Chapter 58

Lord Zong took the opportunity to say, "the Jin people are so cruel that the ninth Lord must not fall into their trap again."

The ninth Lord looked around, sat down, and said loudly, "set out tomorrow, meet with all the king's divisions, and discuss the plan to expel the golden soldiers!"

Everyone was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to take orders: "yes! We will follow the Lord to the death, expel the golden soldiers, and revive the rivers and mountains."

The ninth Lord deployed the next military action one by one. Seeing that Yue Pengju was not seriously injured and that he was extraordinary brave, he thought a little and said, "Yue Pengju, you lead a pioneer to join the Sichuan Shaanxi army of King Qin and set out tomorrow."

The bounden duty of a soldier is to go to war Yue Peng was overjoyed when he got the chance to use it again: "yes."

He glanced at Huarong and looked at himself with a happy face And I'm happy for him to get the chance again Hua Rong felt a move in her heart and looked at him. The eyes of her sister and brother met and she immediately understood that Hua Rong wanted to fight with him He nodded slightly and was about to ask for orders. He only heard the ninth Lord's concern: "Peng Ju, is there a big problem with the injury?"

"No problem."

"Very good. Yue Pengju, you are loyal to the Lord, and you are rewarded with a hundred liang of gold. In addition, Princess Wan Wan was saved by you and was escorted by you all the way to get out of danger safely. Now that the country is broken and her family is dead, Wan Wan has nowhere to go, so she will marry wan wan to you, and at the same time, she will reward a house in the west of the city as a marriage house. When the war slows down, the king will marry you two in person. You can rest assured that you can lead the army and Wan Wan Wan will stay in the Zhizhou mansion..."

As if it were a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Hua Rong stood aside, stunned

Yue Pengju also panicked so much that he didn't know what to say. He just shook his hand vigorously, "Lord, don't ever..."

The ninth Lord was very surprised: "why not?"

"The golden soldiers are not destroyed, and they dare not do anything at home. In the end, they will not be able to marry Princess Wan Wan!"

People in the hall were envious of the ninth Lord's generous reward to Yue Pengju. It was obviously that Yue Pengju had made great contributions to his rescue Seeing his refusal, he thought he was modest. Lord Zong came to regard him as a disciple and was very happy for him. He immediately said, "Peng Ju, the LORD loves you, and you don't have to refuse any more..."

Yue Peng was so anxious that he was sweating: "the prince made atonement, and the villain dared not marry the princess..."

Seeing his firm refusal, the ninth Lord said strangely, "have you been married?"

"No."

"Parents object?"

"The villain's parents died."

"What else do you refuse? Is it because you dislike the runaway princess?"

"No. however, a villain must not marry the princess..."

The ninth Lord's eyes turned to Hua Rong and said with a smile, "marriage is always about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Yue Pengju has no parents, so the eldest sister is the mother. Hua Rong, you will be the master for your brother, how about it?"

The eldest sister is the mother!

Hua Rong was shocked, but she couldn't get back to her senses. Her head was buzzing. She didn't know whether such a marriage brought Yue Pengju a good thing or a bad thing

She rolled her eyes in a panic, and saw that the people around her were all envious. She herself had been divorced for many years, and had never understood such sophistication, nor did she know what to say

Yue Pengju saw that she was panicked by the questioning, and couldn't help but ask to answer for her. She only heard her slowly say, "Peng Ju is not my brother. I don't dare to pretend to be 'elder sister'. He makes his own decisions about his affairs. It's inconvenient for me to interfere."

The ninth Lord laughed, "OK! Yue Pengju, since your sister doesn't object, this matter is settled. You can go to the battlefield and your family will be looked after by others..."

Yue Peng raised the sweat on his head and fell down: "Lord nine, please forgive me, I can't marry the princess..."

Lord Zong was very impatient. Yue Pengju was really unkind, and the reward sent to the door was also extrapolated He has always appreciated Yue Pengju, and has the intention to keep this good marriage for him. He shouted: "Yue Pengju, at a very moment, there is no need to refuse. The ninth Lord sincerely loves you. I have a friendship between teachers and students with you, and I am your teacher. Now, I will be your master and decide this marriage. Wait for the war to slow down a little, and choose another auspicious time to marry you..."

In full view of the public, where can Yue Pengju say half a sentence? His eyes couldn't help looking at Hua Rong, but he saw her quietly retreating to one side, and he couldn't see her face clearly under the candle light

"OK, that's it. It's not early. Let's take a rest and set out tomorrow. Yue Pengju is injured, recuperate for a day and set out the next day."

"Yes."

This is the boudoir of the daughter of the former magistrate, which is temporarily sorted out for Princess Wan Wan Wan Wan sat beside the charcoal with a thick brocade quilt and looked uneasily at the door

After a long time, Li opened the curtain and came in with a happy face: "Miss, I just heard a good news."

"What good news will there be in this chaos?"

"The ninth Lord ordered that you be betrothed to young master Yue."

Wan Wan was surprised and said, "really? What did Mr. Yue say?"

"Young master Yue naturally declined a few words..."

Wan Wan blushed, "why did he refuse?"

"The young man was thin skinned, but he quickly accepted it. The young lady had both talent and beauty. It was obviously too late for young master Yue to like it." Seeing Wan Wan's silence, Li Shi thought that the young lady disliked low climbing, Persuasion way: "if in peacetime, the young lady can still marry a better marriage, now the war is in chaos, precarious, you need to have a man with high skills like young master Yue to protect it reliably. Besides, young master Yue is a talented person, reliable personality, and even the first-class young man in the capital can't compare with him. At this time, he is poor, and he will be promoted by the Lord in the future, and he is afraid that he can't be promoted to the rank? Young lady, you will be wronged first..."

Wan Wan shook her head and blushed: "no injustice, I liked brother Yue very much the first time I saw him..."

Li Shi said happily, "now, the young lady has landed all her life, which is also a great blessing in misfortune."

"Nurse, brother Yue is going to fight the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"I want to see him."

"Go again tomorrow. In the middle of the night, he was injured and had a rest early..."

"Just because he was injured, I have to go and have a look..."

"That's right..." Li Shi laughed. "Miss, I'm confused. I used to be the son of Yue, but now I'm my uncle. My uncle is injured. Naturally, miss should go and have a look."

"Nurse, you laugh at others."

A pot of charcoal was burning in the living room, and there was a crack from time to time

Hua Rong and Yue Peng sat by the brazier. For a moment, they didn't know what to say His arms and chest were wrapped with thick gauze. Hua Rong asked in a low voice, "Peng Ju, is it still painful?"

He shook his head

After a while, Hua Rong raised her head and saw that he had been looking at her. She smiled and wanted to congratulate him. However, when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything. Her heart seemed to be filled with small gravel, so she couldn't breathe. She was also panicked. She had never had such a strange feeling in her life, sadness, fear, anger, pain... All kinds of feelings were intertwined, but she couldn't say anything

"Sister..."

"Peng Ju!" She kept her mind steady. When her brother grew up, he should start a family and start a career, shouldn't he? Just, why do you feel heartache when watching him marry someone else?

She forced a smile and said, "you are injured. Go to bed early and go out the day after tomorrow."

Yue Pengju said nothing

Neither of them mentioned the marriage granted by the ninth Lord. Hua Rong deliberately avoided it, but Yue Pengju didn't know how to speak at all

Outside the door, someone knocked, and then there was an extremely clear voice: "brother Yue..."

The door was pushed open, and a cold wind poured in. Wan Wan was dressed in snow-white fur. She looked like an elf. Li followed her, smiling

"Brother Yue, sister Hua, you are all here..."

"Well."

Hua Rong answered with a strong smile and saw that Wan Wan had sat down beside Yue Pengju: "brother Yue, are you injured? Is it serious? Does it hurt?"

Her tone was intimate, and she also took a bag of things in her hand: "this is the snack prepared by the chef of Zhizhou Prefecture. It doesn't taste very good. Later, I'll cook it for you myself. Brother Yue, are you hungry? Eat quickly..."

Li Shi also said: "uncle, you have a taste, Miss specially brought it for you..."

Uncle?

Hua Rong was extremely harsh to hear. She was stunned for a moment, and then came to her senses. Peng Ju was indeed her "Uncle"

She casually looked at Yue Pengju, but saw his face flushed and shook her head, "no, I'm not hungry. Go back first."

"Brother Yue, I'll stay here tonight to take care of you..."

"Uncle, you should eat more and take good care of yourself as soon as possible. In the future, my miss will be taken care of and protected by you, and I will be relieved..."

Because of being given a marriage, it's justifiable!

Hua Rong couldn't watch any more. She felt dizzy and was eager to leave here

"Peng Ju, I'm sleepy. Go to have a rest first."

"Sister..."

Wan Wan heard Yue Pengju call her, turned her head, smiled and said, "sister, you've worked hard. I'll take care of brother Gu Yue tonight. Go and have a rest..."

"OK, I'll leave Peng Ju to you. I'm leaving."

She turned and left. Yue Peng stood up and said, "sister..."

She walked out without looking back. Wan Wan accidentally looked at Yue Pengju: "brother Yue, sister Hua is tired. Let's talk about something tomorrow..."

Yue Pengju looked at Hua Rong's back disappear, and then looked back: "I have something else to do, it's inconvenient here, princess, you go back first."

"Brother Yue, why is it called the princess? Call me 'Wan Wan'..."

"Yes, uncle, it used to be called 'Wan Wan', but now it's split?"

"No! At that time, I didn't know the identity of the princess. Now, I dare not take the liberty. Please go back, princess."

Wan Wan saw that his attitude was cold. No longer as polite as before, her eyes seemed to have a very anxious taste of rejection. She was stunned. After all, she was a smart girl. Although she was wronged, she immediately pulled the nurse: "let's go first..."

Li Shi was shrewd and laughed happily. "Let's see my uncle again tomorrow."

"No, I'm in good health. You don't have to come to see me!"

Li stopped making a sound and helped Wan Wan away

Back in the bedroom, Wan Wan frowned, sat at the table, held his cheek in his hand, and didn't go to bed

Li Shi came to help her: "Miss, I can finally sleep safely after running for so long. Go and have a rest."

Wan Wan was a little uneasy: "nurse, do you think brother Yue is not willing to marry me?"

Li Shi smiled: "good miss, you think too much. You are both talented and beautiful, and it's too late for master Yue to be happy. Besides, this is a royal wedding..."

"But how do I feel that he likes sister Hua?"

"Nonsense, Miss Hua is several years older than him. They are just sisters and brothers."

Wan Wan hesitated and said, "they are not brothers and sisters. I asked on the way. Sister Hua is only four years older than brother Yue. She looks small and looks four years younger than brother Yue. Maybe..."
