The prince is very fierce

The autumn wind swept across the river, causing ripples.

The building boat that had traveled countless thousands of miles back and forth in Dayue once again docked at the entrance of Dongting Lake.

On a stone by the lake, Zhu Manzhi held a fishing rod in both hands and carefully watched the fish floating on the water.

Song Yufu held a small bamboo basket and sat sideways in front of her, looking eagerly and saying with some suspicion:

"Manzhi, can you catch crabs like this? I heard from Sister Qiqi that my husband will be back today. I was thinking of steaming crabs for my husband. I was going to the market to buy them..."

Zhu Manzhi was full of confidence and patted her chest, which was bigger than Yufu:

"The crabs at the market are all leftover crabs, so they are not as delicious as those you catch yourself."

Song Yufu looked a little helpless and thought about it for a moment:

"Manzhi, you didn't come here to catch crabs because you don't know how to cook. You saw me preparing crabs for my husband, so you wanted to express your feelings together, right?"

Zhu Manzhi naturally thought so. She got a little closer and said seriously:

"Afu, both Daning and Xiaoning have rebelled. Now we are sisters who join forces to keep warm. Do you still mind this little thing? If you do, forget it. I will accompany you to the market to buy crabs now."

"Of course I don't mind, but..."

Song Yufu looked at the empty bamboo basket and felt a little worried:

"But if you want to advance and retreat together to express your feelings, you have to have crabs, right? We have been fishing for an hour... Huh? It's moving..."

While he was talking, the fish in the water moved twice, as if something was eating bait.

Zhu Manzhi immediately became energetic. He swung his fishing rod left and right and walked skillfully for a long time. Then he calmly put the rod away and pulled up a fat and big... turtle from the lake.

Zhu Manzhi's happy expression froze, he picked up the big turtle and looked at it, but he was reluctant to throw it away, so he thought for a while and said:

"Afu, can you steam the tortoise?"

Song Yufu had a strange expression and hesitated for a moment: "Well... let's try it..."

On the deck of the building, Lu Hongluan held a small umbrella and waited for Xu Bu Ling to come back. When he saw two little girls worrying about the tortoise, he shook his head and chuckled, not knowing what to say.

Compared with the liveliness of the little girl, the back of the building boat seemed a bit quiet.

On the terrace behind the building, two pots of golden chrysanthemums planted in spring bloomed brilliantly in the morning sun.

Cui Xiaowan sat back on the lounge chair, but her eyes were not on the flowers. Instead, she looked up at the clouds in the sky, lost in thought.

When we left Peach Blossom Valley, the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and the sky and the earth were white.

She took an old man and a dog with her, leaving three lines of feet on the snow, and walked two thousand miles.

When she arrived at her destination, spring was blooming, and she saw her favorite scenery and the most interesting people in her life.

At that time, I thought that I would live in that big sea of ​​flowers for the rest of my life, plant all the flowers, and have no other pursuits for the rest of my life.

But not long after living there, I found that the flowers and plants that I once used as sustenance had turned into ordinary flowers and plants. No matter how many and beautiful they were planted, what would happen?

Then he left again.

She set out when spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, and went to many places she had visited before. During the heavy rain in midsummer, she returned to the city of Chang'an, which she used as a birdcage.

However, when I arrived in Chang'an this time, I didn't feel as depressed as when I entered Chang'an in a sedan chair for the first time. On the contrary, I was quite happy.

After thinking about it, maybe it's because the place I went to is the same, but the people around me are different.

In the blink of an eye, it's autumn again, and spring, summer, autumn, and winter alternate as in previous years. But this time, it seems that I have experienced more things than in the previous twenty years combined.

But when I recall it carefully, I can't remember anything. It seems that there is only a man's smile...

Under the autumn sun, Cui Xiaowan was just like in Peach Blossom Valley, leaning on the lounge chair and looking at the clouds, but her heart was not as peaceful as in previous years. It seemed that something was stuck in her heart, which she couldn't see or touch, but it made her feel restless. , having trouble sleeping and eating...

In the room behind the terrace, Xiao Xiang'er was playing with small objects at the table. In his spare time, he turned his head and looked at the terrace outside the window. There was a hint of worry in his apricot eyes.

Since leaving Xiliang and boarding the building boat, Cui Xiaowan and Xiao Xiang'er have lived together, and half a year has passed in a flash.

After getting along day and night, Xiao Xiang'er could certainly feel the changes in Cui Xiaowan.

At first, just like in the palace, he didn't care about anything and just liked to do his own thing. Later, he gradually started to be alone in a daze. Every time Xu Buling came back, the number of dazes would increase.

Until the last time she came back from Chang'an City, Cui Xiaowan would stare at the sky blankly like this almost every day, not knowing what she was thinking.

Before Xu Buling left last time, he told her privately that he wanted her to spend more time with Cui Xiaowan. Cui Xiaowan liked to live alone and not communicate with others. She had nothing to do on the boat. Being alone in the house was like being in confinement. If you hold it in, you will get sick sooner or later.

Xiao Xiang'er kept these words in mind and wanted to spend more time with her nominal daughter-in-law, not even playing mahjong. But even if she stays by Xiaowan's side, what can she do with her?

Besides growing flowers, Xiaowan just likes to listen to stories. No matter how many stories Xiao Xiang'er has in her belly, there will be a time when she has finished telling them, so she can't make them up now. Moreover, Xiaowan seems to have no interest in growing flowers now, and doesn't even care about watering them every day. If she hadn't taken care of them on time every day, the two pots of flowers would have died long ago.

Cui Xiaowan was sitting on the recliner, motionless, looking very peaceful. But this kind of lifeless tranquility made Xiao Xiang'er even more worried. He just looked over and said that there was nothing wrong with a dead person lying on the terrace.

Xiao Xiang'er looked at it for a moment, really afraid that Cui Xiaowan would just lie on the chair and close her eyes. After thinking about it, she picked up the small watering pot, walked to the terrace, and turned her head to look.

Cui Xiaowan's eyes moved slightly, and she turned to look at Xiao Xiang'er next to her:

"Mother."

After saying hello, there was nothing more to say.

Xiao Xiang'er saw that there was nothing unusual about Cui Xiaowan, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile on her face, she watered the two flowerpots and said casually:

"Xiaowan, your anus is so beautiful."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiang'er thought of something and secretly cursed Xu Buling, and his posture was a bit unnatural.

Cui Xiaowan tapped her toes, and the recliner began to shake. She looked at the two pots of gorgeous flowers and nodded gently:

"Yes, my mother likes it so much. Maybe if Bu Ling sees it, she should also like it very much."

That's, that's what he likes...

Xiao Xiang'er pursed her lips, feeling that the topic was a bit crooked, so she skipped it, sat down on the recliner next to her, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Wan, do you want to agree or not?"

Cui Xiaowan's expression didn't change much, and she nodded seriously: "I must think so. The Queen Mother knows those stories by heart, and he knows more."

Xiao Xiang'er was slightly dissatisfied, raised her hand and poked Cui Xiaowan on the shoulder, jokingly:

"If you dislike me, you will gain less. After telling the story, it is useless, so you start to miss others?"

"How could it be?"

Cui Xiaowan smiled and stopped thinking about those messy things. Instead, she lay on the armrest and said crisply:

"Mother, let me tell you. He told me a lot."

Seeing that Xiaowan was more lively, Xiao Xiang'er nodded naturally: "Okay, but I have basically heard all his jokes about coaxing girls."

"Not necessarily. Has he ever told you about Lao Ai? What he did is similar to him..."

"..." ——

Xu Bu ordered his horse to gallop, and at noon, he arrived at the shore where the boat docked.

Zhongli Jiujiu sat behind, holding Xu Buling's waist, and kept talking about the village along the way, obviously really anxious.

After all, she was his own daughter-in-law. Xu Bu Ling felt a little distressed. She comforted her softly, got off her horse and walked quickly towards the ship.

Looking up, Xiaowan and Xiang'er were sitting on the deck chairs on the terrace talking. Inside the cabin, Aunt Lu's voice could be heard faintly:

"The bastard is not so steamy, alas... I'll do it..."

Xu Buling was a little confused, but he had something going on and it was not good to run to find out what was going on right now. He took Zhongli Jiujiu to the second floor of the building.

There are mountains of cases in the study room on the second floor of the building. Xiao Qi is sitting among the sea of ​​books and has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Xu Buling and Zhongli Jiujiu walking in, Xiao Qi didn't say much, she stood up and said:

"Ms. sir, things in South Vietnam are a bit strange."

Xu Buling closed the door. Before he could speak, Zhongli Jiujiu, who had been worrying about his hometown, said nervously:

"Sister Qiqi, what's wrong? How is the village?"

Xiao Qi stood up and sat down next to Ruantan: "I sent people to inquire last night, and I found that anyone who escaped from Liuzhou basically knew about Feishuiling Village. It was said that the imperial court was arresting young men. There was a disaster, but other villages sent out people to fight in accordance with the rules. Only the village where Jiujiu and Chu Chu were located was cleared. The people were only taken away during the clearing, especially a few famous old people in the village, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Chu Chu is the eighth leader of the contemporary generation and has a great reputation in the world. He has had contact with Xianggong in Hongshan Lake and Youzhou in the past. Anyone who wants to inquire will definitely know that Chu Chu is with Xianggong.

My husband, do you think there might be someone deliberately spreading news in the dark to lure you or Jiujiu and Chuchu to South Vietnam? "

When Zhongli Jiujiu heard this, he thought it made sense at first, but after thinking about it carefully he shook his head:

"This is impossible. There are only a few hundred people in the village, and they are from South Vietnam. No matter how kind my husband is to me and Chu Chu, he can't handle such a small matter personally. He can just send two experts there."

Xu Buling also felt it was a bit far-fetched. Liuzhou is thousands of miles away, so going to dinner yesterday was an impromptu decision. Meeting Dong Qing was even more coincidental. It was impossible for anyone to make arrangements in advance.

And why would a small village in South Vietnam lure him, an invincible evil star, to there? Luring the wolf into the house?

However, conspiracy and calculation can only work wonders in places where normal people would not think of it, or would not pay attention to it even if they think of it.

If something happens to the village in South Vietnam, Jiujiu is obviously very anxious and will definitely run back to take a look. If someone kidnaps Jiujiu or Chuchu intentionally or not, that can threaten him.

Xu Buling thought for a moment and then his face darkened: "It's not impossible. Who is so bold as to try to hit me on the head?"

Xiao Qi shook her head: "I'm just guessing, it may not be true, but there must be a monster when something goes wrong, so you have to pay attention. When your husband goes to South Vietnam, you should pay more attention."

Zhongli Jiujiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Since you think there may be an ambush, why would you ask your husband to go there in person? Just send a few experts back to take a look. You can't jump into the trap."

Xiao Qi's face was serious: "The four kings across Jiangping will have to start spring as soon as possible. The Xiliang army will go south from Yueyang and go to Liuzhou for up to twenty days. It would be good to take this opportunity to wake up South Vietnam. My husband will take Jiujiu to South Vietnam to have a look. , and then 'disappeared'. I asked the Xiliang army to follow, and when the time comes, we will go in to find people. If South Vietnam dares to stop them, we can just start fighting..."? ? ?

Xu Buling blinked his eyes and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. After all, Nanyue will be attacked sooner or later, and it is not a particularly important place. Since the army is idle, it is no problem to accompany my wife back to her parents' home and destroy it.

Zhongli Jiujiu was a little confused and whispered: "Sister Qiqi, there is something wrong in the village, why did you suddenly attack Nanyue? There is no need to make such a big fuss for me, right?"

Xiao Qi smiled: "It's just on the way. Since the elders and villagers in the village have something wrong, you and your husband will go back to see first. I will let Yang Zunyi lead 20,000 Xiliang troops to set off later. The marching speed of the large group is definitely not as fast as yours, so you should not take it lightly."

Xu Buling considered it and felt that there was no problem, so he didn't say more... ——

The status has been up and down recently, and there are a few updates, so I won't ask for votes o!
