C33 King Qinguang

With the victory of the first battle, these stragglers' confidence increased exponentially. They packed up their spoils of war and went to bed, not mentioning anything else.

When Yue Yang returned from his patrol, he saw Lu Da sitting beside a bonfire, sleeping and snoring loudly. Not far away, Flower Flower was leaning on a tree, his body slanted to the side as he pretended to sleep.

He walked over and sat down beside her. He took off his clothes and covered her with them. The moment his hand left her body, Lonesome Flower woke up. He smiled and said, "You should rest as well."

He nodded, "Sister, the journey has been arduous, how can you bear it?"

"I've suffered more. What is this compared to me? Besides, we have won a great victory today. "Pengju, I really like this lifestyle. I'll follow you in the future and see how many gold bandits you can kill …"

Yue Peng looked at her and shifted his gaze away. In his heart, he felt an extremely strange and sweet feeling, as if this thorny road was filled with flowers from then on.

Huaxue remembered the encounter with Li Xing, and said: "Do you still remember the pirate Li Xing? "He actually went to find a breeding base …"

Seeing the worry on her face, he knew that she was afraid of the days when the island was being abused. He could not help but hold her hand. "Sister, don't be afraid. I will never let anyone bully you again."

The hands he was holding were soft, just like what he remembered from his childhood. Now, there was an unfamiliar heartbeat. He subconsciously let go of her hand. This reunion, not only had Yue Pengju grown into a man with outstanding martial arts skills, his way of fighting and how to deal with situations were not surprising. Furthermore, he had a whole new level of respect for him.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. In the crackling sound of the firewood, the flower bud was slowly leaning against the tree, looking at the stars in the sky. He didn't know what it would be like when he went to seek refuge with the Ninth Prince. The entire country was filled with civil and military officials, each and every one of them evil. Would a single Ninth Prince be able to turn the tide just by himself?

Suddenly, after so many years of running, not to mention taking revenge for his parents, they had even run in the opposite direction, forgetting the way home. She gave a low sigh. "To the clouds, the rumble of the cars is like water. White grass, yellow sand, moonlight … … solo village three or three families. Flying Hong also passed, and Wan Kou was sad all day and all night. As they approached the Swallow Mountain, it was difficult to return to the village.

Yue Pengju, who was sitting behind her, heard her melancholy and despair. He whispered, "Elder sister, in the future, there will always be me."

She laughed, feeling so powerful that a wave of weariness came over her, and she slowly leaned against the tree, closed her eyes, and fell asleep, feeling safer than she had in the farm.

It was unknown when she had leaned her head against Yue Yang's shoulder from the tree. She had not woken up, but in her dream, she felt that it was very comfortable to rest on his pillow.

It was early winter by the time they arrived at the Ninth Prince's mansion.

After the announcement, the guard came out to reply that the Ninth Prince was investigating the military situation and had asked everyone to wait.

This was the Xiangzhou camp. They were not allowed to move about carelessly.

Before the two of them could speak, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps. The one leading them was the Ninth Prince. The three of them immediately saluted. The Ninth Prince chuckled, "Exemption from formalities. To see an old friend today, I'm very happy …" He patted Yue Pengju's shoulder comfortingly. "This King has heard that you have repeatedly achieved meritorious service in battle and have defeated the gold bandits with fewer victories. This time, I'll raise you to the position of Yinyi Lang …"

"Thank you, Prince."

"Lu Da, you should also stay under Little Wang's tent. This King really needs a fierce general like you."

"I thank the prince for his kindness, but I'm used to living at home, and I also have a bit of worldly affairs to attend to. Let's talk about it in the future."

The Ninth Prince had grown up in the palace and had seen countless things. Now, he felt that all the girls he had ever seen in his life added together all added up didn't add up to what he had expected from the woman in front of him.

He did not know what the Ninth Prince planned to do, but seeing him looking at his, he became anxious. He bowed and said, "I have learnt a bit about riding and shooting in the past few years, and I have nowhere to go in this chaotic world. I beg to be a soldier under your command, and ask for your permission …"

The Ninth Prince then recovered his wits and laughed, "When Xu Jianguo went to the farm early in the morning, he reported to me that the Lady had mastered the great archery skill of Hundred Feet Piercing Through the Poplar. There was an ancient woman, Hua Mulan, and the Yang Clan's female general are also in the current dynasty. Now is the time to hire someone. This King naturally wishes for it …"

Hua Xuan was overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Highness."

The Ninth Prince called out to Xu Cai, "Order me immediately to arrange a separate room for Miss Hua."

"Yes."

Lonesome Flower was very grateful to see that he had not only agreed to Chu Yu's request, but had also thought it through carefully. Yue Peng was initially worried that her elder sister was a woman after all, and that it would be inconvenient for her to mingle with other men in the military camp. Now that he had arranged for her a separate room, he was even happier than she was. The two siblings looked at each other. Lu Da also chuckled and said, "Sister, I am relieved now. "Tomorrow, the Wu family will leave the Xiang Province early in the morning. I won't say my goodbyes to you then …"

Although he was reluctant to part with her, he knew that she had a habit of doing so, so he didn't say anything. He just nodded and the three of them went to sleep.

Hua Xue's room was the one ear room of the Commander Camp. Although it was simple and crude, it was still very clean. Pushing the window open, he could see rows of green poplar trees outside, standing straight and straight like javelins piercing towards the sky.

She quickly let the Ninth Prince into the house and asked, "Ninth Prince, is there something you need?"

The guard put the box on the table and opened it. The Ninth Prince looked around the room and said with a smile, "The house is too simple and crude. This King knows that you often practice calligraphy, so I sent you a set of brush and ink … "

In this chaotic world of the military, Huaxue naturally did not bring any ink, nor did he carry any parcels. However, seeing how thoughtful the Ninth Prince was, he hurriedly thanked him. The ninth prince didn't stay for long and quickly left.

The next day, Lonesome Flower woke up early as usual and practiced Professor Lu Da's fist technique for a while before he heard the sky-shaking drills coming from the distant drill grounds. She quietly walked along the row of trees and stopped at a hidden spot. She saw that the Ninth Prince was inspecting the place and was correcting the position of the soldier with a spear from time to time.

The army of the current dynasty, because they had neglected to train, was immediately defeated. However, seeing this army, they had a great time of it. Hua Li was very happy. He thought to himself that he and his brother had not chosen the wrong master.

In the evening.

A huge battleship was heading for the island. It was almost at the shore, and its speed had slowed down a long time ago.

As far as the eye could see, the surface of the sea was very calm. The sky was still as blue as ever, impenetrable. As they got closer, the waves hit the rocks, producing a muffled sound.

There were thousands of small ships lined up on the shore, including the ancient five-tooth warship. However, it was not a big deal, because there were at least seven or eight larger warships parked here, and the largest ship was slowly approaching. The ship was well-equipped with three decks, and not only were there a series of cover crossbows, but also a firearm that the pirates had brought with them.

As soon as the boat docked, King Qin jumped off the boat. Behind him, several hundred fully equipped pirates followed suit, lining up in neat formation. King Qin walked majestically at the front, his eyes shooting cold stars, his brows as thick as paint. He was like a heavenly demon star. He was like a great god in the mortal world, a true pirate king king in this ocean.

Over the years, he had gradually subdued more than a dozen pirate clans from the islands along the coast. The number of his subordinates had increased from less than a hundred to less than five thousand people, and they were now more than a thousand ships. He had repeatedly declared that the number of warships, firearms, and troops he possessed had long surpassed all the military forces of the imperial court.

Although King Qin controlled seven or eight islands along the coast, his main activity was still in his lair. The buildings on the island had also been improved on a large scale. From a simple shack to a few hundred rooms, it gave off the vistas of a foreign kingdom.

The most luxurious place was King Qin's "Imperial Palace." Based on the original foundation, it was strengthened and renovated, becoming golden and dazzling, with some style. The meeting hall on the island was also set up here.

But no matter how imposing they were, the pirates spent most of their lives away from this place, or running for their lives.

As soon as he returned to the meeting hall, he received a report from the small pirates on duty, saying that Li Xing had returned from the south and was reporting something important.

King Qin immediately said: "His name is Li Xing."

Li Xing, who had been waiting for a long time, came running in. He greeted them first and then said with a joyous expression on his face, "Great King, there's good news …"

King Qin's expression did not change. It had been six years, and he had heard many reports about 'good news' coming back from the search. However, the 'good news' was later proven to be useless.

After so many years of no success, he was on the verge of giving up.

He casually asked: "Li Xing, what's the good news?"

"This one was out this time. When I passed by the village, I saw a girl. She was so beautiful …"

Li Xing knew Lonesome Flower very well. He had always been cautious when doing things, and he was different from the other pretentious pirates. King Qin almost jumped up, "Is that true?"

"Seriously. I asked the dealer, who said it was a young lady. When I was walking forward again, I heard people talking about a young military officer called Yue Pengju leading a group of soldiers. He defeated a lot of the weaker soldiers and used some strange tactics to eliminate Tao Jun and the others, who had been running amok for quite some time … "

"Yue Pengju? That little bastard? "

"Exactly. When I received the news, I immediately returned to the village, only to see the woman leaving in a hurry, wearing a helmet, unwilling to reveal her true appearance. "I want to see what's going on, but what's shameful is that the ones protecting her are the ones who left, Guan Xiluda. The youngsters weren't his opponent, so he brandished his staff and injured most of them. They didn't dare to chase after him …"
