Chapter 392: The Remnant

But I don't want to...... Zhou Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh heavily when he thought of this, but his sigh was blown away in the middle of the night, in this howling north wind. The north wind was like a blade, smashing their heads and faces at them, without mercy. Whether he wanted to go back to the city, or he wanted to go desperately to find Qi Lu, he was blocked, and right now, it was the limit that they could save their lives, and where did they have the spare strength to find someone.

Zhou Ziqiu has lived for more than 30 years, and this is the first time he has really seen blood.

In Zhou Ziqiu's view, no matter how heinous that person is, he is also born and raised by his parents, and it is also a life. He would rather let the man sit through the prison than betray him and be executed.

But today, he saw his subordinates die in front of him.

And it's the kind of death that is still jumping alive in front of him one moment, but the next moment it suddenly pierces the heart.

At that moment, Zhou Ziqiu was afraid, panicked, and chaotic, his subordinates were naturally no better, compared to the Qi family's guards, he was in chaos almost instantly with dozens of errands. Two hours after that, Zhou Ziqiu now thinks back that his brain is also confused.

Qi Lu strategized, and the Qi clan guards were all strictly guarding one side, even if they were pierced by sharp arrows, they all fell silently, and none of them shouted like the messengers.

On the other hand, the sound of panic and pain almost shook his ears, and in the end, Qi Lu glanced at them coldly, and then rushed out of the encirclement with his guards regardless of the rain of arrows. They were gone, and the villains who were hiding in the shadows were gone. Zhou Ziqiu thought that Qi Lu regarded them as a burden. In the end, he abandoned them, and only later did he understand when he saw that the surroundings were quiet. Qi Lu led the danger to himself, and then took the danger away, leaving him with life.

At that moment, all the unwillingness and resentment in Zhou Ziqiu's heart disappeared, and some were just the astringency of the empty heart.

"My lord, shall we go back to the city first?" Seeing that Zhou Ziqiu didn't speak for a long time, the messenger finally asked what he expected in his heart with fear. At this time they returned to the city. Although the wounds were serious, those people were afraid that they would lose their lives. But most people still have a chance to save their lives, if they don't come back? The officers looked around at the darkness, and in the darkness there were monsters they didn't know about. Maybe the next moment. The monster will jump out. Swallow them in one gulp. So the officers were really scared, scared.

They want to live, they want to go back to the city. Even if you know that returning to the city in the dark and windy like this, the result will be more than lucky, but people are like this, and the fear of the unknown seems to always be more frightening. They would rather die on the way back to the city than stay here without knowing anything...... Zhou Ziqiu was silent again, and only the whistling wind could be heard in his ears.

In the wind, there seemed to be a person's roar, and Zhou Ziqiu didn't know if he had misheard the wind for a person's cry of pain. But he knew in his heart that he couldn't go back.

just ran away in such a gray and sloppy way, in this life, he was uneasy.

"Brothers, Second Master Qi led the enemy away regardless of life and death, if we only care about our own lives like this, we are alive, and it is difficult to have peace of mind in this life. If you are afraid, you can turn around and go back to the city, and if it is a man's, go with your own officials to suppress the bandits. The righteousness that Zhou Ziqiu said was awe-inspiring, even the wind, and it failed to blow his voice away.

Officers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Zhou Ziqiu together, this county magistrate is not majestic on weekdays, he is timid and afraid of things, even the rich families in Yecheng dare to show off their power in front of Zhou Ziqiu. But at this moment, in the wind, in the darkness, Zhou Ziqiu's voice was loud.

Of course, they are men, and they also know in their hearts that if Qi Lu is really killed, what awaits them is also fate, the city lord is dead, and his subordinates are alive, there is no such reason in this world.

It's just that his own county magistrate is a timid and afraid of things on weekdays, but he didn't expect that today, he would be able to say such bold words. Not to mention, it sounds really refreshing. Instead of fleeing back to a humiliated death, it is better to fight with the gangsters.

Their relatives are all in the city, and if they are wronged by the wicked, are they still men?

"I'll be at your disposal." The errand officers finally said in unison. Zhou Ziqiu suddenly felt a wave of anger in his heart, what he wanted in his life was the word 'stability'. When the officials seek stability, the people seek stability in their lives, and they also seek to survive the drought and flooding in a safe way. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to do such a flesh-and-blood thing in his life.

Even if he dies, his life is not in vain.

"The lightly injured brothers stay behind to take care of the seriously injured brothers, and when the day comes, you hurry back to the city and tell the brothers in the city that you must repair the city walls as soon as possible." Zhou Ziqiu commanded in a very fast tone, then clenched his fists, and then took a long step and rushed into the night.

The officers moved quickly.

A moment later, dozens of errand officers who could still go into battle also rushed into the night and chased after Zhou Ziqiu.

***

Yecheng, Qi's new house.

“…… Extermination, the remnants of the Qi clan. Quan Sheng never knew that he could say such powerful and majestic words.

It seems that from childhood to adulthood, he grew up under the stern gaze and nagging of his mother's eldest sister. No matter what he does, the eldest sister will definitely pick and choose, and the mother will definitely sigh and echo the eldest sister. So Quan Sheng spoke more and more carefully. In front of outsiders, the son of the Quan family is a humble gentleman, but Quan Sheng himself knows that it is just for outsiders to see, but in fact, his nature is cowardly.

If it weren't for his cowardly nature, how could he really marry Xie Yu in the end.

He clearly knew Xie Yu's true face.

Obviously knowing that all this is Xie Yu's calculation, the so-called 'raw rice cooked rice' is also Xie Yu's desperate bet. As long as he gritted his teeth and didn't nod his head no matter what, he wouldn't marry a woman like Xie Yu and enter the door, and his life would not be so aggrieved.

However, in front of the eldest sister, he didn't dare to speak.

In the end, this family affair was finalized by the eldest sister.

In fact, what Quan Sheng hates most is not Xie Yu, who married him, nor his eldest sister and mother, who have always pointed fingers at him, but ...... Qi Lu.

People are like that. There will always be comparisons in his heart, and he can't help but compare Xie Yu and Xie Ke in his heart. Others will naturally compare him with Qi Lu. The final verdict is...... Xie Ke is a descendant, and the dowry is like a mountain. Xie Yu's concubine is shabby.

Xie Ke has a gentle temperament, Xie Yu is weak on the outside and dark on the inside.

Compared with each other, Xie Yu is not as good as Xie Ke. And he and Qi Lu, whether it is their background or temperament, or even the gentlemanly charm he is proud of, are not worth mentioning in front of Qi Lu.

Qi Lu is obviously reckless. But because of his background. Because of the emperor's preference, such a character can even be said to be maverick and unruly. It's obviously evil, but it's broken into good. Where can Quan Sheng swallow this breath.

It's just that his background is very different from Qi Lu. What if you are unwilling to be angry.

It's easy to get a chance this time...... How could he let go of this opportunity to be ashamed. What's more, there are capable people to help. He felt that this was a God-given opportunity. Naturally, they will hold on tightly. Xu has endured it for too long. After Quan Sheng said the word 'extermination', he only felt comfortable, and there was a faint feeling of fluttering immortals.

It's just that......

Why did he release such cruel words. Xie Ke not only did not panic, but there was a little obvious ...... in his gaze Commiseration.

Commiseration?

Quan Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, it was indeed pity. At this time, Xie Ke no longer had a calm and peaceful face just now, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be slightly raised. The originally beautiful face, because of this small change, brought out a bit of Qi Lu's anger.

As if his words were ridiculous.

"Extermination? Remnant? Gongzi Quan, are you talking nonsense? Xie Ke finally spoke, but his heart became more and more unclear because of Quan Sheng's words, but if she loses, she will not lose the battle, if she loses in the hands of Quan Sheng, the suffering in her previous life will really be in vain.

Who is Quan Sheng, she will not know?

The fox is fake and mighty, timid as a mouse, and has a paranoid personality, but he pretends to be a gentleman.

Hell gentleman, he can say this, and he thinks it's desperate. And what Xie Ke is most afraid of is that she can't find someone to make a move, which makes Xie Ke anxious, imagine that Yecheng is in a mess, but she doesn't know who made the move. That's really bad.

At this time, Quan Sheng stood up by himself, but it was really as Xie Ke wished.

Whether it's Qi Lu or her, they won't be stupid enough to put all their eggs in one basket.

Qi Lu has Qi Lu's dependence, and she has her dependence. Extermination? These were really the two most ridiculous words Xie Ke had ever heard. If you want to 'exterminate' her and Qi Lu, how easy is it?

"Xie Ke, you don't think Qi Lu can come back safely, I'll tell you the truth...... Outside the city, his 'old friend' is waiting for him. Do you still remember the north, remember the Beichen Pass? "Quan Sheng dared to appear in front of Xie Ke, dared to tell everything bluntly, and dared to say the word 'extermination', so he naturally prepared a backhand.

But right now, he is full of unwillingness.

It's really not fun to force Xie Ke to comply...... He wanted to see Xie Ke fall and collapse in front of him, and it was best to prostrate himself at his feet and beg for mercy.

He will always remember the first time Xie met him, and Xie Ke looked at him.

Cold, indifferent, and a little sarcastic. It was as if she was Youlan who grew up on the top of a towering mountain, but he was the poor scholar who could only look up at the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain. The difference between clouds and mud almost instantly shattered Quan Sheng's humble demeanor, shattered the gentlemanly charm he relied on to maintain, and now, she has finally fallen into his hands.

He was finally able to show off his might in front of Xie Ke, and Quan Sheng was naturally unwilling to end up in a few words.

So he deliberately said the northern border and said the Beichen Pass. He wanted to make Xie Ke frightened and break through her heart's defenses...... Xie Ke really looked surprised.

Then he suddenly spoke.

"Beichen Pass...... Zhuge Hong. "It's not an interrogative sentence. Xie Ke uttered the name almost instantly. Xie Ke's reaction really surprised Quan Sheng.

"I can't imagine that the young lady is so smart-minded." This is the default.

Xie Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that talking to Quan Sheng was really a sad thing, not that Quan Sheng was difficult to deal with, on the contrary, it was too simple to deal with Quan Sheng, so simple that Xie Ke couldn't arouse any interest.

In the northern border of Nuoda, if you talk about Qi Lu's enemy, I am afraid that in the end, there is only one Zhuge Hong, who has never faced the enemy head-on. After they left the north, the little uncle Chu Ye also took a lot of trouble to find this person, after all, this person still had a lot of soldiers in his hands, and those soldiers were brought out by him, and he was very loyal to him, so loyal that he would rather betray the Great Wei for the sake of Zhuge Hong, the main general, and did not hesitate to collude with the enemy, let the northern mob enter the customs, and kill the people of the Great Wei.

It's just that Zhuge Hong's ability to hide is really good.

The little uncle searched for more than a year, but found no trace of him.

Now it seems that Zhuge Hong may have secretly left the northern border at that time and quietly lurked into the hinterland of Great Wei.

As for why he appeared in Yecheng at this time?

The rebellion in the north was finally quelled in the hands of Qi Lu. Naturally, Qi Lu ruined Zhuge Hong's good deeds. In the north, Zhuge Hong failed to take Qi Lu's life, and when Qi Lu returned to the capital, the time, the location, and the people, he did not occupy the same, so it was naturally even more inconvenient to make a move.

As for the South......

Qi Lu walked quietly, Zhuge Hong got the news later, and he couldn't judge Qi Lu's whereabouts for a while.

Only Yecheng, only in Qi Lu's fiefdom, Zhuge Hong will not be empty. And it seems very logical for him to find Quan Sheng.

In Yecheng, it seems that only Quan Sheng is suitable for cooperating with Zhuge Hong.

It's just that everyone has forgotten that Qi Lu is not a bully at all, Zhuge Hong, Qi Lu has always kept it in mind, and if he doesn't get rid of it for a day, it will be like a stalk in his throat, how can Qi Lu be defenseless? As for Kwon Sheng...... It's not that Xie Ke doesn't look down on him, it's really this person, who always feels good about himself and always feels that he is capable, but the fact is that he really has nothing to do with it except for a face that can still be seen.

As for his proud handsome face, in front of Qi Lu, he didn't look at it.

So he is not angry, he is angry, he is resentful, so he will be easily explained by Zhuge Hong in a few words. Together with Zhuge Hong, he wanted to destroy the Qi Mansion in one fell swoop, and at the same time destroy Qi Lu...... "General Zhuge has never forgotten the 'great kindness' of the second master, and he is looking for an opportunity to repay it together." ”

Quan Sheng said coldly.

Xie Ke's reaction made him unhappy, he thought of the word "long dreams" at night, thinking that it was better to cut through the mess quickly, with Xie Ke's mother and daughter in hand, it was not only a good handle to restrain Qi Lu, but also to restrain Zhuge Hong.

After all, he and Zhuge Hong have known each other for a short time, and if that person turns his face and is ruthless, he will always have something to rely on.

The people in his hands were also quietly arranged by Zhuge Hong, and only by taking down Xie Ke's mother and daughter could he be sure that he was true and invincible.

"The young lady still tied her hands and took it down, so as not to hurt the harmony."

Until this time, Quan Sheng even put on that polite face. Xie Ke was silent, and Yuhui, who had always been on the side, finally couldn't help but scold. "Quan Sheng, what kind of thing are you, you dare to beat the idea of the young grandmother. You're just a dog raised by the emperor, what's your use except barking casually?

You are a dog and a dog, and the dog is a good protector.

But what about you, you actually colluded with Zhuge Hong...... Intended to murder Zhongliang. That Zhuge Hong was wanted by His Majesty himself. Your collusion with the traitor is tantamount to rebellion...... This is a great sin for the Nine Clans.
