"Flawed."

Su Xuan came out from the porridge shed, walked to Qu Chang's side, bent down, and handed him a hand stove: "You are afraid of the cold, sit on this vent again, and cover your hands."

He watched Qu Chang take over the stove, a sincere and happy smile appeared on his lips, and said: "The people are very grateful to you, and they have mentioned you inside and outside the city, and they are full of praise."

Qu Chang said: "This matter can be done, half of your contribution is due to it. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time, and there was really no one available, and it also caused you to take risks."

"I recognize that Shangfang sword. When I see it, I understand what you mean."

Just now, the life and death situation was brought up by Su Xuan, he smiled softly at Qu Zhang, and said in a soft voice:

"Do you remember? In the previous life, the prince was in danger, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. The King of Wei forced him to go to the East Palace and demanded to search for the witchcraft. It was you who drove them back with the Shangfang sword."

He sighed in a low voice: "It was too late when I came back. You were really angry and sick for many days. At that time, I thought, if I can replace these things with my body, it will be fine..."

Qu Chang said: "It's a pity that we didn't catch up, which means we have no fate."

Su Xuan sighed: "Yes, we are always not destined, even the last one..."

He stopped talking and turned to a smile: "Now, is there still a chance to re-cultivate fate?"

Qu Chang said indifferently: "Su Xuan, it's your own business to live your life again, and it's your own life to live, you shouldn't put your energy on me."

Su Xuan smiled: "What you said is that I live my own life, and I have to do what I want to do."

He stretched out his hand, trying to smooth out a wrinkle on Qu Chang's sleeve, but he heard someone say coldly, "Master Su."

Jing Qianjiang came slowly, with the paleness after a severe injury on his face, he directly put the cloak on his arm over Qu Chang's shoulder, and also stopped Su Xuan's hand.

He lowered his head and smiled at Qu Zhang: "The order here is in good order, so there is no need to worry. Since Mr. Su is here, you can go back and have a rest."

After finishing speaking, Jing Qianjiang turned his head slightly, facing Su Xuan sideways, his gaze was still on Qu Changlong: "Master Su, I will trouble you for the rest, how about it?"

Su Xuan smiled and said: "Su is afraid that he is not capable enough. Since His Highness's injury seems to be fine, why not stay here with the two officials."

Jing Qianjiang tilted his chin slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are too modest. With this achievement, Master Su can finally be completely cleared of the crime, and you will have a bright future in the future. If you want to stay in Huiyang, this king can do it for the sake of your old friend. How about guaranteeing you to be the magistrate within two years?"

Su Xuan raised his eyes gently, Jing Qianjiang seemed to be smiling but not a smile, the two of them made eye contact, and after a while, Su Xuan said slowly: "Xuan doesn't want to be an official in the local area, Your Highness has to worry about it."

The implication is that he intends to return to the capital.

Jing Qianjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, but Qu Changnegative who was sitting on the chair suddenly said:

"Actually, I have always had a question in my mind, that is, how did the two of you die, and whether your rebirth has something to do with what you did before you died. Otherwise, why would everything be so coincidental?"

His words silenced the two who were still confronting coldly just now.

Naturally, Su Xuan was extremely unwilling to let Qu Chang negative know his crazy and ruthless side, and Jing Qianjiang also didn't want to add more psychological burden to Qu Chang negative due to the unhappiness in his previous life.

Both of them have good eloquence, but they don't have a tacit understanding, and it's not easy to make up nonsense in front of each other, so they are silent.

"Oh, don't say it, forget it."

Qu Zhang smiled and stood up: "If you have a strong desire in your heart, don't want to die, and don't admit defeat, you may get more qualifications than those who are easy to accept their fate. I used to be like this."

"Both of you are heroes among men, full of economics and outstanding martial arts. I only hope that your sacrifices will not be in vain. If you are a smart person in this life, everything will go smoothly."

There was a wind passing by in the wilderness not far away, which set off his tone of unreasonable melancholy.

Qu Chang got up, nodded slightly at the two of them, and left.

When Qu Changlu returned to his residence, he found that Zhu Chengluan was still waiting for him. Suddenly, his conscience realized that it was not easy for him.

It took several hours from when Su Xuan secured the food to when Qu Changlu went back to the city and went directly to feed the hungry people. In order to see him alone, Zhu Chengluan sat here bitterly on the bench, dignified A magistrate is indeed a bit pitiful.

Qu Chang said negatively: "The people who come here do what they do, and they don't serve Mr. Zhu a cup of hot tea or some snacks."

I want to eat and drink, do I need to come to you? !

Zhu Chengluan suppressed his anger, and said with a fake smile: "No need, everyone else go down, I want to have a private talk with Mr. Qu."

He just wanted to strangle Qu Chang to death with one hand.

This kid is nothing short of a disaster. On the first dinner party, he thought he was a sensible person, but he was just pretending!

Zhu Chengluan lost his temper at the mansion, but he still couldn't explain the reason for his anger.

On the surface, he was annoyed at Qu Changshou for not giving him face, so he obtained food for distribution without permission, but in fact, he was bleeding from distress.

Those grains belonged to him, and he bought them with money!

Those bandits are not bandits, but private soldiers. He has raised them for a long time! !

Damn!

For the sake of safety, Liu Xianyang's treasonous actions were all carried out in secret. Zhu Chengluan didn't know that Qu Changlu had discovered all his secrets at the moment. He only thought that Qu Changlu had gone up the mountain to find food and wiped out the bandits by the way.

This action was too fast and too ruthless, he just didn't keep an eye on the person a little bit, his years of painstaking efforts were ruined once, and he couldn't explain it to his superiors.

Zhu Chengluan said through the gap between his teeth: "Master Qu, you are a guest from afar, even if you have the emperor's order, should you tell me what you want to do? Privately hand over Shangfang's sword to the prisoner and lead the soldiers Suppressing bandits, releasing food for relief... You don't take me seriously at all!"

Qu Changcheng said without sincerity: "I act recklessly, I hope you will forgive me."

He didn't call it an apology at all, it was just flirting.

What Zhu Chengluan said earlier meant nothing more than to discuss with Qu Zhang how to make up for what he did.

But now the other party didn't understand, but made it clear that he was going to fight against him.

Zhu Chengluan's suppressed anger surged up just now, he slapped the table vigorously, stood up and shouted: "Okay! Qu Lantai, you are doing well! Since you are determined to go your own way and refuse to listen to advice, let's wait and see!"

He said he was about to leave, but suddenly he heard Qu Changshou sighing behind him: "Lord Zhu."

Zhu Chengluan stopped for a while.

Qu Chang said: "My lord, do you still remember what you thought when you put on this official uniform for the first time?"

Zhu Chengluan sneered and said, "Naturally, it's the same as Your Excellency. I wish I could trample all the people above to death and push their heads to climb up!"

"It's a pity." Qu Zhang said flatly, "The road is narrow, it seems that only one person can pass."

When he was talking to Zhu Chengluan, Xiao Wu and Xiao Duan stayed outside.

When Qu Changsheng had nothing to do at home on weekdays, he would be worried by a group of people even if he wore less clothes or went to bed late.

In the minds of the two, Qu Chang is like a candle seedling placed in the wind. When the sparks on it sway, their hearts sway, wishing to let the ignorant guests go away early, so that the master can have a rest.

Seeing that Zhu Chengluan finally ran away in anger, the two quickly entered the room, and saw Qu Changling sitting quietly in front of the table with his forehead propped, as if he had fallen asleep.

Xiao Duan lowered his voice very low, bent down and said: "Master, don't worry about it, please go in and have a rest."

Qu Changsheng gave a "hmm", and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Help me, I can't stand up anymore."

His tone was fairly calm, but his face was as pale as paper, and even his lips were bloodless.

Xiao Duan's face suddenly changed color, and he and Xiao Wu hurriedly lifted up Qu Chang's shoulders, and carefully helped him walk into the inner room.

The three of them had just moved a few steps away when another person strode outside. When they got close, they couldn't help but hug Qu Changcheng, and at the same time ordered: "I'll do as long as I come, get a basin of hot water, and then put his Bring a bowl of medicine."

Xiao Duan frowned and said, "Yi Jiao?"

Jing Qianjiang said: "Although it doesn't cost money to call someone by their name, you don't have to ask every time."

Xiao Duan: "..."

Qu Chang took the whole journey, not to mention the battle of wits and courage, but also inexplicably had a special "competition" with Jing Qianjiang in the cave, and his whole body was already exhausted physically and mentally.

If he hadn't gone through the mission of the previous life, his physical condition has been improving now, and Yu Zhu Chengluan might have passed out when he spoke just now.

At this time, Qu Changnegative only felt a splitting headache, his temples throbbed, and his eyeballs were swollen, and he was put on the bed and took off his boots in a daze, only to realize who was beside him.

Jing Qianjiang also ran around with injuries, but he was much more active than him. Qu Changlu sneered with a pale face, and said, "You are forbidden to be beaten."

Jing Qianjiang said: "My ban on beating is not as good as your stubborn mouth. I said ancestor, you are already like this, just stop the meeting, at least say a few words of virtue, and cultivate your spirit."

He said these two sentences angrily, but couldn't help feeling distressed, stroked Qu Chang's hair, and said in a low voice, "Do you have a headache again, are you cold?"

Qu Chang said: "You'll be fine after a while, you won't die—about Zhu Chengluan's matter, you have to write a letter immediately and send someone back to the capital. You can't catch up with them."

Jing Qianjiang said: "I've already made arrangements, you don't have to worry about anything."

His chest was also in pain, and he sat on the head of the bed, gently supported Qu Changlong to lean against his side, and rubbed his temples for him.

Both of them were so wounded and crippled, and their movements were slow, and as Qu Changlu slowly pressed their foreheads, Jing Qianjiang suddenly felt as if both of them were in their seventies and eighties, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qu Chang negative felt a little better, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jing Qianjiang said: "I was thinking, if only we were old by now."

Qu Chang said: "I probably won't survive that..."

His words were cut off in half, because Jing Qianjiang came over quickly, the tip of his nose almost touching his, as if he was about to kiss him in the next moment.

He whispered: "Don't say these things, I can't hear such words."

Qu Chang negative turned his head slightly. It wasn't that his temper had changed, but that he was lacking energy. He said lightly:

"I think you've become more and more crazy recently, stay away from me. What I said before, I'm not interested in talking about feelings with you. It's just for fun. If you want to talk, you will lose anyway."

Jing Qianjiang smiled and said, "It's okay, I have nothing to lose."

After Xiaoduan and the others brought the medicine and hot water, they waited for Qu Changlu to take the medicine and rest. He was full of worries, although he was extremely tired, he still didn't sleep well, and he woke up at dawn .

It was reported outside that the two heads of the household department who came with him asked to see him.

The two principals were named Guo Da and Ding Kaifu, and they were greatly chilled because of Qu Changshou's indifferent attitude towards the hungry people.

Therefore, even though they were imperial envoys who came with the same purpose, they were not willing to talk to Qu Chang negative at all, but acted in private, hoping to find a solution to this matter.

While Guo Da and Ding Kaifu scolded Qu Zhang, a dandy like Zhu Chengluan, who was responsible for Zhu Chengluan's corpse, they searched for wealthy businessmen to raise money, but unfortunately they found nothing.

They never imagined that it was Qu Changlu who ventured into the mountains without making a sound, confronted Zhu Chengluan face to face, and finally helped the hungry people outside the city to win their lives.

Although the brains of the two were not enough, they were still pure in heart. After understanding the situation, they were very ashamed. Last night, they learned that Qu Changlu had gone to rest, so they came here again in the morning, and they must apologize to him face to face.

The two didn't dare to interrupt, when Qu Chang negative went out to meet the guests, they had already been waiting for a while.

Seeing Qu Zhang came out, Guo Da and Ding Kaifu quickly stood up and saluted, apologizing ashamedly.

Qu Changlu was still indifferent, but he didn't mean to blame him: "It's just a misunderstanding, you two adults don't need to take it to heart."

Ding Kaifu said: "In short, the two of us did not know the truth beforehand, so we jumped to conclusions. I am really sorry for you. But this time, thanks to Mr. Qu's ingenious plan, the matter was resolved satisfactorily, and these poor people can be saved. gone."

Qu Changcheng said bluntly: "The matter has not been resolved, and Zhu Chengluan is still here."

Ding Kaifu was startled, and Guo Da said, "Didn't your lord submit a letter to the imperial court?"

Qu Chang's smile was ironic: "It won't be of any use to shake Zhu Chengluan's position."

It's not a day or two since the starving people happened. It's not that no one has written to impeach Zhu Chengluan, but he is so confident because he knows in his heart that he is different from the Lu family.

Although the Lu family is a royal residence, what they did was to seek their own personal gain. They were dragged into the water in a daze. In addition, the crown prince refused to be a guarantor. That's why Qu Chang was able to save a lot less means.

However, the Zhu family has close ties with many forces in the DPRK, and its position is also very important. If it is shaken, it will definitely affect the interests of many people. .

Under such circumstances, they were high in the mountains and the emperor was far away, but the people in the court could meet the emperor every day, wantonly turning black and white, and destroying evidence.

Therefore, regarding the suspicion that the mountain bandits were private soldiers raised by Zhu Chengluan, Qu Changlu did not report them at all. He was afraid that he would write them in the letter, and then the two brothers Liu Xianyang would die.

In the minds of Guo Da and Ding Kaifu, Qu Zhang has a background and skill, and he handles things so savagely that they almost imagine him as omnipotent. When they didn't expect him to have no choice, they were stunned.

Ding Kaifu said cautiously: "Can you let Qu Xiang..."

Qu Changlu waved his hand, not sure if he meant that his father would not care, or that he would not ask his father for help.

He hasn't recovered yet, and he looks tired, with a deep look of lethargy hanging over his brows.

Ding Kaifu looked at Qu Chang's pale and thin profile, and suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.

He used to be an official in the local area, managing academic and political affairs, so he didn't have much contact with many ways in the officialdom.

After coming here, I realized that I just wanted to do something for the common people. It is so difficult to be a good official worthy of the official uniform.

Even a proud man like Qu Changcheng has to risk offending Zhu's party and dying in the mountains in order to win the right to live in this world for those hungry people.

In fact, he can pretend to be deaf and dumb, Zhu Chengluan has clearly hinted that as long as Qu Changlu stays comfortably, regardless of this matter, when he gets rid of the victims, he will be rewarded for his achievements.

But Qu Changshou did not compromise, and the price he paid was not insignificant.

However, if Zhu Chengluan was still sitting in this position safe and sound, all the hard work Qu Changlu had put in would be in vain—as long as he returns to the capital, the people will definitely suffer.

Ding Kaifu murmured: "This world, why is it like this... Do you want to let the wicked run rampant?"

Qu Chang said negatively: "I just said it's hard to do, but I didn't say it's okay. This method won't work, there are always other ways to survive."

His expression was indifferent, as if he was sitting on a horse and looking down at those hungry people indifferently, but at this moment, Ding Kaifu and Guo Da had already realized what kind of fighting spirit and compassion lay behind this indifference.

The two couldn't help getting up at the same time, and bowed to Qu Chang negative to the ground.

Guo Da said solemnly: "From now on, if your lord has orders, we will obey them. I only hope that I can also make a small contribution to justice in this world."

Qu Changcheng received the gift safely, and looked at the two of them: "If you will be prosperous in the future, I hope you don't forget your current heart."
