Yu Changgong said: "I was ordered by King Yan to ask Chief Li for last year's tribute. Chief Li said that the water and grass on Changbai Mountain are abundant recently, and the game is full of fat and meat, which is a good season for hunting, so he invited me to hunt here, but I didn't expect to meet the son of the world. After that, he smiled again: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is really blessed with the sky, we have been chasing this white fox for more than 20 miles, and we have never been able to capture it, but I didn't expect it to be captured after seeing the Prince." "Anyway, hehe laughed.

The Chief Li also laughed, and when he laughed, many Jurchen cavalrymen also laughed.

Xu Pu looked at the fox in his arms, and saw that it was snow-white, petite and cute, with a pair of black and bright eyes that were quite aura, and he liked it very much, so he said: "Uncle Yu, I want you to ask for a favor, this white fox, can you give it to me?"

Yu Changgong was stunned and said: "This fox was originally captured by the prince, if the prince likes it, just take it." Chief Lee, what do you say?"

Chief Li bowed to his horse and said, "It's my honor." ”

Xu Pu's face was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Uncle Yu, thank you Chief Li." After that, he squatted down, put the white fox on the ground, stroked the fluff behind it, and said in a low voice: "The next time you see someone, don't get close, you must stay away." Go for it!"

The white fox looked up at him, and disappeared into the grass like lightning.

Yu Changgong said to Xu Pu: "I will leave for Beiping in the next few days, why don't the prince go with us and go to see King Yan and the princess together? Since last year's birthday celebration for the king of Zhongshan, she has never received any news from the palace, and if the princess sees the prince go in person, she will be very happy." ”

The princess Yan he is talking about is Xu Da's eldest daughter, Xu Jizhong's sister, and Xu Pu's aunt.

Hearing this, Xu Pu suddenly remembered and asked, "Uncle Yu, when did you leave Beiping? Have you ever seen your mother?"

Yu Changgong was stunned and said: "I set off from Beiping at the end of March, and I have been here for more than a month. What's the matter, the young princess has gone to Beiping?"

When Xu Pu heard that when he left Beiping, it was almost the same as the time when his family escaped from Beijing, and his mother went to Beiping later, no wonder he didn't know, so he nodded and said: "I heard that my mother has gone to Beiping, and I have always wanted to go to Beiping to have a round with my mother, but I was captured here by the evil way on the way." Since Uncle Yu is going back to Beiping, I bother you to take me for a ride. ”

Yu Changgong said: "Where does the son of the world come from, it is an honor for us to be able to walk with the son." After that, he looked at Xiao Baichuan and Lei Xiao beside Xu Pu, and asked, "How do you call the two of you?

Xu Pu said: "This is Brother Xiao and this is Brother Lei, both of them are heroes of the Beggar Gang and my good friends." ”

Yu Changgong said: "It turned out to be a friend on the rivers and lakes, and I have admired it for a long time." The two of you are friends of the prince and friends, if you don't dislike them, how about you please go with us?"

King Yan is ambitious, and knows that although those high-rollers are reckless, they are heroic, so he has the heart to win over. Yu Changgong is King Yan's confidant and favorite general, and naturally knows King Yan's heart, so when he heard that the two of them are heroes of the rivers and lakes, not only did he not despise him in the slightest, but he redoubled his respect.

Xu Pu also said: "Brother Xiao, Brother Lei, if you two have nothing else to do, why don't you go back with us?"

Xiao Baichuan and they came here, originally to find ginseng, to treat internal injuries for Cang Yunhai, and then Xu Pu helped them grab the king of ginseng, but his whereabouts are unknown, Xiao Baichuan They stayed here, it was to find Xu Pu and protect his safety, at this time, I saw Xu Pu meet an old acquaintance, a little relieved, but Xu Pu was young and alone, so rashly left Xu Pu to them, Xiao Baichuan couldn't rest assured, so he said: "Since Brother Xu is so gracious, we will go with Brother Xu, anyway, we are going back to the Central Plains." ”

Xu Puxi said: "Great, with two peers, I won't be lonely along the way." ”

As he spoke, the cavalry that had gone to chase Fang Zhengkun ran back and said a few words to the Chief Li. When the chief heard this, his face turned angry, and he reprimanded the people in Jurchen words, and then said to Yu Changgong: "Envoy, I am ashamed to say that they have not been able to catch up with that wicked man. ”

When Yu Changgong heard this, his face also showed displeasure, and Xu Pu hurriedly said: "Even if you can't catch up, it doesn't matter." The chieftain does not have to repensure them. ”

The chief bowed his hand to Xu Pu and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity. After that, he gave a few more commands to the cavalry in Jurchen words, and those people saluted and thanked Xu Pu one after another.

Yu Changgong took his horse and said to Xu Pu: "Shizi, please take my horse first." Chief Li, please prepare two horses for these two heroes. ”

Chief Li immediately ordered his subordinates to bring three horses for Yu Changgong, Xiao Baichuan and Lei Xiao to ride.

The four of them mounted their horses and returned to the tribal garrison with the Jurchen cavalry.

Yu Changgong has followed Zhu Di, the king of Yan, for many years, and is the confidant of the king of Yan, because he is loyal to the king of Yan and capable of handling things, and has won the trust of the king of Yan. King Yan is busy with affairs and has no time to doppelgänger, and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, has no time to come in person every year for his birthday, so he often asks Yu Changgong to escort the princess to Jingshi to pay homage to his birthday, so he knows Xu Pu.

While walking down the mountain, Lei Xiao said to Xu Pu: "Brother Xu, that general keeps claiming that you are the son of the world, could it be that you are the descendant of a prince and noble?"

Xu Pu sighed and said, "Now that my family is ruined, where are I still a prince and noble." Brother Lei, you just want me to be the same person as you. ”

Xiao Baichuan said: "Brother Xu, if I expect it to be good, you should be the descendant of King Xu Da Xu of Zhongshan, yes or no?"

Xu Pu saw that he had guessed it, and he didn't have to hide it anymore, so he nodded and said, "Brother Xiao is right, Lord Xu is my grandfather." ”

Lei Xiao said: "It turns out that Brother Xu is the descendant of Lord Xu. Brother Xu, why didn't you say it earlier? Prince Xu expelled the Yuan people and returned me to the Han people, he is the person I admire the most Lei Xiao, and I can get acquainted with his descendants, I Lei Xiao died without regrets!"

Xu Pu said: "Brother Lei, you are serious. ”

Xiao Baichuan said: "Before leaving the Central Plains, I heard rumors that Prince Xu had passed away due to illness, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Xu Pu nodded: "It's true." ”

Xiao Baichuan asked again: "Then how did Brother Xu meet Fang Zhengkun, and how could he be brought here?"

Hearing him ask like this, Xu Pu remembered the past not long ago, sighed slightly, and roughly explained the cause and effect of the incident, which naturally also mentioned the acquaintance and separation with Cang Yunhai.

Xiao Baichuan and Lei Xiao listened and nodded constantly: "It turns out that Brother Cang suffered internal injuries like this, and you and Brother Cang met like this." ”

While speaking, the group returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain. After resting in the camp for one night, he set off for Jianzhou in Jurchen Kyoto the next day, and delayed in Jianzhou for two days, and when Chief Li prepared the tribute, Yu Changgong led the men and horses, together with Xu Pu, Xiao Baichuan, Lei Xiao and others, to return to Beiping in a mighty way.
