Xu Fu said: "Madame and Qingju are now being escorted by Fang Chiyan and Fang Daxia, all the way to Beiping, and now they should have arrived in Shandong." ”

Xu Pu clasped his hands together and said, "Thank God, my mother is safe." Then he asked, "Uncle Fu, Master Akiki, why did you two come back here?"

Xu Fu and Monk Qiumu glanced at each other and said, "This matter is a long story. After the ship hit the reef that day, the young prince separated from us in order to save the little master. We drifted on the river with the hull of our boat, expecting to come back to look for you after the other shore. Unexpectedly, not long after drifting out, the overturned boat crashed into a rock in the middle of the river again, and was suddenly torn apart. ”

"We clung to the broken planks and drifted with the current, and finally drifted to shore with the current. The people of the Jinyi Guard, like us, were originally attached to the wrecked ship, and after the ship was smashed, they all disappeared, either drowned in the water or washed up on the other side by the water. I was worried about the safety of the young prince's father and son, and I wanted to search along the coast. Madame said that there were brocade guards here, and she was afraid that I would be in danger. In the end, we discussed and decided that Master Qiu Mu and I would search for the whereabouts of the young prince's father and son along the road, and Fang Daxia would continue to go north with his wife. ”

"The two of us have been searching along the river bank for five or six days, and we have never seen any trace of you. Little master, why are you the only one here?

When Xu Pu heard Xu Fu ask about his father, he couldn't help but feel sad, tears burst out of his eyes, and he choked up: "Daddy, I have been killed by Jinyiwei!"

When Xu Fu heard this, his face changed greatly: "What?!The young prince is dead?!"

Xu Pu nodded and briefly explained Xu Jizhong's death.

Akiki listened, clasped his hands together, and kept chanting the Buddha's name. Xu Fu fell to the ground on his knees, tears raining down, facing in the direction of Fengyang, kowtowing, and said: "It's all because the slaves are useless, and the young prince died young." The slave should die! the slave should die!" with a sentence of damn, he slammed it on the ground, knocked it twice, and blood was already flowing from his forehead.

Xu Pu hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and said, "Uncle Fu, don't be like this. It was Han Jinhu and Jinyiwei who killed Daddy, and it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself. ”

Xu Fu turned a deaf ear, just kept knocking and crying. Although Xu Pu wanted to stop it, he was too young to do anything at all.

At this moment, as soon as the door opened, the shopkeeper pushed the door and came in, holding refreshments in his hand. Seeing that the people in the house were crying and making trouble, he was stunned.

Qiu Mu went over, took the tray from the man's hand, and said, "You go, don't worry about things here." The man said yes and silently exited the room.

Qiu Mu put the tray on the table, grabbed Xu Fu's shoulder with his hand, and said, "Steward Xu, now that we are not out of danger, it is better to endure our grief for the time being, so as not to be noticed." ”

Hearing Qiu Mu say this, Xu Fu stopped, but his forehead was already blurred with flesh and blood.

Xu Pu took out a handkerchief, helped him wipe the bloodstains, and said, "Uncle Fu, why do you blame yourself so much and make yourself look like this?"

Xu Fu accepted the handkerchief and said, "Don't dare to bother the little master." He also said: "The old prince is kind to Xu Futian, but Xu Fu can't even protect his old man's heirs, and he really deserves death." From now on, the minions will guard the little young master day and night, and never let the little master have any accidents. ”

Monk Qiumu asked Xu Pu: "The young master was killed, how did the little master escape?"

Xu Pu was rescued by Cang Yunhai, and later met Fang Zhengkun.

Qiu Mu has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and has rich experience, Xu Fu is also from the rivers and lakes, and he is also familiar with all kinds of tricks in the rivers and lakes.

Qiu Mu said: "Now with the little master, is this Fang Zhengkun?"

Xu Pu nodded and said, "Chief Fang has something to go out, let me wait for him here." ”

Xu Fu said: "Little young master, this Fang Zhengkun has bad intentions, and he can't stay here for a long time." ”

Xu Pu said: "No, right? Chief Fang rescued me from the hands of the surnamed He first, and then I got sick, and he also helped me heal." ”

Xu Fu said: "If he really has any good intentions, why did he just take you away, but didn't care about Cang Daxia? If he really had the heart to save you, why didn't he just kill that person surnamed He?"

Qiu Mu also said: "The name of this Fang Zhengkun has also been heard by poor monks in the rivers and lakes. This person is known as the Golden Ding Immortal, obsessed with alchemy, but rarely participates in the battles on the rivers and lakes. However, this person's senior brother is Yuan Zhengqian, who is the one who killed the young prince. This person cultivated his internal strength with the technique of collecting yin and supplementing yang, and mutilated countless girls, and everyone in the rivers and lakes hated it. Since Fang Zhengkun and this person are brothers, his conduct is not much better. ”

Xu Pu was still skeptical: "I don't think Fang Dao is a bad person." ”

Xu Fudao: "Little master, how do you know, people on the rivers and lakes are often like this, the more kind they are, the more sinister their hearts are often in. Little master, according to the servant's opinion, you don't have to wait for that old man, just leave Xuzhou with us now and chase after Mrs. If all goes well, we will be able to catch up in four or five days. ”

Qiu Mu also said: "What Steward Xu said is very true, the little young master should rush to Beiping as soon as possible to avoid further twists and turns." ”

Xu Pu has never left his mother's side since he was a child, and now he has not seen his mother for many days, and he is very longing to spread his wings and fly to his mother's side, hearing the two of them say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now." However, if I don't say goodbye, the Taoist will come back and see that I am missing, and I am afraid that I will be in a hurry. So, I wrote him a short note and told him that I had met my family and was going to Beiping. "Anyway, pick up a pen and write a short note.

Xu Fu and Qiu Mu were very happy when they saw that he was going north with the two of them now, and they didn't stop him when they saw that he was going to write a short note.

Xu Pu wrote it in an instant, pressed the short note under the inkstone, and then said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Xu Fu nodded, took Xu Pu with one hand, and left the room with Qiu Mu.

When I passed through the inn lobby, I happened to meet the guy from Fang Cai. When the guy saw Xu Pu walking out with the two adults, he asked, "Where is the little boy?"

Xu Pu pointed at Xu Fu and said: "This is our housekeeper, who came to look for me on the order of my mother, and now I want to go with them to see my mother." ”

The man nodded: "Does the Daoist know?"

"I've left him a note, and he'll know when he reads it. ”

The guy said, "I see. I wish Childe a smooth journey. ”

Xu Pu arched his hand and said: "Accept the good words of the eldest brother." We said goodbye," and walked out of the inn with Xu Fu Qiumu.
