Ling Xueji cried even harder when she heard this sentence, she squeezed and released the fist of her right hand, changing between fist and palm, the dam of self-restraint finally burst, she stood on tiptoe and hugged it The man's neck was buried between the collarbone and wept loudly.

Qu Quan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the two guards who were still there in embarrassment. The two brothers still felt a biting cold, struggled for a while, and watched silently. To the back of the palace gate.

Without the interference of others, Qu Quan stretched out his hand and hugged Ling Xueji up.Ling Xueji was still a little sad at first, and she took the initiative in front of others, Qu Quan actually had to push others away before she was willing to hug her back, but this hug directly confused Ling Xueji, she wanted to hug her Hug, no, I didn't expect this kind of hug!Ling Xueji hurriedly went to see where the guards were, and saw that the two of them had concealed themselves very well, and when he went to see the driver of the carriage, he had already run behind the carriage, not knowing what pancakes he was eating.Only then did she understand Qu Quan's motive for what she did just now, and she was so ashamed that she didn't know what to do.

Qu Quan took a few steps, due to the sudden exertion just now, coupled with too much emotional fluctuation, the wound started to scream again inappropriately, a burst of dizziness hit, Qu Quan took two steps off his feet, and his arms were still firmly hugging Ling Xueji.But Ling Xueji was frightened by her blow, and hurriedly struggled to get down, shouting: "You are still injured, let me down!"

"There are not a few more steps." Qu Quan ignored her struggle, and insisted on hugging her to move forward. Ling Xueji was planning to struggle, but stopped after seeing Qu Quan's pale lips, and was obediently carried by Qu Quan to the front of the carriage. .

Going up, Qu Quan could only feel helpless, the coachman over there seemed to have finally returned to this world, moved the pedals, helped Qu Quan go up first, and then helped Ling Xueji.The two of them sat down together in the carriage, and then they were ready to leave with their whips in their hands, but Ling Xueji stopped them.

"Brother Zhou, my lord is injured today. Let the horse run slowly. It doesn't matter if you take a long detour. Try to choose a flat road. It's okay to climb home."

The coachman called Big Brother Zhou nodded with a clear smile, sat firmly on the frame, and whipped his horse.Ling Xueji felt relieved, while Qu Quan watched and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?!" Ling Xueji snorted, "It should make your wound burst."

"It's worth it." Qu Quan looked serious.

Ling Xueji looked at her sadly, "Aren't you going to tell me what happened now? How did you make yourself like this?"

Qu Quan paused, and succinctly told what happened in the hall today.Ling Xueji immediately missed the point, "You mean that the son-in-law was given to death, and Huo Yuan was just demoted? You didn't report the officials involved in the case?"

"The officials involved in the case can't be burned out, just like nails on a wooden board. If you smash it down, the board will shatter. Only by drawing them one by one, can they be cleared away. " Qu Quan analyzed it patiently for her, followed Ling Xueji's instructions, the coachman was indeed driving very slowly and smoothly today, which restored her spirits, and she leaned on the seat and talked with Ling Xueji.

"Then why did you let Huo Yuan go?" After Ling Xueji finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, "Did Sister-in-law Wei do something wrong?"

Qu Quan nodded, "Once Huo Yuan subdue the law and Wei Yueyan's reputation plummets, she will definitely try her best to protect Huo Yuan. If it were me, I would do the same."

"Then why are you still risking your life to kill the son-in-law? You let so many people... just to kill a son-in-law, just like that...it's not worth it." Ling Xueji was a little sad, more of a heartache.She practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she naturally knew that Qu Quan's forehead was still bleeding with such a thick bandage, how serious the injury was.There are many nerves on the face, and if you are not careful, it will affect other organs, and it is very likely to cause sequelae.Thinking about Qu Quan's determination at the time, it is really a miracle that he survived the collision.

"But I don't care."

"Money, power, even the trust of the emperor, if you lose anything, you can earn it back." Qu Quan smiled lightly, and even she herself was shocked by the calmness of this moment.Perhaps only by truly experiencing the boundary between life and death, can one know what is the only thing one should guard in this life.

"But if you lose your heart, you can never get it back."

Ling Xueji lowered her head. From Qu Quan's point of view, her face was a little bulging. I don't know what she was thinking. After a while of silence, Ling Xueji raised her head, as if she was doing something important. Decided, he locked Qu Quan's face tightly with his eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

Since ancient times, beauties have admired heroes. From childhood to adulthood, Ling Xueji had hoped that her future lover would be a majestic hero who saved the world.In her memory, civil servants are always huddled in a small room, talking about the world on paper with empty words, never making any real achievements.However, today she realized how outrageously wrong she was.In the story of giving up one's life for righteousness for the country and the people, there is also a place for literati.

Willing to stain the court hall with green blood, how can pity the world not be a husband?Such Qu Quan is exactly the person she longs for in her heart.

She stared at Qu Quan fixedly, her heart racing.

—— "Quan'er has had a hard time walking this road. I hope there is someone who can walk with her. Xueji, would you like to?"

Yes, I have seen it.

This road is really difficult to walk, dark clouds cover the sun, thorns are everywhere, and endless crises are hidden under the night, but she only has a heart lamp, how can she walk alone without a weapon?

I am willing to accompany her to face the wind and rain together, to accompany her all the way and never leave.

Even if you are not ready for this moment, then I am willing to wait.I hold your hand firmly, waiting for the day you hold it back.

--------------

The carriage arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Qu Quan got out of the carriage with Ling Xueji's support.Ling Xueji was about to walk forward, when suddenly someone grabbed her hair in a bun, "Don't move."

Qu Quan's voice came from behind her ears, Ling Xueji stopped obediently, the handle of the hairpin on her bun lightly scratched her scalp, causing a slight itchy feeling, and scratched all the way to the bottom of her heart. "Okay." The man smiled lightly at her, Ling Xueji stroked the tidy bun, and thanked her softly.

Qu Quan was about to pull people in, when he casually glanced at the door and found that the two gatekeepers did not stick to their positions but coaxed a ten-year-old girl beside him.

The little girl was kneeling there stubbornly, but when she saw Qu Quan and Ling Xueji approaching, she immediately wanted to stand up, but it was already summer, and the sun was very poisonous. Jin Xing, her body softened and knelt back.

Qu Quan had just experienced this feeling, so he immediately sent people to get water and medicine, and after all the tossing, the little girl woke up slowly.

"Let's go when you wake up, I have no shortage of servants here." Qu Quan said coldly.

Now that she has lost the favor of the emperor, she will soon be unable to support herself, how can she support others.The dignified minister of the Ministry of punishment is finally going to live a poor life.

The little girl ignored Qu Quan's order to chase away guests, instead she stood up straight in front of her, with a stubborn expression on her face: "Master Qu killed his son-in-law, which shows that Master Qu is not a cold-blooded person. I want to rely on you and do things for you. "

Qu Quan was a little surprised by these words, she had no choice but to face up to the girl in front of her.Judging from the amount of information contained in her words, she has already collected a large amount of information before she took this seemingly simple action today, and she has enough courage to say such words, perhaps A little arrogant, but definitely impressive.

"You are the orphan of the cannibal case." Qu Quan said a declarative sentence.

"Yes, my mother was arrested and had her younger brother cut open. I saw my mother at the body claim." The girl nodded and replied, not calmly like a ten-year-old child.

Qu Quan pondered for a moment, and said, "How do you want to do things for me?"

"I want to be the same as Lord Qu." The little girl raised her head and said seriously, "Study hard, study hard, pass the imperial examination and become an official, and help you."

Qu Quan smiled indifferently, "Impossible."

The little girl finally got a little anxious, and looked annoyed, "Why?!"

Qu Quan glanced at her coldly, and replied in an inexplicable tone: "Because you are a daughter."

"Why?!" The little girl was really angry now, but she tried her best to restrain herself, "Why can Master Shang Shu, as a woman, be able to study and even be an official, but I can't?!"

This time even Ling Xueji followed suit by nudging Qu Quan with her elbow, signaling her not to hurt the little girl too much.

Qu Quan gave Ling Xueji a measured look, took two steps forward and squatted down, and said to the little girl earnestly, "Because this world is still harsh on women."

"The road you chose is destined to be a difficult road, cold and lonely. Once you step on it, you can never turn back. You are still young."

"No." The girl raised her head, her eyes gleaming with determination, "I have already thought about it, Mr. Shang Shu."

Qu Quan was stunned for a moment, first he shook his head, then his face was covered with frost that turned into spring water.

"No regrets?"

The girl's voice seemed to overlap with a voice from four years ago, all in unison.

"No regrets."
