Xu Junze also received the news that Lin Shuran was looking for a woman out of the city, so he waited for her to meet together, and then the husband and wife continued to search for Xu Manman's whereabouts.

At the same time, the two received a secret letter from Huo Yang, the owner of Xuanqing Villa, saying that when he returned to Beijing some time ago, he told Xu Manman some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes to several children in the General's Mansion, and told them about the martial arts conference.

He heard that Xu Manman ran away from home, and wondered if this little girl was going to the martial arts conference, and at the end of the letter, he also said that this year's martial arts conference would be held in Biyue Villa, Southeast County.

"I think there is a good chance that this girl went to Southeast County!" Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Lin Shuran already felt that her daughter was very strange to run away from home this time, she was afraid that she had already saved the idea of leaving the capital, and she was really bold at a young age.

Xu Junze also felt that there was a possibility, because according to the news found by Uncle Chu, it was suspected that Xu Manman's child was going in the direction of Suzhou and Southeast County.

It's just that Xu Junze and Lin Shuran both underestimated Xu Manman's ability to hide from people, they sent a lot of people out to look for her, but they lost her trace every time they were about to find her, and what was certain was that Xu Manman was indeed going to Southeast County.

At night that day, Xu Junze and Lin Shuran stayed temporarily in an inn fifty miles outside Suzhou City, planning to enter the city early tomorrow morning, just three days ago, Jin Liu, who had been managing the shop in Suzhou, sent them a message, saying that Xu Manman entered the shop and took the silver and left a note, and the next stop should be to Qingzhou, Jin Liu has informed the shopkeeper of the Xu family shop in Qingzhou City in advance, and this time he has to think of keeping Xu Manman, the eldest lady, no matter what.

In the inn, Lin Shuran ate a few bites of food at will, her face was full of worry, she didn't expect that among the dozen children, her daughter Xu Manman was the one who could toss the most, thinking of Xu Minghao and others when she was a child, it was really a little trivial compared to her.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine!" Xu Manman was able to play "hide and seek" with them all the way from the capital to Suzhou safely, which shows the intelligence and courage of his daughter, this little girl is the same as her mother, as long as it is what she wants to do, she will definitely try her best to complete it.

Lin Shuran sighed, looked at the dark night outside, and said, "How can I not be worried, no matter how I say it, she is only eight years old, and don't you think it's strange?" We obviously sent a master secret guard to her, but she actually threw people away, when did she have such a great ability! ”

Xu Junze pulled Lin Shuran to sit down on the chair, looked into her worried eyes and said, "I also don't think she has such a great ability, so I suspect that someone behind this is helping her, otherwise, with her ability, there is no reason to avoid so many of us!" ”

Lin Shuran's eyes lit up, she also thought so, because they used all the available power to find Xu Manman, from the court to the rivers and lakes, they were looking for Xu Manman, but they were still dodged by Xu Manman several times, saying that no one helped her, which was really unbelievable.

"And who do you think it will be?" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Junze expectantly, hoping that Xu Junze could give her a definite answer.

Xu Junze slowly straightened up, thought about it seriously, and then said, "How long have we not seen Fifth Uncle and Honggu?" ”

"Five years!" Lin Shuran replied, and at the same time stood up in shock, "You mean that it is the fifth uncle and Honggu who are full of help?" ”

Five years ago, Fifth Uncle Dongfang Ji took Honggu back to the mountains and forests, and he didn't have any contact with them for five years, how could Xu Junze guess that it was them?

Seeing Lin Shuran's doubts, Xu Junze explained: "I'm not sure it's them, it's just that the people who helped Man Man leave Beijing at the beginning were the people of Beiqiao Yaxing, and there must be unknown people from the rivers and lakes guarding her everywhere she goes, and Huo Yang's people also found that these people are more or less related to the people of Sword Casting Villa back then, so I wonder if the fifth uncle is secretly helping Man Man, so that she can go all the way to Southeast County safely." ”

"If you say this, I think it's also possible, in the past five years, although the fifth uncle and Honggu have not been in contact with the two of us, I know that in private they give gifts to Manman every year, and Honggu's most painful thing is Manman!" Lin Shuran knew Honggu's feelings for her daughter Xu Manman, if it weren't for taking care of the fifth uncle, Honggu might have stayed by Xu Manman's side to watch her grow up.

Especially now that Xu Manman has grown up, the outline of her appearance has begun to become clearer and clearer, according to the Queen Mother, she and her own grandmother Princess Fengrong look almost identical, and even that character has begun to show the same, who would have thought that as a royal princess, Princess Fengrong also ran away from home when she was six or seven years old because she longed for life outside the palace, and later her father-in-law Gao Lun found her back, but at that time, Princess Fengrong had been playing crazy outside for two months, and no one found where she was.

However, everything is Xu Junze and Lin Shuran's speculation, whether Xu Manman has anyone behind her to help her is not easy to say, whether this person is the fifth uncle and Honggu, or she should be found as soon as possible.

The next day, the two entered Suzhou City, and when Lin Shuran saw the gate of Suzhou City, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, which reminded her of Xu Mingyuan, the fifth elder of the Xu family, who still had no whereabouts.

Now a few years have passed, Xu Mingyuan's jade plate is still treasured by her, she is still unwilling to admit that he is not in the world, these years the Xu family has not given up looking for Xu Mingyuan, the Mingyuan wine in the Xu family shop is already well known, even the story about this wine has been spread to the country children, she believes that as long as Xu Mingyuan is still alive, he will definitely feel that his family misses him.

"Let's go!" The faint sadness on Lin Shuran's body also made Xu Junze look sideways, these children of the Xu family have exhausted Lin Shuran a lot of energy over the years, and she has been thinking about the missing old five, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve when eating reunion dinner, the dinner table will specially leave a pair of chopsticks for the old five, even to prepare clothes for the children for the four seasons, she has not forgotten Xu Mingyuan.

The two didn't stay long in Suzhou City and rushed to the next capital city, Qingzhou, because the shopkeeper of the Xu family shop in Qingzhou City sent the news quickly, saying that the token of the Xu family shop was found in Qingzhou City.

Lin Shuran thinks that it must be his daughter Xu Manman who arrived in Qingzhou, because Xu Manman once asked Xu Minghan to ask for the token of the Xu family's shop, and Xu Minghan, who favored the sister, gave it to her, and has not taken it back, the seventh and eighth have not gotten the token after grinding Xu Minghan for a long time, this token to any Xu family shop is like the owner of the house, Xu Manman is not worried about eating and drinking all the way, but I heard that she let people pull away two carts of Mingyuan wine in the Qingzhou shop this time, what does she want so much wine for?
