Although he was afraid that if he said it, it would be a dead end, and when he was about to struggle in the end, Zhang Xian's palm had grabbed onto his neck, and immediately, a heart biting pain shot into his heart, causing beads of perspiration to roll down his forehead.
Yue Pengju said in a solemn voice, "There is still a way for you to live after finding Hua Rong. "If you cannot find it, you will die …"
Qin Gui gasped, "And … A way out? "
"I also do not wish to be pursued by the imperial court. You are a spy for the Fourth Prince anyway. You and I both know this very well! "
Qin Gui knew that he would not be telling the truth today, it was truly a dead end, all glory and honors were just a dream, he might as well use his power to delay for a while, to see if he could find a chance.
"Tell me, where is it?"
"Thirty miles to the southeast …"
Zhang Xian looked at Yue Pengju, who nodded.
Abduction of Qin Gui was no small matter. Hence, they did not bring any of their elite soldiers, and only Yue Pengju and Yue Pengju broke in. He was afraid that Qin Gui would reveal his identity, so Zhang Xian was already prepared. He stuffed his mouth shut, took out a big gunny sack and threw Qin Gui inside and tied him up behind his back. Only a dozen horses were inside, and the two of them quickly rushed forward.
In the darkness of the night, Zhang Xian was carried on his back as he carried a big sack. No one knew what it was, and without even asking, Yue Pengju gave the order, causing the group to rush towards the southeast.
The horse galloped. At the intersection in front, the horse's hooves suddenly rose up. A gentle voice that seemed to be sighing deeply sounded in a sorrowful and sad manner, "Pengju, Pengju …"
His mind buzzed as he held onto the horse's head. His heart was like a tide as it violently boiled. It was his wife. His wife was in danger. He had been with her for more than a decade, and every time she was in trouble, he would have this terrible feeling, as if someone was pounding a knife on his heart to remind him.
"Sister Shi Qi … "Elder sister …"
He didn't know if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart or from the bottom of his mouth. All he knew was that he was fiercely grabbing onto the horse's mane and desperately running forward with the whip in his hand.
Outside the Town.
After several consecutive days of snow, the skies of the Southern Kingdom had also turned into a sea of silver. It was exceptionally enchanting. It was a magnificent manor, with red brick and jade tiles as well as a beautiful eaves. It was a gathering of the most exquisite architectural masterpieces of the Southern Dynasty. The bright glazed roof tiles were magnificent, and the decorative doors were meticulously carved. Especially the pair of jade qilins carved in an imposing navy blue on the door. Outside the door, there was a pair of stone lions that was commonly seen in traditional families.
On the door, there was a very elegant couplet:
Peach blossom water comes and goes in the spring
Where to Find the Immortal Source
This is two lines from a poem written by Wang Wei, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty at the age of 19. However, the style of the house did not match with the tranquil atmosphere of the secluded peach orchards. Like many other rich families' styles, there were guards at the entrance. They were all dressed in jovial attire and had an oppressing look of wealth. From the outside, they looked to be in harmony with each other. No one knew that some heavily armed guards had long since monitored the surroundings to the point where not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Silence.
The air was still, except for the sun, which shone through the window paper of the silk flowers, dappling and dappling, as if it were a painting.
Just at that moment, Jin Wushu's hand was struck hard by someone. The tip of the sword was pointed forward, and with a miserable scream, Hua Rong fell backwards.
Blood dripped from the tip of the sword and dripped onto the snow-white carpet, like a sad and beautiful flower. On Hua Rong's neck, the new wound had already completely covered the old one. However, the old one, which was so obvious, still floated out as if it was angry and unfair.
However, her body was completely limp on the large chair with her eyes closed. She had already collapsed.
Jin Wushu's gaze fell on Hua Rong's body, but he did not dare take another glance at him. The longsword in his hand slowly trembled. Did this woman die in the end? Or did he die at his hands?
This kind of bloody red color completely stimulated Wang Junhua. She screamed, but immediately remained calm and collected, because that woman was not dead yet. Just now, she was panicking and did not use his strength properly, so he did not control her sword. She looked at Fourth Prince in a daze, and became agitated, but he did not dare to stop the sword in his hands. She had always been a person who was good at seizing opportunities. He simply decided to not do anything at all and completely get rid of this huge threat in her heart.
She suddenly squatted down and picked up the big blade on the ground. It was the one Hua Rong had just thrown at her and beaten down by him.
With a "dang" sound, the broadsword fell to the ground and slapped her in the face. "How dare you make such a decision!"
She covered her face, not daring to believe it. She wanted to cry, but when she met Fourth Prince's terrifying and ferocious gaze, she couldn't even cry. She could only retreat backwards.
Jin Wushu's gaze became abnormally terrifying as the longsword in his hand suddenly changed directions. Angry emotions filled the air. This woman actually dared to take an inch after taking a step at a time. She was extremely pampered!
But, God knows, her body, she was sick to her stomach.
It was the first time Wang Junhua saw his gaze like this. An extremely terrifying feeling surged up from his heart, and his heart felt as if it had fallen into an icehouse. He trembled, and his consciousness became so clear: Fourth Prince wanted to kill him!
The man he loved the most wanted to kill him!
Why would he kill me? Because of that woman?
Jin Wushu took another step forward, and the door suddenly opened. A guard hurriedly came in: "Oh no, someone is slaughtering his way in here …"
Jin Wushu was slightly more clear-headed. "Who is it?"
"The people who have come are all Black s, I wonder who they are."
In the middle of the day, the Black was still covering her face. It was obvious that the person who came was not a kind person.
His expression changed greatly, "Quickly go. Everyone immediately retreat. "
"Yes."
Wang Junhua heaved a sigh of relief and finally cried out. "Young Master, what about Servant?"
He said sternly, "You go out the back way. You must not reveal any trace of your whereabouts. Once we get back, I'll tell you what to do. "
"Yes."
She was still thinking about the unconscious Hua Rong, and anxiously said: "Hurry up and kill her, it won't be good if Yue Pengju comes over … …"
In the blink of an eye, this woman still dared to think about this matter!
"Fourth Prince, quickly kill her. For your safety, the person who came was Yue Pengju … Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable … Hurry up... If you cannot do it, Servant will help you … "
Jin Wushu saw that she was still entangled with him, so he suddenly changed the direction of his sword: "Are you going or not?"
Wang Junhua did not dare say more, turned and ran.
Outside, the Horseshoe were getting more and more anxious. Jin Wushu did not know who they were, but if he could find out who they were, his big plan would be greatly affected. Especially if it was Yue Pengju, who knows what kind of terrifying twists and turns he would cause.
Without hesitation, he extended his arms and carried the unconscious Hua Rong to the carriage he had prepared a long time ago. Two trained coachmen immediately rushed their horses to the third side door.
Behind him were more than a dozen carefully chosen plainclothes guards. The situation was urgent, and more than a dozen horses were protecting the carriage as they galloped forward.
The carriage was driven by a horse, and the coachman was skilled at driving. There were only two people inside the carriage, and the horses galloped as if they were running, soon leaving the sound of the carriage far behind them.
Yue Pengju took the lead and ran at the front. As the morning sun shined on the horse's back, its dark mane emitted a black light.
In the distance, the gate was tightly shut. Two or three guards, who were holding long spears in their hands, shouted in a traditional manner, "Who are you?"
"Hurry and open the door, call your master out …"
The servants saw that the enemies weren't friendly, so after two or three strikes, one of the servants was knocked to the ground. He immediately opened the door and ran inside while wailing: "Old master, this is bad, there's a thief coming to rob us …"
A trembling old man was supported by two young maids and came out on crutches. His teeth and hair were all bald. You don't even ask where this place is, are you tired of living? "
When Yue Pengju saw old man's attire, he knew that there must be something strange going on. He immediately turned his horse around, just at this time, from the left side, a guard rode his horse over and whispered, "We've discovered a woman leaving from the outside …"
"Seize her!"
"I've got it."
Yue Pengju did not speak further, and immediately chased towards the left.
This extremely rich and luxurious courtyard covered a very wide area. Along the way, there were no other people's residences, making it seem somewhat remote. Yue Pengju galloped his horse and went over. In a secluded part of the forest, he saw that a guard had already brought a woman over. She had her head lowered, her hair in disarray, her face swollen, with obvious dried up blood stains. It was Wang Junhua. She was being escorted by a few guards as she escaped, but when she passed through the side door, she was intercepted by Yue Pengju's guards who spread out to search.
Although Hua Rong had seen Wang Junhua many times, Yue Pengju had never seen or knew her. Seeing how weird he was, she asked: "Wang Junhua, what are you doing here?"
When Wang Junhua heard him drink out his name in one gulp and see him cover his face, it was clear that he was an 'acquaintance', so he did not know that he actually recognized her. She panicked and knelt down, saying with a trembling voice: "Please spare me, please spare me …"
"Tell me, what business do you have here?"
"Servant, visit your friends and family …"
"Would family and friends leave with bruises all over their faces? "It is obvious that he is afraid of being a thief …"
"Servant is in danger, fall and fall …"
Yue Pengju looked carefully at her face and saw a fresh scar from his forehead to her face. How could family and friends be so miserable? It was obvious that they had fought for a while. He was worried for his wife's safety, and seeing Wang Junhua like that, he suspected that Hua Rong had landed in her hands.
Since he was already confirmed as Wang Junhua, then Yue Pengju would not be polite. He jumped down from the horse and grabbed her, and shouted: "Where is Hua Rong?"
"Servant doesn't know him … Who is Hua Rong? " Wang Junhua cried. "Servant is a relative …"
This slut actually had the same reaction as Qin Gui. As expected, they were a family.
"Relatives, what kind of relatives is this family?"
"This is a distant relative of the Servant, a cousin of the Chai Family … "If you don't believe me, you can investigate …"
After Yue Pengju heard this, his heart sank. After the dynasty came to be known, the Taizu took over the mountains and rivers from the Chai Family, so he gave orders to treat the descendants of the Chai Family well and protect the Chai Family's wealth. The Chai family lived in the north, who would have thought that there would be a branch in Jiangnan? If it wasn't for the Chai Family, who else would be so rich? But, what does the Chai Family have to do with Wang Junhua? He was glad that he retreated fast and didn't confront the Chai family members.
