"No, Little Shang, don't worry about me."
"How could it be a minor injury? Is it serious? "
Her voice was anxious, but when he held her in his arms, it was impossible to tell where he was hurt.
King Qin stood at the side in a daze, watching the two of them crying as they embraced each other. He could clearly see that Yue Pengju's back, was struck hard by Jin Wushu in order to save him. Although it was not fatal, it would not recover in a short period of time.
This couple had all died because of him.
He had originally thought that if he met with Yue Pengju again, it would be a confrontation between swords. However, after that single glance, all of Yue Pengju's thoughts were focused on his wife, as he had completely forgotten about everything else. He only hugged his wife, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Intense regret, intense grief, and even intense anger.
If Yue Pengju were to slash on him, it would be good. With him like this, King Qin felt like his heart was about to collapse at some point, he was so angry that all the joints in his body were creaking and trembling.
The husband and wife did not notice the King Qin, but Zhang Xian kept their eyes on him quietly, to the point where they were on guard. Since Zhang Xian was rescued by him, and almost lost his life at his hands, it caused Hua Rong's current situation. It was difficult to determine whether he was an enemy or a friend. When Zhang Xian was fighting at sea, he had personally witnessed the conflict between the three of them. From the sea to the Jinguo, they had traveled several thousand kilometers. He had never experienced such a complicated thing and could only look at King Qin vigilantly. He did not know how to begin.
Zhang Xian supported Yue Pengju up: "Pengju, you and Madam should get on the carriage. Madam's body can only lie flat and not rock. "
Seeing his wife was so injured, Yue Pengju could not walk, so he did not refuse, and immediately carried Hua Rong onto the carriage. Hua Rong snuggled up to him in his embrace, completely not needing to waste her energy. It was as if her entire body was no longer that painful, and was filled with joy.
"Peng Ju, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you one last time …"
Yue Pengju held her hand tightly and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you. From today onwards, we will really not part ways."
At this moment, Hua Rong had completely forgotten about the sorrowful look in her eyes that she once wanted to leave him and never wanted to see him again. Her face instantly brimmed with light as she smiled.
Yue Pengju's eyes were stuttering, but he still kept smiling. No one knew better than him that his wife was already in such a desperate situation. Not for long.
If he hadn't left her time and time again! If it wasn't for him agreeing to her sending out an envoy to the Jinguo!
After being separated for so many years, he had never done his duty to protect her. In this chaotic world, there were many reasons why she was in such a desperate situation today.
A good man should protect his home and his country, but what about his wife? How had he ever done his duty as a husband? He had said many times that he wouldn't be separated from her. However, every time, it was all because of this kind of excuse. As a result, every time, they would be separated — even until they were about to part. He couldn't help it, and the tears fell again, and he held her tight, unable to say a word.
"Peng Ju …" She was gentle. She had a lot of things she wanted to say to him, lightly brushing the corners of his eyes. Such a strong man, crying like this. Was this still the Yue Pengju who used to be awe-inspiring and mighty?
"Hehe, Pengju, I will laugh at you …"
Once he said this, he could no longer hold it in and burst into tears.
It was the first time Zhang Xian and his group of subordinates saw him lose his composure like this, but no one dared to go forward and comfort him.
King Qin stood alone at the side. After hearing Yue Pengju's howls, he clenched his fists tightly and looked at the blazing sun in the sky, as if he was hoping that the blazing sun would blind him.
Yue Pengju cried bitterly for a while, then raised his head and grabbed the gentle hand that was stroking his face. He stopped crying, and the gentleness that he had not felt for a long time spread across his entire body.
"Well, what do you want to eat?"
"Let me think, I want to eat roasted rabbit meat …"
"After we go back, I'll go hunt rabbits and roast them for you …"
"Alright …"
The couple had a warm conversation and didn't notice that the carriage was on its way again.
The carriage moved very slowly, with Zhang Xian personally driving the horse carriage, the other nine cavalrymen following behind.
Beside King Qin was an empty horse for Zhang Xian. He placed Zhang Xian beside him, although he did not say anything, he still gave him the horse. But he didn't need horses at all.
The couple were completely immersed in the reunion after their death, completely ignoring everyone else. No one noticed the King Qin. Even Zhang Xian did not know what to do. If Yue Pengju did not say anything, King Qin would take over.
They walked forward step by step, and the King Qin followed after them.
That husband and wife did not even realize his existence, so Zhang Xian did not continue interacting with them. On their way, they realized that the King Qin was left behind. Zhang Xian looked around for a while, not caring about him at all. He thought that Yue Yang had already left, and relaxed slightly.
The carriage moved slowly, as if it was walking slowly. After about an hour, Zhang Xian inadvertently turned his head and saw the King Qin following behind him. In his hands was a large bundle wrapped in dense leaves.
The setting sun slowly sank from the sky like blood.
The carriage finally stopped at the camp of the Oolong Town.
Hua Rong smiled sweetly, "Have we arrived?"
"Yes, we're here."
Yue Pengju gently carried her down the carriage. At the door, it was a heavily guarded bodyguard.
He turned around as if he had only just discovered the trace of the King Qin.
Hua Rong also looked at King Qin, at the large package that was sealed with leaves in his hand.
Yue Pengju said indifferently: "King Qin, you can go back now!"
King Qin avoided his gaze and took a step forward, as if he wanted to talk to Hua Rong. However, Yue Pengju took a step back, as though flames were about to spew out of his eyes: "King Qin, leave immediately!"
King Qin was never afraid of anything in his life, and never took that "little bastard" seriously, but at this moment, he couldn't help but take a step back and didn't dare to retaliate at all.
"King Qin, you can go!"
King Qin still stood there, unmoving.
Hua Rong slowly spoke out in a very gentle voice, "King Qin, thank you for sending me back. "You can leave now. In the future, don't come looking for me again, and don't keep me in your mind …"
King Qin!
King Qin again!
It was only at this time that he remembered that ever since he had met that wuxiaozhong, she had called him "King Qin" along the way. It was no longer "Qin Shangcheng".
The difference between these two words was like the difference between heaven and earth.
With great difficulty, he tried to speak in a humble tone, but found it difficult to speak, "Girl, I … Can you …" Be your Brother of brotherhood? "
Yue Pengju was startled, and so was Hua Rong.
"Little girl …"
"NO!" King Qin, you better not look for me again! "
She knew very well that if she became the "Brother of brotherhood", she would give him an excuse to come knocking. What else? What's the point of getting entangled?
From then on, it was a foregone conclusion. Even if he wanted to become her Brother of brotherhood, he couldn't.
King Qin endured the wave after wave of pain from his chest and remained calm. He slowly wrapped up the leaf and tore it apart, immediately revealing the fragrance of barbecue.
"Girl, I'll give it to you."
It was a rabbit!
Zhang Xian immediately understood that after leaving for the last two hours, he had gone to hunt a rabbit, roasted it, and then returned. Although it wasn't difficult to kill a rabbit in the dense forest along the way, how much effort had he put into such a quick treatment?
He could hear what she said in the carriage, so softly, but he could hear every word as soon as she opened her mouth.
Looking at the rabbit, Yue Pengju was also startled. He originally hated the King Qin more than Hua Rong, and really wanted to kill him the moment he saw him. However, because of Hua Rong, he kept restraining himself, and endured by looking at her attitude. He simply did not know how to make a move against the King Qin.
Hua Rong shook her head indifferently, "No, I don't want to eat anything right now."
Yue Pengju also said solemnly: "King Qin, you can go."
King Qin slowly placed the rabbit on the side of the stairs and said slowly, "Girl, take care."
"Thank you, King Qin, you take care too!"
King Qin turned around and left. Because he was in a rush, he almost fell down.
Hua Rong hugged Hua Rong, looking over his shoulder, King Qin started to stagger. In his heart, he originally hated him to the extreme. He hated him for ruining her own life, hated him for harming herself. They hated him for making them unable to live happily ever after.
At this moment, the hatred slowly faded. 'Forget it, I only have a few days, why would I hate him? '
Why did he still bear grudges against this man who had saved him multiple times, regardless of his own life?
Once Jinying, once at sea, twice in saving her own life, would be enough to cancel his enmity.
It didn't matter if he lived, it didn't matter if he died. His life was fated to die in his hands, and he could do nothing about it.
King Qin ran a distance when she suddenly heard her gentle voice, "Qin Shangcheng, you have to take care …"
Qin Shangcheng!
He had become Qin Shangcheng again!
He stopped, but did not turn around. His chest heaved up and down.
Little girl, little girl!
He suddenly sprinted forward, and his figure quickly disappeared into the boundless night.
Oolong Town's camp.
Yue Pengju had never been this extravagant before in his life. He took out his own salary, and got a guard to go into the town to buy many things. Of course, in this remote military town, it was simply impossible to buy any truly good things, but those few were already enough to make Hua Rong beaming with joy:
A light yellow silk shirt, and a pair of light brocade boots. There was also a stack of good Xuan paper, as well as some odds and ends and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Yue Pengju carried her and placed her on the kang in the north. At this time, the kang had been replaced with a new cool cushion, and it was very comfortable for him to sit on.
He gently changed her clothes. They were new from the inside out. Hua Rong looked at the clothes and felt extremely happy. She smiled sweetly: "Pengju, is this how I look like?"
"It's nice to watch. It's really nice to watch."
He smiled and sat beside her. Everything followed her wishes, but he no longer showed any signs of grief. Because at this moment, no matter how much pain he had, it would be even more difficult for her to endure.
The two army doctors came together, and took turns taking Hua Rong's pulse. The two of them had been in the army for a long time and had seen countless internal injuries. However, the fact that someone was still alive after being injured like this was truly unheard-of.
