Most of the people who came out with Qu Chang were either Qi Hui's secret guards or Jing Qianjiang's subordinates. Coincidentally, both parties have received strict orders from the Lord - they must protect Master Qu, otherwise they will come to see you!

The masters of the two sides dislike each other, and when the two teams get along, they also steal the limelight openly and secretly.

At this time, they were all fighting with Xiqiang soldiers, trying hard to fight for who would protect Master Qu more, when they suddenly heard Xiqiang's request for a hostage exchange, they felt suddenly nervous.

"no!"

"My lord, you must not be impulsive."

Qu Changshou remained motionless amidst the sound of obstacles, and urged his horse to take two steps forward, as if he wanted to see Qu Changqing's expression.

Qu Changqing wanted to cry but endured it, while Qu Changqing's expression was very leisurely, and he asked the person who kidnapped Qu Changqing like a chat: "I heard that men in Xiqiang can have four wives, I don't know if your father married several?"

The other party was annoyed: "What are you talking nonsense about? Hugh has to delay!"

Qu Chang negatively smiled but said: "If it were you, would you sacrifice your life for a younger brother who was not born to the same mother? Don't mention such a ridiculous request, it's stupid."

The people on Xiqiang's side were stunned, Qu Chang's expression had turned cold, and the horse under him seemed to sense his emotions, and took a few steps back and forth.

Qu Chang said coldly: "I have never been threatened by anyone in my life. There are only two choices here. Either, let him go, and you go away alive. Or, tear up the ticket, and all the Xiqiang people will stay and be buried together!"

"you!"

Seeing Qu Chang's negative attitude was so tough, the hearts of the two children went cold.

It was the first time to see a family member being tied up like this, and the Xiqiang people who were holding Qi Lan hostage said angrily: "Do you think we dare not kill?!"

He drew his knife and chopped off Qi Lan directly on the head.

Anyway, they had two hostages. Among them, Qu Changqing was the one who threatened Qu Chang the most, so he planned to kill Qi Lan first as a deterrent.

Seeing that the knife was as bright as snow, Qi Lan had already closed his eyes as he was about to chop off his head.

But what Qu Changlu was waiting for was the moment when the opponent made a move!

Moreover, he had already predicted in his heart that if the Xiqiang people were angry, they would definitely pick up Qi Lan for the knife first. With this posture, the most convenient action for him could only be to draw the knife and behead his head.

It was too late to say it, but almost at the same time, Qu Changlu had already flew up, turned over in the air and rushed to the front of the horse, grabbing the blade with his bare hands.

The severed blade froze in mid-air, and blood gushed out from between his fingers, dripping on Qi Lan's face.

The next one, with a sound of "click", the blade of the blade was unexpectedly broken by Qu Changlu's ingenious force.

Without even a pause in his movements, he directly threw the half of the bloody blade out without blinking, and cut the throat of the man holding Qu Changqing.

Qu Changqing picked up Qi Lan by the back collar, threw him out, and said "run", then he leaped back in the air on the saddle, kicked the dead man behind Qu Changqing off the horse's back, and fell down by himself. At that time, he was already sitting firmly behind Qu Changqing.

Although Qi Lan is a child, but he grew up in the palace, and he just came out of the ghost gate, so he is very clever, and he was not frightened under such circumstances.

After being thrown out by Qu Changlu, he rolled on the ground, got up and ran immediately, and was quickly carried on the horse by a prince's secret guard.

Until then, he dazedly wiped away the blood spattered on his face, which still felt warm.

A person who is so cold, his blood is so hot, it was so hot that it almost burned him at the moment of life and death just now.

Qu Chang negative said coldly: "I told you, I've never been threatened by anyone."

Suddenly, the hostages were rescued, and both sides were stunned at the same time. Qu Changsheng had already ordered: "Don't love to fight, all retreat!"

Qu Changqing sat in Qu Chang's arms, resting his head on his chest, only then did he feel an extreme sense of security.

He glanced at the blood-stained reins, and said involuntarily, "Brother, your hand—"

Qu Chang negatively frowned, and his tone when talking to him was no less gentle than facing the enemy: "I can't die, shut up."

The child doesn't understand anything, but he knows very well in his heart that the current situation is actually more dangerous.

The Xiqiang troops are strong and powerful, just now they were trying to cover up the arrest of the child, not daring to disturb them, now that the hostages have been taken away, it will cause them to call their companions to pursue without any scruples.

It is safe to go back to the city as quickly as possible.

Qi Hui's hidden guards stopped and said, "My lord, you leave first, we will stop."

Qu Changshou had dealt with them in his previous life, and knew that these people were agile and good at escaping and hiding, so he didn't refuse, he just said: "Don't be fond of fighting, be more careful."

The group of people galloped forward for a while, and after turning into a forest, Qu Changlu stopped the horse and said, "Let's also divide into two groups. You take the children and go back to the city first, and I will lure the Xiqiang people away." .”

Naturally, everyone disagreed with him doing this, but no one could change Qu Chang's mind. After all, this was the best arrangement at the moment. In desperation, he had no choice but to obey.

On the other side of Huiyang City, shortly after Qu Changlu left, Qu Xiao returned to the mansion, and soon heard about it.

Qu Changqing and Qi Lan were kidnapped, and Qu Changlu led people to rescue them in person!

At that time, he felt his heart sinking, turned around and went out of the city.

The subordinate hurriedly said: "My lord, you..."

Qu Xiao said: "Go and tell Lord Yan that if I don't come back, he will be in charge of the affairs of the city for the time being, and wait for His Highness King Jing to return to take charge of the overall situation."

Hearing what he said was the same as explaining the future, the subordinates panicked in their hearts, and tried to persuade him: "My lord, the young master has already gone to save the second young master. If you go again, all three of us will be in danger. The young master has With that kind of ability, you can save people and protect themselves, the people in this city depend on you, so you should stay."

Qu Xiao shook his head and said: "As an official, I should devote myself to everything, but I am also a father, and my children are all in danger..."

His voice was hoarse for some reason: "I can never leave them behind."

Sure enough, as Qu Changshou expected, after the hostages in his hands were taken away, the Xiqiang people fought back frantically. After chasing them all the way, the number of people besieged increased sharply, which was no longer something their subordinates could compete with.

The entire forest was almost surrounded, and Qu Changlu led his men to rush out. As he ran wildly, he drew his bow and shot three arrows, instantly killing the three of them.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in Xiqiang retreated in fear and did not know the situation, he had already rode his horse and led the crowd towards the west gate on the other side of Huiyang.

Along the way, blood splattered everywhere, corpses lay everywhere, the sound of horse hoofs knocked on the wilderness, and also on the armor of the dead soldiers.

This area was full of violent winds and sandstorms, and it was because of this that the army of Song Taishi and others had difficulty in discerning their direction, and they disappeared for more than half a month.

But this time, with pursuers behind, Qu Changlu hoped that the gust of wind would help them escape.

The group fought and retreated. He observed the surrounding terrain and was thinking about the formation and route in his mind, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the front.

Everyone has become a frightened bird, thinking that they are being surrounded, they all have serious expressions.

But at a glance, the person who came turned out to be Qu Xiao who led his troops to meet them.

Qu Chang negative saw him suddenly, he was very surprised, and his tone was also very aggressive: "Why are you out of the city?"

Qu Xiao said: "Come to meet you, hurry up."

Qu Zhang negative frowned, and said coldly: "It's superfluous. If I needed you, I wouldn't have come by myself just now. It's not easy to keep Huiyang City up to now. If no one in the city is in charge of the overall situation, I'm afraid there will be chaos!"

With his usual temperament, even if there was fire in his heart, he would not have expressed it so bluntly, but facing Qu Xiao, it was always easy to think of past grievances.

Forbearance until this time to speak harshly, Qu Zhang has already cultivated the city's deep cultivation.

With the support of the people brought by Qu Xiao, they quickly broke through and galloped towards Huiyang.

The more dangerous the situation is, the more it reminds me of the feeling of leaving Qu Changcheng behind and riding his horse away. Qu Xiao felt sour, and whispered: "I am the father..."

"I don't have a father anymore."

Qu Changlu interrupted him and said flatly: "When I was five years old, I lost my father."

It's not that he didn't recognize Qu Xiao, and it's not that he didn't miss his father's love, but all the warmth and happiness stayed on the day when he drank the first bowl of poison when he was five years old.

From then on, the poison penetrated deep into the bone marrow, turned into a disease, became a prison in his heart, and entangled with him until death.

Whether it is life or injury, it all comes from the same person.

Qu Xiao's hand holding the rein trembled, the pain in his heart was unbearable, in a trance, he felt that he had no strength in his whole body, and almost fell off the bumpy horse's back.

He didn't speak anymore, Qu Changlu didn't bother to speak, and the father and son fell into silence.

When they arrived outside Huiyang City, they dared not open the city gate because they were being chased urgently, so they ordered the city to half-lower the suspension bridge and file in.

Qu Changlu jumped off the horse, his legs went limp, he almost lost his footing, and hastily knelt down on one knee on the ground.

He startled the others all of a sudden, and hurried over to help.

It is really that Qu Chang negative acted too tough, as if all kinds of difficulties could be easily solved by him, so that others ignored his physical condition.

He fought on the battlefield for more than an hour before, and before he even had time to take a sip of water, he went to chase and rescue people, and his spirit was always in a state of high tension.

This kind of intensity is unbearable even for normal people, not to mention that Qu Changlu is weak and has never been able to bear it. It is all due to his perseverance that he can survive until now.

Qu Xiao felt a pain in his heart, originally wanted to help him, but was afraid of making Qu Chang negative emotional again, so he still didn't go forward after all.

If it wasn't for those medicines back then, Qu Chang negative wouldn't have become like this.

Since when has the distance between father and son been as far as the sky?

Qu Xiao recalled that when Qu Chang was young, he often kissed and hugged him, taught him to read and write, and lifted him up to sit on his shoulders when watching temple fairs.

The father and son applauded and laughed while watching the fun. When he was healthy, Qu Changcheng would run around like an ordinary child.

This is his own child, but now, he doesn't even dare to step forward to help the other party when he is unwell.

He just felt like a knife was twisting in his heart, and he would find it unbearable to even look at Qu Changsheng's current appearance a few more times.

Qu Xiao lowered his head sadly, and followed behind at a certain distance.

However, at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a silver light flash on the left side, and something flew towards him, and it was Qu Changnegative who had just regained his footing!

At that moment, before he had time to think about anything, he rushed up and hugged his son.

It was with great difficulty that Qu Changlu stood firm. In fact, he hadn't slowed down yet, but he just held on because he didn't want to show weakness in front of others.

Being hugged by Qu Xiao so suddenly, he was caught off guard, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Such physical contact made his first reaction be disgust: "You—"

Before the next words could be spoken, Qu Chang negative felt his hand full of blood.

At that moment, his mind was completely blank.

Qu Chang negative quickly sat up straight, and supported Qu Xiao with his backhand, and saw that there was an arrow stuck in his back, the wound was so deep that it almost disappeared into the tail feathers.

Seeing the injury, Qu Chang lost his heart.

His lips moved, and the mouth shape he made subconsciously was the word "father", but the sound was not made after all.

Qu Chang negative quickly tapped the acupuncture points around Qu Xiao's wound, and performed some emergency treatment for the arrow wound, but it seemed to have little effect.

He watched the blood dripping from Qu Xiao's lips, stretched out a hand, and grabbed his arm forcefully.

Yu Wen, who was hugged tightly just now, still exists on the shoulders.

He only felt a sense of sadness mixed with resentment, rushing straight to his heart, which only made people unstoppable.

Qu Zhang negative grabbed Qu Xiao, and said bitterly: "For so many years, you have deliberately harmed me, and you didn't treat me as a son... What kind of drama is playing a deep father's love now! Do I need you to block arrows? ?eventful!"

Qu Xiao kept coughing, and let Qu Chang negative scold him, but just raised his head and stared at him fixedly, not even willing to blink.

Qu Chang said: "If you die, do you have the face to go down to see my mother? Do you dare to tell her what you... what you did? You—"

Qu Xiao raised his hand tremblingly, and touched Qu Changying's head.

Qu Chang's voice suddenly stopped.

Qu Xiao softly said: "I've wanted to do this for a long time, son, it's dad who is sorry for you. I'm sorry."

Qu Changlu wanted to push his hand away, but when he saw Qu Xiao's sleeve slipped off his arm, revealing an old scar, he suddenly lost his strength.

The flow of time seemed to be slowing down, the shouts of killing around became blurred and distant, and the wind on the battlefield was whistling, as if penetrating through the long time, sweeping over the past that was almost forgotten.

When he was young, he was in poor health, and people around him were very cautious. His mother always spoiled him too much. When the weather was bad, he was not allowed to go out and run around at will.

While his mother was away, his father often sneaked him out to play.

The wind in winter is very cold, but the ice and snow in winter, covered with snow, is extremely beautiful. He ran on the ice while stepping on the snow, accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground, and almost fell on a piece of ice.

It was his father who came over in time and covered him with his body. He lay on his father's chest and saw a big cut on the other's arm, and his sleeve was stained red with blood.

He was so frightened that he wanted to cry, but Qu Xiao raised Qu Chang's hands and said with a smile, "By the way, you have to run forward like this to be like my son! No matter where you run, Dad will I can catch you!"

When Mother returned home and saw Father's wound, her heart ached so badly, but Qu Xiao told her with a smile that he accidentally fell on the road, and when Song Wan was not paying attention, he quietly blinked at Qu Chang .

This is a little secret between the two of them, and the scar has always remained on Qu Xiao's arm.

This is the father who once told him, "No matter where you run, dad can catch you".

Today, he rushed up again.

Time seems to overlap, but how can we forget everything that happened before?

Pretending not to care, but after all, it can't be regarded as nothing happened.

Qu Xiao also saw this scar, and tears filled his eyes instantly.

His body was cold, his consciousness was gradually blurred, and he could feel his life being drained from his body bit by bit.

Everything is so chaotic and unreal, Qu Xiao's eyes flashed blankly, suddenly he couldn't figure out how all the things developed to the point where they are today.

"son."

His eyes could no longer see clearly, and he didn't know whether it was an illusion or reality, Qu Xiao felt that Qu Chang's hand was shaking, so he was very distressed.

He held Qu Changying's hand, preventing him from channeling his inner strength: "I, I have never hated you... You have always been a proud child, it was me... just a single thought..."

Qu Chang's body shook and he clenched Qu Xiao's hand tightly, but he clearly felt that the strength holding him suddenly disappeared.

An unfinished sentence becomes an eternal farewell.

Qu Changlu didn't feel particularly sad, he clearly saw a tear flow down the corner of Qu Xiao's eye, but his eye socket was very dry and there was no tear at all.

As I said before, Qu Xiao is no longer a father in his mind, and there is no need to feel heartbroken for the other party's departure.

He has always been cruel, if he said he didn't care, he just didn't care.

It's just that I won't call him dad anymore, and I won't shed tears for him anymore.

But at this moment, my heart is empty, as if a big hole has been leaked a long time ago, and I took some broken materials to block the hole at that time. Although I hate it, it is better than nothing.

Now, even the broken material that can barely cover the hole has been rotted away, and all the coldness in the world seeps in through the hole, and the frozen people's limbs and bones can't help but feel shivering.
