After the vegetarian feast, everyone listened to the two hours of the monk to open the altar to preach, and so on the return carriage, it was already the evening of the sunset, the autumn sunset was magnificent, Lin Shuran had no intention of appreciating, she held the Buddha beads in her left hand, and the black token in her right hand, and the whole person fell into contemplation.

Xu Junze was riding in the same carriage with her at this time, and seeing that she seemed to be very embarrassed by the gifts given by the two masters, he looked at her and said, "Just give it to you and take it, you don't have to have any burden!" ”

Lin Shuran exhaled lightly, looked at him and said: "If you want to say that there is no burden at all, it is impossible, the status of the two masters is so high, but neither of them gave gifts, but they all gave me one, I am just a woman in the back house, where is it worthy of their so much attention." ”

"Don't be presumptuous, you are worthy of all the good things in this world, I can only say that the two masters have vision, just like me, they can see your specialness." Xu Junze felt that he said this, and then he was embarrassed again, and pretended to be calm and straightened his posture and looked ahead.

Lin Shuran was amused by him, knowing that he was upright and resolute, but he didn't expect that the words he said inadvertently could also make people blush and heartbeat, and he could see that he was shy, so Lin Shuran deliberately approached him, looked up into his eyes and said, "So you think I'm very special, what's so special?" What's in particular? Isn't it particularly gentle, cute and beautiful and generous? ”

Xu Junze's jaw tightened, and then he nodded under Lin Shuran's gaze, which made Lin Shuran embarrassed, and withdrew his body with a smile.

She held up two things and looked at them carefully, this Buddha bead didn't look good, but this black token was quite strange, she asked Xu Junze curiously: "Do you know what this black brand is for?" ”

Xu Junze glanced at the wooden sign in Lin Shuran's hand and said to her: "This is called the Black Water Token, which was issued by the old gang leader of the Xuanqing Gang, the largest gang in the rivers and lakes decades ago. ”

Then, Xu Junze told Lin Shuran that the Xuanqing Gang has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, with a history of hundreds of years, and the gang is all over the world, and the masters in the gang are like clouds, there are many skilled craftsmen, many chivalrous things, and fight for the poor people.

It's just that thirty years ago, there was a civil strife in the Xuanqing Gang, and there were many casualties in the gang overnight, the old gang leader died tragically, and his disciples died, injured, and walked, and since then the Xuanqing Gang has declined, and now only Xuanqing Villa is still supporting the façade.

"There are three Blackwater tokens, one is in the hands of Huo Yang, the current owner of Xuanqing Mountain Villa, and one is in the hands of the head of the Liu family in Xishu, and the last one has been missing, but I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the old man in Hutan, and now you are its owner!" The reason why Xu Junze knew so clearly about the affairs of the Xuanqing Gang was because when he was young, he was taken by his master to live there for a period of time.

After listening to Xu Junze's words, Lin Shuran felt that the brand in his hand was hot, it turned out that it was not a strange character, but a representative of the waterway, and the old man of this pot was too generous, and he actually gave her such a valuable thing to a little woman.

"I didn't expect this black card to have such a special meaning and function, and it was a bit overkill for me, or you can take it? You're better than I can do! Lin Shuran handed the Blackwater token to Xu Junze.

But Xu Junze didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but looked at her and said: "This is given to you by someone else, you still have to keep it, although the prestige of the Xuanqing Gang is no longer prestigious, but the people on the rivers and lakes look at the face of the old gang leader, this token is still very useful." ”

But she usually doesn't go out of the door, what do you want this token to do with the waterway, but Xu Junze doesn't want to ask for it, so she will keep it for herself first, who knows if it can really be used in the future.

As soon as the carriage of the two arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw the housekeeper Xu An hurriedly walking down the steps and said to the two people who got off the carriage: "General, madam, the third young master seems to have run away from home!" ”

"What's going on?" Xu Junze's face turned cold, and Lin Shuran was also confused, what is "like" to run away from home?

At this time, Xu An hurriedly explained, saying that after the two entered the palace, the young masters in the house were busy with their own things, and the third young master went out after finishing his homework, saying that he had made an appointment with a friend to play.

When it was close to noon, he followed Xu Minghan's attendants and family members back to the house first, saying that the third young master asked them to go back to the house together to get things, and then Xu Minghan's secret guard also went back to the house to find Xu Mingchen and gave him a letter, saying that the third young master specially ordered it to be given to him.

Who knew that Xu Mingchen opened the envelope, and only five words were written on it - "I'm leaving, don't look for it!" "When the attendants, family members, and secret guards went back to find Xu Minghan, he was gone.

"A few young masters have gone out to look for them, and they haven't come back yet, you and your wife are in the palace again, and the slaves can't be contacted!" Xu An felt that he was not doing well, and his face was full of self-blame.

Xu Junze immediately turned his pace, letting Lin Shuran wait at home with peace of mind, and he went to dispatch people to find it.

How could Lin Shuran sit still, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, don't Xu Minghan didn't find it, and lost a few more, she asked Xu An to send some people out to call Xu Mingchen and them, who were looking for someone, back.

After more than half an hour, Xu Mingchen and the others returned home one after another, and several people went to some places where Xu Minghan frequented, but they didn't find anyone.

"It's so late, where can he go? Do you know if he has any good friends in the capital? Lin Shuran asked the back kitchen to prepare food and drink for Xu Mingchen and them, and after going out to find people for a long time, several of them were also tired.

Xu Mingchen shook his head and said with some guilt: "Third brother, he usually doesn't like to go out very much, and he often plays with us, I haven't seen him have a good time with anyone, I don't know why he suddenly ran away from home!" ”

"The third brother has been a little weird lately, he used to like to knock on my brain when he had nothing to do, but recently he doesn't knock me much anymore, and he will take out anything delicious, drunk and fun, as if he is going to go far away." Xu Minghao thinks about it now, Xu Minghan's running away from home is not without signs at all, it's just that he didn't think about it in that way, after all, they are fatherless and motherless, where else can they go if they leave the General's Mansion.

Lin Shuran also blamed herself in her heart, if she paid more attention to Xu Minghan, she might be able to find out his abnormality, but she was afraid that excessive attention would make that child think more, compared to Xu Mingchen and them, she always felt that Xu Minghan was more sensitive to this child.
