C287 Mutually assured destruction

She took another step forward. The blade was so bright that it almost revealed the person's face.

His halberd was still in his hand. Yet he knew that he was not this woman's match!

One day, he would actually be no match for a woman.

Was he going to beg for his life?

Or was he just like a man, putting in all his effort and ending up dead together?

It was originally a simple answer, but he had never fought face to face with a woman before, so he didn't know how to choose.

He was not afraid. However, he was suddenly very curious. What was she planning to do? Kill me? He was going to kill him?

He suddenly laughed and with a drop of his hand, the halberd fell to the ground. A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Alright, Hua Rong, kill me! Even if you die under the peony flower, it would be good to be a ghost. "To be able to die in your hands, I, the crown prince, have not lived my life in vain …"

A heavy slap landed on his face.

The air was filled with that heavy "pa" sound. As if shaking an ancient tree, water droplets dripped down onto his clothes, turning the numb pain into a burning pain.

The smile disappeared completely, leaving him gasping for breath.

The slap was not heavy, not even painful, but it burned, as if dignity were being burned in a fire. It was no longer an occasional failure when she was angry, but the carelessness of the victor.

It was different, absolutely different. It was a completely different feeling compared to when she had beaten herself up into the shape of a pig's head.

He closed his eyes, trying to shake off the terrible feeling of defeat and humiliation.

When he opened his eyes again, he only saw that the face was only a few inches away from him, so he could touch it with his hand. So sweet.

"Jin Wushu, you are trying to be a hero, what kind of hero are you? Is insulting another person's wife, threatening and torturing them, the true character of your hero? "

He sneered, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Hua Rong, on the account of our past relationship, please be more straightforward and kill me with one slash. "

Be more straightforward? How can I be satisfied?

She stared at him, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Jin Wushu, what other relationship do you have with me?"

When that jar of wine was poured down his throat, when that slap landed on his face, all his affection for her had already vanished like smoke in thin air.

In front of this man, he had always been in a state of hiding and escaping. How many women from Song Kingdom had been chased and humiliated like this by him and his brothers?

If they had feelings for each other, why would they tie their hands and humiliate others?

She couldn't help but touch her neck. The bruises were invisible to her, but they were still there, and that night, he had already begun to kill.

His gaze followed her hand and landed on her neck — the shocking mark of suicide attempt, the bruise he had left on her.

It turned out that their relationship had really ended long ago.

Hua Rong smiled, and slowly raised her blade.

Liu Lin led his troops and gave chase, when he suddenly felt that something was amiss.

His advisers were naturally not all idiots and they had long suspected the authenticity of the knock-off Fourth Prince. But they were well aware of Liu Lin's temper and did not like being refuted. At this time, they saw that the crown prince was suspicious, so they took the opportunity to ask him, "Song Jun, Liu Guang has just been defeated and we haven't found any new information yet. Where did the Song Jun come from to be so fast?"

Another advisor added, "Fourth Prince has brought so many bodyguards with him, how can there suddenly be only a few left? Moreover, he didn't dare face us at all. It was obvious that he was cheating. When I heard that the Fourth Prince was serving in the army, I was crafty and met with danger, so I fell in love with a guard with a similar stature who wore his own armor to confuse the enemy … "

The more Liu Lin thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he was unwilling to admit that he was tricked. At this time, the sky was already bright. "We just realized that we were all on the same side last night …"

Liu Lin turned pale with fright, and spurred his horse forward, only to see the forest in front of him in a mess, all of them on his side. It turned out that they had been caught up in the enemy's trick last night. After fighting for a long time, their side had finally trampled upon the enemy.

He immediately turned the horse around and angrily said, "Quickly, chase him!"

The great army turned around and headed in the direction of King Qin.

Furthermore, King Qin had used a trick to make Liu Lin run counter to him, and had finally won the chance to take a breather. At this moment, the raging flames in the city were spreading, and the buildings were emptied of people. Even the firemen weren't able to help in time.

King Qin was unable to discern the direction in which Jin Wushu was escaping in. He scuttled around randomly, and at this point, it was as if Jin Wushu's whereabouts had also disappeared.

He had Ye Lvdayong's parasite, but at this time, the Gu seemed to have lost its effects.

He took out the bamboo cane and placed it at the tip of his nose. His head suddenly felt dizzy, as if something had crawled into his wound.

Because of this hesitation, Liu Lin and the rest had already caught up.

"Your Majesty, run …"

King Qin reacted and immediately galloped away.

The pursuing army drew closer and closer, shooting out arrowheads like raindrops. Just at this time, the horse whinnied again and gave the signal to its enemy. Dozens of arrows shot out densely, causing King Qin to be unable to dodge in time, and his body was struck by another arrow.

Fortunately, there were many mountains in the south. There was a small hill in front of them.

The King Qin rushed over without hesitation.

There was only one path up the hill. When Liu Lin's army arrived, although they saw the armoured Fourth Prince from afar, they could not do anything about it. Everyone had lost their advantage, and all of them were killed.

After crossing the hill, the road in front of them was clear.

But King Qin did not dare to stay even a moment longer. Right now, the fog was very thick, but his armor was in disarray and he was in an extremely sorry state. It was rare for him to suffer such a crushing defeat in his life.

Liu Wu, who was running in the front, gasped, "King, no good, there are enemies up ahead …"

He could hear the screams of the horses in front of him as both sides engaged in a fierce battle.

The group of people were Yue Pengju's personal guards that had met Jin Wushu.

Wu Qimai led his men and set up camp here, waiting for Yue Pengju's arrival.

Yue Pengju's arrow had hit Jin Wushu, but he did not even see how Jin Wushu had landed. The black horse had already dashed on all fours, charging into the dense forest ahead.

Yue Pengju rushed over in one go. At this moment, he was in front of the place where Jin Wushu was hiding. Wu Qimai had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Yue Pengju and the others come over, he saw him chasing after Fourth Prince. How could he bear with it? He did not care about the previous arrangements. He immediately changed his tactics and gave the order to launch an early attack.

Dozens of archer rushed out, looking down from above, and started shooting.

Yue Pengju took the lead and became trapped. He waved his spear and shot out arrows one after another like raindrops. His long spear danced so hard that not even water could advance. As the battle went on, he became more valiant and actually jumped, directly charging into the enemy's arrow formation. With a burst of thorns, more than a dozen archer s died in an instant.

Everyone had never seen such a brave and ferocious person, it was as if his body wasn't made of human flesh and blood, but rather steel and bones. When he jumped to the front of the formation, everyone discovered that he had at least seven or eight arrows pierced through his body.

Taking advantage of this momentary blankness, he did not waste any time and fiercely killed yet another round. At this time, Zhang Xian and the rest had also caught up with him, killing tens of Golden Army s.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Wu Qimai quickly escaped, because he still had a mission to protect Young Master. He was completely loyal to the Fourth Prince, and knew that he must not let Yue Pengju snatch the Young Master away at this time, as long as he could protect the Young Master, it would be a great merit.

Fortunately, Lu Wenlong had already been escorted by twenty soldiers. When Wu Qimai escaped, he realized that Fourth Prince and the rest were already gone.

The Fourth Prince was gone!

This was more important than taking care of the Young Master. If the Fourth Prince was not here, how could he explain himself? He had been through many battles, but when he saw Yue Pengju rushing over to kill him, he knew that he was looking for Hua Rong. As expected, when he saw that he was only a little more than 10 men, he relaxed. He hid behind a tree, holding his breath.

Sure enough, the red-eyed Yue Pengju caught hold of a soldier and asked sternly: "Where is Fourth Prince?"

The soldier knelt down and kowtowed. "Mercy, mercy …"

"Where is the Fourth Prince? Do you have any women in your army? "

"Yes, yes, yes …" The lady is with the Fourth Prince. "

Yue Pengju was shocked and angry at the same time. When he saw Jin Wushu, he saw that he was wearing his big bro's hat and he did not know that Hua Rong was still there. At this time, Jin Wushu had already escaped into the dense forest, what would happen if they continued to search for him?

"Where's the child?"

"The child has been escorted away... Great sir, have mercy, have mercy … "

Yue Pengju threw him to the ground. According to the time taken, Lu Wenlong had definitely been sent flying five hundred kilometers away and could no longer catch up. His current plan was to first save his wife.

Wu Qimai heard these words clearly, and was overjoyed, after thinking for a moment, he immediately ran in the opposite direction. At that place, there was also the team that Jin Wushu was in. Currently, it was the perfect timing to use this team to save the Fourth Prince first. If he could take this opportunity to capture Yue Pengju, it would naturally be a good thing.

As he galloped, Yue Pengju suddenly heard the Horseshoe and immediately spurred his horse to chase after him. It was precisely this dispersion that pulled the distance between him and Jin Wushu in the opposite direction, as they walked further and further away.

Wu Qimai naturally heard the sounds of soldiers chasing from behind, but he deliberately kept Fourth Prince at bay. Seeing that he had attracted Yue Pengju's attention, he did not fight back, but only rode his horse and galloped away.

Yue Pengju chased after him along the way. There were seven or eight arrows piercing his body, like a hedgehog. He didn't feel any pain even in the cold wind, only endless anxiety and fear.

Zhang Xian and the others could clearly see what was happening behind them. They were faintly afraid that if they told him to continue running like this, not to mention capturing the Fourth Prince to save his wife, he would not even be able to make it halfway.

Zhang Xian originally did not dare to stop him, but this time, he could not hold it in any longer. He said loudly, "Pengju, you should first bandage this wound …"

Yue Pengju turned a deaf ear, how could he have the time to stop? His clothes were tattered and he was covered in armor. The metal on the outside revealed traces of frost. It was obvious that he was drenched in sweat. The blood flowed out and quickly congealed again. Only after being blown by the cold wind did he realize the bone-piercing pain. However, this pain soon disappeared. He only took one last breath and raised the whip. He knew that once he fell today, his wife would definitely not be able to survive.

How could he give up halfway at such a critical moment?

Zhang Xian was also somewhat angry, "If you don't stop now, you'll die first, so how can you save Madam?"

While they were speaking, the guards behind them had already surpassed them, and they rushed towards Wu Qimai. Yue Pengju did not answer, he only used all his might to catch up to his.

Zhang Xian was helpless, he had no choice but to follow suit.

By this time, the snow had stopped, and the weather was clear, indicating that it was a glorious day.

The morning sun penetrated through the forest, shining through the gaps between the trees and onto the edge of the blade. It glimmered with a cold light.

Jin Wushu closed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, and when he was a hair's breadth away, he started to exhale.
