But no matter how the seasons change, the endless battles in the world cannot stop.

Helen Suda died? Or was it because he wanted to unite with the Kingdom of Ying to get rid of the Maharaja, but mistakenly suppressed the dark spot of Xiqiang, and was killed by the Xiqiang people seeking revenge.

If he died in any other way, it would be enough to make the faction against He Lianyao make a big fuss, but he was shot through the head by the Xiqiang people in public.

The rejection and opposition of Helian Suda's party to the Central Plains in the past have all become a joke.

Under such circumstances, Helian Suda showed both kindness and power. Not only did Helian Suda's supporters not be held accountable, but he held a grand funeral for Helian Suda, and announced in public that he would definitely avenge him and go westward. Qiang declared war.

Are you cheating? You still say everything is for? Hello, this kind of style is simply a shame that is in the same strain as Qu Changnegative.

Regarding this decision, Helian Yao's supporters naturally would not object.

But the person standing on Heliansuda's side seemed to be fed by Helianyao? He took a mouthful of dust and ate it? He had to hold his nose and endure it, saying, "The majesty values ​​love and righteousness, and makes decisions. wise".

If they knew that the whole thing was self-directed and self-acted, they would all vomit blood and die suddenly on the spot.

At present, the Nan Rong and Xi Qiang officially launched a war. In addition, the Ying State cooperated with the attack, and Xi Qiang had to fight on two fronts. The previous strategy of "fighting to support war" was difficult to support, and it was losing ground for a while.

However, as Qu Changshou said before, the smooth progress of the war is actually not a happy event.

If Xiqiang was unprepared, and even so vulnerable, would they have boldly come to provoke them at the very beginning?

Nanrong and Yingguo are now comrades-in-arms, Grand Master Song is his grandfather, He Lianyao is his apprentice, and Qu Changlong's information here is more accurate and timely than anyone else.

He pays close attention to it every day, and He Lianyao often comes to discuss it. It seems that the master and apprentice have returned to the old way of getting along with each other. After analyzing and analyzing, he didn't find anything strange for a while.

Until this day, Qu Changping was already planning to go to sleep, leaning on the head of the bed and flipping through a few pages for the last time, when the curtain of the felt bag was lifted suddenly, and a few strands of night wind from outside came in. .

Although the wind is cool, it is no longer there. The bone-scratching chill really has the smell of moist grass and trees.

Jing Qianjiang came in from the outside, still wearing armor.

He moved lightly, and found that Qu Changlu hadn't fallen asleep, so he walked to the bed, bent down and kissed him lightly.

Qu Changlu put down his book, looked up, looked at Jing Qianjiang, and asked, "What happened? What happened? Tell me."

Jing Qianjiang still hesitated, and said, "It's nothing?..."

Qu Chang said: "Okay? If you are usually so busy so late, you are afraid of being disturbed? I will rest, and I won't come here. There must be something wrong now. It just so happens that I have inexplicable insomnia today, and I can't sleep until now. explain."

Jing Qianjiang sat down beside the bed, held his hand and said, "Xiqiang suddenly sent troops, bypassed? Qishan Mountains, and raided Huiyang. I'm afraid the court didn't even have time to get the news."

Western Qiang couldn't break through? It wasn't the first time that Song Taishi's defense line was used to make a surprise attack, but this time the situation was even more serious.

Because they traveled too far and came too fast, and Huiyang had just survived the flood and displaced people, and had not yet fully recovered, so they were powerless to resist.

The guard there should be Qu Xiao who was relegated from the capital now?

Qu Rong stayed in the capital because of her marriage, and was temporarily taken care of by the Song family, while Princess Qingchang and Qu Changqing were in charge together.

When Qu Chang negative heard the news, he was startled at first, but he quickly regained his composure.

His thoughts turned, and he said in a deep voice: "There are traitors in the court!"

Jing Qianjiang said: "I think so too. Otherwise, how could their actions be so precise every time, and their actions are confident, and they can accurately find the most empty place to attack. It's a pity that none of us are in the capital right now, otherwise we can do it? Investigate carefully One time. Looking at that person...he hides very deeply."

Qu Chang said: "The more this is the case, the more it will be the moment when he is exposed."

He sneered: "'There are seven troubles in the country. You think you are holy and wise and don't ask about things. You think you are safe and strong but have no defenses. The neighbors don't know what to do. Warning, the five troubles are also; Loyal people don't believe, and there are six troubles', the words of Mozi must be familiar to the emperor since he was a child, but now it seems that our Majesty is all in vain?"

Jing Qianjiang patted Qu Changshou on the shoulder: "It's beyond the reach of the whip right now, can't control it? He won't think about it for now. In the current situation, what are your plans?"

This time? Qu Chang took a long time without saying a word. Finally, he said slowly, "I want to go? Huiyang."

It must have been a rare hesitation for Qu Zhang, but Jing Qianjiang was not surprised.

He didn't ask Qu Changcheng whether he couldn't let go of the meager father-son relationship when he returned to Huiyang, or was it just for the need of the war, and he didn't persuade the other party. Such sacrifices were not worth it.

He just said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll be with you."

No matter how the other party chooses, he is willing to accompany him happily.

Qu Chang said: "Huiyang is dangerous, but I know that if you hide it or stop you from going with me, it will be in vain. If you want to be together, you can be together, but remember not to take risks at any time. After all, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement. ...after all, it is more important than others."

He has always spoken frankly. If love and hatred are determined? He will not hide it. Jing Qianjiang said with a smile: "You have such a serious attitude, but your words are so beautiful? Don't worry, you must keep it in your heart."

Although Qu Chang was chosen by the emperor to be sent to Nan Rong, but before he left, he had already obtained a very generous treatment for himself, so he could naturally act cheaply. After making a decision, he immediately asked He Lianyao bid farewell.

He Lianyao got up from his seat in shock when he heard that he made a nod.

He blurted out, "Are you leaving again?"

Qu Chang said "huh"?

Helian Yao said: "You, you..."

He originally wanted to ask Qu Chang to stay, but he knew it was impossible, so he changed his words and said, "Can you let me go with you?"

Qu Chang negative said lightly: "You can't leave? Nanrong."

Indeed, a few of them were abolished before? It took a lot of effort to stabilize the situation in Nan Rong. If He Lianyao left at this time?

He Lianyao's excitement was slightly diluted by his indifference, and he said with a wry smile: "It seems that your mind has been decided... I still can't keep you after all? I don't know after such a farewell? I don't know if I will meet again in this life. Opportunity."

Qu Chang said: "It's good that we don't regret each other. It doesn't matter whether we can meet again or not. Majesty, please send someone to prepare the horse."

He really just left as he said, without any regrets.

He Lianyao couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly, settled down, and said in a low voice, "I'll see you off."

Sometimes, he can't even tell which is easier, life or death. When he learned about Qu Chang's accident in his previous life, all thoughts were lost, and he closed his eyes. Is it? This master-student relationship.

But when he came back from the dead, he opened his eyes and saw him again. He tried every means to force and keep him, but in the end they could only be separated again because of all the helplessness in life.

He sent it off again and again, suddenly wishing that he was not the maharaja of Nanrong.

After all, it was Qu Changshou who reined in his horse in front of the vast Qi Shan and said, "Majesty, please go back?"

Helian Yao looked south to the high mountain, and was speechless for a while, feeling the cloaks of the people around him being blown and rustling.

He said softly: "Will your body be able to bear such running around all night?"

Qu Chang said: "No problem."

He Lianyao couldn't help but smiled, and sighed: "As cold as you, it is really consistent and never wavers."

He jumped off his horse, not shying away from the people around him, bent down, bowed deeply to Qu Zhang, and said, "May the trip be smooth, sir! From now on, everything will be as you wish, In good health..."

Having said that, he raised his eyes and saw Qu Changlu sitting on the horseback looking at him, his eyebrows and eyes half-melted in the night.

Under the star-studded sky, his figure is like a dream, lingering and cold.

He Lianyao actually felt a lump in his throat, and felt sore for a moment: "When you settle down in the future, can you send me a letter? Come here? If there is a chance, maybe we can still come and go..."

Qu Changlu sat on the horse's back, lightly lifted the rein, and the fluttering wide sleeves swept past He Lianyao's eyes.

He lightly refused, "That's not necessary."

He Lianyao had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and watched helplessly as the opponent hit the horse, and the mount passed by him without stopping for half a step.

This kind of rubbing shoulders in another life seems to have long been a doomed fate.

When he was losing his mind, something suddenly flew over from the front, and with a "slap", it fell into his arms.

He Lianyao picked it up and saw that it was a newly written notebook.

The above is Qu Changshou's re-editing and commenting on the things he taught in the past. It is very detailed. It must have taken a lot of effort, but I don't know? He was so busy, when did he write it.

——"Gift my apprentice dill".

Every word is pearls, and all the ruthlessness and passion are written.

From here on, from here on.

He did it? No regrets for each other, but they missed each other.

He Lianyao couldn't help but put the book on his chest, and looked up, only to see the green hills.

Xiqiang's sudden attack on Huiyang was something no one expected.

Obviously, under the cooperation of Nanrong and Yingguo, they have been retreating steadily, and they were almost beaten back. The old man went home. He thought that the withdrawal was an expression of admitting defeat, but who knew? It was another I have plans.

Probably for the common people in Huiyang, the luckiest of all misfortunes is that the highest official here is no longer Zhu Chengluan, but Qu Xiao.

Although he was demoted, he didn't know how much better than Zhu Chengluan in terms of ability or experience.

Since coming here, Qu Xiao has been sleeping alone in the study room, sleeping until midnight, when he heard a burst of passionate gongs and drums coming from outside.

First, there were a few sounds of "铛, 铛, 铛", and then, the sound of gongs and drums became more and more dense, as if to wake up the entire sleeping city.

Qu Xiao had already put on his clothes and rushed to the outside, grabbed him casually and asked, "What happened? What happened?"

"My lord, the spies ahead urgently report that there are traces of the Xiqiang army outside the city. The number is around [-], and it is less than [-] miles away from the city?"

Less than eighty miles, then? I'm afraid that after more than an hour, the Xiqiang army will approach the city.

Although 5 people is not a particularly large number, the Xiqiang iron cavalry are brave and brutal, while the soldiers in Huiyang City are neglected to drill and have no ability to resist at all?

This is a clear defeat.

"My lord, shall we... want to fight?"

The guards of the two border cities of Ying Kingdom also encountered the same predicament as Qu Xiao before. One of the two died in battle, and the other abandoned the city without hesitation?

But at that time, the Xiqiang came to need supplies, and secondly, they just wanted to use that area as a temporary military base, so they behaved fairly restrained.

But now they have failed repeatedly, this time they attacked in anger, even if they slaughtered the city, it is not impossible.

He must not leave?.

Qu Xiao paused? Paused, and said word by word: "The order is passed on? There must be no retreat. The current strategy is to fight to the death!"

"My lord... but the troops in the city? Not enough..."

Now, Qu Xiao has calmed down and said: "There are many mountains here, and we can rely on the convenience of the location, but after Huiyang, there is no danger to defend, even if it is to buy time for the court, we can't do it." Back off... you go? Inform Mrs. to pack up her things, and within three sticks of incense, let her take the young master and young lady to leave quickly? Huiyang."

He didn't even have time to go in person? To say goodbye to his family members, just said these few words, other officials in the city also rushed here in disheveled clothes.

"Master Qu, have you heard? Have you seen? The battle report? The Xiqiang people have been killed? They're here!"

Qu Xiao quickly said: "That's right, now is the time for us to work together. Xiqiang must attack the city with the main gates in the east, west and the middle. Now immediately mobilize the available manpower and garrison them separately. After confirming the opponent's main attack direction, we can provide assistance at any time."

He thought about it again: "Also, go quickly? Inform the people who are willing to contribute? Ask them to help prepare stones and boiling water, and transport them to the city for storage."

At this kind of time, those who stay here are prepared to fight to the end, since they don't run, they have to fight, so no one is in the mood to talk, seeing Qu Xiao's orderly arrangement, they all accept orders.

Tongzhi Huiyang, Yan Yun, worked with Zhu Chengluan before, and knew that the old boss was very successful, greedy for money and fame, but he didn't do business at all, and the conflict between the two parties was very deep.

When he heard the battle report just now, he was thinking, if Zhu Chengluan was here today, Huiyang City might be handed over to Xiqiang.

Seeing Qu Xiao's orderly arrangement at this moment, and no panic in his expression, Yan Yun thought to himself that he was indeed a prime minister, and at the same time, some hope was born in his heart.

He couldn't help asking: "Master Qu, are you sure about this battle? I don't know how long it will take for the reinforcements from the imperial court to come over."

Qu Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "What? I'm not sure. Huiyang is so close to Xiqiang, the imperial court probably hasn't even received the battle report, let alone reinforcements?"

He spread out the palms he had been holding tightly: "Before I left Beijing, relying on my past achievements, I had the audacity to ask His Majesty for a military talisman that could mobilize the Anyuan garrison. But before there and here, Across the Qishan mountain range, it is the place where the Xiqiang army marched through, and it is useless for us to have no one who can break through the encirclement and ask for help."

This soldier talisman was actually what he asked for for Qu Changnegative, and it was also a way to ensure that Qu Changnegative could return to the capital safely.

Qu Xiao originally thought that after taking office, he would send someone to send the soldier talisman to Qu Changnegative, but he didn't expect that Qu Changnegative's suspended animation would happen.

Although after a period of inquiring, he could guess that Qu Changlu was not dead, but he couldn't get in touch, so the soldier amulet was still kept in Qu Xiao's hand.But since he didn't intend to use it for himself at the beginning, it is difficult to deploy troops now.

In other words, the outcome of this battle can only be fought by them?

Qu Xiao glanced over the disappointed faces of the people in front of him, and said, "Everyone, I am not a military commander. Like many of you, I have never been on the battlefield or commanded a war. The young Han Chuang ten Only by studying hard can I step into the official career and live above the temple. I don’t want to die, and I know you do the same.”

"But standing here, behind you are the people, the family and the country, and the king's salary. What we can and should do is to defend the city. I will personally stand in front of the battle. For his duty, fight to the end!"

No miracle happened, the soldiers of Xiqiang arrived soon? Looking at the mass of black heads, I am afraid that the number of soldiers is more than [-].

No choice but to kill?

It can be considered that Qu Xiao was quite prescient, because? Due to the previous troubles of refugees, the first thing he did after he took office was to rectify the law and order in the city, check out suspicious persons, and collect money to buy high-quality materials to repair and strengthen? Walls and gates.

In this way, it added a lot of difficulty to the Xiqiang people to attack the city.

The Xiqiang soldiers still used the old routine. Several people carried huge wooden stakes and hit the city gate from all sides. At the same time, there were ladders on the wall to climb upwards.

The soldiers of Ying State were condescending, kept releasing arrows, throwing boulders and pouring hot water to prevent the enemy from breaking into the city.

This kind of method is very effective, but the Xiqiang people have been fighting for a long time, and they are not afraid of death. When the predecessors fell, the descendants immediately stepped up, attacking from every angle, it is simply inexhaustible.

However, Huiyang's defenders were lax in training and had never been through such a big scene. Over time, they would inevitably be in a hurry and their physical strength would be overwhelmed.

Qu Xiao found that his army had a natural sense of fear towards the Western Qiang people.

Whenever a Xiqiang man breaks through the defense line and rushes up, the soldiers will show panic and retreat one after another. It takes a lot of effort to kill him.

So he changed his strategy and ordered a group of people to hold spears and barbed shields to guard on the tower. Whenever they saw Xiqiang people coming up, they would push forward shoulder to shoulder with shields until they were all killed. Squeeze the top of the city.

This method soon achieved miraculous results, and even the common people rushed up one after another, standing on the roof and throwing bricks and stones outside the city, beating the Xiqiang people to death, and the battle was at a stalemate for a while. .

Qu Xiao, as he promised, wore a suit of armor and stood at the forefront of the warlord.

This was the first time he had put on armor. Although he hadn't fought, his body was already stained with blood after a day.

Qu Xiao is usually considered a ruthless person. Didn't his subordinates never die? Human lives, even his own son almost died in his hands.

But until now, looking at the blood and stumps all over the place, he realized for the first time that human life can be? It's so contemptible, and death is so close to him.

Under such circumstances, what came to mind was the Shangyao Rebellion that year, when he threw Qu Changlong into the rebellious army.

What were you thinking at that time?

In fact, for so many years, he has never seen his inner thoughts clearly, and has always been entangled in love and hate.

For a moment, I felt that if I could deceive myself and others, such a life would be good.He loves Song Wan, and he also loves the child he has personally cared for since he was a child. Is it his own? Doesn't matter? It doesn't matter.

But whenever he was about to convince himself, when he felt a little bit of warmth from his daily life, Qu Chang's blood relationship problem was like a poisonous snake curled up in a dark hole, and he didn't know which corner suddenly jumped out and gnawed. heart.

Jealousy and resentment are unbearable, he can't figure out who is in Song Wan's heart, and why? Marrying himself, every little thing will stimulate sensitive nerves.

So Qu Xiao thought, wouldn't it be better if there was no Qu Changsha?

Without this living evidence, he wouldn't need to think about it every day, and he could "live well with Song Wan".

They can? have other children, or it doesn't matter if they don't.

After digging into the corner, it seemed that all the crux of the matter was Qu Changcheng. He frantically wanted to give it a try, but he couldn't make it after several attempts.

Until that time, there was no time to think about what was going on in the chaos, and choosing to take away the sixth prince was actually nothing more than a cruel thing.

Qu Xiao told himself that this was a helpless move, for the purpose of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

Qu Chang negative doesn't need to die by his own hands, as long as he can't be seen again in the future, that's fine.

The child was finally abandoned as he wished, but Qu Xiao was not happy about it. This little figure seemed to exist everywhere in the entire mansion, which made him feel guilty and empty beyond restraint.

So two years later, after Qu Changlu came back, Qu Xiao thought he would be angry and annoyed, but in fact, he was relieved.

At that time, Song Wan was already dead, what's more, there was no meaning. From then on, the relationship between father and son was peaceful, not close, and there were no more conflicts and disputes.

Maybe there is no change in the length of the song, this situation can continue for many years.

He didn't expect it to be so? Over the years, all the entanglement and pain turned out to be a scam. I have to say, this revenge is too cruel.

Now that he clearly realizes that his life is about to come to an end, Qu Xiao can't help thinking of it again? The biggest regret in his life.

Eliminating all external entanglement and hatred, these days, he can often go to miss his eldest son unscrupulously, and think of the purely happy time between father and son when Qu Chang was young.

He was babbling, called Daddy for the first time, learned to walk for the first time...

In fact, even later, when I saw him becoming more and more promising and heard the praises from my colleagues, while I felt apprehensive in my heart, there was also a tinge of relief that I didn't want to admit.

Qu Xiao actually wanted to see Qu Chang negatively again, wanted to apologize to him, and told him that it wasn't that you weren't likable, everything was my fault.

I hope he can get rid of the shadow left by himself and live a good life.

But at present, this is unrealistic after all?

He was thrown into the chaos back then, he was so young, did he see such a scene?How did he survive?

Qu Xiao was engrossed in his thoughts for a moment, and suddenly a cold arrow was shot at him, but he didn't pay attention, and it was only when one of his subordinates rushed over and pushed him away did he regain his senses.

"Sir, are you alright!"

That subordinate supported Qu Xiao to stand up, and was surprised to find that there seemed to be tears in the other's eyes.
