Jing Qianjiang solved a serious problem in his confidant and came out of the palace. While he was relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Really, it was just last night...are we going to separate?He really couldn't bear to leave Qu Chang negative.

In Jing Qianjiang's understanding, since there is already a physical relationship, it should mean that he and Qu Changnegative have formally confirmed their relationship.

But that heartless boy, he went back and forth for several months? It was too late to consolidate the relationship, maybe he forgot about it.

Thinking of this, Jing Qianjiang was suddenly happy and sad, and couldn't help urging the horse to go fast. He didn't even look up when he passed the door of his own palace, and went straight to the other courtyard where Qu Changshou lived.

The guards of the Xiangfu were already used to seeing Prince Jing come and go, and no one stopped him. Instead, they told him that the young master was in the Guanxia Building in the back garden.

It was a small three-story building, and Qu Changsheng was on the top floor, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, his robe sleeves fluttering in the wind and streamer.

Jing Qianjiang went up, stood beside Qu Changcheng, looked towards the distance together with him, hesitated for a long time in his heart, and said: "You...do you want breakfast?"

Qu Chang said: "Have you eaten the lunch?"

Jing Qianjiang: "...Oh, it's all so late."

He originally wanted to say something, but when he tilted his head, he saw a red mark left on the side of Qu Chang's fair neck from yesterday, and instantly felt uneasy, and also somewhat inexplicably sweet and shy, Forget about the latter.

It was Qu Chang negative who asked: "I just entered the palace, did the emperor tell you about the Western Qiang war?"

Jing Qianjiang calmed down, and said: "Don't worry, the encirclement of Xiqiang has not been completed. The Grand Master Song will meet for a while? No? It will be dangerous. I have already called for the battle, and I will lead the army to support in three days' time."

Qu Changlu didn't turn around until this moment? He looked at him and asked, "You took the initiative to invite the fight?"

Jing Qianjiang said: "Yes."

Qu Changlu said lightly: "Why is this so? I was able to deal with He Lianyao in my last life, and I can do the same in this life. I don't need you to bear any grudges and responsibilities for me. No matter what happens between us, a man stands in heaven and earth In the meantime, you are still you, and I am me."

Jing Qianjiang smiled and said: "I agree with this point. A man stands between heaven and earth, so Master Qu can't always share the worries of the people of his family and country, while Qianjiang is just an idler with nothing to do. There is no reason why you don't want me to make meritorious deeds. ,Yes or no?"

He couldn't help but stare at Qu Chang's neck, only to feel that the red mark looked at it? It was dazzling, and he didn't know if it hurt when it was left, or because he was inexperienced and lost the importance.

Finally, Jing Qianjiang couldn't hold back, and reached out to touch Qu Chang's neck. Feeling the other's body tremble, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Feeling melancholy in his heart, Jing Qianjiang whispered: "Only one thing, I really miss you. Just now His Majesty told me that I am not young, and it is time to start a family. I thought, if we can really be like ordinary couples, face each other day and night ,that would be nice."

Qu Chang negative raised his eyebrows and said: "Then you can think too far. Maybe when you come back, I won't even remember who you are."

Jing Qianjiang: "Oh?"

Qu Changsheng: "Yes."

Jing Qianjiang Zhanzhao suddenly stretched out his arms, wrapped around Qu Chang's back, and hugged him.

"That won't work."

He said: "You promised to be with me last night, so you must not go back on it, and you must not forget me, otherwise, I will still chase you around, even if I try my best, I will bring you back."

Qu Chang negative has always been self-controlled. When he wakes up from the chaotic grief, indulgence and desire, he feels absurd. Therefore, when he saw Jing Qianjiang again, this subtle uneasiness in his heart made him feel a little more nervous than usual. point.

At this time, the two hugged each other, the physical familiarity was stronger than the psychological resistance, Qu Chang smiled negatively and said, "Okay, I'm joking with you. If you have something to say, don't keep talking about it, you I’ve said it eight hundred times, can I still not remember it?”

Jing Qianjiang smiled slightly, and kissed him lightly.

He felt that Qu Chang's waist was extremely thin, and his arms were empty, so he couldn't help tightening his arms a little more.

With a kiss, the addictive obsession from last night flooded into my heart again, the feeling of being intoxicated, almost lost.

——He could hear that, for Qu Changnegative, this was tantamount to agreeing to what he said just now.

Jing Qianjiang said in a low voice: "Who made you cold-hearted, I don't tell you several times, I always feel uneasy."

Qu Zhang patted him on the shoulder, pushed Jing Qianjiang away, and said, "General, you should really let your soldiers see you like this."

Jing Qianjiang's arms were empty, but he didn't care.

He has been obsessed with it for many years, and it is only now that he feels that he has vaguely grasped something that can be truly grasped. He just feels happy? Extremely happy.

After a pause, Jing Qianjiang went to pull Qu Chang's hand again, and said softly: "I'm leaving soon, let alone those boring political affairs. How is your body? I was the one who went too far last night. Go back and rest for a while."

Qu Zhangyin coughed and said, "You overestimate yourself... let's go."

Hearing him cough, Jing Qianjiang also felt itchy throat for some reason.

He originally wanted to say that if you really think so, I will not restrain myself next time, but the words drifted in my heart, and I still didn't dare to tell Qu Changcheng.

The two came down from the small building, and before entering the yard, Qu Changlu suddenly said, "I was in a bad mood last night, so I really wanted to indulge myself."

Jing Qianjiang said "Yes", "I know."

Qu Chang negative said: "But you don't have to use indulgent ways to vent your emotions, and neither will I? Because just want to indulge, just find someone to be with."

Jing Qianjiang suddenly turned his head to look at him. Seeing Qu Zhang's negative smile, he was calm and composed. He lifted his robe and stepped over the threshold, and went back to his room first.

No matter how lingering he is, the three-day deadline will come in a blink of an eye. Jing Qianjiang can only hang his heart on the errand he asked for by himself in the capital and lead an army to go out.

After Jing Qianjiang left, Qu Changlu lingered in the other courtyard for a few more days before returning to the Prime Minister's residence.

He still had a lot of things to come back to deal with, and he was impatient to see the people here, so he deliberately chose to come back later.

But he was unlucky enough to meet Qu Xiao, who was supposed to be busy with business, lingering in the garden in front of his yard for the first time.

Qu Changcheng was surrounded by the attendants who went back home with him, Xiao Duan was walking in front carrying a lantern, while Qu Xiao was followed by only a little maid who came from the other side of the road.

Meet on a narrow road.

Both father and son paused in their footsteps. After a while, Qu Changlu raised his hand and moved to the side of the road.

The people behind him were clearly brought out by the Prime Minister's Mansion, but seeing Qu Chang's actions at this moment, he saluted the Prime Minister and gave way.

The father and son hadn't spoken to each other since the incident with the Ministry of Punishment last time, and now it was this confrontational way of meeting again, which seemed even more tense.

Qu Xiao walked over on the road that Qu Changlu gave way to, and when he got in front of Qu Changlu, he stopped, turned his head and said, "Lantai."

Qu Chang negative bowed slightly: "Father."

Qu Xiao said: "Today is my father's birthday, our house held a banquet, I wanted to wait for you, but? You didn't come back. Did you forget?"

Qu Chang was heartbroken? He said calmly, "My son dare not forget his father's birthday. It's just that my son was born with a bad nature and didn't like his father, so he didn't want to annoy you on such a day."

There was no sarcasm in his tone, it was more like a simple confusion and sigh, Qu Xiao didn't answer Qu Chang's words, and said, "You can walk with Dad."

Qu Chang said: "Yes."

He turned around and followed Qu Xiao.

Xiao Duan didn't know what to do, but felt that the expression and tone of the father and son were a little weird, so he hesitated for a while, and followed behind with a lantern.

Qu Chang negative took the lantern from him with his backhand, and said, "You all go down."

They walked quietly in the Xiangfu garden for a while, Qu Xiao said: "What happened last time, did you blame your father for doubting you? Have you still not calmed down?"

Qu Zhang said: "I'm not blaming my father for doubting me, I'm blaming my father for knowing in his heart that I wouldn't do such a thing, but indiscriminately pushing all the blame on me. I'm not angry either, I am……"

He paused: "I am chilling?"

Qu Xiao abruptly turned his head to look at him, Qu Zhang negative looked back indifferently, his eyes were emotionless, and he was no longer the same as he used to be in front of Qu Xiao.

After a while, Qu Xiao smiled and said: "Finally, I have spoken. I thought that you, a good son, would be in front of me for the rest of your life."

Qu Zhang said: "Father, you know my physical condition, how long do you think my life will be? I am tired and don't want to continue acting. Just as you don't like me, then the posturing between father and son, It’s all free.”

He slowly placed the lantern on the ground between the two of them.

"When you hold the flame in the palm of your hand, you can feel the warmth, and you want to cherish it. But once you leave for a long time, the remaining warmth will dissipate one day. If the fate between us can end at this decent moment , then, perhaps it is still a lucky thing."

After Qu Changlu left, Qu Xiao stood alone in front of the lantern for a long time, the swaying flames inside illuminated his gloomy complexion.

He remembered that when Qu Zhang was two or three years old, his official position was still low, and his salary was not high. He didn't want to live in the house married to the Song family, so the family of three only brought three or two servants and lived in one. Small yard.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, he hugged his son and made lanterns for him to play with, while his wife was clumsily learning how to do needlework.

At that time, his heart was filled with guilt and emotion, and he told Song Wan that in another two years, he would definitely find a way to earn her a royal order and return to a bigger house, and hire more servants. serve.

He is so attached to this family and loves his wife and children deeply.

The so-called fame and fortune, after all, isn’t it all for the family?

But later, after knowing that Qu Chang is not his own son, the sincerity of the past seems to have turned into a joke.

It is not like what Qu Chang said, he is not liked by others, but it is precisely because Qu Xiao once loved this child too much, and put in too much effort? As a result, one day, he found that he had become a witness to his own shame. Will it be so sad? And angry.

He had wanted to make the other party disappear in front of him countless times, but because of constant hesitation, his behavior repeated.

If it wasn't for hesitation, Qu Changcheng wouldn't be aware of his hatred and cause today's disaster.

——Qu Xiao knew very well that if he could keep locking him with tenderness, no matter what, this child would never become his enemy.

But now...

Qu Chang's negative attitude is also very different from before. Could it be that he knows something?

Qu Xiao was alert immediately, because for so many years, he had been wary of Qu Chang negative.

He said, "Come here."

Not long after, someone hurried over and picked up the lantern on the ground: "Master."

Qu Xiao said: "Go and check, the young master has been in the other courtyard these days, have you seen it? Who did it? What happened."

On the other side, Qu Chang's figure without a lamp disappeared into the darkness. Xiao Duan and the others were still waiting for him, and he also whispered as he walked, "If you have any recent movements, sir, report it in time."

"Yes."

The reason is no longer important. With Qu Xiao's personality, he once thought of killing him. Once his face is torn apart, he will definitely not? Let him go.

And this time, I am no longer a five-year-old child, and I won't sit still.

It's life and death, one side has to fall and one side wins.

King Jing personally led the army and marched towards Xiqiang at full speed.

When he was marching halfway, Wei Wang Qizhan had already received the news he had been waiting for, so he entered the palace in the evening and reported to the emperor.

"Father, the situation on Nanrong's side has already been investigated by all the ministers."

Qi Zhan said: "Helian Yao's ascension to the throne is too sudden. Although he has attracted many people from the tribe to follow him, but the adult princes such as Helian Suda and Helian Ying are not convinced, and even more so. With the support of the mother clan, several forces have stalemate, so it has been delayed."

"But on the whole, I think it's only a matter of time before He Lianyao takes full power, and he should already have an absolute advantage."

Since the Nanrong turmoil, the two countries have lost official contacts, and all information can only be obtained by private investigation. At present, Qi Zhan is fully responsible for this matter.

Emperor Longyu said: "There will inevitably be internal friction in the Nanrong? With many troubles, King Jing has already led the army to go out. From your point of view, do we still need to unite with the Nanrong?"

Qi Zhan said: "Father, my son thinks that Xiqiang is ambitious and has already annexed many surrounding tribes. Its purpose is nothing more than to point the sword at the Central Plains. The situation changes at any time. King Jing is brave, but the consumption of the treasury cannot be tolerated." Xiao Wang, at this time, it is natural to have one more ally to save a little effort."

What's more, the more you win people over when they are split, the easier it is to succeed.

Emperor Longyu pondered and said: "It seems that it's time for us to send envoys over there to have a look, but under this situation, going to such a wild place is extremely dangerous. Who can you propose? "

Qi Zhan said: "Your Majesty, there is actually another piece of news here. He Lianying and Helian Suda visited last time, claiming to find someone for He Lianyao. In fact, what they said was half true and half false, and the purpose was to test He Lianyao. Lian Yao."

Emperor Longyu: "Oh? Is this still true?"

Qi Zhan said: "Yes. It's true that He Lianyao wanted to find someone, and the person he wanted was Qu Changshang, the censor of Qiandu."

When these words came out of his mouth, Emperor Longyu showed a slight look of surprise, while Qi Zhan heaved a long sigh in his heart.

He had previously obtained information from Song Yan, and had already disclosed the news of Qu Chang negative to Nanrong. Sure enough, He Lianyao was immediately interested.

Qi Zhan originally hoped that the other party would go directly to Emperor Longyu to demand someone, so that he would not interfere at all.

It's a pity that He Lianyao was only looking for someone secretly, and didn't spread the news, so Qi Zhan could only personally inform Emperor Longyu of this information in order to send Qu Changlu away.

He recounted the general situation of Nanrong's secret search for Qu Changcheng, and suggested: "Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Qu is the most suitable person to go to Nanrong as an envoy. At the same time, you can send a deputy envoy to follow. Mr. Qu and He Lianyao have old friends, so we can persuade him to send troops, if there is any enmity, then it can be regarded as a sincere gift from Ying Kingdom to Nanrong."

His proposal can be said to be very despicable, and he used all the valuables in Qu Changcheng to the extreme.

Anyway, no matter what, once he goes there, he doesn't want to go back to the Central Plains again.

Emperor Longyu pondered for a moment, and instead of immediately agreeing to Qi Zhan's proposal, he asked, "You are the same as Qu, what old grievances do you have?"

Qi Zhan smiled wryly and said: "Father, you also know my son's temperament. There is not only no old grudge between me and him, but I actually have a lot of admiration for Mr. Qu..."

"It's just that in the current state affairs, personal affairs are nothing. It is precisely because I like him and understand him that I think he will be the right candidate."

He added very cunningly: "What's more, the Song family is Master Qu's mother family. He went here for the sake of the Song family's army, and he will definitely do his best."

Emperor Longyu didn't answer for a while.

He remembered what Jing Qianjiang had said to persuade him before he set off.Although he couldn't guess the personal relationship between Jing Qianjiang and Qu Changshou, Emperor Longyu knew about their close relationship.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if the other party also knew about this matter, and if Qu Chang negative was sent, would it? Won't it cause Jing Qianjiang's dissatisfaction?

But in any case, it is the safest way to fight the Western Qiang on the one hand and win over the Southern Rong on the other hand.

As long as the news is blocked, let Jing Qianjiang finish the battle well, and appease him when he comes back.
