Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 33

After winning the first battle, the confidence of these stragglers doubled, and they packed up the spoils and went to bed alone.

It was late at night, Yue Pengju came back from his patrol, and saw Lu Da sleeping by a bonfire, snoring loudly. Not far away, Hua Rong was leaning on a tree, leaning on his side, also taking a nap.

He walked over, sat down beside her, took off his clothes and covered her, as soon as his hands left, Hua Rong woke up, smiled and said: "You should rest too."

He nodded: "Sister, this journey has been very hard, how can you bear it?"

"I have suffered even more. Compared to this, what is this? What's more, we won a big game today, and I am too happy. Pengju, I like this kind of life very much. I will follow you from now on, see How many gold bandits can be killed..."

The bonfire was crackling, and her face was glowing red. Yue Pengju glanced at it, and looked away, feeling an extremely strange and sweet feeling in his heart, as if this road full of thorns had been full of flowers since then. .

Hua Rong recalled meeting Li Xing, and said again: "Do you still remember the pirate Li Xing? He actually went to Zhong's village..."

Seeing the worried look on Hua Rong's face, he knew that she was afraid of the days of being abused on the island, so he couldn't help holding her hand: "Sister, don't be afraid, I will never let anyone bully you again."

The hands that were holding her were soft, just like the memories of childhood, but now there was a strange heartbeat, and he subconsciously let go of her hand immediately.Hua Rong didn't notice his abnormality, and was very happy. This reunion, Yue Pengju not only grew into a man with outstanding martial arts skills, but also his way of using soldiers and his calm behavior made her admire him even more. With him by his side, it seemed like a huge danger, and he had nothing to fear.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Amid the sound of firewood burning, Hua Rong slowly leaned against the tree, looking at the sky full of stars.I don't know what it will be like to go to seek refuge with the Ninth Prince this way.The civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty are all treacherous, but with just one Ninth Prince, can they turn the tide?

Suddenly, for several years, the life of fleeing all the way, not to mention revenge for his parents, even the way home is running in the opposite direction, and he has become more and more lost in direction.She sighed in a low voice: "Walking across the clouds, the sound of the rumbling car is like water. White grass and yellow sand, the moon shines on the three or two families in the isolated village. Feihong is passing by, and there is no day and night for thousands of sorrows. Approaching Yanshan, it is difficult to return to the hometown. .

Yue Pengju, who was sitting behind her, heard her melancholy and desolation, and whispered: "Sister, from now on, I will always be here."

From now on, I will be there!
She laughed, feeling that the words were so powerful, a burst of tiredness hit her, she slowly leaned against the tree, closed her eyes and fell asleep, very peaceful, more secure than the days in Zhongjiazhuang.

At some point, her head had already leaned on Yue Pengju's shoulder from the tree. She never woke up, but in her dream, she felt that she was lying on a comfortable pillow, which was very comfortable.

It was already early winter when they arrived at the mansion of the Ninth Prince.

After a notification, the guard came out to reply, saying that the Ninth Prince was studying the military situation and asked everyone to wait.

It was almost evening, and Lu Da couldn't sit still anymore, so he dragged his Zen stick: "The Sa family is going out for a walk. Are you going?"

This is Xiangzhou camp, don't move around.

Before the two could speak, they could only hear the sound of hurried footsteps, and the leader was none other than the Ninth Prince.The three of them saluted immediately, and the Ninth Prince laughed: "Excuse me, excuse me, I am very happy to see my old friend..." He patted Yue Pengju on the shoulder very pleased, "This king has heard that you have made many military exploits. Victory and defeat of Jin Kou, this time, I will promote you to Bing Yi Lang..."

"Thank you, Lord."

"Lu Da, you should also stay under Xiaowang's tent. This king needs you very much."

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness, but I'm used to spending time at home, and I'm still a little bit entangled in mundane affairs. Let's talk about it later."

The Ninth Prince knew that he was unruly by nature, so he didn't force it any more. At this moment, Hua Rong turned to one side, and his eyes lit up after just one glance.The weak girl who ran away from marriage back then has now turned into a heroic appearance, plain white shirt, light yellow soft socks, willow eyebrows and tired smoke, eyes like autumn water, and fragrant muscles like jade snow... The beauty she met for the first time seems to have grown up, like A flower blooms at just the right time.

The Ninth Prince grew up in the imperial palace and was used to seeing countless women. Now, he actually feels that all the women he has seen in his life are not as good as the woman in front of him.

As a woman, Hua Rong came to seek refuge, and she didn't know what the Ninth Prince was planning to accept or not, but seeing him looking at herself blindly, she felt anxious, and saluted before saying, "Hua Rong has learned a little bit of riding in the past few years. The art of archery, in troubled times, has nowhere to go, but I want to be a soldier under the prince's account, and I implore the prince's permission..."

The Ninth Prince came back to his senses and said with a big laugh: "When Xu Caizhi went to Zhongjiazhuang earlier, he reported back to the king, saying that the girl has practiced the superb arrow technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps. In ancient times there was Hua Mulan, and in this dynasty there is Yang The female general of the door, now is the time for employing people, and this king can't ask for it..."

Hua Rong was overjoyed: "Thank you, my lord."

The Ninth Prince summoned Xu Caizhi, "You order to go down immediately and arrange a separate room for Miss Hua."

"Yes."

Hua Rong was very grateful to see that he not only agreed, but also thoughtful of himself.Yue Pengju was originally worried that his sister would end up being a woman, and it would be inconvenient to mix in the men's army camp, but now that the Ninth Prince arranged a separate room for her, he was happier than she was.The siblings looked at each other, and Lu Da also smiled: "Sister, the Sa family can rest assured now. Tomorrow, the Sa family will leave Xiangzhou early in the morning, and they will not say goodbye to you..."

Hua Rong has been taken care of by him many times over the years, and has long regarded him as an elder brother. Although he is reluctant to give up, but knowing his habit, he doesn't say much, just nods, and then the three of them go to bed.

Hua Rong's room is the side room of Shuaiying. Although it is simple, it is very clean.Pushing open the window, you can see rows of green poplars outside, with straight branches, piercing the sky like javelins.

She sat on the only stool in the room for a while, and heard a knock on the door.She went to open the door, but it was the Ninth Prince, the guard behind the lamp, holding a box in his hand.

She hurriedly let the Ninth Prince into the room, and said: "Ninth Prince, what's the matter?"

The guard put the box on the table and opened it. The Ninth Prince looked around the room and said with a smile, "The room is too shabby, I am really wronged girl. This king knows that you have always practiced calligraphy, so I sent you a set of pens and ink..."

In the army in troubled times, Hua Rong naturally wouldn't bring cumbersome pens and ink, and the bundles he tied were only one or two military books. Seeing that the Ninth Prince thought so thoughtfully, I hurriedly thanked him.The Ninth Prince did not stay and left soon.

The next day, Hua Rong got up early as usual and practiced Professor Lu Da's boxing for a while before he heard the sky-shattering sound of training from the school ground in the distance.She walked quietly along the row of trees, and stopped at a hidden place, only to see the Ninth Prince personally inspecting, and from time to time correcting the unqualified posture of the soldiers with guns.

The army of this dynasty, because of lack of training, was about to collapse at the first touch, but seeing this army, it looked like a revival, Hua Rong was very happy, and secretly thought that he and his younger brother had not voted for the wrong leader.

evening.

A huge warship sailed towards the island, and it was about to dock, but its speed had already slowed down.

The boundless sea is very calm, and the sky is still as blue as ever, impenetrable and impenetrable.As they approached, the waves slapped against the rocks, making a muffled sound.

There are thousands of ships lined up on the shore, including the ancient five-tooth warship, but it is obviously nothing, because there are at least seven or eight ships that are much larger than it. Warships, and the largest one is the three-story warship that is slowly approaching the shore. It is equipped with complete equipment, not only the serial shielding crossbows fired, but also the burst guns obtained by the pirates.

As soon as the ship touched the shore, King Qin jumped off the ship. Behind him, hundreds of fully equipped pirates descended one after another, forming a neat line.King Qin walked in the front majesticly, staring at the cold stars, his brows were like lacquer, like a magic star in the sky, and he was too old in the world. He was the real king of pirates in this ocean.

Over the years, he has successively conquered more than a dozen pirate forces on the major coastal islands. His subordinates have grown from less than a hundred to more than 5000 now, with thousands of ships. He has repeatedly defeated the imperial navy and has become the real "overlord" ".He has repeatedly threatened that the warships, firearms, and troops he owns have already surpassed all the navy forces of the imperial court.

Although King Qin still controls the power of seven or eight islands along the coast, his main activities are still in his lair.The buildings on the island have also undergone large-scale improvements. From the original simple shacks to hundreds of houses, it looks like a foreign kingdom.

The most luxurious one is King Qin's "Imperial Palace". On the basis of the original one, it has been reinforced and repaired to make it resplendent and magnificent. The island's meeting hall is also located here.

But no matter how grand they are, the pirates spend most of their time away from here, and they still spend their lives on the run.

As soon as he returned to the meeting hall, the little pirate on duty reported back, saying that Li Xing, who had gone south, had returned and had something important to report.

King Qin immediately said, "It's called Li Xing."

Li Xing, who had been waiting for a long time, jogged in, bowed first, and said with a happy look on his face: "My lord, there is good news..."

King Qin's expression remained unchanged. It had been six years, and he had heard the "good news" reports he had searched for countless times. However, the so-called "good news" turned out to be useless fake rewards.

After years of fruitlessness, he was almost giving up. That girl might have already been buried in the belly of a fish.

He casually asked, "Li Xing, what's the good news?"

"I went out this time, when I passed by Zhongjiazhuang, I saw a woman who looked exactly like Madam..."

Li Xing knew Hua Rong, and he was always cautious in doing things, so he was different from other bragging little pirates.King Qin almost jumped up: "Is this really true?"

"Really. The villain asked the farmer, and the farmer said it was Miss Chong. The villain didn't pay attention at the time. When he went on, he heard passers-by talking about a young officer named Yue Pengju who led the officers and soldiers to win more with less. Using a strange plan to wipe out the bandit Tao Jun who was rampant in the local area for a while..."

"Yue Pengju? Is that the little bastard?"

"Exactly. The villain got the news, and immediately returned to Zhongjiazhuang, but saw the woman leave in a hurry, wearing a helmet, and refused to show her true face. The villain wanted to see what happened, and he was ashamed because he protected her from leaving. It was Kansai Luda, the villains were not his opponents, most of them were injured by his waving Zen staff, and they dared not catch up..."
