These firearms had been continuously manufactured by the Lei Family over the past six months, from the basic stink bombs, fire tribulations, communication fireworks, to the newly invented pear blossom gun and fire cannon … King Qin had bought it before, but never on such a large scale, because it required financial support. The small fry who were already following the army's arrangement were all surprised and proud upon seeing such a grand occasion. They gradually realised that they were no longer robbers, but instead an elite army.
On a five-tooth warship of Coiled Dragon Island, the sail had been raised. The warship that was loaded with firearms was about to leave, sailing to the coastline a few hundred miles away and armed the cruiser.
King Qin looked at these treasures ecstatically, thinking of the ecstatic and greedy expression Ye Lvdayong showed when he saw them — as if his Qidan Empire was about to be revived.
King Qin picked up a Pear Blossom Spear and walked onto the deck outside. A sea bird flew past, he aimed and shot, and with a loud noise, the sea bird flapped its wings and rushed to the beach in front of them, leaving behind a pool of blood.
The lackeys erupted into cheers, "Great King, Great King, Great King!"
He had to pay a huge price to only get seven or eight of these. If he could buy another few thousand of these, armed with the most elite of pirates, he was confident that he would be able to beat up the Guai Zima, who was reputed to be unrivalled in the Golden Army, even if he went ashore right away, much less on land or sea.
Unfortunately, to obtain thousands of floral pear spears, who knows when it would be possible.
The three horses rushed to the mouth of the sea. As soon as they stopped, the people on the horses dismounted. The horses at the front screamed and foamed at the mouth. They immediately died of exhaustion. After running for many days and nights, Hua Rong was now like a horse that had failed. Her legs felt weak on the beach and she could fall down at any time.
A patrol boat came by. She called out a few times and took out a token. The person on the boat looked at it and immediately said, "Please board the boat …"
Ma Chao and the others dismounted from their horses and removed the head of the Little Tiger on their back. Hua Rong hugged their son, causing the head of the Little Tiger to seem as if it had fainted from running.
Seeing that the three were about to board the boat, the small fry shouted: "Our rule is that only one person is allowed to go, who will go?"
Hua Rong did not hesitate at all: "Ma Chao, wait for me on the shore."
"Yes."
As they sat in the small boat, the two small fry s looked at the disheveled woman from time to time. They were surprised to find that her face was green and purple, as if she was running away and was about to be dehydrated. Hua Rong didn't care about their surprised gazes and only anxiously looked at his son. Although the Little Tiger's head was strong, it was still a young child. How could it withstand such a bumpy ride? The child who was still crying, suddenly cried again after Hua Rong patted his face and pinched his cheeks. She quickly took some water she brought with her and placed it next to his mouth, letting the child suck on it until he recovered his strength.
The child, seeing the ocean for the first time, quickly started to giggle. Hua Rong hugged him and taught him over and over again, "Uncle … Call him uncle … Do you remember? "
"Uncle …" Heehee … Ah … Mom... "Water..."
She looked at her son's chubby little arms that were constantly flailing about, full of vitality. She gradually felt more at ease. Holding him in her arms, mother and son both looked at the distant sea and sky.
After the small boat flew for four hours, green and yellow continuously rose and fell in Hua Rong's line of sight — two different colors appeared on the winter island. One was a large area of ginkgo trees with yellow leaves all over the ground, while the other was an evergreen broad-leaved tree, which was extremely thick and green.
A ship drove over, and the small fry shouted loudly, "Reporting to General Liu, someone is looking for the King!"
A man appeared on the deck. Hua Rong looked over and saw that it was Liu Wu.
Liu Wu was also shocked, he anxiously ordered the boat to approach the shore, he stepped forward and greeted Hua Rong with a bow, "Madame Yue, why are you here?"
Hua Rong held his son, feeling mixed emotions and could only shake his head.
With both feet on this evergreen island, one could see the festive atmosphere of the lanterns and flowers. Her hold on his son weakened and Little Tiger's head almost fell to the ground. She reached out and hugged his son tightly before asking: "Liu Wu, what's this on the island?"
Liu Wu smiled and replied respectfully: "My King must have gotten engaged three days ago. This was left behind during the engagement celebration."
The King Qin is married?
She was startled for a moment before asking: "Is she Ye Lvdayong's daughter?"
Liu Wu did not answer his question, "Her name is Li Tinglan, she is the daughter of a famous family on the continent."
Hua Rong heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she was not Ye Lvdayong's daughter, King Qin did not need to be held hostage. Since he agreed to the marriage, she should like it. She was very pleased with this news — even if this was the case, she would not have to worry about him in this life. King Qin would definitely live a good life, wouldn't she?
It's just that, when King Qin marries, he will definitely have his own children. If I come to trouble him again, wouldn't that be a bit too much of a burden? She stood hesitating for a moment, full of confidence, but now he was discounted.
"Madame Yue …"
She quickly regained her senses, and Liu Wu respectfully asked: "I will bring you to see the King right now."
"Thank you very much."
On the five-tooth warship, King Qin was in the middle of studying the Pear Blossom Spear, this kind of mysterious weapon.
He did not think much of it, and continued to look at the spear in his hands with his head lowered. Hearing the report from the small fry, he said, "My King, Liu Wu has brought someone to meet you …."
"Who is it?"
"Liu Wu said Madame Yue."
"Madame Yue?"
He stood up and saw that on a boat that was close to Liu Wu, there was a woman holding a child in her arms. It was Hua Rong.
At this time, Hua Rong and her son had already landed on the shore. One of the small fry pointed in the direction, and Hua Rong walked over with big strides while carrying the child.
Ten steps away.
Three steps away.
King Qin stopped in his tracks and looked at the haggard and anxious woman in front of him. It was unknown how many days it had been since she had last seen him, but her appearance had completely changed. It was as if her body was filled with wind, and all the strength in her life was focused on travelling. She had almost flown all the way from Lin An to the sea. No matter how fast an ordinary person was, they would need at least half a month to reach the sea. However, she had only taken eight days to reach the sea. His appearance from the past had been ruined on the road, leaving only his exhausted body.
King Qin couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.
Hua Rong put down the child in her embrace. "Tiger head, kneel down, kowtow to uncle …"
This was the first time the child's feet touched the sea sand. He was clever, and after his mother's many tutelage, he immediately kneeled down obediently. He raised his hands above his head and kowtowed. With a clear and melodious voice, he said, "Uncle …"
King Qin's gaze was fixated on the disheveled woman in front of him. The hair that had been tidied up a little when they boarded the ship had once again been blown loose by the sea breeze, and her eyes were sunken in, her expression gloomy. No, this was not the same young look that the little girl, Shi Qi, had in the island that time. She no longer had this look of youth in her eyes. When he heard the word 'uncle', he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He did not answer, but reached out his hand and scooped up the child who seemed to be kowtowing. He looked closely at the bright red, dirty face. Especially those eyes, they were round and large, and they flowed with intelligence.
The tiger head's large eyes looked at the large eye in front of him and was shocked. Just as he was about to cry, King Qin raised him above his head. This was the first time a child saw an especially blue sky above an adult's head. The endless sea and the multicolored seashells by the seaside were everywhere. She was so excited that she was dancing with joy, "… "Put me down, I want that …"
King Qin put him down as he staggered towards the nearest purple shell. As if he had found a treasure, he grabbed it and laughed as he went to pick up another one. Liu Wu ran over and smiled: "Madame Yue, I'll help you look after the Little Tiger's head."
"Thank you very much."
Only now did King Qin look at the lady in front of him. Hua Rong also looked at him. Their gazes intersected, and King Qin said indifferently: "Are you thirsty? "Let's go up and take a seat."
It was winter on the island, and the sun was high in the sky. It was completely different from the inland area. Under the row of ginkgo trees, there was a table and two chairs. Hua Rong sat on the chair, took a sip of the tea, and sighed. Life was full of twists and turns. She had never expected that it would end like this one day. She had nowhere to go and could only seek help from the only person she could ask for.
The King Qin sat opposite to her, staring at her blankly. He did not comfort her, nor did he speak. She was speechless for a long while, then wiped her tears and said softly: "Qin Shangcheng, I have a request for you today."
"Girl, Zhao Deji is going to kill you?"
"Yes." Zhao Deji ordered Qin Gui to arrest Zhang Xian, Sun Ge and the others, who were all imprisoned in the Jail Temple Prison. On the day I set out, he even sent people to assassinate the Little Tiger's head. Fortunately Peng Ju rushed back in time and saved us … "
"Damn it, when Yue Pengju first went to Chuzhou, you should have escaped with him …"
She calmly replied, "It's not like we haven't thought about it. But where would the greatest powers of the world go? Initially, we had thought that the promise of the Taizu not to kill the ministers would at most be the result of an exile. I just didn't expect that you would have to die! "
"That was Jin Wushu's doing. He must be in the contract, he must want to kill Yue Pengju! This gold cuttlefish, is not a match for Yue Pengju on the battlefield, so he will do something funny … "
Hua Rong shook her head: "No! It's not Jin Wushu, it's Zhao Deji! "
King Qin was startled. It was indeed Zhao Deji. The main culprit behind all of these was Zhao Deji. As long as he was slightly human, how could he agree to Jin Wushu's conditions? If Jin Wushu did not mention it, he would still kill Yue Pengju. He suddenly remembered the turquoise bottle on his chest. It was a fertile medicine and it had to be given to Zhao Deji to consume. But, how could he give it to Zhao Deji?
The Little Tiger walked over shakily, holding a shell in her hand, she said excitedly: "Mom … "Mom …" had already fed him water, and he had even eaten some fruits and tea. King Qin looked at this child unblinkingly. The only child he was close to was the former Xiao Luwenlong. Now, he saw the Little Tiger's head again, and looked at his pair of sparkling clear eyes. Those were the girl's eyes!
The little guy actually had a pair of eyes that were exactly the same as his mother's. Even his long eyelashes drooped down onto his eyelids, opening and closing at a time. If it wasn't for his fat forehead and cheeks, he would have been treated like a beautiful little girl. Tiger Head, this is the little girl's son! It was the blood of her direct kin. For a moment, he was so excited, as if he were his own son, as if he had been dreaming. He could not help but extend his hand and gently pinch the Little Tiger's chubby face. The Little Tiger giggled as it reached out its hand and continuously pushed him. It only placed the shell in front of its mother, "Mother … "Look …"
