King Qin returned to the bow of the ship just in time to see Hua Rong coming out from Zhao Deji's cabin. Of course he knew what she was doing.
He was so angry that he almost jumped up and punched the iron railing.
As if he hadn't seen Hua Rong's angry actions, Hua Rong walked out and sat beside him. Both of her legs stretched out from the metal railing and hung in the air, swaying slightly.
The King Qin breathed heavily, reaching out his palm, wanting to slap her hard.
Her voice was also dry, but it was extremely gentle, as if she was softly whispering, "Isn't it good for me to be with you when you're hungry?"
King Qin was startled.
"Take a seat. Look at how good the moonlight is tonight."
She raised her head and looked at the round and big moon in the sky, then pointed at it with her finger: "Qin Shangcheng, have you ever seen such a good moon?"
He had a strange feeling in his heart. He depressingly asked, "What's so good about the moon?"
"Look!" If you look closely, you will see that the moon is actually very beautiful. "
He could only sit beside her and 'admire' the moonlight. He couldn't tell what was going on, but he spat with hatred, "Girl, why did you give it to him? It's just this one and the last one. I can't bear to part with it …"
She turned her head and looked at him. Seeing how smelly his face was, she could not help but chuckle, this was war, this was disaster. At this moment, even a mighty King Qin would fuss over such a small fruit.
However, the current King Qin only made her feel a little human, and was no longer a fiendish devil.
"Thank you."
He listened to her mindless words of thanks, then saw her upturned face under the moonlight, as if a layer of jade had been sprinkled on it. It looked so gentle, so pure, so beautiful, as if it was an unknown spirit that had descended from the heavens.
"Little girl!"
"Yes."
"If you can find a way out, I'll pluck many fruits for you to eat in the future."
"Sure."
He suddenly thought of an important question. "Girl, do you still hate me?"
After asking this question, he felt it was strange and mumbled to himself, "You don't have to answer, I don't want to hear it."
She looked at the moon, then at him, and smiled. "No! I don't hate you anymore. "
He felt like jumping up, but he still sat there silently, not knowing what to say. He looked up at the moon like her, and gradually, he saw the shadow of the laurel tree in the moon, Wu Gang who was chopping it down, and Chang'e who was hugging a rabbit …
After a long while, he retracted his gaze and discovered that Hua Rong was leaning on the iron railings with her eyes closed.
It was cold outside, but he didn't want to go into the cabin and listen to the sound of the pirates snoring. He held her gently in his arms, lifted her legs from under her, undressed her, snuggled up against her, and fell asleep.
Jin Wushu had taken Han Chang's plan and made it work in one go. He thought that Zhao Deji would catch him off guard, but he never expected that he would actually escape. When Wang Erqi's fleet reunited with Han Chang's, they saw that his main battleship had already been smashed into pieces, and was in complete disarray.
On the boat, Jin Wushu held his second military meeting.
The moment Wang Erqi saw Jin Wushu, he immediately kneeled down. "This humble general is guilty, and apologizes for my great love to Fourth Prince."
Jin Wushu helped him up: "General Wang has done a great service, what crime is this?" He waved his hand and Wu Qimai brought along a few enchanting women. Jin Wushu said: "I'll give General Wang 500 gold and 3 beauties. "In addition, everyone has their rewards …"
Seeing that they had lost the battle and even received rewards, Jin Wushu's actions were straight to the point. As expected, all of them were deeply grateful, Wang Erqi said loudly: "I will definitely defend this region of the sea with my life, I must capture Zhao Deji and hand him over to Fourth Prince."
"This prince is just waiting for the good news from General Wang."
"Zhao Deji has already escaped to the dead end ahead. That is a volcanic island, and he can't land nor move forward. He won't be able to hold on for long …"
"As long as we guard this place, once they attack due to extreme hunger, they will have nowhere to run …"
"Why not catch a turtle in a jar …"
The news of Jin Wushu being reused had already spread via the Golden Army along the way. Even before the war, he had purposely spread the news of the King Qin being exterminated. The various forces on the sea respected the King Qin, and when they saw that the King Qin was falling, they couldn't help but start to get restless.
On this day, Jin Wushu stood at the top of the ship, looking at the vast sea, he felt relaxed and happy. It was the first time in his life that he had experienced such a beautiful scenery on the sea, but he felt that the bustling land in the center of the sea, the sky above the Su Hang Mountain and the sea, were fundamentally different from the bitter cold Great Golden Grassland Desert. This was a playworld, how could Zhao Deji be worthy of it?
Wu Qimai asked him: "Fourth Prince, how much longer do we have to wait?"
"Haha, Wu Qimai, are you still unable to stand the scenery on the sea?"
Although Wu Qimai had improved a little in the past two days, he was still inferior to him who was able to move as he pleased on the plains. He shook his head: "I can't take it anymore."
"This prince has already gotten used to it. Rest assured, in a few days, we will definitely be able to catch Zhao Deji. "
"Zhao Deji is really cunning, his luck is too good, every single time he escaped …"
"Don't worry, this time, his luck won't be any better. This prince has set up an inescapable trap to see just how long he can stay on the ocean with the sea breeze. "
Just as Jin Wushu had expected, Zhao Deji and the rest were indeed unable to continue staying at sea.
That evening, everyone was gathered in the cabin. Their hunger and thirst had almost sapped everyone's fighting spirit. From where he was going to go, all 21 pairs of eyes were fixated on Zhao Deji.
Zhao Deji had not closed his eyes for many days and nights, so he was in a sorry state. Seeing that he could not make a decision, the King Qin stood up and said loudly, "There is no other way, we should just go all out, go back and find a way out."
Lin Zhijie was worried: "The Golden Army is heavily guarded, how can I charge out?"
King Qin had already thought about it for a long time. "I have a plan, why not turn around tonight? I will send out signals along the way to call for help from the pirates nearby. "In that case, there is still a chance for survival …"
"What if the others don't save him?"
"Then let fate decide!"
At this moment, no one had a better way. Zhao Deji, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and said: "Alright, let's do as King Qin says. Whether we live or die, it's up to the heavens to decide."
"In that case, return immediately and catch some raw fish in front of us. Everyone eat and prepare for battle."
"Yes."
After a hundred li, there were fish and prawns. Everyone was already extremely hungry, and once they caught the raw fish, they began to eat it like drinking blood. Zhao Deji resisted the disgusting feeling with force. Clutching his nose, he swallowed the raw fish in a few gulps like poison.
Hua Rong was also holding onto a very beautiful fish, but she almost wanted to vomit. King Qin simply caught the fish and knocked it on the side. The fish's tail quickly stopped struggling and was covered in blood.
"Little girl, quickly eat it. This fish can quench your thirst."
Hua Rong forced herself to swallow, she almost shed tears from the fishy smell.
King Qin glared at her: "This daddy here was once chased down and killed once, and has even eaten scorpions. Some fish have eaten, it can be considered good."
Hua Rong did not answer, and the King Qin did not say anything else. He turned back and shouted, and the boat immediately turned and took advantage of the night to return. Everyone held their last breaths, holding all the weapons they could.
Lin Zhijie, Xu Caizhi and the rest were even more focused, protecting Zhao Deji.
After sailing for a few dozen miles, the King Qin suddenly released a strange type of flame that spread out in the air and made a loud noise.
This loud noise was like a bomb that landed on Zhao Deji's head. It was unknown whether or not the King Qin could be alerted because of this, but it was inevitable. Life and death, in this battle, who would be under whom?
At this moment, Han Chang and Wang Erqi also rushed up. Just as they were about to report to Jin Wushu, they saw a dazzling firework burst out of the night sky in the distance, and said with a pale expression, "Not good, King Qin is summoning the old tribe."
"Even the King Qin's old tribe has come?"
Wang Erqi continued, "Along the way, the pirates are not worth mentioning, but the King Qin has a direct descendant team of around two thousand people, and should not be underestimated …"
Once the fireworks were released, sure enough, dozens of water tankers were flying at high speeds, chasing after them under the night sky. All of them were the direct descendants of the King Qin. Although the pirates were brave and courageous, they had never experienced such a large-scale group battle. Furthermore, they were also lacking King Qin's on-the-spot command.
King Qin looked at the flames in the sky, his heart burning with anxiety, but he could not do anything about it.
Zhao Deji was also standing at the bow of the ship, and suddenly shouted: "Success or failure depends on one blow, if I am able to rush out, I will share the river and mountains with everyone!"
For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, the King Qin did not hear what he had said at all, and shouted, "Quickly get down, the Golden Army is coming for us!"
Sure enough, the arrows were shooting towards them like dark clouds. A few of them bent down a little bit and cried out before falling into the sea.
The King Qin caught Hua Rong and jumped into the sea. He firmly grabbed onto a mast and dodged the incoming sharp arrow s. Hua Rong's legs were submerged in the sea water, cold to the bone, and she anxiously asked, "Where's the Emperor?"
"Who cares about that Bird Emperor?"
King Qin dragged her up, "Little girl, how long can you hold on for?"
"You don't have to worry about me, hurry up and go check on the emperor."
King Qin spat in anger, "Girl, Zhao Deji has probably fallen into the water to be fed to the bastard …"
Hua Rong was even more nervous, looking around, she could not see Zhao Deji, even Lin Zhijie and the rest could not see him. She was so shocked that she almost cried out. A flame flashed in front of her eyes and a rocket flew over, exploding in the water in front of her. In that instant, she heard Xu Caizhi's scream.
King Qin pulled her as she swam over from the side. Sure enough, seven to eight people surrounded Zhao Deji and held onto the side of the ship tightly. He knew that things were not going well. If this went on, Golden Army would be beaten like a dog in the water, and if she could hold on any longer, she would either fall into the sea or be shot to death. Furthermore, Golden Army's fleet was breaking through the obstruction of the pirates and approaching them.
, Han Chang and the others were all on top of it. Fifty crossbowmen, full of bows and arrows, aimed at the small boat that was starting to catch fire in the dark of the night.
Jin Wushu's voice was filled with vigor, "Zhao Deji, your end is nigh. Quickly surrender, this prince can still spare your life!"
"Zhao Deji, surrender. Your father is under the orders of the decadence, and your big brother is unconscious, so this crown prince shall bestow upon you the title of 'Marquis of Escape'. What do you think?"
"Zhao Deji, this prince will count to three, if you do not surrender, you can just give the order to shoot. "One, two, three …"
A wave of random arrows shot over. King Qin growled, "Quick, swim to the big boat in front of us …"
Zhou Qi said: "King, that boat is already broken …"
"To put one's life on the line and live. "That's where I can hide. If I can't hide here, I'll get shot to death by random arrows …"
Everyone had no choice but to pull Zhao Deji and swim out under the cover of night. Zhao Deji's entire body was submerged in the ocean water and he was almost paralyzed.
"Shangguan Family …"
"Your Majesty …"
He laughed bitterly, "The heavens truly want us to die."
No one could comfort him anymore. All they could do was pull him along and use their last breath to hide in the shadow of the ship. Being supported by the three people, Zhao Deji sank into the ground, as the last bit of confidence and strength he had was almost gone.
The dilapidated ship was surrounded from afar.
Jin Wushu stood at the top of the warship, protecting him with a shield in his hands and dozens of guards on his left and right.
Seeing Zhao Deji and the others fleeing in a sorry state, he laughed out loud like a cat catching a mouse: "King Qin, you don't have to support this unconscious anymore, quickly surrender, this prince will confer you the title of General of plumbing …"
King Qin made a "pei" sound. He knew that his target would be exposed the momenthe answered, so she didn't say a single word.
"Hua Rong, and you! I have already seen you. Hurry up and surrender, or personally hand Zhao Deji over, and this crown prince will spare your life … "
Hua Rong suddenly thought of the refugees by the river who had been robbed by Jin Wushu's orders. Thinking of the situation they were in today, Hua Rong felt both anger and regret.
