Chapter 22: A Promise
"Thank you Young Master Lan!" Xu Yang and the four of them all had serious expressions, and bowed deeply to Lan Qian, even Liao Ming was very sincere, which showed how important Qu Bincheng's status was in their eyes.
Lan Qian hurriedly stood up and helped them up, "The four uncles don't have to be so polite. The Qu family treats him like a relative, and for Lan Qian, the Qu family is not a relative. The Qu family is the first family he met after he was born, the first family to take him in, and the only person he can trust so far, so as long as he has the ability, he will do his best to help the Qu family and protect his only harbor in this world. Of course, Lan Qian only thought about these words in his heart, and did not say them.
"Next, let Elder Qu take a good rest," Lan Qian proposed.
"Well, I'll escort the master back, the second one, you go and invite the young lady and the son back, the third and the fourth, the two of you go to the shore, and cooperate with the six brothers on the boat to dispose of the Jiao family's corpse and property. Qu Bincheng fell into a coma, and everything was decided by Xu Yang.
Lan Qian, Xu Yang and others fought happily on the island, but for Qu Qiuyun and others, these days were extremely tormenting, Qu Qiuyun had to stay at the bow of the boat for a long time every day, looking at the small black dots on the horizon, praying for everyone's safety.
"Miss, it's dark and windy, you better go inside and rest," a maid said to Qu Qiuyun.
"Alas, I don't know how Brother Lan and Daddy are doing, I hope everyone is safe. Qu Qiuyun looked worried, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
"Miss... Miss!" suddenly came a shout from the sea in the distance.
"Hmm, someone is coming!" Qu Qiuyun instantly raised her eyebrows, looked towards the sea, and saw a small black dot quickly getting bigger, gradually showing the outline of a person, and then the outline gradually became clear, and the face could be seen vaguely.
"Miss, it's me, Liao Ming!" The person at sea is Liao Ming who rushed over.
"It's Uncle Liao!" Qu Qiuyun smiled.
"Drink", Liao Ming crossed over and landed steadily on the deck.
"Uncle Liao, how is it?" Qu Qiuyun looked at Liao Ming expectantly, and at this time, Qu Sheng and the other martial sects of the Qu family also came out.
"A big victory! a perfect victory! Annihilation of the Jiaojia search team!" Liao Ming announced loudly.
"Oh!!" The boat was filled with jubilation.
"Anchor, go back!" Liao Ming shouted.
"Uncle Liao, are they all okay, daddy?" asked Qu Qiuyun with concern.
"The old man is seriously injured......"
"What!" Qu Qiuyun was shocked.
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. The old man was seriously injured, but now there is no major problem, Lan Gongzi helped the old man treat for an hour, so that the old man's wound can heal directly, and then he will be fine after a good rest. Liao Ming comforted Qu Qiuyun.
"That's good. What about Big Brother Lan?"
"Your big brother Lan is amazing", Liao Ming teased, "He killed the two first-order martial artists by himself, and the nine martial generals who stayed on the ship were all done by him, and I worship him infinitely now." ”
"What's my big brother Lan, Uncle Liao, don't talk nonsense", Qu Qiuyun said shyly, "That... Then Brother Lan, he's fine. ”
"He's been injured too, but he's all right now, and that guy's recovery and methods are endless, like a trick. Liao Ming exclaimed.
"In that case, everyone is safe, it's good!" Qu Qiuyun finally didn't have to worry anymore.
"Yes, this battle is really not easy", for a victory, it took a month, and the whole family had to mobilize, and countless manpower and material resources were consumed, it was really not easy, Liao Ming couldn't help but sigh.
An hour later, everyone in the Qu family returned to the island, because Qu Bin City was still asleep, so everyone postponed the celebration, but everyone was smiling, especially the six fifth-order martial sects who participated in the battle, and they were foaming at the mouth one by one, telling the situation at that time to be a fanciful, making a group of people who did not participate full of yearning.
In the early morning of the next day, Qu Bincheng woke up, thinking that he would be covered with scars and unable to move, but he didn't expect that the wounds all over his body had healed, and the injuries had already healed. Later, after Xu Yang and others explained, they realized that they owed Lan Qian a great favor, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they owed a life. It's a pity that I can't repay it, although I have a pearl in my hand, but it's still a question whether people like it or not. "That's it, if Lan Qian is in need in the future, I, Qu Bincheng, will also help him achieve it by going up the sword mountain and the sea of fire, even if I take this life, what's the matter. Qu Bincheng secretly made up his mind.
Hearing that Qu Bincheng woke up, Lan Qian hurriedly came over to visit, "Elder Qu, how are you feeling now?"
"It feels very good! In just one night, my injuries have healed. ”
"That's good!" It seems that the healing effect of Yumu's cooperation is still good, and Lan Qian is very satisfied.
At this time, Qu Bincheng suddenly retreated left and right, leaving only Lan Qian alone, "Virtuous nephew, I have something I want to talk to you about in private." ”
"Elder Qu, please speak!" Lan Qian was slightly curious.
"Since you came to the Qu family, the Qu family has been frequently favored by you. When you first met Yun'er Sheng'er, you saved the lives of both of them; after the Jiao family expedition team came over, it was also with your assistance that they were able to completely annihilate each other; yesterday against the Jiao family search team, you played the most crucial role, and in the end you saved my life. You have a great kindness to our Qu family, but our Qu family has nothing to repay. Qu Bincheng told the story.
"Qu Lao said seriously, in fact, I am the one who really receives the favor. Here, the Qu family treats me as a relative, Qu Lao gives me guidance, Uncle Xu and Uncle Liao accompany me to practice, Miss Qiu Yun takes good care of me, and the little boy also brings me a lot of joy, I am very happy here, and I have gained a lot. Lan Qian said sincerely, "As for these two battles with the Jiao family, for me, I think it is an experience, and it has also benefited immensely, I have helped the Qu family, and at the same time, the Qu family has also helped me, and we have benefited together." ”
"It's really rare for a virtuous nephew to be meritorious but not arrogant", Qu Bincheng was very satisfied with Lan Qian, "If Zheng'er hadn't been killed, he would be about the same age as you now." ”
Scenes from the past flashed in Qu Bincheng's mind, and then he continued to speak, "The fight is gone, and only Yun'er and Sheng'er are left under my knees." Sheng'er is still young, and she will definitely stay by her side for a short time, but I am not worried. But Yun'er has always been a piece of my heart. ”
At this time, Lan Qian probably understood what Qu Bincheng wanted to say. I only heard Qu Bincheng continue to speak, "Her mother left early, and Yun'er was raised by me, but unfortunately I still failed to give her a happy and stable life, so that she was frightened, mired in self-blame, and suffered in this remote place, I am really useless as a father." ”
"Old Qu..."Lan Qian was about to comfort him, but was stopped by Qu Bincheng.
"You don't have to be comforted, I've said so much, you may understand what I mean, Yun'er is my only daughter, and it's also a pain in my heart, I don't want her to suffer with me for the rest of my life. Before you came, I didn't have a choice, but now that you're here, your strength, conduct, strategy and other aspects have exceeded my expectations, I know it may be a bit difficult to be strong, but I want to hear your thoughts, what do you think of Yun'er?" Qu Bincheng finally made his intentions clear.
Thanks to Elder Qu for his love, Lan Qian was flattered. Miss Qiuyun is gentle and kind, Chu Chu is touching, I like it very much. But you don't know, my situation is more special, although I am the son of the Lan family, but my status is humble, which is why I will go out alone to practice. When I came out to practice, my family's rule for me was that I could only return to the Blue Domain after I was 40 years old or after I was promoted to the Martial King, and of course two different ways of going back would bring me two different destinies. Lan Qian continued to give a reasonable explanation for his identity and subsequent development.
"Oh, there is such a cultivation method", Qu Bincheng was a little surprised, "but it is very difficult to be promoted to Martial King before the age of 40, and looking at the entire East China Sea, it is estimated that there are not a few." ”
"Yes, it's hard, but I don't give up easily. Lan Qian's eyes were firm, "So in the next ten years, the road I will take will be extremely difficult, and I may even lose my life, so I don't want to have such a person around me for the time being, and I don't have the ability to protect the people around me at all." Can you understand what I mean?"
"I can understand that since ancient times, there has been no smooth road for the strong, and which king has not gone through thousands of hardships to have today's glory. Qu Bincheng was a little emotional, but also a little lost.
"In this way, I will make an agreement with Elder Qu. I'm 28 years old this year, and when I finish my family experience at the age of 40, everything will be stabilized, and I'll come back to Elder Qu and continue today's conversation, okay? Lan Qian made a decision.
"Yes, yes! There are 12 more years, so I'll wait for you in 12 years. Qu Bincheng readily agreed, since Lan Qian said so, then this matter is half the matter, as for Yun'er, most of them are willing to follow Lan Qian.
"Definitely!" Lan Qian nodded.
"Then don't call me Qu Lao in the future, I'll be cheeky today and be your uncle, how about it?", Qu Bincheng's words carried a hint of pride.
"Uncle Qu!" Lan Qian shouted.
"Okay, okay!haha," Qu Bincheng laughed.
"By the way, Uncle Qu, what are the plans for the Jiao family?" After Qu Bincheng finished laughing, Lan Qian asked, he knew that this matter was not over yet.
"What do you think?" Qu Bincheng said after a moment of silence.
"There must be people coming again, right? There should also be a connection between the Jiao family's search team and the Jiao family", Lan Qian raised two questions.
"Definitely coming back, that's for sure. There is also a connection between the search team and the Jiao family, and it is a close connection. After a pause, Qu Bincheng continued, "If the search team is dispatched, it means that there is a possible danger to the destination or target of the search team, so the search team will use the Falcon to contact the Jiaojia headquarters regularly every day to report the itinerary and location. When the search team finds a destination, it will immediately report the location and related information. So, our position has been exposed, and the next expeditionary force will be coming soon, 20 days at most!"
"What about the lineup, will there be a third-order martial marquis?" Lan Qian asked.
"Yes! There will definitely be a third-order martial marquis. ”
"Then there's nothing to say, Uncle Qu, you have to hurry up and pack up and leave as soon as possible. In the face of absolute strength, Lan Qian was helpless at the moment.
