The Third Uncle Yang calmly retorted, "This is not our fault, it's your own fear! Before a man marries, he is afraid of a lion's roar. "
"I'm not afraid!"
"Not afraid of the inside?" If you don't fear the inside, why don't you dare marry Li Tinglan? What's the point of having another wife? "
"Third Uncle, you don't have to provoke me. I know very well whether or not I'm afraid of you." Moreover, the little girl is not like a lion. She is gentle and virtuous, rarely seen in this world … " He couldn't help but show off proudly. "Third Uncle, these days, the little girl has been so nice to me. "Look, she's the one who sewed my shirt and wore my scarf for me. She combs my hair every morning. Hahaha, I have to hurry back. It's so comfortable having her comb my hair …"
Third Uncle Yang secretly shook his head. Seeing this, his hands unconsciously broke out into a cold sweat. The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. He was making a huge gamble. Would this kid obediently walk towards the bright road that he had designed for him?
"Third Uncle, we must immediately reveal our cards to Li Tinglan. I'll go myself …"
Third Uncle Yang quickly stopped him: "King, I will go. "I'll take care of it for you. You can't speak, so don't let both sides suffer …"
"Then I'll have to trouble Third Uncle."
Third Uncle Yang calculated the time and did not say anything else. He only urged King Qin to participate in the feast.
That night, under the orders of the Third Uncle Yang, the Great small fry took turns toasting the King Qin, causing him to drink to her heart's content. After that, as she drank to the bottom of her stomach in a few big jars, the Third Uncle Yang ordered him to rest in the "Imperial Palace". By the time he woke up from her drunken state, it would be tomorrow evening, and by that time, Hua Rong would already be long gone.
After Li Tinglan came, she lived right next to the "Imperial Palace" and was just a wall away from the King Qin. That night, she had witnessed the King Qin drinking merrily, but she did not exchange pleasantries with her. She had been proud and beautiful since he was young, and he was also a girl with a silver spoon in his mouth. Although his country had been ruined, he still lived in luxury, and her father had protected her well. Everywhere he went, because of her beauty, he was sought after. This time's marriage was originally meant to comply with his father's wishes, going against his wishes and marrying an old man. Originally, she thought that for this husband and wife, the King Qin would be obedient. However, she did not expect that this rough man would not even look him in the eye. She appeared sulkily for only a moment before returning to his boudoir, maintaining his noble status.
Xiao Daniang drank a few more cups, reminiscing about the young miss, as she hurried back. Li Tinglan leaned on the side of the bed, looking gloomy.
"Miss, what's the matter?"
Li Tinglan was worried. "Do you think the King really has a wife and concubine outside?"
"Third Uncle Yang has guaranteed that he doesn't have one, so he definitely isn't. If there is, it's impossible for him to not bring his wife and children back for the new year. "
"But from what I see, he seems to be …"
Seeing her hesitant words, Xiao Daniang knew what she was thinking. She was furious, too, and felt that the King Qin was too cold towards her. Could it be that there was someone younger and prettier than his young mistress?
"If it wasn't for Father who entrusted me with this task, I would have suffered …" Li Tinglan leaned on the bed and cried. She was a young girl, after all, and in the face of such a situation, she had no idea what to do. The person she was going to marry was a half-old man, and yet, this half-old man didn't even take her to heart.
"Miss, don't be in such a hurry. The King is too boorish. He will be fine once we get married."
Li Tinglan no longer spoke. Since things had come to this point, what choice did she have? She could only obey her father's orders, and could not make the slightest decision on her own.
When King Qin woke up, it was already the evening of the second day.
He rubbed his forehead. After a night of drinking, he felt extremely uncomfortable and shouted, "Girl …" "Little girl …" The usual gentle answer didn't come out. A Attendant brought out a face wash and respectfully served him: "Great King, face wash is ready …"
King Qin jumped up and casually washed his face. He did not care about his messy hair, he just rubbed it and walked out. Two days in a hurry, eager to leave, to get back to the cruiser. He went straight to Third Uncle Yang's residence. On the island, in the dense forest, Li Tinglan and his son were picking flowers under the setting sun. Li Tinglan turned his head around and saw him. He looked like a steel tower, and his hair was no longer as neat as yesterday. His hair was like steel wire and was in a mess, making him look like a huge beast. She was afraid and did not dare to look. He quickly looked away and lowered her head to pick the flowers, pretending to ignore him.
King Qin was surprised, he wondered why Third Uncle Yang had not sent all these girls away yet. He walked in big strides to Third Uncle Yang's residence. He saw that Third Uncle Yang had his eyes closed, leisurely sitting on a chair, with his eyes closed, enjoying the spring sunset.
"Third Uncle, why hasn't Li Tinglan left yet?"
Third Uncle Yang was alarmed by the loud voice and said calmly: "I have already agreed that they are going to leave soon. The King need not worry. "
King Qin was overjoyed, "If that's so, I can bring the little girl to the island." She could not wait, and immediately turned around. Third Uncle Yang slowly spoke, "There are important matters to attend tonight, I have already informed all of you to wait for your orders."
King Qin stopped in his tracks, "Fuck, it's fine, I'll go get them tomorrow."
Third Uncle Yang's gaze fell on his steel-like hair. In just a single night, his image had greatly changed. It seemed like the woman's devilish hands were the key to a man's transformation. King Qin, after leaving Hua Rong, had once again turned into a beast. However, other women could make such a change, right? Li Tinglan can comb her hair, right?
Twenty or so leaders were seated in the huge conference hall, all of them in charge of the various missions on the island. Under the arrangements of Ma Su and the Third Uncle Yang, they had gradually gotten used to orderly reporting. Ma Su took notes on the important matters at the side and sorted them out, so that he could tell them to the King Qin for reference in the future. The King Qin listened for a while and arranged a few big matters for the year. Everyone started to put forward a lot of ideas, mainly about conflicts with the forces in the other seas and overseas trade. The King Qin made their decisions one by one. Ma Su would record down a few things that he was unable to resolve temporarily and put them aside.
The pirates held their own discussion. Naturally, there were no rules, and everyone could speak freely whenever they wanted. They discussed amongst themselves until the early hours of the morning before they all went back to rest.
King Qin also went back to lie down. Seeing that it was already dawn, he could not hold it in any longer and hurriedly got up, bringing his two minions with him as he rushed to the cruiser.
From a distance, he could only hear wailing and crying. He rushed up to see the Little Tiger standing on the deck and wailing. His eyes were red and swollen from crying.
King Qin rushed forward to hug him, his heart sinking, "Stinky kid, where is mother?"
Little Tiger hugged his neck as if she had seen her greatest savior, and said with teary eyes: "Abba, mother is gone, mother is gone, I will never see mother again …"
King Qin shouted, "Men, where is the Madam?"
Liu Zhiyong hurriedly rushed up. Along the way, he was in charge of the safety of Hua Rong and her mother. Then, the two wet nurses and the servant that was taking care of the Little Tiger's head also came up, causing everyone to drop their hands in fear.
Liu Zhiyong took out a letter and handed it over, "Great King, this is something that the wife left for you."
King Qin anxiously opened the letter and only a few words were written on it: "Qin Shangcheng, I'm leaving. Don't look for me, don't worry about me. I left only because I couldn't forget Pengju. However, I'm not going to take revenge for him. I just want to find a place with no one else to pay tribute to him and calm my emotions. So don't worry about my safety. I hope that you can get married as soon as possible. With your own children, you can also expand your own power. That way, you won't be controlled by others. I entrust the tiger's head to you. I hope that you, father and son, will take care of yourselves. "Don't ever come looking for me again. I will come back to visit you. I will come back myself."
King Qin was so angry that his hands were trembling as he held the letter in his hands. The little girl left, she actually ran away just like she did ten years ago. His mind was in a whirl. Why? Why did Hua Rong want to escape?
He was furious, "Quickly chase him, chase him … You're pigs, what are you waiting for? "
"Madam has already been gone for three days and two nights. She can't catch up."
"Even if you can't catch up, you have to. What the hell are you doing? The moment he realized that the person he was looking for was gone, why didn't he go after him immediately? Why are you standing here like a wooden stake? " Liu Zhiyong wanted to say something, but King Qin struck him with his fist, "Rice bucket, quickly go and chase him. No matter what, find that person for me …"
The head of the Little Tiger had never seen Abba so angry before. His eyes were blood-red, as if he was about to eat someone.
King Qin heavily placed him on the ground, then grabbed him up and raised him above his head. "Little bastard, stop bawling.
This was the first time Little Tiger's head was scolded so viciously. It was even more scared, its body swaying in the air: "I don't want you, bad person, I want my mother, my mother …"
King Qin immediately put him on her chest and hugged him. Seeing his face red from crying, she gasped and her heart softened. She consoled him in a low voice, "Foolish brat, don't cry anymore. "Your father is still here, your mother will be back soon …"
The Little Tiger stopped crying, innocently hugged his neck, reached out to tug at his messy hair, "When will mother be back? Where was my mother? Why did Mom want to go? Are you saying you don't want the tiger's head? "
King Qin could not answer any of them. He could only hug her son and look at the distant sea as he cursed loudly, "Little girl, that damnable girl, why did she abandon her husband and escape? "What did I do to offend you?"
"Little girl cares so much about Yue Pengju, even if he is already dead. Where's your father? [I am nothing at all!] And your son … " The more he thought about it, the more furious he became. "Stinky kid, your mother doesn't want you anymore.
Little Tiger started crying again: "No, how can mother not want me?"
"She's a selfish woman. She only loves Yue Pengju, not you, and not me … Little girl... " His voice choked and he could not continue.
