The funeral of the fallen comrades in the Queen's Village was held three days later, and at this time, Ao Xuanji attended with his sick body.

There is a tradition in the Queen's Village that when a cremation is held, the owner of the village will personally remove the mask of each person who has died. After cremation, it is hung on the tombstone as a tomb symbol.

On this day, Ao Xuanji, with the support of the maid, took off the masks of his subordinates one by one. wanted to cry without tears, and his pale face added a touch of pathos. When he arrived at Kan Boyin, Ao Xuanji took off his Rakshasa mask, showing a rugged face, and his expression was still angry.

Ao Xuanji slowly closed his eyes for him and sighed incessantly.

On this day, red light illuminates the entire sky.

"Honesty is both brave and martial, and in the end it is strong and invincible. The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute. ”

The queen's village sang Qu Yuan's "National Mourning" over and over again, and the singing was strong but not sad, entrusting her feelings for the living.

The bright moon of the day shone on the somewhat empty queen's village. In the courtyard, Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan were strolling and admiring the moon.

"Today's moon is really big and round!" Wei Yan looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and felt that "even Chang'e in the moon has appeared." ”

"I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together. Zhang Qichao chanted Su Shi's words and asked, "County Lord, have you ever thought about the prince and the little prince." ”

Wei Yan glanced at Zhang Qichao, walked aside, turned her back on Zhang Qichao, and secretly wept, "What do you want? What if you don't want to? As long as I think of the person who has a father in this attack on the Queen's Village, my heart aches faintly." My father is already a noble person, why is he not satisfied?"

Zhang Qichao hugged Wei Yan from behind and said with relief: "The prince is the eldest son of the first emperor, and he is only one step away from the throne. But there is the eldest son, and the wish is in vain after all, and it is inevitable that there will be pimples in my heart. What's more, the emperor is very jealous of the prince. Coming and going, like a frightened bird, it is naturally difficult to grasp the proportion. ”

Wei Yan leaned against the man's strong chest, and after listening to Zhang Qichao's words, she implied a lot of understanding of her father. Suddenly turned around, looking at each other.

Wei Yan pleaded, "Qi Dynasty, can you promise me one thing?"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Qichao didn't think about it, "As long as it's not a particularly serious matter, I will promise you." ”

"Can you let my father go one day in the future when he has a conflict with the king? Wei Yan added: "As long as he is willing to live in seclusion, can he ask about the world again?"

Zhang Qichao replied very seriously: "Yes, even if the prince refuses to live in seclusion, I will let him go." After all, he is your father and my father-in-law. ”

Wei Yan hugged Zhang Qichao and murmured, "You promised me, but you are not allowed to go back." ”

Zhang Qi stroked Wei Yan's hair with his left hand, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and replied firmly: "Never regret it!"

"Okay, when will we go back?" Wei Yan heard the answer, and no longer worried, "If I don't go back, I'm afraid that my in-laws will have an opinion on my daughter-in-law." After that, I will have a hard time. ”

Zhang Qichao smiled: "No, my parents are very enlightened people. When Xiao Cuo's affairs are settled, we will leave. Go back to see your father first, and then go back to Suzhou. ”

Wei Yan left Zhang Qichao's embrace, pointed to his nose and said, "What did you call my father just now? Why, isn't my father your father-in-law? You can't even call your father-in-law!"

"I changed it, and I promised that it would be my father-in-law's name in the future. Zhang Qichao reacted quickly and immediately admitted that he had made a mistake.

Wei Yan smiled clearly and said curiously: "We deliberately came out to make room for Bai Fang and Xiao Cuo." Do you guess Bai Fang can ask Xiao Cuo clearly?"

Zhang Qichao smiled: "Yes, and I believe in the answer, as you and I think in our hearts." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, only to feel the sweetness in their hearts.

Xiao Cuo and Bai Fang were talking in the guest room, the candle flame was flickering, and it was difficult to explain the different emotions.

Xiao Cuo had already woken up, and learned about his situation from Zhang Qichao's mouth. He has been in adversity all the year round, and he has a lot of pepsies.

Bai Fang said: "In the future, I will always be with you forever." Would you like to? I want you to tell me in person, truthfully replied. ”

Xiao Cuo's eyes were sad, and he asked rhetorically: "Now I am a wasted person. Will you still follow me?"

"Yes!" Bai Fang replied categorically, "I have never given up my love for you because of your changes. It's just that...... It's just you and Lu Yao, hey, I don't know where to start. ”

Xiao Cuo put his left hand on the back of Bai Fang's hand, calmed Bai Fang's anxious mood, and sighed: "I have not been educated by my parents since I was a child, and I am always ignorant about the world of feelings. The relationship between me and Lu Yao is the result of me thinking about things simply. Now, I can't just do it anymore. I also ask you, what would you do if I were to be hostile to your master again one day?"

Bai Fang knows this problem, but in fact, it has always been between the two. Xiao Cuo was afraid that Lu Yao's incident would happen again, why shouldn't Bai Fang think about this question many times in Bai Fang's heart.

Bai Fang replied: "Before my master marched into the Central Plains, he once said that he was destined to live this life, either to live to become the first person in martial arts, or to die. I also said that with you, as long as I live for a moment, I will always be on your side. ”

Xiao Cuo no longer hesitated, and asked euphemistically, "I will be like your oath." No matter how much it changes, the heart for you remains the same. ”

Zheng Zheng oath is like thunder. Bai Fang hugged Xiao Cuo unwillingly, and both of them shed tears.

In fact, there is another pair who are secretly talking to themselves, but Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan don't know, that is Ao Xuanji and Yan Lingping.

Yan Lingping dragged his injured body, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and came to Ao Xuanji's room to confess his mind. Ao Xuanji had already noticed it, in fact, she also had this intention, but she couldn't rest assured that the brothers and sisters in the queen's village.

"The Queen's Village has been hit hard and its vitality has been greatly damaged. If you continue to support it alone, I'm afraid it's not a thing. Yan Lingping persuaded, "It's better to give up the Queen's Village and let them go back to Yuanyue Hall with us." The two forces merged and took care of each other. ”

Ao Xuanji worried: "However, my brothers and sisters have long been accustomed to living an unrestrained life, and I am afraid it will be difficult for them to integrate into your sect. ”

"This ......," Yan Lingping thought for a while, "or I'll stay, and live one day at a time." Even if it's a sacrifice, it's a death!"

"No, I don't want you to say that. Ao Xuanji was anxious, "Okay, for your sake, I am willing to disband the Queen's Village." ”

"Disbanding the Queen's Village, this ......" Yan Lingping felt incredulous.

Ao Xuanji said seriously: "I've thought about it, it's never a way for them to follow me." The rivers and lakes are ruthless, and they can't go on like this. It is also a kind of happiness to let them live a little ordinary life. ”

Yan Lingping unwillingly hugged Ao Xuanji in his arms and was moved......

At dawn the next day, everyone bid farewell to Xiao Cuo and Bai Fang.

After some parting words, Xiao Cuo asked Zhang Qichao to speak alone, and everyone waited not far away. Bai Fang and Wei Yan each twisted two bags and looked at them.

The first light of dawn shone on Xiao Cuo in a wheelchair and Zhang Qichao who was standing.

"Zhang Gongzi, there is something I want to ask you. Xiao Cuo took out two secret books from his arms and handed them to Zhang Qichao, and said: "This is the secret book of Yanxia Divine Skill and Shangqing Sword Intent, which I wrote silently overnight, please transfer it to Lu Yao on my behalf." ”

Zhang Qichao took the cheats, glanced at them roughly, and promised: "Please rest assured, I will personally deliver it to her." It's just, if she asks about you, how do I answer?"

Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Answer truthfully." Then convey a word for me, you know my heart, and we will meet again in the next life. ”

Zhang Qichao sighed and responded: "It seems that you have made up your mind in your heart, okay, I'll write it down." A brief separation is imminent, and I have something to tell you. Don't be intimidated by temporary difficulties, the future martial arts still need your help. ”

Xiao Cuo smiled indifferently and said, "I know, this retreat, I will definitely study the Haoyang Heavenly Technique, and I can truly restrain the Pi Li quality body." ”

"Well, good. Zhang Qichao bowed his hand and blessed: "I wish you a safe journey, and look forward to the moment when you come out of the martial arts again." ”

Xiao Cuo returned the salute, and then said, "The matter between me and Wei Yan ......"

"No need to explain, I know. Zhang Qichao smiled, "You also have to cherish the people in front of you, many things are not perfect at the beginning, and the middle is not wonderful, but the result is worth remembering." ”

"I know it too~~" Xiao Cuo replied.

Both of them smiled indifferently, Xiao Cuo felt that he and Zhang Qichao were not like newcomers meeting for the first time, but like an old reunion.

After speaking, Bai Fang pushed Xiao Cuo and left, disappearing at the end of the mountain. The long wind is thousands of miles and a bright moon, and each is lovesick according to the old people. Xiao Cuo and Bai Fang temporarily left the martial arts, and they were idle for a while.

The next to say goodbye were Tuoba Shiruo and Mei Yanxin. Tuoba Shi wanted to go to the south to find his subordinates, and Mei Yanxin didn't worry about it.

Everyone thought it was strange, but Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan knew the inside story, and it was hard to say.

After bidding farewell to Tuoba Shiruo and Mei Yanxin, Zhang Qichao glanced at Wei Yan, and Wei Yan walked to Zhang Qichao's side willingly.

Zhang Qichao said goodbye: "The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever." The county lord and I are separated from you on this point. ”

Ao Xuanji and the others thanked him: "Zhang Gongzi's love for helping the queen is very grateful to us. ”

Zhang Qichao wanted to speak and stopped, and said thoughtfully: "There is a sentence below, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Ao Xuanji responded: "Zhang Gongzi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

"Now Pili is very powerful, and the queen's village is already difficult to hold on to after this battle. Zhang Qichao said truthfully, "If this continues, the day of destruction is not far away." I hope you take a step back and stay out of the limelight for a while. ”

Zhang Qichao said this very tactfully, but Ao Xuanji had already planned, "Thank you Zhang Gongzi for reminding me, I have my own opinions." ”

"Okay, let's say goodbye, he will meet again one day. Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan said goodbye to everyone and embarked on the road home.
