There were five people coming. They were coming here at a fast speed.
The leader was none other than Su Qinghou.
Behind him were four masters from the South Academy.
It turned out that Qin Dingfang recalled Ximenxuan after suffering heavy losses, and a few days later the Blue Eyed Fox King also returned with his people. Although there were still some Beifu masters left in Jinzhou, they could not do much. It was just a small fight, and it did not constitute a big danger.
Okay. Still being chased by masters from the southern border all day long, I was in constant panic.
The pressure in Jinzhou suddenly decreased.
Su Qinghou also found out that Liu Yanliang had been secretly escorted back to Beifu, which made Su Qinghou even more worried.
Since it was difficult for the enemy to make big waves in Jinzhou, there was no need for him to personally take charge of the battle. Su Qinghou, who cared about Liu Yanliang, handed over the affairs of Jinzhou to Zhou Liang and Zuo Jingjing, and rushed towards Fengxiang in a hurry.
Su Qinghou decided to rescue Liu Yanliang personally.
Even if I replace him with myself, I still have to replace Liu Yanliang.
Fortunately, Su Qinghou received news from someone sent by Xiao Lianqin on the way, saying that Liu Yanliang had been rescued and arranged for them to meet here.
Su Qinghou and several others came forward on horseback.
Lin Yi didn't expect his father-in-law to come in person. Lin Yi went up to hold the horse for his father-in-law. Su Qinghou turned over and dismounted. Liu Yanliang seemed not to want to see Su Qinghou, so he closed the car door with a snap.
Lin Yi said: "Master Hou, why did you come in person?"
Su Qinghou said: "There are no major events in Jinzhou, so I have to come."
Lin Yi fulfilled his mission and rescued Liu Yanliang, and Su Qinghou was very happy.
Su Qinghou looked pleased. He patted Lin Yi's shoulder again. This son-in-law did not disappoint him.
Su Qinghou said: "It will get dark soon, Lianqin has found a resting place for me. Come with us when you and Wang return. Let's have a few drinks. Now that Liu Yanliang has been rescued, you can also
Don’t worry about making a scene in Fengxiang.”
After hearing the news of Xiao Liyan's death, Lin Yi felt very depressed now. He was just trying to drown his sorrow with wine.
Lin Yi said: "Okay, I will have a few drinks with Mr. Hou tonight."
Su Qinghou walked to the carriage and opened the door. Liu Yanliang in the carriage turned his head and did not look at Su Qinghou.
Of course Lin Yi could see Liu Yanliang's attitude of refusing to allow Su Qinghou to stay thousands of miles away. This also made Su Qinghou, who had been rushing here for days, feel uncomfortable.
Lin Yi reminded Liu Yanliang again: "Master Liu, let me say it again, I was ordered by the Marquis to save you. Otherwise, you would not be able to leave Beifu at all. Qin Dingfang will not let you live..."
Lin Yi asked Liu Yanliang to be grateful to Su Qinghou, but Liu Yanliang turned a deaf ear.
A wry smile flashed across Su Qinghou's face, and he waved his hand towards Lin Yi, indicating not to say anything further. Then Su Qinghou entered the carriage, closed the door, and sat down opposite Liu Yanliang.
A southern border expert drove his car and turned off the official road onto a small road.
The carriage didn't go very fast.
Su Qinghou asked Lin Yi and Wang Huilai to rush to their destination first, while he prepared to have a good talk with Liu Yanhao in the carriage.
Outside the car, the north wind howled.
Inside the car, there was suffocating silence.
Su Qinghou looked at Liu Yanliang. Liu Yanliang turned his face and looked at the scenery that kept flashing past his eyes outside the car window. Everything in the world was a bleak scene, just like his mood at the moment.
Su Qinghou could tell from the scars on Liu Yanliang's face and forehead that Liu Yanliang had been severely beaten. These injuries were visible, and there were countless invisible injuries.
It’s all his fault for failing to protect Liu Yanliang properly!
As soon as he thought of this, Su Qinghou felt a pain in his heart.
The guilt towards Liu Yanliang seemed to be even heavier.
Su Qinghou broke the silence and said slowly: "Yan Liang, you have suffered."
Liu Yanliang did not speak, nor did he look at Su Qinghou. Instead, he raised his severed wrist, which had been chopped off. The wrist was still wrapped in cloth, like a bare tree trunk, which was shocking.
Seeing this situation, Su Qinghou's heart convulsed with pain.
"Yan Liang, do you blame me for not coming out to save you in the Golden Palace and causing you to lose a hand?" Su Qinghou said.
Liu Yanliang still tightly closed her lips and said nothing.
His eyes were as empty and cold as the wilderness outside the window.
It seemed like there was no breath of life left.
Su Qinghou added: "If I had gone out at that time, it would have proved that you and I have an extraordinary relationship. Ximen Xuan is very smart, and he will not let you go easily. So he may not be able to save you. And if I go out, Jin'er
What should I do? She is Lin Yi's wife. Qin Dingfang and Ximen Xuan hate Lin Yi so much that they will definitely use terrible means to deal with Jin'er. Even you said that Jin'er is innocent. Even if you are indifferent to my death, are you really
Can you bear to watch Jin'er being tortured and brutally killed..."
After hearing this, Liu Yanliang's heart began to shake.
Yes, if Su Qinghou had come out at that time, maybe Ximenxuan would not have chopped off his hand again. But there is no doubt that Su Qinghou and Jin'er would have been doomed.
Does he really have to ask Su Qinghou to save his hand with the lives of his father and daughter before he can forgive Su Qinghou?
That would also be unfair to Su Qinghou.
It's even more unfair to the innocent Su Jin'er.
Liu Yanliang slowly lowered his arms.
Su Qinghou looked at Liu Yanliang, his eyes full of pity and distress.
Liu Yanliang suddenly spoke. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or telling Su Qinghou his experience.
"In order to get me to tell you about my relationship with you, they used various methods to torture me, humiliate me, and beat me, but I never swallowed a word... I begged them to let me meet Qin Dingfang. Because Qin Dingfang is my good friend,
Maybe he let me go because of old feelings. But this good friend of mine is a despicable and hypocritical person. He really thinks that I am a fool and he can deceive me by just putting on a show... and Ximen Xuan. He thinks that our relationship is extraordinary, and he
He said that he would find out as soon as possible. He also laughed at me and said that although I only have one hand, it would encourage me to work harder and improve my painting skills, which would help me. Haha..."
Liu Yanliang suddenly laughed sadly and indignantly.
Su Qinghou could fully understand the pain in Liu Yan's conscience. A pair of hands that could draw the most beautiful pictures in the world, but one of them was cruelly chopped off. It would be unbearable pain for anyone else.
Liu Yanliang turned his face, and Su Qinghou noticed that there were sparkling tears in his eyes.
Liu Yanliang continued to talk about his experiences. Maybe he wanted to let Su Qinghou understand his feelings.
"At that time, I had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. I was desperate and scared. I felt that no one in the world loved me or cared about me, and I was completely abandoned. So, I thought about my mother...and me.
Mother, I will not be afraid, I have the courage to persevere. Because in this world, only my mother loves me the most. Unfortunately, she died early. Mr. Hou, I would rather die as an official father than die as a beggar mother. A child without a mother is really pitiful...
…”
Liu Yanliang's words at this moment were like a knife, cutting into Su Qinghou's heart.
The heart of a generation of Marquis Wu was already riddled with wounds and dripping with blood.
Su Qinghou, who had always been as calm as a mountain, seemed to be unable to control his emotions. He grabbed Liu Yanliang's broken arm and said: "Yan Liang, even if everyone in the world doesn't care about you, I will not ignore you! Even if the whole world doesn't care about you, I won't care about you!"
Even if no one loves you, I won't not love you! In order to save you, I will do whatever it takes! I was worried that Lin Yi couldn't save you, so I came here in person. Even if you trade me for you, I will do it.
Change it out. I have nothing else to ask for now, I just want you and Jin'er to be safe, and that's enough for me..."
