from one level to the next in Chang'an, but it completely changed when it reached the bottom. Many officials relied on their positions to exploit the forces of the rivers and lakes indiscriminately. , if you say you are a bandit, you are a bandit. If you dare to say no, you will be confiscated and beheaded. If not, how could the last scene have happened... In my opinion, the ghost empress is a knight, murderer They are all corrupt officials. If it were me, I would still do that..."

Xu Buling thought for a moment: "Escape with serious injuries but not dead is considered a good ending."

In the small shop, the little girl who was writing saw her mother going to the kitchen and was also lazy to listen. Maybe she didn't understand at this time, so she turned around and asked in a low voice:

"Is that ghost lady a good person or a bad person? I heard many guests say this..."

The little girl is very cute, gentle and quiet, and not very afraid of life.

Xu Buling looked at it for a few times, tilted his head and chuckled:

"It's just different positions. There are no good or bad people. My little sister studies hard and will understand when she grows up."

"oh……"

The little girl didn't seem to understand, so she turned back and continued writing.

After a while, the landlady came over with a few side dishes and placed them on the table. They were steaming hot, delicious and delicious.

Xu Buling and Manzhi Nightingale had no intention of talking about irrelevant things at the moment, so they picked up their chopsticks and started to eat happily.

Ning Yuhe was a monk and was not a vegetarian. He just ordered a bowl of porridge and sat next to him, serving tea and pouring water.

The shop was not big and there were no other customers. Zhu Manzhi was not very good at eating crabs. When he saw the proprietress sitting quietly beside him, he pulled her over for advice.

The proprietress was very kind and answered all questions. During the chat, she learned that her husband was called Meng Hua, and that her husband worked as the head of a bodyguard agency in Yueyang. He and his eight-year-old daughter ran a small shop to make a living, and the family of three was considered a happy family.

After all, Xu Buling was a man. He did not disturb the women's chat. He just sat next to him as an escort. After a few glasses of wine, Man Zhier was seriously studying how to eat crab legs when he suddenly appeared in the rainy back alley. A figure wearing a robe, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and an unsheathed iron sword hanging from his waist stood on the roof of a wine shop.

Xu Buling was picking up the wine glass. After noticing it from the corner of his eye, he turned around to look. But there was no one on the roof of the wine shop in the distance. Instead, there was a middle-aged man sitting at the window of the wine shop, looking at him with a pair of plain eyes. Looking at him.

His eyes were as sharp as a sword, hard to look into, but not hostile at all.

Xu Buring didn't know this person. Seeing that he seemed to be here to find him, he frowned and thought for a while, then asked Ning Yuhe to continue eating with the two girls. He went to the distant place alone on the pretext of buying a bottle of wine. Wine shop... ——

It took a lot of time to write the detailed outline today, so there are only two updates.
