Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 31 Six Years of Turmoil
When she was writing, she appeared in front of her soft and fearful, and occasionally smiling. Now, how can she bear the torment in her heart?He struck at the tombstone with one palm, and with one palm, the tombstone made of wooden stakes was smashed into pieces: "You have committed suicide so many times, but you are not dead; you have been hungry for two days, and you are not dead." Immortal; why are you dying now? Girl, I will never believe that you are dead..."

He folded the piece of paper, put it in his arms, and kicked the wine jug thrown on the ground away with one kick. He staggered and cursed as he walked, "Girl, if I catch you, you must be the one to catch me. Girl." , I swear, no matter where you hide in the ends of the earth, I will find you out..."

Six years passed in a blink of an eye, each fighting and fleeing.

This is a cottage called Zhending in Hebei.There is a group of well-known bandits gathered here. The bandit leader Tao Jun not only led his people to plunder the village, but also occupied all the commercial markets in Zhending.This time, the newly appointed Xuan Fu envoy ordered to encircle and suppress this group of bandits with all their strength.

The bandits had already found out the news, so naturally they actively deployed their defenses.On this day, a group of businessmen from other places came to the stockade. Tao Jun was overjoyed and immediately ordered the arrest of these strong businessmen and forced them to join the gang in order to expand the number of strong men and deal with the encirclement and suppression of the government army.

A few days later, while Tao Jun was drinking in the village, he received a report that an official army of the imperial court led dozens of cavalry to shout and challenge in front of the village.Seeing that there were few officers and soldiers, the bandits opened the gate of the village and rushed out with a lot of noise.

The second leader, Jia Jin, fought against the leading squad leader. The squad leader parried several rounds, but he was no match at all. With a whistle, he turned his horse's head and ran away. Tao Jun brandished a big knife on the gate, and said with a smile: "This fellow bird It turned out to be a silver-like pewter tip, I killed all the officers and soldiers of this group, leaving no one behind..."

The bandits chased them aggressively, but they didn't expect that when they reached the foot of the mountain, they suddenly heard a long cry from the fleeing officer, ambushes surrounded them, and the young officer who was originally like a bear suddenly changed into a man with a majestic appearance. Seriously turning back to fight back, the long spear in his hand was invincible. Jia Jin was shot in the center of the pit within ten rounds of the fight, and immediately fell off his horse and died.Seeing this, the rest of the gangsters threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.And those "businessmen" who sneaked into the cottage were all disguised as soldiers. Taking advantage of the emptiness, they set fires everywhere and smashed the bandits' dens.Tao Jun fled on horseback in a panic, and was tripped by the bridle rope. The team leader came up, stepped on his chest, and captured him alive.

After winning the first battle, the envoy Xuan Fu was overjoyed and greeted him out of the government office in person, but saw the young man on the horse:

He wears a silver helmet and chain mail.The silver-maned horse is like a white dragon playing in the water; the Liquan spear is like a pear flower dancing with a pineapple.The whole body is snow-white, and the whole body is covered with silver clothes.Horses are like lions lifting the sky, and people are like diamonds standing on the ground.Where the gun comes, everyone dies; when the horse arrives, everyone dies.

His name is Yue Pengju!
Yue Pengju had dismounted a long time ago, before he could salute, the envoy had already supported him, looked at the calm young man with admiration, and said with a smile: "Pengju, you are really good. You have worked hard, go back and rest first. , I will host a banquet to celebrate your success."

Yue Pengju didn't rush, and made an extra salute before saying: "Thank you for your appreciation. I have agreed to go to visit a close relative I haven't seen for many years, so I kindly ask your permission to return tomorrow."

"All right, all right, go and come back quickly."

"Thank you sir."

Deep in the shade, geese and sheep are flocking.

The closer Yue Pengju got to that place, the more nervous he felt. Excitement, anticipation, longing, excitement... Thousands of emotions came to the bottom of his heart, wishing to see that familiar face at the next glance.

It's been six years, the siblings have been separated for six years, and they don't know how she is doing now.

After entering the farmers, he dismounted immediately, and Yue Pengju found that the number of farmers farming and coming and going was significantly reduced; occasionally there were a few hungry and weak children, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.

After six years of leaving, Qingshan has not changed, and personnel affairs have changed.

Suddenly scared, sister, has she already left here?He was away all year round, the army was in turmoil, and General Zhong died of illness. He only learned about these things later.

My heart was even more urgent, and I didn't care to carefully identify whether there were any familiar faces, so I just walked in.

Nuo Da's hall was already empty, only an old man was dozing tremblingly at the door, he was overjoyed that this old man recognized him, it was the old servant Zhou Bo of Zhongfu.He stepped forward and made a promise: "Uncle Zhou..."

The old man opened his dizzy eyes: "Brother, we don't accept guests here anymore, you can invest elsewhere..."

When General Zhong was in prosperity, the village often received down-and-out heroes, or offered recommendations, retention, or subsidized money and food. Now, from the peeling vermilion lacquer gate, we can see luxuriant grass and birds flying around. Obviously, Zhuangzi has followed The general's death and decline.

"Uncle Zhou, where are the others here?"

"My family members have gone with Mr. Xiaozhong's manager. There is no one here."

Yue Pengju was anxious: "Uncle Zhou, I'm Yue Pengju. I came here with my sister six years ago. Don't you recognize me?"

Only then did the old man realize that his face was familiar, and rubbed his eyes: "Little brother, have you grown up?"

He nodded and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhou, where is my sister?"

"You mean Miss Hua? She just went out and will be back in a while."

"Where have you been?"

"Recently the village is not peaceful, there are bandits invading, Miss Hua led the tenants to practice martial arts."

Yue Pengju was overjoyed, and immediately bid farewell to his old man and went to the martial arts field. When he was in Zhongjia, he used to practice martial arts in that field every day, and Hua Rong must practice there.

After rushing in, I found that there were only seven or eight people in the martial arts arena, and it seemed that they were finishing their drills, each with a hoe and a pole, and went to work again.

Then, he saw a slender man in a strong outfit walking towards this side, with a green scarf and double rings, civil and military flower boots smeared with green, with a bow and a pot of arrows. When he got closer, he could see her white lips. Red eyes are handsome, eyebrows are bent into the temples, waist and shoulders are slender.

Hua Rong walked all the way, but seeing a tall young man staring at him obsessively without blinking, he thought, this man is so rude.

Just as she was about to leave sideways, she was overjoyed to hear: "Sister..."

This voice is something I can't forget, it's so familiar.

She stopped immediately, but saw the man standing in front of her, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, tall, with a broad chest, strong bones and muscles, and an imposing appearance.

The weak boy in the past is now a majestic man.

After a while, she laughed, her voice trembling with excitement: "Pengju, it's you!"

"Sister, it's me."

The two siblings only answered this sentence briefly. Although there were thousands of words, they didn't know where to start. After standing opposite each other for a while, Hua Rong smiled and said, "What are you doing standing here? Let's go, go back with my sister." .”

Yue Peng raised his hand and silently followed her, full of joy.

The setting sun stretched the person's shadow long, Yue Pengju lowered his head, and saw her slender figure was covered by his own tall shadow, the two figures overlapped and looked very close.

"Sister, I wrote you a letter, did you receive it?"

Hua Rong laughed: "In the past two or three years, most of the time I have been away from the planter, plus the chaos caused by the war, I have never received it."

Yue Pengju's eyes lit up. In the past few years of his military career, from a soldier to a death squad leader, it goes without saying that it was hard and boring. When he was free, he once sent a letter to Hua Rong, but he never received a single reply. I was very concerned about her, fearing that something might happen to her again.

It is only now that I know that she has not been at the planter for two or three years, so it is no wonder that she did not receive it.

After entering the door, Hua Rong was in a very good mood. While pouring tea for Yue Pengju, he looked at him: "You are so tall, hehe, why come to see me this time?"

Yue Pengju briefly talked about the defeat of the bandit Tao Jun, and Hua Rong was overjoyed, only to realize that the former boy had become not only a man but also a hero.

"Will you stay with the envoy for a long time?"

"There are frequent wars now. Song, Jin and Liao have been fighting for years. I heard that the Xuanfu Envoy recruited troops to fight against the enemy and the bandits. Let's stay and see."

"Hehe, then it will be easy for us to meet."

When Yue Pengju saw her hanging such a bow and inserting such an arrow, she could tell at a glance that she had changed a lot in the past few years except for her appearance, especially her gentle and slightly heroic eyes. , just this one glance, like a spring breeze.

"Sister, you are exactly the same as when I left..."

"I've changed, I'm now a hundred steps through Yang."

Yue Pengju also laughed, his smile was completely sincere, basically, he would believe anything Hua Rong said.

"Are you hungry?"

"I'm really hungry."

"My sister will cook you something delicious."

Uncle Zhou was rambling on about the meals, they were all very common and simple food, not the big fish and meat that he had when he was farming six years ago.The species has long since declined.And the "delicious food" made by Hua Rong himself is nothing more than fresh and tender mountain vegetables, without meat.

But Yue Pengju ate very sweetly, like the best meal in his life.The window of the dining room was open, and the wind blew through the branches of the green poplar. The careful and gentle woman sitting opposite felt this kind of profound tranquility for the first time after years of traveling, which was more violent than the joy of a triumphant victory.It seemed that when he returned to the beach, the days when the siblings were picking shells on the grass in the bay, but he didn't mention it anymore, for fear that it would become the pain in her heart.

She didn't want to recall that time, and he didn't want to, but he kept in mind, because it was there that he met her.

The siblings had just finished their meal when they suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the door: "Amei, Amei..."

Yue Pengju remembered this rough voice, and said happily, "Brother Lu is back?"

"It's not him."

After the death of General Zhong, Lu Tisha stayed at Zhong's family to take care of him for quite a while, until Xiaozhong's manager and family moved to the place where he took office.During this period, Hua Rong not only got him to teach martial arts, but also got a chance to introduce a stranger, his riding and shooting skills improved greatly, and he finally reached the point of piercing Yang with a hundred steps.

After getting along for a long time, Lu Tixia is very forthright and righteous, treating her like her younger sister and taking care of her a lot.

The siblings went out together, only to see Lu Tiha striding in with a bowl-thin Zen stick, and when he heard Yue Pengju call "Brother Lu", he immediately recognized him and laughed loudly: "Good guy, see you now!" Your sister isn't crying, is she?"

The embarrassing thing was exposed as soon as they met, Hua Rong finally defended his younger brother, and said softly: "Pengju is a good boy now, so he won't cry. By the way, Brother Lu, have you got any news this time?"

Lu Tisha's expression became serious, and he sighed: "Now the Kingdom of Jin is eyeing the tiger, the Ninth Prince was ordered by the court to set up a Grand Marshal's Mansion in Xiangzhou, and sent Liu Hao, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, to recruit volunteers from the people. The Sa family contacted some people, Ready to join the Ninth Prince and fight against the gold together..." He looked at Yue Pengju, "My boy, do you want to go to the Ninth Prince's command?"

"Wait for me to report to Xuanfu Envoy, and then make a decision."

"Row."

The three talked for a long time that night, and the court is now completely in a precarious state.

Yue Pengju said: "I'm afraid the iron cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin will soon go south with their whips..."

Hua Rong was surprised: "It will be so fast? Isn't Song and Jin jointly destroying Liao?"

"I participated in the joint attack on Yancheng. The Song army besieged the dying Yanjing with 10,000+ people. However, due to lax military discipline and lack of fighting spirit, they were defeated by the Liao army. The pharmacist later also defected to the Kingdom of Jin..."

In that battle, Yue Pengju and a handful of other officers and soldiers fought desperately to escape.That is to say, this time the so-called "uniting the Song Dynasty and destroying the Liao Dynasty" Jin Guo saw through the weakness of the Song army at a glance.It is not surprising that the tiger discovered that the Guizhou donkey was just a huge monster with no fighting power, so it rose up and devoured it.

That night, everyone almost talked about Tianming. Because Hua Rong was favored by the Ninth Prince, he decided to go to the Ninth Prince's tent with Lu Tiha to see if he could contribute something. Think again.
