After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"Xie Langfeng, you go ahead. I'll take care of this. It's time to go pick up Song Qiyan."

"Okay, then you can just delay this battle first."

Xie Langfeng rode away on horseback and went to the weakest point in the west to pick up Song Qiyan according to Song Qiyan's previous plan.

I hope he returns safely.

Xie Langfeng prayed secretly, hoping that Song Qiyan would win the bet.

In fact, Song Qiyan did make the right bet.

Zhou Jingcheng did not kill him and was willing to take him away.

According to the plan, he was supposed to lure Zhou Jingcheng to this place and capture him, but he was selfish at the moment.

"Zhou Jingcheng, please go."

Song Qi Yan stopped his horse and looked at the back, he was stunned for a moment.

"Leave? Didn't you agree to follow me? Are you going to join Song Chengzhong's camp?"

Zhou Jingcheng pulled the reins and turned around to look at Song Qiyan in disbelief.

"That's right. Now that I am a prince, I naturally have to protect my father's kingdom."

"Okay, you are my son after all. In the end, I am your biggest obstacle."

Zhou Jingcheng sneered, as if mocking himself. After so many years, he still couldn't find that person.

"Even so. I will take you away, even if it's your corpse."

Zhou Jingcheng pointed his gun at Song Qiyan.

Song Qi Yan just looked at him coldly, his expression was calm and as cold as a lake.

"You can't kill me. If you insist on taking me away, you will only die here."

When he raised his eyes, his original indifference had returned.

"I came here just to force you to take action. I didn't expect that you would sympathize with me and lead me out of the enemy camp. You know, you will have no way back this time. Because I have already laid a trap in front of you. If you take one more step forward, you will fall into the abyss and never return."

"Then why did you tell me? Could it be that you pity me and want to let me go?"

Zhou Jingcheng sneered and mocked himself for having nothing in the end.

"Pitiful………"

Song Qiyan lowered his head and thought.

It is true that he feels pity, but more than that he feels pity for himself.

I have acknowledged the thief as my father for twenty years, and now I am facing my biological father with swords.

Even if he let everyone down, this time, he would indulge the selfishness in his heart and let Zhou Jingcheng go.

"Father, please go."

"Father?"

Zhou Jingcheng paused, looking puzzled, and said, "What do you mean? Are you saying that you are my son?"

"I………"

Before they could explain, the wind and sand rolled in, and the ruthless sound of horses' hooves roared on the battlefield, tearing the peace of the two people apart.

Unfortunately, the army that came was not led by Xie Langfeng, but by Su Peng, a subordinate of Song Yuheng.

"Okay, Xu Chu, surrender quickly. You have nowhere to escape. Hand over Song Qiyan, and maybe the Second Prince will spare your life."

Led by Su Peng, his troops surrounded the two men.

Song Qiyan held a sword and rode his horse to block Zhou Jingcheng. "Go ahead. I'll escort you. I owe you that."

Then he raised his horse and charged towards the crowd, but Zhou Jingcheng followed closely behind him and killed the enemies together with him.

"If you were my own son, I would never abandon you. I said I would take you with me. Even if you hate me, I will definitely take you with me."

Zhou Jingcheng stood in front of Song Qiyan with a gun and fought against the enemy.

"Father………"

Song Qi Yan opened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Jingcheng beside him. A feeling he had never experienced before surged into his heart. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he rode his horse to fight the enemy.

"Zhou Jingcheng, if we get out, I will take care of you in your old age!"

"it is good."

At this moment, Zhou Jingcheng seemed to have let go of everything, with a kind look on his face. He nodded in agreement, then reined in his horse and charged towards the enemy with his gun, wanting to fight his way out with Song Qiyan.

But in the end they were outnumbered, and their bodies were gradually covered with scars. It seemed that their fate had come to an end at this moment. As the two of them lay back to back, facing the final fight with the enemy, Zhou Jingcheng felt somewhat relieved.

"Yan'er, if I hadn't wanted to take your mother away back then, would we not have ended up like this? It's a pity that time has passed, and we can't go back to the days we had before. However, I don't regret this trip, because I still found you, my child."

Zhou Jingcheng looked up, as if he saw the days when he and Jiang Xuening spent time together.

If none of this had happened, they would have been such a happy family.

"Father, we will get out. Please wait a little longer. Reinforcements will arrive soon."

Song Qi Yan frowned and looked at the layers of enemies. He didn't expect Song Yuheng to notice something unusual so quickly.

Now that he was seriously injured and could hardly move his feet, how could he lead his father out of the encirclement? The only thing he could hope for was that Xie Langfeng would arrive soon.

But things went against their wishes. Before the two of them could relax for a few seconds, the enemy attacked them again.

Suddenly, the troops fought again. Before Song Qiyan could turn around, a sword was about to chop him. In a trance, he saw a figure flash by and block in front of him.

"Yan'er, hurry up, your father will take you here."

Zhou Jingcheng used his body to block, holding the sword and blocking the enemy in front of him.

Suddenly, countless knife marks scratched Zhou Jingcheng's body, causing him to bleed profusely.

"Father!"

After a shout, Zhou Jingcheng vomited blood and died.

Song Qiyan completely collapsed and tried like a madman to snatch Zhou Jingcheng's body from the enemy.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard again, and Xie Langfeng finally arrived with reinforcements.

"Song Qiyan!"

Soon, the reinforcements brought by Xie Langfeng repelled the enemy. At this time, he looked at Song Qiyan who was desperately holding the sword to kill the enemy and the man who died behind him. He seemed to know everything.

"I'm late."

Xie Langfeng looked at Song Qiyan's dull eyes filled with tears, and then looked at Zhou Jingcheng who was dead and bloody in his arms.

Of course he hated Zhou Jingcheng, but Zhou Jingcheng was dead after all, and it was time for him to let go of the hatred he had buried.

Without saying anything, Song Qiyan spoke up, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't bear to do it after all."

"Zhou Jingcheng is dead. I have no doubt about the ending. You don't have to blame yourself anymore. You certainly have your own difficulties."

Hearing this, Song Qi Yan just sneered, thinking that this should have been the best outcome, but it seemed not to be the case for him.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Song Qiyan looked at Zhou Jingcheng's face, which seemed to be relieved, and a feeling of bitterness surged in his heart.

Father, if our country had not been destroyed and our mother had not been abducted, would we have been able to live a peaceful life?

But it's too late to reverse what has been done.

Maybe this is the best ending now.

Song Qiyan closed Zhou Jingcheng's eyes, wiped away the pain in his heart, and seemed to let go of everything. "Let's go, we still have a battle to fight."

After saying that, Song Qi Yan returned to the front line with Xie Langfeng and others.

-

Later, when the two armies engaged in battle, Song Yuheng thought that he could win a complete victory by capturing Song Qiyan. However, Song Qiyan had already anticipated his hasty plan and had already made a plan - to meet the enemy deep in his territory and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

For a moment, Song Yuheng was at a loss, and with the strenuous efforts of Jiang Sheng and others, the Western Region was defeated soon and Song Yuheng was finally captured.

"Thank you Langfeng, thank you for your help this time."

Song Qiyan bent his bow and saluted to Xie Langfeng and others.

This was the first time that he greeted and saw off Xie Langfeng with such respect, not only because of the help from Fu Sheng Sect, but also because he was grateful to Xie Langfeng for understanding his final selfishness - letting Zhou Jingcheng go.

"No need. I have already achieved the purpose of this trip. I have fulfilled my vow and there is nothing left for me to remember."

Xie Langfeng touched the bottle hanging on his side, his eyes seemed calm and no longer filled with hatred, as if he had let go of everything long ago and became indifferent.

"So where are you going from here?"

He knew that even if Xie Langfeng escaped the disaster, the toxins that his body could not excrete would eventually kill him.

"Once I have dealt with the Fu Sheng Cult's affairs, I will take my sister away."

Xie Langfeng looked at the bottle with soft eyes, which contained Song Nianci's ashes.

He knew that he didn't have much time left, but now that the grudges were settled, he should do as Wanwan said and enjoy the rest of his time with his sister.

"I think the matter in the Western Region has been resolved. It's time for you to set off and go back to find Wanwan."

"It's time to go back."

Three months had passed, and it seemed like a lot had happened. He had so many things to say to her.

At this moment, he missed her more than ever.

"Then let's just say goodbye."

Xie Langfeng clasped his fists and saluted Song Qiyan, saying, "See you again in the arena if we are destined to meet again."

"Goodbye Jianghu."
