"This …"
"Yue Pengju is not related to you for no reason. Kangkang, could it be that you will risk your life to save him?"
Kanggong shook his head and said sharply: "His life and death originally had nothing to do with me."
"Then isn't that right?" Wang Jixian revealed a sinister smile, "As long as you and I don't say anything, if something happens to Shangguan Family, how can we blame it on you? That is something that will happen two years from now. There will be no proof … "
The Kanggong had no other choice, he naturally would not risk his life to save Yue Pengju. He also knew that he could not stay in the palace any longer.
It had been snowing continuously for several days, and the dusk sky was gloomy, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Hua Rong sneaked out from the right door of the Yueyuan. She climbed up a tree and sat there motionless. Around half an hour later, a dozen black shadows quietly surrounded them from the east. She looked to the north and saw figures. Zhao Deji made his move, he was really going to make his move.
Since he had already made a move on him, the date of Pengju's death was not far. Her heart thunders. Tonight, tomorrow? She jumped down from the tree, took a detour and ran out, stepping onto the horse she had prepared long ago, heading straight to Jail Temple Prison.
Dismounting from the horse, she swaggered in and took out a jade token. It was the wedding gift Zhao Deji gave her when she escaped from the sea. She took a basket and opened it. Inside were some dishes and wine. Her cheeks streamed with tears: "Master Zhou, please allow me one last look at Peng Ju."
It was Wednesday that was on duty. She was afraid to see Yue Pengju's wife on Wednesday, so she took out the current Son of Heaven's jade plate. Thinking that she, a woman, being alone was just a last gift for his husband. However, thinking about Qin Gui's strict orders, she was going to execute him tomorrow and not allow anyone to visit him, so she was somewhat hesitant.
Hua Rong pleaded bitterly: "I am also a Peng who has not been in this world for long, he loves to eat the food I make. This last time, I hope that Master can be merciful and will remember this in the future."
After hesitating for a while, Wednesday finally nodded her head, "Madame Yue will leave early. Otherwise, lower official will not be able to take responsibility."
Hua Rong immediately thanked her and brought the basket in.
A row of cells, Yu Peng, Sun Ge, Zhang Xian and more, Pengju, where is Pengju?
Hua Rong's gaze landed on the unconscious Zhang Xian, and when the others heard her enter, Yu Peng immediately whispered: "Madame Yue, why are you here?"
Before Hua Rong could reply, an evil grin sounded in her ears as Moqi Wai walked in from the outside. "There's a path to heaven, but you're not taking it. With a wave of his hand, over a hundred armored guards had already sealed off the prison entrance, "Capture the traitorous Hua Rong …"
Even Wednesday was stunned, except for a group of prisoners. He thought of something and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lord Moqi, His Majesty has issued an edict that cannot be punished more than the family members …"
"She is a traitor. Someone reported her colluding with the Fourth Prince of Jin Guo and captured …"
Hua Rong threw down the basket, took out the bow in her hands and ran inside, shouting: "Pengju, Pengju..."
In the innermost prison, Yue Pengju suddenly stood up from his stupor. The voice came from the sky and came straight to his ears from the ocean. He rushed to the door as a group of armored guards approached. It was Moqi Wai, as well as Qin Gui who had walked out from the shadows!
Even his wife would be killed by them! It was fine to kill him, but not his wife!
Angry, angry thousands of lions will jump out from their chests and their minds, shaking their mane, and Tathagata will do the lion's roar as well!
He lifted the shackles on his hands and smashed them wildly against the bars of the cell.
Yue Pengju was tortured and kept quiet, he did not resist at all. Everyone was shocked. So he actually still had this kind of innate divine strength.
Qin Gui realised and shouted, "Quick, stop him!"
With a crash, the metal lock fell to the ground and he roared out, "Sister Shi Qi …"
A few armored guards closed in on Hua Rong, and one of them raised his blade and slashed towards her left leg. Hua Rong dodged, trying her best to avoid it. In front of him was an ice-cold stone wall, and she had already reached the end of the prison cell without any way out.
The pursuers, the black mass of pursuers, were all being chased by Qin Gui's fiendish grin, Moqi Wai's fiendish grin, and the fiendish grin of Zhao Deji, who was hiding behind them … 's forehead dripped with a drop of sweat.
"Sister Shi Qi …"
flew out and blocked her in front of her. He used his shackled hands to tightly "hug" her — — Sister Shi Qi, Sister Shi Qi!
Hua Rong stuck close to him, the two of them stood with their backs facing each other, tears trickling down her face. Only now did she know where the courage came from. She could only watch when Wan Wan died and watch when Tianwei died. If Pengju was going to die, she could only watch. When she died — there was no one left to watch.
Peng Ju wanted to help Zhao Deji gain the trust of his subordinates, but, who would help Zhao Deji?
"Penga, I'll accompany you today!"
Tears streamed down's eyes as he laughed heartily, "Alright, I, Yue Pengju, a farmer, am willing to go to war and expel the Golden Man, even though I have been framed. However, with Big Sister Shi Qi not leaving us in this life, it will not be in vain. "
The frontmost elite jailer soldier stopped in his tracks. He was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that Yue Pengju could actually smash the steel lock on him.
Just as they were stunned, Hua Rong suddenly took off the Big Kew on her body. With a wave of his hand, everyone's eyes blurred for a moment, then Hua Rong extended his hand, and like a small leopard in a desperate situation, threw out a stink bomb.
With a loud boom, everyone retreated with all their might.
The entire Jail Temple Prison was boiling, the roof seemed to have been torn down, all sorts of screams were heard, Qin Gui took the lead and ran out. Moqi Wai was also shocked. Killing Yue Pengju was a big deal, but his own life was more important. He covered his ears and ran away.
When the two of them ran, the frontmost soldier fell into a pool of blood, while the rest retreated. In the smoke, they could not see anyone around them, so Yue Pengju took advantage of the chaos to pull his wife away.
The crowd squeezed each other, making it impossible to tell who was who amidst the chaos. Hua Rong ran for a while, before turning around and throwing down another tree. With a crackling sound, the walkway was set ablaze, the jailer was in a state of panic, and the prisoners were crying and screaming non-stop.
In the small hall of the Jail Temple Prison, a plainclothes man together with two attendants wearing green hats quietly arrived. The moment Zhao Deji sat down, he heard a loud "thump" sound. He jumped in fright, and subconsciously shouted: "Golden Army is here …"
All the officials looked at each other in dismay, their expressions changing greatly. Right at this moment, Qin Gui ran out angrily and shouted out, "Quick, quick, transfer troops! Yue Pengju has escaped!"
Before he could finish, he saw Zhao Deji's fierce gaze and his legs softened as he knelt down. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my folly. "Bad work …"
Zhao Deji kicked him right on the head, and while trembling in fear, he turned to the leader of the guards, Xu Caizhi, "Hurry, gather the Yuelin Army s and intercept Yue Pengju … "Just kill them on the spot …"
At this time, Moqi Wai also stumbled over. Seeing the Son of Heaven here, he tremblingly kneeled down, "Yes … Yue Pengju's wife in prison … "
"It's Hua Rong? Are there any other accomplices? "
"Not yet."
Zhao Deji immediately felt at ease and berated angrily: "A mere woman scared you to such an extent? "A bunch of useless bums."
"She used some kind of firearm, it's so powerful …"
Zhao Deji suddenly thought of the firearms of the King Qin that he had seen at sea a long time ago. He was so shocked that he could not speak aloud to himself, but after ascending the throne for many years and gotten used to the weather, he immediately maintained his dignity and shouted angrily, "Fierce Tigers that come out will definitely harm people …"
He was even more afraid than Zhao Deji. If Yue Pengju escaped, he would face the greatest threat, so after he calmed down, he immediately asked subconsciously: "How do I deal with Hua Rong?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Deji could no longer be bothered with the matter of him having a son, and shouted angrily: "Let's capture him together. We are magnanimous, and guilty of not being able to serve our families, but Yue Pengju had openly betrayed us and immediately killed him. Hua Rong will consider things as she sees fit. If she resists till the end, she can still kill him on the spot … "
Qin Gui was secretly happy, he wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and immediately said: "Your majesty is benevolent, your majesty is wise!"
Yue Pengju and his wife had already rushed to the entrance of Jail Temple Prison, outside, Yuelin Army s rushed over like a tide. Yue Pengju was a high-ranking official, and according to Qin Gui's arrangements, the execution was not public, it was only a secret execution in the prison. But when Hua Rong barged in, he immediately messed up his plans, luckily he was already prepared, especially so for Zhao Deji. With a single order, the long awaited Yuelin Army went all out.
Yue Pengju watched as more and more elite troops surged forward. At this moment, he had completely calmed down, and the shackles on his hands had become his only weapon. Fortunately, when he was tortured, in order to heal his injuries, he had temporarily released the shackles on his feet and was able to walk. In his busy state, Hua Rong took out a hard dagger from his bosom and used all his strength to cut the cuffs on him. She watched as the enemies rushed towards his. He was in a hurry and did not know where to go. He only had one thought in his mind, which was to risk her life. Yue Pengju saw the direction, and shouted loudly: "Sister Shi Qi, rush towards the north!"
Without hesitation, Hua Rong turned around and threw another Fire Tribulations, causing another wave of chaos.
North was the Jail Temple Prison's small hall, the resting area for senior officials. After passing through here, they would go to the north gate. As long as they could leave, the two of them would have a chance at survival.
Hua Rong carried this thought, all the blood in her heart boiling as she stuck close to her husband, and the two of them seemed to have become one person, moving in unison. They only had one thought: At this point, I have to run away.
From afar, Moqi Wai's screams could be heard: "Someone is escaping over here …"
Countless Yuelin Army held onto torches, lighting up the area. Zhao Deji anxiously stood at the door, only to see two people stumbling out from the darkness. Despite being separated by such a long distance, he could only see two blurry figures, he immediately recognized them as Yue Pengju and his wife.
Especially Yue Pengju! Yue Pengju's body was tall and robust, making others remember him clearly.
Moqi Wai said in a low voice, shocked, "Oh my god, Yue Pengju, this traitor, has been tortured for such a long time, yet he is still so brave and courageous …"
Zhao Deji's heart trembled. Looking at Yue Pengju's proud figure, he suddenly realized why he hated Yue Pengju so much; It was also because of his damnable "valor", a type of robust, majestic, and valiant that completely belonged to men. These were all things he lacked. He had the world, wealth, and power, yet he had lost the most essential thing about a man.
