C25 The Great War failed miserably

He turned and left, and this night, he never returned.

The next morning, when Hua Rong woke up, other than the few pirates on duty, there was no one else on the island. Even the beautiful prostitutes had all disappeared.

In the early hours of the morning, it was drizzling and the sea was gray.

The big ship, Lingji, docked in the harbor was still in silence.

On the surface, this ship was for the Son of Heaven to transport a "special stone" excavated from the southeast region. In reality, it was the personal belongings of the First Elder, Cai Jing. Cai Jing and his son were powerful and influential, but they were rich, but he was much more sensitive than the Feng Liu Emperor. He had caught wind of the news a long time ago, and his eyes and ears were filled with information about the Jinguo. The south of the Golden Army was soon to come. The flourishing of the dynasty was about to wake up.

As a famous scholar, Cai Jing had read a lot of history books and at the highest point, he knew what would happen to the powerful officials of the empire.

He didn't mind the fact that the beautiful lady who paid tribute to him last time had been robbed. This time around, he had sent a large number of elite soldiers to protect his wealth, ensuring his safe arrival.

He had been on high alert for several nights now, but even after passing by several docks, he still could not find any trace of the pirates. Today, it was dawn and the ship was about to set sail again.

Just as the large ship started sailing, dozens of water wheel powered boats tied to high poles whizzed over. Behind the small warship, was a five-tooth warship.

The majority of the soldiers on the ship were Cai Jing's trusted aides and trusted aides. They were considered strong, but their fighting capabilities were as weak as the national power of their empire, so when they saw the large number of pirates charging towards them in an unheard-of formation, they panicked and before they could even form an effective resistance, they had already been struck by the battering ram. The pirates holding their huge blades flew onto the ship, and in an instant, they heard the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves …

King Qin stood on the deck of the ship and watched as the boxes of valuables were brought out. Just as he was feeling happy, he suddenly saw a five-colored sailboat speedily sailing over, that kind of decoration was not like the embroidered ships of the imperial court. He was very experienced, and with a glance, he could tell that it was another pirate ship.

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole, the strong enemy is coming!

The main forces of the pirates were looting the ship. Even with the order, it was too late to retreat. Just at that moment, under the protection of the shields spread out across the deck, the archer arrows from behind rained down on the pirates that were plundering the place.

"Hurry, retreat back to the five-tooth warship!"

King Qin ordered. With a grab, he caught a sharp arrow that was shooting at him. The pirates couldn't care less about the treasures as they fought to escape onto the small warship. In that instant, miserable cries rang out as people trampled on each other. It was hard to tell if they were pirates or soldiers as corpses fell straight into the sea …

The King Qin brandished the "White Deer" treasured blade in his hand, causing all the arrows shot from afar to fall to the ground. Finally, he was about to grab a small warship, but the sharp armored warriors of the other warship rushed over, armed to the teeth and brandishing their blades at close range. The King Qin saw that his side had suffered heavy casualties, and had never suffered such a defeat before. He knew that he could no longer continue fighting, and just as he was about to jump down from the boat, three big blades came cutting down from three different directions. He dodged the attack, but he was unable to dodge the sharp arrow that was flying over from his left shoulder. Almost at the same time, he was escorted by a few pirates. He jumped onto the boat, and quickly boarded the five-tooth warship …

On the ship behind them, a young man stood on the deck, watching the river of blood flowing from the other side of the ship. Behind him were three guards with sabers.

A big fellow, who had been hammered by a golden gourd, quickly returned. His name was Chu Zhongwen, and he was the leader of a group of pirates that had just been subdued by the Ninth Prince.

He faced the young man and bowed respectfully. "Ninth Prince, those pirates have already escaped. Should we chase after them?"

"Clean up the goods on this ship and dispose of them appropriately. "At the same time, keep an eye on the pirates, and chase them down. We must kill them all."

"Yes."

The Ninth Prince gazed into the distance, feeling extremely depressed in his heart. Perhaps, using the water in this sea wouldn't be enough to extinguish the intoxicating dreams of the Imperial Palace — — Except for royal father and his six great ministers — Six Thieves!

Most of the people in the world knew that the Jinguo's Steel Cavalry was about to gallop over.

Even Cai Jing had started to smuggle his belongings to a safe place. The sea was only one of them, and his larger estate was still on land.

"Ninth Prince, the pirates are fleeing in the direction of an isolated island, which is easy to defend but hard to attack …"

"What's the background of the pirates?"

"Pirate Head is nicknamed King Qin, the overlord of this region of the sea. The ones who robbed the 'Flowerstone Class' last time are also them. "This time, they were suddenly ambushed and will definitely not let this matter rest …"

One of the servants took out a map of the sea. Ninth Prince looked at it for a while before raising his head, "Our goal this time isn't these pirates, so be careful."

"Yes."

The island was as quiet as it had ever been.

Seven or eight pirates on standby were on full alert, guarding the remaining three ships. They were very relaxed with Hua Rong's guarding. Basically, they could only defend the sea entrance and not let her escape. According to King Qin's orders, while he was gone, the two pirates would not be allowed to keep a close watch on him and retreated outside.

Accompanying Hua Rong was a young Yue Pengju.

This time, the King Qin did not bring him out to sea. Instead, before he left, he came to guard Hua Rong. Hua Rong was very surprised, but being with this young man, he naturally felt happy as well.

After all, he was still a teenager. He had been hungry for two days, but once he was fed water, his energy would be restored in two or three days. Although the two had not known each other for long, they were already close siblings. Hua Rong told him her thoughts without any concealment. The two of them had been thinking all day about how to escape through that water bay.

The teenager proposed to build a simple and crude raft. However, Hua Rong thought that if the two of them were to build a raft, not only would it take a long time, it would also take them a lot of time to escape the vast ocean.

However, she did not give up at all. Even if there was a sliver of hope, it was at least a hundred times bigger than before. She did as she said and immediately went to the bay with the youth to cut wood and build a raft. Although no one was bothering him, he didn't even have the necessary materials ready after three days.

That morning, Hua Rong was about to go out and make a raft with the teenager. However, the moment she went out, he called for a pirate to run to the beach in a hurry.

Her heart tightened as she saw the youth run over from the other side. When he reached her, he whispered, "Big sister, it's bad. King Qin is back …"

The King Qin came back again?

Hua Rong was panic-stricken, every time he returned, it would be in a mess. Furthermore, he had once threatened that this time, she would immediately drive away, and before she did, she did not know how to ravage.

The teenager was quick-witted, "Big sister, I've already hid all those things in the aquatic plants. King Qin will not find them."

Hua Rong heaved a sigh of relief, "You go back first, in case that demon sees you and hits you again."

The youth anxiously asked, "Sister, what about you?"

Hua Rong did not know what to do, but she forced herself to stay calm: "I'm fine, you go back first. He won't hit me. "

King Qin had indeed not beaten her before, the young man was slightly relieved, and then he went back.

The five-tooth warship docked.

The pirates on duty immediately realized that the situation had gone awry. This time, not only did they not 'return with a full haul', but only a dozen of their brothers were left alive.

King Qin jumped down from the boat. After being hit by the arrow, his shoulder that was simply bandaged started to bleed again due to his excessive movements. However, he didn't seem to care at all. His eyes swept across the group like an eagle's, and when he saw that all the pirates on the island had lined up, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes."

When he finished, the one-eyed man immediately went up to report, "Great King, the young lady is safe and sound."

He nodded, turned around, and headed back to his own 'palace'.

She already knew that this time, not only did King Qin not manage to snatch any women or valuables, he had instead caused her to lose both her and his army. If that was the case, she really didn't dare to imagine how he would vent his unspeakable anger on her.

There was no way to hide from the coconut tree, but she instinctively tried to stay close to the back, hoping that she could hide for more than a second.

However, very quickly, his voice rang out. He practically ran over and hugged her. "Little girl …"

He was covered with blood, but her attitude was not fierce. In fact, her voice was even a bit strange, as if they had reunited after such a long time. Hua Rong was hugged so tightly that she couldn't breathe. After struggling for a bit, he slowly let go of her.

There was already a huge barrel of clear water s on the side. King Qin took off his clothes quickly and started to wash his body.

He didn't mind the water dripping on his wound. Hua Rong saw that there was a wound on his back that was so deep, if he did not bandage it properly, it would fester very quickly in this kind of weather.

After washing his body, he sat down on a chair, took out a bottle of ointment, and spread it on his shoulder. After rubbing it a few times, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Little girl, come and help me."

Hua Rong didn't dare refuse and slowly walked over. She picked up the ointment and smeared it on the Ancient Slaughterer's face, then she put down the bottle and stood to the side.

"Girl, what are you blanking out for? "Wrap this up for me too …" He pointed at her mouth, indicating that she should bandage the roll of cloth in front of him.

Hua Rong then slowly bandaged his wound.

Her soft hands followed the strip of cloth, circling his back over and over, and finally, they were wrapped again and again, and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. King Qin's face was so gloomy that it seemed as though water was about to drip out of his body: "This time, the number one hundred brothers have lost more than ten, I was lucky enough to escape …"

She tentatively asked, "Won't the enemy come after us?"

"This island is easy to defend and hard to attack. At the moment, I'm not afraid."

Hua Rong remembered his promise to drive him away, but at this moment, who would dare to ask a single word? She took a few steps back and stood as far away from the man as she could, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

A pirate brought over some food and wine, but King Qin did not even drink any wine, he only focused on eating. Seeing that Hua Rong did not move, he gave her a piece of meat and said loudly, "Girl, hurry up and eat it."
