Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 620 Finding a Needle in a Haystack
She closed her eyes and fell asleep carefree.

King Qin stared at her face. Over the past many years, the wind and frost of the years have already condensed, so hard, so haggard.He sighed softly, but laughed again. Fortunately, after going through so many ups and downs, at this moment, the dust finally settled.

In such noisy days, everyone slowly approached the sea.

Lu Wenlong had never seen the sea or been on a big boat before, so he was very happy to hear Xiaohu describe it happily, wondering what kind of paradise that mysterious island was.It is precisely because of this that I yearn for it.

Not only the two children jumped for joy, but even King Qin became excited.

Just like a fish, it has to be in the water to breathe, wander, and be full of strength.And the ocean is his sky, he can fly freely, just like a shark, he can sweep everything.

The carriage stopped, and everyone looked at the blue sky in the distance, which was so transparent that it stretched as far as the eye could see.

Lu Wenlong was very surprised: "Where is this ocean? Didn't you see any water?"

Little Tiger also felt strange: "Father, why did we stop?"

At this moment, he saw Father's strange behavior, getting off the carriage.Didn't even ask for help.

"Father, is your leg okay?"

"Daddy, can you stand up?"

More than two children, Hua Rong was also ecstatic: "Qin Shangcheng, how are you?"

He laughed, but frowned.Hua Rong and Lu Wenlong hurriedly reached out to support him. It turned out that he stood up unknowingly under excitement.

Liu Zhiyong ran up: "My lord, where should we transfer?"

"right here!"

"Huh? Why?"

This place is more than 100 miles away from the ocean, and in the opposite direction.

"Get rid of all the luggage and go left."

Hua Rong saw that the direction was wrong, but she knew that King Qin would never act recklessly, of course she had her own opinion, so she nodded immediately.

The joke on Qin Dawang's face disappeared, but he held her hand with confidence, "Girl, our journey has been very smooth. But I hope to go back to Changlin Island smoothly. Even if Zhao Deji is a bastard What kind of tricks does Dan have, he doesn't even think about it."

........................

Hua Rong also thought of this. Seeing that King Qin had already made arrangements, this was his territory, so of course he was up to it.Everyone else was very surprised.Regardless of their surprise, Qin Dawang immediately ordered some items to be disposed of on the spot. When night fell, everyone went back on the road, lightly dressed and lightly riding.

After such a detour, after walking back for a while, I set foot on the left direction again.When Hua Rong saw it, it suddenly became clear to him that it was a remote road that he had never traveled before, and in front of him was a faint mountain range.

"This is where?"

King Qin was very proud, and whispered in her ear, "Remember the time when Zhao Deji fled? He asked to take the secret road, but I didn't take them away. I only chose a route close to Wang Erqi's island. Isn't that This is the secret path. Through this mountain range, there is a deserted island..."

Hua Rong knew that he was deeply scheming, and he was almost in a desperate situation back then, so he refused to send out his direct lineage, let alone let anyone set foot on Luoxia Island.It is understandable to keep such a hand now.

"Girl, only Uncle Yang and I knew this secret before."

She smiled sweetly: "Now we all know."

King Qin looked back. These people were all his closest subordinates. They followed him from the savage jungle to the life-and-death battle with Jin Wushu.

Besides, it is impossible for Zhao Deji not to be unmoved after hearing Qin Hui's poisonous plan.He reviewed the military reports from various places these days, and after reading them carefully, he discovered that the current dynasty, and even the regime of the Han people, had always attached importance to the inland areas, and even if there were water bandits, they were all small-scale and vulnerable.Moreover, those water bandits actually came from the inland lakes, the land of fish and rice, especially the tax-heavy areas in the southeastern provinces. Therefore, the strength of the naval forces of all dynasties was very weak.Let alone involving distant oceans.

Grasslands, deserts, and vast oceans are beyond the reach of the Han regime.Even Tang Zong and Song Zu never made a difference.

Thinking of the thrilling naval battle back then, Jin Wushu's rockets, the endless sea water, the desperate situation where there was nowhere to go, if you fell, there would be no bones left.Just for the sake of King Qin, is it worth so much trouble?

He weighed it up and concluded in the negative.Even if you want to capture King Qin, you have to wait for him to run rampant on land.As long as he doesn't openly rebel, I don't have to provoke him, and everyone will not violate the river.

After weighing repeatedly, Zhao Deji pushed away the military memorial, but other memorials bothered him even more.While impeaching Qin Hui, a few people who didn't know how to live or die also raised the case of Yue Peng's injustice and asked Zhao Deji to reconsider.Of course, they all blamed Qin Hui completely, and the emperor was just "deceived", and the emperor was not guilty.In the past, they would not have dared to attend such a memorial, but this time, they wanted to take advantage of Qin Hui's illness to stumble.

Zhao Deji was trying to find a handle on Qin Hui at this time, but this "handle" obviously did not meet his wishes.He was afraid of Yue Pengju's three voices, "Zhao Deji will be killed in the next life." He woke up from nightmares many times, and it was either Yue Pengju or Hua Rong, the couple who wanted their lives.When he thought of Yue Pengju, he hated him more than Qin Hui, how could he easily restore his name?

The more he looked at it, the more disturbed he became, he threw the memorial on the ground, but he was not relieved, he rushed up and trampled it a few times, wishing to kill these ignorant guys.However, since the Yue Pengju incident, he has understood a truth. If he kills these admonishing censors, he will fulfill their reputation of loyalty, that is, from the side, he will show his innocence and stupidity.He is unwilling to fulfill these "loyal ministers" so more often, he is willing to abide by Song Taizu's oath not to kill ministers and petitioners, and play a lenient role.

He vented for a while, and when he saw Yue Pengju's name, he couldn't help but think of Hua Rong.I also wondered in my heart, why is this woman's life so hard?Why wandering around the world for many years, but still not dead?
Because of this, he was even more curious about her.

At this time, he heard respectful footsteps. It was two children who knocked on the door and came in. They both knelt down and said: "My son pays his respects to the emperor."

These two people are about the same age and ability, they were adopted by him from the Zhao clan, and they are the direct descendants of his ancestor Song Taizu.Song Taizu was killed by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi in the incident of "The Shadow of the Candle and the Axe". From then on, Zhao Guangyi's lineage dominated the Zhao family.When he arrived at Zhao Deji, Jingkang was in a catastrophe, his father and brother were all prisoners, and after he died again, by chance, he had to adopt an heir from the surviving Taizu's line.

Of these two children, he will choose one of them as heir.One was raised by Wu Jinnu and the other by Zhang Yingying.

The two knelt on the ground, kowtowed and called him "Father Emperor", he agreed perfunctorily, and glanced at them casually.For these two adopted "sons", he has never been able to arouse any father-son affection, on the contrary, he has an inexplicable disgust and hatred.Without him, if it weren't for the repeated admonitions of the troubled ministers, he would never have been adopted so soon.He always imagined that he could have a son.Of course, his fantasy comes from, maybe the woman isn't dead yet.He always thought that if she was willing to commit herself to him, she would definitely be able to give birth to a son.

Of course, he himself knew that the idea was absurd.If she appeared in front of him again, it would definitely be time to kill him.He is very clear.

He suddenly came up with a plan, trying to use Qin Hui's condition to cast a bait.It was a king's curiosity and natural arrogance - this woman would definitely be fooled!Will!

If it were her, she would definitely make a comeback.

More importantly, he was curious, what did she look like?

Or, to kill her again?
Therefore, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity of the censor to show his benevolent attitude, and announced to the world again with great fanfare that he would give preferential treatment to the families of a group of political prisoners, including Hua Rong's mother and son, but he still didn't mention Yue Pengju.

Everyone knows that the whereabouts of Yue Pengju's widow and son are unknown, and the emperor's hypocrisy only shows his hypocrisy even more.The censor had nothing to do, and he didn't want to get into trouble again, so he let it go.

After this order was issued, Zhao Deji secretly dispatched troops even more intensively, and started a secret military operation along the southeast coast.However, the navy of this dynasty is very weak, with internal and external troubles, and has no effective defense against pirates, and there is no way to defend against them. Therefore, once this order is issued, it will naturally not be fully implemented.

The sailors followed Zhao Deji's escape route every day and set up defenses along the major coasts.However, after waiting for more than a month, there is still no news.The discipline of the Song army was chaotic, coupled with the lack of food and payment, they harassed the local people wantonly.The villagers who had experienced a massacre by the Jin army recalled the absurdity that the lord tablets of Song Taizu and others were discarded here, and felt that these court navy divisions were worse than the Jin army, so of course they would not give them any help and support.

After such a commotion, when the news reached Zhao Deji's emperor, he received another urgent secret report at [-] li.When I took it apart, it turned out that it was in the Lianghe area. Someone opened a warehouse to help, and the victims of the disaster all over the world told each other that there was a great hero living Bodhisattva in the local area, and so much silver and two great deeds were distributed.What shocked Zhao Deji especially was that the person who gave the relief was exactly the same as King Qin who was said to have robbed the Jin Army's rations.It is said that in the local area, from time to time, there is a big man with a sword and a big horse riding a tall horse, haunting the people, and has a certain connection with the scattered eight-character army.

All kinds of legends became more and more bizarre. Of course, Zhao Deji couldn't get to the bottom of it, but he realized a very crucial issue. Calculating according to time, wouldn't it mean that King Qin has always been active in the Lianghe area?
The two rivers and Xiangyang area are the areas where Yue Pengju fought back then. He enjoyed a high prestige in the hearts of the northerners in this area, and many households in Xiangyang were brought in by him back then.King Qin is active here, and Hua Rong is also active here?

What are they up to?Using Yue Pengju's foundation to make a big fuss?The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he broke out in a cold sweat.Immediately issued a secret order to the naval generals stationed along the coast, knowing that there was no change in the area, and King Qin and others never came back.

The general of the navy thought he was going to order himself to go out to sea to wipe out the pirates, so he immediately started to play, saying that the coastal military force is weak, the ships are old, and the food and grass are not enough. With this situation, to attack the pirates in the deep ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Meaningless.
