The prince is very fierce

Chapter 9: Leading a rookie to rank high

Boom--boom--

The next day, the morning bell rang throughout Chang'an, and the sound of reading rang out in the various buildings of the Imperial College as always.

Song Yufu's eyes were red, and she was walking back and forth in Wenquyuan with books, reading the classics that she had already learned by heart. The school was still not full of princes and nobles, and most of them were dozing off. The students who really followed the reading were Very rarely.

Her father, the great wine-gatherer, was already so angry with these rotten trees that he couldn't come to give lectures. Despite her gentle temper, she was gradually helpless. I haven't been able to sleep well in the past few days. Occasionally I feel tired, and I can only pinch my leg lightly to stay awake.

Thinking of what she had experienced these past few days, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

I went to the Bell and Drum Tower that night. I wanted to talk to Prince Xu about the rules of scholars, but it turned out that he was hanging on the Bell and Drum Tower to scare her so much that she couldn't recover for several days.

Even if she was forced to copy the "Xue Ji", she wrote the whole article seriously and silently in the freezing Bell and Drum Tower. Only then did Prince Xu, who was sitting next to him drinking, speak:

"The handwriting is wrong, copy my handwriting and rewrite it."

Isn’t this bullying?

She was so angry that she threw down her pen, only to be hanged on the Bell and Drum Tower again...

Song Yufu's face was stained with a hint of shame and anger.

Later, when I was writing about Kuaizi, my wrists were sore that Prince Xu was willing to let her go. I wanted to hide away and let Prince Xu write the rest, but he didn't expect Prince Xu to say another sentence:

"Be there on time tomorrow night, otherwise the entire Imperial College will know about you copying books for me."

well……

She is the legitimate son of a king with a different surname, so she doesn't care about these reputations. She was born into a scholarly family, and her father and elder brothers are all famous scholars. How can she spread such a thing to the public? She can only go to the Bell and Drum Tower on time at dusk, and it will be midnight as soon as she writes it. .

After seven days, she was very sleepy, but Prince Xu sat next to her and drank for seven days. Thinking about it made her feel aggrieved...

Song Yufu was thinking wildly, and before she knew it, the whispers of several princes' sons suddenly reached her ears:

"Xiao Ting, why don't you stare at Miss Song's back? You looked at it with gusto last time..."

Song Yufu suddenly came back to her senses and frowned slightly. It was hard for her to scold him because he was the son of a prince, so she calmly wanted to leave. Just as he took a step forward, he heard Xiao Ting's voice:

"Don't talk nonsense, a gentleman will not bully the darkroom."

"Tch~ Do you still know that 'a gentleman will not deceive the darkroom'? You were almost crying last time. If Xu Bu Ling hadn't woken you up, you might have done something..."

"How could I, Xiao Ting, be such a dirty person..."

"Come on, no one here is a good person, who are you pretending to be a gentleman for? Xu Buling didn't come today. If you want to be more generous, just..."

"What should I do if that alcoholic lunatic suddenly comes back..."

"Oh~ It turns out that Mr. Xiao is afraid of this..."

"Bah - just die..."

"Hahaha……"

Song Yufu heard these conversations and froze on the spot holding the poem book.

Prince Xu... did he beat Xiao Ting because of Xiao Ting's rude look?

Thinking of this, Song Yufu suddenly realized! It turns out that Prince Xu is not domineering, but a gentleman who does not value false reputation!

Thinking back to that night when I ran to scold Prince Xu for hurting someone for no reason...

Song Yufu walked back and forth several times, her eyes slowly showing a bit of shame...

The warm winter sun shines on Zhuque Street, with busy traffic on both sides of the street. The temples and Taoist temples next to the street are full of incense. From time to time, there are officials and ladies driving and traveling in sedans, and there are also business travelers who have traveled long distances to look around. It looks like a prosperous time. .

Xu Buling drove his horse through Zhuque Street and arrived outside Yongningfang. The bells and drums chiming the time rang on the watchtower on time.

Chen hour and three quarters, not bad.

"Master Xu!"

The horse stopped, and Zhu Manzhi ran over to salute with joy, holding a small purse in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Yesterday, the three young men were habitual offenders. They hurt many brothers. The Yamen rewarded us thirty taels of silver. This credit belongs to the young master, and it all belongs to you."

Xu Buling got off the horse, did not reach out to pick it up, and led the horse towards the street, tilting his head and looking at it a few times:

"What job did you take?"

When Zhu Manzhi heard this, he became energetic. He took out the "Wuchangbo" from his arms, flipped through a few pages, and pointed to the lines of writing on it:

"With Mr. Xu's help, I specially picked a few difficult jobs. No one in the entire Dizi Camp was willing to take them. The reward is quite high..."

"Okay, let's go."

"Have Mr. Xu eaten in the morning?"

"..."

A moment later, at a stall on the roadside of the market, two bowls of mutton in a basin were placed on the table, steaming hot and fragrant.

Zhu Manzhi sat at the small table with chopsticks in his hand and said proudly:

"My treat is a double portion of mutton. If there's not enough, I'll add more."

Xu Bu Ling shook his head and chuckled, put the long sword on the table, and began to feast.

Zhu Manzhi lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, keeping his eyes on Xu Buling opposite him. Perhaps he was a little nervous. He glanced left and right, his eyes on the long sword on the table, and he smiled and had nothing to say:

"Mr. Xu, what's the name of your sword?"

"Take courage."

"Zhao Dan... I seem to have heard of it somewhere... My father also uses a sword and taught me how to use it. Unfortunately, my father is not very good at using it. I only know one move..."

"Yeah..."

Whispering...

As the sun rises, the streets become busier and busier.

Two empty large bowls were placed on the small table. Zhu Manzhi stood up and patted his stomach. A layer of fragrant sweat appeared on his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it. When he saw Xu Buling took the wine bottle from the carriage and took a sip, he chuckled. road:

"Prince Xu, drinking alcohol early in the morning will hurt your health."

"Not drinking will kill you."

"Oh... Prince Xu is still a drinker. I also like to drink. I like the Duanyu Shao from Sunjia Shop in Dayefang the most. It's so strong..."

Xu Buling held the reins and turned around the busy street into the alley. He tilted his head helplessly:

"Miss Zhu, you talk a bit too much."

"Really? I...then I won't speak..."

"Let's get down to business."

"Oh... there is a 'Zheng Sandao' in the West City. He is a local snake in the West City. I heard that he owns two gambling houses. Unfortunately, there are no clues. His ears and eyes are very good and he ran away as soon as he was there..."

--------

"Tanghulu——"

"Buying coal——"

"You fucking——"

It is noisy and noisy. Near the watchtower in the west market of Chang'an City, a group of houses are built here. Merchants and vendors in the market often spend time here. Gambling houses and hook bars are one after another.

In a courtyard, the master was counting the money collected last night. Zheng Sandao was sitting at the table, wiping a knife in his hand with a white cloth. The blade was covered with traces of time. He had followed him for as long as he had wandered into the world. .

The gambling room next door was noisy, and from time to time, a man who had lost all his pants was thrown out and left with curses and spit.

"You guys are betting on dogs. If you can win money, I will go drink the northwest wind..."

Zheng Sandao cursed and wiped the knife for a moment. Suddenly Xiao Si ran into the courtyard and said, "Boss, a wolf guard has entered the West City and is coming this way."

"one?"

"There is also a rich man whose horses are expensive. He doesn't seem to be here to play in the autumn breeze. Boss, do you want to avoid him first?"

"No need to avoid it."

While speaking, a cold voice sounded from the courtyard door.

Zheng Sandao's expression suddenly changed. He stood up, held the handle of the knife and looked towards the courtyard door. He saw a tall young man in white striding in with a long sword in hand.

Behind him was a panting female wolf guard, her breasts trembling as she ran, following behind.

The thugs in the courtyard saw this and surrounded him with sticks.

Zheng Sandao stood up and walked down the steps, looked at it with tiger-like eyes, and then held the sword upside down and held it in his hand:

"Young master came to visit rashly, do you have something important to do?"

Xu Bu Ling kept walking and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand.

"Watch out!"

A pot exploded in the courtyard in an instant, and the minions with sticks looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Zheng Sandao held the sword in both hands and stood in front of him in a posture, his robes fluttered, and his momentum rose and the fierce light surged:

"Brother, don't toast or eat as a penalty..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a soft sound of "choking", the sharp blade was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.

clang--

Zheng Sandao hurriedly raised his sword to block, but he never expected that the sword in his hand would be cut into two sections.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Sandao was so frightened that he retreated hastily, but he couldn't avoid the sword edge piercing his throat.

At this critical moment of life and death, Zhu Manzhi flew out and hugged Xu Buling's arm tightly:

"Keep someone under the sword!"

Xu Bu Ling paused, pointed his sword at Zheng Sandao's throat, looked at his arm that was trapped between two limp balls, and frowned slightly: "Miss Zhu, what do you mean?"

Zhu Manzhi was panting, holding Xu Buling's arm, with a bitter look on his face: "Mr. Xu, if his crime is not worthy of death, why would you just kill someone?"

"yes!"

Zheng Sandao escaped from death with a pale face, sat down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice:

"I stole the concubine of the king's wife, and committed murder..."

"...?"

Xu Buling was speechless, took a breath, put away his sword and turned around to leave.

Zhu Manzhi immediately panicked, dragged Zheng Sandao up, caught up with Xu Buling, and said urgently:

"Mr. Xu, don't be angry. Members of the Wang family are offering a reward of two hundred taels of silver for his arrest. It's worth a lot of money..."

Xu Buling turned his head and said, "I'll ask you to take on a few big cases. You're going to waste my whole morning wandering around and come here to catch an adulterer. Is that interesting?"

Zhu Manzhi had a bitter look on his face and apologized: "I...I just came here and I can't take any big cases..."

Xu Buling thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If you want to enter the Tianzi Camp, these cats and dogs are not qualified to catch them for a lifetime. You have to catch powerful Jianghu people."

Zhu Manzhi grimaced, a little aggrieved: "We can't find the powerful Jianghu people in Chang'an City. The ones that are easy to catch have been snatched by others. Unless we investigate slowly by ourselves, where will the big case come from... …”

Zheng Sandao followed in fear. Hearing this, he quickly interrupted: "Master, I know a secret thing. It is definitely a great achievement. As long as you hold your hand high and don't drag me to see the official..."

Xu Buling's eyes were slightly cold: "Say."

Zheng Sandao opened his mouth, feeling that he was not qualified to negotiate, so he had to speak honestly:

"Many gamblers have disappeared in the city recently, and no one from the government is taking care of them. I heard that the younger one has something to do with the White Horse Village outside the city..."

Xu Buling frowned slightly, thought for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Get out of here."

"Thank you, Master!" Zheng Sandao looked overjoyed, turned around and ran away.

"Hey - stop!"

Zhu Manzhi finally caught a fat rabbit. When he saw it, he became anxious. He ran out and chased for two steps. He looked at Xu Buling next to him and his voice weakened again:

"That's two hundred taels of silver... my salary for three years..."

Xu Buling whistled to call the horse, then got on the horse: "Go check the matter of Baima Village, and go to the Ministry to find out if there are any gangsters entering the city recently... I'll give you seven days. Next time you come, you can take me with you to catch cats and dogs. I'll sell you to a brothel and make sure you can make endless money."

Zhu Manzhi shuddered and replied weakly: "Don't be so fierce. I'm a wolf guard. It's illegal to kidnap and sell you..."

"It's not illegal for me to kill people, so why should I sell a person?"

"If the emperor breaks the law, the common people will be guilty..."

"I'm not the emperor, nor am I a common person."

"Oh... I know."

Zhu Manzhi looked down weakly, watching Xu Buling galloping away on his horse, and quietly stuck out her tongue:

"You're so arrogant..."
