windy cold

Chapter 90

At night, somewhere in Jiangquan City.

Qu Yanping sat with a livid face, Teng Qi leaned on one side with his knife in his arms and closed his eyes and fell asleep, and Lu Jianglin held a cup of tea that was half cold without saying a word.

"You said, five people can't beat those two little brats?" Qu Yanping raised his voice.

Lu Jianglin said coldly: "Why don't you say that you people of the devil way are only so good at it."

Qu Yanping's red eyes froze, and he squinted, "How is Patriarch Lu doing?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lu Jianglin snorted, "Thanks to you, I really can't even lift a sword now."

"Chi" laughed, and Qu Yanping said: "You are the one who wants to borrow strength, and you are the one who is greedy, why are you blaming us now?"

Hearing this, Lu Jianglin put the teacup down heavily, with a sullen expression on his face, "Those five people have been arrested, you'd better investigate their whereabouts, I don't want any mistakes in the wedding seven days later, otherwise Lu Ling You can't borrow the strength of the two families!"

He stood up and walked out, stopped after two steps, turned his back to her and said, "Do you know what is the only thing you can't learn from Sister Zhen? It's inferiority complex. She is the same as me. The child who is not valued by the family is just that I know how to resist, and she...will only hide and cry; but you are so brave, so brave that it seems to have replaced her from the bottom of her bones."

Qu Yanping took a deep breath and widened his eyes.

"But you don't have to worry. The reason why I can see it is because she and I used to be in the same sympathy."

After speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, he walked away and disappeared into the night.

The room was quiet for a while, and then Qu Yanping took the whip and smashed the teacup to pieces.

"Yellow mouth child, I thought I was a thing!"

Teng Qi didn't even look at the debris on the ground, put the knife back on his waist, stepped forward to support Qu Yanping's shoulders, and took her to the chair to sit down. Different from his usual rough appearance and personality, he said in a soft and concerned voice : "Take a break, I just came back from Mobei, I should be tired."

Qu Yanping took a few deep breaths, feeling tired, she sighed and said weakly, "I really wanted to kill him just now."

"Then I'll go for you." Obviously not joking, Teng Qi turned around and was about to chase him out.

"Wait!" Qu Yanping hastily pulled him back, "It's not enough yet, he's still needed for revival of the Devil's Cult."

Teng Qi stopped obediently and said, "Okay."

Letting go of her hand, she leaned her head back to rest, but found that the back of the chair was very short, and her head hanging in the air was dizzy.

Suddenly, a big rough palm covered her side face, exerting a little force, and then she leaned into the broad arms, feeling the thick and warm strength from the other's waist, she moved her head, and found a comfortable place as usual. pose.

"Oh, what a failure. The fragments collected so hard were about to be repaired by Xiao Jun, but Xiao Jun sternly slapped him, and that Zi Jiansheng had always been against me, and he didn't support my approach. Now I How can I revive the Demon Lord..."

Chi Zhen didn't get any news about the broken jade, so it took a year and a half to find the trace of the Chi family, and the Lu Ling family, if they didn't take the line of Lu Jianglin, they don't know when they would have made any progress...

But it was all done anyway, who knew that in the end he was defeated by Xiao Junli who thought it would be the easiest to win, who would have thought that he would save a hand!

Teng Qi combed her hair with calloused hands that had been holding knives all year round, listening silently without answering a word.

Qu Yanping looked up at him, his face was still Chi Zhen's clear and beautiful face, the violent aura faded away, and he was as weak as a little girl next door, "A Qi, I can't fail, I was adopted by the devil , without him, there would be no me, now that the Demon King is dead and the Demon Cult is gone, I can't just sit and watch his years of painstaking efforts go to waste, so I can't stop...I can't stop..."

There was a pause in the movement of the finger, Teng Qi gave a "hmm" and said in a low voice: "I know."

Qu Yanping grabbed his clothes, buried his head in, and said in a muffled voice: "Sometimes I feel very tired, but I know that with you here, you will support me. For so many years, you have always been..."

Teng Qi nodded where she couldn't see, looked down at the person in his arms, and said roughly: "I will always be by your side, you just do what you want, as long as it is what you want, I will go and take it for you, if it is something you want to protect, I will block all the wind and rain for you."

No one responded. It turned out that although she was holding her clothes tightly, she was already in a deep sleep.

After confirming that she was sound asleep, Teng Qi bent down and picked her up horizontally, walked to the bed in the back room, laid her down gently, covered her with the quilt, then left a light kiss on her forehead, and walked out.

……

Lu's house, inner house.

With an irritable expression, Lu Jianglin walked through the courtyard in the night and returned to his room.

The lights here are dim and no one is on duty. He specially ordered and arranged them. Since he was ten years old, he found that he didn't like things that were too dazzling. Later, when his father was killed, he took over as the head of the family, so he directly withdrew in front of the door. The bright lights, leaving the guards aside, left only a dim light that could barely illuminate where to go, and even the candles in his own room were covered with a dark thick lampshade to cover most of the light.

Because only in this way, he felt that his heart could be at peace.

Tonight, as usual, I walked to the door, but unexpectedly saw two people who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Jiang Lin, you are finally back. Qiuyu and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing his son coming back, Yin Xiao led Ling Qiuyu to welcome him, half loving and half blamed, "Why didn't Qiuyu tell me that she was pregnant?" ? She has been exhausted all the way, and she can't see you again, so she loves me so much."

Lu Jianglin glanced at Ling Qiuyu, but Ling Qiuyu wasn't looking at him at all, although she was smiling, she wasn't looking at him.

He retracted his eyes, and said to his mother, Hao Ran: "Mother, I know my mistake, I don't know that Qiu Yu is coming."

Yin Xiao smiled and rolled her eyes, "There have been many happy events in the past month. Now that my Lu family has a concubine, you have to take care of Qiu Yu more attentively. It's only been two or three months since she didn't show her feelings. If you wait a little later, you will have something to gain." Toss!"

"This is the child's own flesh and blood. Needless to say, the child can't feel sorry for himself," Lu Jianglin went to support his mother, and said earnestly, "It's just that the wedding is not yet completed, and the pregnancy must not be disclosed, so as not to damage Qiu Yu's reputation, so mother Dear you, even if you are happy in your heart, don't say it out!"

Yin Xiao thought for a while, nodded and said, "That is."

"It's getting late now, mother. Let's go back and rest first. I will settle down for Qiu Yu. You are not in good health recently, so don't worry about it anymore." Lu Jianglin slightly pushed his mother.

"Well, you two stay alone for a while, and I'll go back first."

Yin Xiaohao exhorted his son and left.

There was no one else in the yard, Lu Jianglin put away the smile on his face, and when he turned around, his face was expressionless, "Did you tell my mother about the pregnancy?"

Ling Qiuyu, who had been silent all this time, finally turned her eyes to him, and suddenly burst out laughing, and said in a mocking tone: "I thought it was you who said it, so it turned out that I overestimated myself."

Lu Jianglin Meifeng moved almost invisibly, and said after a second: "Didn't I tell you to go directly to another courtyard to settle down after coming here?"

The marriage between the Lu and Ling families was inconvenient due to the long distance, so we could only slightly change the custom and set up a separate courtyard on the other side of Jiangquan City for the Ling family to stay. Go out of the pavilion, pick up the relatives and get on the sedan chair to return to Lu's house.

The Ling family had already been notified of this matter, and the two sides reached a consensus.

Ling Qiuyu averted her eyes, and said towards the direction of going out: "I don't know who leaked the news, Aunt Yin came to pick me up in person, but you don't have to worry, I'll go right away." After speaking, she lifted her feet and walked out.

"and many more."

Ling Qiuyu paused.

After a while, Lu Jianglin said: "What time is this, do you want my mother to find out? Come in."

Ling Qiuyu turned to look at him, and said with a sarcasm: "I heard you right, did you let me into your room? What's wrong with you? Or is it because Senior Sister Yun is not in today? I don't want to go in and watch you all! "

Lu Jianglin's complexion changed, and he raised his hand.

Ling Qiuyu immediately closed her eyes, and subconsciously started to dodge.

But after waiting for a long time before the slap fell, she opened her trembling eyelids and happened to see Lu Jianglin withdrawing her hand with annoyed expression on her face.

"When did your mouth become so vicious? You weren't like this before."

As if hearing something funny, he laughed and laughed, "You ask me why I am like this? Why don't you think about what you did to me? I originally liked Brother Wanfeng and wanted to marry him. It was you who insisted on breaking my marriage with him, and then cheating my feelings with sweet words, and after being exposed by me, you still wanted to kill me!"

Lu Jianglin's expression was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't speak for a while.

Ling Qiuyu's eyes were flushed, and he said hysterically: "Aren't you just jealous and inferior? You are jealous that Brother Wanfeng is loved by others, and you are inferior because you have nothing but the name of the eldest son of the Lu family, but that is all your own business. Brother Feng is innocent, so how innocent am I! Every time I think of the father of the child in my stomach who is such a man who speaks honey and hides swords in his smile, I wish I could kill you and this child!"

"Enough!" With a roar, Lu Jianglin interrupted her, grabbed her hand and walked in, "What are you talking about, come in with me!"

"Let go of me! Let me go!" Ling Qiuyu pinched his fingers with great resistance, but she lost her strength and was still pulled in.

After closing the door, Lu Jianglin crossed his chest and said irritably to her, "Have you said enough?"

Ling Qiuyu stood with her lips pursed tightly, staring stubbornly and not speaking.

"It's enough to go to bed and lie down. It's so late, I don't have time to argue with you." Lu Jianglin went straight to the chair and sat down, poured a cup of cold tea, and drank it down.

At this time, no one spoke, and no one looked at each other. The dim candlelight could not make clear the expressions on the faces of the two of them, and they were silent and motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Qiuyu finally made a movement, and walked towards the bed numbly, pulled the neatly folded quilt over her body.

Years later, the weather was still very cold. A sudden gust of cool wind woke up the dazed Lu Jianglin. He got up and went to close the window. She moved a little to the side, and saw that the quilt clinging to her body rose and fell with the line of her body, and then slightly raised a curve in her abdomen.

His eyes darkened and became dim.
