016. Swim in the lake

Shen Lan saw Xue Yun and Hu Qing, hurriedly stood up and ran towards them, Xue Yun took two steps forward, and saw that her face was so pale that there was almost no blood, and her originally weak body was getting thinner and thinner, so she hugged her in her arms in distress, lowered her head and whispered: "Lan'er, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine, Brother Yun." Shen Lan raised her head to look at Xue Yun, with tears in her eyes, and reached out to hug Qing'er, "Qing'er, sister misses you so much!" I'm glad you're back, otherwise, we'd never see each other again. Saying that, he hugged Hu Qing and cried, Hu Qing couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and hugged Shen Lan and cried. Only now did she know how much she was afraid of losing them. Xue Yun watched them crying, with tears in his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his arms and hugged both of them into his arms, "Okay, okay, don't cry, now, we are all safe." Yes, everything is safe, the two of them stopped crying and looked up, and a smile bloomed on the face of the pear blossom with rain.

"Brother Yun, you've lost weight! Qing'er also lost weight. "Slender hand stroked Hu Qing's cheek and wiped away tears." What about him? ”

"I let him go!" Xue Yun said in a low voice.

"You let him go? He killed my father! ”

"Lan'er, my father-in-law has already gone, and even if I kill his father-in-law, I won't be able to come back. Kill him, what is the difference between us and him? ”

"But he killed my father." Shen Lan replied in a low voice, but she was still a little reluctant in the end.

Hu Qing had never seen Shen Lan so excited, and when he saw her insisting, he asked casually, "Sister, do you know Yanhong?" ”

"Scarlet! Know, it's his lover. How about her? Shen Lan recalled the hearty woman who loved to laugh.

"She went to the capital to assassinate me, and committed suicide after defeat." Qing'er's words were sentimental, for Yanhong not to cherish her life, for that man to use her like that, for her to pay so disregardively.

"Suicide?" Shen Lan was stunned word by word, unable to accept that such a hearty person would choose to commit suicide.

"Sister Lan, I promised Yanhong that if you and your eldest brother are safe and sound, I will let him go." Hu Qing paused and sighed, "You also feel sorry for Yan Hong, Sister Mo Lan, I also feel sorry for her, although I think it is not worth her to give up her life for such a man who does not cherish her, but Yan Hong defends him until she dies and begs me to spare him." Let's spare him this time, and if he continues to do evil in the future, we will take him again, okay? Hu Qing took Shen Lan's sleeve and begged to relieve Xue Yun.

"Okay. For the sake of Yan Hong, we spare him this time. Shen Lan was still a little reluctant, but she agreed with Xue Yun and Qing'er's approach.

Xue Yun hugged the two people in his arms tightly, and smiled heartily, "Come, Lan'er sit down, Brother Qing also sits down, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk for a while." Hu Qing let go of the arm that hugged Xue Yun and Shen Lan's waist to help Shen Lan sit down, sat opposite her again, and then looked at the eldest brother sitting beside Shen Lan and said, "Sister Lan's body needs to be recuperated for a few days, is the eldest brother still in good health?" ”

"Big brother is fine, don't worry, you must be very tired when it comes to Brother Qing!"

"I'm fine! Eldest brother! Hu Qing glanced at the eldest brother, the eldest brother's body is fine, at this time, I am afraid that something is in the eldest brother's heart. The eldest brother has always regarded Cao Jingxuan as his own brother, but he didn't expect that now it is the result of parting ways, and the eldest brother's heart is not as relaxed as it seems!

"Brother Qing, you haven't answered the question that the eldest brother asked just now!" Sensing Hu Qing's worry, Xue Yun smiled at her.

"Oh, don't worry, big brother, Yan Hong didn't hurt me. What the eldest brother knows, the martial arts of the sun, moon and stars are not necessarily the most powerful in the rivers and lakes, but the four of them have never met an opponent when they act together, the four of them infiltrated the Cao Gang and took down Cao Jingxuan and his henchmen, and the wind and snow thunder and lightning led the guards to explain to the brothers of the Cao Gang the fact that Cao Jingxuan killed Uncle Shen and imprisoned the eldest brother and Sister Lan, and the gang members hated Cao Jingxuan's actions, plus the eldest brother has always been friendly and kind to people, and the gang admires you, so they voluntarily follow you, that's it! ”

Xue Yun nodded, "Well, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you say, you can imagine the experience without talking about the eldest brother!" Brother Qing, you are more clever than Brother Xuan when it comes to strategizing and controlling opportunities! And said with a straight face: "Promise the eldest brother, don't be in danger for the eldest brother in the future, the eldest brother doesn't want to be your dead end." ”

Hu Qing bowed his head and was silent, and Xue Yun urged: "Brother Qing! Promise Big Brother! ”

Hu Qing disagreed: "Will the eldest brother be in danger for Qing'er?" ”

Xue Yun looked at Qing'er with blazing eyes, "That's nature!" Big brother is reckless, and you are different from big brother. ”

Hu Qing intercepted Xue Yun's words: "Big brother! When we bowed our prayers, we said, 'Share the blessings and share the difficulties', has the eldest brother forgotten? ”

The corners of Xue Yun's mouth went up, but he tried his best to lower his voice, "You still say!" If I had known that you, a ghost and elf, were a woman, how could I have bowed to you! ”

"Big brother, you're here again, do you regret swearing to Qing'er?" Hu Qing's pouting made Xue Yun and Shen Lan laugh, "Qing'er, eldest brother has never regretted swearing to you!" ”

"That's why the eldest brother forgot to bow to me!" Hu Qing still pouted and did not give up.

"How could the eldest brother forget! Never forget! It's just your identity, and the eldest brother is really afraid of causing you trouble, which is not good for you. ”

Hu Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are so pedantic!" When did Qing'er ever care about what others said? ”

Xue Yun let out a long sigh: "Yes, you naturally don't care, but the eldest brother cares, Brother Qing, the eldest brother wants you to be happy, do you understand?" Best, no one knows about our relationship. ”

Hu Qinglang smiled, spread out his palms and said, "Big brother, I was assassinated by Yan Hong on the street, and now I want to hide it, and I can't hide it!" What's more, he never thought of concealing it, this righteous brother is the person he cares about, the person he loves, and he never feels the need to hide it.

Xue Yun shook his head and sighed: "Don't let the eldest brother mistake you!" Otherwise, the eldest brother will regret it for life. ”

Hu Qing smiled brightly, "Big brother will always be Qing'er's big brother, no matter how it changes in the future, our brotherhood will never change!" ”

Xue Yun sighed: "Alas, I really can't help you." He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Shen Lan looked at the two of them with a smile: "Brother Yun, thanks to Qing'er this time, otherwise I might not see you." We want to thank Qing'er very much. ”

Xue Yun raised his chin to see Qing'er, "You don't need to say the word 'thanks' to Brother Qing, you know, he doesn't like this." ”

Hu Qing frowned slightly, feeling that the wound on his waist was bleeding again, he stood up and smiled at Xue Yun and said, "Big brother, you will have a lot of things to deal with next, I will take Sister Lan back to Mingyuan to recuperate first." When you're done with the matter, we'll talk when we get back together. ”

Xue Yun said: "Okay, Brother Qing, the eldest brother will deal with the matter here as soon as possible, and then go to you." ”

Hu Qing stood up, "Big brother, the Cao Gang is now leaderless, and the gang supports you, you have to pick up the burden." By the way, big brother, what to do with Cao Jingxuan's henchmen? And don't forget our promise! ”

Xue Yun smiled and said seriously: "Brother Qing, don't worry, eldest brother will not forget." Once the eldest brother has taken care of the affairs of the gang, he will find someone to take over, and then he will wait to leave with you. Lan'er will ask Brother Qing, and the eldest brother will come to see you as soon as possible. Let those people go, whether they go or stay with them. Lan'er, before you go to Mingyuan, let's go and worship your father-in-law. Speaking of the last sentence, Xue Yun's expression was already depressed again.

Rescuing Xue Yun and his wife was indeed not as easy as Hu Qing said, and the first thing Hu Qing did after he was assassinated and fell asleep was to send Lei Hedian to Hangzhou to find out the news. The Hu Family Guard is a group of four, like wind, snow, thunder and lightning, the first two are good at martial arts and weapons, and the last two are good at light skills and hidden weapons. Feng and Xue Ming are by Qing'er's side, and they need to go out to run errands, usually Xue, and Lei and Dian have been stealth by Qing'er's side to protect him.

The four of them followed Hu Qing for ** years and never left, this time Hu Qing sent Lei and Dian out, Hu Zhongzheng and Qin Heming already knew his determination to go. The two had no objection to Hu Qing rushing to Hangzhou to rescue Xue Yun regardless of his own pain, secretly worried about his body, but there was no show on his face.

Qin Heming accompanied Hu Qing back to Hangzhou and treated his injuries all the way. Hu Qing's injury is on the waist, although it is not as deep as the flesh and bones, if it is a healthy man who is injured like this, it will be no big problem to raise for half a month and a month, but Hu Qing is congenitally weak, and he has not taken care of it well, and when he rushed back to Mingyuan, although the injury did not deteriorate, it did not get better. More than 20 days of traveling day and night, coupled with days and nights of sleepless research on the situation of the Cao Gang and the strategy to rescue Xue Yun and his wife, in fact, it was all supported by a faith.

Xue Yun knew Hu Qing's character, thinking that he didn't want to meddle in the internal affairs of the Cao Gang, and he didn't care about his eagerness to retire, and sent the two away, and Xue Yun devoted himself to rectifying the gang.

Hu Qing and Shen Lan, who returned to Mingyuan, did their best to recuperate and recuperate their bodies under the care of Qin Heming, only then did they know that Shen Lan was more than four months pregnant. Shen Lan experienced the civil strife of the Cao Gang, her father was killed, and she was separated from Xue Yun and his wife, and almost died. When he heard Qin Heming say that he was pregnant, he had mixed feelings, but he just held Hu Qing's hand and said, "Thank you, Qing'er!" "I can't say anything else. And Hu Qing's excitement was no less than Shen Lan's, and he kept asking excitedly: "Sister, I want to have a nephew!" Do I really have a nephew? ”

***

Hangzhou in April, like a lover's charming, like a virgin gentle and graceful, even the air is filled with a faint, lingering fragrance of flowers.

At this time, there were more than a dozen boats of all sizes moored on the West Lake, and there were two men on the board of one of the painted boats, one standing and one sitting. Standing tall was a man of about twenty years old, dressed in a pale cyan robe, dark cyan trousers and shoes, and a long black braid hanging down his waist. Holding an emerald green flute in his hand, he stared over the lake and stopped in the distance.

The man who was sitting buried his head in the piano could not see his face clearly, but saw his pair of plain hands flying up and down on the strings, and the beautiful melody poured out of his hands, and the flute music flew in the air.

A delicate woman sat on the side of the boat and looked affectionately at the man standing, her eyes soft.

These three people are Xue Yun, Hu Qing and Shen Lan.

The warm sun sprinkled into the West Lake, the water surface is sparkling and gorgeous, whether the waves under the water surface will be surging and rushing to the moment is irrelevant, they have just experienced life and death a month ago and are back together, at the moment they are enjoying life to the fullest, loving life.

If you can't forget the pain, if you can't stay away from the hurt, then use enthusiasm to repay the peace of the moment, and use love to repay the beauty of life.

At the end of the song, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled. Shen Lan handed the tea cup on the table to the two of them, "Your ensemble is really extraordinary, and it makes people listen to it fascinated." ”

Hu Qing shook his head: "We still haven't played the charm, isn't it big brother?" ”

"Yes, because we are all so satisfied, this song "Farewell Regret" was played by us as "Happy Gathering"!" Xue Yun looked at the two people closest to him in his life and smiled with satisfaction.

Shen Lan looked at Hu Qing, "Qing'er, didn't you try it out with that ensemble?" After all, this is a piece created by the two of you masters. ”

Hu Qing shook his head and smiled reluctantly, "Not yet, let's talk about it later." "There's always a day for ensembles, and now is not the time.

Xue Yun looked at Hu Qing's instantly gloomy expression, eager to interrupt his train of thought, "When are you going to make it clear with him?" Is it possible that you don't want to tell him about your relationship with him? ”

Hu Qing glanced at his eldest brother and said, "Don't be busy, I'll talk about it when the time is ripe." He can't think of who I am now, because he's been confused by me, and one day he'll understand even if I don't say it. ”

"Brother Qing, he will blame you!"

"Maybe! Sister Lan, are you tired? Reaching out and stroking Shen Lan's lower abdomen: "The baby has grown up again, hasn't it?" Although he has not yet been born, this little life has touched the hearts of three people.

Xue Yun looked at Shen Lan gently, "Lan'er, I've worked hard for you, and I want you to accompany us to the lake." ”

Shen Lan smiled and shook her head: "It's not hard. It's rare that Brother Yun is so idle, Qing'er is going back to Beijing again, let's accompany him more, I don't know when we will meet again. As he spoke, his face was already unrelenting.

"I'll come back to see you often, and I'll be sure to come back when the baby is born."

Shen Lan sighed slightly, disgusting at Hu Qing. "Easy to say! Who knows what you're up to? Maybe you can't leave. ”

Hu Qingyuan was also reluctant to separate from the two, and seeing that Shen Lan and Xue Yun both looked gloomy, he deliberately glared at the phoenix and raised his eyebrows and said, "When does Hu Qing's words count!" ”

"Brother Qing, Brother Xuan has arrived in the capital, you have to be careful of him, you also know his name, even ghosts are worried, this time his dream of helping the leader was shattered because of you, he will not give up, I am worried that he will be unfavorable to you."

"By him?" Hu Qing smiled coldly.

"Brother Qing! He's not your opponent alone, and of course he understands it, so I think he's going to cling to someone else. ”

"Let him be whomever he is attached!" This Jinggui in the city, if someone insists on getting along with him and can't take him in, he can't control it, but if he does something that harms his own interests, then no one can protect him.

"What if he's attached to that person?"
