"By the way, did Xu Heng go back to the palace today?"

After walking in the imperial city for a long time, Xu Jing suddenly remembered his second son who went to travel the rivers and lakes. [Latest chapter reading.]

Half a month ago, Xu Heng had sent a letter to the palace, saying that he would be able to return to Beijing in a few days, and the agreed date would arrive a few days ago, but he had not yet arrived. So after the date passed, Xu Jing, who was anxious about his thoughts, always had to ask several times a day to stop in addition to his busy official duties every day.

This is the fourth time today, Xu Jing was already hopeless, but the old servant said a surprise: "Master, Young Master Heng arrived safely in Jingcheng this evening and has entered the palace." ”

"What?" Xu Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, turned his head and said happily, "Heng'er is back?" ”

Today, the prince couldn't help but be happy: "Do we want to go back to the house to see Heng'er?" After speaking, without waiting for the old servant to answer, he realized that something was wrong again, and denied himself: "No, it's too late now, they are all asleep." ”

"Oh, Lao Fu, why didn't you tell me earlier?!I'll go back to see him!" There is no way to see the second son who has been out for a long time right away, Xu Jing is a little excited, but it is always a good thing to come back safely, so he said softly to the old servant with joy.

Of course, the old man who has followed King Qi all his life can distinguish the master's words, whether to blame or say casually. What's more, there are better excuses this time.

Xu Chengfu lowered his head slightly, and said calmly: "When the message came, the eldest young master once instructed the old servant to say two sentences, saying that if he told the master about this at that time, the master would definitely delay his official duties because of his love for his son, and tomorrow it will be the court meeting where Emperor Wu came in person, so he let the old servant deliberately not say it, if the old man asked tonight, he would say it, and if he didn't ask, he would inform the master tomorrow after the court meeting." ”

There is also the second half of Xu Jin's words: If my father blames me, Uncle Fu will push me directly, and you don't have to be embarrassed by me.

But there are some things that are good to say just right, and it is not good to say unnecessary words.

Xu Jin is well aware of this, whether it is dealing with people or dealing with people, they will leave room for people and will not make people embarrassed. So although the relationship between Xu Chengfu and Jin Gongzi is not very close, if the other party asks for something, he will try his best to help.

And after Xu Jing listened to his eldest son's words, he was not very angry, but now he has no anger at all.

Xu Jing took two steps forward and sighed: "Heng'er has a temper like me, I can't say that I am in a hurry, but I am also a person who can't sit still, and always wants to go out to play around; ”

"Jin'er did the right thing about this, I blamed you for the mistake, Lao Fu. ”

Xu Chengfu bowed his head slightly, and he was also very happy to be praised by Jin Gongzi.

"By the way, master, the second young master brought back a lot of people this time. Thinking of this, Xu Chengfu frowned a little, in addition to the original three people, the second young master brought back two friends, who didn't know the root or the bottom, and even let them enter the palace directly, so that he could be busy for a while, "The second young master went out to the rivers and lakes, it was really a bit arbitrary." ”

"Ah, Lao Fu, you are eccentric~"

Xu Jing turned his head and said with a smile to the old servant, which made the latter a little embarrassed: "Where is the eccentricity, it is obviously the second young master......"

"It's partiality, Jin'er did things to help favoritism, Heng'er did something that wasn't wrong, you just blamed it on the side, this is not partiality. ”

Xu Chengfu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't be talkative. Although he was talking about him with a smile, the meaning was almost reproachful, Xu Chengfu suddenly realized that his words were indeed a little out of bounds, and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Alas, it's okay, you don't have to blame yourself, I'm just complaining a little," Xu Jing turned his head and continued to walk forward, "You are biased, I like Heng'er, one is partial and one is happy, the two brothers are just equal, and it's good." ”

After walking for a while, he remembered what the servant had just said: "By the way, you just said that Heng'er brought two more people back?"

"Yes, master," Xu Chengfu took a lot of effort to find out the news of the two people just now, which came in handy at this moment, "One is the boiling Bladeless Sword Master Pu Feng who has been uploaded by the rivers and lakes, he has recently practiced the Bladeless Heavy Sword Dacheng, and with the permission of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, he is going down the mountain to reopen the sect for the Bladeless Sword Sect." ”

"Oh, that little guy," Xu Jing knew that Xu Heng and Pu Feng had known each other, and for the major events that occurred in various places, the Jianghu Division would collect and summarize them, and regularly hand over the reports to the upper echelons who needed them, "It's not easy to defeat that kendo genius." ”

"Yes, the recent news about him is in Baihemen, Wuhua Mountain, Julu County, Pu Feng officially appeared in Baihemen, helping the orphans of the Jiang family stabilize the situation in Baihemen. ”

"White Crane Gate?" This sect is too small to be qualified to appear in the report to the crown prince, Xu Jing was stunned after hearing it, and he didn't know what kind of sect it was.

"It's a small sect in Wuhua Mountain, so it's not surprising that the master doesn't know. ”

"Okay, how could Pu Feng appear there?" Xu Jing asked casually, not caring much, what she was curious about was just the friends Xu Heng had made.

However, Xu Chengfu felt the need to tell his master about this matter: "The master of the White Crane Gate died violently on behalf of the master of the sect, and I suspect that this matter may be related to the ghost city of Xudu." ”

After a pause, he knew that the following sentence was the key to attracting the master's attention: "And Heng Gongzi is also involved." ”

Sure enough, Xu Jing heard that it was related to his son, and immediately became interested: "Ghost town in Xudu?"

"Yes, it might even have something to do with the Half-Demon Fairy. ”

"This kid!" Xu Jing, who heard his old friend's name, laughed and scolded, feeling a little crying and laughing, "It's really troublesome, where is the trouble, there is something to drill there, who is not good to provoke Lan Xihuang!"

Xu Chengfu was silent, he knew that the master was already concerned about this matter, and he didn't need to say anything more.

"Tomorrow night, I will compile a detailed information about Heng'er and them in Wuhua Mountain. ”

Xu Jing commanded lightly, and this matter is over temporarily.

Xu Chengfu nodded yes, kept this matter in his heart, and then told Xu Jing Xu Zhen's information. The latter was a little interested in this young man who was accepted as an apprentice by Xu Heng, but he just talked about it, and forgot about it later.

When passing by the Hanlin Academy, looking at the dark mansion of the Hanlin Academy, Xu Jing suddenly sighed: "Heng'er has come back safely, but unfortunately Chai Xing has never returned." Does Heng'er know about Chai Xing's violent death?" he looked at the housekeeper servant.

"Master, judging from the information that the second young master sent back through the Jianghu Division, he didn't tell the second young master about it, and the second young master didn't ask, the second young master shouldn't know. ”

"It's a pity. ”

Xu Jing sighed, thinking of that upright and high-spirited young man, a promising bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, with healthy parents and a virtuous wife and filial sons, but he died violently, which was really jealous of the talent.

The two walked silently through the silent mansion of the Hanlin Academy. After a while, the prince of the East Palace cautiously asked about another matter: "Are you sure? That little girl is a descendant of the Demon Doctor of the Ghost Valley?"

This matter was so important that he felt excited when he thought about it, and he even stopped and looked at the old servant with a nervous face. Worried about every word that came out of his mouth.
