With the first success, Yue Pengju's army pushed through the borders and they were not in a hurry to attack the island. They only allowed the rest of the soldiers to rest on the ship to recuperate, but the number of sentries on duty increased by several times, not relaxing in the slightest.
Hua Rong had been on the run for so long that she finally had time to rest. As she sat on the tall spiral staircase, she watched the sea birds fly past him in groups under the clear sky.
In the past few days, she hadn't participated in any battles and had only rested in the cabin. However, after soaking in the sea for a long time, she had caught a cold.
Yue Pengju finished his discussion, went up to look for her, sat by her side, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He then took out a large Big Kew s that were used by sailors to cover her body, revealing only his face to the outside: "Elder sister, the wind is too strong, what are you doing out here?"
"It's too stuffy in the cabin. I want to get some fresh air."
"Do you want to go home?"
Go home? What a strange word. She raised her head, seeing how Yue Pengju's gentle eyes were fixated on her, she laughed: "Pengju, where you are, where your home is."
His heart stirred for a moment. "Mn, when we capture Jin Wushu, we'll leave this place and search for a quiet place to stay."
"Yes."
The two of them held hands, Zhang Xian walked up, he did not want to disturb the two, but he had no choice but to cough and let go of Hua Rong after hearing the first part. He smiled: "Zhang Xian, what's the matter?"
"King Qin is here, he said he wants to see you."
Yue Pengju stood up: "Treat him well, I'll be there shortly."
Hua Rong also stood up. These days, every time she heard the three words "King Qin", he would feel fear.
Yue Pengju once again grabbed her hand and gently said. "Elder sister, it's fine."
I hope it's all right.
The King Qin sat in the cabin and looked around.
He heard the sound of footsteps coming from the door and his heart tightened. Yue Pengju and Hua Rong came in one after another.
He laughed wildly as he stood up, but there was not the slightest hint of a smile in his voice: "Little bastard, Jin Wushu is still like a turtle in a jar now, I'll leave the rest of the mission to you."
"Thank you for your help."
He did not look at Yue Pengju, but saw that his face was pale white, and became worried: "Little girl, the wind on the boat is big, come back to the island with me to rest for a while."
Hua Rong shook his head and said: "No need, thank you."
The King Qin looked at her, then looked at Yue Pengju. These days, he had already heard from Zhou Qi that Zhao Deji had already arranged for her and Yue Pengju's marriage.
It was not surprising to him, but it was still painful, as if something was already growing on him and was about to be chopped off.
This woman was his wife!
Why would Yue Pengju marry her?
He stared at her. "If you want to thank me, come with me!"
She took a step back.
Yue Pengju blocked her way: "King Qin, Hua Rong has long since married me."
King Qin did not even look at him, his eyes were staring straight at Hua Rong, as though flames were about to ignite in his eyes: "She already married me many years ago!"
"King Qin, do you know what happened in that situation!? If you want to do her good, then don't force her anymore. "
King Qin took a step forward, "Little girl, am I forcing you? Your father has risked his life several times for you, could it be that I can't compare to this little bastard? "
Her voice choked with sobs, "I am grateful for you saving me, but, I am sorry. I have really married Peng Ju. I will not change my heart in the slightest in this life."
As if someone had struck his chest heavily, King Qin said in a low voice, "Hua Rong, you have to consider this carefully!"
"I've thought it through. There was no hesitation at all! "
After continuously hitting him, his body seemed like it was about to fall, but he stood firm and didn't move at all: "Hua Rong, I have already given you one chance! However, if you insist on marrying him, I will never let you two off. "
"Qin Shangcheng..."
"Hua Rong, if you insist on marrying him, you will definitely become a widow!"
Yue Pengju said loudly: "King Qin, I have let you down. Why did you have to force Hua Rong?"
King Qin did not even look at him, and only stared at Hua Rong: "Hua Rong, think carefully before you talk to me!"
"NO!" My wife has already completely thought it through. King Qin, if there's anything you need, just come find me from now on. "
King Qin's eyes turned red, he turned and left.
Hua Rong stared at his back, clearly terrified: Would the path ahead of me and Yue Pengju really go smoothly?
Yue Pengju's voice was so gentle, "Elder Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here."
There was him! Always him!
Because of him, she would be in dire straits many times, and would still be able to stand here safe and sound.
As long as he was here, what difficult path would he have to walk?
Caught off guard with a hug on the shoulder and a kiss on the lips. Her face was flushed and she was filled with joy. Yue Pengju softly released her and whispered into her ear, "When we take down Jin Wushu, we'll leave …"
"Leave" — Leave the emperor, the King Qin, Jin Wushu; leave the war and escape.
Yue Pengju held her hand tightly and followed her out.
After being besieged for so many days, the food being exhausted, Jin Wushu was unable to persevere any longer and accepted Wang Erqi's suggestion. He took advantage of the darkness of the night and went out to sea.
Jin Wushu was immediately spotted by the Song Jun when he boarded the fast boat.
Song Jun immediately chased after him. Standing on the bow of the ship, Yue Pengju shot an arrow towards him. Jin Wushu fell to the ground, causing the generals to cheer: "Jin Wushu is dead!"
"Jin Wushu fell into the water …"
"Hurry up and surrender …"
Yue Pengju felt that something was amiss. He suddenly heard Hua Rong say in a low voice, "That's not Jin Wushu, definitely not …"
He knew that Hua Rong knew Jin Wushu very well. Since she said that he wasn't Jin Wushu, then he must not be Jin Wushu. He saw a small boat heading to the left coast under the night sky. He immediately said: "Everyone spread out and chase them from the left."
Jin Wushu was heading towards the left, and the dead person was a big guy who looked like him on the island. Song Bing's attention was attracted to the heavy armor on the boat after he changed his clothes, and Jin Wushu led a few of his trusted aides to break out of the encirclement.
He never expected Yue Pengju to see through his scheme so quickly. He panicked and Wang Erqi immediately said: "Fourth Prince, keep walking forward. There is a small exit ahead, and I have already sent a small boat to take care of it. "
"What about you?"
"Hurry up and run, I'll naturally be able to escape."
After chasing them for a while, Yue Pengju could see clearly that they were indeed Jin Wushu and the others on the boat.
He shouted loudly: "Jin Wushu, you still want to escape?"
Jin Wushu had long seen him, he was drawing his bow and arrows, and Hua Rong was standing right beside him.
Hero, her hero!
The nemesis, his nemesis!
The arrows rained down on him. Even though he was dodging fast, he was hit by the arrows.
"Jin Wushu, surrender …"
Hua Rong was on the side of the ship, and for some reason, she remembered many things that had happened in the past in the Jinying.
However, with how the gold soldier had swept across and pursued them, even the monarch and subject of the Song Kingdom had lost their lives in the sea of anger, almost as if they had lost their country. In a confrontation between two countries, who could be a bit closer to him?
Amongst the pursuers, and himself were the ones who had the best archery skills. If they didn't use their best and allowed Jin Wushu to escape on this trip, wouldn't their hard work for so long have been in vain?
Disappointed, she pulled back the bow in her hands and shot out an arrow. A miserable scream rang out, and it was hard to tell whose it was. Yue Pengju shot three arrows consecutively, and said vertically: "Jin Wushu, if you surrender, I will definitely let you live!"
Jin Wushu was unable to dodge, and with another arrow in his shoulder, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He used all his strength and shouted: "Yue Pengju, in this life, I will definitely kill you!"
"Jin Wushu, you won't be able to escape today …"
"Fourth Prince, quick, get down …"
"Quickly protect Fourth Prince …"
Wang Erqi, Han Chang and the others tried to cover him, although there were not many people, but they were terrified, especially when it came to Wang Erqi's army, they were almost completely annihilated, and even Wang Erqi himself was killed by Yue Pengju's arrow. When the Song Jun had caught up, Jin Wushu had already escaped along the passage which was meant for Zhao Deji. Once he got out of the tunnel, he immediately boarded a small boat and escaped.
The lights of the Song Jun were already half lit up and half dimmed.
The pursuers had finally left him behind.
Jin Wushu stood alone at the bow of the ship, watching the morning light from the sky.
Three arrows were stuck on his shoulder, his entire body was drenched in blood, you could see that the sky in front of him, was Yue Pengju's world, and was faintly illuminated on the surface of the sea.
Wu Qimai walked up and said softly: "Fourth Prince, I will pull out the arrow for you."
He let out a bitter laugh and personally pulled out three arrows: "Two of the arrows were shot by Yue Pengju! Maybe the other arrow was shot by Hua Rong herself! In all of Song Jun, only the two of them have the best archery skills … "
"Fourth Prince, this lowly one has already said that if I keep her alive, it would be a disaster in the end …"
Gradually, a clear scene appeared in his line of sight: the top of the warship, Hua Rong who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Yue Pengju! His heart was torn apart as he laughed out loudly, "This prince will never admit defeat, and will definitely come back to kill you! Kill Zhao Deji, kill Yue Pengju!"
Han Chang said: "Fourth Prince, the Chinese have a saying, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Sea battles are not the strongest in terms of gold, but in land battles, the Song Jun is not a match for them, don't worry, there will definitely be a chance to kill Yue Pengju! "
Jin Wushu looked at the boundless river surface, neatly tied the three arrows in his hand, and spat out another mouthful of blood. The last bit of fantasy he had for Hua Rong, and that kind of warm and gentle feeling in his heart, had completely disappeared now. He only muttered to himself: "Hua Rong, if you ever land in this prince's hands again, I'll definitely not let you off! You and Yue Pengju must both die! "
