Chapter 37

After being dumped by Luda, King Qin and his party went all the way south, but seeing that the situation was becoming more and more critical, their party was very eye-catching, so they changed their strategy, dispersed more than 20 people, sneaked into Xiangzhou city one after another, and then made plans

King Qin led two of his closest minions to stay at the end That day, passing by a small town, I heard a clamor in front of me, saying that the new Lord Ren bingyilang led his army to a great defeat and attacked the Jin army The court was poor and weak, and had not heard of the victory for a long time. This victory made everyone very excited, and everyone rushed to tell it

King Qin mingled with the crowd and thought, what kind of person is this bingyilang? It's better than the imperial court's straw bag. It can still win. I don't know if it's a fluke

A team was pulled out, and the discipline was very strict. It can be seen that the people who led the army always managed the army well When he saw the young officer leading the way on a curly white horse, King Qin almost couldn't help crying. Isn't this boy Yue Pengju?

The boy in those days has already become a big guy, holding an eight foot long gun is very imposing

He couldn't wait to rush out of the crowd immediately and pull him off his horse to ask about the whereabouts of Hua Rong, but when he saw the army he led, he forced himself to hold back, immediately led his minions, followed the crowd, and saw that they were heading for Xiangzhou

In Xiangzhou City camp, the ninth Lord was overjoyed and went out of the city to meet the crowd

Yue Peng raised his horse and saw a team of bodyguards next to the ninth Lord wearing men's clothes. He was overjoyed. After saluting the ninth Lord, he was about to greet her, but he saw her wink quietly, indicating that he would talk later

He saw his sister smiling and didn't say much. He just followed the ninth Lord, but he couldn't help glancing at her from time to time

Return to the camp and reward them for their merits

The ninth Lord was very happy: "Peng Ju, a state-owned talent, ZTE is promising. I give you 100 liang of gold, 10 brocades, and two singers..."

Yue Peng raised his arms and said, "thank you, Prince. The singer is still to be rewarded to other meritorious soldiers."

The ninth Lord laughed and said, "you haven't married yet, so it's right to have a concubine or two to serve."

He said with regret, "if the gold thief is still alive, why should we live at home? Thank you for your kindness. I'd better talk about my personal affairs later."

The ninth Lord was very happy to see him like this, when he rewarded the two singers to other soldiers

The flowers melted to one side, smiling all the time, as if happier than him. I just want to know that my brother has grown up and really become an indomitable man For the first time, it seemed that he was facing a man instead of the original child

This night, after a banquet, the generals went to the brothel of Xiangzhou city to visit prostitutes according to the Convention

After three years in the army, the sow also became a Diao Chan. After winning, whoring has become an open secret among the soldiers, and no one cares

When the generals went to La Yue Peng Ju, they found that he had already disappeared. Every time at this time, he was not there and never participated in it Everyone took it for granted, so they stopped calling him

Hua Rong returned to the room and looked at the weather. He was very excited, but regretted that there were so many people today that he didn't even talk to Peng Ju, and he didn't know how long he could stay

Thinking about it, I suddenly heard Yue Pengju's visit

She shouted happily, "come in quickly."

Yue Peng looked at her as if she had been waiting for him for a long time. He was also happy. Somehow, as soon as he entered the door, he banged. He only looked at her, bowed his head, looked elsewhere, and slowly said, "sister, are you doing well these days?"

"Not bad. Peng Ju, they all went out to have fun. Why didn't you go?"

Yue Peng raised his face red. "Sister, I never go."

"Well, this is a good man." Hua Rong was very happy. All the people she knew from childhood, except her poor scholar father, those relatives who were slightly rich and powerful, all had three wives and four concubines, prostitutes and kiln visits. Seeing Yue Pengju, who was young, was extremely restrained and clean, which was very comforting

Hua Rong took some dried fruits and snacks sent by the ninth Lord to the room and put them on the table. When he was about to greet him to eat, he saw something in his hand and asked him, "Peng Ju, what did you take?"

Yue Pengju remembered this and immediately handed over a small piece of yellow gold The rewards he received in previous battles were always given to all the soldiers without any money. The 100 liang of gold he got this time was also given to his subordinates. Because he missed Hua Rong and trusted others, he left five Liang to bring to her I don't know from which day on, I realized that she was alone and helpless. I must take care of her and make her live a happy life

Hua Rong took the gold and looked at it. She laughed and was surprised, "hehe, I don't need money."

"Sister, take it. In troubled times, iron money can't buy anything. If you leave Xiangzhou, you will need it."

It's true that iron money is commonly used in this dynasty, but iron money is very heavy and its purchasing power is not strong. In troubled times, it's depressed and materials are scarce. It's naturally much better to buy things with gold

In addition to living in a family farm, Hua Rong received a man's money for the first time in her life, as if it was the cost of supporting her family. Hua Rong felt warm in her heart and smiled: "will you keep your sister in the future?"

He nodded seriously, "well, we have never had a home. When the situation is a little more stable, I'll find a quiet place to buy a cabin, and my sister won't have to run around."

Hua rongben asked casually, but seeing that his answer was so serious, it was by no means perfunctory, and he was very moved. For a moment, he couldn't say anything. Hearing the water making tea gurgling, he poured him a cup of tea: "drink this, and see if it's good?"

Yue Pengju had been in the army for many years, and now they sat opposite each other so quietly. But seeing her cooking tea with bare hands, her heart jumped again. She took the tea and drank it dry. She couldn't say what it was like. She hurried to put the tea cup on the table, but she felt as if it was the feeling of home she had longed for countless times in her dream, warm and calm

Hua Rong didn't find anything strange about him, and smiled and asked him, "Peng Ju, you've been away for years, and there's no one to take care of you. It's time to get married and start a business. The ninth LORD rewarded you with a singer, why not?"

The legal age of marriage in this dynasty is 15 for men and 14 for women. Yue Pengju is almost 20 years old. He has no relatives. Hua Rong regards him as his own brother and once considered this issue for him. But for one thing, he is unable to marry him. For another, he is away all year round. Now he has some rewards because of his military skills, so he begins to care about his marriage plan

Yue Pengju blushed and just shook his head when he heard her ask

Hua Rong thought he was embarrassed. Besides, she didn't think much of rewarding the singer as a concubine, and said, "well, my brother is versatile, and my sister will help you pay attention to those talented and beautiful women in the future..."

Yue Pengju suddenly said, "sister, you don't have to worry about me. These things are not urgent."

"Hehe, it's OK. Wait until you kill the gold thief."

Speaking of killing the enemy, Yue Pengju's spirit came. They talked about the situation outside for a while. Hua Rong was more and more frightened. It seemed that Jin Jun was about to go all the way south. Yue Pengju's view was almost the same as Luda's

"Peng Ju, when will you start again?"

"It is estimated that in three days."

Only three days to stay? Hua Rong was very disappointed. He didn't hold back his troubles in his heart. It was useless to talk about them. Yue Pengju was about to leave, just worrying him

Seeing her uneasy expression, Yue Peng immediately said, "sister, what's bothering you?"

When he asked, Hua Rong couldn't help but sigh, and briefly explained the matter that King Qin came to the door. Only the ninth Lord didn't mention the marriage proposal, because since the ninth Lord himself said that Xu Caizhi was "making his own decisions", it was obvious that he would not do anything in a short time

Yue Peng held it up, but when he heard that King Qin still came to the door, he was already unbearable and angrily said, "sister, don't be afraid. I'll send him away. Sister, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you anymore."

Hua Rong felt relieved, laughed and said softly, "well, I'm not afraid of you."

This night, I don't know if I told Yue Pengju about my worries, and the flowers slept soundly Yue Pengju, on the contrary, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep He was originally alone, but he remembered that his sister was alone in Xiangzhou, and she was a woman. Everything was inconvenient, so it was not a long-term plan

The next morning, he got up and practiced his marksmanship for a while. After having breakfast, he just said to Hua Rong, and then changed his casual clothes and went out Originally, since King Qin had come to the door, he would naturally find it, but he had no time to wait for him to come by himself He has decided that before he leaves, he must solve the trouble for his sister first. Avoiding is not the way, so it's better to face it

Because of the war, Xiangzhou city also lost its former prosperity, but because the ninth Lord stationed here, it also brought a bit of weather. People came and went in the city, and people were panic stricken. Everyone was talking about the matter of the Jin army going south

Yue Peng looked around. There was no trace of King Qin in the streets. Although it was a small city, it was not easy to find someone Fortunately, King Qin is tall and easy to find in the crowd

In the evening, I finally found four strange people, one of whom was Li Xing, a pirate I had seen on the island before

He immediately left his mind and saw those people hurried to a brothel called "chunlaizhu" Will King Qin also be here?

He couldn't follow up. He just made a secret investigation and left for the camp. He planned to check again tomorrow

Next to some shops, he went first to buy a pair of calf leather boots, and walked a few steps. In front of him was a stall. The peddler greeted him politely: "brother, buy a hairpin for the lady, it's very cheap, as long as 30 money..."

He picked up the butterfly shaped jade hairpin handed over by the peddler. It was lifelike and exquisite. This was the first time he had seen this kind of thing in his life, but he felt it was extremely beautiful, so he bought one and held it in his arms

When I went back, it was already late. I saw Hua Rong looking at the door. When I saw him, I immediately laughed and said, "I'm looking for you to eat."

He strode over and handed the boots and jade hairpin to Hua Rong. "Here you are, sister."
