C37 Yue Pengju's Return

After the King Qin and his group were left behind by Lu Da, they headed south. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more desperate, and that his group was very eye-catching, they changed their strategy, dispersing the twenty plus people and infiltrating the Xiangzhou City one after another before making their plans.

The King Qin had sent two of his closest subordinates to stay at the back. On this day, he passed by a small city and heard a commotion in front, saying that the new Master Yi Lang had led his troops to a crushing defeat and was now invading the Golden Army. The imperial court was very weak and had not heard of any news of victory for a long time. This victory was very exciting to everyone, and they all rushed to tell each other about it.

King Qin blended into the crowd, thinking, what kind of person is this Yi Lang? It was much better than the imperial government's scabbard. He didn't know if he had won by a fluke or not.

A team had set off with strict discipline. It could be seen that the people who led the troops were usually very good at governing. When he saw the young officer riding on a big white horse, King Qin could not help but shout out, isn't this brat Yue Pengju?

The boy from back then had long since become a big boy. With an eight-foot long spear in hand, he was very awe-inspiring.

He wished that he could immediately rush out of the group to pull him down and ask about Hua Rong's whereabouts, but seeing that he was leading such an army, she forcefully endured it and immediately led her underlings to follow the group of people, seeing that they were heading towards Xiangzhou.

In the camp of Xiangzhou City, the Ninth Prince had obtained a great victory. Overjoyed, he personally left the city to welcome everyone.

Yue Pengju got off the horse, and saw that a group of guards beside Ninth Prince was dressed in male clothing, he was extremely happy, and bowed to Ninth Prince, but just as she was about to greet him, she saw her blinked, and indicated for him to speak later.

Seeing his sister's smiling face, he did not say much and only followed beside Ninth Prince, but couldn't help but glance at her from time to time.

When they returned to the camp, they would discuss the rewards.

The Ninth Prince was overjoyed: "Pengju, a national talent, there is hope for ZTE. This king bestows you with 100 gold taels, 10 brocade silk, and two muse s … "

Yue Pengju said anxiously: "Thank you, Your Highness, muse will reward the other meritorious service."

Ninth Prince laughed out loud: "You haven't even married yet, it's only right for you to have one or two Kikuji s to accompany you."

He said with emotion: "If the gold cuttlefish is not destroyed, what about home? "I thank the prince for his kind intentions. For personal matters, we should talk about them in the future."

Seeing him like this, the Ninth Prince was very happy and immediately gifted the two muse s to the other soldiers.

Hua Rong stood at the side, smiling merrily, as though he was happier than. She only wished that her little brother had grown up and truly become a man that could support the heavens and earth. For the first time, it was as if she was facing a man, and not a child like before.

That night, the generals had a feast and went to the brothel in Xiangzhou to whorehouse.

After three years in the army, the sow was also treated as a mink cicada. After the victory, whoring had already become an open secret among the soldiers. No one took it to heart.

When the generals went to pull Yue Pengju, they realized that he had already disappeared. Every time this happened, he would not be around, and would not participate even once. Everyone got used to it and stopped calling him.

Hua Rong returned to her room, seeing that it was not too late yet. She was very excited, but also regretful that there were a lot of people today, and she herself did not even have much time to talk with Penga. She did not know how long he could stay.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Yue Pengju's visit.

She joyfully shouted, "Come in."

Yue Pengju saw that she seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, and was also very happy. His heart was pounding the moment he entered the door, and after seeing her for a moment, he lowered his head, looked elsewhere, and slowly said: "Elder sister, how have you been these past few days?"

"Not bad. Penga, they all went out to have fun, why didn't you go? "

Yue Pengju's face flushed red: "Elder sister, I never go."

"Yes, this is what a good man should be like." Hua Rong was exceptionally happy. Other than her poor and talented father, all the other relatives, who had some power and influence, were wives and concubines, raping women and visiting brothels was a common occurrence. Seeing that Yue Pengju was still young and in a military camp, he felt an abnormal sense of restraint and self-satisfaction, and felt very comforted in his heart.

Hua Rong went into the house, and brought out the dried fruits and snacks that Ninth Prince had normally sent over to him and placed on the table. She wanted to tell him to eat them later, but when she saw something in his hand, she asked him: "Pengju, what did you take?"

Yue Pengju suddenly remembered, and immediately passed over a small piece of yellow gold. He had always received rewards from battles before, hence he did not leave any money for the soldiers. This time, he had distributed the 100 gold coins to his subordinates. From an unknown day onwards, he had realized that she was alone and helpless. He must take care of her and let her live a peaceful life.

Hua Rong looked at the gold and laughed. She was surprised: "Hehe, I do not need money."

This is true, what is common in this dynasty are iron money s, but iron money's purchasing power is also not strong, they are destitute in this chaotic world, they are scarce in resources, so using gold to buy things is naturally much better.

Other than living in a small village, it was the first time in his life that he had received money from a man. It seemed like it was the cost of supporting his family.

He nodded seriously. We've always had no home, so when the situation stabilizes a bit, I'll go find a quiet place to buy a small house, and then elder sister won't have to wander all over the place. "

Hua Rong had originally been asking casually, but when she saw how serious his answer was, she was moved. She could not say anything for a moment, so she just poured him a cup of tea and said: "Drink this, see if you can drink?"

Yue Pengju had been in the army for many years, and now the two of them sat together peacefully. However, when he saw her cook the tea with her hands, his heart skipped a beat and he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. He couldn't really tell what it felt like and hurriedly placed the cup on the table.

Hua Rong did not notice his abnormality, and asked him with a smile: "Pengju, in all these years, you have been out in the world, with no one to take care of you, it is about time you get married and start your career. Ninth Prince has bestowed upon you muse, why don't you want it?"

Hua Rong saw him as her own brother and helped him think about it. On one hand, he was unable to marry him, and on the other hand, he had been out for many years. Now that he had received some rewards due to military merits, Hua Rong started to care about his marriage plans.

Hearing her question, Yue Pengju blushed and shook his head.

Hua Rong thought he was embarrassed, and did not think much of the idea of bestowing muse the title of concubine. She said: "Fine, my brother is a martial arts genius, in the future, big sister will help you pay attention to those talented girls … …"

Yue Pengju suddenly said: "Elder sister, you don't have to worry about me.

"Heh heh, that's fine too. We'll talk about it after we kill off the gold cuttlefish."

The two talked about the situation outside for a while, the more Hua Rong listened, the more shocked she was. Seems like Golden Army is about to head south at full speed, Yue Pengju's views were almost the same as Lu Da.

"Pengju, when are you leaving?"

"In about three days."

Only three days? Hua Rong was disappointed, the worries in her heart did not matter, as even if she said it, it would be useless, Yue Pengju was about to set off, but it only worried him.

Seeing her unsettled expression, Yue Pengju wanted to say something but hesitated, and immediately asked: "Elder sister, what are you worrying about?"

After he asked, Hua Rong could no longer hold it in, and with a low sigh, she briefly narrated the matter of King Qin coming to her doorsteps, and only mentioned the matter of Ninth Prince proposing marriage, because since Ninth Prince had personally said that Xu Caizhi "acted on his own", it was obvious that he would not make any further movements in the near future.

But when Yue Pengju heard that the King Qin had come looking for him, he could no longer hold it in and angrily said: "Sister, don't be afraid. I'll send him away. Elder sister, don't worry. I will never let anyone hurt you again. "

Hua Rong relaxed in her heart, laughed, and said gently: "Mn, with you here, I'm not afraid."

On this night, it was unknown if it was because Hua Rong had mentioned the things she was worried about that made Hua Rong's sleep outside the range of sweetness. Yue Pengju, on the other hand, happened to be the opposite of her. Initially, he was all alone, but when she thought about how his elder sister was alone in Xiangzhou and how she was a woman, she felt that it was not a long term solution even if there were a lot of inconvenience.

The morning of the second day, he woke up and practiced his spear arts for a while. After eating breakfast, he only said a few things to Hua Rong before changing into a new set of clothes and left. Originally, since the King Qin had already come knocking, he would naturally come looking for him. However, he didn't have the time to wait for him to come knocking. He had already decided that before he left, he would first settle this troublesome matter for his sister. If dodging was not an option, then he might as well face it.

Because of the war, Xiangzhou had lost its bustling days, but because of the presence of the Ninth Prince's army, it had brought along a bit of qi image. The city was filled with people, and people were panicking, as everyone was discussing the matter of the Golden Army heading south.

Yue Pengju looked around him. After walking down the streets and alleys, he couldn't find any trace of the King Qin. Even though it was a small city, it wasn't easy to find a person. It was a good thing that the King Qin was tall, if he was in the crowd, it would be easy to find him.

In the evening, they finally found four people whose movements were extremely strange. One of them was the Pirates' Li Xing that they had met on the island back then.

He immediately left a message and saw that the few of them were hurriedly heading to a brothel called "Spring Lovers". Could the King Qin also be here?

He couldn't follow her, he only checked in secret and then set off back to the camp, intending to check again tomorrow.

He picked up the butterfly shaped jade hairpin that the vendor handed him. It was extremely lifelike and exquisite, and this was the first time in his life that he had seen something like this.

When he returned, it was already late. Hua Rong was looking at him from the door, but when she saw him, she immediately laughed: "I was looking for you to eat."

He walked over with large strides, and handed the boots and jade hairpin over to Hua Rong: "Elder sister, this is for you."
