Chapter 169 Chapter 169 Stay away from that man
Xu Yunfan's eyes widened, his mind swirling with stories of intrigue and power struggles. The thought of being dragged into the center of this vortex made him speechless. "Uncle Xiao, you... you're probably being plotted against, aren't you? Uncle Xiao, let me be honest. I studied and pursued a career in government to serve my country and protect my family. Those conspiracies and schemes really don't suit me. There are many similar people in this world. How about you look for someone else? It's really not easy for me, a powerless person like me."
"Are you scared?" Seeing Xu Yunfan's cowardly look, Xiao Hengzhi slapped him in the face, "Don't worry, the current emperor is a good person. As long as I don't collaborate with the enemy and sell out my country, the Xiao family will not fall."
"As for those who attacked me, they must be from outside the court. Even if their claws are very long, they would never dare to do anything that would cause too much noise."
"If that's the case, how did you fall for it?" Xu Yunfan pursed his lips and tickled the itchy spot on his back that was slapped. Xiao Hengzhi was a bit dishonest. He actually lied to people. He spoke so arrogantly just now, but in the end he was tricked.
This guy is probably just a big talker, and maybe his ability is just that.
Xiao Heng choked, his face flushed, and he slapped Xu Yunfan on the back again in annoyance, "Do you understand what it means to make mistakes? I was careless. I won't waste my words with you. Just go back and tell Runge'er about me. I'm serious about adopting them as my sons."
Xu Yunfan said, "What about Mu Ge'er? Why do I feel like you know him?"
When Xiao Hengzhi mentioned the similarities between Qin Mu and Fu Qingxu, Xu Yunfan's mind buzzed. He said casually, "Maybe it's because my brother-in-law is more mature. They all look like nobles. So what relationship can Prince Fu have with my brother Mu? But now that you mention it, I'm curious. If Prince Fu also has a little boy, wouldn't that be the same as my brother Mu?"
Xu Yunfan chuckled, but Xiao Hengzhi couldn't. "Fu Qingxu did have a little brother, but he got lost and disappeared. They searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him. I heard that the child was left near Qingling County."
Damn it!
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Xu Yunfan couldn't ask any more, but Xiao Hengzhi couldn't stop. "I don't know who is going to attack them. Over the years, the royal family has sent people to secretly look for the child, but unfortunately, they have been searching for so long without any results. Everyone is speculating whether the child has been dealt with. Later, Fu Qingxu discovered that another force was also looking for his child. I think those people want to find the child and use him as a hostage. The royal family is really frustrated."
Hearing this, Xu Yunfan's other thoughts immediately stopped.
Good man, it’s better to keep Qin Mu’s affairs a secret.
Even Xiao Hengzhi could be plotted against, who knows if he can really protect the child?
If those who were secretly looking for the child knew Qin Mu's identity, not only would Qin Mu be in danger, but I'm afraid they would not be able to escape unscathed.
Xu Yunfan didn't dare to risk Qin Mu's safety. It was only a year. After a year, he went to the capital. If Qin Mu was really Fu Qingxu's child, he would let him return to his ancestral home at that time.
As long as no one asks about the details, his identity will only be the boy of the Xiao Qin family.
Xu Yunfan didn't know if what he did was right or not, but this was the best way he could do to protect Qin Mu.
Even if this is unfair to Fu Qingxu and his wife, isn't the means he uses to achieve this also serving the ultimate goal?
Their starting point is the same.
While lying in bed, Xu Yunfan told Qin Run everything he had learned from Xiao Hengzhi. "Run'er, what about you? What do you think?"
Qin Run was silent for a while, then turned to Xu Yunfan and said blankly, "I don't know, Yunfan, what do you think I should do?"
Seeing Qin Run's hesitant look, Xu Yunfan leaned over and kissed Qin Run. "Don't worry about such a small matter. Just follow your heart. If you are willing to recognize this godfather, then recognize him. If you don't want to recognize him, it doesn't matter. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."
"But if I admit it, will we be in trouble?" After all, Qin Run was most concerned about Xu Yunfan. He didn't know what was happening in the court, but he had heard a little that in the court, if you choose the right backer, you can go far and steady. If the backer is unreliable, how can a small hill remain unscathed under the collapsing mountain?
"No, you don't need to worry about these things. No matter what you do, I will support you." Xu Yunfan finished speaking and told about his encounter with Li Liu tonight. At the end, he asked curiously, "Run'er, why do I feel that Li Liu is weird? He seems to be afraid of me."
Xu Yunfan remembered that he stepped back in fear after Li Liu knocked him down, and only turned around and ran after seeing who he was.
But at that moment, he noticed the disgust and fear in Li Liu's eyes, and saw it clearly.
"We are all men. Besides, am I really that scary with my honest and kind face?"
Hearing this, Qin Run was startled and jumped up from the bed. "Yun Fan, you didn't get beaten by him, did you?"
Seeing Qin Run's nervous expression, Xu Yunfan also stood up and sat up. "Why did he hit me? And why are you so shocked? It's impossible that he dislikes me just because I'm from the Qin family. That's impossible. He was even concerned about me today."
"no."
Realizing that he had scared Xu Yunfan, Qin Run quickly lay back down and pulled Xu Yunfan into his arms, hugging Xu Yunfan's waist. His chin felt slightly itchy from being pricked by the tips of Xu Yunfan's fluffy hair, but he felt even more itchy in his heart.
Xu Yunfan was held in Qin Run's arms. He didn't even use a pillow to sleep. His head rested on Qin Run's chest. The faint scent of pancreatic soap from Qin Run filled his nostrils. The sound of his strong heartbeat filled his ears. "Brother Run, are you nervous?"
"A little." Qin Run seemed to be caught in some bad memories, and the speed of his chest shaking slightly accelerated. "I met him a few times when I was chopping wood in the mountains. One time..."
That time, the door to Qin Run’s new world was opened.
He thought the place where he was chopping wood was far enough away that there wouldn't be anyone around, but he vaguely heard the sounds of fighting and insults.
Driven by curiosity, Qin Run quietly followed the sound. After pushing aside the grass in front of him, the sound of fists hitting flesh and the painful groans became clearer and clearer.
Qin Run was stunned by the scene before him.
He couldn't quite tell whether his nervousness and panic came from the embarrassment of seeing such a scene, or simply from fear.
A man from Li's side spread his legs and sat astride Li Liu. Li Liu, who was pressed under him, was in a very miserable state. Blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, the corners of his eyes were bruised and purple, and his clothes were torn into a mess. Even so, Li Liu was still struggling.
The man said something unbearable, "Fuck you, you've been ridden to pieces, your ass and holes have been played with countless times, why are you still pretending? What's wrong with giving me a taste of something new?"
Li Liu struggled hard and roared like a beast, but he was thin and was no match for the man on his body.
It seemed that Li Liu had almost exhausted all his strength, so the man hurriedly untied the belt around his waist. Perhaps he had finally caught the opportunity, and his hands began to tremble with excitement. The more anxious he was, the harder it was to untie the belt, which gave Qin Run an opportunity to take advantage of.
Qin Run had heard some rumors about Li Liu, but he just took it as a joke. He knew too well how powerful the gossips in the village were. They could turn black into white, and some of their words were simply not credible.
Li Liuke is a man, how can a man like another man?
I look like a man but I am despised like this, not to mention that Li Liu is a real man.
Therefore, when Qin Run saw with his own eyes that Li Liu was being "bullied" by a man, he was stunned for a long time.
But he knew that Li Liu was unwilling.
Since he doesn't want to, it's not a sale.
It was at that moment that Qin Run discovered the despair, unwillingness and death in Li Liu's eyes.
Just when Li Liu was struggling in vain and in despair, the man, whose belt had not yet been untied, suddenly felt limp and fainted.
After learning about Li Liu's experience, Qin Run saw that Li Liu looked more like a gangster than himself, so he simply suggested that he carry a knife with him. If anyone had bad intentions towards him, he could just stab them with the knife to teach them a lesson.
Qin Run didn't dare to think about where he would go to cry if Xu Yunfan was really chopped to death by Li Liu.
Xu Yunfan cried out, and raised his head. "He has a knife on him?"
"Hmm." Qin Run was face to face with Xu Yunfan. Bewitched by his beauty, or perhaps distracted by his handsomeness, his right hand began to caress Xu Yunfan's smooth face. "So, next time you meet him, don't argue with him. I know you have martial arts skills, but swords have no eyes. Li Liu is also a pitiful person. Although he is from the Li family, not all Li family members are bad guys."
"Why would I provoke him for no reason? It's just that the man you're talking about is so disgusting. If I were you, I'd kick him right there and then and cut him off. Let's see if he wants to be a strong man again in the future."
Xu Yunfan was furious. No wonder Li Liu smelled so bad and refused to wash even when asked to.
Yes, who doesn’t want to be clean? Who wants to smell bad? It’s just that sometimes, the situation doesn’t allow them to make a choice, and many things are done out of helplessness.
Speaking of that man, Qin Run warned: "Stay away from Li Shan from the Li family. He is not a good person."
Qin Run said this in a high-sounding manner, and Xu Yunfan did not doubt it: "Well, I'll listen to you."
Qin Run heard from Li Liu that Li Shan was a person who did not care about meat or vegetables. Li Liu told Qin Run to be careful and try to avoid Li Shan when he saw him in the future.
Li Shan didn't even let go of Li Liu, who was from the same clan as Li Shan, let alone a little devil like Xu Yunfan.
"Li Liu warned me that Li Shan was a bit of a scoundrel and that he had even frightened a kid next door in his early years. He told me to stay away from him in the future."
"It seems that this Li Liu is not so bad." Xu Yunfan muttered, then lay back down again. After a while, he fell asleep with his head resting on Qin Run's chest.
He was startled a second ago, but before he could say a word, he fell asleep.
Qin Run, who still wanted to do something, kissed the person again and again helplessly, and closed his eyes only after he was satisfied.
In another room, Xiao Hengzhi smelled the faint scent of soapberries on the quilt, and thought of the child he loved sleeping next door. It felt like the dream he had been fantasizing about all these years had finally come true.
Xiao Hengzhi slept soundly, but he didn't know that because of his sudden departure, County Magistrate Zhou and Xiao Lin were scared out of their wits.
They were like this, not to mention Qin Feiyu who sent people to guard Prince Xiao's mansion.
Hearing the guard's report, Qin Feiyu stood up suddenly, "What did you say? Prince Xiao is not in the palace? Where did he go?"
"My lord, I don't know..." These words really embarrassed their secret guards. Who could have known that the sickly-looking King Xiao, who was in poor health, still had his brains and actually managed to escape.
Xiao Hengzhi is not in the Xiao Mansion?
