As soon as He Jiuxiao said this, Yuan Zheng said: "Lord He is reasonable, and the poor Dao obeys the instructions." As he spoke, he reached out and slapped Xu Jizhong on the back. Xu Jizhong fell forward, and hurriedly reached out to support the bulkhead, so he didn't fall, and at the same time realized that he could move, so he hurriedly ran over, picked up Xu Pu, who was unconscious on the bench, and called out repeatedly: "Pu'er!

He Jiuxiao glanced at Yuan Zhengqian, Yuan Zhengqian nodded on Xu Pu's back, and Xu Pu immediately opened his eyes.

Xu Jizhong breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that his beloved son was safe, took his beloved son into his arms with both hands, and said to He Jiuxiao: "You have been entangled several times, what do you want?"

He Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Young Lord don't have to be nervous, we have no intention of harming us." I was just ordered to invite the young prince to go and meet Han Yuma. As long as the young prince follows me in a proper manner, we will never dare to embarrass the young prince. ”

"What did Han Juma do when he saw me?"

"Then we have no way of knowing. When the young prince sees the concubine, he will naturally know. ”

Xu Jizhong sighed and asked again: "Last time you said that the inner son was in your hands, is this true or false?"

He Jiuxiao grinned: "This is not true, nor is it false. To tell the truth, shortly after the ferry hit the rocks, it hit a boulder in the middle of the river, the hull of the ship was shattered, and Mrs. Zun was nowhere to be found. After we went ashore, the soldiers divided into two ways: we came to look for the young prince, and a few others looked for the lady along the riverbank. As long as Madame is near the river, she will be able to find it. The young prince is relaxed. ”

When Xu Jizhong heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink: The river here is turbulent, the waves are turbulent, and there is a reef at the bottom of the river, how can she support a weak woman? But after thinking about it again, Mrs. Xu Fu, Qiu Mu and others are accompanied by them, these people are all equipped with martial arts, and they may be able to save Mrs. 's life.

He Jiuxiao said again: "Young Lord, please sit down." We'll be able to land soon. ”

At this moment, surrounded by strong enemies, Xu Jizhong knew that he had no chance to escape, so he gave up his plan to escape and sat down against the bulkhead with Xu Pu.

He Jiuxiao glanced at the entourage, and these people also sat down one after another: some closed their eyes to recuperate, and some meditated.

He Jiuxiao didn't dare to relax, with a steel whip in his hand, he sat opposite Xu Jizhong, looking at their father and son. When he imagined that he sent them to Han Jinhu, the look of approval on the face of the concubine, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.

After about a cup of tea, the ferry arrived at the riverbank. The boatman will enter the ferry, and He Jiuxiao, Xu Jizhong and others will take the ferry first.

Like the other side, it is also a town, and there are also restaurants and inns in the town.

He Jiuxiao took Xu Jizhong and his son to an inn opposite the ferry. Entering the inn, Xu Jizhong was surprised. In the inn, there are two brocade guards wearing fishtail suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists, who are sitting opposite each other under the lamp and drinking. Xu Jizhong said secretly: It seems that they dispatched a lot of people in order to catch our family.

When the two brocade-clothed guards saw He Jiuxiao return suddenly, they were startled, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing to He Jiuxiao, and said: "The villain is on duty to drink at night, and the crime deserves death, please calm down and make the adult surrender!"

He Jiuxiao was in a good mood, waved his hand, and said, "Don't be so nervous." It's hard to stay up all night, and it's nothing to drink a little wine, so get up. ”

The two men stood up with a thousand thanks.

He Jiuxiao said again: "The young prince has been found, you go and prepare the carriage and horses, and we will send the young prince to meet the commander-in-chief." ”

"The villain obeyed. Then he stood up and hurried to the back of the inn.

After a while, he came back and reported: "Lord Fu Hui, the carriage and horses are ready, and we will wait outside the store." ”

He Jiuxiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go on the road." Young prince, please. ”

Xu Jizhong followed them out of the inn and saw a carriage parked outside the door, as well as a few tall horses. He Jiuxiao pointed to the carriage and said, "Young Lord, please get in the carriage." ”

Xu Jizhong sighed and hugged Xu Pu into the car.

He Jiuxiao saw Xu Jizhong get into the car, and said to the entourage: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's get on the horse too." With that, he got on his horse, and the others followed suit.

He Jiuxiao urged the horse forward and led the way in front, the coachman followed behind the carriage, and the others followed behind the carriage, and the group took advantage of the moonlight to walk along the river bank to the west.

Xu Jizhong, who was in the carriage, expected that no one would come to the rescue this time, so he didn't think about it, so he simply went with the flow, lay down next to his son, and soon fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn. Xu Jizhong lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw He Jiuxiao, Yuan Zhengqian and others, as well as a few Jinyi guards, all following the side of the carriage and heading towards the west. On the right side, you can faintly hear the sound of the river rushing, which is obviously not far from the river bank.

Xu Jizhong wondered in his heart: Why did they go all the way to the west hundreds of miles south of the Huai River in Beijing? Then he thought that they could go as they liked, and they couldn't help themselves, and they couldn't ask about these things.

At this time, Xu Pu's body moved, opened his eyes, and then sat up while rubbing his eyes. Seeing that he was in the carriage, he asked Xu Jizhong: "Why are we in the carriage?

Hearing Aiko's inquiry, Xu Jizhong couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and he was speechless for a while. Xu Pu saw that his father was silent, so he didn't say anything more.

Xu Jizhong stroked his son's hair and said softly: "Don't worry, we will be able to see your mother soon." ”

Xu Pu nodded, as if he didn't believe it.

The car was non-stop along the way, and the meals were bought and delivered to the car. Only when Xu Jizhong's father and son wanted convenience, did they stop for a while. So until dusk, I finally came to the city of Xuzhou.

He Jiuxiao opened the car door and said to Xu Jizhong: "Young Lord, we will be able to see Master Ma soon." ”

Xu Jizhong was stunned, then understood, and said, "Han Yuma has arrived in Xuzhou?"

He Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Exactly." The master of the horse came to Xuzhou precisely to find the young prince. This time we finally found the young prince, and we can be regarded as unloading the burden from our shoulders. ”

Xu Jizhong asked again: "Is there any news from Neiko?"

He Jiuxiao shook his head slightly: "I haven't received the news yet, after entering the city, I may be able to know." With that, he lowered the curtain.

Xu Jizhong secretly thought to himself: Xuzhou is six or seven hundred miles away from Beijing, Han Jinhu has traveled so long, what is the purpose of running so far to see me?

Xu Jizhong has been in the court for a long time and often meets Han Jinhu, but he has no deep friendship. He knew that Han Jinhu was vicious and cunning, and the city government was very deep, and he won the trust of the queen horse. In addition to serving as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, he also served as the squire of the military department and the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Coming so far to see me in the midst of his busy schedule, it must not be for the sake of our family leaving Beijing overnight, there must be other important matters. But what was going on, Xu Jizhong couldn't figure it out.
