After the vegetarian banquet, everyone listened to the eminent monk's opening sermon for two hours. By the time they got on the carriage on the way back, it was already the evening when the sun was setting. The autumn sunset was magnificent, but Lin Shuran had no intention of admiring it. She held it in her left hand.

Holding the prayer beads and the black token in his right hand, he was lost in thought.

Xu Junze was riding in the same carriage with her at this time. Seeing that she seemed to be embarrassed by the gift given by the two masters, he looked at her and said: "I gave it to you, just accept it, there is no need to bear any burden!"

Lin Shuran breathed out softly, looked at him and said: "It is impossible to say that there is no burden at all. The two masters have such high status, but neither of them gave gifts, but they all gave them to me. I am just a person.

How can a housewife deserve such attention from them?"

"Don't belittle yourself. You deserve all the good things in this world. I can only say that these two masters have vision. Like me, they can see that you are special." Xu Junze said this with emotion, and then added

Feeling embarrassed, I straightened my posture and looked forward, pretending to be calm.

Lin Shuran was amused by him. She knew that he was upright and resolute, but she didn't expect that the words he said inadvertently could make people blush and their hearts beat. Seeing that he was shy, Lin Shuran deliberately came closer to him, looked up into his eyes and said:

"So you think I'm special. What's special about me? What's special about me? Am I very gentle, cute, beautiful and generous?"

Xu Junze's jaw tensed up, and then he nodded under Lin Shuran's gaze. This made Lin Shuran feel embarrassed and withdrew her body with a smile on her face.

She raised two things and looked at them carefully. The beads didn't look like much, but the black token was quite strange. She asked Xu Junze curiously: "Do you know what this black token 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. It was issued by the old leader of the Xuanqing Gang, the largest gang in the world, decades ago."

Then, Xu Junze told Lin Shuran that the Xuanqing Gang has a long-standing reputation in the world, with a history of hundreds of years, with members all over the world, and there are many masters in the gang, many capable people and craftsmen, and they often do chivalrous things and fight injustices for the poor.

, whenever there is a dispute in the rivers and lakes, the Xuanqing Gang will come forward to settle it. The old gang leader Huo Fuqiu once issued three black water tokens. Anyone holding this token can travel unimpeded on any waterway.

It’s just that thirty years ago, there was a civil strife in the Xuanqing Gang. Many members of the gang were killed and injured overnight. The old gang leader died tragically, and his disciples were killed and injured, but they were still able to walk. Since then, the Xuanqing Gang has declined, and now only Xuanqing Villa is left.

Still supporting the facade.

After hearing what Xu Junze said, Lin Shuran felt that the sign in her hand was even hotter. It turned out that the sign on it was not a strange character, but represented a waterway. The old man Hutan was too generous to give her such a precious thing.

little woman.

Near noon, Xu Minghan's attendants and servants returned to the house first, saying that the third young master asked them to go back to the house to pick up things. Later, Xu Minghan's secret guards also returned to the house, found Xu Mingchen, and gave him a letter saying that

The third young master specially ordered it to be given to him.

"Several young masters have gone out to look for you, but they haven't come back yet. You and your wife are in the palace again, and I can't contact you!" Xu An felt that he had done something wrong, and he blamed himself on his face.

"I didn't expect this Black Water Token to have such a special meaning and function. It's overkill for me. How about you take it? You can use it better than me!" Lin Shuran handed the Black Water Token to me.

Xu Junze.

"There are three Blackwater tokens in total. One is in the hands of the current owner of Xuanqing Villa, Huo Yang, and one is in the hands of the head of the Liu family in Xishu. The last one has been missing, but unexpectedly it is in the hands of the old man Hutan.

, now you are its owner!" The reason why Xu Junze knows so clearly about the Xuanqing Gang is because when he was young, his master took him to live there for a period of time.

Lin Shuran could not sit still. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Xu Minghan failed to find them and lost a few more. She asked Xu An to send some people out to call Xu Mingchen and others who were looking for people first.

"What's going on?" Xu Junze's face turned cold, and Lin Shuran was also confused. What does "seem to" mean that he ran away from home?

But Xu Junze did not reach out to take it, but looked at her and said: "This is given to you by someone else. You should keep it well. Although the Xuanqing Gang is no longer famous, people in the world will take this for the sake of the old gang leader."

Tokens are still very useful.”

Xu Junze immediately changed his steps and asked Lin Shuran to wait at home with peace of mind while he dispatched manpower to search.

At this time, Xu An hurriedly explained that after the two of them entered the palace, the young masters in the mansion were busy with their own affairs. The third young master finished his homework and went out, saying that he had invited friends to play.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingchen opened the envelope and wrote only five words on it - "I'm leaving, don't look for me!" When the attendants, servants and secret guards went back to look for Xu Minghan, he was gone.

But she usually stays close to the door, so what would she want with this token for smooth waterway, but Xu Junze doesn't want it, so she should keep it for herself first, who knows if she will really be able to use it in the future.

As soon as their carriage arrived at the door of the mansion, they saw the housekeeper Xu An hurrying 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!"

After more than half an hour, Xu Mingchen and the others returned to their house one after another. They went to some places where Xu Minghan often went, but no one was found.

"It's so late, where can Brother Han go? Do you know if he has any close friends in the capital?" Lin Shuran asked the chef to prepare food and drinks for Xu Mingchen and the others, and went out to find someone like this

After most of the day, they were tired.

Xu Mingchen shook his head and said with some guilt: "The third brother doesn't like to go out very much. He plays with us most of the time. I haven't seen him get along particularly well with anyone. I don't know why he suddenly ran away from home.

!”

"Third brother has been a bit weird lately. He used to like to knock my head off whenever he had something to do, but recently he doesn't knock on me much anymore. He will bring out anything delicious, drinkable, and fun. It seems--it seems like he is going to come out.

It's like traveling far away." Xu Minghao thought about it now. Xu Minghan's running away from home was not without any signs, but he was too nervous to think about it. After all, people like them without fathers and mothers, how could they survive away from the General's Mansion?

where to.
