In the distance, he saw Hua Rong waiting at the door, looking around.
Hua Rong said gently: "Tonight, Ninth Prince is hosting a banquet, send someone to invite us early. Since you're back, let's go. "
After Yue Pengju heard these words, he did not say anything. He had already lost all interest in the Ninth Prince's banquet, and silently followed his sister. He saw that his sister had already changed into a new set of clothes. She was dressed in an ordinary man's suit, with a green shirt underneath. The ordinary clothes made her look especially beautiful, giving off a feminine air and charm. When she smiled, her lips were so soft; when she looked at him, her eyes were so warm and warm that it almost made one want to look at her.
Her heart was thumping, Hua Rong laughed and pulled him back: "Let's go, don't make Ninth Prince wait too long."
He followed her as if he were going to a grand feast.
The banquet would be held not in the main camp but in the side hall of the Ninth Prince. Clearly, it had undergone some set-up and appeared to be very elegant. The guest only had the brother and sister. Xu Caizhi stood at the side with a respectful and friendly attitude. After meeting Yue Pengju today, he came back to report to Ninth Prince, saying that Yue Pengju had no objections, and wanted Big Sis to decide for herself. Ninth Prince was very happy. Originally, he did not want to seek Yue Pengju's opinion and only wanted to hear his thoughts. Thus, he was satisfied with his answer.
Ninth Prince sat down first, with brother and sister accompanying him on both sides. Having been in the army camp for so long, it was the first time Hua Rong had eaten with Ninth Prince.
Ninth Prince laughed: "We have known each other for many years, but we have never gathered together like this. Today, we finally have this opportunity.
"Thank you, Prince."
"There's no need to be so polite. This King treats you two and your brother as friends and drinks to my heart's content."
Her brother and sister were all dressed in plain clothes, so they should have been happy to receive such a welcome from the prince. However, both of them felt rather uncomfortable. The Ninth Prince persuaded them to drink. The three of them drank their wine and Hua Rong stopped drinking after that. Then, the Ninth Prince laid some food out for them, making Hua Rong even more at a loss of what to do.
"Hua Rong is not proficient in sound, so I dare not make a fool of myself."
Ninth Prince smiled and nodded, he then played a song first, but when he heard the song, it was like flowing water in the mountains, it was extremely beautiful. Hua Rong thought, Ninth Prince was indeed one of the best, among all the princes, not only were his calligraphy and zither skills extremely good, his martial arts was also outstanding, he was the son of the Royal Family.
"The solo is rather dull. May I trouble Miss to play a song? Little Wang is also an audience member."
Hua Rong was helpless, although she had to learn music from her father when she was young, she did not focus on the music and could only play one song, Ninth Prince was a music expert, although he could hear that the zither was not of the first class, but the person playing the zither was truly sincere, and was extremely moving. The more he thought about her, the more beautiful she looked, the more he could not help but join in the melody, intoxicated.
At the end of the song, he let out a long sigh. "If there were no more wars, my sleeves would be fragrant, and I would be playing the zither with my bare hands. How wonderful would that be?"
Yue Pengju unintentionally looked over, and saw him looking at his sister with a passionate look. Even though he had a long military career and didn't understand much about love affairs, the Ninth Prince's gaze was simply too passionate.
When he looked at Hua Rong again, Hua Rong didn't even look at him, he only raised his hand to his forehead and bowed respectfully: "Thank you Ninth Prince for the food. It's getting late, Hua Rong will take her leave."
"Thank you, Prince."
He sent the Sisters and Sisters out of the door all the way. Seeing his departing back, although he was wearing green, there was still a sense of grace in his graceful figure. Seeing the two of them leaving, Xu Caizhi walked forward and said: "My prince, Yue Pengju is her only kin, today at least we have informed his of the engagement. I might as well take advantage of his presence and hand over the betrothal gift as soon as possible.
"Yes, Your Highness is wise."
Yue Pengju sent Hua Rong back first. Hua Rong poured a cup of tea for him. Seeing him blushing red, Hua Rong became a little curious.
Only then did he muster up all his courage. "Today, when I saw Xu Caizhi, he said that Ninth Prince wanted to accept big sister as his lateral consort …"
Hua Rong's face was also flushed red, she was stuttering, and was unable to speak, it turned out that Ninth Prince's banquet tonight was a disguised marriage, after informing her family members, it was' decided '?
"Elder sister, will you marry to the Ninth Prince?"
"No, I don't want it at all. I won't marry him. "
Yue Pengju rubbed his head and suddenly laughed. He felt so carefree and joyful, as if he had heard of a joyous event. He could not help but almost jump.
Seeing him so happy, Hua Rong felt it was weird. Ever since he had grown up, she had been very young and mature. She looked dignified and dignified. She was not smiling, and she had completely turned into a steady and mature young man. How could there be such an anomaly at this moment?
"Pengju, what's wrong?"
His joyous laughter turned into a smile as he looked at Hua Rong calmly. "Elder sister, since you're not willing, you should leave the Xiangzhou."
Hua Rong sighed: "Where can I go?"
"Follow me."
She was stunned. This was the first time he heard a man say "Come with me!" with such a firm and forceful tone.
"Sister, let's leave this place first. I will find a place for you to stay. I definitely won't let you continue to be like this."
She laughed happily, as if there was a ray of bright sunlight shining into her heart. She was bathed in the fragrance of the spring day, and her future was bright.
Yue Pengju looked at her nervously. He didn't know why she was so happy, nor did he know what decision she had in his heart. It was as if he had said something he shouldn't have as his hands were drenched in sweat.
"Elder sister …"
"Ok, Pengju, I'll go with you. Only when brother and sister are together can we feel at home. I can't stay in the Xiangzhou any longer. I've been doing nothing here all day and I can't help the Ninth Prince with anything, not to mention repaying him, this disciple has only increased his worries. I had been thinking that it might be possible to do something in a different environment. Furthermore, Big Brother Lu also invited me to his hometown and gave me his address.
Yue Pengju was overjoyed, rubbed his hands together: "This is really great. In the past two days, I have been out searching for the location of the King Qin, but I couldn't get any definite information about him. I was afraid I'd leave, but he's after you. "Right now, I'm not afraid that he will come looking for you …"
She felt sad in her heart. She thought he was out looking for friends or something like that, but he was actually going to look for King Qin. Before he left, he wanted to help her get rid of all the troubles.
This was the first time he experienced a man's concern for him. It was different from Lu Da's concern, more detailed and interlinked with each other.
She laughed and flipped the oil lamp a little brighter: "Pengju, I'll say my goodbyes to Ninth Prince tomorrow and go with you."
"Elder sister, I'll speak up for you."
"Okay, let's go together."
Because she had made her decision, tonight, Hua Rong slept exceptionally well. In her daze, she felt that she had arrived at a vast grassland filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Ever since her family had undergone such a huge change, she had never had such a relaxed night. It was as if she now had the strongest support in her future.
The moon was as cold as water, and a group of patrolling soldiers were changing shifts.
Three people walked in. One of them was very tall, wearing armor and holding a long spear.
Seeing that he was a stranger, the officer in charge of the rotation became suspicious. "Who are you?"
One of his companions quickly answered for him, "He's new."
Recently, many new brave soldiers came to the camp to recruit soldiers. The officer saw that the two soldiers who were familiar with him were familiar with him, so he left with a relieved heart.
Once he left, the King Qin spat. He picked up his pike and looked around: Hua Rong, which courtyard is she in?
Initially, King Qin had bribed a guard under the account with a large sum of money to inquire about the situation. However, Li Xing had good offices, and the information he received was that the Ninth Prince would invite Yue Pengju and Hua Rong out for a banquet tonight, and no matter what, they would not be able to swindle Hua Rong out. Furthermore, he was worried that the Ninth Prince might investigate further, so he tried to shirk his responsibility, telling the King Qin to wait until the best time.
The reason that they were not allowed to use them was to accumulate a large amount of wealth and accumulate it into their national treasury. This was because they hoped that one day, all of their wealth would be gone and they would be able to recruit warriors to take over a large piece of land in the north, especially the Swallow Cloud Sixteen Region. However, they did not expect the Liaoning to rise and become even more powerful. It was too late for the imperial government to recruit troops, they could only recruit rogue soldiers, hoodlums, sending criminals and so on all the way into the army.
As such, the King Qin very easily snuck in. Originally, no one would notice the hundreds of thousands of recruits in the military camp, but his stature was especially tall and sturdy, as if he had ten thousand pounds of strength, so he did not dare appear during the day, attracting the attention of others.
He took the long spear and looked around. As he walked towards a remote area, a person in the same group shouted, "You're not allowed to go there. That is a forbidden area."
"What forbidden area?"
"That is the prince's tent."
He wanted nothing more than to immediately drag out that Prince Lao Shi, but he forced himself to keep his temper and cursed, "Which house does that girl live in?"
The first light of dawn had already appeared in the eastern sky. In another incense stick of time, it would be time for the shift to begin, and after dawn, King Qin would not be able to stay. He was extremely anxious in his heart. As soon as he entered the treasure mountain, he returned empty-handed. At the thought of this, blood would spurt out.
From far away, he heard a 'sou' sound. He said: "Not good, something happened."
It was still the same person who reprimanded him, saying, "It's too strange, these are people from the morning training."
