Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 128 Lost
Jin Wushu watched Zhao Deji and others being rescued by Yue Pengju, and the distance was getting farther and farther away. Wang Erqi knew that he was on the verge of defeat, so he knelt down and said, "Fourth Prince, the young general is weak..."

Han Chang said anxiously: "Fourth Prince, if we don't withdraw, we will be surrounded..."

Jin Wushu was so angry that his complexion turned blue, he gritted his teeth: "Withdraw!"

Han Chang got the order, turned around and ran away.

Here, Yue Pengju saw the Jin army turn around, and fired the musket in his hand into the sky with a "bang", and shouted: "Surround the Jin army, annihilate it in one fell swoop..."

Zhao Deji was already paralyzed in the cabin, muttering: "I don't have time to pursue Jin Jun at the moment, let's go back first and then talk..."

Hua Rong said urgently: "Pengju is well prepared, if the Jin army is allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles, it is better to give a heavy blow..."

He was slightly awake, and stood up: "In this case, we must seize Jin Wushu and skin him to vent my hatred..."

"Yes."

The battle turned around in an instant, and the pirates who reacted also joined the Song Army's camp and fought hand-to-hand with the Jin Army.The people were besieged, they had no time to fight, they fled one after another, causing countless casualties.

"Chasing, hurry up and capture Jin Wushu..."

"There are many rewards for catching the Golden Wushu..."

"Jin Wushu, you can't run away..."

After all, Jin Wushu is not proficient in naval warfare, once defeated, looking at the vast sea, he can't help but tremble with fear.

Wang Erqi said: "Fourth prince, the Song army has surrounded this water village, we can only move to the east..."

To the east is Wang Erqi's island, which can last for a while.

Han Chang was full of worries: "When I go to the island, I'm afraid I'll be besieged..."

"The island is rich in products and reserves are sufficient. One man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand are not allowed to open it. It is not a problem to stick to it for a period of time."

Seeing that the pursuers were approaching and there was no way forward, Jin Wushu had to urgently order the remnants to flee to Wang Erqi's island.

Zhao Deji was at the bow of the boat. Seeing that Song Jun was out of pursuit, he said disappointedly: "The thief called Jin Wushu escaped..."

Yue Pengju said: "No, there is a deserted island ahead. We can besiege this island to capture Jin Wushu."

Zhao Deji heaved a sigh of relief, although his expression was still fatigued, he just ate something, changed into dry clothes, and escaped from death, and the situation turned from defeat to victory in an instant. Looking at the general civil servants and military generals in the cabin, he finally got rid of some timidity, and sighed: "Pengju, I am lucky to have you this time."

"The young general came late for rescue, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

"Not too late, not too late! Pengju, after this battle, I will reward you greatly."

Hua Rong could hear clearly from the side, and she didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. After this battle, according to her intention, she wanted to leave Yue Pengju and accompany the king like a tiger, which was not a long-term solution.I only heard Yue Pengju say: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the young general dare not accept the reward for the time being, until he catches Jin Wushu."

"Okay, Yue Pengju, you must hold Jin Wushu, I will kill him to worship the heavens, and wash away this shameful humiliation."

"Yes."

He suddenly took a step back and held Hua Rong's hand tightly: "The young general has one more request, please allow the young general's wife, Hua Rong, to accompany the army with you."

Zhao Deji's eyes turned to Hua Rong, but when he saw her looking at him, his expression was very nervous.Suddenly thinking of that night when the mountains and rivers were at the end, the half fruit she sent, I don't know how it feels in my heart.I also thought of Qin Shangcheng, who was also the hero who rescued himself this time.For some reason, he didn't mention Qin Shangcheng, the person who was expected to bring endless troubles to Yue Pengju—Hua Rong, who used to be the wife of King Qin, how could he give up now?

Zhao Deji pondered for a while before saying: "I can escape this catastrophe and see the light of day again, it all depends on you husband and wife, no matter, from now on, Hua Rong will follow your army..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two of them heard the "Your husband and wife" and looked at each other in surprise, knowing that they have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and now they are truly destined.

Zhao Deji asked Hua Rong only after a brief discussion of meritorious deeds and rewards, "Why did Qin Shangcheng leave?"

These days, he relied on Qin Shangcheng for rescue, and had long wanted to recruit this powerful pirate force, but seeing him leave without saying goodbye, knowing that this person was difficult to control, he looked at Hua Rong, but saw her expression was indifferent.

"Hua Rong, Qin Shangcheng has done a great job in escorting him this time. I want to recruit him to serve the court. What do you think?"

Hua Rong shook his head: "Qin Shangcheng is unruly by nature, it's better to let him settle down in the sea and fight against the Jin army. In this way, the imperial court can save military expenses..."

Zhao Deji nodded: "It makes sense. I will send someone to reward them generously in the future."

The magistrate knelt down: "Your Majesty, it's better to go back first. This place is dangerous and it's not suitable to stay for a long time."

Zhao Deji turned around, boarded the big ship of Zhenjiang prefect, and was supported by civil servants and generals who rushed over, and went back to Zhenjiang mansion first to wait for the good news.

Yue Pengju and Hua Rong reunited, they were overjoyed, but they had no time to talk, so they immediately summoned people to arrange the capture of Jin Wushu.The discussion lasted until midnight, when people were tired and horses were exhausted, all the generals dispersed and went back to their cabins to rest, except for two people.

At this time, Zhao Deji had declared the two of them as husband and wife in public, everyone knew about it, so they did not avoid suspicion and lived together in the same room.

Yue Pengju hugged her tightly and sighed, "Sister, we have been separated too many times."

She was also very emotional: "It's thanks to King Qin, if he hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have seen you."

King Qin helped him several times, from entering the golden camp alone to fleeing at sea, every time regardless of life or death, no matter the cost, Yue Pengju sighed: "I really don't know how to thank him, and I don't know how to face him."

Hua Rong was silent for a while, but she didn't know either.

Will King Qin stop here?
If he refuses to give up, what should he do?

Her gratitude to him is getting deeper and deeper, but if she wants to marry him instead of Yue Pengju, that is absolutely unwilling.

So entangled, how to swing a knife to cut through the mess?
She was in a state of confusion, so she reluctantly said: "Let's talk about it after catching Jin Wushu."

"Ah."

Yue Pengju looked at her by the weaker and weaker candlelight, and saw that she had closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly from exhaustion.He hugged her a little tighter, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep again.

On King Qin's warship.

Uncle Yang met King Qin, saw that he had several arrow wounds on his body, and immediately took out medicine to treat him.

He took the dry rations and water, and ate a lot: "How did you meet Yue Pengju?"

It turned out that Uncle Yang and the Jin Army had fought fiercely but failed. Hearing that Yue Pengju had led the army to come, he had already known that Yue Pengju had defeated the Jin Army in more than ten consecutive games. Seeing that he sent an envoy, he immediately contacted him. It was a strange move that caught the Jin army by surprise.

King Qin failed to find a wife, but he did not reveal a word about Hua Rong marrying someone else. They didn't know about Yue Pengju and Hua Rong, so they only praised: "I never thought that the child on the island would now be a Song Kingdom's number one general."

King Qin frowned. He saw Hua Rong was out of danger and was eager to command his warship, so he said goodbye to her. Now he immediately thought, what should he do when Yue Pengju arrives?
These days, he and Hua Rong lived and died together, never separated even for a moment, and had completely regarded her as his wife. Suddenly remembering that Yue Pengju publicly declared that he was married to her, didn't he have a huge opponent?

How could he endure it?The more I thought about it, the more frightened I got up and left.

"My lord, where are you going?"

"I'm going out."

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

King Qin looked at the opposite ship in the dark, the commander of the ship was Yue Pengju, and at this time, Hua Rong was with him!
He came across the boat, and the guard asked, "What do you want?"

"I'm looking for Yue Pengju."

When Yue Pengju heard the sound, King Qin saw Hua Rong following him. Although his eyes were sleepy, both of them were dressed in neat armor, obviously they didn't overstep.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Pengju was very grateful for his rescue of Hua Rong, and made a big gift: "King Qin, thank you for saving my wife so many times, thank you very much. Yue Pengju can't repay you. If there is a chance in the future, he will do like a dog and horse, and try to repay..."

He sat down sharply: "Who wants you to thank me? What kindness does I have to you?"

"Thank you for saving Hua Rong."

"I would like to thank you. If you hadn't come in time, the girl would not be able to hold on."

Only then did he turn to Hua Rong: "Girl, are you alright?"

"It's fine. How about you, how's your injury?"

"It's okay, just a little injury."

The two answered indifferently, King Qin forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Girl, come back to the warship with me, don't bother Yue Pengju anymore!"

Hua Rong shook his head, calmly said: "Let's discuss how to capture Jin Wushu first."

"no!"

He was very annoyed, but he saw her leaning against the side of the boat, her body swaying a little, presumably because she was soaked in sea water for a long time to catch the cold.He immediately got up and walked towards her, touching her forehead: "Girl, are you having a fever again?"

"I want to rest, you go back first, okay?"

King Qin wanted to get angry and force him, but seeing her like this, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, take the Golden Wushu, and I'll come pick you up again."

He didn't wait for Hua Rong to answer, he turned around and left.Hua Rong and Yue Pengju looked at each other, speechless.

Yue Pengju supported her: "Go in and rest."

"Ah."

At this time, Jin Wushu had been chased to Wang Erqi's island, but because the Jin army retreated in time, there were more than 1 horses left after checking.

Jin Wushu led his troops up the mountain and down to the sea to capture Zhao Deji, and swept all the Qin King's divisions all the way. He made surprise raids many times and defeated many with fewer troops. He chased Zhao Deji into a panic. This time he chased to the sea, and he could have easily captured him. Unexpectedly, he instead into such a difficult situation.

As soon as they settled down, they heard the battle report saying that King Qin and Yue Pengju were fighting together to attack the island.

Han Chang hurriedly ordered the formation, and after fighting Song Jun, he discovered that although the navy led by Yue Pengju had less than 5000 people, its formation was strict and its advances and retreats were controlled.The King Qin's warship on the left wing was also equipped with excellent equipment, and the Jin army was quickly defeated. By the evening, there were only more than 2000 people left.

But more than 1000 people retreated to the island, and the terrain was dangerous. They used stones and bows and arrows as weapons.

Jin Wushu had never suffered such a large-scale fiasco in his life. He only thought that Yue Pengju was really his nemesis. As long as he was around, he would never encounter any good things.

Wu Qimai came in with some food: "Fourth Prince, eat some."

He closed his eyes tightly and his face was pale.

"Fourth Prince..."

"How long can we last on this island?"

Wu Qimai suddenly heard his question and couldn't answer for a while, he was not used to the sea climate, fled to the island, he was more desperate than Jin Wushu.

Jin Wushu lamented: "Yue Pengju uses his soldiers like a god. If we want to escape, it will be even more difficult."

Wang Erqi, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't bear it, rushed in and knelt down in front of him with a plop: "Fourth prince, the young general deserves death, the young general must find a way to get the fourth prince free..."

"That's all, that's all, Yue Pengju is amazing, and it's no wonder you."

Wang Erqi burst into tears: "Fourth prince, just wait, the young general will find a way out." After he finished speaking, he rushed out without waiting for Jin Wushu's answer.
