C55 Princess Tian Xiang

His whole body was burning hot, but his heart was relaxed as he bathed in the spring wind of March. Hua Rong's face was pressed tightly against that firm chest, and she could hear his anxious voice, "Elder sister, elder sister …"

She wanted to answer, but she couldn't speak. She only smiled and put her arm around his body.

"Where are Wan Wan and the rest?"

"I'll take her with me."

"Mn, quickly go find her, you cannot let her fall into the hands of the gold soldier."

"Alright."

The two of them ran back to the short wall, only to see the grass in disarray. Where were they now? The surroundings became completely empty after Yue Pengju shouted a few times. Presumably, Wan Wan was either taken away by the army or left.

He apologized in his heart, but seeing that Hua Rong's forehead was burning hot and her mind was muddled, she did not care about anything else, and started to gallop forward. The two of them finally stopped at a house. Around them were a few villagers with their doors shut. This house had long since escaped, and there was only an empty bed in the house. The broken bed was covered in dust.

Yue Pengju brushed away the snow on Hua Rong's body. A bag of stuff was bulging in her chest, and she had put it away so well, that was a bag of rations that Hua Rong had swindled from Guo Lu. He gently placed Hua Rong on the bed and used a torn quilt to cover her, she touched her forehead, it was extremely hot, he quickly tore off a piece of cloth and stuck snow water on her forehead, she then went to the kitchen and rummaged through it, there were not even a few grains of it left, but she found two or three moldy pieces of ginger in the corner, immediately boiled it and fed it to Hua Rong. Then a broken old chair was hacked off to make a fire, and the room was finally a little warmer.

Hua Rong seemed to have returned to that barren island, as though she was dragged by the King Qin's hair to walk on the beach under the blazing sun. Like a female slave showing off to the masses, fine sand scraped across her calves, sweat and blood dripped from her body, making her heart ache.

"Don't, don't! Save me, save me …" She screamed, kicked, and almost jumped out of bed.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Save me, save me …" She gripped his hand so tightly that her nails dug into his flesh.

Yue Pengju hugged her. Seeing that her eyes were in a mess and that she quickly closed her eyes, he knew that she must have been having a nightmare. His heart was filled with regret and fear. In such a chaotic world, she really couldn't be separated from her for even a moment. Otherwise, she would instantly fall into such a terrifying situation. He sighed and gently put her back on the bed. He felt that the edge of the bed was cold, the skin was cold, and there was barely any warmth. Seeing that her hand was still tightly holding onto him, he simply carried her to the fire and sat down.

Hua Rong's head leaned into his embrace, her body occasionally hot and cold. Yue Pengju hesitated for a moment before she took off the clothes on her chest. Her face touched his warm and firm chest, as if it was very comfortable.

This was the first time in his life that he was so close to a woman, and furthermore, it was the goddess that he had been raised to since childhood. His heart was both sad and excited, his body actually trembling slightly, his palms were drenched in sweat, his entire body was hotter than Hua Rong's. He pulled up his robe and wrapped it around her like a baby. In the firelight, her face was bright red and hot.

He was both protective and worried. He really didn't know how to let her live a peaceful life in this chaotic world.

Hua Rong opened her eyes. It was already dusk.

The light was dim, as if something had enveloped her. She let out a "Ugh", extended her hand and brushed it. Only then did she realise that she was in Yue Pengju's embrace, wrapped up by his robe. Yue Pengju had also woken up. He gently lifted his robe and touched her forehead, and said in pleasant surprise: "Elder sister, you're not hot anymore …"

The chest that was pressed against her face was just too warm, to the point that she almost completely forgot about the fright and escape that happened a moment ago.

"Pengju, no more pursuers?"

"Not yet. Elder sister, don't be afraid, I'm here. "

Her face was still buried in his embrace as she said softly, "Peng Jian, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything …"

The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. The strength of the individual was so insignificant, and the woman was also on the brink of death. She was weak and terrified like she had never been before.

She suddenly thought of something and raised her head. "Where are Wan Wan and the rest?"

Yue Pengju looked sad as he shook his head. The Da Song could not protect its subjects, and herself, even more so, could not protect the tens of thousands of people who had fallen into the calamity of war. He looked out at the vast world and let out a long sigh, "Sister, I hope that one day I can save all the people of the world. But, when I can't save you, I can only save you first! "

Hua Rong's heart trembled, she did not know whether it was happiness or sadness, as tears rolled down her hot chest, her shoulders trembled slightly. There were many things in this chaotic world, if she did not have a strong arm to rely on, the fate of the women in Liu Jia Temple would be her.

If he was here, everything, perhaps, would be different.

The two of them did not speak further. After a long while, Hua Rong could smell the fragrance of rations and the smell of rabbit meat. She did not know when Yue Pengju had put it aside to roast, but the boiling snow water was gurgling.

Yue Pengju dipped the dried rations in the boiling water and gave it to her: "Elder sister, please eat some … …"

"Heh heh, Pengju, you still have rabbit meat?"

"I'm not hungry …"

"Idiot, how could I not be hungry!"

She knew that he was worried about losing food and had to endure his hunger to keep it for himself. She smiled slightly and was about to go get the bowl when Yue Pengju saw that her body was extremely weak.

It was the first time in Hua Rong's life that she was taken care of so meticulously. Every time she took a bite, she would take a look, but she felt that the man in front of him had firm eyes and strong wrists.

He was clearly sad, but he couldn't help but laugh.

"Elder sister, is it better now?"

"Much better."

He put down the bowl and took her hand in the firelight. She looked soft, like his little sister.

"Peng Ju, what should we do in the future?"

"When the snow stops, we will set off immediately. The Ninth Prince is probably on his way back to the capital. Ninth Prince mustn't come back, he can only be a hostage. If that happens, Jinguo will really catch them all in one fell swoop … "

"So we must stop him."

She became a little more spirited because she felt guilty for not being able to save the Ninth Prince's family members. She became even more anxious, "Pengju, we'll leave when the sun rises."

He touched her forehead. "Are you all right?"

Even though her body was still soft, she immediately regained her spirit upon seeing his pitying eyes, "I'm fine."

"Mm, it's indeed not appropriate to stay here for long." His heart was pure, and he said whatever he wanted, "Elder sister, these days, we can't even take a single step away from each other. We also have to be together at night."

She smiled sweetly and leaned her head against his chest again. This was the first time she focused on listening to the strong heartbeat of a man. "Pengju, with you here, I won't be afraid."

He gently wrapped his arms around her waist, and for some reason, his face felt hot, and his heart began to beat even faster. On the snowy night when he was on the run, the world of death was no longer as frightening as it was when he held the person in his arms.

Furthermore, King Qin, on a snowy night when you meet Hua Rong, you lost her again even though you were so close to him. He was both angry and resentful. Throughout the journey, ever since she stole a glance at Hua Rong in the Xiangzhou Base Camp, he had not once seen him in person, let alone speak to him directly.

Although he did not feel grief or fear at the destruction of the Song Kingdom, every time he saw his country's tens of thousands of women being ravaged by the Golden Army, even the imperial concubine would not be able to escape her misfortune.

This time, Hua Rong was clearly in front of her, but in the dark night, she could no longer be seen.

A gold soldier was dragging Lee's, when she suddenly saw the King Qin rushing over in the night, he was so scared that she threw the Lee's off her horse and ran. Lee's fell on the snow, his nose and mouth sunk deep into the snow, immediately fainting.

King Qin pulled her up, only then did she wake up. Hearing that these people had a Song people accent, she heaved a sigh of relief and knelt down to kowtow, "Thank you benefactor …"

King Qin was impatient: "Women, you are running around randomly."

He turned around and left, but Lee's held him by the legs as he cried, "benefactor, can you save my Young Miss? "I will repay you for what you've done …"

In his life, he was always licking his own blood, committing murder and arson, raping and plundering. Unexpectedly, a woman would hug his leg and call for him to save her, feeling extremely depressed, he immediately lifted her: "I couldn't even find my wife, how can I find the energy to save your young miss? "Don't bother laozi …"

Lee's thought he was a loyal hero. Seeing him act so viciously, he didn't dare to ask for more, but he didn't dare to leave on his own either.

King Qin looked at his remaining seven to eight brothers. Out of the nearly twenty elite soldiers he had brought along, only these few were left standing.

Li Xing's entire body was covered in blood, he gasped for breath, "Great King, what should we do?"

"Find the Lady and leave."

Li Xing could no longer hold it in, "But, Madam is obviously hiding from you, you can't find a way either if you keep on searching like this, and will forever miss it. The situation is so chaotic, it will be too dangerous if you continue staying …"

He said bitterly, "I really shouldn't have allowed her to go to the capital. Never mind, next time I see her, I'll just snatch her away." He let out a long breath and said to himself, "Luckily she is fine and did not fall into the hands of the gold soldier, as long as she is still alive, everything will be fine."

"Then what should we do?"

"Immediately follow the directions and search. They won't be able to get far with such a heavy snowfall."

"Yes."

Seven or eight people were walking on the road with great difficulty. By the time dawn arrived, the snow in front of them was boundless. Where could they find a single trace of them? Li Xing said: "Great King, there will always be a gold soldier around …"

"Alright, everyone be careful."

On the way, he heard the sound of a Horseshoe's bell. King Qin bellowed, and then everyone hid their bodies in a big pile of snow. Only to see two girls stumbling and running over, because of their small feet, and because of chasing, they fell down a few times and then crawled back up again. One of the girls who was wearing light purple clothes, fell on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, so the girl beside her pulled her back. The young lady was Wan Wan, and started crying anxiously: "Princess, get up quickly … "Hurry up …"

"Wan Wan, run, don't worry about me …"

The gold soldier had already caught up, and the leading gold soldier laughed sinisterly: "Princess Tian Xiang, where do you think you're going to escape to?"
