When the father and son fell into this embarrassing silence, a report came from outside, saying that the king of Wei had asked to visit the emperor.

Qi Zhan had just been released from the confinement, and this happened before the emperor had time to summon him.

Emperor Longyu let him in, and saw that Qi Zhan had lost a lot of weight, walked in quickly with a box in his hand, and knelt down to salute.

Emperor Longyu said: "I have imprisoned you in the Xiangguo Temple, but you have written several times that you must enter the palace to have an audience. What's the matter?"

Qi Zhan said: "My son is unfilial and made my father angry. My mother and concubine are worried and feel very guilty all the time. This time, I heard that my father is ill, but I can't serve you by my side as a son. I am very anxious. I really want to greet you in person."

He picked up the wooden box in his hand, and said: "In addition?, my son has been cultivating himself in the temple these days, and he has also read a lot of Buddhist classics, and found a few ancient books in this "Danjing". The refining formula of Shi Dan Yao, after several experiments, finally successfully produced a furnace."

The elixir in the box is all white, exuding a light and faint fragrance.

Qi Zhan said: "The son has already tried the medicine for the emperor. Taking this pill for a long time can keep the spirit healthy and prolong life. Therefore, I am here to offer it."

He came at the right time, Jing Qianjiang's offense had made Emperor Longyu deeply feel his own oldness and weakness, and he was naturally happy when he heard the panacea, so he didn't let Qi Zhan go on.

If he saw this kind of thing on a normal day, Qi Hui would definitely persuade him, but at this moment he had just disobeyed the emperor, so he didn't say anything.

Emperor Longyu glanced at Qi Hui, and said coldly: "The prince's behavior is rebellious, resentful, and unbearable to be responsible. From now on, he will suspend his salary for one year, remove all powers, and go back to the mansion to reflect. Others have no purpose and should not come close! In addition, I will spread my will to hunt down King Jing with all my strength, and I must capture him back to Beijing alive!"

Without saying a word, Qi Hui kowtowed twice and went down.

As time went by, Qu Changlu had already lived in Nan Rong for seven or eight days.

His physical discomfort that day was not entirely pretended to He Lianyao, the climate in Nanrong was much worse than that in the Central Plains, and Qu Changlu traveled westward from the capital these days, and he had to eat and sleep in the open all the way. Hard work, something? Discomfort is inevitable.

Helian Yaori came to see him every day, and he didn't spare all kinds of precious medicinal materials, so Qu Changshou simply relaxed his mind and had the right to rest here to recuperate.

After these days of recuperation, my body has basically recovered.

He Lianyao made up his mind to put Qu Changshou in front of him to raise him, and refused to let him return to Nanrong, otherwise, he was obedient.

In order to make Qu Zhang negative happy, He Lianyao specially brought a saber for him a few days ago.

Qu Changlu had nothing to do, practiced the sword for a while, and felt a little tired, resting his sword on the ground.

At this time, a voice came from behind: "Your body has just recovered, even if you want to exercise, you have to do it in moderation. If you are so brave, what if you get tired again?"

Qu Chang took the sword back into its sheath without looking back, and said with a slight mockery: "It seems that in your eyes, I am already a useless person. If I go back to the capital, I will not have the ability to protect myself. Even if I practice sword now, Worry about being exhausted."

He Lianyao was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "You are angry again."

Qu Chang said: "You even dare to lock up the teacher, why are you afraid that I will be angry?"

He Lianyao had no choice but to smile wryly: "Teacher, you clearly know that I didn't mean that just now. It's just that everyone has selfishness, and they can't overcome the shadows and fears of the past."

"Up to now, if I keep you, you will blame me. If I don't keep you, if something really happens in the future, I will blame myself. So no matter what you say, I can't let you go. "

Qu Chang negatively raised his eyes, shook his head with a smirk, did not answer his words, walked to the side and sat down, and asked, "How is the battle between Ying Kingdom and Xiqiang?"

He Lianyao said: "The head coach of the Song family has successfully returned to the barracks, and the country of Ying has regained another city. The morale has been greatly boosted. You don't have to worry about it for now."

He paused, then looked at Qu Changshou with bright eyes, and said flatteringly: "I have mobilized the army to help, and it will arrive in about three days."

He had been standing still before, but this time Qu Changlu didn't even open his mouth, and he took the initiative to take care of it. Obviously he was determined not to let him go, but he was afraid that Qu Changlu would get angry, so he decided to settle for the next best thing. , to fulfill his other wishes.

He Lianyao talked about this matter, hoping that Qu Changxiang would give him some approval, and looked at him quietly.

Qu Chang negative was slightly startled, but said: "If you do this, I'm afraid there will be a lot of criticism from below."

Nan Rong's stubborn faction is very powerful, and He Lianyao was one of them before he was imprisoned. As a result, there was a change in the shell, and all his previous positions were completely overturned.

In addition, he had just come to power and hadn't completely subdued all the forces in Nanrong, so when Qu Changlu first came here, he didn't ask He Lianyao to send troops.

His style has always been to consider the feasibility and obstacles of the matter from the standpoint of the other party before asking someone to do something, and help the other party to solve the obstacles first, then naturally what he is looking for will be able to get twice the result with half the effort .

He Lianyao snorted, muttered for some reason, and then said: "You still care about my situation, I thought you would be happy to hear that I sent troops."

Qu Chang said: "Is this surprising? You are my only apprentice, so can I not care about you? Or, in your mind from beginning to end, I am just a person who only knows how to use and has no feelings."

He Lianyao whispered, "...it's about the same."

Qu Zhang negative smiled slightly: "Look at what you said? Words. Diluo, you have never understood me, but you always want to keep me. This kind of thinking is very contradictory."

He Lianyao knew that he couldn't talk to the teacher, so he wisely brought the topic back: "Because of He Lian Yingdu's death a few days ago, many people were shocked, and most of the forces on his side have surrendered. To my staff, so yes? There are people who are not happy with my behavior, but they will not speak out against it."

Qu Changlu pondered: "Among those who oppose you, who has the most supporters?"

Helian Suda paused, with a strange expression on his face: "Helian Suda."

Qu Zhang said "yo": "The people who support Helian Suda are spies sent by Xiqiang."

With Helian Suda's mind, he dared to swear that if he really succeeds in ascending to the top position, Nanrong might be finished.

He Lian Yao originally looked down on He Lian Suda, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard the disgust in Qu Chang's negative tone: "Because before I came into this body, what He Lian Yao was standing on The position has always been to advocate that the Central Plains people are cunning and should not conspire with them."

"Since I came, the strategies of all parties have changed a lot. They took great pains to gather a lot of supporters, but some people switched to other camps because of their disagreement. , the status is the most honorable, so everyone pushed him to the front to compete with me, and also meant to use him as a shield."

Qu Chang had a playful expression, raised his eyebrows and said, "As a result, He Lianying died."

His words seem to have nothing to do with what He Lianyao said so far, but He Lianyao smiled unconsciously: "Yes, the person who died first turned out to be Helian Yingdu who was behind the scenes. I have pity on him. Other people's wedding dresses are only half done. Until the others find a new replacement for the time being, they can only fully support Helen Suda to compete with me."

Helian Suda himself is nothing to worry about, but according to Zhongyuan, he can be regarded as the eldest son of the maharaja, and his mother clan is also very powerful.

He Lianyao killed Helian Yingdu, and it was just a prevarication on the grounds that Helian Yingdu was besieged first and killed the envoy of the Kingdom of Ying.

But if he wanted to move Helen Suda, the matter would not be so easily settled down.

Qu Chang negative understood the current situation of Nan Rong.

He realized that Helian Suda was not unable to die, but first, he needed a legitimate reason to die.

Second, it is not enough to kill him alone. The key is how to deal with the diehards like Nan Rong who are wholeheartedly hostile to the Central Plains and advocate invading Ying to rob the country of resources.

Qu Chang was thinking secretly in his heart, and Helian Yao suddenly said beside him: "Teacher, I haven't talked to you like this for a long time."

He lowered his head slightly, and took the Central Plains teacup in his hand that he had specially found for Qu Changlu: "In the past, what did I have? I always liked to ask you about things I was not sure about. After getting your affirmation, I felt so happy It will be much more solid.”

Qu Zhang was indifferent, didn't answer his words, and asked again: "What's the sound outside this meeting?"

He Lianyao said: "A few days ago, a small tribe attached to Nanrong rebelled. The patriarch's family was killed by Helian Suda, and some prisoners were brought back. I am afraid that he is disposing of the prisoners at this moment."

Qu Chang negative knew that the Southern Rong had such a custom. They originally developed in the scrambling and fighting among each other. The prisoners of war were their spoils of war just like cattle, sheep, gold, silver and grain.

The general rule is that the property belongs to whoever makes the credit.

Heliansuda has a flamboyant personality, and he has the idea of ​​competing with Helianyao. After winning this battle, he naturally has to show it well, and it is also considered unlucky for the captives he captured this time.

But winners and losers, since they made the decision to rebel at the beginning, they should have thought about the consequences, so it doesn't matter whether they win or lose.

Qu Chang said negatively: "Then I don't know if a prisoner of war who is a teacher and a maharajah is eligible to go abroad to meet a loser who has the same disease and pity for each other?"

He Lianyao said: "I didn't intend to lock you up, it's just that letting others know your identity at this time may bring you danger. I'm wronged you to dress up, I will accompany you out for a walk."

He paused and said: "As long as you don't leave me, I will satisfy you with any request. You can ask me as much as you want. "

His attitude this time satisfied Qu Changlu, the two of them dressed up, and when they were about to go out, Qu Changlu suddenly paused.

He said with emotion: "You have changed a lot. Before I knew it, the young man who used to follow behind me and ask questions was now able to take charge of himself, and he really looked like a king."

Helian Yao turned his head abruptly.

Qu Chang said negatively: "Seeing your various arrangements and planning now, I have to say that all the hard work back then was indeed not in vain."

From Qu Chang negative, it is rare to even get a slight approving look. Who would have thought that he could say such a sentence suddenly for the first time?

Helian Yao was stunned at that moment.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt dizzy. After drinking, he couldn't help asking: "Yes, is it? Why did you suddenly, suddenly praise me?"

Qu Chang negative smiled faintly: "I'm in a good mood right now."

Qu Changlu dressed up as He Lianyao's bodyguard, and the two came to the grassland outside.

The unobstructed cold wind blew like a knife, but the sound of shouting, laughing and cheering came from the other side of the grassland.

He Lianyao led? He approached a little closer, and saw that all kinds of trophies were on the ground, people were drinking and eating meat to celebrate, and the woman who was captured was accompanied by tears, and there were still hanging on the wooden shelf next to it. A dozen bloody corpses.

He Lianyao knew that Qu Chang negative must not like this kind of behavior very much, or in other words, it was precisely because he wanted to change this kind of atmosphere that he chose himself in the first place, and patiently told him etiquette education, good and evil, right and wrong.

He said: "Nanrong has always had the tradition of cooking traitors, but it has been strictly prohibited by me, so they can't do it now. Some customs in the past are indeed bad habits, but it will take time to change them one by one. .”

Qu Chang negative didn't know if he heard Helian Suda's explanation, he stared at Helian Suda, thoughtful.

At this moment, another girl about thirteen or fourteen years old was brought up.

She was the daughter of the leader of the rebellion, and she was supposed to be exterminated together with other family members, but Helen Suda chose to keep this one, just to play with her and kill her.

The girl was pushed in front of Helian Suda. Helian Suda laughed and poured a bowl of wine on her body, then reached out to touch her face.

But the girl opened her mouth suddenly, and bit Helen Suda's palm with one bite, biting off a piece of flesh from his hand.

Helen Suda pushed her away with a hand, blood dripping from her hands.

The girl slammed headlong to the side, but was quickly held down by the surrounding people, preventing her from seeking death.

Helian Suda said angrily: "Bitch, no wonder your father dared to rebel! Somebody, give me this? Hang this woman up and cut her alive..."

Before he could finish his words, an arrow flew from a distance, piercing the girl's throat with incomparable precision, killing her instantly.

Helian Suda narrowed his eyes, stood up abruptly, and looked back.

At this time, other people also found He Lianyao standing there, hurriedly wiped off the oil stains around their mouths, and got up to meet the majesty.

Helian Suda also stepped forward to salute, and said carelessly, "Majesty, why are you here?"

He Lianyao said: "Heard it's lively here, so feel free to take a look. King Bo Jun deserves to be celebrated for making such a contribution, but... you must also pay attention to propriety."

Helian Suda said: "Majesty, I have always remembered your instructions, and this time I didn't play too much with the captives. It's just that the little bitch hurt me just now. Is it a big treason, so I will order the prisoner to be punished by cutting?" She was executed, but she was preempted by someone."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Qu Changying who was standing beside He Lianyao.

He Lianyao turned slightly sideways, half blocking between the two of them.

Qu Changlu smiled calmly, threw away the bow in his hand, and bowed to Helian Suda: "Prince Bo Jun, please forgive me, the villain just saw such a sinner and dared to do it." Hurt you, I was so angry for a while, I couldn't help but shot."

He just has this kind of ability to take it for granted that no matter how stupid it is, it is impossible for people to refute it.

He Lianyao sized up Qu Changnegative for a moment, doubting: "You really shot that arrow? Accuracy and strength? It's not bad."

Qu Chang said: "King Xie Bojun praises you."

Heliansuda rolled his eyes, and said to Helianyao: "Majesty, the guard you just found is good at skills, why don't you let him compete with my subordinates, let's have fun."

Before Qu Changcheng refused, He Lianyao said without thinking, "No, this is not someone who can make you happy."

He took a look at Qu Zhang, and somehow his tone seemed a little proud: "Besides, he has a weird temper and never competes with others. Forget it, King Bo Jun."

After finishing speaking, he said to Qu Changcheng: "Let's go, let's go and have a look elsewhere."

Helian Yao's defense of this guard was very obvious, in the eyes of others, they would not think about other things, they would only think that he was deliberately doing this to sweep Helian Suda's face.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, everyone bowed their waists to send off the majesty respectfully, and some people whispered among the crowd: "A bodyguard, how could he be so arrogant? I'm afraid it's a guilty conscience."

"That's right, that arrow just now, maybe a blind cat hit it? A dead mouse, that's why it hit it."

"Look? The boy's body doesn't look like a guard, and his face is strange, I'm afraid he's not a rabbit..."

He Lian Yao's face turned cold, and he was about to speak, but Qu Chang negative suddenly turned around, smiled slightly at He Lian Su Da, and said, "King Bo Jun, please take a look."

Helian Suda was stunned: "What are you looking at?...?"

He hadn't finished speaking when he saw Qu Chang's three arrows hit the bow, he almost didn't need to aim at all, he loosened his five fingers, the long arrows were unbiased, and just shot right through the hats of the three speakers.

Before the opponent could react, he felt his head sinking. He took off his hat and saw that there was an extra arrow on it.

The most difficult thing is that the three arrows are far and near, high and low, but the force and direction are all controlled just right, neither knocking off the hat, nor letting the long arrows go through the hat and fly around.

He Lianyao didn't restrict Qu Changying's behavior at all, instead he smiled and took the lead in applauding: "Good!"

So Maharaja again? As soon as he said that, the others didn't dare to say anything.

Helian Suda half opened his mouth in astonishment.

Although he is not thoughtful enough, he has the keen nerves that belong to a warrior.

When the long arrow flew past in front of him, the familiar feeling of coldness and sharpness, as well as the feeling of shock and horror that almost made his whole body numb, so much? Over the years, Helen Suda has only experienced it from one person.

That is Qu Changcheng who should have died under the siege of Helian Yingdu by now.

He couldn't help but stare at the back of the other party, trying to identify what? But he only felt that it was getting farther and farther away, more and more blurred.

A few steps away, Qu Chang negative also turned his head and cast a glance at the grass just now, his gaze was already full of coldness.

He didn't save the girl just now, but took a risk and gave her a happy death.One is that she wants to die wholeheartedly, and the other is that as a member of the rebel party, if she is not dealt with, it will be difficult for her to convince the public.

The people of these tribal peoples lack education, and still retain their animal nature in their bones. Their methods have always been cruel, and they are keen on burning, killing and looting.This is true for the treatment of the same family, but when dealing with the Central Plains in the past, it was only more vicious.

In his previous life, he taught Helian Shiluo carefully, but he was persuaded by others, thinking that what Qu Changlu had done was in vain.

A strong nation will eventually swallow up a weak nation. The law of the jungle is an inevitable law and the need for progress. He should let nature take its course instead of trying to stop it in vain.

Qu Chang negative agreed with his statement at the time, and politely asked him to send his frail wife and newly born son to the army of Nanrong to experience the great progress made by the jungle.

He didn't know the significance of this kind of progress brought about by killing, and he couldn't divide people into three, six, or nine grades according to strength. Every life has the right to live? There is also the possibility of miracles blooming, no should be arbitrarily deprived.

Probably because he stared at it for too long, a big hand stretched out, vainly blocking his eyes.

"Teacher, I know you helped her. Don't think about it anymore. If you see too much blood, you won't be able to sleep well at night."

Helian Yao said softly: "Let's go, I will accompany you to see the scenery over there. Look, the shepherds are grazing the sheep, and there are a group of newborn lambs, very cute..."
