Along the way, they saw that he was extremely meticulous to Hua Rong, unlike brother to sister, and more like brother to sister. He was even more considerate and considerate than brother to brother. She found it even more strange, thinking, where in this world could there be such a considerate brother?
She suddenly asked: "flower sister, you and Big Brother Yue are siblings, why is your surname Hua, his surname Yue?"
He was currently leaning on Yue Pengju's shoulder with his eyes closed, about to fall asleep. After hearing Wan Wan's question, she did not reply, but instead heard Yue Pengju's reply first: "We're not blood related siblings, so our surnames are naturally different."
Wan Wan had already guessed that the two were not siblings and immediately asked: "Then, what about you?"
Hua Rong's eyes became hazy and she said: "I'm too tired, everyone rest first, I still need to hurry back tomorrow morning."
Wan Wan was unresigned in her heart, but she could not ask anymore, so she could only sleep along with her mother.
On the second day, when everyone was on the road and entered the borders of the magnetic field, they received a good news. Ninth Prince's Master of King Ching was already stationed here, and he was currently at the residence of the magnetic field's Old Mr. Zong Ze.
Yue Pengju had a good relationship with the Master Zong in his early years, after he had entered the battlefield, he had transferred to one of his subordinates, which made it so that he could support his student.
Ninth Prince was discussing countermeasures with Zong Ze, and had to report to Hua Rong and the others that they wanted to meet, so he hurriedly came out to welcome them. The four of them waited in the hall. Seeing that Ninth Prince had come out, Hua Rong was ashamed and excited, and immediately bowed: "Ninth Prince, Hua Rong is guilty, I have failed to live up to your request …"
Ninth Prince had long known that his wife and children were captured by Golden Man, the pain was in his heart, but he maintained his composure. He let out a long sigh and helped her up, "Hua Rong, you don't have to blame yourself. This King will be very happy if you can escape. "
Hua Rong raised her head and saw that his eyes were sunken in, his expression miserable. It was obvious that she was a person of such spirit, and did not know what kind of torment she had to go through to get so haggard. Hearing his words, General Xu became even more uneasy, "General Xu and I have separated, so far we don't even know where he is."
The Ninth Prince was still as amiable as before. "Fortunately you escaped first.
Yue Pengju also greeted Zong Ze, Ninth Prince and the others. At this time, Ninth Prince finally saw Wan Wan, who had been hiding behind Yue Pengju.
Frowning: "Wan Wan, is that you?"
Wan Wan cried and knelt down, "The elder brother of the nine …"
So it turned out that Wan Wan was the daughter of a clan, and the cousin of the Ninth Prince. Ninth Prince had seen her before, and when he saw that she had escaped, he was ecstatic. "Thank god, Wan Wan, get up quickly."
Wan Wan did not reveal her identity to anyone along the way, so the two of them did not question her in detail. It was only now that Yue Pengju and Hua Rong realised that she was actually a Princess.
Wan Wan cried like rain, "The elder brother of the nine, Princess Tianwei, she … She ran away with me, and we separated twice. gold soldier mistook her for being captured by Princess Tian Xiang … "
Amongst the tens of siblings, Ninth Prince was the closest to him, and his most beloved sister fell into his hands. He held his forehead, and felt dizzy, before murmuring, "In the end, I still can't escape this calamity …"
This was the name of the Princess Tianwei.
"The Princess Tianwei was taken away, and perhaps was also imprisoned in the Liu Jia Temple … Fortunately, Young Master Yue and I received help from Young Master Yue, and were able to escape his devilish palms by a fluke … " Wan Wan sobbed as she looked at Yue Pengju with extreme gratitude, "The elder brother of the nine, it was Young Master Yue who saved us …"
The Ninth Prince immediately said: "Pengju, thank you."
Yue Pengju said solemnly: "I don't dare! This is the duty of the end. "
"I met Princess Tianwei. She said that the emperor had no choice but to go back to Jinying four days ago. This time, he probably won't be able to come out again. After the Emperor was taken captive, all the princess' women were taken away, and all the princes and royal descendants were gathered together … "Only the emperor is left in the palace …"
The royal women were basically imprisoned in the Liu Jia Temple, and they were also family members of the Ninth Prince. Ninth Prince's eyes were bloodshot. "No, I will definitely rush back to the capital and save them …"
Zong Ze anxiously said: "Absolutely not! Your Highness, at this moment, all of the royal family's disciples have been taken care of in one fell swoop, leaving you alone to maintain Da Song's safety. Once you go to Jinying, you will fall into his trap. From now on, my Da Song will truly die … "
Yue Pengju also said, "Ninth Prince thinks twice, Golden Man is crafty and deceitful, you must not go …"
Ninth Prince was excessively saddened. He waved his sleeves and said, "You don't have to persuade me otherwise, this king will definitely go. He is my wife and son now, and in the future, even if it comes to Royal Mother and Father, am I supposed to sit idly by and do nothing? Master Zong, prepare your horses and troops immediately, we will set off tomorrow. "
No one dared to persuade him again. Although they were burning with anxiety, they could do nothing about it.
It was already deep into the night.
Although the Magnificent Regional Prefect was not a luxurious place, compared to his days of flight, he was already considered to be in heaven.
Hua Rong, Wan Wan and the other female servants were arranged to live in a separate courtyard. The warm bed was being boiled, but in the end, her heart was still restless. Hua Rong was tossing and turning in his bed, but no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.
Someone knocked on the door, and a servant girl came in: "Miss Hua, the Duke's bodyguard Fan Gang requests to see you."
Fan Gang and Xu Caizhi had been by Ninth Prince's side for a long time, so Hua Rong was very familiar with him.
She immediately got out of bed and went into the living room. Fan Gang looked anxious: "Miss Hua, I have a favor to ask of you …"
"Lord Fan, please speak."
"I sincerely request Miss Hua to advise the Duke that he cannot return to the capital to be a hostage at this moment, or else, the Da Song would truly be finished. Now, no one will be able to persuade him otherwise. Miss Hua, please go and advise … "
She hesitated for a moment. "Your highness is stubborn, even Master Zong's advice is useless. I'm just afraid that I …"
Both he and Xu Caizhi knew that the Prince wanted to make Hua Rong his lateral consort, and so at this moment, he had already placed all his hopes on her and bowed once more, "Miss Hua, you and your highness have known each other for so many years. Your highness has always admired you, I will more or less listen to your advice.
"Ai, alright, I'll go take a look."
"Thank you very much."
Although the snow and wind had stopped, the cold air still assaulted her. From afar, she saw a person standing under a wutong tree in the garden.
Although he had worked hard for many days, the grief had accumulated in his heart. How could he close his eyes and rest? The Ninth Prince calmed down a bit and truly started to consider whether or not he should go back.
The moonlight was silent.
Hua Rong stood behind Ninth Prince for a while before mustering up the courage to speak, "Your Highness, it's better if you don't go back tomorrow. The Golden Man controls the entire open seal, I witnessed the process of the emperor going to negotiate with him with my own eyes, and now, the emperor has fallen into the hands of the Golden Man once again. It is said that the Prince and his grandson were also taken care of in one fell swoop, leaving you with only your last hope of becoming the Da Song, once you return, I'm afraid you will never be able to come out. Right now, Golden Army Marshal Zong Han had already released a rumor that he was going to capture you. "As long as the mountains remain, there will be nothing to fear. If you go back, not only will you not be able to save them, you will also be sacrificing yourself for nothing. Your Highness, please reconsider …"
Ninth Prince let out a long sigh. Almost overnight, his parents, wife, children, siblings, and family members were all taken care of in one fell swoop. He became a complete loner.
Ever since she had met the Ninth Prince, she had always felt that he was a scheming person with powerful martial arts and was a very powerful person. This was the first time Hua Rong had heard him sigh in such a sorrowful manner and her heart was filled with sorrow. Countless civilians and soldiers are counting on you, hoping that under your leadership, you can defeat Golden Army … "
Those gentle and charming hands covered the Big Kew, and just as she was about to put it down, Ninth Prince suddenly turned around and hugged her. She said with a choked voice, "Rong Er, I don't have any relatives left, not even a single one!"
This "Rong Er", contained more than just a thousand words! This was the first time in Hua Rong's life she heard someone call him that, so she did not think too much, and hoped that he would be able to pull herself together, and anxiously said: "Your Highness, you still have thousands of men and horses, and citizens of the Da Song! Only with your leadership can we defeat the Golden Army and revive the valleys. "
Ninth Prince leaned on her shoulder, and after a long while, he raised his head, and said with a determined voice: "Alright, I will definitely defeat Golden Man!"
Hua Rong was so overjoyed that she almost jumped: "My prince, thank you. Thank you for thinking it through."
"Rong Er, stay by my side. I need more people right now."
"Yes, I will. Since Princess Hua-Yang and the rest are locked in Liu Jia Temple, I don't think that Golden Army will leave anytime soon. I will wait for the chance to save them again.
Before Ninth Prince could reply, he suddenly heard some whooshing sounds. At this time, Hua Rong's voice also changed, and he immediately pushed him away: "Your Highness, quickly leave, there's an assassin here."
Unfortunately, they were too late. A few masked assassins had killed their way here, and all of them were top experts.
released a small arrow and shot out three people consecutively. Everyone's target was originally not her, so they surrounded Ninth Prince. She couldn't hold it in anymore. Hua Rong didn't have much time to think, when she saw the blade slashing down on him, he protected him with all her might. The blade almost touched her forehead and Ninth Prince shouted, "Rong Er, dodge …" He pushed with all her might and actually pushed her away. The two of them were lucky enough to escape, but an even fiercer attack had arrived. In that moment, they were surrounded by danger.
In the midst of the chaos, an assassin with a blade pierced straight into the heart of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince turned horizontally and slashed at him from the back, causing Hua Rong to be entangled by the two assassins and unable to come back for rescue. Seeing that the Ninth Prince was unable to dodge, he suddenly heard a furious roar.
Hua Rong was shocked: "Pengju, you …"
"Elder sister, quickly escort the prince away …"
At this time, the guards had already heard the news and rushed over. Seeing that they were unable to escape, the assassins actually bit their teeth and committed suicide one by one. It was obvious that there was poison hidden in their teeth.
One of the guards took off his mask, all of them were assassins sent by the Golden Man.
Everyone hurriedly gathered in the hall. In the chaos, Hua Rong pulled Yue Pengju along, and seeing that his entire body was covered in blood, she became anxious and afraid, because two doctors from Zhizhou Prefecture were bandaging him up, he helped Ninth Prince block two blades, one on her left shoulder and the other on her right rib. Luckily, they were all superficial wounds, and her life was in danger.
After he was finished bandaging up, Ninth Prince let out a long sigh. "Pengju, if it wasn't for your brother and sister's loyal protection, next year would have been the day of this duke's sacrifice."
"end's injuries aren't serious, don't worry, your highness. Those who are on the march, these are just minor injuries."
Ninth Prince looked at Hua Rong again, only to see that she was focused on Yue Pengju's injuries, after hearing his praise, he turned his eyes and smiled: "Your highness is safe and sound, I am very lucky."
