During the unitary period, snowflakes fall from the sky. In October, the first snow of winter has not yet fallen.

After the men and horses of the city entered the deep valley of Lingmiao Peak, two out of ten people lost their way, three out of ten triggered the mechanism, and the remaining 100 people broke into Renshibuya. Bai Chun, Xian'er, Guan Shu, Xue Feng, and Tang Yin heard the sound, and went out to defend and contain the invading people, while Qu Hanyan and Shui Ci guarded Chan'er in the house, quietly breathing.

In half an hour, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and when the sky was getting dark, Chan'er woke up leisurely and opened her eyes.

"You're awake. Seeing this, Shui Ci relieved himself.

Chan'er turned her eyes around the roof beam of the house, and knew that she was back in Shibuya, and she guessed that it was Shui Ci who saved her, so she said softly:

"Thank you. ”

"Guan Shu and they are all fine, you can rest assured. As he spoke, the sound of blades clashing outside the house came and went, and he paused for a moment before adding, "But there is a bit of trouble in the valley, and they are retreating outside. ”

"What's going on......" Chan'er's gaze subconsciously turned to the direction of the window, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Qu Hanyan leaning against the window.

Qu Hanyan and Chan'er glanced at each other, then avoided it, and said while looking at the situation outside the window:

"It's good if you're awake. It's getting dark, and I have to get things sorted out before it gets dark, and I've got to help. ”

Chan'er didn't make a sound, only listened to Shui Ci and said:

"Big brother, your body is not good yet. ”

"After a break, it doesn't matter, I'll do what I can. You protect her. As soon as the words fell, Qu Hanyan rushed out of the door and exchanged hands with the people from the courtyard.

Chan'er was silent for a moment, and then spoke:

"Why is he here? ”

"The eldest brother and the fourth brother took revenge as they wished, and the eldest brother was worried about your safety, so he rushed back. Shui Ci said in his heart, "He did hurt you, but he used his own blood to save you, please don't resent him." ”

No wonder his face was so pale. Chan'er muttered, "You and he are still weak, aren't they?"

"Well, this is the first time I've done this kind of blood injection technique, between being able to heal you and not harming my eldest brother's life, precision and caution are particularly important, and then my arm is out of strength. ”

"Brother Shui, can you help me sit up?"

"Well, slow down. ”

Chan'er sat up and looked out of the window, and could see Qu Hanyan's figure flashing by. Although Chan'er didn't say it explicitly, Shui Ci saw from the worry in Chan'er's eyes that she no longer blamed Qu Hanyan.

The cold wind howled, the snow still showed no sign of stopping, the bleak moonlight reflected the undulating outlines of the Lianshi Mountains, the blood (separator) smell diffused in the air, and the snow white flying in the sky was dyed.

Qu Hanyan was surrounded by five people, and quickly eliminated two people, but he used too much force, and overlapping shadows began to appear in front of him, his consciousness was blurred from time to time, and his feet were also vague, and it was very difficult to deal with the remaining three.

Because it was suddenly dark in front of him, Qu Hanyan couldn't avoid the opponent's long knife, and the blade instantly sank into his chest, and then the two of them added fists and feet, and he who usually had proud skills at this moment, he actually fell in front of three unknown people.

"Lord of the valley. ”

"Big brother!" Bai Chun and Xuan'er exclaimed as they spoke.

"Wait a minute, I'll help my eldest brother come back. Hearing this, Shui Ci nodded to Chan'er and said.

"Be careful yourself. Chan'er didn't know about Qu Han's injury, but no matter what, Shui Ci couldn't do anything anymore.

Seeing Shui Ci flashing out, Chan'er struggled to get out of bed, but she didn't have any strength on her body. She could only stare at the door, hoping for the familiar figures.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a few blinks of an eye, and Qu Hanyan's seriously injured body moved back to the house step by step. Chan'er looked directly at Qu Hanyan's wound, shocked, she quickly searched for healing medicine in her mind, and said repeatedly:

"Snow Ning Pill, Guiyuan Pill, Returning Life Pill, Immortal Wind Dew ......"

"I've eaten it. Qu Hanyan smiled, his voice no longer confident.

Chan'er only felt sad in her heart, and suddenly tears flowed down her eyes.

"Are you ...... Sad for me?"

Chan'er looked at the mortar blood gushing out of Qu Hanyan's body, and couldn't speak for a while.

Qu Hanyan didn't seem to care about his injury, he still moved step by step, stopped on the edge of the bed, turned around and sat down, and said:

"I'm sorry. ”

Chan'er shook her head in the face of Qu Hanyan's side face. Qu Hanyan then said:

"It's not just for this time. Also, I took up too much of my time......"

"Is he okay?"

"Farewell at night, he doesn't know that you are injured, now you must be in Hengguo. When you heal from your injuries, it's up to you to go back to wherever you want. ”

"Big brother. At this time, Shui Ci withdrew from the battle circle and returned to the house.

Qu Hanyan stopped Shui Ci's desire to heal him again, and said:

"Even if you are injured, you will not be able to recover from it...... Don't worry about me. ”

Shui Ci felt pain in his heart, Qu Hanyan was right, and at this moment he only hated himself for being incompetent.

"That's fine, you don't have to worry about me hurting her. Qu Hanyan's breath gradually weakened, and he said with a serious expression, "Seventh brother, no matter what you ...... in the future You can protect her whatever she decides, right?"

"Yes. I will take care of her for the rest of my life. Shui Ci solemnly promised in front of Qu Hanyan.

Qu Hanyan nodded, hesitated for a moment, still didn't say his feelings for Chan'er, and only asked softly:

"If there is an afterlife...... Can you stay with me......"

Chan'er held back her tears and nodded vigorously as an answer.

Qu Hanyan finally turned his head to look at Chan'er, smiled, and then leaned his head on Chan'er's shoulder, and closed his eyes tiredly:

"When, Heart, Original ......"

There was an instant silence in the room. Then, I only heard Chan'er muttering to herself:

"I can take care of myself. The grievances with the Yuan family have been eliminated, and it is a blessing in disguise...... Thank you, thank you......"

The sky outside was shrouded in darkness, and the noise gradually returned to silence.

The snow is falling harder again.

Five days later, Qu Yuehuai returned to Shibuya to preside over Qu Han's funeral. Helian Jialu was worried about Qu Yuehuai, so she came from Tuoba's house and accompanied Qu Yuehuai all day.

Guan Shu was already able to face Helian Jialu calmly, but the scene of the three of them being there at the same time was still embarrassing, so Chan'er proposed that Guan Shu, Tang Yin and Xue Feng go back to Moge to recuperate first, and he would be escorted back to Nanguo by the envoys of the Night Kingdom at a later date.

In the evening of the same day, Qu Yuehuai and Helian Jialu had a rare time alone, Qu Yuehuai led Helian Jialu to the top of Lingmiao Peak, looked at the Lianshi Mountains from afar by moonlight, and looked at the familiar scenery for many years, many memories in Qu Yuehuai's mind kept emerging.

"I still remember the first day I came here, I remember the year when Lian Shibuya made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, and I remember the eldest brother saying that revenge is not a pipe dream, and we can take back our ......home sooner or later," Qu Yuehuai said with sadness in her voice.

"Yes, it was difficult, but you brothers worked together to accomplish the almost impossible. Helian Jialu held Qu Yuehuai's hand and said softly.

"What I originally wanted was to avenge our blood feud with my eldest brother and brother, and then he would be a diligent and reasonable emperor, and I would no longer have to hide in Tibet, I could live a free life, and I didn't even have to do it myself when I was in trouble, as long as the fox and the tiger were under the banner of my brother, how good it would be to be a lazy prince. Qu Yuehuai said and smiled, and there was a deep sadness in his smile, "But I never thought that when the country returned to us, he was gone...... I'm different from my eldest brother, I'm not the emperor's material, and I don't want to take such a heavy burden on my body at all, but I can't live up to the bloodline given by my ancestors, and the eldest brother has put all his heart and soul into it. Jialu, what do you say I should do, what can I do?"

"Maybe everyone has a mission destined to bear, like you and your eldest brother, to seek justice for the Qu family and avenge their families. There is also Chan'er, she is in the blood of the Three Kingdoms, so she can't be heartless and free like me. Helian Jialu comforted Qu Yuehuai in her own way and said, "No matter what the situation in the night country is and what choice you face, I just want you to know that you have never been alone, there was a big brother before, and I will always be with you in the future." ”

Qu Yuehuai stared at Helian Jialu's gentle gaze, her heart was extremely warm, and she couldn't help but embrace Yiren in her arms and hug each other for a long time.

The next day, Helian Jialu accompanied Qu Yuehuai to return to the night to solve the unfinished business. Shui Ci and Chan'er said goodbye to the two on the way, and went to the ancestral land of the original Qu family north of the Lianshi Mountains and east of Yedu, and placed Qu Han's spiritual seat and ashes. Before parting, Qu Yuehuai deliberately took out one of the two jade pendants of the Qu family and handed it to Shui Ci.

"With Yu Pei accompanying my brother, I feel like family by my side. This trip is tiring. Qu Yuehuai said.

"Fourth brother, rest assured. Shui Ci replied, "We will accompany my eldest brother to drink a few jars of good wine and plant the flowers and plants he likes." ”

"A lot has happened in the past six months, thank you princess for bothering to help. I'm sorry for the trouble. Qu Yuehuai said to Chan'er again.

"Brother Yuehuai doesn't need to be so polite. Now I have the blood of Brother Qu in my body, and even Shibuya only has kindness, so why owe it. Chan'er said sincerely.

"Brother Tuoba said that if you go back to Dadu, he will send someone to pick you up at any time. Helian Jialu then said.

"Good. Chan'er nodded, hugged Helian Jialu, and said goodbye.
