's boots were already very old. She was in the army camp, so she knew that the imperial military expenditures were tight, so she was not willing to increase the burden on the Ninth Prince s. She never recklessly used a single coin for her personal use, and never changed any of her boots. However, when Yue Pengju returned, he only needed to take a look before noticing it.
She looked at her boots and liked it. Then she looked at the jade hairpin and liked it even more. She smiled again. "Pengju, I don't need it in the military camp."
He said in a low voice, "I look good. I don't have any hairpins, so I bought one for you. Don't you like it?"
"I like it, I really like it." She took it and placed it in her bosom before softly saying, "Big sister will wear it to show you since we won't be fighting in the future."
Yue Pengju whistled in joy.
The two siblings had dinner together. Yue Pengju saw that her Desk had a lot of paper, ink and brush. He picked up a piece of paper and asked her: "All these years in the army, are you still studying and writing?"
"Yes."
"I'll take a look at it."
He nodded his head and sat down. Hua Rong was at his side writing the ink for him.
Years of dust and clothing,
Triton.
Good water, good mountains, not yet seen,
The horse's hooves urged him to take advantage of the bright moon.
This time, Hua Rong looked at it, it was a bold and unrestrained poem, the calligraphy was vigorous, filled with masculinity, and she liked it very much, she repeatedly said: "Pengju, you're really good, you've already written better than elder sister."
Suddenly, he took out a piece of paper from her bosom. It was wrapped very well, and when she folded it open, Hua Rong saw that the yellowing paper only had the word "Yue Pengju" on it.
He wrote his name on the island in the same year. All these years, he had been collecting such a piece of paper.
"Elder sister, I have always been carrying the 'Sun Zi Ji' manual that you gave me. It has given me a lot of inspiration in several battles."
She laughed. She never expected that the casual book she gave him would be used by him so skillfully, to such an extent.
She raised her brush and focused on thinking. "Elder sister will write a few more words for you."
Yue Pengju was very happy as he stood beside her, quietly watching her writing.
There was a knock on the door, but Sisters and Sisters did not hear it. The door was half open, the Ninth Prince pushed the door and entered, but seeing that the Sisters and Sisters was focused on writing, in a very intimate state, Xu Caizhi who was beside him could not help but cough lightly.
Seeing that it was Ninth Prince, Hua Rong immediately put down her brush, and the siblings bowed together: "Greetings Ninth Prince."
The Ninth Prince smiled: "Pengju, you didn't go out with them to play?"
"This little one hasn't seen big sister for a long time, I'm a bit free right now, so I'm sparring with big sister over calligraphy."
Ninth Prince laughed out loud. "Good boy, let me see, have your calligraphy finally caught up to your sister?"
Yue Pengju respectfully handed it over and looked at it carefully. He raised his head and looked at it in shock, even more shocked than at his military prowess.
He was overjoyed and immediately said: "Xu Caizhi, take this duke's complete set of brush, ink, and paper, and bestow it upon Yue Pengju."
"Yes." This little one will deliver it later. "
Yue Pengju hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
At this time, Ninth Prince sat down, looked at this simple and crude house, and sighed: "You two siblings follow this king, Pengju has repeatedly rendered meritorious service to the war, Hua Rong is a loyal guard, but this king has never heavily rewarded you. When the war stops, this king will definitely properly arrange everything for you two …"
"Your highness saved my life, and also relied on Your highness. This little girl has always been grateful for your kindness, so how could I dare to ask Your highness for a reward?"
"Hua Rong, quickly don't be so courteous, there will be a feast for the King in Japan tomorrow. Firstly, everyone should gather together.
"Thank you, Prince."
Seeing that it was getting late, the Ninth Prince took his leave and Yue Pengju left as well.
In the past few days, Hua Rong had never been so lively before. After washing up and going to bed, she would not be able to sleep. With great difficulty, she closed her eyes, only to dream that the King Qin was holding him up like an eagle grabbing a chick, taking out a thick rope, wanting to strip him naked and tie him to a big tree. She struggled as much as she could to give herself a good kick. When she woke up, she realized that it was a nightmare.
She rolled to her feet, pulled on her clothes, and got out of bed. She went to the window and looked at the moonlight, cold and thin, as if it were an ominous season.
Right now, the King Qin had indeed come looking for him, and fear made everyone angry. She thought, there was no way to avoid this, and it was time to end things with the King Qin.
"Qin Shangcheng, if you don't kill me today, I will definitely kill you for your revenge in the future."
She remembered the oath she had made, and her heart skipped a beat. If she saw the King Qin again, if he didn't die, or if she died herself, why would she be afraid of him?
As for King Qin, he followed Yue Pengju and the others as they quietly entered the city.
He naturally would not barge into the camp, and only stayed at the tavern Li Xing and the others had booked. He had been born into the military and was well aware of the habits of the soldiers. The generals would definitely be seeking pleasure in a brothel after this victory. As a result, they secretly sent Li Xing and the others to split into a few groups, and entered various brothels and brothels to search for Yue Pengju, prepared to start from his body.
However, on the first night, although there were many officers who went to the brothel together with them, Yue Pengju was not among them. He did not give up, waiting patiently. Yue Pengju would come up eventually. The civil and military officials of the dynasty were all looking around the brothels, there was no reason for Yue Pengju to not come alone. He was not anxious at all. As long as he could catch Yue Pengju, it was only natural that he would have his whereabouts.
Two girls were serving him and drinking wine. A prostitute came in and took the gold ingot. She smiled as she poured a glass of wine and placed it next to his lips, "Uncle, please drink …"
Thinking about how he was about to meet Hua Rong, he felt his blood boiling, and was not the least bit interested in this enchanting girl. He laughed loudly: "Get out, you're too ugly …"
Although the prostitute was not a Flos Lonicerae of a brothel, she was still rather pretty. She had never heard anyone call her ugly and thought that she was drunk.
"Haha, laozi is very sober. Go to hell, laozi's wife is ten thousand times more beautiful than you."
The prostitute turned her body. "Your wife is so beautiful, yet you still want to go to a brothel?"
Women hate others who say their looks are inferior to others. She was very angry, turned around and left. As she walked, she scolded him. This man was really despicable. Calling his wife beautiful in a brothel was truly the most despicable man in the world.
King Qin didn't care about her. He drained the cup of wine in one gulp and said to himself, "Girl, I really miss you. If I catch you, I won't let you run away anymore …"
There was a knock on the door, and he shouted out "Come in". Li Xing and the others rushed in with faces full of joy, "Your Majesty, there's the latest news. "Madam is really far in the horizon …"
He was overjoyed and immediately stood up. "Where is it?"
"This lowly one bribed one of the Xiangzhou Base Camp's guards, he said that a few days ago, a woman came to Ninth Prince to seek help. This woman is Yue Pengju's elder sister, whose name is Hua Rong. It is said that her archery skills are profound, and that she is currently one of the Ninth Prince's guards … "
"Damn, how could that girl have such exquisite archery skills?" This question had not been resolved yet, but what made him even more furious was: "How can a girl become the Prince Bird's guard? Is he even worthy of it? "
"Great King, if Madam becomes the Ninth Prince's guard, then things won't be easy …"
"What do you mean it's not easy? That bird girl needs the protection of that woman? What is it? When I chop him into mincemeat, since Golden Army has already gone all the way south, his Zhao Family won't be able to protect him anymore. Li Xing, immediately get ready, not to mention the Xiangzhou Base Camp, even in the palace, I will kill my way in to take my wife away.
King Qin was not in the mood to drink anymore, he immediately returned to the inn with Li Xing and the others, and planned meticulously throughout the night.
"Li Xing, can you call out that guard?"
"Yes."
"Alright. Make the arrangements, if he can think of a way for Hua Rong to leave the camp, then we have a way to take her away. If they really did not make it, and if they continued to attack, I would not believe that the Song Jun that had been defeated so many times could become a dragon's lair or a tiger's nest. Everyone must be very careful and not alert the enemy. "
"Yes."
On the second day, Yue Pengju went for a stroll on the streets again. Since Li Xing and the others had already appeared in the Xiangzhou, there was no reason for them not to be there. But it was not easy to find these pirates, who went out at night, who enjoyed themselves at night, who hid themselves away all day.
By noon, there were still no clues. He was thirsty and just as he was about to go buy a cup of tea to drink, he saw Xu Caizhi walking over from the opposite side with a smile on his face.
Yue Pengju did not decline, and the two of them went into a restaurant.
Xu Caizhi asked for a private room and sat down. Scophthalmus placed the dishes on a table, heated up a pot of wine and waved his hands.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Caizhi finally spoke. "Pengju, there's something I need to discuss with you."
"Please speak, Master Xu."
"Your elder sister is talented and beautiful, Ninth Prince intends to accept her as her lateral consort, and she will have someone to rely on for her entire life. She will be able to live a life of wealth and glory …"
Yue Pengju's heart instantly turned over. Drinking the wine seemed to be bitter, what was Ninth Prince planning? Why did you want me to become the lateral consort? No wonder my sister has been so worried these past two days.
He put down the wine cup, his expression unchanging, "Thank you Ninth Prince and Master Xu for your love. However, my sister is not an ordinary girl. She is very stubborn and has her own will.
"Yes, Miss Hua is indeed different from the others. Beautiful women had always loved heroes, and the Prince was her savior. It wasn't excessive for her to repay him with her body. However, he was afraid that she would be troubled, afraid that he would fall into the hands of a pirate and not be compatible with his highness. He could tell her that his highness did not dislike her background at all. Even though she was a lateral consort, the main wife and the other two Empress s were both gentle people who were very friendly. The prince really likes her so much that he will pamper her a bit more. If she gives birth to a boy in the future, based on the value of her children, her wealth will be limitless … "
The more Yue Pengju listened, the more he felt uncomfortable, but he felt a fire burning in his heart, as though his chest was about to pop out. This Xu Caizhi kept saying that he wanted his elder sister to marry Ninth Prince as a concubine, would she really be willing?
He couldn't sit still anymore and found an excuse to leave. He quickly bade Xu Caizhi farewell and hurried back.
