C164 Princess Tianwei

The living room was burning with the giant tallow candles of the real woman, and the smell of smoke was strong. Jin Wushu held onto a jug of wine and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

Hua Rong said indifferently: "Your injuries have not healed, there's no need to drink anymore."

Jin Wushu suddenly became angry, and his face became so gloomy that water was almost coming out, "Hua Rong, you can go now! I have no use for you now. "You see, I can't even mobilize the army right now …"

Hua Rong did not make a sound.

He threw the jug of wine to the side, leaned back on the chair and said slowly: "When my second brother died, Zong Han immediately stirred up trouble, maybe we underestimated him, and did not expect him to take action so quickly. "I've always been a thorn in his side. He's probably going to cut me open first …"

She couldn't help but ask, "Wolf Lord listens to him?"

"Wolf owner hates him to the bone! But he has control over half of the Jinguo's troops, so he wants to force the edict to act first to gain the upper hand … "

"Are you just going to sit and wait for death?"

"Hua Rong, as matters stand, I will not hide it from you. In Jinguo, Zong Han's faction is very powerful, Zong Xian and Zong Jun are all close to him, and Gu Shen has control over the internal affairs of the imperial court, from the inside out, his power is greater than ours. Do you know what the order badge Zong Han just took out is? It was the order badge of the Old Wolf Master, and not the new Wolf Lord's. His actions, were to show that he was the true candidate for the Wolf Master. Second Brother and I had originally planned to fight him and completely defeat him, but it was unexpected that Second Brother had died in a hurry, disrupting our entire plan. Wolf Master had no other choice, he could only allow Zong Han to do whatever he wanted … "

So that's how it was.

"Zong Han hates me. The other Song Capture may be fine, but with your two bodyguards, he will definitely kill them to establish his dominance …"

Hua Rong was so shocked that she almost stood up. After interacting with them for so long, she had already become like a brother to Zhang Xian and the rest. No, she definitely could not let them scatter the Jinguo.

I am well aware of the situation the Empress Dowager Wei is in, and with her current state, she will not return to the Song Kingdom. You do not need to make any unnecessary sacrifices, and tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send you to the border.

She stared blankly and did not speak.

Jin Wushu seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, "Hua Rong, don't think too highly of yourself. If you act rashly and fall into Zong Han's hands, you will be even worse off than dead …"

She closed her eyes.

Jin Wushu said indifferently: "Hua Rong, go and rest early. I'll send someone to send you off tomorrow."

She sat still, but he got up and went out without a word.

The night was getting deeper and deeper.

Hua Rong was still sitting alone in the living room, looking at the thick smoke coming from the butter.

A figure flashed into the room like a ghost. His body was thin and frail, and his voice sounded panicked. "Miss …"

Hua Rong woke up from her stupor and immediately recognized that it was Princess Tianwei. She had wanted to talk to her during the day, but had never found a chance.

"Greetings, princess …"

However, Tian Wei kneeled down first. "Miss, have you come from Song Kingdom with any news from my The elder brother of the nine?"

She spent her days in the crown prince's mansion in seclusion, she did not even know that the The elder brother of the nine had already ascended to the throne.

Hua Rong helped her up, her eyes filled with pain: "Shangguan Family has already ascended the throne."

She revealed a joyous expression and her voice became a little louder, "The elder brother of the nine, will he lead troops to save us?"

Because of this simple sentence, Hua Rong was stunned. Only now did she remember that among all the Song Capture she had met, the first one to speak up for all the women was their husbands.

This was definitely not a peace negotiation!

No one mentioned the peace talks.

Only the captives understood the situation the prisoners were in. They did not beg for peace talks, so why were the Shangguan Family, and why were so many of the Song Kingdom's people hoping for peace talks?

Even the two Dying Monarchs.

Was there a huge difference between a man's way of thinking and a woman's?

She slowly asked Tian Wei, "Princess, it was Shangguan Family who sent me here to negotiate …"

"Peace?" Why did the The elder brother of the nine negotiate? "How can we reconcile people like the jackals and the wolves?"

It was completely different from the deep hatred she had at her age. Suddenly, she lifted up her dress, revealing her shoulders. She saw that the large and small wounds on it were all from whipping or pricking, "If we could negotiate, why would we be locked up here?"

Looking at the shocking wounds on her body, Hua Rong asked softly: "Jin Wushu tormented you?"

She miserably shook her head and said with tears in her eyes, "It was Wang Junhua who fought with the other concubine s in the Fourth Prince Palace … Other concubine s bullied their slaves but showed off her power. She did not dare to torture the captive woman, and only dared to take out her slaves to vent her anger … Although it was not personally done by the Fourth Prince, it was all thanks to him … "

Although it was not the Fourth Prince doing it, it was all thanks to him!

"Miss, if you are able to return to the Song Kingdom, please advise us not to negotiate. We can only try to help but we can't be saved. Only a strong army can save us …"

"Princess …"

Her voice turned low, "Humai, Bei Feng, as the princess of the Da Song, you can only stay in a foreign land for the rest of your life. Miss, if you are able to return to the Song Kingdom and hear the news of your slave's death, you can burn several thousand paper coins and ask for blessings for the Solitary Soul Camp … "

As Hua Rong heard her miserable voice filled with despair, her tears couldn't help but fall. Tian Wei bowed, turned around, and quickly walked out.

Hua Rong watched her back as she walked far away. After a long while, a person stood behind the screen with a pale face. It was none other than Jin Wushu.

His voice was indifferent. "Hua Rong, it's already deep into the night, why aren't you resting?"

Hua Rong's voice was indifferent as she went to pour a cup of tea for herself. The tea was already cold, and gave off a strong smell of milk.

Jin Wushu did not make a sound.

"Does Residence of the fourth prince have a plate of tea? I'd like a cup of tea I'm familiar with, would you? "

"Oh?"

Jin Wushu was startled and immediately shouted: "Men, bring the tea set!"

The two servants immediately brought out tea-mash s and a set of tea set, and placed them on top of a Desk. Hua Rong could see clearly that the tea leaves were of the best quality, the Dragon and Phoenix tea-mash s, and the tea set was of the highest quality produced by the kiln. In particular, the teacup was a sparkling and translucent rose like a jade.

Two servants came back with water and were about to operate them when Hua Rong stood up and walked over: "You two can leave, I will …"

The two of them retreated, and Hua Rong sat down. Jin Wushu stood at the side and looked at her coldly.

At this moment, she was wearing a simple dress prepared by the crown prince's residence. Her hair was tied up high, and she was wearing a light yellow Southern Empire dress. Only her delicate hands were extended, revealing a snow-white arm.

This was the first time Jin Wushu saw with his own eyes how the women of the Southern Empire brewed tea.

A row of delicate cups were set aside and the pot was filled with gurgling water. He didn't know if it was because his eyes were blurry or for some other reason, but he felt that when her delicate hands flew through the air, the water would form a colorful pattern. Only after looking for a while did he realize that it wasn't his eyes that were blurry, but rather that there really was a fish shaped pattern. In the steam, it looked like a dragon jumping out of a gate. He had already known that the Southern Dynasty's art of brewing tea was superb, but he didn't expect it to reach such a level.

He could not help but sit down opposite her, and the coldness was gone from his face. He stared at her, at the green, boiling water that was gradually turning transparent …

There was an unprecedented serenity in his heart. There was no longer any war, no smoke, no struggles between factions. It was as if he was in a vast and endless prairie, watching the blooming of spring flowers, listening to the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, living a peaceful life …

"Fourth Prince, please drink some tea …"

It was only when a pair of jade-like hands were extended and a rose-red teacup was offered to him that he was jolted awake.

Subconsciously, he took the teacup. The scalding tea water passed through the thin, crystalline surface of the cup and transferred the heat to his palm. Soon, his palm turned red. At the tip of his nose, there was a strong fragrance. It was completely different from the flavor of the milk tea in the Northern Kingdom.

He had clearly longed for this tea for a long time in his heart, but now he was holding it like it was a giant rock. Anger welled up within him, and with a flip of his hand, the tea cup fell to the ground, turning into a pile of pink fragments.

"Jin Wushu?"

He flew into a rage, "Hua Rong, are you feeling sympathy for this crown prince? Or are you looking down on this crown prince? "

Hua Rong looked at the pile of fragments on the ground, picked up another cup, drank from it herself and slowly stood up, "Fourth Prince, thanks to you protecting me, I was able to protect myself for the time being during my mission to the Jinguo this time.

She was leaving, this woman was leaving! Other people were cut off their robes to sever their righteousness, but she was simply making tea!

A cup of tea to settle the grudge between the two?

He no longer had any value in being able to save Zhang Xian and Liu Qi.

The Fourth Prince who once searched the mountains and picked up the seas, the Fourth Prince who had the ability to carry the cauldrons, was now a prisoner under house arrest with no power or authority.

Not even a woman.

"Fourth Prince, farewell!"

He didn't say anything as he watched her stand up and stride out the door.

At this moment, the moon was high in the sky and the stars were sparse. Wild birds were flapping their wings as they flew over the distant hillside. Jin Wushu watched her back as he left in a daze.

The sun had burned out its blazing flames, and the rugged mountain roads were white and hard, the trees green, the leaves thick, the whole earth green. The cool dew drops fell on the breathless earth and on the green mountain top. Slowly, half a moon climbed up. The sky was filled with the radiance of the stars. The sky turned into a black and white sky.

In the dense forest, there was the singing of the nightingale and the cries of various insects. A group of night pedestrians galloped on horseback, carrying pieces of their horses' hooves and wrapped them up, silently making a detour past the Jinguo's border, heading straight for the Yanjing.
