C128 Fail

The golden vulture watched helplessly as Zhao Deji and the others were rescued by Yue Peng, their distance growing further and further away. Wang Er Qi knew that he had failed, so he kneeled down and said, "Fourth Prince, this lowly general isn't good enough …"

Han Changqi said anxiously, "Fourth Prince, if we don't retreat soon, we're going to be surrounded …"

"Retreat!" Jin Huang was so angry that his face turned blue. He gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

Han Changqing immediately turned around and ran after receiving the order.

On the other side, when Yue Peng saw Jin Jun turn around, he shot the flame lance in his hand towards the sky with a "peng" sound and shouted, "Surround Jin Jun, annihilate him in one go … …"

Zhao Deji had already collapsed in the cabin as he mumbled, "There's no time to chase after Jin Jun right now. Let's go back first …"

Lonesome Flower said anxiously, "Pengju is well-prepared. If he lets the army escape, there will be endless trouble in the future. It's better to just deal them a heavy blow …"

He was a little sober as he stood up. "Since that's the case, I must seize the art of the golden vulture and skin him alive to vent my hatred …"

"Yes."

In a flash, the situation changed. The pirates who had recovered from their shock also joined the Song Army and engaged the Golden Army in close combat. Surrounded by so many people that there was no time to fight, everyone was running for their lives. The number of deaths could not be counted.

"Chase, hurry up and capture the golden vulture …"

"Grasping the Golden Vulture skill will reward you …"

"Golden Vulture, you can't run anymore …"

In the end, the Golden Vulture's ability did not allow him to fight in the sea. Once it was defeated, he could not help but tremble in fear while looking at the endless sea.

Wang Erqi said, "Fourth Prince, the Song Army has surrounded this water stronghold. We can only move to the east …"

To the east was Wang Erqi's island, which could still be maintained for a while.

Han Chang Zai was full of worry. "Once we get on the island, I'm afraid we'll be surrounded and attacked …"

"The island is rich in resources and reserves, so it is not a problem to hold on for a short period of time."

The Golden Vulture saw that the pursuers were already close, so it had no choice but to make the remnants flee to the island of Wang Erqi.

Zhao Deji was standing at the bow of the ship. He saw that Song Jun was unable to catch up with him, and said in disappointment, "He called for the Golden Eel, that dog of a thief, to escape …"

Yue Peng said, "No, there is a deserted island in front of us. "We can lay siege to the island and capture the gold condor."

Zhao Deji let out a sigh of relief. Although he was exhausted, he had just eaten something, changed into some dry clothes, and managed to escape from death, and the situation had turned from defeat to victory in a blink of an eye. His spirits were lifted, and he had regained some of his composure.

"This humble general came late to save Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"No, no!" "Peng Ju, after this battle, I will give you a great reward."

Lonesome Flower heard it clearly from the side, but it was unknown whether he was happy or worried. In her heart, after this battle, she wanted to leave with Yue Peng. Accompanying Jun Ruoruo like a tiger was not a long term solution. Yue Peng raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. This humble general does not dare to accept the reward for the time being. Let's talk after I've obtained the Golden Vulture skill."

"Ok, Yue Pengju, you definitely have to use the Golden Vulture Skill. We will kill him to cleanse this shame and humiliation."

"Yes."

He suddenly took a step back and held onto Hua Xuan's hand tightly, "I also have one more request. I request that Your Majesty allow this humble general's wife, Hua Xuan, to follow the army."

Zhao Deji's gaze turned to Flower Soluble, but he saw that she was also looking at him with a nervous expression. Suddenly, she thought of that bottomless night, and the half of the fruit that she had sent over. He didn't know what he felt in his heart. He thought of Qin Shangcheng, who had contributed greatly to his rescue this time. He did not mention the figure that would bring Yue Peng endless trouble — — Hua Jue, who was once the wife of King Qin. How could he let it go now?

Zhao Deji pondered for a moment and then said, "I will escape this great calamity and see the light of day once more. I will depend on you and my wife. Forget it. From today onwards, I will follow your lead."

Under the gazes of everyone present, the two of them heard the words "you two are husband and wife". They looked at each other in pleasant surprise.

After a short while, Zhao Deji finally asked Hua Xuan, "Why did Qin Shang City leave?"

These days, he had been relying on Qin Shang Cheng for rescue, wanting to recruit this powerful pirate clan. However, seeing him leave without a word, he knew that this person was difficult to control. He turned to Hua Li, only to see her calm expression.

"Huaxue, Qin Shang Cheng did a great job protecting the emperor, I want to recruit him into the imperial court. What do you think?"

Huaxue shook her head. "Qin Shangcheng is not a wild man. Why don't we let him take control of the sea and fight against the Golden Army? This way, the imperial government can save money on military expenditures …"

Zhao Deji nodded, "That makes sense." Send someone to reward them in the future. "

The Prefect kneeled down, "Your Majesty, we should return first. This place is dangerous and it is not suitable for us to stay for long."

Zhao Deji turned around and boarded the large ship that was the Prefect of Zhenjiang. With the support of the civil officials who had rushed over, he first returned to the Zhenjiang Mansion to wait for Jiayin.

Yue Peng and Hua Jue were overjoyed when they saw each other again. However, they did not have much time to talk about it, and immediately called for troops to deploy to capture the Golden Vulture. They discussed until midnight, when the people were tired and the horses were tired. Everyone went back to their own rooms to rest, leaving only two people behind.

The two of them had already been publicly proclaimed husband and wife by Zhao Deji. Everyone knew that, so they didn't avoid suspicion and chose to stay in the same room.

Yue Pengju held her tightly and sighed, "Elder sister, we've separated too many times."

She also sighed with emotion, "Speaking of which, it was all thanks to King Qin. If it wasn't for him saving me, I really wouldn't have been able to see you."

King Qin had lent a hand several times, from the Solitary Sword Gold Camp to escaping out of the sea. Every time, he would disregard life and death, and regardless of the cost, Yue Pengju sighed: "I really don't know how to thank him, nor do I know how to face him."

Lonesome Flower was silent for a moment. She did not know either.

Would King Qin just let it go like this?

If he refused to give up, what would happen to him?

The gratitude he felt towards Yue Yang grew deeper and deeper. However, he was absolutely unwilling to part with Yue Yang and marry him.

With such a entanglement, how could he use his blade to hack at the numbness?

Her mind was in a mess as she reluctantly replied, "Let's talk about it after we capture the golden vulture."

"Yes."

Yue Peng looked at her under the dim light of the candle. Seeing that she had already closed her eyes, he fell into a deep sleep due to her exhaustion. He hugged her a little more tightly, but tossed and turned, unable to sleep anymore.

On King Qin's warship.

Third Uncle Yang stood in front of Great King Qin. When he saw that he was injured by a few arrows, he immediately took out some medicine to treat him.

He took the dry rations and water, and started to chew. "How did you meet up with Yue Pengju?"

He had long known that Yue Pengju had defeated the Golden Army in a dozen consecutive battles. When he saw that Yue Pengju had sent out his envoy, he immediately contacted him. Both sides had discussed, and coordinated with each other, using a strange technique to surprise the Golden Army.

Although King Qin did not manage to find a wife, he did not reveal any details of her marriage. They were not aware of the relationship between Yue Pengju and Hua Jue, and only praised him, "I never thought that the child on the island would have become the number one general of Song Kingdom."

King Qin frowned. At that time, he saw that Hua Xuan was out of danger and was in a hurry to command his warship, so he bid farewell to her. Now, he immediately thought of what he should do once Yue Yang lifted this brat.

In the past few days, he shared life and death with Lonesome Flower, and they were inseparable. He had already treated her as his wife and remembered that Yue Pengju had publicly declared that he was married to her. Didn't he have a huge competition?

How could he bear it? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Thus, he got up and left.

"Great King, where are you going?"

"I'm going out for a while."

The Song Army who was on duty naturally knew that this was a "friendly" warship and waved the flag.

In the darkness of the night, King Qin looked at the boat on the opposite side. The commander on the boat was Yue Pengju.

He passed by the boat and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm looking for Yue Pengju."

When Yue Yang heard the voice, he came out. Although King Qin's eyes were sleepy when he saw Hua Jue following beside him, the two of them were both wearing neat armors. Obviously, they did not have any overstepping actions.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

Yue Peng was very grateful that he had rescued Hua Jue, and bowed respectfully: "King Qin, thank you for saving my wife so many times, thank you very much." Yue Peng was unable to repay him in any way. If there is a chance in the future, he would be willing to serve as a dog with a horse.

He sat down on the ground and said, "Who wants you to thank me? What kindness do you owe me now? "

"Thank you for saving Lonesome Flower."

"Thank you so much." If not for you coming in time, the girl would not be able to hold on. "

Only then did he turn to Huaxue and ask, "Little girl, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. "How about you? How's your injury?"

"It's nothing, just a small injury."

The two of them answered each other lightly. King Qin forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Girl, follow me back to the battleship. Don't trouble Yue Peng anymore!"

Hua Xuan shook his head and said calmly, "Let's discuss how to use the Golden Vulture."

"No way!"

He was furious, but he saw her leaning against the side of the boat. Her body was slightly swaying. She must have been soaking in the sea for a long time to get cold. He immediately stood up and walked over to her, touching her forehead. "Little girl, are you having a fever again?"

"I want to rest. Can you go back first?"

King Qin was originally going to force her into a rage, but seeing that she was in such a state, he had no choice but to say, "Alright, take down the Golden Vulture. I'll come pick you up again."

He did not wait for Hua Xuan's reply and turned to leave. Hua Xuan and Yue Peng looked at each other, not daring to make a sound.

Yue Yang supported her, saying, "Go in and rest."

"Yes."

At this moment, the Golden Vulture had already been chased to Wang Erqi's island. But since the Golden Army had retreated in time, there were still twelve thousand men left.

The Golden Vulture had led the army to the mountains and seas to capture Zhao Dequi, sweeping away all the teachers from different places. There had been many surprise attacks by Elite Armaments, and the lack of victories had left Zhao Dequi in a miserable state. This time, when they had chased him to the ocean, they could have easily captured him.

Just after they were stationed here, they heard from the battle report that King Qin and Yue Pengju were working together to attack the island.

Han Chang Han anxiously ordered for the formation to be set up, and after battling with Song Jun, he discovered that although the water army led by Yue Pengju numbered less than five thousand, the formation was strict, and there was room for improvement. As for the King of Qin's warship on the left wing, it also relied on its excellent equipment. Very quickly, the Golden Army was defeated, and by the evening, there were only two thousand people left.

However, these thousand plus people retreated to defend the island. The terrain was dangerous, and with rocks and bows as weapons, they could hold the fort for as long as they wanted. The Song Army was not able to attack for the time being, so they could only retreat after seeing that it was already too late.

The Golden Vulture had never been defeated on such a large scale in his life. He just wanted Yue Pengju to be his nemesis. As long as he was around, he had never encountered any good fortune.

Wu Qiumei brought in some food, "Fourth Prince, have some."

His eyes were tightly shut and his face was pale.

"Fourth prince …"

"How long can we last on this island?"

Wu Qi-mai could not answer his question. He was even more unaccustomed to the sea climate and fled to the island, feeling even more hopeless than the Golden Vulture.

The golden vulture sighed, "Yue Pengju uses troops like a god. If we want to escape, it will probably be even harder."

Wang Erqi, who had been waiting outside the door, couldn't help but rush in and kneel down in front of him. "Fourth Prince, this humble one deserves to die a thousand deaths. This humble one will definitely think of a way to let the Fourth Prince escape …"

"Forget it, forget it. Yue Pengju is powerful, you can't be blamed."

Wang Erqi's face was covered in tears. "Fourth Prince, just you wait. This general will definitely find a way out." He rushed out without waiting for a reply.
