The prince is very fierce

Chapter 11: Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

It's August, the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The autumn rain is like a curtain, falling on the eight hundred miles of Dongting filled with smoke.

At noon, at the military camp outside the city, the Xiliang army and Fu soldiers were taking shelter from the rain in their tents. In the tent near the commander's tent, Zhongli Chuchu, dressed in red, sat among a large pile of medicinal materials, grinding them carefully with a roller, while Zhongli Jiujiu was mixing the medicine beside her.

The rain was so heavy that although the tent did not leak, the crackling sound made it impossible to hear each other's voices. The little sparrow couldn't go out for a walk, so it lay listlessly in the golden nanmu nest carved by Xiao Xiang'er's hand in a daze.

After more than a month of continuous marching and fighting, either rushing or grinding medicine in the tent, working overtime without overtime pay, not to mention Chuchu, even Jiujiu felt a little bored, and she raised her eyes from time to time to glance in the direction of the commander's tent.

After going back and forth several times, Zhongli Chuchu said:

"Master, why do you always look outside?"

Zhongli Jiujiu looked outside and was naturally jealous of Ning Yuhe. Ning Yuhe has been standing guard at night these days. He ran into the tent halfway through the station and came out the next morning. Without even thinking about it, he knew that he was going to feed his husband white steamed buns. Ning Qingye knew it and didn't say anything. Go ahead and bother.

But Zhongli Jiujiu was different. She tried every means to find excuses before she could go to have a private meeting with Xu Buling. Sometimes she had to run back just to satisfy her craving. She never dared to stay overnight. It had been a long time since she had slept in Xu Buling's arms. Have slept in.

Hearing his disciple's inquiry, Zhonglijiujiu shook his head and said:

"It's strange to say that Qing Ye clearly knows what her master does every night, but she doesn't have any opinions at all. She also doesn't know how Ning Yuhe, the apprentice, teaches..."

The words seemed to be talking about Ning Yuhe, but the meaning behind the words was too obvious.

Zhongli Chuchu was silent for a while, without speaking, just lowering his head and grinding the medicinal materials, as if the rain was too loud and he didn't hear anything.

Zhongli Jiujiu sighed secretly when he saw this, without saying much, he continued to prepare the golden sore medicine without complaint.

The two of them had been sitting for a while, and before it got dark, the sound of wheels came from outside, from far to near, and they came to the outside of the tent, and opened the door curtain with one hand.

Zhongli Chuchu looked up and saw Xu Buling standing at the door, put on an ordinary white robe, and said with a smile:

"It's raining today. There's nothing in the military camp. I'll take you to the city for a walk. Autumn is the time to eat crabs. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year."

Behind Xu Buling, Ning Qingye and Ning Yuhe both put on their clothes and waited quietly in the carriage, with Nightingale sitting in front and driving.

When the little sparrow heard that it was time to go out and swim, it immediately became excited. It flapped its little wings and flew onto the nightingale's shoulder. It looked back at its master and chirped twice, as if to say, 'Hurry up, hurry up'.

Zhongli Jiujiu got tired of staying in the military camp, so she quickly got up, patted her skirt, and ran to Xu Buling.

Zhongli Chuchu put down the medicine grinder, with a slight hesitation in his green eyes.

In the days since he came with the army, Zhongli Chuchu already knew that master and apprentice Qingye and Yuhe had reached an agreement. If nothing else happened, both master and apprentice would marry Xu Buling.

In this way, Zhongli Jiujiu and the master and apprentice of the Ning family are Xu Buling's women, and Zhongli Chuchu seems to be the only outsider. The family goes out to relax, and it seems inappropriate to follow him...

Xu Buling stood at the door. Seeing that Chu Chu didn't move, he asked doubtfully: "Chu Chu?"

Zhongli Chuchu was in a daze. He wanted to say he was a little tired and not follow, but he felt it was too abrupt. After thinking about it, he got up and followed Jiujiu.

Xu Buling knew what Chu Chu was thinking and didn't say anything. He put Chu Chu into the carriage under an umbrella, then drove with Nightingale and quickly drove out of the military camp.

The building boat had arrived near Yueyang, but it was docked at a safe place in the rear. It was raining too hard to pick up the branches, so Ning Yuhe, who was very familiar with the place, could only lead the way.

Ning Yuhe and Ning Qingye had been in Yueyang for a long time and were familiar with the place. When they arrived in the city, they held umbrellas and walked ahead to lead the way, looking for more authentic restaurants and chatting about daily life.

The battle that lasted for more than half a year caused the number of Jianghu people around Yueyang to drop by 90%. Only soldiers and ordinary people were left on the streets. The few Jianghu people also hid in the dark anonymously. Most of the popular shops in the past were closed. , even those in Yueyang Tower went out of business.

After Ning Yuhe walked for a while, he remembered something and asked, "Ling'er, how is that ghost empress?"

Xu Buling watched as he walked. He shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "I followed him and ran to a small county in the south of the Yangtze River to settle down. Nothing happened. I left him alone after that. He probably thought the locking dragon Gu was real. Waiting at home." Die. But one year is almost here, and I probably understand that the poison is fake. Let’s wait until we reach Jiangnan to see if it can be used.”

Zhongli Jiujiu walked in front of the two of them, looked back, and saw Chu Chu walking alone at the back holding an umbrella. Zhongli Jiujiu slowed down, shoulder to shoulder with Chu Chu, and raised her finger to Yueyang Tower:

"Chu Chu, you became the Bakui there. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard Manzhi talk about it. It was a sensation at the time..."

Zhongli Chuchu was not interested in this at all, and raised her chin: "Master, please accompany your husband, I will go shopping by myself."

Zhongli Jiujiu didn't have the nerve to run to her husband and treat her gently but ignored Chu Chu. Instead, she walked silently beside Chu Chu, talking about some trivial things.

It was raining heavily, and although the scenery of Dongting Lake was nice, there was really nothing to see on the street.

Xu Buring found an open small restaurant on the street, and several people sat together to eat autumn crabs. Although it was a bit boring without the pistachio branches, the atmosphere was quite warm.

However, this family reunion atmosphere was obviously not very pleasant for Zhongli Chuchu, who always felt like an outsider.

Zhongli Chuchu sat at the table for a while, drank two glasses of wine, and then stood at the door of the shop in the name of sobering up, staring at the rain curtain in a daze.

The autumn rain continued, and it was night again. There were no pedestrians on the small street, and only a few voices came from a few shops on the street.

Zhongli Chuchu leaned against the door, occasionally tilting her head to look at the family inside from the window, her eyes turned around, but she didn't know what her mood was. In a trance, she remembered Ning Yuhe's words, "When the time comes, we will bring the children and Xu Buling to see you together." Judging from the current situation, if it continues, it will probably become like this.

But Ning Qingye can share a husband with her master, but Zhongli Chuchu is not so easy to accept.

Zhongli Chuchu really regarded her master as her mother. Her master was the most important person to her since she was a child. She had already decided to give in to her master. What excuse could she use to convince herself to share a man with her master...

While she was thinking about it, the rain was a little lighter, and the noise on the street was clearer.

Zhongli Chuchu was staring at the lanterns outside the tavern in a daze. Faintly, a conversation in the distance caught her attention:

"Dad, this wine is really good..."

"Yes, it's much better than our little place..."

The conversation was very plain, just an ordinary father-son chat, but the person who spoke was not using Dayue's elegant language, but a rather obscure dialect, to be precise, the dialect of Nanyue.

Nanyue is full of mountains and ridges. "Different accents every ten miles" is not just a casual saying. Maybe after crossing a few mountains and running to another village, the accent will not be understood.

Zhongli Chuchu followed her master since she was young, running around in the mountain villages of Nanyue to practice medicine, and then followed the Jianghu people of Nanyue. She was familiar with the accents of various places in Nanyue. She could tell that this was the dialect of Liuzhou, near Feishuiling where she grew up.

It goes without saying how familiar it is to suddenly hear the local accent in a foreign land.

Zhongli Chuchu was stunned for a moment, thinking for a moment, and wanted to go and see alone, but was afraid of getting in trouble, so he turned back and said:

"Mr. Xu, come out for a moment."

In the tavern, Xu Buling was drinking and chatting with his wives. He had already noticed that Chuchu was alone at the door, and was thinking about how to go out to accompany her. When he heard this, he naturally stood up and came to the outside of the tavern, smiling and asking:

"Chuchu, what's wrong?"

Zhongli Chuchu raised her hand and pointed to the small tavern in the distance:

"There are a few people from South Vietnam over there, and they seem to have our accent. I want to go over and say hello."

Xu Buling looked up, not knowing the specific situation, so he picked up the oil-paper umbrella from the door and opened it: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

Zhongli Chuchu had planned to do so, so she didn't refuse, and walked into the rain with Xu Buling...
