There was also that shocking old wound. It was something that he had threatened her with in the Liu Jia Temple, something that she had left behind to commit suicide.
In his heart, he was originally extremely resentful towards her. But now, that resentment slowly faded away for some reason.
Every time they met, it was either an enemy or a matter of life and death. Why couldn't they get along in a different way? Why? For example, the two of them could be in harmony with each other and talk about poems and zither. They could also cook tea with bare hands and add fragrance to the tea with their red sleeves. Why not?
He remembered the insults she had made against him, and he was frustrated. What could he do to make this woman docile and gentle, and to stop showing her fangs and brandishing her claws? This was a problem that he had been pondering over from the first day he met her. Even after so many years had passed, he still could not resolve it.
After sitting there for a while, he suddenly reached out and picked her up. They sat on the carpet together, took a water bag, and gave her a sip of water. As the cold water dripped down her throat, Hua Rong slowly opened her eyes in shock.
She panicked. Where was this? Where would he be taken? Where's my son? What about Pengju?
She lifted her head and touched the gentle veins of his eyes — and the image of his handsome, well-dressed young man. Jin Wushu liked it this way, he liked it this way. Although it was a wolf with a big tail, it always pretended to be a harmless lamb.
She almost jumped up. No one could understand the cruelty and ruthlessness behind his affectionate gaze more than she did. Kill me. In that moment, he personally killed me.
Since that was the case, why did he continue to pretend to have such a gaze?
She struggled as if her life depended on it and threw a punch at his chest, "evil thief, let go of me … "Let go …"
She was injured and unconscious, so she didn't have much strength left. He reached out to grab her hand and sighed. "Don't waste your energy …"
"Let me go!"
He shook his head and laughed, "The son is just ahead. We will catch up to him soon. For the sake of your son, do you have the heart to let him have no mother? "
Shameless!
Hua Rong really wanted to jump up and bite him, but she was held tightly by him and could not move at all.
His smile remained, and she said with satisfaction, "Hua Rong, I'll tell you the truth. There's nothing I can do about it now. You already know my secret, so I can't let you go back. Besides, I've used up all my patience with you in the past few years, and I don't want to waste any more time with you. This crown prince completely understood that for women, they could only use force. There was no need to be patient! So, you can only follow me back to Shang Jing. "
"In your dreams!"
He grabbed her struggling arm again. "Well, if you don't struggle like a mad bird, you'll be much better off …" He simply grabbed both of her hands and pressed them against his chest. After that, he stretched out a hand and gently caressed her messy hair and long eyelashes before lightly sighing, "Sigh, a woman must always cherish herself. I have never seen such a crazy woman like you. Why are you tormenting yourself like this? "
Her pair of big hands caressed her face, making him look like the most sinister caterpillar. Hua Rong felt like spitting blood, and said hoarsely: "Jin Wushu, you can kill me now …"
"Kill you?! Why would I kill you? " He smiled, "Think about it yourself, how many chances do I have to kill you? From the Liu Jia Temple, to the battlefield, and then to the time you dispatched your Jinguo! Hua Rong, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done so a long time ago. "No, if I don't kill you, I definitely won't …"
She gave a cold snort, wanting to look at her own neck. However, she couldn't look down and could only say, "Stop pretending to be kind."
"Fake? If I had been a hypocrite, I would not have shown you so much mercy. Hua Rong, this prince has never shown such mercy to any woman before … However, if you continue to be stubborn, what awaits you is not the honor of the queen, but the lowliest concubine, letting you know what kind of fate you will experience if you disobey this crown prince … "
She was not the least bit afraid of his intimidation as she sneered: "Is your scheme with Qin Gui really perfect? "If I'm missing, someone will naturally investigate …"
He snorted disdainfully. If he pursued the matter, how could he pursue it?
"Hua Rong, I will never hide this from you. This time, I will tell you the truth. As for Miao Liu, I have already made arrangements. They probably already found a mother and son who are similar to you and Wen Long and sent into the army. You were taken by them, and they will soon make a public announcement. Who would suspect me? "Hahaha …" He laughed proudly, "Your disappearance has nothing to do with me. If you have to blame someone, blame it on Miao Liu …"
Hua Rong originally had a glimmer of hope, but as long as Miao Liu didn't have any hope, Pengju would naturally suspect Qin Gui and his wife. However, Jin Wushu's actions, definitely had a thorough plan and plan.
Jin Wushu saw that her gaze shifted downwards and naturally understood what she was thinking, and immediately said: "Hua Rong, if things develop further, I will fulfill your wish."
A wish? What kind of intentions did he have that required him to fulfill them?
"Didn't you hate me to the bone? Since you want to die many times, I will satisfy you. But, I won't kill you with my own hands, I promised you, didn't I? "But if you must die, I will help you …"
She looked at him warily, as if considering his "path of fulfillment."
His eyes were ferocious, but his tone was warm and sincere, as if he was talking to an old friend, "Hua Rong, you should be clear about how I have treated you all these years. If you say you don't want to be the concubine, then I will sincerely leave you the position of the First Wife. However, you don't treasure it, and trample over my heart in every way possible … " The carriage was very bumpy, so his voice was intermittent, "You guys claim that after the 'great calamity', countless of princesses and princesses fell to be the concubine's servant girls. Even someone as noble as the Princess Maude or the Princess Tianwei had personally witnessed their encounters. Every single one of them had the identity of a concubinage. And you, Hua Rong! I have repeatedly promised you that I will give you the highest position and the highest respect a woman can have so that you can be their principal wife. Perhaps, it is precisely because I have too much respect for you that you are actually unable to recognize good intentions and want more. Could it be that you are even more noble than the Princess Maude? Your Song Kingdom man is afraid of death, your woman is shameless and lewd, what is so special about you, Hua Rong? Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then I shall do as you wish and let you know the taste of concubine … "
She only sneered and did not make a sound.
"Hua Rong, you scared?"
"…"
At this time, a ray of sunlight shone in through the slightly parted curtain and onto the Nine Revolutions Pearl's belt on Jin Wushu's body. The large pearl emitted a warm brilliance, causing his white clothes to be even whiter than snow, and he looked like an elegant and refined young master.
Who would have thought that such a talented person would have such a despicable heart?
Jin Wushu threatened his again, thinking that she would scold him again. However, she didn't scold him, and there wasn't much anger on her face. He only extended his hand slightly to touch his neck, as if it was in pain. She could feel pain? How could this heartless woman know pain? When he saw her staring at him, he could not help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
Hua Rong smiled slightly: "This jade belt of yours, you stole it from the Song Kingdom as well?"
He was stunned for a moment.
"Your clothes, is also from Song Kingdom. Tsk tsk tsk, Jin Wushu, look at yourself. From head to toe, even your hair belongs to my Song Kingdom … " "Since you look down on Song Kingdom so much, then why do you yearn to see the Song Kingdom so much?"
He sneered: "Because I, the crown prince, want to subdue you! Zhao Deji, wait, in less than three or five years, this crown prince will lead the elite troops of White Mountain Black Water, and bring Zhao Deji to the Five Kingdoms and decadence as a companion. "
"Very good!" She was very straightforward, "Without Zhao Deji, there might be someone much more wise than him. Just based on the fact that he heavily values Qin Gui, I can tell that he won't be a great person if I give you a normal eye. As long as he is here, Da Song will not count on him being truly interested in the future. "
Jin Wushu was startled. It was strange. For a king, it would be disrespectful to call him by his first name if he was not someone close to him. However, as the emperor, when "Zhao Deji" referred to him by his first name, it was obvious that there was not much respect in his heart.
He curiously asked: "Hua Rong, since it's you who is looking down on Zhao Deji, why do you want to work so hard for him?"
Hua Rong looked at him with a sad expression, as if he was a "rotten tree that couldn't be carved." Jin Wushu was frightened by her gaze and asked reluctantly: "What do you mean?"
She cleared her throat and said slowly: "I am not working hard for Zhao Deji, but I am afraid that the moment the power passes through Miao Liu and the others and reaches someone as ambitious as you, my Da Song will be done for! Jin Wushu, you have also personally witnessed the Huaiyang's massacre. In a single night, Yangzhou City was roamed around by a mere 5000 Golden Army, all of them were robbed, all of them burnt and killed, and all of the women were humiliated. It's not only me, as long as you guys are Song people s with the slightest bit of guts, you would definitely not sit by idly and watch such a barbaric and shameless act like you guys. You're laughing at my stupidity, aren't you? But, let me tell you, in my Da Song, there is an army called the 'Eight-shaped Army', whose face is engraved with the words' Innocent Return, Vow to Kill gold cuttlefish '. They have fought with the Golden Army multiple times, and have repeatedly defeated your reputed elites, moving about unhindered! Who are they loyal to? It's the Zhao Deji who is loyal to my Da Song, not the Zhao Deji that you think she is. If the Song people does not resist, the next time the Huaiyang is massacred, it will probably go to Yan'an, Xiangyang, and the entire land of the Song Kingdom, until your Big Gold completely exterminated all of my Song people. But, let me tell you, my Song Kingdom's population is tens or even a hundred times that of your Great Golden Man's, and not everyone is as cowardly as you might say. As long as someone stands up and raises his arms, that person would be a gathering of people.
Jin Wushu did not interrupt her this time and listened carefully. A strange feeling welled up in his heart once again, as if he was not facing a captive but a woman instead, Lu Deng, Li Ruoshui and the other girls.
He leaned against the carriage and listened to the sound of the wind as the carriage sped away. He lifted the curtain again and looked out at the sunlit world. It was impossible for the snow in the Southern Kingdom to be thick. The moment the sun shone, the snow melted, and the evergreen plants of the Southern Kingdom were still as lush as before. It was completely different from the world of black water in the North Mountain.
