C130 The Impotence of Shangguan Family

Jin Wushu fled, and the remaining pirates were unable to withstand a single blow as they all surrendered.

By daybreak, a few corpses had already floated up, but they were quickly washed away. Those that didn't leave were eaten by some giant fish, and their blood was absorbed into the sea; not a single drop was to be seen.

The vast sea was already calm. There were only a few burnt boats faintly smoking, reminding everyone that a fierce battle had just occurred here last night.

Yue Pengju and Zhang Xian were about to call a meeting of the generals to discuss their return trip when Hua Rong arrived on the boat to take a breather.

The sky and sea were the same, the sky was blue, what a good day, but why was his heart betting so much?

She leaned over the side of the boat and looked at the endless waves. Soon, she would be on her way back to the land. From then on, the scenery was completely different.

A hand rested on her shoulder, she was so shocked that she nearly jumped up: "Qin Shangcheng, why are you here?"

He did not answer and his eyes were just as gloomy as his voice. "Little girl, come with me."

She wanted to retreat, but he firmly encircled her. She no longer retreated, and spoke with an extremely calm voice. "Qin Shangcheng, I definitely won't go with you."

"You have to go! You're my wife!"

"No. I have already remarried Yue Pengju. "

"I know that the two of you are not married! Even if you marry, you must leave him and come with me. "

"No."

"Girl, I'll give you one last chance."

She shook her head. "I'm grateful to you for saving me. I can do anything for you except marry you."

"Other than marrying me, I don't need anything else!"

"Qin Shangcheng!"

"Little girl!" Do you want to go or not? "

"NO!" Qin Shangcheng, go back, and forget about me. "

He ignored her and took a step forward. Suddenly, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom. "Girl, do you know what this is?"

Hua Rong's face was pale white, unable to make a sound.

"This is a marriage engagement! It was you who personally wrote the marriage notice for laozi! You are my legal and proper wife, why must you marry someone else? Why? "Don't tell me that laozi's not good enough for you?"

"…"

"Since you are so determined to marry him, why did you appear in front of laozi again, giving laozi hope, and ruthlessly cutting off his ties?"

"Use me! You're just using me! In your mind, how can I be worse than that Bird Emperor? "

Hua Rong leaned on the railing, tears streaming down her face, unable to refute a single word.

She owed him, but she owed him in the end!

"Qin Shangcheng, I'm sorry!"

"Don't be sorry, I only want you!"

His eyes were bloodshot as he hugged her and kissed her. Hua Rong's vision went black as he pushed with all his might, only to hear the sound of hurried footsteps beside his ears. It was Yue Pengju's angry voice: "King Qin, what are you trying to do …"

Being struck by the spear, King Qin loosened his hand slightly. Originally, Yue Pengju's action was to warn her that he did not use too much strength, but he flipped his hand and smashed hard onto Yue Pengju's chest. At the same time, Hua Rong had already broken free from his shackles.

She saw that Yue Pengju's face was pale white. This punch from King Qin was much more serious than the one from Yue Pengju's spear.

Surrounding them, Zhang Xian and the rest spread out and aimed their bows at King Qin. Yue Pengju's face turned green, "Step down, all of you step down."

Zhang Xian and the others followed the order and left.

King Qin did not notice, and did not care about the wound on his shoulder, staring straight at Hua Rong: "Girl, you must leave with this daddy today!"

"King Qin, she's my wife. I definitely won't go with you."

The King Qin roared. From afar, the five-tooth warship s came over quickly, the more than two thousand pirates on the ship were all fully armed, with a few steps up, and at the top, there were even three cannons. All of them aimed at the main body of the Song Jun warship. The old pirate Third Uncle Yang stood in front of the cannons and waited for his orders.

Two of yesterday's allies were going to fight each other today.

Seeing this unforeseen event, the Song Jun lost all color.

"Hua Rong, tell me, are you staying or leaving?"

Hua Rong's face was pale white, she gently pulled at Yue Pengju's hand. Yue Pengju suffered from King Qin's punch, most of his internal injuries, and he was unable to stop his. Seeing her take a step forward, she stared at Qin Shangcheng and said, "Golden Army might counterattack at any time, I don't want you to fight against Yue Pengju again."

"Then make your choice!"

"Elder sister, come here quickly."

She retreated a few steps quickly and suddenly pulled out her lesser arch. The sharp knife inside shot out, and at this moment, her body was leaning on the bow of the triangle, standing alone at a dead end.

"Elder sister …"

"Little girl, what are you planning to do?"

The sharp blade rested against her chest as she let out a tragic smile, "Qin Shangcheng, you have saved my life twice. I owe you this much and I don't know how I should repay you. But I will never marry you. If we are to force a war, then today, I shall return my life to you! "

Yue Pengju bellowed: Elder sister, what are you doing?

"Step down, Pengju, you step down as well." One more step and I will die in front of you! "

Yue Pengju stopped in his tracks as his heart burned with anxiety.

"Little girl!"

The tip of the blade in her hand stabbed towards her chest with even more force. "Qin Shangcheng, I owe you a debt and am unable to repay you in any way.

Qin Shangcheng stood at the same place and stared at her, tears slowly flowing out of his eyes. After a long while, he finally shouted: "Forget it! Forget it! " He turned around and left.

"Elder sister …"

Yue Pengju rushed forward and hugged her, causing the blade in her hand to fall to the ground with a "Clang" sound.

At this time, King Qin had already reached the floating stairs and was descending. In his final line of sight, Hua Rong saw the droplets of blood on Yun Che's shoulder fall. He suddenly felt a chill and realized that winter had arrived.

The severe winter had unknowingly arrived.

The ship returned.

The sea was calm again.

In the distance, Hua Rong saw the gigantic five-tooth warship in front of him. King Qin was standing on top of the boat, facing him.

The sky was gloomy and the sea breeze was howling. It was unknown whether there would be a storm approaching.

She lowered her head and returned to the cabin.

Three days later, the five-tooth warship disappeared, she thought, maybe it was just by the way, King Qin, he already sailed back to his own island?

Throughout the journey, she never left the cabin. He spent his days in the cabin, lying on the bed. The heat did not subside along the way.

Yue Pengju had always been by her side, accompanying her throughout the day and boiled many herbs. One of the military doctors on the ship had come to see her many times, saying that she had been traveling for many days, that she had exhausted his energy and blood, and that after soaking in the sea for a long time, the cold had seeped into her bones and he would need at least two or three months of rest before he could recover.

Yue Pengju listened to the Military Doctor's instructions, and made fish soup and other things everyday to take care of her. After going on the boat for half a month, she was no longer hot, and her spirits had gradually improved.

They once again headed south, finally arriving at the shore.

It felt like a lifetime had passed since he set foot on land again.

Hua Rong saw that winter's killing intent, even though it was yellow in color, caused him to feel more at ease than the beautiful scenery of the ocean. She sighed and said in a low voice, "It's better to tread on land than to float on the sea."

Yue Pengju held her hand tightly, and feeling the warm power from his palm, his sigh also turned into a smile.

Abandoning the ship and riding on a horse, the road to the bustling south of the river, which used to be filled with buckwheat and green, had long been riddled with wounds and cinders under the ravages of the Golden Army. There were weeds growing everywhere along with a dilapidated manor. The owner of the manor had already escaped and was now empty.

Hua Rong reined her horse, and suddenly said: "Pengju, let's rest here."

"Alright."

After they went ashore, there were many family members gathered in the middle of the army. Zhang Xian's wife, Sis GaoSi, as well as her two sons also came along. As they entered the manor, the women were all over the place. The soldiers took care of the weeds and rearranged themselves, quickly renovating the abandoned manor.

After dinner, everyone went to rest.

A lamp was lit on the table, its light flickering.

It was cold inside the house, so the brazier in the room was not enough to keep him warm. Yue Pengju went to bed first, "Sister, I'll cover you until you're warm."

She laughed and went up, and he put his arms around her, and they were always warm together, and soon he felt warm and soft in his arms.

"Sister, tomorrow we are leaving for the Huaiyang Palace."

"Mm, I won't go with you."

"Alright, wait for me here."

Just like the King Qin, the two of them also gradually understood that an emperor was definitely not someone who could be measured by the feelings of "a person who knows himself", and there was no need to.

It was better to not see each other.

"The Golden Army may make a comeback at any time. If we can preserve a part of our peace, that would be for the best. Penga, if it's released, then accept it. "If you stay, then resign."

"I think so too."

The two of them rarely had different opinions, so no matter what they did, they would always discuss with each other. Hua Rong leaned on his chest, feeling warm and safe.

"Elder sister, you have to take care of yourself these days."

"Mm, when you come back, I'll definitely be completely healed."

Huaiyang Palace.

The news of Jin Wushu's army being defeated at sea spread throughout the north and south of the river like a gale, as if injecting a bit of strength into the fleeing Xiao Imperial Court. The few generals who were watching, conserving their strength and escaping did not dare to hesitate any longer. Very soon, the 100 thousand strong army gathered at the Huaiyang, following the words of Prime Minister Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and the others, they would slowly become as stable as gold.

At this point, the large-scale battle of Jin Wushu "searching the mountains and gathering the seas" had finally come to an end. This time, in just a few months, they had gone from the top of the mountain to the sea, annihilating more than a hundred thousand Song Jun s and sweeping across the entire Hundred Regions and Counties. Jin Wushu's soldiers had divided themselves into several paths, cooperating and battling with each other. He had also looted all the treasures that Zhao Deji had accumulated during his ascension to the throne of the Ying Tian, and brought them back to the Shang Jing.

Just before Jin Wushu had set out on his journey, he had even planned to make Liu Yu the puppet emperor to fight against Zhao Deji's small government in the south. From then on, the two sides fought and Zhao Deji took responsibility for it, he did not dare to speak out.

Although he could not capture Zhao Deji in the end, his contribution was greater than capturing Zhao Deji.

The moment Zhao Deji got the news, he became furious. However, because the defending army was insufficient and he had to chase after the terrifying life of a fugitive, he dispelled the idea of having the army suppress his territory and destroy Liu Yu quickly. All he wanted was to hoard the huge army of a hundred thousand that he had gathered with great difficulty around the Huaiyang.

Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and the rest immediately started to negotiate, but after escaping twice, Zhao Deji no longer trusted the two of them, and gradually promoted him to an official, Zhu Shengfei.

On the Jinguo's side, because Jin Wushu was defeated, the Old Wolf Master was in a critical condition, all the princes and princes were fighting for the rights to the throne, and there was no time for them to send their troops over. Seeing the Song Kingdom's officials take the initiative to negotiate, the two sides quickly reached an agreement on the peace, and the soldiers would temporarily stop.

On this day, it was Zhao Deji's birthday. civil officials and military generals, royalty, and imperial concubine palace maid all congratulated him on his birthday. When the afternoon banquet ended, Yue Pengju led the troops and rushed back.

Yue Pengju stayed at sea for a long time before exterminating a group of bandits along the way. When he returned, it was already two months later.

Hearing that, Zhao Deji was overjoyed, and immediately called for his, seeing that it was only Yue Pengju and the general who were present, he could not help but ask: "Where is Hua Rong? Why isn't she with you? "
